The words “insignificant person” were so sharp yet true.
An Yinong smiled bitterly and looked at the ‘gift bag’. Next to the fungus was a sharp animal tooth. This broken tooth was as big as a palm, like a winter bamboo shoot, and it was stuck in the main root of the tree. The wound on the main root bulged and formed a tumor.
The pain he had sensed came from near the animal fang. An Yinong pulled out the tusk, and green juice began to flow out of the main root wound, but the sharp pain transmitted from the tree had been alleviated. It waved its body in thanks, and An Yinong sensed its joy and excitement. And there were many other trees of the same kind.
“I feel it clearer now.” He said to the system, “I ‘heard’ a gentle voice saying that its flowers have a strong anesthetic effect on living things. If I need it, it can bloom.” The straightforward and simple mood of the trees made An Yinong happy as well.
He rejected the tree’s kindness and then used the transformed knife to cut off a piece of the tumor.
It was actually soft, with red all over the cut, but the inside was more like red berries, with a herbal fragrance. Sniffing the aroma, he felt an unprecedented appetite in his stomach. His body instinctively said, eat it quickly, eat it quickly. Just by smelling it, he wanted to swallow the bloody thing raw.
“It is said that when wild animals are sick, they will instinctively look for herbs that are useful to them. Perhaps this is the same situation. I am almost certain that it does have a special effect on me who is in the differentiation period.” An Yinong resisted the urge to bite it and cut off a piece with a knife.
“Host, do you really want to eat this?” This thing was bleeding and looked really disgusting.
“Yes.” He said, and ate the piece of cake, “Hmm.”
The jelly-like substance melted when it touches the lips, and the sweet juice filled the mouth with a faint smell of blood. As for the taste, it was a bit like the taste of blood clams. People who disliked it will feel that their mouths were full of blood, while those who did like it would feel that it was sweet and delicious. An Yinong belonged to the latter.
“My hunger has subsided a little. It really works.” An Yinong hesitated for a moment before eating the bloody thing piece by piece.
On the game screen, his health was recovering bit by bit, and his physical condition was getting better and better.
Only the audience on the screen was beating their chests and stamping their feet: “Something worth hundreds of thousands of dollars was just eaten raw like this?”
Ordinary people who only earned three or four thousand yuan a month were drooling with envy. They now wanted to know what this ridiculously expensive thing tasted like when eaten raw. Was it really delicious?
“It’s delicious, and your mouth will taste bloody.” A rich man who had eaten some passed by and left a comment, “He looks like a rich man, but he actually ate hundreds of thousands of dollars. He is really courageous.”
“Eating it raw is the least efficient way of utilizing it. He should keep it for when he is injured.” Another person gave some advice from a distance.
“I think so too.” Someone agreed.
The audience listened and said: “What you eat belongs to you. Who knows who will get it in the future if you hold onto it.”
“To the person above, this contestant is in the differentiation period. He might as well eat it directly instead of keeping such a valuable thing.”
While the audience was arguing about how to eat the golden tumor for the highest utilization rate, An Yinong had already finished eating it. He felt the melted red liquid flowing in his body, and wherever it passed, the hunger and fatigue subsided, and he felt full of energy.
Then An Yinong buried the roots of the tree again. This time he touched the trunk. The pain transmitted by the tree was much lower, and he felt more joy. The breeze was as light and comfortable as wind chimes.
“Get well soon.”
The wind blew through the treetops, making a humming sound, which was ‘it’s’ response. An Yinong smiled and let go of his hand.
He was about to transform his bracelet into a shovel and move the soil back, but the ground swayed slightly, as if something heavy had fallen from a distance. An Yinong looked towards the source of the noise, and saw only a flock of startled birds, and the sound of something exploding and breaking in his ears.
The sound was getting closer, faster, and louder, almost reaching the ground.
“What’s that noise? An earthquake?”
“I know. Did a high-level Zerg encounter a fight using its original form?”
“Oh no! It’s the Bear Slaughter Team from the Blue and White Flag next door that’s cleaning out the players. Streamer, run, run!”
The audience on the screen forgot that the contestants inside heard their voices, and they were worried about An Yinong.
An Yinong knew what was going on and where to run. Soon, almost in the blink of an eye, as the giant trees fell like dead grass, a creature as tall as three or four stories was pushed in front of An Yinong by some force. He dodged and was knocked away along with the creature.
The world spun and everything went dark.
In the chaos, An Yinong felt something boiling inside his body. It was like a child that had been awakened, its head drooping and then rising again.
His world was divided into black, red, and green. Black was the silent earth, red was the music with anger and wails that reverberated in the world, and green light was like the surging ocean.
An Yinong vaguely heard a strange singing voice, which was the commanding general of the green light spots. The green light began to wash away the wounds left by the killing. It seemed like something that could come from a person’s throat, but his lips moved as if he wanted to chant along.
An Yinong was completely immersed in this strange world, and the music of nature flowed in his body.
“Hmm…” After who knows how long, accompanied by a sharp pain as if his body was shattered, An Yinong ‘woke up’ and regained consciousness.
It turned out that he had just been knocked out and stopped only after crashing into a big tree. This tree was the same species as the one where An Yinong found the fungus.
The protective suit saved his life again. At the same time, he felt that the red liquid circulating in his body was rushing around at an unprecedented speed, and every blood vessel felt as if it was being pricked by a needle.
An Yinong clenched his hands into fists, blood flowing out of his mouth and nose. “Cough!” He opened his mouth and spat out a ball of black blood while lying on the ground. At the same time, his health on the game screen dropped rapidly, and soon dropped to the half mark.
“Wow, it’s pushed out over a hundred meters. Jin is a tribe known for its quantity.”
“The pregnancy reduced its potency, and we used a psychedelic spray.”
In the direction of the white smoke, there was the shadow of an animal. It looked like a collapsed mountain. A shadow more than ten meters high appeared on the mountain, followed by the second and third.
The three men transformed into their humanoid forms again, and they observed the giant beast that was still lying there.
“It looks like it’s about to give birth. How about we cut open its belly and see if it’s a male or a female?”
“I bet on male.”
“I bet on the female.”
“Hey, are you guys disgusting? If you want to cut it, do it quickly and don’t let me see it.”
The four voices were laughing and joking, seemingly not taking this game seriously. Who were they, why were they in a team, did they know each other?
“Stop playing, go find a bug, is it dead? If not, finish it off.”
“We killed too many people last time and were scolded for a long time when we got back. Should we kill fewer people this time?”
“What are you afraid of? Can they rush out of the virtual world to curse? If they get big, we will kill our own people.” Then the beeping sound came again, “Huh? The bug is still alive? It’s in there.”
Shadow turned his head and looked at An Yinong’s position.
An Yinong was horrified and wanted to activate the environmental color simulation function of the protective suit, but it was too late.
In just a blink of an eye, a shadow appeared in front of him, carrying the smell of death and gunpowder.
“Oh, and a bag of energy blocks?” He laughed. “He brought a bag of energy blocks with the three most important quotas? Is this a child’s game? He really doesn’t know how to live or die.”
With an arrogant laugh, a pair of leather boots appeared in front of him and crushed his plastic bag hard, crushing the energy blocks inside into powder.
An Yinong coughed up a black blood clot again, and his blood volume dropped again.
“This guy seems to be dying.” A soft-sounding laugh appeared again, “Don’t waste time Jin, send him on his way, we still have to clean up the next place.”
The people watching the live broadcast were so nervous that they dared not breathe.
“Are you going to die?” Looking at An Yinong in the live broadcast, a man let out a low laugh.
He was the one who tricked Mai into joining the game, and he was also a high-level Zerg, and his family was full of them. In his opinion, the low-class should have the awareness of the poor, and it was shameless to take the share of the high-level Zerg companion out of a little kindness.
“I’m so unlucky to have met the Bear Slayer Team.”
The Bear Slayer team was originally the selected contestants, but they dispersed to the homes of the selected contestants before the deadline to gain the qualification to participate in the game.
Captains like these who took the initiative to play the game wer very confident in themselves. They were well-trained teams who were very powerful and dangerous. The first thing a lone player would do when encountering this mature team was to “escape”.
The Bear Slayer Team was an extreme individual among these teams. They enjoyed killing and had no respect for life. Even the murderous Zerg could not appreciate the cruelty of these people.
For three years, these people participated in the survival game. They killed hundreds of contestants with their own hands, including those who surrendered and those from their own country. Maybe they didn’t have enough fun, so these people repeated the same tricks this year and came here in a group again.
Knowing that the Bear Slayer team was coming to play games again, many viewers came to watch. Some of them idolized the team, while others despised the team, so the live broadcast was noisy.
The man felt that he had no need to keep watching, as Mai’s fate was already sealed.
Several people in the Bear Slayer Team were middle-level Zergs, but their forms were the best Zerg soldiers in ancient times, and they cooperated very well. Even high-level Zergs had to give way when they meet them.
This bug was dead. In the game, An Yinong tightly grasped the knife in his hand, and the veins on the back of his hand were bulging.
“Hey, this bug… seems to be in the differentiation stage.” The differentiation stage was the dividing line between the Zerg larvae and the adults, and its most important feature was ‘fading’.
An Yinong’s fingertips had turned as white as snow, and the tips of his hair also turned white.
“Differentiation period?” Differentiation period meant being a minor, but…
“I suspect that this differentiation period is just used to confuse us. How could there be a differentiation period in the game? And I also suspect that he has intentions towards us and can hurt us, so this is called a counterattack.” One person said a high-sounding speech, and the others laughed.
“What a pity! If it was when the differentiation period was about to end, the ice and snow body would be more beautiful to kill. Red blood and snow-white and translucent flesh, how interesting it would be.” The only woman among the five walked closer with a smile.
“I heard that if there is not enough food during the differentiation period, you will starve to death. I want to know if it is true. Do you want to give it a try?” said a soft male voice.
“It’s better to kill him to avoid future troubles.”
Death was approaching step by step. An Yinong raised his head to see more clearly, but his eyes were bleeding and he could only see bloody films. His ears were filled with wailing.
In a trance, the player’s nails turned into cold and sharp blades, and he was about to cut open An Yinong’s protective suit. At this time, An Yinong seemed to “hear” a sound…
It was singing!
The blood in his eyes filled his eyeballs. He saw blood-red and the green color emanating from the plants.
‘You are the balancer of nature and culture, your strength can calm anger. You are the singer of life, your strength can heal pain. You are the hermit of your homeland, and destiny will guide you.’
The Druid bloodline.
