Chapter 566 I really don’t want to die
The momentary feeling of powerlessness made her almost lose her balance and fall to the ground.
She was currently at the edge of her treehouse, only thirty or forty meters away from the treehouse.
What made her uncomfortable was that it was at the peak of the scorching heat at this time, and the harsh sunlight shone directly on her body, causing her exposed skin to feel stinging.
Moreover, the temperature is also very hot, about 50 degrees, which is not something ordinary people can bear.
Fortunately, she is no longer an ordinary person. Whether it is the sun or the heat, apart from making her feel a little uncomfortable, it cannot cause any substantial harm to her.
In his hand, the crystal ball used to convey information became brighter and brighter under the sunlight.
Her body also became weaker and weaker.
"This crystal ball..."
Shi Wanyun immediately realized that his weakness was not caused by the high temperature and sunlight, but by...
The crystal ball in her hand is absorbing her power?
The crystal ball in his hand suddenly emitted heat that could burn someone.
She made a prompt decision and immediately threw the crystal ball in her hand.
Even though the crystal ball contained very important information, she threw it away.
She felt that if she continued to hold the crystal ball, she might faint from the heat and exposure due to weakness.
That would be too dangerous!
Although she is not hurt now, it is not certain that she fainted in this environment. Long-term exposure to the sun and high temperature can kill people!
Not to mention the ferocious beasts that are likely to appear outside the tree house, which is the biggest threat.
The crystal ball rolled on the ground twice, rolling to a place seven or eight meters away from her, shining brightly in the sunlight.
Shi Wanyun stumbled, finally unable to support his body and fell to the ground.
She smiled slightly.
Recently, she always felt that she had experienced such involuntary things many times.
Sure enough, although she can be said to be the strongest group of survivors in Area 1, she is still too weak in the face of the crises in this world.
...What about Xu Xin?
How strong is Xu Xin, her savior and her assassination target?
She sighed softly and was just about to push her body up to stand up. Suddenly, a crisis arose in her heart again.
She immediately turned her head and carefully observed the situation around her.
Then, her pupils instantly contracted.
...What do you really want?
She saw mutant creatures leaning out their huge bodies from behind the trees.
They were all quite large, and their bodies were covered with scarlet blood stripes. They were all looking at her, and most of them showed their sharp fangs.
She even saw the slightly opened mouths of these mutated creatures drooling outward.
It was as if a group of extremely hungry beasts had seen an extremely delicious meal!
Shi Wanyun could directly feel the strong hostility from these mutated creatures.
It seemed like the next second, these guys would pounce on her and tear her apart.
Why is her treehouse surrounded?
...that crystal ball?
Now is not the time to think about this!
She pushed herself up, trying to get up from the ground, and then ran to her tree house.
However, her legs did not obey her command at all.
As soon as she stood up, she fell to the ground again because her legs were weak.
……Why?
Why does the crystal ball make her so weak? Why were a group of mutant creatures attracted?
Is she really...dying?
She wanted to get up again, but... it was too late.
The crystal ball's white light seven or eight meters away from her was mixed with traces of blood-red light.
Then, the mutated creatures around her tree house suddenly rioted collectively!
In her horrified eyes, countless mutant creatures emerged from the surrounding jungle and rushed towards her!
But she couldn't even stand firmly and had no ability to escape!
Her treehouse is obviously dozens of meters away from her!
"Crack!"
The heavy crossbow on her treehouse activated!
The mutated biomass has entered the enemy-seeking range of the Treehouse Heavy Crossbow!
"Ouch...!"
A hyena with blood streaks all over its body was directly penetrated by the heavy crossbow and stuck on the ground, wailing.
At the same time, several mutated creatures were hit by heavy crossbows, and several wailing sounds were heard for a while.
Because of these pitiful wails, the herd's progress was halted for a moment.
"There is still a chance!"
For a moment, Shi Wanyun's heart, which was already close to despair, once again felt a glimmer of hope.
She looked at the crystal ball that was seven or eight meters away from her, and for a moment she regretted that she had thrown the crystal ball so far.
If the crystal ball is stored, will the mutated creatures around it stop rioting?
She wanted to get up to get the crystal ball, but she was so weak that her legs could not support her body at all.
Gritting her teeth, she stopped worrying about anything and crawled toward the crystal ball.
Because she pursues the principle of acting alone, there are a large number of heavy crossbows on her tree house used to protect the tree house, and each of them is five-round fully loaded.
With such a large number of heavy crossbows coming out, the surrounding mutated biological groups were temporarily suppressed.
Shi Wanyun, on the other hand, was staggering forward on his hands and feet.
Her whole body was weak, and the unevenness of the ground made her arms and knees that touched the ground extremely painful.
Finally, before this group of mutant creatures pretending to be crazy could hurt her, she caught the crystal ball that was still emitting dazzling white light and traces of blood-red light.
For a moment, she felt that her palms were severely burned.
It was also at this moment that she put the crystal ball into her backpack.
She immediately looked at the mutated creatures around her. As a result, these creatures were still attacking her crazily.
Still consider her a target!
no!
She looked back at her treehouse.
The distance of more than twenty meters was too much for her to pass in her current state!
For a moment, she wanted to throw the crystal ball directly.
It should be this crystal ball that attracts mutant creatures. As long as she throws it out, she won't be noticed, right?
But... with her current physical condition, she simply cannot throw the crystal ball very far!
And this crystal ball also contains information that is crucial to her life and death...
She instantly saw the ring on her finger.
For a moment she thought of what No. 5 said.
Fruit No. 5: A backpack cannot be regarded as a space storage tool, but at best a compression tool. But this ring is a real space tool!
Will it have any effect if I put a crystal ball into a ring?
In a critical moment, she couldn't think too much.
Just do it!
She immediately turned the ring.
There was a loud "clang" sound, and a huge metal pillar instantly stood on the spot, causing the entire ground to tremble and causing the surrounding mutated creatures that were about to break through the defense line to pause.
The crossbow bolts of the Treehouse Heavy Crossbow have been completely used up.
Last chance!
Shi Wanyun immediately turned the ring and put the crystal ball into the ring, which could only hold one item.
The moment it was put in, the roars of the surrounding beasts suddenly became much lower.
"Is it...successful?" Shi Wanyun sat weakly on the ground and looked around.
The blood patterns on these mutated creatures are no longer as scarlet as before, but dimmed, making them no different from ordinary mutated creatures.
They also stopped in place, looking at each other with the mutated creatures around them, as if they didn't understand why they were so crazy just now.
Shi Wanyun breathed a sigh of relief, leaning on the metal pillar that she had just taken out of the ring and standing on the ground, breathing lightly.
But she still didn't dare to move too much, but looked cautiously at the beasts that were no longer attacking at this time.
Although this group of mutant creatures is no longer as crazy as before, but... they are still brutal mutant creatures.
Even if they are not in a crazy state, these mutated creatures are still likely to notice her and attack her.
In her current state, she had no power to fight back.
"Don't pay attention to me anymore, leave quickly..." Shi Wanyun had no choice but to mutter silently in his heart.
But...
Things didn't go as smoothly as she thought.
Several mutated creatures that were close to her still noticed her "delicious meal".
They walked towards her slowly.
At this time, Shi Wanyun's already weak body was aggravated by the violent rolling and crawling movements just now. At this time, she could not even lift her hands.
"Is it completely over..." Shi Wanyun had a hint of despair in his eyes.
Probably because she experienced the extreme fear and panic caused by the monster's gaze, she did not show any signs of losing her temper when surrounded by mutated creatures.
Instead, he sat there and looked at the sun with its scorching light.
"It's so glaring... My eyes hurt..." Shi Wanyun felt a sting in his eyes, and his vision began to slowly blur and turn red.
"Today's sunshine...is it so dazzling?" she murmured to herself.
In her blurred vision, she saw several mutated creatures rushing towards her.
"I really... don't want to die..."
……
The scene ended abruptly here.
Xu Xin felt pitch black again.
He opened his eyes and found that Shi Wanyun was no longer leaning against his forehead, but was looking sideways.
"Next, what happened to you?"
"Been bitten by a wild beast." Shi Wanyun said softly.
Really bitten?
"But he survived." Xu Xin looked at her body.
In perfect condition, nothing missing.
"Dead. He died once." Shi Wanyun looked at him, his eyes slightly dull, "Been bitten to death."
Dead...
For a moment, he thought of Lou Feier and the others.
Resurrection from near death?
In other words, she was... bitten to death by those mutated creatures?
"It hurts. That's why I interrupted the memory." Shi Wanyun said softly, "I don't want to experience the feeling of being bitten to death again."
...The way she died was indeed too tragic.
Ma Hongwei also had a very miserable death before, when he was crushed to death by a giant anaconda in the middle of the lake.
But the way he died, although it was indeed extremely hopeless and painful, was only a matter of a moment.
Being bitten to death by a wild beast would not be that pleasant.
"..." Xu Xin didn't know what to say, so she could only pat her shoulder lightly, "It's all over."
The moment Xu Xin patted her shoulder, her body trembled slightly.
"Let's continue." Shi Wanyun said softly, "Let's finish it quickly. I'm a little tired and want to rest."
"Okay."
……
When she opened her eyes again, she was still in her original position.
She looked at herself.
The clothes that he originally changed into on the World Tree were completely torn at this time, and basically the clothes were no longer attached to his body.
The skin exposed in the gaps in the clothes was smooth and traceless, looking delicate and fair in the sun.
It was as if she hadn't experienced anything just now, something that could almost drive people insane even if it was a hallucination.
But...
The large amount of blood that had not yet dried on the soil beneath her body truly proved that that incident really happened.
These are all traces left just now.
Her body had indeed been torn apart by the teeth of the beast.
"...My body has recovered?" She took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and began to think.
Although he had just experienced a very terrifying thing, Shi Wanyun's mental strength had been tempered by the World Tree monster and was very tough, and he would not completely lose control because of the tragedy just now.
Although her body is still shaking uncontrollably.
After experiencing that kind of pain, she didn't have the courage to face it again.
Only if you die once can you understand how terrible death is.
She raised her watch and glanced at the time.
Only twenty minutes had passed since she teleported back.
Doing the math, it's only been... about ten minutes since she was bitten until she lost consciousness?
This is really unexpectedly fast...
She thought she had been unconscious for at least a few hours...
That’s right!
That crystal ball!
She turned the ring subconsciously, then immediately reacted and stopped her movements abruptly.
I almost took out that damn thing again!
But...she needs the information in that crystal ball.
What is going on? Why does a crystal ball that transmits information almost cause the death of the person who receives the information...
The information in the crystal ball is necessary, but at least, it must first enter the tree house.
Otherwise, if the beasts are attracted again, she won't be able to waste a few lives!
She moved her body.
What surprised her was that although she felt extremely tired at this time, she was not as weak as before.
At least, it's still possible to move normally.
She stood up slowly, holding on to the metal pillar beside her.
【Do you want to activate the transmission device? 】
At this moment, a notification sound suddenly appeared in her mind.
She glanced at the metal pillar and didn't have the strength to think about anything else. She said softly: "Yes."
As soon as he finished speaking, with the sound of "click, click, click", the metal pillar suddenly began to rotate, and slowly began to sink below the ground.
The metal pillar that suddenly moved almost caused Shi Wanyun who was supporting it to fall again.
Fortunately, she still has some strength now and is stable.
The metal pillar rotates and sinks little by little, like a drill bit drilling a hole in the ground.
In the end, only the top ten centimeters of the short layer of the metal pillar was exposed, and the rest was completely submerged under the ground.
Immediately afterwards, purple-black lines appeared on the surface.
[Activation successful]
That's good...
At this time, Shi Wanyun didn't want to delve into this device anymore, she just wanted to go back to the tree house and have a good rest.
Quickly walking back to the tree house, she controlled the roots of the tree house and pulled herself back into the tree house.
Returning to her tree house, she suddenly felt an unparalleled sense of peace of mind and fell down on the sofa.
"Finally...back..."
Everything that just happened was like a dream...
"Hiss...!"
She suddenly gasped.
Because the ring on her finger suddenly became extremely hot!
Crystal ball!
What happened to the crystal ball!
She twisted the ring, trying to take it off, but the moment she twisted it, the crystal ball was released from the ring.
This made Shi Wanyun's heart suddenly lift.
Fortunately, although the crystal ball at this time was emitting a slightly dazzling white light, it did not have the same red glow as before.
She also immediately ran to the window and took a look outside.
Then he breathed a sigh of relief.
There was nothing unusual outside.
"What on earth is this..."
She turned back to look at the crystal ball, and her muttering stopped abruptly.
Above the crystal ball, a three-dimensional... monster image appeared.
That's because I'm sitting in a sitting position, but I can only see the image of the monster, not what's sitting under it, as if it's sitting in the air.
"Have you realized what despair is?" The monster once again controlled the somewhat unfamiliar human language, and said in a slightly joking tone, "Remember, if, I want, I can make you like this at any time, Life is worse than death.”
The appearance of the monster made Shi Wanyun's body a little stiff, and the words in its mouth made her pupils tremble.
Was what happened just now controlled by this monster... Thank you to [Guanhe 1987] for the reward of 100 starting coins, and [Fuxi] for the reward of 100 starting coins. Thank you both for your support, thank you!
Everybody, Happy New Year’s Eve and Happy New Year!
It feels a bit unkind to ask for leave for a limited time. I won’t ask for it today. I will ask for leave tomorrow and have a happy New Year. Everyone OVO
