Chapter 1016: Chapter 1016: Medusa 6

Everyone’s actions became more cautious.

Shen Mo took only one step forward when another snake slithered up his shoe.

He couldn’t help but suspect that these black snakes were a defensive strategy of Medusa’s.

—When players were far away, there were no snakes; as soon as players started to approach, snakes appeared; and as players continued to draw near Medusa, snakes would wind around their bodies and begin to attack!

So, if he continued to move forward, would his body be completely covered with black snakes?

...The likelihood was great. He remembered that this game demanded the utmost psychological endurance, so perhaps the challenge was designed to force players to overcome their fear of snakes from a psychological standpoint?

Shen Mo pondered slowly, his gaze falling on the people ahead.

They seemed to realize that the number of snakes was increasing, so some stood still, choosing to stay in place this round.

They probably felt that there was no need to push themselves too hard, as there were so many teammates. As long as one person won, they all would win.

Shen Mo didn’t plan to let them be so complacent. After scouting the path ahead and identifying good footholds, he proceeded several steps forward with swift, adept movements, his footsteps silent, surpassing them by half a meter with ease!

Those who had been at the front were startled and hurriedly took a step forward!

Their swords scraped against the Stalagmite, generating noise, alerting the female monster, who turned her face towards them once more!

Her ice-cold and terrifying vertical pupils fixated on them!

Some managed to stabilize their bodies in time.

Others, however, were not so lucky; they slipped and fell, petrifying on the spot!

Shen Mo stood silently, eyeing Medusa coldly.

Closer now, he could see that the black snakes on the ground had clearly slithered out of her snakes-for-hair, no wonder the closer one got, the more snakes there were.

Pain coursed through his legs again as venomous fangs pierced his skin, causing his nerves to go numb momentarily.

Shen Mo’s frown was barely perceptible as he maintained his still posture.

Snakes had coiled around his legs, and one had even climbed up to his waist, the scales scraping against the fabric of his clothes, carrying the distinct, pungent odor of cold-blooded animals.

This kind of proximity posed a threat that was difficult to guard against, as if out of nowhere one could be bitten.

Finally, Medusa turned back to her original face, which was so beautiful it was venomous, even her smile as if laced with poison.

"The person at the very front, do you have a question you’d like to ask me?"

This time, the person in the forefront was Shen Mo.

There were too many questions he wanted to ask.

He wanted to know how Bai Youwei was doing, wanted to know his companions’ progress, wanted to know what the world had become, and wanted to know what victory would bring.

Perhaps he had been silent for too long; the she-demon smiled slightly, her voice soft and slow:

"While the rules of the game require me to answer players’ questions, I must remind you... seeking so-called answers is meaningless and dangerous. There’s only one way to achieve victory here, and that is, to kill me with the sword in your hand."

"Where does the doll game come from?" Shen Mo suddenly spoke.

The female monster was taken aback for a moment before laughing lightly: "Hmm, that is a good question... However, I’m afraid I’m going to disappoint you because my answer is that it has always been there, never vanished. Since it has always existed here, there is no point in asking where it comes from."

Shen Mo frowned and, lifting his sword, moved forward several steps with extreme speed, advancing over ten meters!

The moment his foot steadied, the encircling snakes were all attracted to him, endlessly climbing up his body! Fangs followed suit, striking relentlessly!

Bursts of piercing pain!

Shen Mo clenched his teeth and bore it.

This time, he still stood at the forefront, now having increased the distance between himself and the others behind him.

He was determined to kill Medusa with ease, no matter how many more snakes came at him, he would not be afraid.

But deep down, he still wanted to know, what exactly was the doll game?

"What is it?" Shen Mo asked in a deep voice, "Or should I try a different question, why does the doll game exist?"
