Chapter 5, Madness and Entry
Just now, Wenyu and the one-eyed man lunged at each other. Ultimately, when the one-eyed man's sharp fangs were only a few centimeters away from Wenyu, Wenyu managed to make contact with the silver vortex first
Wen Yu squinted his eyes, and after the light dissipated, he steadied his soon-to-be-desperate emotions and looked towards the treasure chest
Listening to the sound of the wind and the scent of blood coming from behind, Wen Yu understood that this time, the time left for him was truly limited, perhaps just one second? Maybe even less than a second.
With a swift motion, it spat out Wenyu's bloodied and mangled right hand, then lunged forward, biting into Wenyu's calf
The precious land before him is only about the same size as his original rental apartment. In such a level of precious land, treasures are naturally scarce, and the fewer the treasures, the lesser the chance for Wen Yu to survive
Wen Yu frantically struck with the knife, each blow landing on the leg that had been bitten.
Wen Yu was acutely aware that if things continued this way, he would only be brutally killed by the one-eyed man. With a fierce determination in his heart, he raised the kitchen knife in his left hand high and brought it down with great force
The intense pain drove Wenyu into a frenzied roar. Looking at the one-eyed creature that was tightly biting his calf, Wenyu no longer held any illusions, and the fierce determination within him was completely ignited.
Therefore, this time, the single-eyed sharp tooth is aimed at the neck
The immense pain instead ignited Wen Yu's fierce determination and strong will to survive
A flash of light passed by, then immediately disappeared
Apart from this, there is nothing else, and there are no guardian beasts or various bizarre trials that I had heard of in my previous life
Wen Yuqiang gritted his teeth against the excruciating pain and brought the knife down decisively
The immense force left Wenyu with no room to resist, as he fell directly while holding onto the Cyclops, who simultaneously clamped his upper and lower jaws together with great strength
Wenyu has certainly heard of the treasure land, but has never entered it even once
Wen Yu exerted all his strength to push off with his remaining leg and lunged forward with all his might
This time, the one-eyed creature is not prepared to toy with its prey any longer, for this human has brought pain upon itself
However, the size of the treasure land determines the quantity of treasures within it
Excessive blood loss had already dulled Wen Yu's sense of pain. He briefly tended to his wounds, no longer dwelling on the increasingly desperate situation before him. With the last ounce of his strength, he crawled to the side of the treasure chest and opened the only chest in this entire treasure trove.
The enormous wound on the nose made the cyclops feel uncomfortable, yet due to the abilities acquired through evolution, the wound made the cyclops even more ferocious and fierce, savagely chewing on the severed leg in its mouth, and then lunging at Wenyu once again
The one-eyed creature before me was slowly losing its patience, possibly due to hunger, or perhaps its brutal nature compelled it to inflict a few wounds on its prey first
Click!
The one-eyed creature was startled, perhaps not expecting that the prey, which was already at its mouth, could struggle so violently. Immediately after, the one-eyed creature spotted Wen Yu's target—the swirling vortex that kept spinning.
A crisp sound echoed
Gazing at the gaping maw before him, filled with minced flesh, blood vessels, and viruses, Wen Yu exerted all his strength, his eyes filled with a terrifying ferocity. He thrust his right hand directly into the single-eyed creature's mouth, gripping its tongue tightly and yanking it forcefully.
With a roar directed at the old neighbor in front of him, the one-eyed creature opened its large mouth and viciously lunged forward to bite.
It seemed as if the sound of a wooden stick breaking echoed, and Wen Yu felt a sharp pain surge through him, followed by a complete absence of sensation in his right hand. Wen Yu knew that his right hand was gone
The intense pain continuously pierced and stimulated Wenyu's nerves, and the increasingly dull weapon undoubtedly exacerbated Wenyu's suffering
Ultimately, a beast is still a beast; no matter how advanced the evolution, instinct will always be the primary factor influencing actions
The single eye stared intently at the fist-sized vortex before it, and the evolved intelligence informed it that its prey was the very vortex that was disappearing before its eyes
Wen Yu carefully surveyed the treasure land before him. This treasure land was clearly not large, an open space, with only a golden treasure chest placed in the center, and the chest was not locked.
A tremendous force surged forth, and Wen Yu felt a pulling sensation that spread from his hands throughout his entire body. Then, his body began to spin continuously as if it were being placed inside a washing machine, and with a whoosh, he vanished into the silver vortex
... ...
Most importantly, as a first-level mutated beast, the hardness of the skin and bones of the Cyclops is absolutely incomparable to that of a zombie corroded by demonic energy
Go die, go die for me
The cyclops seemed taken aback that the human before him dared to counterattack despite being at an absolute disadvantage, pausing for a moment.
After all, setting aside whether Wenyu can secure the qualification to enter the treasure land, even if he manages to get in, a character of cannon fodder level would not obtain any valuable treasures there. Instead, he might lose his life amidst various trials and at the hands of other humans.
Even Wen Yu's blade struck the one-eyed man's nose, creating a large gash in his tender nose, yet the one-eyed man remained unfazed, with the red light in his eyes intensifying.
The remaining eyes revealed a hint of anthropomorphized confusion, which was quickly replaced by brutality and bloodlust.
The spear had long been discarded during the escape, and with only the left hand, he seized the large kitchen knife slung behind him and struck fiercely at the head of the one-eyed man
Ah ah ah ... ...
Considering the disparity in strength between the two parties, he completely disregarded the pain emanating from his mouth and suddenly lunged at Wenyu.
Ignoring the pain of his severed leg, he exerted the last bit of strength in his hand, swinging the kitchen knife forcefully against the one-eyed man's nose, and then, using the remaining limbs, he quickly crawled towards the vortex.
With only the remaining left hand, I embraced the single eye that was right before me, using all my strength to directly lift the single eye in front of me, and then, I crazily lunged towards the swirling vortex ahead.
The one-eyed man decided not to wait any longer
Wen Yu felt the force pulling him from below suddenly vanish
Wen Yu was completely engulfed in madness, at such a moment, he could only desperately swing the kitchen knife, continuously hacking away.
The kitchen knife struck fiercely against the head of the one-eyed dog, creating a wound that was neither deep nor shallow. However, the one-eyed dog remained unfazed, its eye beginning to take on a strange red hue. At the same time, its sharp claws relentlessly clawed at Wen Yu's lower body, leaving behind streaks of blood from its knife-like nails.
The one-eyed Wen Yu was taken aback, seemingly unable to believe that the human before him possessed such determination. He was momentarily stunned.
The kitchen knife fell swiftly, but the instant death that Wen Yu had hoped for did not occur. Firstly, Wen Yu's dominant hand—his right hand—was already gone, and his left hand lacked strength. Secondly, after experiencing several battles, the knife was no longer as sharp as it had been at the beginning
The cyclops was also filled with ferocity, the red light in its remaining eye growing ever more intense. Regardless of how many knives had struck its head, it continued to viciously bite at Wen Yu's legs.
