History

Joining Lin Yi

Da Sha persistently followed Lin Yi until Lin Yi allowed him to stay and gave him dry snack noodles. Unable to obtain a name from the boy, who answered with foolish laughter, Lin Yi named him “Da Sha.” Feeding him also registered him as a reserve target for Holy Mother Contribution 7.

When refugees claiming to be from Xiaohe Village approached the convoy, Da Sha’s vacant eyes briefly cleared. He pointed at them and shouted, “Halt! Monsters!” His warning exposed a danger that Elder Qi’s Guide sequence had failed to detect. Recognition of Da Sha as a Sequence Transcendent allowed both him and Lin Yi to enter the core convoy 7 8.

Elder Qi later concluded that an anomaly was hiding among the villagers. Lin Yi eventually identified the skin-wearing creature that had replaced Xiao Chusheng as the entity Da Sha had detected 11 18.

Fighting Beside Lin Yi

After Lin Yi was trapped inside a noodle shop, Da Sha repeatedly punched the cargo compartment blocking the exit, continuing even as his fists bled. Once Lin Yi escaped, he gave Da Sha the Rolling Pin stolen from the Butcher Anomaly 16.

Separated from the convoy, the pair joined Xu Zhong and Clown. Da Sha used the Rolling Pin to hold down an aberration near an overturned school bus while Lin Yi delivered the killing blows. After rejoining the convoy, he accompanied Lin Yi during the confrontation with Lu Sheng and Xiao Chusheng 17 18.

In the graveyard, Da Sha fought three armored weirds at once and escaped covered in wounds. When Lin Yi later collapsed, Da Sha carried him into the vehicle and remained beside him, murmuring “Master” until he woke 22 24.

Rescue in the Purple Grassland

Da Sha defended the roof of Lin Yi’s car against repeated attacks in the purple grassland. Still at Sequence 1, he became exhausted before vines dragged him away. Lin Yi initially declared that he would abandon him, but turned back to attempt a rescue 27.

Lin Yi recovered the unconscious Da Sha from a giant aberration’s feeding area. He briefly concealed him beneath soil and grass while avoiding the surrounding creatures, then retrieved him and fled by car. Clown’s intervention helped them escape the pursuing Nine-Headed Anomaly, and Da Sha later regained consciousness 28 29 30.

Awakening and Final Sacrifice

Inside Ice and Snow City, Da Sha became trapped in an illusion and stood unresponsive. Li Jie carried him during the escape from their shelter; Lin Yi later entrusted him to Clown, and Elder Qi took him aboard the convoy’s heavy truck 33 35 37.

While Lin Yi was being tortured by the Blood Ghost, Da Sha awakened in golden light with his awareness restored. He thanked Elder Qi for caring for him, asked him to look after his master, and flew back toward Ice and Snow City 39.

Da Sha shattered the Nine-Headed Anomaly’s body, broke the Blood Ghost’s bone whip, and destroyed the Blood Ghost. He gave Lin Yi the resulting blood tear and blood-red eye before explaining that some powers came at a price. His body dissolved into golden light, leaving the Rolling Pin behind 40.

His death deeply affected Lin Yi. Later, an old Daoist’s fatal sacrifice reminded Lin Yi of Da Sha; that memory helped move him to take the Daoist’s surviving disciple along despite his resolve to avoid further attachments 46.

Appearance

• Usual expression: Vacant eyes and a foolish grin; he frequently chuckles rather than answering questions 7 16.
• Golden eyes: A faint golden flash appears in his pupils when he recognizes the threat among the refugees 7.
• Awakened appearance: His dull expression disappears, and golden light surrounds his body. During flight, he resembles a golden meteor 39.

Personality

Da Sha is usually cheerful, minimally communicative, and compliant with Lin Yi’s instructions. He follows him while carrying supplies, takes watch when ordered, and attacks threats without hesitation 17 27.

His attachment to Lin Yi extends beyond obedience. He injures his hands trying to reach him, keeps vigil after his collapse, and repeatedly addresses him as “Master.” After regaining awareness, he remains devoted to Lin Yi and knowingly uses the power that ends his own life to save him 16 24 39 40.

His restored awareness also reveals a courteous and playful side: he formally thanks Elder Qi, then asks Lin Yi whether his victory was impressive while rubbing his head in his familiar manner 39 40.

Equipment / Items
