Infinite: Dawn Game

"We need to deal with her first."

After a moment of contemplation, Chen Yi frowned as he looked at the motionless elevator.

"I suspect that Fang Xiaoxiao is the mini-boss in this elevator area."

Various strange monsters will always appear in the game's dungeons. When a certain area is blocked and cannot be escaped, it means that a mini-boss has appeared in that area.

Of course, "Fang Xiaoxiao," who had already been bewitched to death, was not the real mini-boss. The one who should really be dealt with was the little monster who had clearly taken over her mind and become her leader.

Although the origins of the little monster are quite pitiful upon closer examination... now is not the time to compare who is more pitiful.

Chen Yi thought for a moment, then added, "As long as we find her weakness, we can—"

Chen Yi was suddenly grabbed by the corner of his clothes and pulled to the side by the fat man. Just as he was about to touch the brains on the elevator wall, Chen Yi quickly took a step back in fear.

"Brother Chen."

Yu Shijiu's voice came from beside him, "Using your brain is fine, but you still need to be careful about dangers."

"..." Chen Yi quietly took back a protective item from his hand and nodded obediently.

"Shi Jiu is right, I was daydreaming just now."

"It seems that before dealing with Fang Xiaoxiao, we have to deal with this poor person first."

Yu Shijiu sighed as he looked at the male player who had his right brain pierced by the brain implanted in the elevator wall and reached out to attack Chen Yi.

The light in the male player's eyes vanished at that moment. Looking closely, deep within his narrow pupils, a blue cat was howling in pain, tearing at its own fur. The cries of an infant and the meows of the cat mingled together, creating a terrifying and absurd scene.

"He's so pitiful, I'm a little sad."

Yu Shijiu said.

The other players nearby: "..."

They silently took another step back.

Chen Yi patted Fei Fei's head, then pulled Yu Shi Jiu's hand, which was trying to rush forward, and shook his head slightly.

"That's not fair."

Yu Shijiu turned around blankly.

"Brother Chen?"

"This is unfair, Shi Jiu."

Chen Yi gently brushed away non-existent dust from Yu Shijiu's shoulder, his warm hand penetrating through the thin fabric to feel the texture of Yu Shijiu's skin.

"We've been busy all the time."

Chen Yi smiled and said, "But them." He pointed to the players on the other side who were trying to shrink themselves into the crack in the ground, his eyes cold.

"I have never used a single item or skill."

The players nearby: "..."

"Meow!!!!"

As the male player roared and charged toward Chen Yi, a strange claw emerged from between his bloodied fingers, resembling a black and red cat's claw sewn on.

Yu Shijiu raised his axe to block the male player's attack, then nodded in sudden realization:

"Brother Chen is right, how come I didn't think of that before?"

"Hey!"

Yu Shijiu gripped the axe tightly with his right hand, veins bulging, and pushed the roaring male player little by little towards the players who were still trying to hide.

"We're all players, oh no, we're all adventurers," Yu Shijiu clicked his tongue, changing his form of address, and said:

"Don't try to shirk responsibility, or you might as well just die."

The male player, who had been transformed, was pushed directly into the group of players huddled together for warmth by Yu Shijiu, and a terrified scream rang out instantly.

One player who couldn't dodge in time was bitten by the seemingly mindless male player; as flesh was torn from his body, the male player screamed in pain.

Then something clicked.

Following the sound, "Fang Xiaoxiao" turned her head 160 degrees and stuck out her head to bite the male player's head, making a "crunching" biting sound.

The other players, witnessing this bloody scene, covered their mouths, took out their items, and dared not utter another scream.

Amidst the heavy stench of blood, Yu Shijiu suddenly noticed a fist-sized, brain-shaped lump on the back of the female player's head... In the shadows, he could even vaguely see the outline of a monster with a human face and a cat's body moving within it.

"There's something inside the tumor?"

Realizing that Fang Xiaoxiao's weakness might be in the back of her head, Yu Shijiu smiled with her eyes crinkling.

Chen Yi also noticed the deformed brain tumor at the back of Fang Xiaoxiao's head, and frowned, saying:

"Shi Jiu, can you cut off that tumor?"

"of course can."

Yu Shijiu nodded excitedly and licked her lower lip. "Fatty."

"Meow?"

Feifei sniffed in annoyance and walked over to Yu Shijiu, rubbing against his thigh.

"Could you distract her for a bit? I'll go around behind her and cut off that lump on the back of her head."

"Meow!"

Meow!

Feifei completely agrees.

Just as "Fang Xiaoxiao" was gnawing on the player's head, Feifei suddenly walked up to her, opened its mouth wide, and let out a deafening meow.

Fang Xiaoxiao paused in her biting motion, her bloodshot eyes fixed on the direction where Feifei was, and her cervical spine cracked again as she frantically chased after Feifei.

The fist-sized tumor on the back of her neck writhed, appearing completely unobstructed before Yu Shijiu's eyes.

“Pfft——!!!”

Yu Shijiu's axe blade struck the brain tumor with precision, but it felt like cutting into a gelatinous swamp.

The axe was tightly entangled by some wriggling, red and white buds of brain tissue.

Yu Shijiu narrowed his eyes slightly and gripped the axe with even greater force with his right hand.

In that instant of exertion, Yu Shijiu seemed to hear the cries of countless babies, children, women, men, and old people. Countless sounds penetrated his brain, disturbing his throbbing, excited nerves.

For a moment, Yu Shijiu's eyeballs bulged out of their sockets uncontrollably, turning into two throbbing brain tumors!

Chen Yi's heart skipped a beat as he watched, and he subconsciously took several steps forward before stopping.

Brain flower... consciousness invasion... the deeper the bond between pet and owner (here, the bond refers to how many times the pet has saved its owner, the more the better)... and the fist-sized "brain flower tumor" that grew on the back of "Fang Xiaoxiao's" head after she was bewitched by her pet...

With countless chaotic clues coming together, Chen Yi felt a splitting headache, but he still couldn't stop thinking.

...Probably not. Yu Shijiu wouldn't let her consciousness be so easily taken over by a "pet"... This strange behavior is most likely due to Yu Shijiu's temporary disorientation caused by close contact with the source of pollution. If I were to act rashly, it might cause Yu Shijiu to be unable to overcome the hallucinations...

It must be said that Chen Yi is indeed a seasoned Dawn game player. In a brief ten seconds, he forced himself to interfere with Yu Shijiu's attack, forcing himself to stand still and watch the scene of Yu Shijiu's eyes turning into tumors.

Even now, all he can hear is the rapid, fearful beating of his own heart.

"..."

Yu Shijiu's tiger's mouth was now cracked open, and the axe handle was stained with blood and slippery.

He stared at the half-wriggling, splitting brain tumor in front of him, emitting countless screams, and the smile on his lips grew wider and wider.

Great.

Yu Shijiu thought.

That makes it more challenging!
