Chapter 606: Chapter 605 Little Fish Can’t Cry

Thud, thud!

Two sections of frosted severed arms fell from the cracks of the rock walls, landed on a nearly one-meter-high pile of arms with a dull sound, slid down, and finally rolled in front of a furry claw.

The Ice Toothed Tiger’s small claw subconsciously stepped back, looking somewhat fatigued and slightly disgusted at the arm.

At that moment, a hand gently touched its head, caressing along its somewhat sparkling fur.

"Tired?"

"Woof~"

The Ice Toothed Tiger squinted its eyes and raised its head vigorously, seeming to thoroughly enjoy Chen Yixin’s caresses.

Watching the somewhat disheveled Ice Toothed Tiger, Chen Yixin wore a look of pity in her eyes. This child had been personally revived by her, and due to the conflict of primary and secondary attributes, it hadn’t grown at all for nearly a year. Treasured by the entire research institute, it barely fought or even used its skills. To have come this far was already impressive.

As she thought about these things, Chen Yixin looked through the gaps in the rock walls towards the arena, wearing a somewhat vacant expression.

From the first appearance of the infected to their rapid increase, and later transforming into monstrous creatures unrecognizable as human, all had transpired in less than half an hour. This accelerated mutation process was far beyond her imagination, causing the usually clear-targeted Chen Yixin to feel an unusual sense of lost, unsure of what the future would hold for the world.

"Yo~"

The ethereal sound of a deer call, carrying a long trailing ribbon of an elegant figure, flashed briefly through the gap. A sparkle appeared in Chen Yixin’s eyes.

It was Xiaofeng!

On the other side of the central arena, Li Yiren watched a monster prowling beyond the vine net, tightly hugging her pet beast.

Behind her, Yu Xiaoyu looked somewhat pale. She trembled slightly as she told the young girl, "If things become unmanageable, you run first. The teacher can still buy you some time."

Touched by the words, Li Yiren was about to say something when she heard Yu Xiaoyu muttering softly, "Actually, I don’t want to, but Xiaoyu, remember you’re a teacher. You need to protect your students, yet..."

"But when I think about how I won’t be able to spend all the savings on my dear husband collections, I feel so wronged, wuu wuu wuu," Yu Xiaoyu sniffed tearfully, "Xiaoyu, you must be strong, at the very least... at least try not to cry, because you are a teacher!"

Li Yiren’s face darkened as she glanced sideways at the muttering Yu Xiaoyu, her nervousness somewhat relieved.

"Hiss wa!"

At that moment, a monstrous shriek echoed above them. Li Yiren looked up to see an ugly creature perched on the wall like a spider, its limbs at exaggerated angles clutching the wall surface while its belly tightly adhered to the wall.

Noticing their gaze, the creature’s purple-black eyes exuded malevolence and coldness. Its fanged mouth shimmered ominously as its limbs powerfully propelled it from the wall, lunging down towards them.

Seeing this, Yu Xiaoyu covered her head with a high-pitched scream, "Yiren, run!! The teacher will hold it off, wuu wuu wuu... I’m going to die, I’m going to die..."

"I don’t... I don’t want to die either... wuu wuu wuu."

Looking at Yu Xiaoyu crouched on the ground, shaking violently as she cried out loud while urging her to run, Li Yiren’s face wore a mix of amusement and touched expression.

She didn’t disturb Yu Xiaoyu who was ’taking on’ her teacher’s duty. Looking up at the creature caught in the vine net, it gnashed its icy teeth on the tough vines, its long arms crazily reaching inside and thrashing about.

"Hiss wa!"

After witnessing its ally attack, several more monsters surged from all directions, swarming and tearing at the vine net.

Li Yiren clenched her teeth: "Pure Water Bubble, Frostwind."

The water orb in her arms jumped onto her shoulder, then took a deep breath, and visibly swelled up.

"Huff!"

When the orb expanded to its limit, it deflated like a punctured balloon within the vine net, scattering ice-white air streams mixed with ice shards sporadically around, rapidly forming ice crystals wherever the air stream touched.

Moments later, Pure Water Bubble’s air stream was completely released, and it flopped back into Li Yiren’s arms. The originally plump little water orb collapsed into a pile, making meaningless little babbling noises.

"Eh?" Yu Xiaoyu lifted his head in confusion upon hearing the noise, only to find himself unharmed...

Crack!

A crisp sound came from above, and the two of them looked up to see the tough vines that had been frozen by the Frostwind, shattered by the monster’s claw.

It poked its head through the broken hole, glaring maliciously at them, saliva incessantly dripping from its icy teeth.

Li Yiren felt a slippery liquid flowing on her face, yet she stood frozen in place as if dazed.

"Hiss!"

The monster burrowed through the vine web, its ferocious face drawing closer in her pupils.

Just as the monster was about to pounce on her, Li Yiren suddenly felt a strong force from behind, sending her rolling forward a great distance.

Li Yiren propped herself up on the ground and turned back, just in time to see Yu Xiaoyu giving her a faint smile. Her lips slightly moved, seemingly telling her to run.

At that moment, she felt as if struck by lightning, memories of her days with Yu Xiaoyu flashing before her eyes.

Watching the terrifying monster above Yu Xiaoyu, her tears burst forth: "No!!"

Hisss!

Just as the monster was about to leap at Yu Xiaoyu, a cold gleam shot from afar, grazing past Li Yiren and piercing through the monster’s skull.

The monster in mid-air, as if struck by a heavy blow, paused briefly before crashing violently against the wall behind.

Boom!

The monster’s body harshly collided with the wall, its black and red blood blooming like flower petals in an abstract painting on the cracked wall.

A thin veil of dust enveloped the monster’s body, an ice-white Tang sword pinning it to the wall.

...

"Nightmare Kite, Ghost Claw!"

"Fierce!"

Shrouded in a cloud of black mist, the Nightmare Kite let out a sinister cry, its body instantly passing through the monster’s chest. It circled midair, releasing its ethereal claws, dropping something onto the green grass.

That was a heart, covered in purple-black veins and beating incessantly, dark red blood squeezing out with each heartbeat, splattering all around on the grass.

In the sparse crowd, Li Yiming, Casar, and a few others stood back to back. A black and a white eagle circled above them, while Spirits of Grudge, Sleeping Orchids, and Cannon Clamp Shrimp Soldiers surrounded them.

Xiang Nan’s hand clutching the dagger ached unbearably, and he couldn’t help but spit, "Damn it, they just keep coming."

The monsters around them moved swiftly through the crowd, these enhanced creatures not only stronger and more defensive but also terrifyingly faster.

"Hiss!"

Several hunched figures darted through the crowd, their prominent bone spurs sweeping through bodies like reapers, felling swathes of people, even as the control of the Iron-eating Giant Panda’s bronze spears gradually weakened.

Seeing the monsters unconcerned with him, Li Yiming gritted his teeth, "Let’s withdraw and meet up with Yiren and the others."

"Let’s go!"

Whoosh!

Shortly after they left, a shadow flashed, and the heart disappeared in an instant, leaving only the blood droplets hanging on the grass blades to prove its prior existence.
