[Holy—what the hell is going on?!]
[Damn it, I thought Lin Yu was about to get sandwiched from both sides—how did the Blood Clan Queen suddenly kill Wang Shan?!]
[Wait, the Blood Clan Queen personally saving a player—does that even make sense?!]
[What's going on here? Don't tell me she thinks Lin Yu is handsome and wants him as her consort?!]
[Lin Yu was probably marked as prey by the Blood Clan Queen, right? After all, he destroyed her dolls.]
[Yeah, that makes sense. That's definitely what's happening.]
[Man… Wang Shan died way too miserably. He got sucked dry by bats and turned into a mummy.]
...
Watching Lin Yu on screen, the livestream audience was utterly confused.
The bullet comments exploded with discussion, all trying to figure out why the Blood Clan Queen had intervened.
At the moment, the most widely accepted theory was—
Lin Yu had been marked as the Blood Clan Queen's prey.
She wanted to personally send him off to his death.
That was why, when Wang Shan tried to harm Lin Yu, she stepped in herself and disposed of Wang Shan.
...
"Was Wang Shan killed by Lin Yu?"
"Or was he killed by the Blood Clan Queen?"
After realizing that the dead player wasn't Lin Yu but Wang Shan—the very person he had messaged earlier—
Wang Gang's face filled with confusion.
If it was the latter, there was nothing to worry about.
But if it was the former—
Then things became terrifying.
A newbie player killing someone who had already cleared a dungeon before?
It wasn't impossible.
Just extremely rare.
After all, most newbies entering their first dungeon were panicked and terrified, desperate to cling to experienced players for protection.
But Lin Yu—
Was clearly an exception.
Not only had he seen through their trap—
He had even turned the tables and tried to scheme against them, experienced players.
This was the first time Wang Gang had ever seen something like this.
Just as he was thinking—
The few black bats circling nearby suddenly seemed to receive an order.
Flapping their wings violently, they flew straight at Wang Gang without hesitation.
As they flew—
The bats opened their mouths, revealing sharp fangs.
"Ah!"
Caught completely off guard—
Wang Gang felt a searing pain explode at his neck.
He instinctively reached up and grabbed—
Pulling down a fistful of writhing fur.
"Why are these bats suddenly attacking me?!"
Wang Gang was utterly shocked.
Earlier, these bats hadn't attacked him at all—they had merely circled nearby.
So why now?
The intense pain left him no time to think.
He desperately grabbed the bats biting his neck and flung them to the ground.
Soon—
Several bats lay motionless on the floor.
Clutching his bleeding neck, Wang Gang gasped for air.
He quickly took out an item he had used before and sprayed it on the wound, finally feeling slightly better.
But then—
He looked up.
And his face instantly turned pale.
At some point—
Countless black bats had once again surrounded him from all directions.
"Damn it!"
Wang Gang's expression changed drastically.
He immediately turned and sprinted toward the nearest room.
Once inside—
The first thing he saw was the coffin placed in the center of the room.
He was just about to shut the door—
But countless bats had already flown inside.
Without hesitation, Wang Gang threw open the coffin lid and climbed in.
The same scene—
Was also happening to Li Hai.
Except Li Hai's luck was far worse.
Before he could escape—
The swarm of bats had already surrounded him, their sharp teeth tearing into his body.
Very quickly—
Li Hai collapsed to the ground with a dull thud.
The bats dispersed.
On the floor—
Only a shriveled, dried corpse remained.
[A player has died. Current dungeon player count: 2]
"Li Hai… died?"
Hiding inside the coffin, Wang Gang's face twisted with shock.
He couldn't understand what was happening anymore.
Everything had changed far too fast.
So fast that he had no chance to react.
Thump… thump… thump…
The sound of bats crashing into the coffin echoed beside his ears, making him exhale in relief.
If he hadn't acted decisively—
He would've been bitten to death too.
Just thinking about it made him shudder.
...
Tap… tap… tap…
Heh heh heh…
Lin Yu could clearly hear rapid footsteps behind him—
Along with the Blood Clan Queen's playful laughter.
From the sound alone—
She didn't seem interested in playing a cat-and-mouse game.
After dealing with Wang Shan—
She was now coming straight for him.
Realizing this—
Resolve flashed through Lin Yu's eyes.
He abruptly stopped, turned, and pushed open the nearest room.
He hated acting without preparation.
But at this point—
He had no choice but to gamble.
He wanted to see—
Whether the room he chose might contain something that could save his life.
As the door opened—
The coffin in the center of the room entered his view.
The footsteps behind him were still drawing closer.
Without hesitation—
Lin Yu opened the coffin and climbed inside.
"Looks like… this is as far as I go…"
Inside the coffin, Lin Yu frantically searched.
In just a few seconds—
He had checked every inch of it.
Unfortunately—
There wasn't a single item inside.
At this point—
Even if he wanted to get out, it was already too late.
He could clearly hear—
The Blood Clan Queen's footsteps stopping right beside him.
He understood perfectly—
What his fate would be.
Lin Yu simply closed his eyes, quietly waiting for death to arrive.
"At least… I saved the money on a coffin…"
He muttered softly.
As he spoke—
Blood seeped from the corner of his mouth, dripping onto his body.
