Yan Qingwen remained silent for a while, then let out a light smile.

“Yes.” He nodded, “This is only the second round. Only after autumn passes can we truly clear the game.”

Li Li encouraged everyone: “We made it through summer despite its difficulty, why fear autumn!”

Lun Ang also nodded in agreement: “Even if the third round is difficult, but we’ve experienced spring and summer, we should be able to deal with autumn. I believe we won’t be clueless.”

The Crystal Ball sat quietly on the Eight Immortals cabinet, watching them discuss their next strategies.

Shen Mo walked over, turned the winding box on the music box, and a familiar nursery rhyme floated around the room with the music:

The Spring Bear is awake,

It’s really worried about losing two children;

Summer rain is so heavy,

It’s pitch-black, and the treasure can’t be seen;

Who comes in the fall?

Look, isn’t there a tooth in the wide-open mouth of the Nail Tooth Monster?

Winter, winter finally comes

Who will see the snowflake?

Shen Mo leaned against the window, and the half-open window vaguely reflected guests outside, “Just as expected, it’s the Nail Tooth Monster  Who comes in the fall? Look, isn’t there a tooth in the wide-open mouth of the Nail Tooth Monster? Just as the nursery rhyme says.”

Everyone quickly moved to the window, curious to see what the guest outside looked like.

The window and the door were in a parallel line, and the doorposts and coverings on the sides of the door made it impossible to see directly through the window, leaving them to rely on the reflection on the glass window to increase their visual range.

The guest of autumn, in terms of size, was not as big as the bear or the anglerfish.

It looked like a walking shark, just without fins and a tail, with glossy gray skin, strong lower limbs, slender claws, plus an extremely large head—

It stood at the door with its mouth wide open, and only about seven or eight pointed teeth could be seen.

The teeth looked like nails.

Shen Mo looked at the rest of them, “For this round, it seems our task is to find nails.”

Yan Qingwen observed the reflection carefully on the window glass and slowly nodded, “And  it looks like we’re going to find quite a few nails.”

Scarred from the last round, Li Li looked at the two leaders uncertainly, “Are you confident? Is it really just to find nails? What if it’s something else?”

He turned his head to ask Bai Youwei, “Do you also think it’s nails?”

Bai Youwei glanced at him expressionlessly, “No matter what it is, the one-minute rampage in the first round is unavoidable.”

Whether it’s the bear or the anglerfish, without real contact, it’s hard to find out what they really need based only on the clues from the nursery rhyme.

Hearing this, Su Man next to him nervously tugged at her dress.

She’s sick to death of this game, because dressing like this was affecting her performance. However, if she didn’t dress like this, she’d be attacked by the guests.

Zhu Shu asked, “If it’s nails, how many do we need to find?”

“Its mouth was wide open ” Yan Qingwen squinted his eyes a bit, “Just by looking at it, there should be about 26 upper teeth, 24 lower teeth. Minus the six nails in its mouth, we’re left with 44.”

Bai Youwei shook her head gently, “The game can’t be that simple, it’s possible that there are double or multiple layers of teeth.”

Shen Mo pulled his gaze back, looking at the facilities in the room, “If it’s double-layered teeth, then it’s 100 nails, triple-layered, 150 nails, four layers, 200 nails  In other words, the more nails we find, the better.”

Li Li’s scalp tingled hearing these numbers.

“Isn’t this a bit outrageous? We’ve turned over every corner of this room, and apart from the dozen or so nails in the storage room, there are none at all!”

Tan Xiao patted him on the shoulder with one hand, tapped his chest with the other hand and said seriously, “You need to look carefully! As it is said, nothing is too difficult if you put your heart into it! We must keep at it until death!”

Li Li snapped, “It’s supposed to be ‘stick to it until the end’!”

Who the hell wants to keep at it with you until death! Get lost!!!
