The gun did not misfire this time. The bullet struck the edge of the doorway precisely, blasting open a crack and sending splinters flying.
"You can shoot that accurately with your back turned? Do you have eyes in the back of your head?"
A puzzled voice came from above Yang Yi.
That shot had missed. The monster seemed to dodge in advance based on where the muzzle pointed.
So, the instant before he pulled the trigger while aiming at her, she darted inside and crawled swiftly across the planks overhead.
"You set the fire outside too, didn't you? Quite capable!"
The unidentified creature overhead praised him, utterly fearless.
Yang Yi's scalp prickled, and goose bumps rose all over his skin.
He had seen a human head crawling up there.
That was right, just a head!
Judging by her appearance, she should have been a beautiful woman, with regular features and lovely long, curly hair.
Although her eyes were closed, she could still see in the dark, by some unknown means.
She also moved extremely fast, supported by slender tentacles extending beneath her neck as she scuttled along.
At the ends of those tentacles were blades like sickles.
Yang Yi had no doubt about their sharpness.
Five players had already tested them for him-with their own heads!
[You saw an Anomalous Creature. Your Sanity decreased by 10.]
A cold gleam flashed as a sickle slashed toward the back of Yang Yi's neck at incredible speed.
An ordinary person could never have dodged it. Their eyes would not even have been able to keep up; they would not have seen it at all.
But Yang Yi was different.
At the last moment, he turned around and narrowly blocked the strike with the blade of the Sea Serpent's Fang.
Clang!
