Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Chapter 1010: Chapter 565: I Really Don’t Want to Die (2)

Finally, before those already frenzied mutant creatures could harm her, she grasped the Crystal Ball still emitting a dazzling white glow mixed with faint red streaks.

In that instant, she felt her palm scorched intensely.

And in the same moment, she put the Crystal Ball into her backpack.

She immediately glanced at the surrounding mutant creatures, only to find that they still attacked her with maniacal intent.

They still regarded her as the target!

No way!

She looked back at her treehouse.

A distance of more than twenty meters, in her current state, she couldn’t make it!

For a moment, she desperately wanted to throw the Crystal Ball away.

The creatures must be attracted to the Crystal Ball. If she threw it away, maybe she wouldn’t be noticed?

But... in her current condition, she couldn’t throw the Crystal Ball very far!

And the Crystal Ball contained information crucial to her survival...

She suddenly noticed the ring on her hand.

And she instantly recalled what No. 5 said.

No. 5 Fruit, the backpack isn’t considered a spatial storage tool, at most it’s a compression tool. But this ring is a real space tool!

If she put the Crystal Ball into the ring, would it have any effect?

In this crisis, she had no time to think further.

Just do it!

She immediately turned the ring.

With a loud "clang," a massive metal pillar suddenly stood on the spot, causing the ground to tremble slightly and momentarily halting the advancing mutant creatures.

The bolts from the treehouse crossbow were completely exhausted.

This was the last chance!

Shi Wanyun immediately turned the ring and put the Crystal Ball into this ring that could only store one item.

At the moment of insertion, the roar of the beasts around her suddenly diminished greatly.

"Did... it succeed?" Shi Wanyun weakly sat on the ground, looking around.

The blood patterns on these mutant creatures were no longer as scarlet as before and had dimmed, making them no different from ordinary mutant creatures.

They even stopped in their tracks, exchanging puzzled glances with the nearby creatures, seemingly not understanding why they had been so frenzied just now.

Shi Wanyun let out a gentle sigh of relief, leaning against the metal pillar she had just positioned on the ground from the ring, gently panting.

Yet she still dared not make any big movements, cautiously watching the beast group that had ceased attacking.

Although these mutant creatures were no longer acting as crazily as before, they were still ferocious Mutant Creatures.

Even when not in a frenzy, these mutant creatures might very well notice her and launch an attack.

In her current state, she had no strength to fight back.

"Please don’t notice me anymore, just leave..." Shi Wanyun silently pleaded in her heart.

But...

Things didn’t go as smoothly as she hoped.

A few nearby mutant creatures still noticed this "delicious meal".

They slowly strolled toward her.

At this moment, Shi Wanyun, due to the exhausting and vigorous movements earlier, found her already weakened body in even worse shape, unable to lift her hand.

"Is it completely over..." Shi Wanyun’s eyes carried a faint trace of despair.

Perhaps because of experiencing the extreme terror and panic of being watched by the beasts, being surrounded by mutant creatures, she didn’t show any undue behavior.

Instead, she sat still, gazing at the sun radiating intense heat.

"So dazzling... my eyes hurt..." Shi Wanyun felt her eyes sting, her vision slowly blurring and turning red.

"Is today’s sunlight... this blinding?" she murmured.

Through the blurry vision, she saw several mutant creatures pouncing towards her.

"I really... don’t want to die..."

...

The scene abruptly stopped here.

Xu Xin was engulfed in darkness once more.

He opened his eyes and found Shi Wanyun no longer pressed against his forehead but turned aside.

"What happened next?"

"I was torn apart by the beasts," Shi Wanyun said softly.

Really torn apart?

"But you survived," Xu Xin looked over her body.

Completely intact, with no part missing.

"I died. I have died once," Shi Wanyun gazed at him, her eyes slightly vacant. "Bitten to death."

Died...

He immediately thought of Lou Fei’Er and others.

Revival from a near-death state?

So she was actually bitten to death by those mutant creatures?

"It was very painful. That’s why I interrupted the memory," Shi Wanyun said softly, "I don’t want to experience being bitten to death again."

...Her kind of death was indeed too tragic.

Previously, Ma Hongwei had also suffered a tragic death, crushed to death by the Lake Giant Python.

But his death, while utterly desperate and painful, was merely instantaneous.

Being torn apart by beasts wouldn’t be as quick.

"..." Xu Xin found himself at a loss for words, gently patting her shoulder, "It’s all in the past."

As Xu Xin patted her shoulder, her body trembled slightly.

"Let’s continue," Shi Wanyun said softly, "Let’s finish quickly, I’m a bit tired and want to rest."

"Okay."

...

When she opened her eyes again, she still found herself in the same position.

She glanced over her body.
