Shaken Awake! (1/2, Autumn Subscription)

I'd been careless...

I'd gotten a little carried away, thinking my strength had improved... I'd forgotten how terrifying and troublesome anomalies were. I'd nearly been done in by one!

Fang Yue looked grim as he lifted his foot to inspect it.

Sure enough, without him noticing, two thumb-sized holes had appeared on the sole of his foot.

It seemed that only two Great White Worms had initially burrowed into his body. After absorbing nutrients, they had no doubt reproduced into who knew how many more.

The most terrifying thing about Symbiotic Anomalies was their ability to transform their hosts!

If not dealt with immediately, these anomalies would gradually replace a human's vital organs with themselves.

For example, if he let things go on any longer, the Great White Worms might eat his heart, then curl up where it had been and connect to his other blood vessels, becoming a replacement heart... one that could take his life at any moment!

If things reached that point, it would all be over!

Fang Yue's palms and the soles of his feet were drenched in cold sweat, and his whole body trembled.

The Anomaly Line had now synchronized to the point where dying in the game meant dying in reality.

So he absolutely couldn't afford to die in the game.

He circulated the surging inner force of the Human Rank Initial Stage, making it violently vibrate throughout his body.

An invisible wave of qi burst out from Fang Yue's body, knocking the startled Yang Hongxia several steps back and sending her tumbling to the ground.

When she looked up again, the air around Fang Yue seemed to be faintly distorting.

Fang Yue let out a thunderous shout.

BANG!!

Black qi coiled around him as the wave of qi surrounding his body suddenly surged!
