One afternoon, a mutated virus swept across the globe, and zombies emerged in droves. Even more bizarrely, after the disaster began, many men and women carrying various weapons appeared.
Duri...
Lu Cai ran down madly and soon reached the end. The vines were still growing, and she could already see the white scorpion lying quietly and motionless.
The distance was very close, so she had no worries and just stepped on the vines, using the force to leap over!
Her body brushed against the scorpion's tail as she stepped on the giant white scorpion's back. The young scorpions were so delicate and tender, she crushed a bunch of them, sending the others scattering hastily. She also saw a group of them huddled together, their weight unstable, and they tilted to the side, falling off the scorpion's back.
The giant scorpion at her feet lay motionless. Lu Cai raised her dagger and stabbed it, the blade digging into the scorpion's back. Her hand trembled slightly. She frowned; this stab didn't feel right.
The red thread penetrated into the wound of the giant scorpion. As the thread expanded, Lu Cai frowned.
Qin Yu also landed, squatting to steady himself, and saw Lu Cai's frown. Gu Xici and Shi Rukui also landed, but there was no crisis as expected.
"This scorpion is a specimen." Lu Cai pulled out his dagger and stood up.
Is this a trap?
"It's the end—" Gu Xici looked around, and saw a vast expanse of resin of unknown depth.
The columns under your feet are still descending. In a moment, they will fall into the resin and become amber inclusions.
Fortunately, this matter was not a difficult problem in Lu Cai's eyes.
Four strands of red silk encircled each of them, making them look like little hamsters running wildly in a small ball.
This was Lu Cai's own ability, so it wasn't difficult for him to keep his balance. Qin Yu's ability was telekinesis, so by extending his telekinesis, he could also balance his body. The other two were in a bit of a mess. They were all tall and thin with long legs, and once the ball caught them, they fell straight to the ground.
The white scorpion specimen was slowly immersed in resin, and the pale yellow liquid flowed over the scorpion's back. The pure white and fragile scorpion cubs were forced to run around in panic by the resin, but the scorpion's back was like a sinking island, destined to have no escape.
The little scorpion waved its claws in panic, huddled together in a ball, and slowly sank into the resin.
Four red spheres floated on the surface of the water, with Lu Cai half-suspended within. The spheres slid across the surface of the liquid and approached the stone wall. The three spheres behind him automatically followed, and the four of them circled the stone wall.
The rose vines slowly descended from overhead, as if reaching their limit.
Lu Cai glanced at the vines above, raised his hand to control the three balls behind him, and threw several people up at once. The balls disappeared instantly when they hit the vines.
"She wants to go down by herself--" Shi Rukui held onto the branches and saw Lu Cai's ball slowly sinking into the amber below.
"What?" Gu Xici's reaction was a bit exaggerated, and his voice was raised. "She, she's cheating again!"
Shi Rukui raised an eyebrow: "Do you still want to duel with her?"
"We can't get into the resin, and going down would only cause more trouble." Qin Yu stared at the resin surface, which had returned to calm. "Let's go up first."
——
Lu Cai dived down and was wrapped in pale yellow resin. He could not see anything clearly and had no idea of the direction.
She didn't care and was determined to keep going down until the ball hit the bottom.
The surface of the sphere attached to the bottom slowly flattened along the ground, pushing the resin out of the gap, and finally the bottom could be seen clearly.
She continued to move, wandering around aimlessly for a long time, but there was still no movement and she didn't notice anything unusual on the ground.
Lu Cai became impatient and just stood still, gathering his energy into his fist and punching towards his feet.
She finally understood that fists are still reliable at critical moments!
After one punch, the stone slab didn't budge. Lu Cai continued to hammer with her fists. She just didn't believe in evil. She had never encountered a stone that she couldn't break!
After a few punches, the attack finally took effect, and a thin crack appeared in the ground. The red silk seeped into it desperately, and Lu Cai did not stop his movements.
No matter how solid the stone slab is, it will eventually break. I don't know which punch shattered the ground. Resin suddenly poured into the stone cave, expanding the hole even wider.
Lu Cai reduced the size of the ball, mixed it into the resin, and squeezed it in through the hole. After a while of upheaval, she rolled a few times on the ground and landed on a clean open space.
After she recovered from the dizziness, she saw that everything above her was pitch black. The resin had all receded and was no longer accumulating in the cave.
She ripped off the spherical barrier, and a stench of decay and insects filled her nostrils. The ground was sticky, soft mud, and the hole was thick with moisture, dark and humid. The pale yellow resin still being poured into the hole had become sparse, probably because it had drained out.
A thin ray of light came through, casting a shadow on the dark mud.
Lu Cai stretched out his hand and released several balls of light, which expanded and emitted a faint glow.
A long black streak passed behind her, bringing with it a light, cool breeze. Lu Cai paused, not looking back. The red ball of light was still drifting in all directions. The cave was quite large, and the ball of light had not yet reached its edge.
Another soft rustling sound drifted into Lu Cai's ears. She recognized the sound as the scorpion monster's thin legs crawling.
Holding the dagger in reverse, Lu Cai moved quietly, as if he hadn't noticed anything unusual. The ball of light drifted away, gradually dimming. A dark shadow swayed slightly and moved past the ball of light.
At this moment, there was dead silence all around.
Lu Cai took a step forward and suddenly stopped. A long strip of light swept across her, and she jumped up to avoid it. After she landed with a somersault, red light lit up in all directions, illuminating the entire cave clearly.
The ball of light continued to replicate, sticking to the top of the four walls and spreading towards the center of the cave ceiling.
She raised her head and saw the other person's full appearance under the pale red light.
It was also a giant scorpion. She estimated that it was as big as the football field inside the school's 800-meter running track, and its entire body was as high as a three-story building.
Lu Cai's eyes widened slightly, but she wasn't frightened by the behemoth. She slowly stood up and looked at the irregular bulge on the upper side of the scorpion's head.
It was a human figure, half human, naked from the waist down, with the scorpion's head buried in it.
The other person's skin was extremely white, covered with a layer of mucus, his hair had become sparse, and his skin was swollen and wrinkled from being soaked in water for a long time.
He is a man whose age cannot be seen.
"An interesting person has come." He spoke, his voice was sharp and a little harsh.
Lu Cai raised his head and looked at him: "Did you raise these scorpions?"
The man spread his hands, a sinister smile on his lips.
The scorpion's tail suddenly stabbed at him, and Lu Cai dodged hurriedly, but this tail was much more flexible than those of the scorpion monsters. It can be seen that there is still a big difference between the human brain and the insect brain.
After landing, Lu Cai quickly retreated and swung his claws again.
She put aside her barrier to block the attack, but was knocked off balance.
Can't be so passive!
Lu Cai frowned, and when the scorpion's tail came at him again, he lowered his body, took advantage of the slippery mud, rushed forward, and slid backwards under the big scorpion.
The scorpion retreated hastily. She took advantage of the gap and leaped upwards. She turned the dagger she was holding in reverse, pointed the tip of the knife straight up, and stabbed it into the scorpion's chest.
A man's sharp roar of pain could be heard in the cave, which was very creepy.
Under the influence of gravity, the blade slid out of the wound. Lu Cai inserted the data into the wound, and red thread leaked out. She grasped the red thread tightly and hung it on the scorpion. Pulling the red thread longer, Lu Cai swayed her body and stabbed the scorpion monster again.
Following the same method, red threads began to ooze out of the wound.
"I'll kill you!" the man yelled.
Lu Cai thought to himself, those who can kill never talk nonsense, this is a true saying.
Her body swayed, her feet were caught by the red thread of the wound on her abdomen, and her body was pressed under the big scorpion.
Even with a scorpion's tail and claws, what could he do? Lu Cai injected more supernatural energy, and as long as he could delay it long enough, he would be able to kill him.
The big scorpion spun around for a while, and the man was still screaming. Lu Cai ignored it and concentrated on sending his supernatural power into the wound.
The screams suddenly stopped, and the big scorpion also stopped. Lu Cai swayed slightly, and the scorpion's thin legs relieved the force. She fell down, and the insect's body pressed her to the ground.
Under the heavy pressure, her eyes went dark, her internal organs seemed to shift, and she felt the soft mud on her back sinking. Otherwise, she might have been crushed...
No, she guessed that it couldn't be crushed. She still had some confidence in the hardness of her skin. If the ground was indestructible, perhaps a human figure would be imprinted on the scorpion.
Mobilizing her energy and covering her entire body, her arms trembled slightly. She gritted her teeth and pushed her hands upwards, creating a tiny gap. The red light from the cave slowly seeped in through the gap.
The scorpion's legs trembled slightly, and the gap became larger and larger. Lu Cai bent his knees, his eyes full of blood. He gritted his teeth and held on for a while. Then he used his hands and feet to concentrate his strength on the point of contact with the insect's body and pushed hard!
The huge scorpion was thrown out, and its body hit the wall of the cave heavily. The man on the insect's head had his neck twisted and collapsed there, twitching.
He looked at the figure slowly crawling up from the ground. Although he was so thin, he was filled with terrifying hostility.
They have strong bodies, intact limbs, and laughter. The man's eyes are filled with paranoia: "You can't beat me! I won't be defeated!"
The scorpions he raised allowed him freedom and also gave him a longer lifespan than others! He wouldn't be so fragile! The scorpions he raised were the strongest!
Lu Cai listened to the humming sound and patted her ear. Her fingers touched a sticky liquid. She spread it open and saw that it was probably blood. She felt a warm sensation on her upper lip, and she quickly wiped it away.
Nosebleed again?
This time, it wasn't just her nose that was bleeding; her ears were also bleeding. She looked at the redness in front of her eyes and couldn't help but wipe it under her eyes. Sure enough, there was liquid. She stared at it for a long time, but couldn't make out any color.
If he vomits blood again, will it be the legendary bleeding from all seven orifices?
Just as I was thinking about it, a salty taste of blood surged in my throat.
Well, it's all together——
Her eyelids felt heavy, and she slumped to the ground, watching as a crack appeared in the giant scorpion's abdomen, and then it suddenly exploded, splattering out the insect's mucus.
She closed her eyes and leaned back into darkness.
In her daze, she felt as if someone was approaching. The other person's footsteps were very light. He stopped beside her and slowly squatted down.
A stick-like object poked her arm, as if testing whether she was dead or alive.
Lu Cai felt weak all over and dizzy. Relying on her instinct for survival, she exerted her last bit of strength and raised her hand to grab the stick-like object that was poking her.
When I held it in my hand, I realized that it was not a stick, but a bit like a cuboid. I could hold it in one hand, and it was covered with a layer of soft leather.
The other party was a little unhappy and hurriedly pulled the thing back. Lu Cai also became anxious and held it tighter, muttering to himself.
"Have you returned to the community?"
She kept asking.
Have you completed the game yet? Have you returned to the community area?
She should still be alive, right?
