Qiu Hong gritted her teeth hard and closed her eyes. ROAR!! A beastly roar that shook the mountains caused the entire water park to tremble. In a flash of lightning, the giant python darted backward. By the time Qiu Hong opened her eyes again, the silver-ringed python was already coiled in a striking posture, coldly watching her from behind. Qiu Hong glanced back and saw a saber-toothed tiger, towering as if it could touch the sky, walking through the splashing water toward them. The…

Wang Jinyu pulled out a jar. It looked like an ordinary glass jar of canned mandarins—round-bodied with a small mouth—but it shimmered with iridescent, multicolored light. It was obvious to all: this was an S-class—or higher—artifact. Its very presence radiated intimidation. With a flick of Wang Jinyu’s finger, the jar’s lid slowly began to unscrew. Creeeaak. It was about to open! The hot, stifling cavern was filled with people quietly fanning themselves. The crowd’s…

“Waaahaha!!” Splash! Qiu Youqing, with Gu Yingying in her arms, lay flat on an inflatable tube, speeding down the chute—an arc of water burst around them, spraying high into the air. The cool, damp wind swept across her face, tickling her skin, so cold it made her shiver all over—a happiness almost too much to bear. “So comfy!! So this is a water slide!” “Isn’t it great?” Yang Ying called out with a loud laugh. Blessed with agility, she was a speed-type enhancer with…

The monster raised its twisted limbs, erupting in a light as blistering as the midday sun.The one who should have died was Qiu Youqing, but Teacher Lin pushed her aside. The light detonated, and in the blink of an eye swallowed Teacher Lin whole. “Lin Ma!!!” Qiu Youqing used all her strength to try and shield Teacher Lin, but Old Shen's hands clamped down like iron pincers, dragging her away. As the brightness faded, Teacher Lin's body, under the intense heat, charred and withered, twisting…

“Water…” A water park? Was this even Chinese? For a moment, no one knew how to respond to that. As soon as Si Zhiyan finished speaking, it was as if a mute button had been pressed—the crowd froze, expressions caught in suspended animation. The river still flowed overhead, cool droplets splashing down like living things, striking parched skin made tight and dry from the heat. Most of the players now trapped here had come with their families, trekking over lava fields for days to reach…

By now, chaos had erupted outside the ice drink shop. “What the hell is going on?!” “What happened? Did we trigger some kind of dungeon?” Amid countless cries of confusion and panic, one group gritted their teeth. “This is the doing of the Silver Ring Alliance!” Qiu Hong, a tall woman with red hair, spat on the ground and clenched the taro milk tea in her hand. Beside her stood Lü Buqing, a man in a baseball cap who somewhat resembled a marmot. He too gritted his teeth. “I…

"Uh... so in the end, you just dumped that guy into the cesspit?"Si Zhiyan asked hesitantly.Wang Jianguo hung his head, half-kneeling before him, nodding gravely.@All the best stories at Jinjiang Literature City"Yes, sir.""I was wrong. I truly was. I really didn’t expect that he’d turn out to be a serpentine beast-tamer... It’s just that I hit him so fast, he didn’t even have time to transform...""And I never expected that, after getting shoved into the cesspit, and choking and rolling a few rounds…

Boom!!The rocks behind collapsed with a thunderous crash, blasting open that narrow crevice that only allowed passage by turning sideways.Xiao Qiu’s figure, swallowed by flame, was buried beneath the falling stones.Through the swirling dust, a squad emerged.Leading them was a man dressed in sleek green silk, his long hair tied in a ponytail at the back. His eyes, narrow and slanted upwards with a line of bright green at the outer corners, were strangely androgynous—not at all gaudy, but carrying a…

On the other side of the Holy Grail, there was nothing but utter, impenetrable darkness—not even a hand in front of one’s face was visible.It was exactly like before, when inside the Frosthorn Rabbit.Si Zhiyan called out, “Anderson?”From the darkness came a rapid commotion as the beam of a flashlight flicked on, revealing Anderson’s face at the cave entrance: “Here, sir.”It turned out that while Si Zhiyan was busy with preparations, Shen Dongming had led several people down through the…

"Water..."Water? What on earth could that mean?Shen Dongming stood frozen on the spot.He lowered his head and exchanged a glance with Qiu Qing behind him. The entire group looked at each other in confusion, as if they had suddenly forgotten how to read Chinese.Was it to be taken literally?A fruit-and-iced-drinks milk tea shop?In this wasteland buried under molten rock?For a moment, Shen Dongming had no idea how to respond politely.Wang Jianguo gave a chuckle. The first time everyone set foot on the farm,…

Andersen was about to say something when a gust of sand swept up from the distance, and once more the storm rolled in.The weather in the lava region was harsh and unpredictable. Andersen shook his head, gestured politely for everyone to take cover, and led the group to sit in a sheltered spot.Wang Jianguo didn’t bother with any rope—he just held Qiu Youqing by the wrist, and that was enough to immobilize the little thief. When he finally let go, Qiu Youqing darted like a rabbit behind Old Shen.The…

So thirsty, so thirsty...Qiu Youqing clutched the cloth bundle to his chest as he ran at full speed.Fourteen years old this year, Qiu Youqing had never had enough to eat, his growth stunted— barely one meter fifty in height— but he ran like none other, faster than anyone else. And that was only natural, for otherwise Qiu Youqing wouldn't have survived this long.The scorching wind slashed across his head and face like blades. The boy's breath came in the ragged sound of a bellows, his throat feeling as…

Do you still wish to believe in her, to fight for her?” Wako replied. , and grant her the release she was destined for, I would be eternally grateful.]"Very well," Si Zhiyan nodded.

Si Zhiyan raised his brows slightly, then resumed his usual composure and smiled:“...You have something you wish to speak to me about, do you not?”He tapped lightly on the table. “Come in, then.”Without Si Zhiyan’s permission, nothing could enter the Farm Owner’s cabin at will.Looking more closely, the shadow had already vanished.Si Zhiyan turned back, and the little wooden doll now stood at his side, her charcoal smile pressed close to him....He was starting to get used to it.Si Zhiyan leaned…

Si Zhiyan opened the shop and navigated to the section.The forest spanned a vast area, yet it contained only two main functional zones: the hunting grounds and the hot spring inn. Both covered a considerable expanse, but compared to the endless forest itself, they still amounted to only a small portion. Even against the well-utilized farm meadows, their share looked modest.Si Zhiyan circled a large plot near the edge of the main transport route and purchased the .Ding!Instantly, the trees in the…

The next tier of the Eye’s trial? Si Zhiyan shook his head slightly. “You haven’t, right? I haven’t either,” said Nidhogg, his dragon wings giving a slight twitch. “Seven years now, the sword of Damocles has been hanging over us—long enough that I’m almost starting to forget…” “But you’re not like me, Boss.”Nidhogg bared his sharp canines in a grin.“I can feel that thing’s malice toward you… Don’t expect you’ll have as much time as I did.” Si Zhiyan smiled,…

“…………” Nidhogg fell into a long silence. Flesh gradually began to regrow. After the sacrifice ended, his remaining limbs started, ever so slowly, to knit themselves back together. Shi He knelt at his side. Nidhogg lifted his gaze; when their eyes briefly met, he looked away as quickly as lightning, only to meet Si Zhiyan’s calm, steady eyes. Si Zhiyan looked down at Nidhogg’s uneasy posture (though he was now unable to either sit or stand), saying nothing at all. After a…

Shi He's shoulders trembled lightly. Nidhogg did not dare to meet his gaze, but Shi He was no longer crying. The boy lowered his head, taking a long time to steady his breathing. Step by step… the tips of his shoes pressed into pools of blood, crossing through heaps of severed limbs and entrails. Ripples spread across the blood. A warm sensation came from his side. Shi He knelt down beside him, in the blood that pooled around them. The boy’s fingertips hovered in the air, trembling…
