Chapter 1 Due to the Existence of Divinity

Due to the existence of divinity, Li Ang could not directly observe the massive sphere with the Cat's Eye's detection function.

However, the iron chains extending from the surrounding walls, and the humanoid shadow within the sphere, both revealed that this scene was the same vision he had seen in front of the villa.

'What exactly was that scene?'

Li Ang thought to himself, 'A prophecy or an illusion meant to confuse people?'

He possessed the Cat's Eye equipment, which not only came with the special effect of creating illusions, but could also resist hallucinatory effects to a certain extent. Ordinary illusions would have difficulty affecting him.

Taking advantage of the fact that the sphere pierced by iron chains had not yet made any further movements, Forest Cat quickly took out her Divination Polaroid Camera and snapped a photo of the space near the sphere.

She didn't dare to directly photograph the sphere—because the camera definitely couldn't withstand directly facing divinity; directly photographing it would only burn the camera.

The photo was quickly developed. Forest Cat glanced at it, and her expression changed slightly.

In the somewhat blurry photo, endless, rampant vegetation occupied the entire frame, and the lush vines and flowers almost completely filled the entire hall.

Forest Cat had a faint ominous premonition. The Divination Polaroid Camera would convert abnormal events within the next ten minutes or so of the shooting location into images in the form of prophecies.

There was no player information on the screen—which was definitely not good news.

Needless to say, her gloomy expression was enough to explain the problem.

Sensing the strong threat, several players silently took out their strongest attack equipment.

Li Ang put away his stone arm, holding a three-edged bone spear in one hand and a Barrett sniper rifle in the other.

Forest Cat took out a pointer.

The griffin crest on Wu Nian's back emitted a dazzling red light.

Dong Feng Po, on the other hand, silently took out a green glass bottle.

This bottle was also a rare-level attack equipment. Its special effect was that drinking the high-alcohol-content liquor inside allowed the user to spew out high-temperature flames.

It was just that the side effects were a bit much—drinking too much easily burned the tongue, causing inflammation for several days, along with mouth ulcers and toothaches.

As for Stonemason, under the gaze of everyone, he silently took out a Gustav M3 84mm recoilless rifle from his backpack.

As a member of a certain secret organization, he naturally knew some players' guesses about the implicit rules of the Killing Game—carrying modern heavy weapons could very likely lead to the system imposing implicit penalties, increasing the difficulty of the task.

This recoilless rifle was not obtained through his organization's connections from some channels.

Instead, it was commissioned by other members of the organization, using synthesis skills, to create it manually. This way, it would be considered extraordinary equipment and would not cause system penalties.

Stonemason nodded to his teammates, shouldered the recoilless rifle, aimed at the massive sphere with the infrared night vision sight, and gently squeezed the trigger.

A flash of fire passed, accompanied by a loud bang, and an over-caliber rocket-assisted armor-piercing projectile shot out, instantly crossing half the hall and directly hitting the sphere firmly bound by iron chains.

Boom—

The loud noise rumbled, reverberating back and forth in the room. The flames soared into the sky, the visible explosion wave snapped all the chains, and blew away all the glowing worms above the ceiling.

Amidst the smoke and dust,

Tss,

A barely perceptible sound of piercing through the air rang out.

Li Ang's eyes suddenly contracted. He shouted, "Scatter!" and with a tap of his toes, his figure darted like lightning to the left front.

His teammates were also very alert and scattered in all directions one step ahead. The players looked at where they had just been standing.

At some point, that place had been pierced by a giant, conical crossbow bolt composed of tree vines that had shot out.

The more than three-meter-long vegetation crossbow bolt trembled slowly as if it possessed life.

The dense vines on it, like poisonous snakes, constantly flicked their tails, making hissing sounds, and continuously oozed transparent droplets, which dripped onto the ground, corroding the bluestone floor into one deep hole after another.

If the players had hesitated just slightly, they would have been pierced by the vine crossbow bolt and died on the spot.

Amidst the smoke, a continuous sound of piercing through the air came again. Li Ang moved like a rabbit, narrowly avoiding the vine crossbow bolts, and with a glance from the corner of his eye, he saw that other teammates were also being chased by crossbow bolts, and could only keep jumping and running to avoid being caught up.

The players frantically dodged, running in a Z-shape, and moved towards the location of the sphere with great tacit understanding.

As the smoke dissipated, the players who were making feints also noticed the scene in front of them.

Sections of iron chains, destroyed by the explosion, were scattered around the swamp.

The sphere had shattered, and the membrane was spread over the swamp like a carpet. The gray-white liquid that poured out from the sphere accumulated in the low-lying area in the middle of the swamp.

And on top of the membrane, lay a humanoid creature.

Its entire skin was pale white, emaciated, and its arms were intertwined several times in front of its body like twin flowers.

Its legs were bent forward like a deer, its back was arched high, its shoulders were raised, and its head was shrunk.

The most terrifying part was its face.

On its round skull, there were no hair, no eyebrows, no eyes, no ears, only a mouth that was grotesquely large, and a nose above the mouth that was split open to both sides.

The shape was so strange, like an abstract painting by Picasso.

What a peculiar little thing.

'Is this, an Embryo?'

Li Ang's heart sank.

He saw that the monster, which could barely move on its own, shook its body gently, and the vegetation and vines in the surrounding swamp automatically gathered and twisted into a团 at lightning speed, forming crossbow bolts that shot towards the players.

Li Ang narrowly avoided a vine crossbow bolt that shot out, and with a sweep of the three-edged bone spear in his hand, he deflected another giant crossbow bolt.

The distance between the two sides continued to close. Li Ang held his breath and concentrated. After a slight aim, he pulled the trigger of the Barrett sniper rifle towards the humanoid creature lying on top of the membrane.

The heavy bullet flew away, but before it could approach the Embryo, it was easily deflected by a vegetation crossbow bolt.

No eyes, yet it shoots so accurately. Is this an aimbot?

Li Ang flipped his hand over and took out several Molotov cocktails and threw them over. The crossbow bolts that shot out shattered the glass bottles, but the flammable liquid inside still spilled onto the swamp grass.

The flames suddenly ignited, and the swarming insects were directly burned to ashes.

Seeing that the waves of heat were about to scorch the Embryo, a pair of giant mud hands suddenly rose from the swamp mud, steadily holding the Embryo in their palms and constantly extending upwards.

In an instant, the mud hands, carrying the Embryo, had rushed to the highest point of the hall, overlooking the many players below.

Forest Cat's expression changed drastically, and she shouted: "The divinity of the Reindeer is grass, trees, life, swamps, and creation. This extraordinary ability to manipulate mud comes from the Leslie family, who possess the petrification curse!

The body it's currently using is an Embryo of a Leslie family member!"
