Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 874 Temptation

On the screen, the long-haired female monster did not immediately attack Anjie and Chen Yi, who were on high alert.

Its blurry "face" slowly turned, and the direction of its trembling long hair actually... slowly passed over them who were holding weapons, and stared straight at Yu Shijiu and Thumbelina!

No, to be more precise, he was "staring" at the dark purple plant with blood-red roots in Yu Shijiu's hand.

"Ho...ho..."

The long-haired woman emitted a hissing sound, almost like air leaking from her throat, carrying a hint of greed and urgency.

Thumbelina turned her head and saw this monster walking towards her. She let out a short scream, shook off Yu Shijiu's hand, and curled up, backing away.

He Lingling noticed that Thumbelina's face was now filled with pure fear in the face of the strange monster, and even the abnormality that Thumbelina had shown before was overshadowed by this sudden fear.

Thumbelina's behavior seemed perfectly in line with the current reality to everyone, but He Lingling just felt that something was off.

Was it the timing of the long-haired female ghost's appearance that was wrong, or was Thumbelina's fear too intense?

In contrast to Thumbelina's fear, Yu Shijiu, whose hand she had shaken off, was completely the opposite.

He faced the approaching long-haired female monster alone, his face showing not fear, but rather a hint of... surprise? Or even a fleeting, almost pleasurable interest.

The next second, Yu Shijiu did not retreat, but instead took half a step forward and gently raised the plant in his hand, as if he were showing off a very interesting collectible.

"Do you want this?"

Yu Shijiu asked softly, his tone strangely calm.

The long-haired female monster paused in its movements, then let out an even sharper, more piercing howl. Its entire figure, like a shadow illuminated by candlelight, suddenly pounced towards Yu Shijiu! Its speed was astonishing!

"Shi Jiu! Get out of the way!" An Jie shouted sharply, her body instinctively rushing forward, the broken shovel in her hand whistling as it slashed fiercely at the long-haired female monster's limp and tattered body!

Chen Yi also made his move almost simultaneously, sweeping his rusty shovel towards the long-haired female monster's lower limbs.

puff!

Ange's shovel pierced into the grotesque "body," but it didn't feel like she was cutting into humanoid flesh. It felt more like she was slicing into a clump of thick, cold, rotten mud, with almost no resistance.

The next second, an even stronger stench than before erupted.

The long-haired female monster, struck in the back, let out a sharp scream of pain (or perhaps shock), and a portion of her writhing hair suddenly coiled around Anjie's arm like a venomous snake.

Anjie felt a chill on her arm, and an icy coldness instantly spread from the point of contact, almost numbing half of her body.

A chill ran down her spine, and as the long hair wrapped around her again, she decisively opened her mouth wide and bit off the dense, surging strands of hair.

Talent Skill [Cleaner] - Current Status: Used.

The long hair that Anjie had bitten broke off cleanly with a "pain" and instantly retracted into the head of the long-haired female monster.

Chen Yi's sweeping attack missed its mark. The long-haired female monster's body twisted in a way that defied the laws of physics, avoiding the attack. More of her long hair, like a black tide, surged toward Yu Shijiu, who was holding the "herbs."

"Watch out, Shi Jiu!"

Xu Han, who was in the corner, screamed in fright and jumped around in a panic.
