◎Copy 8 Complete◎
Everything happened so fast that no one had time to react.
The monster with the same body shape and voice as Li Yiqing devoured Qi Qiuxue's arm in an instant and laughed in a low voice.
"Axue..." It called out Qi Qiuxue's name, its sharp fangs stained with Qi Qiuxue's flesh and blood. "Won't you hug me?"
"Why?"
"Why are you hiding?"
“…”
"Be careful to avoid it!" Li Yiqing's anxious voice echoed in Qi Qiuxue's head, awakening her from the excruciating pain and brief moment of unconsciousness. "It's aiming for your right hand!"
Before he could finish his words, the monster rushed up again.
Qi Qiuxue used a faster speed than before and just managed to dodge. There were hemostatic tools in her backpack. She quickly used the tools to stop the bleeding of her broken arm and carefully protected the Qianqianjie in her hand.
Fortunately, the monster had just bitten off her left hand. Qi Qiuxue put the bone knife in her hand back into her backpack a second before the monster swallowed her arm, so no additional damage was caused.
But the bone knife can be recovered, but the Qianqianjie cannot. This Qianqianjie is related to the lives of all of them, and she cannot make any more mistakes.
But now, Qi Qiuxue, who had lost an arm, was undoubtedly in a completely passive situation. She could no longer use weapons. From beginning to end, the monster had been sticking to her like a shadow, attacking her while blocking all her paths, leaving her no chance to go to the stage to complete the sacrifice.
At the critical moment, bullets and pokers shot out from behind, piercing through the air and hitting the monster's body, temporarily blocking its attack and buying Qi Qiuxue a moment of respite.
It’s Wu Shanyue and Bai Shien.
"Axue, take advantage of now!" Wu Shanyue attacked the monsters around him while continuing to attack the monster in front of Qi Qiuxue. Bai Shien did the same. Because he had to take care of both sides, he was really overwhelmed. The attacks of the two sometimes hit and sometimes missed, but no matter what, they still helped Qi Qiuxue.
Qi Qiuxue stared at the glowing sign on the stage and dived down recklessly. Li Yiqing's voice was always talking to her. She stared at the monster through Qi Qiuxue's pupils, and whenever it appeared in front of Qi Qiuxue, she would point out the direction for her to dodge in time.
Even if a monster appeared behind Qi Qiuxue, other players would remind her and continue to attack the monster. With the help of everyone, Qi Qiuxue finally landed smoothly on the stage.
She used her remaining right hand to grasp the Thousand Knot and raised it high to the glowing point. Soon, the system began to count down -
[Detected that a player is currently performing a sacrifice, please wait——]
【Thirty, twenty-nine, twenty-eight...】
Qi Qiuxue widened her eyes. It turned out that just placing the Qianqian Knot here was not enough. She actually needed to keep it there for thirty seconds!
But soon, her sacrifice was interrupted.
With the efforts of Li Yiqing and all the players, they only bought less than ten seconds for Qi Qiuxue. The monster rushed over again. Even though Qi Qiuxue tried her best to dodge, she was still accidentally injured. The flesh on her waist exploded in an instant, and blood flowed everywhere.
Qi Qiuxue lowered her eyelids and coughed up a mouthful of dark red blood.
Right now, her health points are only thirty-one.
[Detection of players stopping their sacrifices, countdown ends——]
Because of the dodge just now, Qi Qiuxue's hand holding Qianqianjie had a slight deviation. The system keenly captured this and immediately made a judgment that was unfavorable to the player.
[If the player wishes to perform the sacrifice again, they must repeat the previous action and wait for the timer to reset.]
It was a very strict requirement. One had to remain motionless for thirty seconds. But considering Qi Qiuxue's current situation, she couldn't even do it for five seconds, let alone thirty seconds.
The time left for them to complete their final mission is getting shorter and shorter.
Qi Qiuxue quickly glanced at the panel. Her health points kept decreasing and she could no longer withstand too many attacks from monsters. The situation for other players was also not optimistic. Because of the dungeon, the monsters could not be killed and their numbers would never be reduced. The longer the time dragged on, the smaller the chances of their survival.
Even if they don't want to admit it, they have to say that they are now at their wit's end.
unless--
"Aqing." Qi Qiuxue opened her lips and called Li Yiqing's name. The blood from the corners of her lips dripped onto the stage as her lips opened and closed, making a "pa pa pa" sound, and blood flowers bloomed one after another.
As her health continued to decline, Qi Qiuxue began to feel cold, her legs weak, and her voice trembling. But even so, her expression remained firm: "Now you are me, and I am you. We have long since merged into one."
"If that's the case, can I also successfully summon a skeleton like you?"
Li Yiqing paused after hearing this and said reflexively: "That will have a great impact on your body!"
"Answer me." Qi Qiuxue once again tried her best to dodge the attack, holding Qian Qianjie tightly in her arms, "Is it possible or not?!"
"I can try," Li Yiqing could only say, "but if I succeed in summoning a skeleton, it means punishment will also befall you. With Ah Xue's current health, she may not be able to survive long enough to leave the game."
"It doesn't matter." Qi Qiuxue shook her head in response, "I don't have any choice anymore."
"I've wronged you," she said. "You have to die with me."
She didn't feel too sad when she said this, and she didn't even ask Li Yiqing whether he was willing or not, because she knew how Li Yiqing would answer.
She just asked her in a very gentle tone: "A Qing, are you afraid?"
Li Yiqing quickly gave an answer: "Of course I'm not afraid."
"Let's try it then." They said in unison.
When she raised her eyes again, Qi Qiuxue's pupils turned blood red in an instant. At the same time, a huge black shadow suddenly appeared in the dark night sky. It was a terrifying skeleton. Strong winds swept around it, whistling like roars. Its body became larger and larger, and more and more obvious, and it hovered above the house.
Then, he rushed up at almost instantaneous speed and bit the monster's neck.
The monster was taken far away in an instant and could no longer cause any harm to Qi Qiuxue. Even though it could not be killed completely, the skeleton still killed it over and over again as if to vent its anger, biting it into pieces, reassembling it, biting it into pieces again, and reassembling it again.
This was a one-sided torture. Countless blood and flesh fragments fell from the sky, scattering on the ground with a crackling sound. Perhaps frightened by such a scene, the monsters that were attacking other players stopped briefly and looked up at the sky in horror.
“…”
The moment the skeleton was summoned, Qi Qiuxue's health points were drained by more than twenty points, leaving only single digits. Her body was shaking and her legs were trembling. If it weren't for her strong willpower supporting her, she would have fallen down in an instant.
But this is not the worst outcome -
The punishment for using the skeleton really came upon her, and Qi Qiuxue found that her right arm was also broken.
The Qianqianjie that she was holding tightly in her hand fell to the ground along with her broken right arm. Qi Qiuxue wanted to pick it up reflexively, but found that she couldn't do it at all.
So after hesitating for half a second, she knelt down and bit Qian Qianjie in an awkward but determined posture.
She "grabbed" the Qianqian Knot from her hand, and then manipulated gravity again to make her body fly into the air. She reached the glowing point at the fastest speed and "placed" the Qianqian Knot inside.
"Thirty, twenty-nine, twenty-eight..."
She counted silently in her mind along with the system until she reached zero.
[Congratulations to the player for completing the sacrifice and successfully clearing the level! ]
In an instant, both the monster and the blood on the ground disappeared, the sky lit up again, and the warm sunlight spread across the earth.
Five figures suddenly appeared at the square table closest to the stage. They were Madam Han, Master Li, and several other main NPCs. They stared at Qian Qianjie in the center of the stage with empty eyes, with strange and satisfied smiles on their faces. Something was wriggling in their rotten skin: flies and maggots.
Qi Qiuxue fell from the stage.
All the players rushed forward together and caught her steadily.
The system prompt sounded again, finally announcing the successful completion of this copy.
