Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 184: Exchanging Backs?

As An Li's shrill shout rang out, Yu Shijiu subconsciously turned around and met the gaze of the earthworm-like human head that was wriggling out from behind the memorial tablet.

The earthworm with the human head that had only crawled halfway through its body had now almost completely emerged. Below the thick, transparent ligament, the ring-shaped segments twisted and curled up little by little, forming a strange posture. Only the tip of its tail was still stuck in the hole.

Yu Shijiu blinked in surprise, his gaze lingering on the human-headed earthworm for several seconds before he excitedly waved at it.

"You're almost out! Keep going!"

As she spoke, Yu Shijiu slightly turned her head and, without turning her head, directly chopped backward with her backhand. Accompanied by the eerie old man's painful scream, another humanoid body, split in two, instantly fell to both sides.

Human-headed earthworm: "..."

Its tail tip paused silently for a moment as it crawled outwards, before it accelerated and continued crawling backwards.

Is this human out of their mind?

The not-so-bright brain of the human-headed earthworm thought this.

An Li, who was constantly worried that Yu Shijiu would be attacked by the strange old men: "..."

She was unsure how to describe what she had witnessed, and could only awkwardly turn her head to look at Huang Hao to the side.

"Are you ok?"

Anli asked casually, not very sincerely.

"...Waaah, I'm not feeling well..."

Thinking that he was now unable to move and had offended Yu Shijiu, such a powerful killer, Huang Hao burst into tears.

He stared at Anli with tears streaming down his face, unable to hold back his snot and tears, looking extremely disheveled and...and ugly.

Anli: "..."

She suddenly felt disgusted with her own idea of ​​casually talking to people.

I shouldn't have chatted with Huang Hao casually to ease the awkwardness; otherwise, Huang Hao's emotions wouldn't have collapsed so quickly.

Anli pretended not to see and quickly turned around—

Huh? Turn around?!

Anli then realized that she could move again, and was overjoyed. She looked down at her stiff body, which had been standing for too long.

Seeing that Anli could move, the other players also immediately looked down, belatedly realizing that they could move as well.

In an instant, ecstasy filled the chaotic ancestral hall.

At the same time, the earthworm with the human head behind the memorial tablet finally emerged completely from the hole. Its huge body crushed the memorial tablets made of earthworm bodies and crawled toward Yu Shijiu, who was hacking at the strange old man.

Yu Shijiu is currently surrounded by countless strange old men whose regeneration speed has suddenly accelerated, and he is finding it difficult to break free.

Anli's expression changed instantly, and she shouted urgently:

"Quick, quick! Use the props if you have them, let's hold them off for a bit—"

Huang Hao, sweating profusely, interrupted her, trembling as he asked, "Can we really stop it?"

Such a large earthworm is clearly the core boss of the "Longevity Village" game instance... Can they really stop it even a little bit?

Anli, enraged, slapped him again and roared:

"We have to do it, even if we can't! Can we just watch him die?!"

Huang Hao, whose head had been turned to the side after being shaken: "..."

The other players who were also hesitating: "..."

They silently pulled out their most treasured props, trying to stop the human-headed earthworm from attacking Yu Shijiu.

Anli may have good intentions... but that's how you hit someone, and she doesn't even have a reason to fight back...

Yu Shijiu, who had just chopped down three monsters with an axe, turned around and saw several players blocking his back, gritting their teeth and preparing to use items.

"?"

He was stunned for a second, then remembered what he had just heard and glanced at Anli not far away.

"okay."

Just as all the players were about to take a gamble, a lazy voice came from behind them.

"You can't beat it."

Players who were already prepared for a do-or-die battle: "..."

"Get out of the way," Yu Shijiu said, having briefly dealt with the strange old man surrounding him, as he walked behind the players.

"It's mine."

Players: "..."

Human-headed earthworm: "..."

This sentence sounds a bit strange.

What do you mean, "It's mine"?

But since Yu Shijiu said that, the players who were not very willing to stand in front of him immediately scattered.

Putting everything else aside, the strong smell of blood on Yu Shijiu made them hesitant to get too close.

"Why are you running?" Yu Shijiu stared at the players retreating to the side, speechless and looking at them like they were idiots, and asked incredulously:

"Aren't you going to take care of these crazy grandparents, brothers, and sisters in the back?"

Other players attempting to escape: "..."

Their lips twitched as they turned their heads, taking their props and heading to "manage" those so-called "grandparents, brothers, and sisters."

This includes Huang Hao, who was so scared that he kept trembling.

Huang Hao, his face swollen from being slapped, was on the verge of tears when he pulled out a prop and trembled as he tried to stop a "grandfather brother" who was only half a head and half a body. His voice was shaking.

"Don't, don't move!"

The old man stopped moving.

……

This happened to many players. For a moment, there were twenty strange old men facing nineteen players... Yang Wan, who was left out, was dragged along by An Li and another male player with a lot of items, and they actually managed to keep those strange old men in the same place, unable to move.

Aside from being a bit tiring and smelling a bit unpleasant, there weren't any major problems.

With no worries about anything else, Yu Shijiu, carrying the fire axe, was finally able to fight his "beloved" "it" alone.

The earthworm-headed creature, which had just been shaken by a certain remark, also looked over. Its beautiful, empty eyes stared blankly at the boy in front of it, while its lips, which should have been small and delicate, resembled the terrifying mouthparts of an earthworm.

With its enormous mouth open, it wriggled rapidly toward Yu Shijiu under his watchful gaze.

What greeted it was Yu Shijiu's raised fire axe—unfortunately, the fire axe only managed to cut a small gash in the human-headed earthworm.

The pain made the earthworm struggle even more violently, and with the spurting of blood and mucus from the wound, the earthworm's speed increased significantly this time.

As the sharp, slimy mouthparts approached him, Yu Shijiu's pupils constricted and he retreated. Unable to dodge in time, he was bitten on the right arm by the gaping mouth of the earthworm-like head.

Fortunately, it only managed to bite through a thin layer of skin.

Just as the earthworm-like human head was about to bite deeper into the bone, Yu Shijiu decisively chopped at the beautiful woman's head, retreating swiftly amidst her sharp screams.

tear--

As his clothes were torn apart by sharp teeth along his skin, Yu Shijiu's pupils shone even brighter. In the instant that excitement and blood filled his eyes, the corners of his mouth curled up in an exaggerated way.

The pain of human injury can sometimes be the best stimulant.

No?
