Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 875 Speculation?

After finishing the book, Anjie regained most of her senses, and her stomach no longer felt as burning. Taking advantage of the slight reduction in the chill, she shook her head and looked at the long-haired female monster writhing and howling on the ground.

Yu Shijiu, who had just accomplished something significant, stood still, patting non-existent dust off his hands. He looked at the grotesque creature struggling in pain with a calm and unwavering gaze, as if he had just thrown away a piece of trash.

"Yes, that's it..." He Lingling, leaning against the corner of the wall, suddenly had a flash of inspiration and shouted out:

"Shi Jiu!"

"Wrong! Quickly remove that grass from her face and hide it! As long as it doesn't see it, nothing will happen!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Shijiu raised an eyebrow and stared at the long-haired female monster lying on the ground in front of him, covering her face, for several moments, seemingly hesitating about something.

His gaze inadvertently swept back to the corner where the girl, trembling with fear, was staring intently at the plant and the long-haired, eerie Thumbelina.

In Thumbelina's eyes, fear remained, but deep within, something else seemed to ignite... a mixture of doubt, bewilderment, and... a faint trace of dread?

Fear?

What is Thumbelina thinking?

Yu Shijiu didn't think too much. He turned his gaze back to the long-haired female monster tumbling on the ground. When she was clearly exhausted, he picked up his axe and strode towards her.

An Jie's pupils contracted sharply. She wanted to step forward, but Chen Yi stopped her.

"I go."

Chen Yi glanced meaningfully at An Jie's sunken belly and said, "I'll be careful not to let it hurt Shi Jiu."

Anjie: "..."

She gave a soft "hmm," covered her mouth which was constantly drooling, and quickly backed away.

Meanwhile, Xu Han, his face pale, glanced at the long-haired female monster on the ground and scrambled towards An Jie as fast as he could.

Wait...wait, Sister An, Sister An must be injured. I have to go, I have to go and treat her...

————Live Streaming Plaza

Lu Chusheng clenched his fist. Fatty lazily yawned beside him, then continued to rub its fluffy head against him.

Unfortunately, at this moment, nothing it does can attract its owner's attention.

Lu Chusheng's gaze shifted from the large screen to the lower section, to the betting screen in the "Thumbelina" guild tournament livestream room. The odds for option C—"Thumbelina Mutation"—seemed to fluctuate extremely slightly.

Option B – “A direct confrontation occurred and injuries were sustained” – now has a red “triggered” indicator that has been quietly lit up.

Lu Chusheng's breathing became slightly sluggish.

Below, a female player from the Poker League smiled, took out a large stack of golden-yellow points coupons with her right hand and placed them on the table, her lips moving constantly.

Lu Chusheng gazed into the distance—"Congratulations to all players who bet on the area where there is no injury. Please line up in an orderly manner to receive your double points coupons."

Lu Chusheng glanced at it only once before turning his gaze back to the small screen belonging to Yu Shijiu.

On the live stream screen, Yu Shijiu, holding an axe, slowly approached the long-haired female monster who was slumped on the ground and twitching, and slowly lowered his head...

—————Guild Tournament Dungeon: Thumbelina

Yu Shijiu stood next to the long-haired female monster. He refused Chen Yi's offer to take it, and squatted down on his own, looking down at the monster on the ground.

The long-haired woman's eerie face was still completely shrouded in thick, long black hair, with only her pale skin faintly visible between the strands, her full features completely obscured.

Yu Shijiu wanted to tidy up the hair on its face—but in the end, she obediently removed the "herbs" stuck to the long-haired woman's face.

"laugh--"

His actions involving "herbs" seemed to stimulate the long-haired female monster. The long-haired female monster, whose struggles had already weakened to the point of being negligible, seemed to regain her strength, and her body began to tremble violently.

"No...no...don't..."

The long-haired female monster murmured hoarsely, "Mine...mine...that's mine...mine...mine..."

Yu Shijiu quickly stuffed the "herbs" still covered in the other's flesh and blood into his pocket, then decisively raised his axe and chopped at the monster in front of him—

The next second, the long-haired female monster, who couldn't see any "herbs," vanished like a wisp of dust, turning into a pool of purplish-red liquid before everyone's eyes, and was eventually swallowed up by the earth.

"..."

Xu Han had already run to An Jie's side and started "treating" her by holding her hand—An Jie was not injured, it was just that the "binge eating" side effect of her talent skill had appeared after it was activated.

Fortunately, Xu Han's "treatment" had a somewhat comforting effect, which helped An Jie recover faster.

He Lingling walked out from the corner of the wall with a pale face. She glanced at Thumbelina, who was still hugging her knees and staring in fear, and walked towards Yu Shijiu.

That "herb"—

Before she could finish speaking, Yu Shijiu reached into her pocket to take something out—

"and many more!"

Startled, He Lingling's voice instantly changed. She quickly stopped Yu Shijiu from taking out the "herbs" and exclaimed in surprise:

"Don't take it out! At least not now!"

"why?"

Although Yu Shijiu was puzzled, he obediently let go and stuffed the "herbs" that almost reappeared back into his hand.

"..." He Lingling finally breathed a sigh of relief. "I suspected that this 'herb' was what attracted that monster, and now it seems that's true."

Otherwise, how do you explain the disappearance of the long-haired female ghost after the "herbs" disappeared?

"possible."

Yu Shijiu nodded and said seriously, "Doesn't that mean if I want to watch something being cut down to pass the time—"

"Wait a moment."

He Lingling felt a chill run down her spine and quickly interrupted Yu Shijiu's dangerous idea, saying with a headache:

"You can't do that. You absolutely mustn't do it alone."

Chen Yi chimed in, "Yeah, Shi Jiu, it's too dangerous for you to summon the monster all by yourself... We don't think you're incapable, we just think it's a bit too risky..."

why?

Before he could even utter those three words, Yu Shijiu swallowed them back and obediently nodded, "Oh, I understand."

In any case, the disappearance of the long-haired female ghost is indeed a good thing.

He Lingling's expression wasn't good. She seemed to have thought of something, and her gaze involuntarily glanced at Thumbelina again. After hesitating for a second, she spoke:

"And one more thing……"

He Lingling's voice was unusually low, and only Chen Yi and Yu Shijiu, who were close to her, could hear it: "I suspect that the appearance of that long-haired female monster is related to Thumbelina."

"Ok?"

Yu Shijiu asked in surprise, "Why?"
