With confidence, they emerged, but after enduring, they could only spot about ten creatures. Their eyes ached to the point of being unable to open, tears streaming down with a hint of blood.
It wasn't yet dark when the group arrived at their lodging. The veteran players shook their heads, realizing that relying on Bai Miao Miao was futile. They decided to make the most of their time by forming teams and heading out to see if they could discover alternative ways to progress.
Bai Miao Miao refused to share a bed with Jiang Bai, instead climbing onto the small upper bunk by herself and snuggling into the covers. Her mood felt as if someone had poured a bucket of ice water over her just as she was about to enjoy a warm bath.
Jiang Bai was speechless. "What are you upset about? This is normal; it's a Hell Difficulty game. Didn't you see that the Top Ten List has two people? Did you think you were so skilled that you could clear it solo?"
"I never expected you to be of much help, but who knows, you might be useful later on at some scenic spot. Just hang in there; even if you can't contribute much, I'll still look out for you."
His words offered no comfort, and after hearing them, Bai Miao Miao likely felt even worse. Yun Zhi Yue rolled her eyes from her bed. She hadn't intended to meddle further; for her, as long as the girl was alive, that was enough. But when she noticed the sudden appearance of the Devouring Flower Totem on her arm, Yun Zhi Yue's eyes lit up.
In the previous Beast World Dimension, Yue Shi had absorbed enough wood elemental energy before falling into slumber. Was it possible that she had awakened now?
"Sister," a melodious male voice echoed in her mind, bringing Yun Zhi Yue joy.
"Xiao Shi, your consciousness is complete now?"
"Yes, while I can't yet manifest like you can, communication is unhindered. Sister, I want—"
Yue Shi was a name she had given; back in ancient times when she was a palace consort in that Dimension, she had unexpectedly acquired Shihua and had been nurturing it with her own blood ever since.
Now that they could finally communicate fully, she was overjoyed. With her soul nurturing the spirit of Yue Shi, it meant they would always be together. It felt wonderful to have a companion—one flower and one grass sharing the same attributes.
Song Huai wasn't particularly interested in others; he immediately fixated on Yun Zhi Yue's large bed, likely contemplating how to climb up again without being rejected.
A Su Shou reached out from the bed's edge; he noticed it right away. The delicate fingers were pale pink and long, making one want to reach out and play with them. Then Song Huai raised an eyebrow as Jiang Bai glanced over too.
A black-red flower gradually bloomed around a slender wrist, exuding both beauty and an ominous aura. The sensation wasn't one of aesthetic pleasure but rather an unsettling chill that made one's skin crawl.
Delicate branches and leaves danced across the back of her hand, winding around her index finger like a thorny ring. A drop of black smoke dripped from the fingertip.
In this land of yellow earth, plants suddenly sprouted rapidly, transforming into a massive black-red bud in mere seconds. The bud swayed closer to Bai Miao Miao, who lay under the covers with her eyes tightly shut.
When the blanket was tugged at, Bai Miao Miao initially thought it was Jiang Bai again and protested, "Don't pull my blanket! I'm sleeping on my own bed."
But the other party was relentless. The blanket was pulled back, and her legs were wrapped in something.
At this moment, Bai Miao Miao couldn’t see anything and had no idea what terrifying situation she was in. She could only sit up and try to feel around: What is this?
Yue Shi didn’t seem inclined to speak; besides, he was busy devouring someone and couldn’t open his mouth.
Feeling that her thighs were already wrapped up and moving higher, Bai Miao Miao touched the dark red petals and began to panic: What is this?
“Be quiet.” There was no explanation given. Yun Zhi Yue only said three words, yet Bai Miao Miao immediately relaxed, lying back down and remaining still.
Yue Shi was still busy consuming his meal.
