I’m Really Scared
Chapter 54: One Cut, Two Worms

A loud "boom" echoed.

The blade's light cut through the dark night like scissors, creating a slit and revealing a glimpse of sky.

Compared to Gao Ye's previous moves, this strike was straightforward and powerful, relying entirely on strength with no technique.

The blade struck, and the tower fell.

Quick and decisive.

Guan Shan couldn't help but exclaim, "This is the level of a level 15 powerhouse? Truly terrifying!" This ally is immensely strong, and Guan Shan loved it.

In his eyes, the giant neck-like structure was severed, spraying blood and almost forming a river. A terrifying roar came from above the neck.

The roar echoed in the darkness, as if an ancient beast was awakening in anger.

Guan Shan raised his flashlight and shivered in fear.

He saw a massive head on the tilted giant neck!

The head's eyes stared downward without a jaw, its mouth stretched open to the neck, filled with writhing flesh instead of teeth.

This alone wouldn't scare the battle-hardened Guan Shan, but the size and the long neck made it extremely eerie.

The severed neck sprouted countless blood vessel-like appendages, which reconnected to the base, supporting the neck again.

More horrifying, the neck split in the middle, revealing rib-like segments that wriggled rhythmically, forming a giant human-headed centipede...

Guan Shan broke into a cold sweat, stepping back while looking at the surrounding human-skin walls. "These walls... are they part of its body? Have I been walking on it all along?"

Oh my god! This is horror at its peak!

Guan Shan's heart raced, and he quickly assessed his usable items while retreating.

From the Mind Flayer, besides miscellaneous weapons and healing potions, he obtained a special item: [Ksitigarbha Statue · Seventh].

It triggered a collectible achievement.

[Ksitigarbha Statue (1/7)]

The only unlocked buff was as follows.

[Immovable]

[Effect: Generates a shield equal to 100% of max HP, lasting 20 seconds; cooldown 60s.]

[Description: Enlightened mind, as firm as diamond.]

This item is a second life!

Guan Shan, holding the item, felt grateful for shooting the elite monster earlier.

No wonder its base HP was low; it had two health bars. If not killed in one shot, it could have retaliated.

While retreating, Guan Shan saw the swordswoman leaping onto the tilting centipede-like neck, fearlessly running towards the head.

Her white robe fluttered in the air, and her long sword traced a silver arc.

Blood vessels emerged from the neck's split, attempting to attack her, but she swiftly cut them down.

In moments, she approached the giant head and drew her sword again!

"She's truly a powerhouse! So brave!"

Guan Shan, watching the fierce assault, felt thrilled.

However, the severed blood vessels wriggled and lunged at him, with mouths full of teeth!

A notification popped up.

[Blood Vessel Parasite (lv.6)]

[HP: 600]

[Description: One cut, two worms.]

"Damn, another monster!"

Guan Shan quickly fired his gun.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Explosive flashes burned the parasites, turning them to ash.

[XP +100] [XP +103] [XP +92]...

Notifications refreshed continuously.

But more blood vessels kept coming. Some reached Guan Shan, forcing him to use his chainsaw.

When cut, the blood vessels split into two, each growing a mouth and becoming two parasites!

"One cut, two worms... Are these things worms?!"

Guan Shan's heart sank. He saw the swordswoman being pushed back by the multiplying parasites.

The faster she cut, the faster they grew, forming a wave larger than the head itself, pressing down menacingly.

Guan Shan shouted, "Don't cut them! They'll multiply! Destroy them completely, or they'll keep growing!"

He activated [Neural Magnetic Field], controlling 78 metal shards in his sleeve, shooting them at the head's eyes.

"Whoosh—"

The shards, propelled by the magnetic field, flew like a meteor shower, piercing the head's eyes and mouth, exiting from the back.

Countless small damage notifications appeared, revealing the monster's weak spot and information.

[Spinal Head Mountain (lv.11)]

[HP: 9344/12000]

[Description: Hey, look up.]

Despite its high HP, the combined attack had already reduced it by nearly 3000, a significant amount.

The ally's power was evident.

But Guan Shan wasn't happy.

His eyes widened, heart skipping a beat, "No boss marker in the info! Why no boss marker?!"

Cold sweat ran down his back, "This thing is just an elite monster?! Where's the real boss?"

He looked around but found nothing.

Only human-skin walls and pools of yellow pus remained. He knew these pools dealt massive instant damage, killing small monsters instantly...

——

When the crane collapsed.

Worker Bee One quickly gathered the "fog" around the crane.

The fog, like a solid, lifted the crane and swept towards Guan Shan and Gao Ye.

As Gao Ye raised her sword, Worker Bee One chuckled.

No one knew that his "fog," though appearing as mist, was actually a swarm of tiny special insects.

They formed the fog, giving it substance.

Using melee weapons only strengthened their resilience, creating endless illusions.

Over the years, he had used this ability to deceive and kill countless enemies, building his reputation. Today, this too...

"Don't use your sword!"

Guan Shan's shout echoed.

Worker Bee One's laughter stopped abruptly, his face darkening as he stared at Guan Shan. How could he know?! This secret was never told, how did he discover it?——
