29: Chapter 29 Death Desert 12

Everyone looked in the direction the sound came from and watched in panic as the giant Mythical Serpent, furious that its prey had escaped, slammed itself desperately against the wall, ignoring its own body.

Under its immense strength, the sturdy wall actually began to show fine cracks!

Glasses Man was the first to sprint toward the other end of the passage. Even though he did not know if the giant Mythical Serpent could really break this wall, he was absolutely unwilling to take that risk.

Camo Uncle followed closely behind, gritting his teeth as he ran. With the sound of falling debris and cracking walls in his ears, he had a premonition that this wall would not hold for much longer!

Luo Yuejian wanted to regain control of her body. She tried to bargain with the slacker system: "You've already used my body to escape one disaster, haven't you? Do you really have to keep controlling my body to act?"

The slacker system's voice sounded subtle: "Do you think I don't know what you're planning? You want to run slowly in this situation and end up in the serpent's mouth?"

The slacker system gave a light scoff. "Don't bother with that idea. The system can monitor at any time whether you are trying to survive. Even if you are trying to die... please be serious about it."

Luo Yuejian inexplicably felt that ever since it took control of her body, the current slacker system seemed to have undergone some subtle changes. But she was never sensitive to such things, so this thought flashed through her mind and did not make her start thinking about it.

Luo Yuejian felt guilty: "Even so... isn't my mission to die naturally in the game! What's wrong with me having a little plan?"

The slacker system chuckled, though Luo Yuejian did not hear any mockery in it.

"Is your death natural?"

No... why did this mechanical voice...

Luo Yuejian inexplicably felt her ear go numb; the system never gave her this feeling when it spoke to her usually...

Luo Yuejian pondered for a moment and asked hesitantly: "...System, are you leaking electricity?"

slacker system: ...?

The slacker system laughed helplessly, its mechanical voice inexplicably having a lazy feeling.

"Alright, enough nonsense. It's time to get down to business."

While the slacker system and Luo Yuejian were talking, the giant Mythical Serpent behind them was still hitting the wall tirelessly. The speed at which the stones at the entrance of the Secret Room were falling was getting faster and faster, and the cracks on the wall were spreading more and more severely.

With a loud "boom," accompanied by dust filling the sky and crumbling stones, the Mythical Serpent finally knocked down the outermost, sturdiest wall of the secret passage.

The people running in the front could not help but look back when they heard the commotion behind them. They saw the wall, which had been their strongest line of defense, collapse with a roar. The bloodthirsty and cruel look in the giant Mythical Serpent's eyes was clear to them even from a great distance.

Camo Uncle's heart skipped a beat, and he dared not look back, his speed actually increasing by a few notches. He had seen with his own eyes just how fast that giant Mythical Serpent was; if he gave it fifty meters, he would probably be caught by it in a few seconds.

Camo Uncle gritted his teeth and sprinted forward, the veins on his forehead bulging; he absolutely could not die here!

[Luo Yuejian] looked back at the giant Mythical Serpent that was staring at her with cold, ruthless eyes. She couldn't help but curve her eyes, give a mock salute with two fingers to her forehead, and then turn around and run at an extremely fast speed.

At this moment, the audience in the livestream room:

[Ahhhhh, so cool!]

[This move really hit the spot for me! Although I don't know what it means, it's really so cool!]

[I'm a fan now! It's too cool! I love how cool a girl can be!]

[Following from the last stream, I feel that in this round of the game, the White-haired Beauty is showing more of her hard power, while the last round showed more of her extraordinary intelligence.]

[The only thing that reflects my Yue's intelligence this round is that move of using the ruby on the pillar to open the secret passage, right?]

[Indeed, and it seems my Yue's personality this round is a bit different from the last round. But I love both, wuwuwu...]

[The last round was a cold and indifferent beauty, this round is a rogue and lazy beauty!]

[I think it might be because Yue Shen has more space to display this round, so she is a little more interested. Look at her previous game, Yue Shen really carried the whole team, all the clues can be said to have been found by her alone. Anyone with eyes can see that it is very easy for her, so Yue Shen might not have been interested all along.]

[That makes so much sense! In the last round, Yue Shen was always listless, looking like she could fall asleep at any time, this round is much more unrestrained!]

Luo Yuejian: ? She was just spacing out, okay!

[I feel like the miracle game is slowly releasing the White-haired Beauty's true nature. Thinking about it, how oppressed must my Yue have lived in the original world?!]

Luo Yuejian: ? I am not, I didn't!

[I hope the White-haired Beauty can live wantonly in the miracle game forever!]

Luo Yuejian: ? I don't want to!

...

After knocking down the wall outside the secret passage, the Mythical Serpent's yellow vertical pupils locked tightly onto [Luo Yuejian]. After seeing [Luo Yuejian]'s action, although it did not understand what it meant, the Mythical Serpent instinctively felt it was a provocation.

The Mythical Serpent, already furious from being injured, was instantly enraged and began to charge toward [Luo Yuejian] regardless of anything else. The walls around the secret passage collapsed inch by inch under the Mythical Serpent's violent impact, making a violent sound.

[Luo Yuejian] was running wildly in front. Hearing the commotion behind her, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and click her tongue. It seemed she had really angered that little thing... and she immediately increased her speed a bit more.

When charging toward [Luo Yuejian], the Mythical Serpent was slightly hindered by the walls around the secret passage and had to be harassed by [Luo Yuejian]'s cards from time to time—the damage was not high, but the insult was extremely high. This provoked it to charge forward even more desperately, as if it had lost its mind.

At this time, running at the very front was Camo Uncle. Camo Uncle was still vigorous; he had already overtaken Glasses Man and was running in first place.

The secret passage was not very long, less than 1000 meters. Camo Uncle brought out the speed of his 1500-meter sprint that he hadn't used in years and ran wildly forward. Now he could already see a bit of light ahead.

Seeing the faint light, a glimmer of hope flashed in Camo Uncle's eyes. After sprinting for so long, his throat was filled with a metallic taste, and his body had lost all feeling. But as long as he thought of the deadly monster behind him, Camo Uncle's body could not stop.

The moment Camo Uncle rushed out of the secret passage exit, under the powerful inertia, he fell directly to the ground and slid out five or six meters.

"Clang... Clang... Clang..."

Just as Camo Uncle rushed out of the secret passage, the exit behind him suddenly made a "clang, clang" sound.

Camo Uncle didn't have time to worry about the scrapes on his body. He endured the pain, gritted his teeth, and looked back, only to see a stone door slowly descending from top to bottom at the exit of the secret passage.

This stone door was very familiar; it was exactly the same as the door that had descended to block the entrance after they entered the main hall before.

Camo Uncle's face turned pale instantly, and he roared: "Run, everyone! This stone door is coming down!!!"
