Everyone's playing hide-and-seek: This crazy beauty has maxed-out third eyes.

Lin Sui'an stood up from the ground: "Let's go, let's add some more ingredients."

Lina had just swallowed the last bite of osmanthus cake when she wiped her mouth and asked, "What else?"

"The fire is going out, we need to keep it going, I still have to grab the last treasure chest."

Upon hearing Lina's translation, Lydia stood up and clapped the crumbs off her hands.

Just as the three were about to leave, Lina exclaimed in surprise, "Sui'an, you...you..."

"What?"

"Your ears!"

Lin Sui'an was somewhat confused and touched his ear.

Something is wrong!

Why are these ears closed? The once large earlobes are now pressed against the sides of the head, folded tightly, as if someone had pressed them down with their hands.

"boom!"

Before Lin Sui'an could figure out what was going on, a strange and loud attack sound rang out.

Lin Sui'an walked out of the kitchen and looked towards the strange creature. He saw it raise a hook and sickle and chop down at the nearest pine tree.

The trunk broke, and the crown fell off.

Immediately afterwards, the second strange creature slashed at the pillar in the corridor on the right.

The pillar is broken, and half of the corridor roof has collapsed.

The third, the fourth, the fifth...

The ten strange creatures moved simultaneously, heading in different directions and slashing at whatever they could get their hands on.

There is no goal.

There is no direction.

Indiscriminate attack.

Lina's face paled: "They...aren't responding to the sounds anymore?"

"Hmm." Lin Sui'an retreated to the kitchen and looked at the situation outside.

The firecrackers from all sides had interfered with their auditory localization, and their response was not to repair it, but to simply give up on hearing.

"Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater," Lin Sui'an muttered.

With the hearing function disabled, the sound source trap is useless, and even a large fire won't help. It seems there's no need to add anything.

Lydia peeked out from behind her, then turned around and said something.

Lina translated: "She said that with everything being cut down everywhere, it's too dangerous to stay on the ground, so it's better to go back to the roof."

Lin Sui'an didn't answer immediately, but glanced around.

The strange attack range is large, but it's all on the ground. The roof is relatively safe, provided you don't get hit by the pillars.

"OK."

She led the two away from the eerie atmosphere back to the original area, pointing to the hipped hill where Lydia had been before.

"You two go up there and stay put."

Before Lina climbed up, she glanced back at her and asked, "What about you?"

"I'm not going up; I'll wait down here."

"What are you waiting for?"

"Treasure chest".

Lin Sui'an pointed to the location where the first treasure chest had spawned.

"In the last round, there were two treasure chests, one spawned every hour and the other in the last half hour. If the pattern doesn't change, the last treasure chest should be coming soon."

Lina opened her mouth as if to say something, but Lin Sui'an pressed her back down.

"Stop talking nonsense and go up."

Lina bit her lip and climbed up.

Lydia had already settled down, glanced back at Lin Sui'an, and gave him a thumbs up.

Lin Sui'an ignored her, jumped down along the courtyard wall, and stood at the location where the treasure chest spawned.

The transformation hadn't worn off yet; she was dressed in red, carrying a hooked sickle, and looked no different from the other eerie creatures.

The indiscriminate attack continued in the distance, with rubble and wood chips flying everywhere. Several sections of the corridor collapsed, and even the stone railings by the pond were leveled.

Lin Sui'an counted the time.

Forty minutes.

Thirty-five minutes.

Thirty minutes countdown.

"bite."

The treasure chest has refreshed!

Lin Sui'an's eyes lit up, and without thinking, he grabbed the box and ran away.

Hmm? Why can't I pick it up?

[Item box detected. Open it?]

Without a second thought: "Open!"

[Countdown begins: 10, 9...]

At the same time, the ten strange creatures were already moving, all rushing towards the treasure chest.

Lin Sui'an tried hard to move the box, but couldn't!

They tried to pick the lock with a strange weapon, but couldn't open it!

I chopped with a hook and sickle, not daring to let go, for fear of having to start the countdown again!

Damn it! This dog game! How can it be so cheating!

[6...5...]

Something strange had already appeared in her field of vision.

[4...3...]

The first strange discovery was that someone of their kind was touching the box, but they didn't go forward; instead, they stayed in place to help guard it.

Lin Sui'an: ......Huh? You're actually a pretty nice person.

【2......】

All ten strange creatures came into view.

Then, Lin Sui'an noticed that these strange creatures seemed to collectively freeze for a moment. Immediately afterward, one of the creatures roared and pointed its weapon at her.

At the same time, Lin Sui'an's disguise disappeared.

Oh dear, it seems we've been found out.

【1......0】

[Startup successful.]

[Congratulations to Lin Sui'an, a player from the Dragon Kingdom, for winning this round's treasure chest reward!]

The notification sound went off again.

But that doesn't matter this time; the eerie ears are closed.

Two hooked sickles slashed down from the left and right sides. Lin Sui'an picked up the card inside, lowered her waist, and slid out almost touching the ground. The two blades crossed above her head, and the force of the slashing cut a deep groove in the ground.

She had just stood up when the third hooked sickle came crashing down from the front. She dodged to the side, the blade grazing her clothes and shattering into pieces on the bluestone slab.

Before she could catch her breath, the wind rose again behind her. Lin Sui'an instinctively lunged forward, rolling over as the hook swept past her back, the force of the wind causing her back to injure again.

The moment she flipped over, another knife slashed horizontally. She held the card she hadn't yet put away between her teeth, braced herself with her hands on the ground, and flipped to the side. The blade grazed her side less than three inches from her waist, leaving a large crater in the spot.

Lin Sui'an landed without pausing for even a second, and with a push of his toes, he shot forward.

The eerie creature pursued her, its hooked sickle striking down alternately. She dodged left and right, the stone slabs beneath her feet being shattered piece by piece.

As she reached the base of the wall, another blade slashed at her. She stopped abruptly, changed direction, and used the wall as leverage to flip over the blade, landing on top of the wall. The sickle behind her followed closely, striking the wall and causing bricks to crumble and the wall to shake violently.

Lin Sui'an dared not linger. She leaped from the top of the wall onto the branches of the bamboo grove next to her. The bamboo poles bent under her weight and then bounced back sharply, throwing her out of the air.

She adjusted her posture in mid-air, grabbed the edge of the eaves of the pavilion with both hands, swung her body, and hooked her toes on the corner of the eaves to flip up.

There was another chopping sound behind her; the sickle cut down the bamboo grove she had just stepped on, and the bamboo leaves and sections collapsed with a rustling sound.

Lin Sui'an stood firm on the eaves, without looking back, and climbed up two steps, using both hands and feet to reach the roof ridge of the pavilion.

Lina and Lydia were on the opposite hilltop, lying down and watching the whole thing, their eyes wide open.

Oh my god! This Chinese player is so amazing! She's an idol!

Oh my god! Holy Mary! Sui An is so amazing! I want to be her fangirl for life!
