Maybe Zhao Xiaojian...no...it's not Zhao Xiaojian. That monster is now sniffing his breath and floating towards the huge rock.

Zhou Fan's heart was beating rapidly, and he could hear his heartbeat. The more this happened, the more scared he became. He was not sure whether the monster could hear his heartbeat.

But his heartbeat was not something he could control, his body was stiff and motionless.

After a while, he didn't hear Zhao Xiaojian calling him.

He looked out the rock carefully.

Zhao Xiaojian is no longer here.

Zhou Fan was stunned, but he quickly got off the boulder and ran wildly towards the forest he remembered.

He just wanted to leave this terrible place. This weird game of eating people made him frightened. He didn't want to be eaten by that strange shadow.

The forest was still silent, and he could only hear his own breathing.

As he ran, something suddenly rushed over and threw him to the ground.

Zhou Fan struggled desperately and wanted to scream, but his mouth was covered.

His eyes returned to normal from shaking, and it was Yang Xinmeng who threw him down.

"If you don't want to die, don't yell loudly." Yang Xinmeng, who was quiet and shy in his memory, shouted in a low voice with a cold face.

Zhou Fan whined and blinked and said that he understood.

Yang Xinmeng slowly let go of her hand.

"Xin Meng, Liu Xin...Liu Xin..." Zhou Fan stuttered, his teeth trembling.

"Is it right?" Yang Xinmeng acted calmly, and she was not surprised at all.

Zhou Fan stared at the sight, wondering how Yang Xinmeng knew?

Yang Xinmeng looked at Zhou Fan and frowned slightly: "Are you scared before you came in? Do you even know what we are doing?"

Zhou Fan said cowardly: "Why is this happening?"

Didn’t you come in to play hide-and-seek? Why did Zhao Xiaojian suddenly become a man-eating monster and want to find them to eat it?

"Come with me." Yang Xinmeng did not answer. She looked around vigilantly. After confirming that she did not find it, she moved slowly to the right.

Zhou Fan followed her and couldn't help but whisper: "We will be caught up with us when we walk so slowly."

Yang Xinmeng turned around and looked at Zhou Fan coldly: "You idiot, if you ran around as loudly as you did just now, you would attract ghosts. The ghost's ears are even more powerful than your eyes."

Zhou Fan shivered all over, and then he understood why Yang Xinmeng had just thrown him down. If he ran around like him, it might really attract Zhao Xiaojian.

"Thank you." Zhou Fan thanked Yang Xinmeng.

Yang Xinmeng was silent for a moment and walked in front without looking back, saying, "Do you think I want to save you? I'm afraid you will attract ghosts to me."

Zhou Fan was stunned, but he felt that if this was the case, Yang Xinmeng could have avoided far away without stopping him.

The two moved carefully between the quiet jungle, often under the shadow of shrubs or tall grass.

"Let's leave the forest quickly. Zhao Xiaojian is already crazy." Zhou Fan couldn't help but whisper when he saw that Yang Xinmeng was not going outward, but going inside.

"Shut up." Yang Xinmeng looked outside with her eyes, and she said coldly, "Where do you think this is? This is a hidden forest. You can't get out after entering. No matter which direction you go."

"What we have to do is hide and not let ghosts find them. If ghosts find them, they will die."

Zhou Fan's memories came back a little. He remembered that Yang Xinmeng did not lie to him. This was a hidden forest. When he came in, he could not go out by himself. But he vaguely remembered that it was not impossible to go out, "Then how can we go out?"

Thinking that Zhao Xiaojian, who was moving quickly, was wandering around looking for them, he felt chilling.

"Only one of ten of us can survive this game." Yang Xinmeng said calmly.

"After half a stick of incense, if Zhao Xiaojian cannot find all of us, he will be eaten by the ghost. The survivors must return to the Shenmu and start the next round of hide-and-seek until the last one is left. Moreover, the ghosts do not allow people who hide to kill each other. Once the rules are violated, they will be killed."

"Only if the last person left in hide-and-seek will be sent out of the hide-and-seek forest."

Zhou Fan's face turned pale, and his memory of resurrection told him that all this was true.

"Why? Why do we do this?"

"Why?" Yang Xinmeng looked back at Zhou Fan, "Because this is our life, Mixiu Village has to send ten children every ten years to sacrifice to Mixiu Forest. Only in this way can Mixiu Village survive and we were selected."

Yang Xinmeng didn't say much to Zhou Fan anymore, and she told Zhou Fan everything she should say.

Zhou Fan followed Yang Xinmeng's back silently and moved forward slowly. He was just a child, but he suddenly understood a lot of things. Why did the ten children entering the forest have such a cold relationship.

Because only one of them can survive, the gap between them cannot be compensated, and everyone wants to survive is themselves.

If the ghosts hadn't allowed them to kill each other, they would have probably already started fighting.

There is only one who can survive, so why does Yang Xinmeng save him?

Just being kind?

Zhou Fan remembers that his relationship with Yang Xinmeng in the village was not very good. Why was he saving him?

If it is malicious, then...

When Zhou Fan thought of this, his pupils suddenly shrank because Zhao Xiaojian, who had become a ghost.

When the two of them are together, if Zhao Xiaojian finds them, they will eat one, and the other may be able to escape.

Zhou Fan stopped. Not to mention that Yang Xinmeng’s relationship with him was not good, even if the relationship was good, he couldn’t believe it.

Yang Xinmeng kept paying attention to her. When she heard that there was no movement behind her, she turned around and looked at Zhou Fan, with a calm expression on her face: "Do you know why I saved you?"

"You saved me to use me as a shield?" Zhou Fan asked with caution.

"It can be said that, but I can't do anything to you. Even if I dig a trap to trap you, I will be considered as breaking the rules by the hidden forest. Only by stopping you and saving you like I did just now will it not be considered a violation of the rules." Yang Xinmeng explained.

"If you remember, you know what I said is true, so not only can I use you as a shield, but you can also use me as a shield. If the ghost finds us two, it depends on who runs faster or who has better luck."

Zhou Fan frowned silently, and Yang Xinmeng did not lie.

"Of course, since you have discovered it, if you don't want to, you can choose to stay away from me and find another place to hide." Yang Xinmeng shrugged without hesitation and turned around and continued to move forward.

Zhou Fan hesitated for a moment, but continued to follow him. He asked, "Are you so confident that you can run faster than me?"
