Chapter 193: Fleeing in a hurry
The monster was still crawling towards the bun, and the twisted human figure sewn on it stretched out its arms towards the bun:

"Why...are you not talking anymore..."

"I want to hear a story..."

"Valena is so lonely here alone."

Mantou's expression showed not only fear, but also grief and indignation at the end of another relationship. It would have been fine to find out in real life that the other person he met online was a photo fraud, but he didn't expect that in the game world, he would be deceived by illusions!

As expected, humans are visual animals, and steamed buns are no exception.

"Monster, please give me your sincerity!"

"Give me back Miss Valena!"

Mantou was filled with grief and anger. He drew the silver sword from his waist without hesitation and chopped at the monster with all his might.

Singo, who was not far away, also bent his bow and shot an arrow with enough force to penetrate armor.

"Dang! Dang!"

Only two crisp sounds were heard, sparks flew, and the sword blades and arrows were bounced off by the monster's tough and thick skin and extremely hard scales, without causing any damage. The flesh and blood was still wriggling, extending its mucus-covered tentacles to wrap around the silver sword and actually swallowed it alive.

"Why...why do you want to...hurt me?"

"Mantou...Brother..."

“Why is everyone like this?”

The human-shaped piece of meat squirmed, and the sound gradually changed from a soft female voice to a low roar, and finally to a noisy shriek mixed with several sounds, which made Mantou terrified.

Those pieces of flesh squirmed and trembled, transforming into various twisted shapes on the spot.

"Then I can only keep you forever!"

Seeing that their attacks had no way of breaking through the defense, Singo immediately yelled at Mantou, "Run! Run!"

"We can't beat this thing at all!"

"How should I know——"

Mantou was so sad that he could not even cry. He quickly followed Singo and started running away in panic.

Singo said solemnly: "This so-called wooden house and girl are all illusions. Fortunately, I bought the True Knowledge Potion in advance, which allows me to see through the illusion. Otherwise, you would have died here!"

"That cup of tea is definitely problematic. I'm afraid that after you finish drinking it, you will completely become a slave here."

Mantou looked back at the potion on the ground with lingering fear, then looked around, only to see cold metal walls all around, covered with mottled bloodstains, huge scratches from unknown creatures, and even chaotic and weird symbols.

And the monster that had been silent for a long time began to move again.

"Why--"

A series of strange noises were heard.

The roar seemed to be emitted by the resonance of many organs. From it, one could hear the call of the girl, the howl of the frost wolf, the roar of the giant and even the roar of the white dragon. It made Mantou and the other man feel creepy and they fell into a state of fear for a moment.

"That's Long Wei!"

"This monster might really be a dragon vein!"

"Damn, the dragons in this world have such unique tastes. They must be so hungry to eat something like this."

This familiar feeling of oppression set off alarm bells in Singo's heart.

But Singo quickly came to his senses and got rid of this abnormal state. He looked up at the monster that was approaching and waving its tentacles, and glanced at Mantou who was still in fear. In an instant, he thought of a solution.

"Roar--"

Another dragon roar was heard.

However, this time it was Singo who launched the [Dragon Roar Charge]. Facing the dragon roar that came from Cassius and had a higher dragon power, even the terrifying stitched monster was frightened for a moment, and the several flesh tentacles that attacked the two of them were frozen in the air.

"Snapped!"

Singo slapped Mantou, who had a frightened face, to wake him up.

"I can't control it for long. This monster is about to wake up. Run away!"

Mantou covered his red face with his hands and ran away with gritted teeth.

"Xin Gou, you are taking revenge on me personally."

"Didn't I wake you up? You're almost kissing this weird thing of the K-type, how embarrassing."

"you--"

Mantou's face suddenly darkened, and it looked like water was dripping out of it. He wondered in his heart whether he should kill Xin Gou to silence him, in case the news leaked out and he would die socially.

If the scene just now was recorded and posted on the forum, he would lose all face. It would probably become a classic video like "The Unspeakable Thirty Seconds of the White Shark and the Old Vampire", attracting countless people to check in and watch.

"elder brother--"

"Come back and stay with me!"

The "sweet" voice made Mantou feel creepy and his scalp tingled.

The monster behind him was crawling closer, its scales all over its body shaking. Fortunately, its three-meter-tall body was too large and twisted, and not very coordinated. Its flesh and blood were squeezed against the wall, making it difficult to move quickly in the narrow passage.

This allowed them to gain some distance, enter a secret door, and hastily escape the pursuit of "Valena".

"return!"

At the last moment before Mantou and the other man left, "Valena" opened her incredibly wide mouth, with even blood threads connecting her upper and lower jaws, and horrible icy breath spurted out from the depths of her throat. The extremely cold air that blew in their faces condensed the mist along the way into ice, and even covered the door with a thick layer of solid ice.

"huh, huh"

"Xin Gou, you might as well not tell me and let me die in this gentle place."

Mantou muttered softly, as if he was savoring the tenderness just now, but when he thought of his original body, his expression turned ugly again.

"What the hell is this?"

"It's your dear Miss Valena."

Singo deliberately used a corny tone to mock.

"Go away——"

Mantou's face was flushed and he looked sad. He was originally immersed in the pleasure of being with a beautiful woman, but Singo exposed the truth. He discovered that this so-called "beauty" was a monster stitched together from corpse parts. He was immediately devastated and has not recovered yet.

Singo rolled his eyes at him disdainfully: "You are such a loser, you deserve to be single forever."

"That last spit was terrifying. If it hit us, we would most likely be frozen into ice. As far as I know, this should be the bloodline of the white dragon among the five-colored dragons. White dragons are distributed in the Anzeta Wasteland."

Then, he looked around, stroking his chin and said, "As for this place, it should be the legendary Midnight Demon Tower. It has a history of at least a hundred years. It is said that extremely terrifying beings are imprisoned inside. There are very few survivors who have entered the tower, and few people have been able to escape unscathed."

Mantou seemed to suddenly remember something and asked, "By the way, where is Brother Zhan Kuang?"

Singo shook his head. "I don't know. I got separated from him when I met the Jackal before. But Brother Zhan Kuang has a strong mind. He once killed a succubus in a game. He won't make such a stupid mistake as you."

Mantou's face turned red with anxiety, but he was speechless.

"I--"

Singo patted his shoulder and said earnestly: "Mantou, I advise you to take care of yourself."
