The aberration seemed to sense its prey's dead end and let out a low, excited roar.
The massive scythe-like bone blade slowly rose, its eerie green venomous spikes hovering high behind it, locking onto Xiao Jin's heart and head!
No serum, no way out, no reinforcements!
Fortunately, Amo and Xiao Jin are still fighting side by side, and the backup plan she left behind can be used.
In truth, as a venomous snake, Amo should theoretically be immune to the poisonous gas. However, Xiao Jin could sense through the contract that if Amo inhaled too much of this poisonous gas, it would lose its mind, go mad, and become insane.
Therefore, in this instance, Xiao Jin controlled the timing of A Mo's appearance.
The dungeon is almost over, so there's no need to suppress it anymore...
"Want to eat me?" Xiao Jin's festering lips suddenly twitched upwards into a crazy and ferocious arc.
Deep within his murky pupils, that unyielding, icy flame belonging to "Xiao Jin" suddenly burst into flame amidst the boundless darkness and madness!
"Then... prepare to go to hell!"
We must fight to the death!
"Go, Amo!"
Xiao Jin gave the command, and A Mo's massive body lunged forward, its snake tail sweeping heavily across the deformed creature in front of it.
As for her, she activated the skill 'Dark Abyss Arrow Shadow', which had just finished its cooldown.
[Dark Abyss Arrow Shadow: Activates the power of the Dark Abyss, increasing the player's dodge speed by +50 and movement speed by +300% for 10 minutes.]
Xiao Jin's body erupted with power beyond its limits. Instead of retreating, he advanced, charging fiercely towards the deadly scythe and poisonous thorns!
The longsword transformed into a streak of light, working in tandem with Amo to pierce the aberrant's compound eye, which was burning with a dark red light!
bloody battle!
It is the most primitive! And also the most brutal sport!
Clang! Sizzle! Pfft!
The clanging of metal against metal, the muffled sound of bone blades tearing through flesh, and the sound of poisonous thorns piercing through the body!
The narrow dead end was instantly filled with the pungent smell of blood and violent energy turbulence!
Three figures fought with lightning speed, exchanging blows for blows! Each collision sent up a spray of blood!
Xiao Jin completely abandoned defense, focusing solely on offense! His sharp longsword sliced through the mutant's hard carapace, leaving dazzling sparks and deep grooves! His secondary weapon, hidden in his left hand, narrowly grazed its vital points several times!
But the difference in strength still exists! Even with Amo's help.
*Pfft!*
A sickening, dull thud as a sharp weapon pierced deep into flesh!
Xiao Jinqian's body suddenly stiffened! She gritted her teeth and lowered her head.
Then, the scorpion's stinger, gleaming with a ghostly green venom, pierced Xiao Jin's chest from a tricky angle from behind, just like the most insidious venomous snake!
Then it emerges from the chest, slightly above the heart, through the body!
Thick, dark purple blood dripped from the cold tip of the venomous stinger.
Excruciating pain! Icy cold! And the numbing sensation caused by the rampant spread of toxins!
Time seemed to freeze at that moment.
Xiao Jin's vision was instantly swallowed up by the boundless, viscous darkness.
But she could see a blood-red player panel pop up in her field of vision, with enlarged text flashing warningly: Corrosion level - 98%!
The frenzied will in her mind, like a flood bursting its banks, roared and overwhelmed the last dam! Xiao Jin felt her control over her body rapidly slipping away…
Cold…numb…the aura of death is so clear…
In a daze, Xiao Jin seemed to sense that Amo, because of his injury, began to angrily charge at the mutant. Its tail slammed against the ground rapidly, even shattering the stone slabs.
The hard scales scraped against the wall, making a sharp sound like a knife tip scratching glass.
Although she was on the verge of death, Xiao Jin's lips involuntarily curled up slightly as she fell to the ground, revealing a strange smile on her face.
"Ha... I still... won..."
The next moment, the bomb planted by the chess piece was detonated, the sound echoing throughout the ruins, and flames licking at the surrounding buildings.
As the explosion rang out, Xiao Jin's mind stirred, and she summoned Amo back into her pet pouch. And, just as the boundless darkness was about to completely engulf her last vestige of consciousness—
A cold, mechanical, and emotionless voice rang directly in Xiao Jin's mind:
[Ding—Instance timer expired. Main quest "Survival..." is complete.]
[Player detected to be in a near-death state... Forced exit and restart of the program...]
[3…2…1…Return!]
Buzz—!
An irresistible, powerful force, seemingly originating from the very rules of the universe, instantly enveloped Xiao Jin's battered body!
Space began to distort and fold! Her figure, along with the poisonous thorn that had pierced her chest, flickered and blurred violently, like a television screen with a poor signal!
For the first time, human-like, unbelievable astonishment and rage appeared in the player's mutated, dark red compound eyes!
It let out a defiant, deafening roar, trying to plunge its venomous stinger deeper!
However, that power of rules is absolute!
brush!
Just before the poisonous stinger was about to completely crush his heart, Xiao Jin's figure vanished from the spot as if erased by an eraser!
In the dead end, the player mutant roared in impotent rage, its final form swallowed by the heat of the explosion...
————
"Bang!"
"Pfft~ cough cough!!"
A dull thud shattered the deathly silence in the carriage, and Xiao Jin, like a rag doll violently discarded, crashed heavily onto the cold, hard floor.
She was covered in blood, her clothes were tattered, and her exposed skin was covered with gruesome wounds, some so deep that the bone was visible, and the edges were a chilling purplish-black.
The wound was being constantly corroded by a vicious black mist that emitted a sweet, fishy smell.
The immense impact worsened Xiao Jin's already damaged body; a sweet taste rose in her throat, and a gush of hot, viscous blood suddenly spurted from her mouth.
[Warning: Player's vital signs have been rapidly declining, and the player is in a critical 'near death' state.]
[Should I immediately deduct 5 survival points to proceed with treatment?]
Xiao Jin's lungs felt like a broken bellows; every weak breath was accompanied by blood and a tearing pain.
She opened her mouth, but no sound came out; only more blood and foam gushed out.
After a long while, Xiao Jin used the last bit of her remaining will to squeeze out a barely audible word from her broken throat.
"yes……"
After saying that, Xiao Jin's head drooped limply to one side.
[Ding—Points deducted, treatment to begin…]
The moment after he finished speaking, a soft white dot of light appeared in the void.
The light spot rapidly expanded, instantly enveloping Xiao Jin's battered body, forming a huge, cocoon-shaped ball of soft light.
