Bai Ye did not just watch the fun the entire time. After glancing at those people, he got up and prepared to leave.
Bai Ye did want the Joker card, but that didn't mean he wouldn't do his job if he didn't get one. To put it another way, what if he never drew the Joker card? Would he stop doing the forbidden zone missions?
Therefore, regardless of the person card, the work still needed to be done.
Bai Ye quickly reached the door, peeked outside, and then rapidly left the circus tent.
Bai Ye trotted along until he stopped in front of a dilapidated signpost.
"Haunted House, Haunted House, Haunted House..."
Bai Ye looked at the signpost and quickly determined the direction of the haunted house.
Forbidden Zone Mission 2: Find the murderer from the haunted house murder incident of that year!
Since the incident back then all pointed to the haunted house, the haunted house was naturally the key to completing the forbidden zone mission!
After confirming the direction of the haunted house, Bai Ye started to trot again, but...
Things suddenly started to go wrong.
Bai Ye looked up at his surroundings. Black and gray mist had drifted around him, making the area hazy, quiet, and a little...
Deathly still!
Bai Ye licked his lips, knowing that the supervisor had caught up.
As expected, just as Bai Ye was thinking, a tall figure emerged from the front.
The person was wearing a yellow robe, a large and tattered hood, and their face was covered by a ball of red mist, making it impossible to see their features, only vaguely glimpsing blood-red pupils. Behind them was a large wooden frame, on which several pieces of broken bone were hanging by ropes. As the figure moved, the broken bones jiggled, clacking against each other with a crisp sound.
Even more bizarre was the lower half of their body. Beneath the wide yellow robe, their feet were nowhere to be seen. Instead, several thick tentacles, like those of an octopus, emerged from within the robe, wriggling on the ground, causing the figure to move slowly and advance towards Bai Ye.
"Supervisor..." Bai Ye wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "The Lord of the Yellow Robe!"
The supervisor was no longer the Deer Head, or rather, it wasn't just the Deer Head!
Three hours had not yet passed; it was not time for more supervisors to appear.
This meant that the injury Bai Ye had inflicted on the Deer Head's arm had severely wounded it, significantly reducing its combat ability. Thus, a second supervisor had appeared.
"Couldn't you have chosen someone else?" Bai Ye spat on the ground and cursed, "This guy is a bit tricky!"
Bai Ye had obtained a spiritual body in the Death Amusement Park in his previous life and had fought many supervisors. The Lord of the Yellow Robe had left a deep impression on him, and he was clearly much stronger than the Deer Head.
Bai Ye quickly surveyed his surroundings. With the Lord of the Yellow Robe blocking his path, if he couldn't break through head-on, he would have to go around from the side.
Bai Ye's mind began to race, but the Lord of the Yellow Robe did not give him much time to think.
Suddenly...
*Crack!*
The ground in front of Bai Ye suddenly shattered, and then a giant tentacle shot out from the crack, slamming down forcefully towards Bai Ye.
Bai Ye instantly snapped back to reality and immediately leaped to the side.
*Bang!*
The tentacle hit the ground, and after a loud noise, it pulverized the ground, creating a large web of cracks.
The Lord of the Yellow Robe shifted its body. As it looked at Bai Ye again, purple illusions began to coil around its hand, and then it fiercely swung forward.
Bai Ye heard the sound of the ground cracking again, but this time, the Lord of the Yellow Robe's attack was not from the front.
It was from...
Behind!
Bai Ye reacted quickly, bending down and pulling himself to the side. Even so, Bai Ye was startled. The tentacle struck with incredible speed, grazing past him as it landed, smashing the ground, and the flying debris even hit Bai Ye.
After landing, Bai Ye quickly turned around...
Of the thirty-six stratagems, fleeing was the best.
After just two brief exchanges, Bai Ye decisively chose to run.
Putting aside other factors, the Lord of the Yellow Robe's attack methods were far superior to the Deer Head's. The tentacles could attack from completely different directions. Furthermore, although drilling from the ground required a brief preparatory period, it was much shorter than the Deer Head's grappling hook throw.
Of course, the most important thing was that there was no benefit to delaying with the Lord of the Yellow Robe. Bai Ye's goal was to reach the haunted house, and fighting would not help him achieve that objective.
As Bai Ye ran forward, he looked around.
Come on, a few fearless souls, help distract it!
The participants in this round are really useless. Why are they all so cowardly, hiding in their rooms?
Just as Bai Ye was thinking, the ground in front of him shattered again. Three consecutive tentacles emerged from Bai Ye's front, forming a wall to block his path, and simultaneously swung down to strike him.
"Thorn Blade!"
Bai Ye immediately held his Dragon's Roar horizontally, and then five energy beams shot out, transforming into energy blades.
The next moment, Bai Ye leaped forward and swept his weapon forcefully.
The energy blades were incredibly sharp. As they swept forward, with three *poof* sounds, the three tentacles were effortlessly severed.
Bai Ye followed suit, crossing over the severed tentacles, intending to continue running forward.
But at this moment, a purple glow suddenly appeared on the Lord of the Yellow Robe, and then its figure flickered. It instantly moved to the location of the tentacles, grabbed Bai Ye's shoulder, and forcefully pulled him backward.
With a *clang*, Bai Ye crashed into a row of rusty iron railings, shattering them.
The Lord of the Yellow Robe turned around. The ground in front of Bai Ye cracked again, a tentacle rose, and slammed down towards Bai Ye.
"Hexagonal Prism Shield!"
*Bang!*
Bai Ye raised his arm, and the Hexagonal Prism Shield quickly appeared, blocking the attack for him. Then, Bai Ye swept his Dragon's Roar forward, cutting off that tentacle again.
"Frostfall, Ice Wall!"
The Frostfall sword also flew over at this time. After landing beside Bai Ye, a large expanse of silvery-white frost appeared, lifting Bai Ye up.
The Lord of the Yellow Robe swung its arm again, and new tentacles reappeared.
*Bang, bang, bang...*
The tentacles continuously struck the ice wall, trying to shatter it. However, Bai Ye had already leaped to the other side of the ice wall. He looked up and saw a large sign that read: Cosmic Spaceship.
Bai Ye quickly ran into the building and saw a track. It turned out to be a roller coaster.
As Bai Ye entered the building, the Lord of the Yellow Robe immediately quieted down. The surrounding tentacles also vanished without a trace. It slowly turned around and began to wander in the mist again, quickly disappearing from sight.
