Su Shan once again confirmed everyone’s “sticks.”

Now there were only three sticks left that could resist “calamities.”

The “Water Falls Without a Trace” in Qin Dingdong’s hand, the “Spring Warmth and Blooming Flowers” in Lin Qin’s hand, and the “Torrential Rainstorm” in Zhang Chenze’s hand.

By inferring the problems from the answers, she could roughly determine what “calamities” would occur next.

Among the natural disasters that hadn’t appeared yet, only a few remained, so “Water Falls Without a Trace” naturally corresponded to “flood.”

“Spring Warmth and Blooming Flowers” was more worth pondering. Literally speaking, it was very similar to “Blazing Sun Caresses the Earth,” except that “Blazing Sun Caresses the Earth” sounded somewhat hotter.

So the “calamity” it could counter should also be very similar to “cold current.”

From this perspective, it would be nothing more than low-temperature disasters like “blizzard” or “snow disaster.”

Following this logic… the “Torrential Rainstorm” in Zhang Chenze’s hand should correspond to “drought.”

Assuming that the calamities everyone would face in the next three rounds were “flood,” “snow disaster,” and “drought” respectively, then the most dangerous one appeared to be “flood.”

Its effect should be similar to “sandstorm”—it would fill water into a certain “season’s” room. This was a cumulative process, so Earth-Dog might prioritize using it.

Next would be the “snow disaster” corresponding to “Spring Warmth and Blooming Flowers.” It combined both the attributes of suffocation and cold, but unlike drowning, humans being buried by snow wasn’t necessarily fatal.

The safest should be “drought.” Since the attribute of drought was continuous lack of water and high temperature, it would take much longer to kill people. With at most three rounds remaining now, using “drought” to kill people was really rather difficult.

The three “wishing sticks” were in three different people’s hands—this couldn’t be a better situation. Plus, with the “No Idle Fields Under Heaven” she could play at any time in her hand, the “Four Seasons” faction could make a move every round.

At this moment, the “Four Seasons” seemed to have formed an encirclement net, trapping the “Year Beast” tightly in the middle.

“The first person’s ‘wish’ has ended. Now the second person will ‘draw a stick.'”

Seeing that Earth-Dog had no intention of using a “calamity stick,” Zhang Chenze imitated Su Shan and pressed down the “neutral stick” as it floated up.

“The second person’s ‘wish’ has ended. Now the third person will ‘draw a stick.'”

Su Shan slowly furrowed her brow: “You’re still not using it?”

She roughly understood Earth-Dog’s tactics. This round was probably the same as the last round—Earth-Dog would use two “calamities” consecutively at the end of one round and the beginning of another round.

Sure enough, Lin Qin’s turn also passed directly. She also pressed down the “neutral stick” that floated up, treating it as a “wish.”

The sixth round was nearing its end, arriving at Qin Dingdong’s stage.

At this moment, Su Shan was already prepared. She had a premonition that this “calamity” was going to descend upon herself.

“Everyone…” Earth-Dog finally spoke at this moment. “This round’s ‘calamity’ is called ‘flooding.'”

What Su Shan hadn’t expected was that this round, Earth-Dog still didn’t use the “calamity” on her, but instead targeted Qin Dingdong again.

“Damn it, you dead dog, you won’t stop, will you?!” Qin Dingdong shouted loudly. The violent movement made her cough incessantly. While coughing, she shouted, “How many times?! You tell me how many times?! After ‘sandstorm’ and ‘poisonous miasma,’ now it’s ‘flooding’?! Did big sister owe you money? Just fucking rain knives down on me! I don’t want to live anymore!”

Everyone could see Qin Dingdong cursing and pointing at Earth-Dog in the glass room. Although they couldn’t hear what she was cursing, from her lip movements and expression, they knew it definitely wasn’t anything nice.

The next second, water began accumulating in Qin Dingdong’s room.

This accumulation was somewhat different from previous “calamities.” The water wasn’t falling from above, but gushing in from a pipe at the bottom. Judging by the gushing speed, filling the room would only take a few minutes.

Qin Dingdong looked at the “Water Falls Without a Trace” in her hand. Unluckily, it had a left-pointing arrow drawn on it.

Even she had thought that the unlucky one this time would be Su Shan, so she had kept this stick with the left-pointing arrow in her hand, but when a person’s luck turns bad, there’s really nothing to be done.

“I must have been infected by that bastard Chen Junnan…” Qin Dingdong picked up her “Water Falls Without a Trace” and closed her eyes.

If she wanted to survive, she could only use the same old trick.

“What a pity… this ‘stick’… is actually fake too…”

After a moment, Qin Dingdong furrowed her brow.

She discovered that her “subconscious” was out of control. Although she really wanted to believe this “stick” was fake, she couldn’t do it.

How could it be fake?!

Just a few seconds ago, she was still preparing to use this “stick” to save Su Shan. A few seconds later, she was supposed to say it was fake.

Even an “Echo” couldn’t activate under such absurd circumstances.

“Dead dog… can you really not see the ‘sticks’ in our hands?” Qin Dingdong felt that Earth-Dog was standing on a higher level to plan this operation.

He deliberately left Su Shan as a gap—could it be to shake her conviction?

If he could truly accomplish this, this person would be far too terrifying.

“Forget it… it’s just ‘water.'” Qin Dingdong said. “It’ll take a few minutes to fill the room. I can hold my breath for over a minute… with only two rounds left, it’s worth gambling on.”

Qin Dingdong decisively gifted her “Water Falls Without a Trace” to Su Shan. The next tactics would be for her to figure out.

Before Su Shan could “draw a stick,” Earth-Dog’s voice rang out: “The seventh round begins. I’ll act first.”

Earth-Dog’s action was exactly as Su Shan had predicted. He was preparing to maximize the “calamities.” This time, no matter what, it should be her turn.

After all, if she received a “calamity” during her stage, at the earliest, she would have to wait for the next person to save her. If luck was even worse, the “rescue operation” would take a full round.

But the situation once again exceeded everyone’s expectations.

Earth-Dog still didn’t target Su Shan, but instead aimed this round’s “calamity” at Qin Dingdong again.

“This ‘calamity’—is called ‘hail.'”

“Huh?!” Qin Dingdong’s eyes completely widened.

Earth-Dog had used the most straightforward strategy. He no longer cared about any other seasons and was now going all out to kill “winter.”

Since there were no more extra “firecrackers” on the field, as long as he could kill “winter,” Earth-Dog could firmly establish himself in an invincible position.

Just a few seconds later, as the huge mechanism above Qin Dingdong’s head made a sound, countless pieces of broken ice began falling down with a “crackling” sound.

These pieces of ice struck Qin Dingdong’s body, then dropped into the water.

“You even have combo moves yourself, huh?!” Qin Dingdong used both hands to block the top of her head, clearly completely furious. “You used all your fucking ideas on me, didn’t you?!”

Su Shan knew her hand couldn’t save Qin Dingdong at all and hurriedly gifted “Water Falls Without a Trace” to Zhang Chenze.

Zhang Chenze had long been prepared by the table. Seeing the “stick” float up, she also picked it up and placed it into the gifting hole.

Next came Lin Qin’s choice.

She had two “sticks” in her hand: “Spring Warmth and Blooming Flowers” and “Water Falls Without a Trace.”

There were two “calamities” in Qin Dingdong’s room, but Lin Qin could only use one “stick.”
