Jin Qiu fiercely slammed against the cave walls.
Mud splattered everywhere, obscuring vision, and the reverberating echoes messed with hearing.
Shen MO kept a keen eye on Jin Qiu, continually adjusting his position to avoid being hit. He saw a large splash of water up ahead, and Jin Qiu no longer bounced back. He immediately sped up to run over there — “Stop! This way!”
Everyone crawled out of the snail shell and ran towards where Shen MO was going! Then, without a second thought, they began frantically digging in the
mud pit!
The scene was truly thrilling and absurdly comical!
Bai Youwei leisurely emerged from the snail shell, appreciating the spectacle stoically. Once she caught wind of certain hidden facts, she unconsciously exuded an aura of calm and leisure, beginning to enjoy this feeling of superiority that surpassed life and death.
It was exhilarating.
It was addictive.
Especially when she saw that man standing firm like a pine tree. Broad shoulders, solid back, slender waist, and those straight and powerful legs that were covered in wet mud…
It was getting more pleasing to the eye.
A handsome man is one thing, but the charisma displayed in the face of life and death is another. Shen MO, apparently, had both.
Bai Youwei felt she was indeed a bit offbeat, otherwise, why would she think of such irrelevant things at a time like this?
Then she thought: It’s the end of the world, is it not okay for one to be a bit abnormal?
She justified herself at ease.
“You know how to clear the game level?”
A voice suddenly came from the side, sounding deep, laced with chilliness.
Upon hearing the voice, Bai Youwei turned her head and saw Zhang Hua sitting on the edge of the snail shell, looking at her stiffly. The cold light reflecting off his glasses gave him an icy appearance.
Bai Youwei thought for a second, then turned the question back, “Do you know?”
Zhang Hua looked up slightly at the group of people frantically finding the ball in the distance; his cheerless look was chilling.
“Our methods are not the same.” he said.
Bai Youwei, curious, tilted her head and replied, “Oh? What’s your method?” Also, how do you know that it is not the same as my method?
Zhang Hua, however, did not elaborate further. He turned around and crawled back into the snail shell, muttering, “The Frog is coming, good luck.”
20 seconds was indeed too short, and the teasing voice of Jin Qiu came from inside the cave soon after —
“The Frog is coming, bugs, hide!”
Before the voice could fully echo, those searching for the ball scattered, each looking for cover!
But, the Frog came too swiftly this time!
The massive body lunged, pushing those who were running away up into the air, their bodies tossed aloft, then splashed back into the mud!
Halfway down, they were snatched by a bright red tongue and pulled into the monster’s mouth!
Bai Youwei was quite taken aback,
She initially assumed that the Frog would crawl out slowly as it had in the previous round, looking for a suitable target to attack. She did not expect that this time, with the Frog’s body not even halfway out, it would already be gaping wide, devouring people!
Professor Cheng in the distance shouted in horror: “Everyone, don’t move! Stay in the mud! Don’t move!!”
Frogs use dynamic vision to distinguish between “prey” and “scenery”. As long as one remains still, it often cannot tell the difference.
People who didn’t have time to hide in the snail shell all lay down, hoping to feign death to escape. But several of them fell with large splashes that gave away their location, and they were quickly rolled up like bugs by the Frog’s long tongue.
Bai Youwei furrowed her brows slightly.
She saw Shen MO moving counter to the crowd, fearless as he held the knife. He plunged it ruthlessly into the front leg of the Frog!
The Frog trembled in pain!
He took advantage of the situation, pulled out the blade, flipped and jumped onto the Frog’s back. He raised the knife again and stabbed it down with all his strength!
“Croak!”
A tearing sound echoed!
The croaking of the Frog and the sound of its skin tearing happened simultaneously!
Improved Frog legs began to jump, the mud vibrating as if waves were surging in the cave!
When the waves receded, Bai Youwei saw Shen MO half-hanging on the Frog.
In his hand was the knife wrapped in green skin, without a trace of blood. White meat peeked from the inside, as if he had written a long “1” on the Frog’s body —
The Frog was in such pain that it crazily dug itself into the mud!
“47 seconds.”
Bai Youwei heard Zhang Hua’s voice coming from not far away..
