On the other side, Dou Dou was originally chasing after Xin Meng’s back, wanting to follow him to the hive to help.
However, after just two steps, he found that the little black people had quickly caught up. But there was no smoke rising from the hive yet. Dou Dou’s eyes turned, and he suddenly spun around, forcefully charging into the crowd of little black people.
He kicked one in the butt, pulled another by the hair. The little black people, who were already transforming due to the players’ proximity, instantly exploded with rage, swinging their claws and roaring as they reached for Dou Dou. However, Dou Dou was like a slippery loach, moving freely among the six black monsters, skillfully keeping them occupied.
Yet he was still somewhat dissatisfied, “Why is no one seeing my heroic posture?”
The forest was too dense; even if he was not far away, his line of sight was blocked. The other four awake people indeed did not see him.
He mumbled complaints, but his expression was quite casual.
Meanwhile, Xin Meng was making progress, “Got it!”
Although he didn’t know why the little black people hadn’t come over yet, the absence of a rollback indicated that the mission hadn’t failed. In the urgent situation, Xin Meng didn’t have time to think too much. He focused on lighting the fire, and after failing more than ten times, he finally succeeded!
The overly damp wood didn’t catch fire but instead released thick smoke. Xin Meng took out a condom from his backpack, not knowing what it was for, and used it like a fan, waving the choking smoke towards the hive.
“Buzz!”
This indeed successfully poked the beehive. All the bees swarmed out, but instead of attacking the player who lit the fire, they flew away as if fleeing for their lives. A dark cloud of bees filled the air, as if lightning could strike down at any moment, and the sound of their wings was like thunder, growing fainter.
As the thick smoke rolled, it wasn’t long before the entire hive was nearly empty. All that could fly had fled, and the surroundings fell into silence.
With the blue smoke rising into the air, Dou Dou looked up and knew that Xin Meng and the others had succeeded. He finally stopped his annoying antics of teasing the little black people, who were almost driven to death by anger. However, it seemed that the game program didn’t allow for such a death, so they could only huff and glare at him fiercely before turning to rush towards the hive, as if they would rather hurry to their deaths than play with this guy anymore.
“Hahaha!” Dou Dou laughed heartily, slapping his thigh, “This is too damn funny!”
“This game is so much fun,” he wiped the tears of laughter from the corners of his eyes, talking to himself, “I just want to keep playing.”
Seeing the six little black people charge towards the hive, Xin Meng noticed that the bees did not appear this time. They did not give up and continued to crash into it like a bell, the branches weighed down with heavy objects creaking under the strain, making cracking sounds. The giant beehive, along with the broken branches, fell to the ground with a thud, smashing half of it.
The little black people stood there dumbfounded, their eyes glazed over.
“Move quickly!”
Seeing that they were about to rollback, Xin Meng immediately bent down and grabbed the head of a wingless bee, throwing it towards them. On the other side, You Yi threw one bee in each hand like a sandbag. The little black people immediately dodged, but only one remained stubbornly still, not knowing to evade. Xin Meng and You Yi exchanged glances, adjusted their aim, and directly buried it halfway in a pile of bees.
These bees had their wings cut off by You Yi earlier. They couldn’t fly to attack people, but their stingers were still intact. If someone got too close, they could still be stung.
This was a plan they had discussed earlier, which could protect the other little black people and themselves, while ensuring that none died to cause a rollback.
The effect was very obvious. A large pile of black and yellow fuzzy bees wriggled and stabbed their only weapon into the body of that little black person. It deflated like a balloon, and yellowish murky liquid flowed out from the holes in its body.
“Six little black people, playing with the beehive angered the bees; one sting leads to death, six left with five…” The little black people sang, weaving around the bees and their former companion, continuing to run forward.
“Five little black people, causing trouble and getting into lawsuits; entangled in lawsuits until death, five left with four…”
Xin Meng loudly called to the three people behind, pulling You Yi to hurry and catch up.
“What does ‘getting into lawsuits’ mean?” Xin Meng turned to ask You Yi.
You Yi pondered for a moment and guessed, “Probably something like getting into conflicts with others.”
As it turned out, You Yi’s guess was mostly correct. When they burst out of the forest, they saw the surviving five little black people clinging to a massive bull, tearing at its hide with their sharp teeth. The bull, like the bees, seemed to have been pumped up, its size comparable to a prehistoric dinosaur!
At this moment, the bull was enraged by the pain it felt and glared with blood-red eyes, letting out an angry roar. It twisted its body and charged, trying to shake off these damned fleas. The ground shook violently, and small stones bounced up, raising a cloud of dust.
Just as Xin Meng was stunned and the others had just caught up, one little black person lost its grip and was directly thrown to the ground by the bull. The bull, delighted, immediately ran over and raised its hoof, brutally trampling the little black person into a pulp!
The little black person’s eyeball exploded out of its socket, covered in blood and dirt, and the bloody scene made everyone feel nauseous.
One had died, yet there was no rollback. Logically, the conditions should have been met for a clear victory, but things were clearly not over. None of the little black people were willing to let go, and the bull was still violently trying to kill them.
“Entangled in lawsuits until death… until death…” Xin Meng immediately realized, exclaiming, “So that’s how it is! It’s not until the little black people die, but the bull!”
“Heavens, are we supposed to kill this bull?!” Luo Yingying covered her mouth in disbelief, her voice trembling, not out of pity, but out of fear!
The bull’s destructive power was comparable to a tank. How could they kill it? Who would go to kill it?
With their current stamina, killing an ordinary cow would be a struggle. Could they really kill this massive creature without being trampled into meat paste? Just like that little black person…
Luo Yingying’s gaze fell on the eyeball rolling in the dirt, and she couldn’t help but grip Li Wenjun’s arm tightly.
However, they had no choice. The bull had the remaining four little black people hanging on it. If any one of them died, they would rollback!
Before Xin Meng could speak, another little black person was thrown off. The bull excitedly raised its iron hoof again, ready to create a second meat paste!
“We’re done for!” Li Wenjun shouted in panic, but he saw You Yi rush towards the bull with an incredible speed, almost sticking close to the bull’s hoof as he pulled up the fallen little black person, saving them from under the hoof at the last moment!
“Good job!” Dou Dou couldn’t help but snap his fingers.
You Yi didn’t let go, pulling the little black person back to Xin Meng’s side. The little black person roared in dissatisfaction and struggled, but in You Yi’s grip, it was like a child throwing a tantrum, completely subdued, only able to glare at You Yi unwillingly.
The situation wasn’t over yet. Soon, another little black person was thrown down. You Yi tossed the one he was holding to Xin Meng and went to rescue the next one.
Although Xin Meng could also subdue the little black people, he didn’t have You Yi’s methods and couldn’t directly take them down. He could only hold the little black person’s wrist behind their back, unable to free his other hand. So when You Yi returned, he directly threw the next one to Dou Dou.
The third one was thrown to Li Wenjun. Li Wenjun had decent physical fitness, and after the deep sleep earlier, he was in better shape than when he was first injured. He could handle one on his own, while the last one was held by You Yi.
All the little black people had come down from the bull, but they were still unwilling to give up, struggling incessantly, as if they had taken stimulants, always wanting to rush back and continue entangling with the bull. The bull, having shaken off these nuisances, snorted heavily, its red eyes reflecting the four little black people and six players. Its front hooves excitedly pawed the ground, and it charged towards them!
“Damn! It’s coming for us, quick, dodge!” Dou Dou, carrying Qi Xiaokui, was still as agile as a monkey, and since he was standing at the edge, he quickly leaped a considerable distance.
Xin Meng also wanted to run aside, but saw Li Wenjun in the middle trying to grab a little black person while also bringing Luo Yingying along, unable to dodge in time. The bull was charging right in that direction. If they didn’t act, three lives would be lost!
He paused, and as the bull brushed past him, he pulled out a dagger and stabbed it fiercely into the bull’s body. Because the bull was so large, the knife only pierced its lower leg, and the skin was tough, only the tip of the blade went in.
But that was enough to catch the bull’s attention. The bull let out a painful bellow and immediately turned around, lowering its head and charging at Xin Meng with its horns!
Xin Meng dodged awkwardly. The bull was massive but not clumsy; its tank-like body didn’t slow its speed but instead became a weapon. A mere brush from its horns could send him flying!
However, he wasn’t that scared. Sure enough, when he dodged the second charge, the bull suddenly let out a painful roar and turned back!
It was You Yi, who had come from behind and cut off the bull’s tail!
The tail, as thick as a human thigh, slammed onto the ground with a thud, kicking up a cloud of dust, and the muscles were still twitching, as if the tail was still moving.
“What terrifying strength,” Dou Dou looked at his own legs and then at the thicker tail, muttering to himself, “He can’t be an ordinary person, could he…”
The bull wasn’t smart, but it knew how to hold a grudge. Having its tail cut off made it remember You Yi completely, and it kept stomping its hooves in pursuit. Its terrifying strength was enough to overwhelm You Yi, but You Yi naturally wouldn’t be foolish enough to confront it head-on. He just kept dodging, running around the arena, and with his skills, he managed to keep it at bay.
Meanwhile, Xin Meng chased after the bull, continuously slashing at its rear with the dagger, leaving bloody marks. However, the pain from the wounds was nothing compared to the severed tail, and the bull ignored him. Xin Meng’s eyes turned, and he got an idea, simply continuing to draw blood from the bull, not deeply, but enough to let the blood flow out. In just a moment, the blood soaked into its rough skin.
The bull’s hind legs gradually became less agile, but it didn’t notice. Its blood-red eyes were fixed on its enemy, the one who had severed its tail, wanting to pierce him with its horns and hang him on its horns as a trophy!
