Although the lightning didn't come, the merman appeared right on time once again.
Although these merfolk all look pretty much the same, their body shape and height are quite similar to the one from yesterday.
The merman made no sound, and didn't even dare to surface. He quietly swam to the shore, intending to launch a surprise attack on Shen Muyu when he wasn't paying attention.
If it weren't for the fact that it couldn't attack using its singing from underwater, it probably wouldn't have even bothered to show its head.
Without the protection of water, Da Bai immediately sensed the presence of the merfolk and began to call out towards the river. Shen Muyu opened her eyes immediately upon hearing this.
Unfortunately, the singing had already entered, and just as Shen Muyu began to feel dizzy, the bracelet lit up again.
Realizing that the bracelet had blocked the attack, Shen Muyu immediately put it back in her backpack and amplified it. Without stopping, she lifted the blanket and climbed up the tower.
At this moment, the merman was unaware that its attack had been interrupted and continued singing until it was hit by several shots.
Is this human poisonous? It's one thing to be able to defend itself, but how can it even retaliate?!
Desperately suppressing the urge to go ashore for a life-or-death battle, the merman slunk back into the water and fled once more.
There's nothing we can do about it. Its strength has been reduced since it came into this world, and it can only launch mental attacks once a day. So this isn't called running away in defeat, but rather being forced to bow one's head under someone else's roof!
Shen Muyu waited for another ten minutes or so, but when there was still no movement, she yawned and crawled back inside to go to sleep!
When Shen Muyu woke up, the rain was still pouring down. She took the opportunity to stretch and looked out the window.
The river level had risen considerably by now, which meant there was no wind; otherwise, a wave could have swept a lighter car into the water.
After frying the leftover dumplings from last night, Shen Muyu and Da Bai had a simple breakfast, while Xiao A started the car again precisely at eight o'clock.
Just like yesterday, the organizer's electronic voice rang out again.
"Due to the increased severity of acid rain, the probability of finding wooden resource boxes has decreased by 80% today."
"In addition, to ensure a stable return for the vast majority of players, the dungeon game will be available again today, and players will be randomly selected to enter."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Muyu was taken away from his spot by a white light.
"Welcome to the game, the single-plank bridge battle royale."
"This is a game that requires both skill and luck. Now, let me explain the rules to you."
"Do you see the log bridge in front of you? This will be your next battlefield."
"The timer starts when you step onto the log bridge. Three minutes later, a monster will be chasing you at an average speed of 50 miles per hour."
"If the car stops during the process, the monster will accelerate to 80 mph and continue for ten minutes."
"Note that the monster cannot be killed. If you are caught by the monster, you will achieve the 'death' achievement unless you have a special item to avoid it."
"Coins will appear on the road during the game, and you can only pass the game by collecting 5,000 coins."
"Of course, in addition to gold coins, there will also be some auxiliary items. Getting these items will increase your chances of success."
"Every 1000 gold coins will offset one death crisis penalty."
"These are all the rules of the game. Please drive your car onto the log bridge within three minutes to start the game. If you exceed the time limit, you will be automatically eliminated and die."
Shen Muyu knew about this game; someone had shared it in the area chat before, and the gameplay was somewhat similar to Mysterious Escape.
At the time, they said they didn't think anything of it, but when I actually found myself on that log bridge, I was a little scared.
The log bridge in front of us looks really dangerous. It's not very wide in the middle, and it can only allow two cars like Shen Muyu's to drive side by side.
There were no guardrails or other protective measures on either side, and below was a bottomless abyss.
What's even more dangerous than last time is that it's raining here, and it's probably acid rain, whereas in the game it was sunny and clear.
Those who have played the game say that the gold coins are almost always right next to the edge, or there is a long string of gold coins in the middle followed by an inconspicuous little tree stump. If you hit it, you will be forced to stop, which will make the monster speed up and catch up.
Moreover, this log bridge is not straight; it has many turns, some of which may even be a sharp 90-degree turn without any cushioning.
It seems that no one has finished this game yet. The Earthlings who enter are basically moving at the speed of the monsters, and they try to only go to the middle, slowly waiting until the game ends at 8 pm to leave. Although they get less stuff, at least they are still alive.
Shen Muyu definitely couldn't choose this method. First, she couldn't possibly spend twelve hours here, and second, she had Xiao A!
Little A can perform very precise micro-operations while ensuring safety, and the vehicle scanning function can also know the situation in front in advance, so it can collect the gold coins on the side or in front of the wooden stake in one go.
Not daring to waste any time, Xiao A drove straight onto the log bridge in front of him.
Just like Shen Muyu thought, what was incredibly difficult for others was a piece of cake for Xiao A, who managed to collect all the gold coins, whether on the sides or in the middle.
And perhaps because of the rain, the game has added new levels. In one section of the road, machines that can cool the ground have been installed on both sides, causing the rain that has condensed on the road to freeze into ice.
Fortunately, Xiao A "saw" it in advance; otherwise, at its original speed, it might have slid out of bounds.
Along the way, besides gold coins, Shen Muyu also encountered some props, but these props were in very awkward positions, some even on the sharp point of a bend.
However, these things are really useful. For example, the magnet can directly attract the gold coins on both sides of the road for three minutes; the protective shield can generate a sturdy fence on both sides of the log bridge, so even if you walk close to it, it won't be a problem, and it also lasts for three minutes.
However, Shen Muyu preferred the gold coin doubling card, which allowed the gold coins earned during the usage period to be counted twice, making the upward process incredibly satisfying.
They drove smoothly across the log bridge without any obstacles, and Shen Muyu had never even seen what the monster looked like.
Of course, she didn't just sit there blankly in the driver's seat; the bottomless, suspended state on both sides could easily make one feel dizzy.
To ease his discomfort, Shen Muyu ran to the back of the truck and pulled up some corn and potatoes. They were already ripe, and Shen Muyu planned to sell them as soon as they were harvested while the price was high, so he could exchange them for some new resource boxes.
After seeing that the gold coins had reached more than four thousand, Shen Muyu stopped what he was doing and returned to the main seat.
The original intention was to prevent being thrown off when the car suddenly stopped, but when the gold coins reached 4999, it suddenly stopped moving, and the car was even pressed to the spot by an unknown force.
Immediately afterwards, Shen Muyu and his car were transported to a new world he had never seen before.
