Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 838 Induction

Hearing Fang Youhua say this, Yang Hua could only suppress his fear and anxiously rub his hands together, trying to warm them up.

I hope so... I hope so...

Yes, the group that's "alive" is all very strong. If they just play it safe in the early stages, they can find a way to get ahead in the dungeon progress later on...

While Yang Hua was busy praying silently, Yu Shijiu and An Jie were already preparing to forcibly "kill" the leading grass carp.

Of course, this is under the premise that the grass carp "refused to cooperate".

It would be best if the other party could handle the situation gently and cooperate.

Anjie's dagger was already poised to strike.

Yu Shijiu looked at the grass carp that was swimming in place, his gaze falling on Thumbelina's uneasy face.

Thumbelina.

Yu Shijiu smiled at Thumbelina, "What do you think?"

Thumbelina, taken aback by the sudden question, hesitated before opening her mouth: "...What?"

Yu Shijiu didn't mind her constant blank and confused expression. He patiently explained the current situation and continued:

"If this cute little fish doesn't sing us a song, we might all be snatched back by the toad to be his wives."

He sighed as he spoke, glancing meaningfully at Thumbelina's suddenly pale face:

"It's not just us, it's you too."

Even if Thumbelina is the protagonist of this game instance, she is not necessarily completely safe.

Yu Shijiu had already discovered this point—Thumbelina's complete safety depended on the fact that some players were still alive.

If all the players die, can Thumbelina really still be "safe"?

The answer is of course impossible.

Thumbelina's face turned deathly pale. She lowered her head anxiously and looked at the grass carp that had circled around her that day, beginning to plead.

"Little fish...please...please save me...I don't want to marry them...I really don't want to live with toads for the rest of my life...Waaaaah..."

Thumbelina grew increasingly panicked as she spoke, but in the end, the entire pond was filled with her cries.

Just like in the original story, the kind fish surrounding Thumbelina began to feel sorry for her and sympathize with her being "forced into marriage".

Including that grass carp that suddenly fell silent.

The grass carp's gaze was fixed on Thumbelina, its human-like pupils flashing with all sorts of strange and complex emotions, before it finally let out a slow sigh.

Gulu gulu——

Yu Shijiu and the others watched as the grass carp exhaled more bubbles. After the bubbles completely dissipated, the grass carp slowly blinked its eyes and began to sing as its mouth opened and closed.

"Fish, fish..."

The grass carp emitted the same singing sound as before.

"You all know that I was kidnapped by an ugly toad and is to be his bride, right? Waaaaah... I don't want to be a toad's bride, I don't like it, I don't like them..."

"..."

Yu Shijiu and the others exchanged glances, all seeing the seriousness in each other's eyes.

Sure enough... the "distress song" at the beginning wasn't sung by Thumbelina, but by the grass carp that had been hiding at the bottom of the pond.

"Don't make a sound later."

Anjie instantly realized something and quickly said, "It's impossible for both the strange fish and the grass carp to be able to transform. They'll likely attack the direction of the sound, just like before—"

Anjie's words suddenly disappeared from her mouth.

Before she had finished speaking, while the grass carp continued its song, and while the toads relentlessly pursued her, the quiet pond surface began to boil once again.

"Help me... help me..."

The girl's shrill voice seemed to be weeping blood, and the grass carp sang again and again, becoming more and more passionate amidst the boiling water.

Yu Shijiu suddenly felt uneasy.

He looked down at the grass carp that were once again using their heads to push away the lotus leaves, and then, as if sensing something, glanced at the singing grass carp next to Thumbelina.

and many more……

Yu Shijiu suddenly realized something.

The grass carp that pushed Thumbelina onto the lotus leaf was busy singing and "summoning" the monster fish to fight the toad—but what about Thumbelina?

Is Thumbelina destined to stay in one place?

Yu Shijiu's heart sank suddenly.

The protagonist of this game instance is Thumbelina—if the protagonist of the game instance is forcibly left in a storyline that does not belong to her, can the subsequent storyline continue?

Can these players, who are only considered supporting characters, really clear the dungeon safely?

Upon realizing this, Yu Shijiu almost stopped breathing. He quickly stood up and tried to reach for Thumbelina's lotus leaf—but it was too late.

The grass carp on the lotus leaf beneath Yu Shijiu propelled him, along with the lotus leaf, towards the distant shore of the pond, so far from Thumbelina's location that it was impossible for him to even reach out.

Bang bang bang!

Yu Shijiu felt as if a bomb was stuck in his throat. He clenched his fists, caught between a rock and a hard place, and opened his mouth.

Opening your mouth will cause the swarming monsters to shift their attack targets.

If she doesn't open her mouth, Thumbelina will likely be left behind.

Unless, unless Sister An and the others also thought of this—

Yu Shijiu's pupils suddenly dilated.

Behind Thumbelina, a trembling hand shakily pulled her onto the edge of the lily leaf, causing them to swim towards the shore.

Yes—Xu Han.

Xu Han, who was usually timid, was stretching out his hand to grab Thumbelina's lotus leaf, and even gave a simple smile to Thumbelina, who was kneeling on it with a terrified look on her face.

Behind him were Anjie and Chen Yi, who had also reached out their hands and then pulled them back.

Yu Shijiu was genuinely surprised.

He breathed a sigh of relief, his gaze sweeping back and forth across Xu Han's face.

Unlike some players in the town, Yu Shijiu never thought Xu Han was useless.

Most people think that Xu Han is timid and afraid of ghosts, and doesn't even have much offensive or resistant power. They believe that he was just lucky to be chosen by An Jie and the others. But in fact, Xu Han not only didn't hold them back, but even helped them a lot.

He is a pure support player with a simple personality.

He can only help when his companions are injured, but most of the time, given Yu Shijiu and An Jie's abilities, Xu Han can only lend a hand when they are on the verge of death.

However, the talent skill that can save "dying" players is already a rare find, ranking among the top twenty in Dawn of the game.

But everyone thought Xu Han was unreliable.

Although Yu Shijiu liked Xu Han very much, she subconsciously felt that the other party was not very smart.

But judging from the current situation, it turns out that Xu Han was the first to realize that Thumbelina shouldn't have been left here.

Yu Shijiu stared intently at Xu Han for a long time, overturning her previous assessment of him.

Han Ge is still very smart.
