Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 721 Swallow

The deathly silence around her made He Lingling tremble. She repeated it again in disbelief:

"Did he...drink it?"

"..."

Sun Qin closed her eyes reluctantly: "No...no..."

boom!

For the first time, He Lingling showed a blank expression. She instantly lost all strength and collapsed onto Sun Qin, muttering to herself:

"I didn't drink... I didn't drink... How can Shi Jiu stay rational if she didn't drink... How can she resist so many fans around her if she doesn't stay rational..."

So much wool, so much wool flying around on the deck...

They hadn't even tried to avoid touching the wool yet, but Yu Shijiu, who was constantly confronting the giant sheep head-on, had no chance of resisting...

In that instant, He Lingling felt despair.

Clearly… Anjie clearly said—

On the deck, as the human who had cut off his head countless times drew closer and closer, the expression on the giant sheep's face gradually became more and more familiar.

Its face transformed back into Akin's face.

"Ah Jin" watched the boy walk towards him step by step, and his honest, deep voice rang out:

"Come, come, I'll take you away from this ship, believe me... We all have families and children, don't we?"

Yu Shijiu dragged his axe forward, his consciousness growing increasingly hazy amidst the eerie white wool. Just then, Xiao Li's voice suddenly rang in his ears:

I suggest you step back and don't continue forward.

【why? 】

If you go any further, you'll die!

Xiao Li said irritably, "[So annoying, it's so useless to die so early.]"

【……Yeah?】

Yu Shijiu murmured as he closed his eyes. His body and head began to grow thick wool at an eerie speed, and the giant sheep's hooves above his head were getting closer and closer.

Xiao Li was starting to lose interest in watching. Although Yu Shijiu was always trying to trick her, things had been going relatively well for the time being.

"I got it!"

Xu Han and Brother Zhu scrambled in through the cabin door, yelling as they ran toward He Lingling and the others!

"All of them! All the remains! We've got all the remains!!!"

He Lingling sat bolt upright. "Throw them away! Throw all the bones into the sea! Quick! Quick! There's still time! There are still twenty seconds left!!!"

Xu Han and Brother Zhu stopped abruptly, carrying the remains towards the railing without looking back—Xu Han didn't dare turn around; he couldn't bear to see Yu Shijiu's current condition.

No, no, no, no...

Gritting his teeth, Xu Han carried the goat's carcass all the way to the railing and threw it into the sea. Zhu Ge next to him did the same.

Thump—thump—thump—

The sound of bones falling into the sea reached everyone's ears. After all the bones had completely fallen into the sea, the game system's notification sound and the giant sheep's painful roar rang out at the same time.

【Ding】

[Congratulations to all players who have cleared the game dungeon "Sheep Sacrifice"].

[There are currently 6 players remaining alive in the game instance]

[Two minutes remaining before leaving the instance "Sheep Sacrifice"... Players are free to move around during the remaining time.]

time left?

Is there any time left?

Xu Han, who was leaning against the railing, panting heavily and almost gagging, turned around and stared blankly at the spot where Yu Shijiu was—

In the center of the tattered and dilapidated deck, the giant ram's enormous mouth stood frozen in place, and the wool that swirled around it was also suspended in mid-air, motionless.

But the sight of that half-swallowed figure made Xu Han's legs go weak, rendering him completely unable to move...

"Shi, Shi Jiu..."

Xu Han's limp legs dangled on the ground, and he tried to move forward.

At the same time, Lu Chusheng, finally free from the ram-headed men's obstruction, roared and swiftly smashed through the stiff ram-headed men around him, rushing towards Yu Shijiu, who had been swallowed by the giant sheep.

No, not possible!

Lu Chusheng's heart was pounding. He rushed toward Yu Shijiu in shock and fear, his whole heart trembling.

How could Yu Shijiu possibly be dead? How could Yu Shijiu possibly be dead...? How could it be—

Click.

Click click click click—

Countless tiny, grayish-white fragments fell from the giant sheep's mouth, crunching and dropping to the ground along Yu Shijiu's body, which had been half-swallowed.

Lu Chusheng's four legs, which were running wildly forward, suddenly stopped in place.

These fragments, these fragments are...

The current item "Egg Pupae" is 2/3 used, and the remaining usage time is 14:59.

Xiao Li took a deep breath and said through gritted teeth (if it had any):

[You're insane! If Xu Han had arrived even a fraction of a second later, you would really be dead!!!]

"..."

The boy who was being scolded didn't respond. He just slowly squatted down, supporting the giant sheep's frozen face, and slowly crawled out of the giant sheep's mouth, holding the axe.

The boy who emerged from the giant sheep's mouth was covered in blood, his face and body mixed with the blood from the strange NPC's blood and the blood from the hole in his own shoulder blade. The pungent smell of blood made Xu Han, who was crawling closer, turn his head and gag several times.

"Ugh... ugh—ugh!"

In the corner, He Lingling, her face deathly pale, gripped Sun Qin's fingers tightly and trembled as she said:

"Alive, alive... Is he, Shi Jiu, still alive?"

Six people...only six survived! Six people! Just now there were seven alive...and Yu Shijiu didn't drink the goat's milk, could it be...could it be that Yu Shijiu is really, really, dead—

"Huh! Huh! Huh!" Realizing what had happened, Sun Qin excitedly grabbed He Lingling's hand and exclaimed:

"Alive! Yu Shijiu is alive! He's alive! He's alive and well!"

"..."

He Lingling lost her balance and fell backward, but Sun Qin caught her quickly.

"Living... living... it's good that you're alive, it's good that you're alive..."

He Lingling murmured to herself, her eyes stinging and tears welling up.

God knows how scared, how terrified, how horrified she was just now... how horrified she was of returning to town alive only to learn of Yu Shijiu's "death"...

How could Yu Shijiu be dead? How could Yu Shijiu possibly be dead?

Yu Shijiu won't die... at least not now, he can't possibly die.

He Lingling took a deep breath, straightened up with Sun Qin's help, and whispered:

"Please help me up. Let's go to Shi Jiu's place."

"what?"

Sun Qin was taken aback. "Go to Yu Shijiu's place?"

He Lingling nodded, and just as she was about to say something, she was interrupted by Shi Yuan, who slowly stood up from the corner.

"Don't go."

Shi Yuan patted off imaginary dust, his gaze complex as he looked at the boy who staggered backward and was caught by the orange cat, then at Xu Han, who was retching on the deck...

Feeling that Shi Yuan's style was rather peculiar, he hesitated for a moment, then calmly said according to his own thoughts:

“I think they seem to be neglecting you a bit right now.”
