Shi Jinzhe, a cheater in a survival game, falls into a desperate situation in the third game. At the critical moment of life and death, a broken stone statue saves his life by accident.
The m...
Gao Fei closed her palms, and the white light covering them scattered into particles, which then reassembled in her palms. She then clenched her fist tightly, causing a violent tremor to occur beneath everyone's feet for a few seconds.
"Okay, you can come now."
A faint, ethereal voice came from the other side, leaving the two groups of players who had decided to leave speechless.
Right in front of them, the entire Building B vanished.
The enclosed building was cut straight along the paving stones beneath their feet, and a cold, strong wind kept blowing in, revealing a cold, gray silhouette of the city to the six of them.
In the distance, it was all darkness, and even with adjusted vision, it was difficult to see anything further.
Shi Jinzhe took a few steps forward and came to the edge of the broken floor. Her white, half-length hair swept over her shoulders, pressed by the wind into a broad arc, with strands flying backward.
"I've witnessed another remarkable skill."
"Invisibility, or spatial cutting."
Sheh flicked her tail, her curly hair undulating in the wind as she moved, her snake tail lengthening, the tips of her hair turning into purple mist that spread throughout her body.
The other four players retreated, pressing themselves against the wall to make room for the expanding dark purple smoke.
"Have you found any other life in this city?"
The tall, broad snake head slid down from the fault line, and as it passed by, it kept turning around and asking this question.
"No, we're the only ones in the entire city."
When he said that, Shekh understood what he meant.
The absence of native inhabitants, combined with previous speculations, suggests that this instance is an abandoned world.
The enormous snake body landed slowly. Without the sunlight, its deep purple scales were almost black. Shekh actively restored its snake body, and the strange itching disappeared.
Shi Jin patted her large tail and, as usual, instructed, "Be careful."
"Um."
The slowly swimming body suddenly accelerated, and the wind generated in that instant almost blew the person away.
The hard scales, like armor, carried the overflowing black-gold mist towards all the surrounding buildings. The mist eroded them at an extremely fast speed, and in the blink of an eye, a thirty-story building was reduced to dust.
Compared to Schech, the towering buildings no longer seem so difficult to look up at.
A player crouching by the wall clutched his hat tightly. A grain of sand flew into his eyelid, rubbing painfully. He said between tears, "I once saw a video online of a big orange cat sleeping on a model of a real estate sales office. The models looked so small, like monsters invading the city, just like what's happening now."
"I feel like I'm about to be blown away, he just won't move at all..."
"You've already seen images of people turning into giant snakes, so why do you still treat them like ordinary people? There's a world of difference between them and us."
"What wall, the cell wall?"
"Who knows? Shi Jinzhe can grow leaves, right? Maybe his skill is related to plants. He'll turn into a tree for you to see in a bit."
The player, whose eyes were bloodshot, couldn't suppress his curiosity and still peeked out: "I've never heard of skills affecting player form. I suspect the only thing they have in common with us is that we both live in the biosphere."
Steel melts away, stones lie scattered everywhere, and the city appears in disarray in his eyes. Looking into the distance, one can occasionally glimpse a writhing snake's body.
A moment later, the giant snake had disappeared into the darkness of the edge of the area.
That's really scary...
They don't even need to strangle him; their forked tongues alone are enough to flatten him.
Not only were the two people on this side watching, but Gao Fei was also observing.
The hidden Building B disappears from the eyes of outsiders, but for players inside, apart from having their view distanced and seeing things as if through a thick glass, there is no difference.
"Although I had heard about it before, nothing could compare to seeing it with my own eyes."
Gao Fei glanced at Liang Fengzhi, who had lost all composure, and whispered to Shi Yan, "Luck is also part of strength. Sheh gave her skill cards and items, but her newbie status might be problematic. If we can't be friends, let's not be enemies. Let's take care of her a bit."
Shi Yan played with the gold leaf with its black and gold veins. "Those people who offer huge sums of money for props and want to buy their private information to be carried by others never imagined that raising a few snakes would earn them favor."
“Once this dungeon ends, raising snakes will definitely become popular among players.” Gao Fei shrugged. “But it’s no fun if it’s premeditated. It’s still the most practical thing to just clear the dungeon.”
"That's what they say, but it's still very useful to broaden your horizons."
The giant serpent swam away, and the entire city, except for Building A which still stands, has ceased to exist.
The giant purple snake climbed up the building, which was only half-built. With each spiral ascent, its tightening abdominal muscles would contract, and the falling exterior walls and shattered glass continued to crash down.
Gao Fei looked up and couldn't help but say, "It's too big. How can a human body contain such power?"
"It would be better to ask how the system controls these forces."
"Too."
The two were talking quietly when a system announcement suddenly came from the outside world, which was isolated by the skill.
[Warning: Due to the anchor point being destroyed, the instance will soon be teleported.]

Five people from Building A stood amidst the rubble, their heads supported by a golden vine.
The deep purple smoke dispersed and then condensed again. Shi Jinzhe stepped onto a sloping stone slab and found that what emerged from the mist was still Shekh's serpentine form.
"I can't go back to being me."
Her emotions were calm, but her overly solemn and serious voice always sent shivers down the spines of those who heard it.
Shi Jinzhe took a step back, away from the teleportation vortex pulled by the strange force, and pushed the player next to him who was dumbfounded because he was facing the snake's head into the vortex. "Go in first."
The remaining three players cautiously passed by him, leaning back to avoid him even though they were far away from him.
After everyone had left, Shi Jinzhe reached out and touched Shehe's lowered head, gently pressing his palm against her clitoris.
He used the back of his hand to brush away imaginary dust from her face. "You're not in a hurry to go back. What are your plans?"
Shekh's inability to revert to human form caused less of a change in her emotions than the rage she felt before destroying the ruins. Given her temper, if she hadn't had other plans, the stone beneath her feet would have been reduced to dust long ago.
Her calm demeanor suggests she may have other thoughts.
The vortex gradually shrank until it was less than 30 centimeters in diameter. Every now and then, the pupils would turn, glancing at the vortex before turning back.
"You're not in a hurry to leave anymore, have you discovered something?"
“I made a slightly different discovery, on the edge of the city.”
Shekh turned around. "Come with me."
Shi Jinzhe walked down the pile of rubble, taking large strides. After walking about ten meters, he took out a paper airplane prop. "I'll use flying instead."
Behind him, the teleportation point turned into a black dot and disappeared completely.
After observing the entire dismantling process, Gao Fei watched their backs as they disappeared into the dark and oppressive edge of the city.
Building B, which was separated into a special space by the skill [Intersect], was unaffected, and the twenty people in the Horror Lovers instance continued the game.
