Infinite: Dawn Game

Zhao Xuan paused in his angry rant, looking incredulously at Yu Shijiu who had just run past not far away. His gaze lingered for a long time on the spot where the other man had plunged a fruit knife into the giant earthworm's body.

Lin Feng was also stunned.

She watched as Yu Shijiu effortlessly pulled out the fruit knife, which was practically tiny compared to a boomerang, leaving a flat wound on what should have been an impenetrable, steel-like earthworm.

The giant earthworm, in pain, began to writhe wildly, tearing off many silk fabrics and red candles inside the ancestral hall. Then, the ancestral hall caught fire.

Zhao Xuan and Lin Feng, who were already finding it difficult: "..."

"run!"

Zhao Xuan immediately turned and ran towards the door, shouting loudly at Mu Gui, who seemed stunned to the side:

"What are you waiting for! Run!"

He didn't know if giant earthworms were afraid of fire, but as players, they were definitely afraid of fire and earthworms! Were they just going to stand there and wait to die?!

Mu Gui snapped out of his shock and hurriedly ran towards the entrance of the ancestral hall.

As for Lin Feng and Yu Shijiu...

Zhao Xuan ignored Lin Feng, who was still standing there, grabbed Mu Gui by the collar, and pulled him by the clothes as he ran frantically toward the entrance of the ancestral hall.

Yu Shijiu stabbed the giant earthworm, and it will definitely not let Yu Shijiu go.

Although it was somewhat regrettable that Yu Shijiu wasn't killed by him, Zhao Xuan couldn't help but smile.

As long as Yu Shijiu dies and it wasn't me who did it, then I will definitely be the one selected for promotion within the church.

Although it may seem like a somewhat unfair victory, it's not entirely impossible.

Zhao Xuan didn't care about these details.

Mu Gui didn't think too much about it. He just turned around and glanced at Yu Shijiu, who seemed to be stunned and frozen in place. He wanted to say something but then swallowed it back.

Forget it, I'd better not make Zhao Xuan angry, otherwise—

Qi Tie's death was his fate.

Lin Feng was still hesitating.

She stared at Yu Shijiu's unmoved back and called out his name several more times.

Yu Shijiu still did not respond.

Lin Feng, who had just coughed violently after choking on a mouthful of smoke, began to cough: "...cough cough cough cough—"

Oh no, Lai Bao will definitely be angry if he doesn't see Yu Shijiu come back.

Lin Feng covered her nose, her face turning red from the choking. After hesitating several times, she still didn't risk running over to pull Yu Shijiu over.

Because the ancestral hall was covered with silk cloth and red candles, once it was lit, another area seemed to be infected and frantically licked the surrounding area.

The fire was too big.

Lin Feng ultimately chose to go out alone.

Because Yu Shijiu seemed to be under a spell, he turned his back to her and didn't make a sound at all.

Not to mention Lin Feng, many players in front of the screen were so anxious that their faces turned red and their necks were thick. Players who wanted to see Yu Shijiu clear the game wished they could go out and drag Yu Shijiu out themselves!

"Earthworms can create illusions, right?"

"It seems so. When I was watching Lin Feng's live stream, I saw that NPC called Uncle Gong holding a giant earthworm and calling it 'daughter' or something..."

"Damn it! Yu Shijiu doesn't seem like he's going to die so easily! What's wrong with him? Does he have a death wish?!"

"..."

The players, frustrated by Yu Shijiu's lack of progress, were abuzz with discussion. Some were gloating, while others were very interested in her. But regardless of whether they liked or disliked her, everyone was curious about whether Yu Shijiu had fallen into an "illusion."

After all, the ancestral hall had been burned down, and the giant earthworm was right in front of them. No matter how you looked at it, Yu Shijiu's motionless and unmoving stance, standing there like a wooden stake, seemed like he was "spellbound."

As for Yu Shijiu, who is currently suspected of being "cursed"—

He stared at the giant earthworm that was lunging at him with its mouth wide open, and in a brief instant, the fruit knife in his hand was quickly replaced by a huge, blood-stained fire axe.

It was the fire axe that was brought out of the sanatorium.

Perhaps because it was stained with the blood of Xue Xue and Xue Yan, its originally broken blade was now smooth, and the cold blade gleamed in the firelight.

It's a very useful weapon.

Yu Shijiu raised the axe, his normally clear amber eyes now bloodshot from the surrounding firelight. He slowly tilted his head and held the fire axe horizontally in front of him the instant the giant earthworm charged.

boom--

The giant earthworm slammed into the huge fire axe with a sharp, hissing sound. Its usually sharp, fine teeth opened and closed, and blood dripped from the tips of its teeth.

Yu Shijiu looked down at the fire axe in his hand, slightly bewildered, and exclaimed.

“That’s not right,” Yu Shijiu touched the sticky blood from the giant earthworm on the axe and rubbed it between his fingertips.

Instead of biting people directly, this giant earthworm rammed its head into the fire axe face to face...

"You're so stupid."

Yu Shijiu said sincerely.

The giant earthworm, which had lost several teeth in the collision, was speechless.

It hissed wildly again, its grotesque, twisted, purplish-red body sweeping over rapidly.

This time, it didn't try to confront Yu Shijiu head-on. Instead, it wrapped its entire body around Yu Shijiu, intending to strangle her alive.

Yu Shijiu stood motionless, watching as the earthworms enveloped his entire body, a crimson light flashing in his eyes.

It's here, that's great!

A huge, heavy fire axe was raised high by a pair of thin, pale hands and chopped down at the transparent, milky-white ring on which the giant earthworm was wriggling.

At the same time, the giant earthworm that had finally entangled Yu Shijiu was overjoyed and planned to strangle this ignorant human who had harmed it, but before it could exert much force, an inexplicable force stopped its movements.

what?

As the giant earthworm pondered this problem with its not-so-flexible brain, the link was suddenly severed by a giant axe!

Giant earthworm: "..."

"Hiss hiss hiss—hiss hiss—hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss—"

In an instant, the giant earthworm, cut in two, emitted a continuous hissing sound from its mouthparts. Its two twisted, purplish-red bodies writhed and tumbled in the flames, narrowly dodging Yu Shijiu's next axe strike.

Yu Shijiu, who had just slashed through the air: "..."

He blinked in disbelief, staring at the axe in his hand that had been driven deep into the incense table in front of him, which was being scorched by flames. He then pulled the axe out with great force.

click-

The incense burner and some offerings used for sacrifices on the altar fell to the ground as the altar broke.

It was at this moment that Yu Shijiu noticed out of the corner of his eye that the fruit in the offering plate had been gnawed into countless holes.

The culprits are the earthworm larvae that are constantly crawling in and out of the fruit.

Yu Shijiu felt a pang of regret for a few seconds over the fruit, then picked up his axe again and chased after the giant earthworm that was wriggling and twisting around the ancestral hall.

I haven't even tried cutting an earthworm into several pieces yet! I can't let such a good opportunity pass me by!
