“How much force does it take to twist equipment like this?” Boyang’s expression darkened slightly.
The opponent was not only mysterious but also possessed terrifyingly immense strength!
“Ayu has really become this strong.” Dancing Elephant narrowed his eyes, his face grave.
Not long into the game, he had already encountered a player mutation once.
That [Xian Hong Zang Li] had turned into a monster, and its strength had clearly increased by a great deal.
If it weren’t for their low starting levels, whether they could have survived this long would have been doubtful.
Ye Lian squatted down silently, grasped the collar twisted from the equipment with both hands, effortlessly tore it open, and tossed it aside.
Seeing this, all the players except Bai Xue’s faces shifted slightly.
The power of the White Knight was also terrifying to the extreme!
Surprise was followed by a sense of relief.
“The fatal wound is on the neck?” Ye Lian glanced toward the side of the neck that had been previously obscured.
There were many small holes.
Lifting his head, they saw dense small holes on the back of his neck as well.
Hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but think: the major arteries were all cut, if the fatal wound isn’t on the neck, then where else could it be?
Dancing Elephant, Boyang, and Xiao Tiao carefully observed and finally made out those small holes clearly.
Though called small holes, they weren’t exactly tiny.
Because of the bloodstains, they weren’t easy to notice at first.
“Were these caused by something stabbing him like this?” Boyang asked, puzzled.
As a fatal wound, this kind of injury was truly bizarre.
“Doesn’t look like stabbing. Could it have been bitten by something?” Dancing Elephant said uncertainly.
“If there’s something that could bite wounds like this, I think it’s the Seven-gilled Eel,” Xingyue said.
She had witnessed too much death on this journey; her mindset was no longer the same as ordinary people’s.
Yet she still felt some emotion over [Who’s Chicken]’s death.
If Dancing Elephant hadn’t stopped her from volunteering, she might have been the one who died here.
“Seven-gilled Eel?” Ye Lian stood up and looked at Xingyue, curious.
“The so-called Seven-gilled Eel…” Xingyue sounded a bit nervous, as if speaking to some important figure.
***
After a pause, she returned to normal.
“It’s also known as the Eight-eyed Eel, a fish-like creature living in rivers and oceans.
Its body is soft, scaleless, with seven pairs of gill sacs.
Its mouth is shaped like a funnel-shaped sucker, filled with countless keratinous teeth.”
After hearing the description, Ye Lian’s mouth twitched slightly. What kind of weird fish was that?
No, what kind of monster was that? Did such a creature really exist in reality?
“Master, I heard the Seven-gilled Eel tastes quite good,” Bai Xue said.
“You want to eat it?” Ye Lian looked over.
Bai Xue shook her head. “Not at all.”
What a joke—who could eat something so disgusting!
“Back on topic.” Ye Lian withdrew her gaze and looked at [Who’s Chicken]’s corpse. “Assuming he was killed by a monster like the Seven-gilled Eel, how did the other side move him here without anyone noticing?”
“Could it have flown here?” one player asked.
Boyang’s look at him was like he was staring at an idiot.
Flying?
A fish-like creature big enough to bite off a person’s head flying in the sky—that image was bizarre no matter how you imagined it.
And unbelievable.
“A flying Seven-gilled Eel holding a person in its mouth—is that possible?” Xingyue admired the player’s imagination a little.
“Impossible, right?”
“Although we can’t use common sense to understand this Dreamland Space, a creature like that is just too strange.”
“Yeah.”
“Wait, maybe we’re jumping to conclusions,” Dancing Elephant interrupted.
“The opponent might not look exactly like a Seven-gilled Eel.
Maybe only its mouth is similar.
Think about it carefully: if that monster was just a slippery thing, how did it take off [Who’s Chicken]’s equipment and twist it into a collar?
“How did it hang him on the tower to bleed him out?”
“That’s right, that’s obviously unrealistic,” Ye Lian said.
“Master, I think that monster should have flying ability,” Bai Xue looked upward.
“We searched the surrounding area carefully before and found no trace left by the opponent.
That’s clearly abnormal.
But if the opponent’s mode of movement is flying, then it makes sense.”
“I see now! No wonder he disappeared so quickly!” Jimite suddenly understood.
From [Who’s Chicken] entering the alley to disappearing, it was no more than twenty seconds.
In such a short time, to capture a fully conscious person and sneak away without anyone noticing—
Unless it can fly!
