Two eerie figures walked westward along the winding corridor, their hooks dragging on the ground, scraping against the stone slabs with a harsh, screeching sound.

Take a few steps, then chop.

The pine tree by the roadside was split in half, its crown smashed on the ground, its branches and leaves scattered.

The bonsai was swept away and shattered all over the ground.

Even the stones on the artificial hill were chopped into pieces.

Lin Sui'an watched as the two strange figures walked and smashed things along the way.

What a mess this once beautiful garden has become!

Her gaze passed over the eerie sight and landed on the lotus pond further away.

Lina is already underwater.

In the lotus pond, Lina was completely submerged, one hand gripping the crevice at the bottom of the stone platform, a reed tube in her mouth, and her nose pinched shut with her other hand.

The tip of the reed tube protrudes just two centimeters above the water surface.

She can hear sounds.

It's far away, but it's getting closer.

"boom."

Something broke.

"boom."

closer.

Lina's fingers began to tremble as she stared at the blurry light and shadows above the water, unable to make out anything.

Breathing comes in and out very lightly through the reed tube.

But in this environment, Lina wasn't sure if it was light enough.

She bit down on the reed tube and forcibly stopped breathing.

The air in my lungs begins to be consumed, and my chest feels tight.

Five seconds.

ten seconds.

"boom!!"

A tremendous impact exploded less than three meters above her head, the water surface shook violently, and the shockwave pushed Lina down a bit.

She almost let go.

The broken lotus leaves and silt stirred up the water, making it murky and impossible to see anything.

The sickle struck her less than a meter in front of her.

The reed tube in Lina's mouth was deformed from being bitten.

Closer.

Another half meter closer.

She's gone.

The second attack landed on her left side, splashing water onto her face.

The third blow landed on her right side, chipping off a corner of the stone platform, and the rubble slid down, grazing her arm.

Lina remained motionless, her face flushed red, her temples throbbing, and her vision beginning to blur.

I can't breathe.

Do not move.

It cannot make any sound.

The sounds of attacking overhead stopped.

The eerie footsteps moved along the edge of the pond, heading towards the reeds.

"Crack!"

The reeds were felled in swathes, the sound of the leaves cracking as dense as rain.

Right now.

Taking advantage of the noise of the reeds being cut, Lina took a deep breath.

The air rushed into my lungs from the reed tubes, carrying a fishy smell.

She almost choked, but managed to hold it in.

The bizarre attack continues; a large area of ​​reeds has fallen, but they haven't gone into the water, which is good news!

The footsteps faded into the distance.

Lina's fingers were still trembling. She gently inhaled and exhaled, slowly regaining her breathing rhythm.

Alive.

still alive.

Lin Sui'an watched the strange creature leave the reed marsh and then looked away.

Lina is fine.

Just as she was about to change her perspective, her peripheral vision caught sight of the northeast corner of the garden.

A figure is running along the corridor.

He was fast, took long strides, was 1.7 meters tall, and had blond hair that swung back and forth behind him.

Lydia, the Bear Country.

Two strange figures were chasing her from behind.

They weren't particularly fast, but they were tireless, swinging their hooks forward every few seconds, striking the pillars and stone slabs of the corridor, sending fragments flying.

Lydia was fast, so the twenty meters were still relatively safe for the time being.

But Lin Sui'an noticed the problem after a few seconds.

Her pace slowed, and the distance between her steps shortened.

Eighteen meters.

Sixteen meters.

Fifteen meters.

Lydia's strength is declining.

Lin Sui'an sat up straight and glanced at Lydia's running route.

The corridor is curved, encircling a pond, and connects to a straight path at the front, which ends at a courtyard wall.

Dead end.

Lydia felt like her legs were no longer her own. The speed potion from the last game allowed her to escape when danger struck, but now she felt like she couldn't run anymore.

However, the strange creature behind her never gave up its pursuit. The flying pebbles from its attacks would occasionally hit her, and blood flowed from her forehead. She didn't even have time to wipe it away.

Am I going to die? Lydia was unwilling to accept it, and she began to look around for a way out.

There was no hiding place, no hiding place, still no hiding place. She heard the attacks behind her getting closer and closer, and she was filled with despair.

Just then, she saw the player from the Dragon Kingdom in the distance! Right there on the southwest wall! Staring at her without any obstruction!

Why didn't they attack her? Was that a safe spot?

Lydia felt a surge of hope. Would she be safe once she got there?

"Spasija!" (Help!)

Lydia's loud cries for help excited the two monsters behind her even more. Lin Sui'an even saw monsters from other directions hear the sound and rush towards her.

"stupid."

Lin Sui'an muttered something, and although he couldn't understand what she was saying, he felt that it was a plea for help.

She stood up, but instead of jumping off the wall, she walked a few steps eastward along the top of the wall and stepped onto the eaves connecting the pavilion.

She was barefoot, her toes gripping the roof tiles, and she moved forward step by step.

Next to the pavilion was a pine tree, whose branches stretched out more than two meters, connecting directly to a small pavilion.

The pavilion was located just across a pond from the straight path Lydia was about to reach.

Lin Sui'an squatted on the eaves of the pavilion and took out two small pebbles from his pocket.

She glanced at Lydia and at the strange distance between them.

It's already twelve meters, there's no time to lose.

"Swim across, swim across the pond!" Lin Sui-an said, pointing to the pond.

Lydia understood. To get to the safe zone, she had to cross the pond first. The fastest way to get to the other side was to swim!

But her swimming speed would inevitably slow down, and the monster would definitely attack her.

What should I do? Should I keep running around the pond and then cross it? Or should I swim across?

Another attack landed, a pebble struck her head, and another bloody gash appeared.

It was too late. The eerie sight was getting closer and closer. Who knew how far it would be to get around it? Her physical strength wouldn't allow it.

Swim across, and perhaps there's still a glimmer of hope.

Thinking of this, she no longer hesitated and turned to rush towards the pond. In that instant, a strange attack landed where she had been standing.

"Thump."

The sound of water entering was much louder than the sound of running; the attack angle was strangely adjusted.

Seeing Lydia jump into the pond, Lin Sui'an no longer hesitated and threw the first pebble towards Lydia's right side of the pond.

"Thump."

The sound of a pebble hitting the water drowned out the sound of swimming, and the strange attack landed where the pebble was.

But as the water surged, Lydia lost her balance, and with her strength exhausted, her leg cramped.

Strangely, they arrived at the pond, but Lydia had not yet come ashore.

"Thump."

Another pebble landed to Lydia's right, and the ripples pushed her to the left, placing her directly opposite the pavilion.

Lin Sui'an frowned. What's wrong with this person? Why is he stopped in the middle of the pond and not moving? Keep swimming!

"Spasija!" (Help!)

Lydia sank into the water, then rose again, then sank again, then rose again...

What's going on here? I don't understand. Aren't you going to run away?

Lin Sui'an scratched his head, continuing to throw pebbles while thinking.

Hmm? She only has five pebbles left in her pocket. Should she throw them or not?

"An'an, this is Jiang Lai. The Russian athlete has a leg cramp and can't get off the boat normally. Can you help her get off the boat while ensuring your own safety?"

After the static in his ear, Jiang Lai's voice rang out, and she quickly explained the current situation to Lin Sui'an.

Lin Sui'an listened while tossing small stones: "Okay~"

Lin Sui'an stuffed the last two pebbles into his pocket, picked up a tile, and threw it at the pond behind Lydia as she sank into the water.

"Thump!"

The tiles shattered on the ground, and the strange attacks landed all at the source of the sound in the pond, causing the water to surge forward violently.

Lydia, who had just surfaced from the water, felt a push from behind, and the water pushed her to the edge of the pond. With all her might, she climbed ashore.

Soaked to the bone, with a bleeding wound on her back, she could no longer hold on and lay down on the shore, gasping for breath.

The sky was blue, and there were white clouds. If it weren't for the eerie sounds and screams, how beautiful it would be.

"Shh!"

Lydia saw the Dragon Kingdom player sitting in the pavilion make a quiet gesture towards her.
