Deceitful Game

Chapter 220 Brother, you're not dead?

Chapter 220 Brother, you're not dead?

"That's interesting."

Although she was still somewhat weak due to blood loss, Mingpo smiled, her eyes shining brightly.

The weekly Azure Lead level dungeon is quite challenging.

Unexpectedly, the person he casually disposed of almost managed to curse Mingbo to death.

If I hadn't accidentally shown a kind heart and risked my life to save Shi Yao—I probably would have been cursed to death here!

Mingpo doesn't really care about his life or death now, since he's going to die soon anyway.

But that doesn’t mean he won’t encounter the same enemy later.

This is an invaluable experience.

"It can certainly be used next time."

Mingpo smiled with pleasure.

After the excruciating pain deep in his head subsided, the pain from his broken wrist became clearer. But compared to the agonizing pain in his head that had been slowly scalding him and made him want to roll on the ground, Mingpo could now laugh it off.

"Mingpo, watch out!"

At that moment, Shen Yiqi's expression changed.

He suddenly grabbed Mingpo's shoulder and pulled him backward sharply!

They were chatting here because the glass door's time was almost up, and just by listening to the sounds, they knew that the spider spirit was still some distance away.

But just as the countdown on the glass door finished and it was slowly closing—

The spider, which had been some distance away from them, suddenly appeared silently in front of the closing glass door!

If Shen Yiqi hadn't been bored and looking at the glass door, they probably wouldn't have realized that the spider had suddenly appeared at the door!

Shi Yue turned around in alarm.

In that instant, she felt as if time itself was slowing down.

The transparent spider, as tall as a building, emitted a ghostly green glow. Upon closer inspection, one could see that it was covered in glass beads, resembling a skirt.

That's why it makes a sound like a curtain being lifted or Go stones colliding when it crawls!

And within each glass bead, one can see a distorted human face.

The souls hunted by the spider remain here forever!

At this moment, it was bathed in the holy light emanating from Shi Yao, its entire body emitting thick, pure white smoke. It looked like a "heavenly palace" effect created by dry ice. It was clearly being damaged, but the protection of the game rules made its actions completely uncontrollable, and it did not suffer the slightest harm.

However, this spider spirit is not a pure spider, because spiders most likely do not have pincers; rather, it is more like some kind of crab.

The glass door was already half-closed, so it clearly couldn't get in. Even if the glass door were fully open, it probably still wouldn't be able to get in—because the spider was obviously at least two sizes larger than the glass door. This glass door was like one of those small side doors at the entrance of a restaurant, the kind that flank a revolving door. It could only allow two people to pass side-by-side at most; three people wouldn't be able to squeeze through.

Spider spirits that are over three meters tall, even if they curl up completely, obviously cannot squeeze through such a narrow door.

But it doesn't matter if it can't get in.

Its claws can get in!

The long, thin, and menacing claws, like giant scythes covered in thorns, pierced Shi Yue's back!

After all, spider spirits can't get through glass doors.

So it's quite obvious that it deliberately waited until the very last moment before the door was about to close completely before teleporting over to launch the surprise attack!

This also means another thing—leaving from the entrance is impossible.

The spider spirit can leap over a person in an instant if it can see them! To race against it, you have to be out of its sight!

If the Spider Spirit's attack hits, it will pierce her heart with just this one blow, and might even pull her back!

Of course, it might get stuck in the glass door and die—but why would a spider care about that?

But just before the spider spirit was about to strike.

Shi Yue was already completely cold and unable to move!

However, the next moment, she was kicked hard in the side by Mingpo.

She was kicked away instantly and crashed into the wall with a thud.

Spider Spirit's attack clearly missed.

It let out a sharp cry of resentment and retracted its claws before the glass door closed completely.

Although it had spotted three survivors, none of them were on the path the spider spirit had chosen. Now that it had reached the end of both paths, it had to go back and rest.

Hearing the sound of glass colliding, the Spider Spirit sped away at three times the speed it had come from.

Shi Yue felt like her whole body was falling apart.

Her shoulder, which had been shot, slammed against the wall again, causing her to curl up on the ground in pain, her face as red as a shrimp.

She was certain that her shoulder was dislocated and that she had more than one broken rib.

She even blacked out in the instant she was kicked away and slammed into the wall!

Her consciousness was cut off in that instant. She had no memory of how she fell, and when she regained her memory, she was awakened by excruciating pain and curled up on the ground.

"Th-thank you—"

Even so, she still had to express her gratitude to Mingpo for his rescue, word by word.

If Mingpo hadn't stepped in to help, she would have been grabbed by the spider spirit and instantly refined.

That kick was so powerful that it sent him flying!

Turns out, there really are people who can send others flying!

If it had hit her head instead of her shoulder and back, she would probably be dead by now!

----but.

Mingpo —?

She murmured to herself.

I feel like I've heard this name somewhere before.

"—I'm telling you, Mingpo."

Shen Yiqi reached out and patted Mingpo on the shoulder, somewhat hesitantly asking, "You two—aren't you very familiar with each other?"

He originally thought that Shiyue was Mingpo's friend, which was why Mingpo was willing to risk saving her.

But looking at Shi Yue's reaction, he realized that Ming Po didn't seem to know her very well.

—If that's the case, then I—?

A clearer idea emerged in Shen Yiqi's mind.

If Mingpo's earlier statement, "I will save you too," was perhaps a humble remark...

So now its credibility has increased several times over!

"—Mingpu?"

Shi Yue vaguely recalled something, as if something was about to emerge.

"Unlike me, she was too young at the time, so it's normal that she doesn't remember me."

Mingpo said calmly, "She used to be my neighbor."

"Who are you--!"

Shi Yue's eyes widened as hazy childhood memories flooded back: "Ming... Brother Xiaoming?! Aren't you...?"

That was the older boy next door who she admired greatly when she was a child!

Later, the neighbor's older brother moved away, and she was very sad. She cried and made a scene with her parents, wanting to move away with them.

It took quite a few days for me to recover.

Bro, you're not dead?

That's what she originally wanted to say.

But they soon realized where they were.

"Ah, no wonder."

Shi Yue murmured.

This is hell.

It is precisely the place where these dead people would come.
