Chapter 49: Open Door Kill (Correct)
The wind in the valley became restless.
Yu Sheng didn't know what was happening, but he could clearly feel that the "atmosphere" that filled the entire foreign land was changing. This feeling was hard to describe in words. If I had to say it, it would be...
He felt that the entire valley was gradually "coming alive".
The woods in the distance are waking up, the mountains are waking up, the earth is waking up, and even the sky above is giving off a chilling, cold, hungry gaze.
He noticed that Hu Li beside him was trembling slightly. The fox girl clutched the food in her hand tightly, but fear appeared on her face. She raised her head and looked at the dark night sky above. She moved her feet little by little behind Yu Sheng, constantly whispering something. When she got closer, Yu Sheng could hear the repeated content:
"This is what happens when an immortal dies... This is what happens when an immortal dies..."
"What's going on now?" Irene asked quickly. The little doll also became nervous. At this time, the whole body of the kitchen knife in her arms was tense. "Do you know something?"
However, Hu Li did not answer her, as if he had fallen into a state of confusion again, and just kept repeating the words he had just said.
Soon, Irene and Yu Sheng no longer cared about Hu Li's abnormal condition.
Yu Sheng felt the familiar breath appear nearby. In the corner of his eye, he saw a entity quickly condensing in the shadows at the edge of the ruins of the dilapidated temple. The deformed and swollen flesh and blood grew layer by layer, and strange limbs that seemed to be cut from various creatures grew out of the flesh layer by layer. Dozens of hungry eyes were open on the surface of the monster, and sharp teeth and torn mouthparts kept emerging between the eyes, making a turbid low growl.
The entity - The Hunger, finally appears near its prey.
"Fuck!" Irene screamed immediately, "This thing is so ugly!"
"Be careful of its sneak attack. This thing's limbs can be deformed, and it can suddenly grow tentacles and a tail from its body," Yu Sheng immediately warned, and then said to Hu Li beside him, "Just protect yourself later. You have been deeply eroded by this guy and you can't fight it."
Hu Li's current condition is very abnormal. After the monster appeared, she was still looking at the sky with horror, but after hearing Yu Sheng's words, she nodded dully, picked up the scattered food on the ground and backed away, but she did not dare to retreat too far, as if she was afraid that something might have happened to Yu Sheng.
"How are you going to fight next?" Irene whispered. The monster not far away was still hovering, as if it was patiently waiting for something, but this delay only made her feel more and more uneasy. "Don't tell me you're going to rush up to it with your bare hands and fight it. You didn't even have a weapon when you came here. At least I have a kitchen knife."
Yu Sheng certainly knew that he had not prepared any weapons when he came, because he had tried it long ago and found that most of the structures on the monster's body were harder than stone. Even if he could chop off a small part of its softer flesh with an axe, the effect would be only marginal. So he had not planned to bring any "weapons" from the beginning - for an ordinary person who had never received any weapon combat training, let alone bringing a kitchen knife, even if he really brought a dragon-slaying sword, there was a high probability that he would be chopped first.
He prepared other means of "killing".
"It's still the same idea we discussed at home. You just need to control its movements with your silk threads," Yu Sheng said quickly. "I will rush over and 'tear a hole' in it later. You just watch out. If I accidentally fail, you can immediately take Hu Li and run away. Don't worry about me. Hu Li has a way to survive the monster, and you won't be actively pursued by hunger..."
Irene was stunned for a moment: "Ah, then what?"
"Let's reunite after I come back to life and try again. This thing will eventually die."
"Damn it, this is the crude and simplistic way of thinking, right? We agreed not to use 'Resurrection' as a basic attack!"
"I just said 'try my best'," Yu Sheng said quickly, but soon frowned, feeling that something was wrong with the monster not far away, "Why doesn't it attack me..."
Irene had the same doubt: "I always feel like it's deliberately stalling for time, as if it's waiting for something - does this thing already have the concept of 'strategy'?"
"Then we can't let it wait," Yu Sheng immediately gritted his teeth, "Take the initiative!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he took the initiative to rush towards the monster. At almost the same time, Irene, who was sitting on his shoulder, also turned over and jumped off him, and stretched out her right hand towards the monster. At the moment of landing, the puppet's eyes had turned pitch black, and countless fine, black silk threads with a strange and cold aura had spread out from her hands, like a rapidly growing and spreading spider web, spreading wildly in the entire space! All the "spider silk" bypassed Yu Sheng's movement trajectory. He accelerated again in a web of silk threads that continued to spread. His strengthened body almost left a residual image in the air, and pounced on the hideous and terrifying flesh and blood beast! The monster finally moved. Facing the active attack of the "prey", it seemed a little stunned, but it quickly launched a counterattack. A hideous claw rose high from the back of the beast and smashed hard on the path that Yu Sheng had to take to pounce.
At this moment, Yu Sheng suddenly felt that wonderful... "prediction" again.
He felt which part of the monster's muscles were contracting, felt its desire to attack and the real focus of its sight at the moment. He seemed to have seen in advance a tentacle extending from behind its claws, blocking all possible escape routes for him in the next second...
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that his "prediction" this time was more accurate than before. In fact... he began to realize that it was not the so-called "spiritual intuition" at all.
Because he now had true spiritual intuition and had experienced what it felt like, he discovered that what he "saw" and "felt" when predicting the monster's actions was completely different from his so-called spiritual intuition.
When he noticed the monster's actions in advance, it was almost a first-person perspective.
All thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant, and Yu Sheng crossed the last few meters in the blink of an eye, and the sharp claws of the flesh and blood monster fell.
Yu Sheng didn't dodge at all. He saw from the corner of his eye that the silk threads that spread from behind him had already closed in the air. The next moment, countless black threads entangled the monster's limbs and pierced through its claws, tentacles, and huge mouth like some kind of bone-penetrating phantom...
Cold, numb, sluggish, as if even the mind was instantly pierced with holes, and even the soul was wrapped in layers of a cold spider web...
Overwhelmed with negative feelings, Yu Sheng seemed to see some kind of illusion for a moment - he saw himself trapped in a spider web, with countless spider silks entangled around him, even piercing his limbs, and at the edge of the spider web, a shadow with scarlet eyes was lurking in the darkness, slowly crawling towards him in a weird and hideous posture...
"Yusheng! Stop being in a daze! I can't hold you back any longer!"
The sudden loud scream in his ears woke Yu Sheng up instantly. He looked up and saw that the giant beast of flesh and blood had been suspended in the center of layers of black silk threads in a strange posture, and the ends of the silk threads were taut, as if they would be forcibly broken by the monster in the next second.
There was no time to think about the "illusion" he had just experienced. Yu Sheng had already pounced to a certain position beside the monster. In this precious moment that Irene had gained, he grabbed the black silk thread in mid-air with one hand and reached into the air with the other hand. He concentrated his mind with all his strength and then slowly pulled -
A door appeared, and the surface of the door that emerged out of thin air was filled with light and shadow flowing like an illusion.

Opening a door out of thin air takes more energy and time than opening a physical door. Yu Sheng must concentrate in a relatively stable environment to complete this process. At this moment, looking at the monster's gradually trembling limbs and the black spider silk that has begun to slowly crack, even if it is only a few seconds, Yu Sheng feels that these few seconds are as long as a lifetime.
——Although his "life" has not been very long in recent times.
The next second, accompanied by the sound of the door opening, the imaginary door was finally completely opened.
It was even bigger than any door that had been opened before, big enough to even throw the monster in whole.
Fiery flames burst out from the door, even illuminating a large area around the door.
Opposite the door is a lake of lava that is constantly surging.
That was the "surprise" Yu Sheng discovered during his countless door-opening experiments.
He didn't know where that place was. He only knew that there was endless lava and gushing flames, like the scenery in hell.
The entity - hunger is very powerful, but its threat comes more from mental pollution and its own "hunger" power that is almost a kind of rule. As for its "carrier" after it is materialized - compared with the rules, it is actually not that tough.
It can be baked.
If it's not cooked through, use a higher heat.
“Throw it in!”
Yu Sheng shouted to Irene.
"Okay!"
