There is One New Rule Every Month Globally

Chapter 60 One minute on stage takes ten years of practice off stage.

```

"Ding, all players have arrived at the first stage activation point."

"Please proceed to the second activation point within 10 minutes."

"Let's go."

Chen Yi, with one hand in his pocket and leaning on a cane, stood still and looked nonchalantly at Jiaye on Tie Chui's shoulder.

"Ah?... Oh, yeah, sure."

Jiaye, who hadn't reacted at first, felt his ears turn slightly red as he stammered an uncertain response, eyes flitting about.

When Chen Yi and the others were all standing at the activation point,

"Bang!"

A sound, not too loud or soft, like a muffled fart, exploded in the space, and instantly the darkness that filled the space retreated, and light from an unknown source illuminated the entire area.

Chen Yi absorbed every detail of his surroundings.

The activation point they were standing on was a cylinder about one meter high from the ground, capable of accommodating about a dozen people simultaneously.

The cylinder was covered in patterns, lending it a mysterious aura.

The entire space was about the size of four football fields put together in a 2x2 arrangement.

While they stood upon this cylinder,

the dried corpses below suddenly stopped in their tracks, turned their heads in unison towards Chen Yi and his group, their eyes beginning to glow red.

The next second—

without any hesitation, the dried corpses charged towards Chen Yi and the others!

At the same time!

The light in the entire space vanished in an instant, and darkness once again enveloped the land. In the moment before darkness fell, their last glimpse was of the dried corpses rushing towards them.

Darkness had returned.

No sound was heard, no dried corpses were seen.

But everyone knew in their hearts that a horde of dried corpses was racing towards them in the darkness.

And this time, these dried corpses didn't seem to follow any fixed trajectory; instead, their target was much clearer—their target... was them!

The visibility of their vision was once again restricted to just one meter.

Accompanying this change, the cylinder beneath their feet began to tremble slightly.

Soon after—

a passage built entirely of stone bricks rose slowly from the ground, appearing before their eyes, with an entrance right in front of them, flush with the surface of the cylinder.

The entire passage inclined upwards.

According to the direction of the second activation point on the map, the meaning was clear.

And looking at the location of the second Activation Point on the map, there was still a long way to go in this passageway; continuing to run was not an option, they would be caught sooner or later.

They had to stop and deal with these Dried Corpses before doing anything else.

At this time, Chen Yi suddenly halted and looked at a red control lever on the wall of the passageway ahead.

There was also a small screen next to it.

'Activate this control lever to lower a stone wall behind you, which can block the Dried Corpses for 10 seconds.'

"Is that so?"

Chen Yi nodded thoughtfully, grabbed the control lever with one hand, and pulled it down forcefully.

Immediately—

A stone wall fell behind them in the passageway, blocking the Dried Corpses' path.

He didn't say much but continued to lead the way forward. In fact, if he wanted to get through this passage quickly, he had many ways to do it.

For example, have Jiaye use their combo to easily carry them out.

Or use a mirror.

And so on.

He just wanted to understand more about the rules of this map.

It wasn't long before the stone wall retracted, and that group of Dried Corpses continued their relentless chase, seemingly moving even faster.

After just one hundred meters.

Chen Yi found three small, glowing objects on the floor of the passage.

Only upon approaching did he realize they were several grenades.

'Prop Name: Dried Corpse Grenade'

'Prop Level: None.'

'Prop Effect: Can cause high damage to Dried Corpses or other monsters, but can't harm players.'

'Prop Restriction: Can't be taken out of the map, only usable within the Sands of Time Map.'

'PS: For every Dried Corpse killed, you will receive 1 Sands of Time Point. After clearing the map, Sands of Time Points can be exchanged for rewards in the shop.'

And at this time—

The Dried Corpses behind them were now less than five meters away.

Chen Yi picked up a grenade, weighed it in his hand, pulled out the pin, and threw it at the feet of the group of Dried Corpses deep in the passageway.

The next second—

"Boom!!!"

A tremendous explosion rang out suddenly deep within the passage!

Under Tuberculosis Rabbit's illumination, those Dried Corpses were visibly blown to pieces by the massive shockwave, turning into flesh that scattered on the steps of the passage and slowly got absorbed into it.

A series of rapid kill notifications kept sounding urgently next to Chen Yi's ear.
