The wind in the valley became agitated.
Yu Sheng didn't know what was happening, but he could clearly feel that the "atmosphere" that filled the entire Otherworld was changing. This feeling was difficult to describe in words. If he had to say it, it was…
He felt that the entire valley was gradually "coming to life."
The distant forest was awakening, the mountains were awakening, the earth was awakening, and even the sky above his head was sending a chilling, cold, and hungry gaze that made his scalp tingle.
He noticed that Hu Li beside him was trembling slightly. The fox demon girl was tightly clutching the food in her hand, but fear appeared on her face. She raised her head, looked at the dark night sky above, and moved back towards Yu Sheng step by step, constantly muttering something. When she got closer, Yu Sheng finally heard the constantly repeated content:
"It was like this when the immortal died… it was like this when the immortal died…"
"What's the situation now?" Irene asked quickly. The little doll also became nervous. At this time, she was holding the kitchen knife in her arms, her whole body tense. "Do you know something?"
However, Hu Li did not answer her, as if she had fallen into a state of unconsciousness again, only knowing to repeat the sentence just now.
And soon, Irene and Yu Sheng both couldn't care less about Hu Li's abnormal situation.
Yu Sheng felt that familiar aura appear nearby. In the corner of his eye, he saw an entity quickly condense in the shadows at the edge of the ruined temple. The deformed and swollen flesh grew in layers, and strange limbs that seemed to be cut from various creatures grew out of the flesh in layers. Dozens of hungry eyes opened on the surface of the monster, and sharp teeth and torn mouthparts constantly appeared between the eyes, letting out a turbid low roar.
Entity-Hunger finally appeared near its prey.
"What the f*ck!" Irene immediately cried out. "This thing is so ugly!"
"Be careful of its sneak attack. The limbs of this thing can all deform, and it can also suddenly grow tentacles and a tail from its body," Yu Sheng immediately reminded, and then said to Hu Li on the side, "You just need to protect yourself later. You have been deeply eroded by this guy, so you can't fight it."
Hu Li's current state was very wrong. She still looked at the sky with a terrified face after the monster appeared, but after hearing Yu Sheng's words, she still nodded blankly. She picked up the scattered food on the ground and retreated, but she didn't dare to retreat too far, as if she was afraid that something would happen to Yu Sheng.
"What's your plan now?" Irene said in a low voice—the monster not far away was still circling, as if it were patiently waiting for something, but this delay only made her feel more and more uneasy. "Don't tell me you're just going to charge up with your bare hands and fight it with military boxing. You didn't even prepare a weapon when you came. At least I'm still carrying a kitchen knife."
Of course, Yu Sheng knew that he hadn't prepared a weapon when he came, because he had tried it before. Most of the structures on this monster were harder than stone. Even if he could chop off a small part of its softer flesh with an axe, the effect would only be better than nothing. So he didn't plan to bring any "weapon" over from the beginning—for an ordinary person who had never received weapon combat training, let alone holding a kitchen knife, even if he really brought a dragon-slaying sword over, he would probably cut himself first.
He had prepared other "killing" methods.
"It's still the idea we discussed at home. You just need to control its movements, just use your threads," Yu Sheng said quickly. "I'll rush up and 'tear a hole' in it later. You keep an eye on it. If I fail, you immediately run with Hu Li. Don't worry about me. Hu Li has a way to survive under that monster's hands, and you won't be actively pursued by hunger…"
Irene was stunned for a moment. "Ah, what then?"
"After I come back to life, we'll regroup and try again. This thing will die eventually."
"Damn it, it's still this simple and crude idea, right? We agreed to try not to use 'resurrection' as a basic attack!"
"This is me 'trying'," Yu Sheng said quickly, but soon he frowned, feeling that the monster not far away was a bit strange. "Why isn't it attacking yet…"
Irene had the same doubt. "I always feel that it's deliberately delaying, as if it's waiting for something—this thing already has the concept of 'strategy'?"
"Then we can't let it wait any longer," Yu Sheng immediately gritted his teeth. "Let's take the initiative!"
As soon as his voice fell, he took the initiative to approach the monster. And at almost the same time, Irene, who was sitting on his shoulder, nimbly flipped over and jumped down from him, and at the same time, she stretched out her right hand towards the monster—the moment she landed, the doll's eyes had turned pitch black, and countless fine, black threads with a strange and cold aura had spread out from her hands, like a rapidly growing and spreading spider web, spreading wildly in the entire space!
All the "spider silk" bypassed Yu Sheng's movement trajectory. He accelerated again in a constantly spreading net of silk. His strengthened body almost pulled an afterimage in the air, and he pounced on the ferocious and terrifying flesh beast!
That monster finally moved. Faced with the "prey's" active attack, it seemed a little surprised, but it still quickly launched a counterattack. A ferocious sharp claw was raised high from the back of the beast and slammed towards the path that Yu Sheng was pouncing on.
At this moment, Yu Sheng suddenly felt that strange… "premonition" again.
He felt which part of the monster's muscles were contracting, felt its desire to attack and the real focus of its gaze at this moment. He seemed to see in advance a tentacle extending from behind the sharp claw, sealing off all possible escape routes for him in the next second…
It was unknown whether it was an illusion, but he felt that his "premonition" this time was more accurate than before. And even… he began to realize that it was not the so-called "spiritual intuition" at all.
Because he now had a real spiritual intuition and had experienced what it felt like. He found that when he predicted the monster's actions, what he "saw" and "felt" was completely different from the so-called spiritual intuition.
When he sensed the monster's actions in advance, it was almost like a first-person perspective.
All the thoughts flashed through in an instant. Yu Sheng crossed the last few meters in the blink of an eye, and the flesh beast's sharp claws also fell.
Yu Sheng did not dodge at all. The corner of his eye saw that the silk threads extending from behind him had already closed in the air. The next moment, countless black lines entangled the monster's limbs, and like a bone-penetrating phantom, they crisscrossed and penetrated its sharp claws, tentacles, and huge mouth…
Cold, numb, sluggish, as if even his thoughts were instantly pierced with thousands of holes, and even his soul was wrapped in a cold spider web…
An overwhelming wave of negative feelings surged up. For a moment, Yu Sheng seemed to see some kind of illusion—he saw that he was trapped in a spider web, with countless spider silks entangled around him, and even penetrating his limbs. And at the edge of the spider web, a scarlet-eyed shadow was spying in the darkness, and it was slowly crawling towards him in a strange and ferocious posture…
"Yu Sheng! Don't be in a daze! I can't hold on much longer!"
A loud shout from his ear suddenly woke Yu Sheng up. He looked up and saw that the flesh beast had been frozen in a strange posture in the center of the layers of black silk, and the ends of the silk were taut, as if they would be forcibly broken by the monster in the next second.
There was no time to think about the "illusion" he had just experienced. Yu Sheng had already pounced on a position on the side of the monster. In this precious opportunity that Irene had fought for, he grabbed the black silk in mid-air with one hand, and with the other hand, he reached into the air, concentrated his mind, and then slowly pulled—
A door appeared. The surface of the door that appeared out of thin air was rippling with a flowing light like a phantom.
Opening a door out of thin air required more energy and time than opening a solid door. Yu Sheng had to concentrate his mind in a relatively stable environment to complete this process. And at this moment, looking at the monster's gradually trembling limbs and the black spider silk that had already begun to slowly crack, even if it was only a few seconds, Yu Sheng felt that these few seconds were as long as a lifetime.
—Although his "lifetime" recently was not very long.
The next second, with the sound of the door opening, the imaginary door finally opened completely.
It was bigger than the doors he had opened before, so big that it was even enough to throw the entire monster in.
A scorching flame spewed out of the door, and even illuminated a large area around the door.
On the other side of the door was a constantly churning lava lake.
It was a "surprise" that Yu Sheng had discovered during his numerous door-opening experiments.
He didn't know where that place was. He only knew that there was endless lava and gushing flames, like a scene from hell.
Entity-Hunger was very powerful, but its threat came more from mental pollution and its "hunger" power, which was almost a kind of rule. As for its materialized "carrier"—compared to the rule, it was actually not very tough.
It could be roasted.
If it couldn't be roasted, then use more firepower.
"Throw it in!"
Yu Sheng shouted at Irene.
"Alright!"
