Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 189 Destruction of the Ancestral Hall

Amidst countless tangled and twisted earthworms, Yu Shijiu looked up at the crevice, her eyes sparkling as if energized by a stimulant.

"I see, so that's how it is..."

Yu Shijiu murmured softly, slowly raising the fire axe that had been bitten in half.

Almost simultaneously, Lin Feng, who had been talking with An Li for a while, suddenly thought of this as well. She abruptly looked up at the crack in the roof and shouted at Yu Shijiu:

"It's light! It's sunlight!"

Candlelight and sunlight... anything that generates high temperatures could kill the earthworm. Although it may seem a bit too simplistic, in reality, before yesterday, sunlight probably wouldn't have been able to harm the "God"... The most important thing is actually time.

Yes, that's right, it lets players find the only way out in the chaos.

Yu Shijiu heard Lin Feng's voice in his ears. He looked at the distance between himself and a certain gap in the ancestral hall, calculated it briefly, and then laughed as he forcefully threw the fire axe in his hand up into the gap.

The half-broken fire axe, carrying a fierce gust of wind, slammed into the tiny crack, causing the earthworms around it to scatter as if startled.

As the rain of earthworms fell, the blinding sunlight outside the ancestral hall gradually eroded the darkness inside.

At the same time, a hissing sound immediately rang in the ears of all the players.

"This is……"

Some players, while dodging the falling earthworms, looked up in shock at the large swarms of earthworms falling overhead, somewhat incredulous.

"Can we go out now?"

Was it really that simple?!

"..."

“No,” Lin Feng had recovered her senses by now. After calming her chaotic emotions, she looked up at the ancestral hall that was gradually crumbling, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

"If we destroy the ancestral hall beforehand, we will only anger the 'gods'."

Anli, who was standing next to her, didn't quite understand and subconsciously asked, "...Why?"

why?

Lin Feng looked at Yu Shijiu's back, who was looking up at the broken roof not far away, and slowly raised her head and squinted at the broken roof that had been cleaved open by the other party.

"Because earthworms are not afraid of sunlight."

As if echoing Lin Feng's words, the "God Lord," who had been constantly tearing at Fei Fei, suddenly let out a miserable scream.

The woman's already shrill voice carried even further during her screams, and as the scorching sunlight fell on the "God's" massive body, it shrank in size within a few seconds.

Fatty's eerie green pupils suddenly snapped upwards, and it quickly dug into the "God's" eye. As mucus and blood spurted out, Fatty jumped back several steps.

Meow! ! !

So dirty, so dirty, so dirty, so dirty, so dirty, meow!!!

The players who had been standing there stunned finally reacted and ran past the "God" whose eyes had been gouged out, crashing hard into the "shrine gate" that was beginning to loosen.

The earthworms that formed the gate of the ancestral hall were already listless from the sunlight. Under the force of the players' vigorous ramming, they could only barely open their mouths in an attempt to scare the other side away.

Unfortunately, at this moment, they were almost at the point of exhaustion, and posed no threat whatsoever to the players who were now seeing the game over.

boom!

Amidst the players' roars, the seemingly impenetrable earthworm gate was smashed open by their combined efforts.

"Hiss, hiss -"

The screams of the earthworms, shone directly in the bright light, mingled with the chanting of "God," creating an unbearable, chaotic cacophony.

More sunlight streamed into the ancestral hall, drying out the earthworms that had tried to prevent the players from escaping. Some of the smaller ones were even dried into a dry, brittle earthworm.

The players who escaped the shrine basked in the sunlight, and unlike the earthworms who seemed to be suffering from extreme heat and pain, they thoroughly enjoyed the rare warmth.

The sun was warm and bright, completely different from yesterday's continuous rain.

Just being shone like that seems to make me feel much more comfortable.

"What are you all standing there for?!"

Anli's urging voice rang out behind the players. She gasped for breath and shouted:

"Hurry up and get to the village entrance!"

The players stood there stunned. Some didn't immediately recall what it was and instinctively asked:

Why go to the village entrance?

Anli's eyes were red at this moment, a belated physiological fear. She gagged and suppressed the churning in her stomach.

"Have you all forgotten what the driver said before he left?"

How do players with such poor skills survive?

Anli was almost in despair.

She thought she was slow-witted enough, but she never expected there to be someone even slower-witted than her.

As it turns out, there will always be people in the world who are dumber than you.

Those players who hadn't reacted yet remembered what the bus driver had said before leaving. Their expressions changed abruptly, and they couldn't care less about enjoying the rare sunbathing. They all took off running towards the village entrance.

In just a few seconds, only Anli remained in front of the collapsing and crumbling "shrine"... along with two other players who hadn't come out yet... and a big orange cat.

Anli wanted to go back and urge them, but was forced back by the large number of earthworms that had fallen in front of the ancestral hall.

After weighing the pros and cons, Anli gritted her teeth and ran towards the village entrance, looking back every few steps.

She had to go to the village entrance to keep the driver calm and prevent some players from making the driver leave prematurely out of fear.

If the driver starts driving early...

Anli's shoulders twitched.

Then Yu Shijiu and Lin Feng will likely be unable to leave.

----------

The interior of the ancestral hall.

The ceiling of the entire ancestral hall was almost dried out by the sun, turning into dried earthworms. Countless dried earthworms, having lost their moisture, fell from the sky, only staying on Yu Shijiu and Lin Feng for a moment before rolling to the ground.

On the ground, the earthworms that had turned into a "carpet" scurried away frantically, burrowing headfirst into the various holes that had been exposed in the ground, completely oblivious to the two living people standing beside them.

The "God" was still screaming and struggling in the same spot.

Because its eyes were gouged out by Fatty's sneak attack, it couldn't find the hole it had crawled out of at all, and could only curl up its shrunken body and wriggle into the shadows.

Driven by their biological instinct for survival, the earthworms that made up the tiles and walls of the "ancestral hall" fell frantically, and it was only a matter of time before the "god" was turned into dried earthworms by the strong light.

"Meow!"

Feifei walked over to Yu Shijiu and squatted down, nuzzling his waist with its head and meowing.

Yu Shijiu casually patted its head, not caring about the blood and slime on its fur.

"Well done."

The boy's pale, blood-stained face dripped blood beads in the sunlight, but his almond-shaped eyes curved into a smile, and he was very happy.

"You're amazing!"
