Infinite: Dawn Game

Upon hearing this, Feifei immediately became unhappy. Its wagging tail suddenly accelerated, splashing water all over Yu Shijiu.

"Meow meow meow!!!"

I'm not heavy! You're just too thin!

Yu Shijiu smiled and touched her face. Her slightly long, medium-length hair clung to her cheeks and was a little damp.

But he persisted in his idea and even sat down by the river and started rolling up his trouser legs.

Yu Shijiu grabbed Feifei's chubby hand, which was trying to stop him, and rolled up his trouser leg little by little.

"You stepped on my knees and they hurt."

Yu Shijiu's legs were slender and thin, seemingly so fragile that they could be broken with a single grasp. Her skin was pale, and there was a faint red mark on her knee, not serious, but it was particularly noticeable on such a leg.

The chubby tail stopped moving instantly.

It stared at the red patch on Yu Shijiu's knee, paused for a few seconds, and then quickly moved closer to lick it again and again.

The feeling of the cat's warm, barbed tongue licking his skin was a little strange; Yu Shijiu felt a tickle. He smiled and rubbed the chubby cat lying on his lap, finally telling the truth:

"Okay, actually it wasn't you who stepped on it. I just accidentally bumped into the steps in the ancestral hall."

The fat cat paused in its licking motion.

It slowly raised its head, bared its teeth, and let out a "meow," which made Yu Shijiu burst into laughter.

The riverbank was filled with the cheerful laughter of a boy. He bent down and rubbed the fat, soft fur of the pig, and whispered a few words, which made the pig so angry that it fluffed up its fur and shook off the water.

This time, both people and cats were completely soaked.

But Yu Shijiu was very happy.

He hadn't been this happy in a long time.

Just as Yu Shijiu was thinking that since she was already soaking wet, she might as well go down into the river for a bath, Feifei suddenly barked and then warily bit Yu Shijiu's wrist, dragging her to the shore.

Yu Shijiu blinked in surprise, but still followed the fat man's lead and walked upstream. Just as he reached the shore, the once calm river surface behind him suddenly boiled.

The next second, the river water surged skyward, accompanied by a strange hissing sound, and a giant purplish-red snake swam rapidly outward from the center of the river.

Almost as soon as Yu Shijiu saw the giant snake, he was bitten by Feifei and quickly retreated, running away from the riverbank at a speed that was almost like escaping for his life.

After finding a relatively safe spot, Feifei finally released Yu Shijiu's wrist.

Yu Shijiu lowered her head and rubbed her wrist, which had been bitten, then slowly raised her head and froze on the spot.

He didn't look closely before and thought it was a snake, but now that he looks at it so clearly, that giant snake that is still swimming in the middle of the river and rushing towards the bank is not a giant snake at all.

It was clearly a giant earthworm that exceeded the limits of human perception. Whether it was the ring-shaped purplish-red patterns all over its body or the slightly transparent pinkish ring at its tail, it was clear that it was not a snake at all.

Yu Shijiu opened her eyes wide and exclaimed:

"Are there really earthworms this big in the village?"

Fatty: "..."

It glanced warily at the giant earthworm struggling to wriggle towards the bank in the middle of the river, then opened its mouth and bit Yu Shijiu's clothes to prevent him from leaving.

"Fatty?"

Yu Shijiu was genuinely curious, but he didn't want to argue with Feifei, so he could only lower his head and use his hand to touch Feifei's mouth, whispering:

"I'll just go take a look and be right back."

It's just a harmless earthworm, what's there to be afraid of? If something really happens, we can always take a gamble—

But as soon as he finished speaking, he noticed that Fatty's green eyes instantly turned into vertical pupils of shock, and the force with which it bit his clothes increased.

Yu Shijiu: "..."

He scratched his neck helplessly, then looked back at the giant earthworm that was almost crawling to the riverbank, and sighed in great disappointment.

Forget it, if Feifei doesn't want him to go, he can just sneak over again tonight after Feifei falls asleep. There's no need to force things and ruin their relationship.

Before Yu Shijiu could finish thinking, a player who appeared out of nowhere suddenly shouted.

He seemed to be a new player who had stumbled upon the riverbank while searching for clues. When he suddenly saw the giant earthworm by the river, he was startled and cried out.

The giant earthworm froze instantly.

Its head, which had sucking organs attached, was slightly retracted, as if it were observing its surroundings.

Yu Shijiu stood there for a while and came to a conclusion.

He seemed to have read in a book that earthworms do not seem to have ears and eyes, but they have a unique organ that allows them to sense their surroundings and sounds.

So, is this earthworm looking for someone?

The new player also sensed something was wrong. He covered his mouth tightly and ran backward as the giant earthworm continued to wriggle and contract its mouth.

How could there be such a big earthworm?!

Yu Shijiu watched him turn and run, raised an eyebrow, and sighed with a touch of emotion:

"He seems a bit silly. Isn't running around now just telling the earthworm where he is?"

As if in response to Yu Shijiu's words, the giant earthworm, which had been constantly contracting and wriggling, seemed to have finally confirmed something, and its previously slow movements suddenly became as fast as lightning.

Almost the instant the new player turned around, he was bitten on the head by a giant earthworm.

Instantly, the new player was rendered speechless. He was lifted high by the giant earthworm, his hands below his head still desperately pushing upwards, and his legs struggling and twisting frantically. But he only struggled for a few seconds before a "crack" sounded.

The new player's body suddenly fell from mid-air with a "bang".

Yu Shijiu blinked.

Not far away, the headless player's corpse was still trembling on the ground. This was because the body's nerves hadn't yet reacted after the head was bitten off, making it look extremely horrifying.

Crimson blood spurted out, quickly staining the riverbank red. The soil, stained with blood, smelled particularly foul. Accompanied by the giant earthworm's head contracting and writhing, the scene that was originally a peaceful and beautiful rural landscape instantly turned into an extremely gruesome horror movie.

Feifei bit Yu Shijiu's clothes harder.

It made a "gurgling" sound in its throat, seemingly to warn the restless Yu Shijiu.

Because of the sight of blood, Yu Shijiu's eyes were now bloodshot. For the first time, he suppressed his urge to kill and carefully observed the giant earthworm digesting a head not far away.

Logically speaking, earthworms shouldn't have teeth, but this is a completely unconventional game world... Thinking about it this way, maybe this earthworm really does have teeth—

Just then, the giant earthworm finally finished digesting the new player's head, wriggled its body, lowered its head, and brought its mouth close to the headless corpse on the ground.

Then, Yu Shijiu saw the giant earthworm open its mouth wide, its round, pinkish-purple flesh constantly contracting, with densely packed, short, sharp teeth on both sides, looking like a round paper shredder from a distance.

Yu Shijiu's eyes widened instantly, and he exclaimed "Wow!" again.

Wow, it really does have teeth! That's amazing!
