Chapter 8

According to the clues obtained by Liu Yating, Marie was hiding in Jam Mountain, trying to avoid the Mouse King’s kiss so he wouldn’t turn back into a prince.

Liu Yating took out the map and pointed to the spot at the very back: “Jam Mountain is here, and we’re at the very front, on Pastry Street.”

To help players know their location, everyone receives a map as soon as they enter the instance.

I opened the map. If we wanted to reach Jam Mountain, the fastest way would be to pass through the central Street Garden and Flower Market, which would take us directly to our destination.

However, these two places-one being open and hard to hide in, the other crowded with flower shops and full of fresh flowers-would easily conceal the shapes and scents of monsters, making it very disadvantageous for players.

Clearly, Ye Tiancheng had also thought of this. He looked at the map, then finally pointed to a small path and asked You Zile, who was next to Liu Yating, “Have you been here before?”

You Zile was Xu Ling’s boyfriend, and the path Ye Tiancheng was referring to was the place where they had found the Eggbeater yesterday.

Because of what happened last night-how we didn’t save him-You Zile was very hostile toward us and spoke rudely: “So what if I’ve been there? There are a lot of monsters inside. If you’re not afraid, go by yourselves. I don’t want to go and get myself killed.”

Seeing this, I quickly grabbed Bai Cancan’s hand, afraid that she’d get angry and go up to slap him twice.

Unexpectedly, Bai Cancan showed a sweet smile: “That’s true, it’s too scary there. Let’s not go that way.”

Ye Tiancheng didn’t say anything either and continued to discuss other routes with Liu Yating.

In the end, we thought the small path was still a better choice. Even though we hadn’t been inside, at least we were familiar with the terrain nearby.

There were three of us on our side, plus four from Liu Yating’s group, making a total of seven people preparing to take the small path.

Of the remaining six, a pair of siblings joined us, while the other four chose to act separately.

In an instance where your life is at stake, no one interferes with anyone else’s choices.
