Life Dungeon Game

"Keep your distance and harass from the periphery."

He Ao whispered to Luo Luo, who was being pulled behind him.

Luo Luo knew she was being rejected, but after witnessing the monster's terrifying power, she understood the gap between herself and it. Staying here would only cause He Ao trouble, so she nodded slightly and instantly retreated.

Only now did He Ao have time to look at the monster in its entirety.

It resembled a short worm, its lower half attached to the carriage, its head slightly raised, the entire head consisting of only a single, densely packed mass of black arms.

A mouth as deep as an abyss.

Behind its mouthparts, below its head, in a neck-like area, are rows of jet-black tentacles that encircle its body like sunflower petals, surrounding its head.

This monster appears to have no skeleton; its body is composed of a jet-black substance that seems to absorb light, making its entire form resemble a moving night.

This monster must be the 'creation' of this vehicle, specifically placed here as a 'barrier' to stop those who want to go further.

As He Ao examined the monster, the monster was also 'staring' at him. A low roar sounded, and the mouthparts on the monster's head bloomed layer by layer like flower petals.

Amidst the roar, He Ao seemed to sense countless distorted and chaotic sounds, much like human screams.

"what!"

Luo Luo, standing at the edge of the carriage, trembled, clutched her head, and staggered to her knees. This level of mental attack was still too strong for her.

In reality, however, she was only suffering from the aftermath of the battle.

He Ao endured most of the frenzied screams.

After that roar, countless dark tentacles swarmed forward.

The monster also knew very well who the biggest threat was.

He leaped into the air, his figure flashing among the tentacles, occasionally slicing open the monster's tentacles with his Nightfall Dagger.

This monster is probably the strongest thing this vehicle can produce. The vehicle itself is only a B-class vehicle, so it's difficult to produce anything of the same class.

This monster seems to have reached the limit of C-level, even stronger than the berserker He Ao had encountered before.

Without the aid of extrasensory perception and divine consciousness, it would be difficult to defeat this enemy with just this physical body.

He Ao kept dodging.

This monster has an extremely strong regenerative ability. The wounds left on its body by the Nightfall Dagger are quickly healed by the new flesh that grows back. Although the healed parts are weaker than the original tissue, they do not affect the monster's movement.

As the battle progressed, Luo Luo's eyes could barely keep up with He Ao's speed, but through her long-cultivated combat skills, she could still clearly sense that He Ao was rapidly falling into a disadvantageous position.

He Ao seemed not to have expected this monster to be so strong.

She brandished her soft sword, wanting to rush over and draw the monster's fire to relieve He Ao's pressure, but as soon as she rushed out, she was swatted away by a tentacle and crashed into the hard carriage.

A trickle of bright red blood spilled from the corner of her mouth. She struggled to her feet and charged at the monster once more.

Then he was knocked away again.

The monster was completely absorbed by He Ao and dared not spare a single ounce of energy to kill her. It could only rely on instinct to knock her away.

As time passed, more and more tentacles surrounded He Ao, almost completely enveloping him.

He Ao seemed to have been driven to the brink of despair. He lunged forward and struck with all his might, severing a tentacle in front of him.

However, immediately afterward, another tentacle emerged from the side and stabbed towards his heart.

He Ao was too late to dodge and could only adjust his body with difficulty and roll to the side. The tentacles also changed direction, turning from stabbing to lashing.

Sharp barbs emerged from the tentacles, and the enormous tentacle lashed out...

A large chunk of flesh was instantly scraped off He Ao's body.

He Ao seemed to have his mobility affected, staggering forward and falling. Immediately, countless tentacles swarmed up, and the monster's huge mouth opened up.

At that crucial moment, the monster's movements slowed down, and the terrifying sense of oppression lessened slightly.

In that instant, a smile appeared on He Ao's lips, and the consciousness from the original body descended upon this clone.

The terrifying mental power of the Hyper-Memory instantly unfolded, and the power from divine consciousness converged in He Ao's eyes.

over there!

He leaped into the air, and countless tentacles surged toward him.

A black dagger flashed by, and countless tentacles snapped in an instant.

He Ao had just left wounds on almost every tentacle. These wounds may not seem like much on their own, but when accumulated, they become vulnerable points that could change the course of the battle.

The breaking of the tentacles startled the monster, causing its body to stretch out like an extended spring, and its enormous mouth suddenly shot out, swallowing Heo whole.

"Hao Yi!!!"

Luo Luo, covered in wounds, collapsed to the ground, staring blankly at the scene of He Ao being 'eaten'.

However, the monster didn't care about any of that. After killing He Ao, it finally had the energy to attack Luo Luo.

Several severed tentacles that were growing new limbs suddenly surged out and rushed towards Luo Luo.

Luo Luo stared blankly as the tentacles rushed towards her; she no longer had the strength to dodge.

Just as the flying tentacles were about to pierce her body, the powerful limbs froze in mid-air.

As a result, the monster's enormous body also froze in mid-air.

hiss--

Countless twisted roars emanated from the monster's mouth, its enormous body seemingly possessing its own consciousness, and countless flesh and blood began to writhe and writh.

boom--

With a loud bang, countless pieces of dark flesh and blood splattered out and landed all over the carriage.

Some flesh and blood fell on Luo Luo, but she didn't have time to care about that now. She looked up at the spot where the monster had just stood.

A figure with a bloody, mangled back struggled to stand up in the very center of the bloody rain.

He Ao turned around and glanced at Luo Luo, a smile appearing on his face.

He destroyed the monster's energy gathering point inside the monster's body.

Although the smile was somewhat terrifying against the backdrop of scattered flesh and blood, Luo Luo felt a strange sense of relief.

"Let's go."

He took a step forward, but before his foot landed, he seemed to stumble due to loss of strength.

Having regained some strength, Luo Luo rushed over to help He Ao.

He Ao waved his hand gently in refusal and continued walking towards the end of the carriage.

At this moment, Jin Ya had already walked over, bypassing the blood and flesh on the ground.

The three of them walked together to the door of the carriage, but the door was still tightly closed.

He took out the disc, but this time, the carriage door did not open.

"what happened?"

Luo Luo glanced at the carriage door, reached out and tried to pry it open, but the door didn't budge.

At that moment, a soft rustling sound came from behind the three of them.

Luo Luo turned her head and saw that the scattered flesh and blood on the ground were beginning to gather towards the center, gradually reforming into a new body.

The body, the speed at which it gathers is not fast, but this undoubtedly proves it.

That monster is coming back to life!

Seeing this, Luo Luo suddenly felt discouraged. "Is this a dead end? This vehicle never even considered giving us a chance to pass?"

"No,"

He Ao shook his head, glancing at the disc in his hand. "This 'murder game' isn't over yet."

Luo Luo: "Huh?"

He Ao raised the round lamp in his hand, "Each lamp here represents a dead person."

Luo Luo counted, "There are six lights in total. There are eight players in total, and three are left. Five people have died."

At this point, she paused for a moment, "The numbers don't match, why?"

"Because this game has a ninth player, a third-party player who is neither on the killer's side nor on the good side,"

He Ao slowly put away the disc.

"I've been thinking, the killer kills all the good people, the good people find the killer, and the henchmen help the killer. So what should the victory conditions be for this third-party player?"

"Until I saw the prompt to enter this carriage, I finally figured out the key point: the ninth player's mission begins after one side wins, and her mission is..."

"'Kill everyone'."

He Ao turned around and looked at the blonde woman who was now very close behind him, still wearing a blank and dazed expression. He smiled in Middle-earth.

"Am I right? The ninth player, or rather, Miss Arcane Mage?"

“I’m very curious,”

The blonde woman's somewhat unfocused pupils focused instantly, her gaze sharp as an eagle's. Standing before her, meeting her eyes was like looking directly at a high and mighty queen. She asked with a smile in fluent, clear Middle-earth language,

"When did you start doubting me?"

"You can speak Chinese?"

Luo Luo stared blankly at Jin Ya, then her expression became somewhat unnatural. "So you understood everything I said back then?"

"Drink more milk, little sister."

Jin Ya winked at Luo Luo, her gaze lingering on her chest.

"Who's young anymore! I'm not young anymore! I'm thirty!"

Luo Luo retorted, her face flushed.

This time, however, Jin Ya did not look at her, but smiled at He Ao, as if waiting for He Ao's reply.

"Actually, it's not that complicated, cough..."

He Ao said softly, coughing weakly.

"Once we deduce that the chef died when he passed through the tunnel for the second time, the rest becomes much simpler. The chef's glove must have fallen into the hands of the person who killed him. Therefore, the person standing in the kitchen after the second tunnel is most likely the murderer who killed the chef."
