Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 185 is so unfair to the players.

The ancestral hall was filled with a strong smell of blood.

Yu Shijiu smiled and tore off a piece of his clothes, wrapping it around his injured arm several times. When he looked up again, his eyes were filled with blood-red spider webs.

"Kill!"

The boy's clear voice couldn't hide a strange pleasure. As his conscious mind completely drifted away, Yu Shijiu's smile grew wider and wider.

"Haha, you're too slow!"

Yu Shijiu's pupils were bloodshot as he wielded his machete with tremendous force, repeatedly striking the body of the human-headed earthworm.

It has to be said that while a large body may seem intimidating, it also makes one a very large target.

The human-headed earthworm's attacks were repeatedly countered by Yu Shijiu's chaotic and fierce slashing, and in a short while, its entire body was covered with wounds of various depths and conditions.

The smell of blood and mucus filled the air, and many players couldn't help but gag.

Meanwhile, each time the human-headed earthworm was slashed, it let out a heart-wrenching scream, and the old people who were supposed to be "reborn" froze in place as if their engines had been deactivated.

Anli wasn't stupid. She looked at the strange old man in front of her who had been kicked towards the ancestral hall gate and was now standing still, feeling both happy and worried.

"So that's how it is. They can only return to normal after the 'God' dies..."

After An Li finished speaking in a low voice, when she turned to look at Yu Shijiu, her tired eyes were full of worry.

Ultimately, the reason they are able to withstand the attacks from the elders is because of Yu Shijiu's existence.

If Yu Shijiu hadn't repeatedly injured the "God," they would have already been transformed into "substitutes" in Changsheng Village by the old people.

It's just a mystery how the "God" will transform them into native residents of Changsheng Village.

"Roar--"

Another eerie old man, having completed his "rebirth," charged forward frantically, only to be driven back by the exhausted players. His eyeballs seemed to finally droop from their sockets.

—Even behind the eyeballs are segmented pieces of decaying flesh belonging to the earthworm's body.

vomit--

Even though players have gradually adapted during the resistance, they still can't stand seeing humanoid creatures rotting and becoming inhuman time and time again.

"Damn it!"

Huang Hao also felt nauseous, but when he turned his head and saw the figure that had already slashed the fire axe, he didn't dare to spit out a mouthful of filth.

There's no particular reason, I'm just simply scared.

Although Huang Hao didn't know why he was so scared.

...Maybe he confused himself with that tortured earthworm-like human head...

Huang Hao felt like he was about to get tendonitis in his hand. He endured the soreness and pain in his wrist, turned his head and yelled loudly at An Li, who was seemingly lost in thought beside him:

"Ugh! How long are we supposed to hold out?! It feels like three days have already passed?!"

Anli: "..."

She dodged another attack from a strange old man with some difficulty, and sighed:

"Sorry, not at the moment."

Huang Hao and the other exhausted players were on the verge of tears: "..."

They are just an ordinary group of players, and it is already remarkable that they have managed to hold on until now, but as of now, it seems that they are not making any difference at all.

Everyone could only retreat, advance, and retreat again under the attacks of the strange old men... Back and forth, even though the "rebirth" speed of the strange old men slowed down because of a player who was in a bloodthirsty frenzy, it could not stop their stamina from gradually decreasing.

It's true, I can't hold on much longer.

Anli was extremely anxious. She loudly encouraged the players around her who were retreating step by step... Suddenly she saw something, ran up quickly and kicked a strange old man who had split off earthworms far away.

The grotesque old man's head split open, revealing earthworm-like mouthparts that continuously oozed sticky fluid, which splattered all over the face of the player who was almost bitten.

The player, whose life had been saved by Anli, broke out in a cold sweat. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and quickly rubbed his wrist.

"I...I was just spacing out..."

Anli frowned: "Don't be distracted. If you had been bitten on the head just now, you might have died instantly."

The player was sweating profusely, nodding repeatedly.

"...I know, but, but we really, really don't have any strength left."

They kept resisting these strange old men who knew no pain and could not die. They were just flesh and blood and could not possibly keep charging forward tirelessly like them.

Anli understands this principle as well.

Her hands, hanging by her sides, were also trembling.

But she still whispered, "Wait a little longer, wait a little longer... Maybe he'll be a miracle?"

Even Anli herself didn't quite believe what she was saying.

She watched the boy fighting the "God" with his back to all the players, her heart pounding as she watched his every move—a swift dodge followed by an excited, red-eyed counterattack.

There is no doubt that Yu Shijiu is very strong.

But he is, after all, a human being.

Even if Yu Shijiu stood there tirelessly killing with his innate skill activated, he could only inflict a few more wounds of varying depths on the "God Lord"...

This is too uncomfortable.

That's very unfair.

Anli thought absurdly.

The "God Lord" cannot die, but players who activate the talent skill will temporarily lose the ability to move after the skill dissipates.

When Yu Shijiu completely loses his power, all the players in this ancestral hall will die.

Not a single one will be left alive.

Anli's hands, hanging by her sides, trembled even more violently. She looked blankly around at the dim candlelight, and all she saw were players with blood-covered faces desperately trying to stop them, and—those old men who were no longer recognizable as human, but just clumps of purplish-red rotting flesh wrapped in earthworm bodies.

Can such a body, such a puppet body that has been completely controlled... really leave Changsheng Village safely?

Anli looked at the grotesque old woman who had been beheaded but was still screaming and walking forward, and closed her eyes in pain.

The mechanics of this instance are so unfair.

They are just human beings.

Why are there these unkillable monsters in the dungeon?

They must have weaknesses.

Anli wiped away the tears that welled up from her despair and ran forward, sniffling, to catch a female player who was clearly exhausted. She then took her place and continued the attack from the local monster elders.

But we still have to live.

Even living for just one more minute or second is still living.

Inside the cave.

Lin Feng was covered in a lot of transparent mucus, and the strong earthy smell made her feel nauseous, but she forced herself to endure it.

Holding the light source she was using, she stumbled and climbed into the hole.

On the last page of the notebook, before losing consciousness, the volunteer teacher named Gong Nian managed to write down a solution to leave the "ancestral hall".
