The golden ball violently crashed through the cave.

Splashing mud obscured vision, rumbling echoes interfered with hearing.

Shen Mo’s gaze pursued the golden ball relentlessly while constantly adjusting his position to avoid being hit. He saw a huge splash erupt ahead, and the golden ball didn’t bounce up again. He immediately quickened his pace and ran over—

“It stopped! Over here!”

Everyone crawled out of the snails using hands and feet, all running toward where Shen Mo went! Then, without caring about anything else, they desperately dug into the mud pits!

That scene was truly both thrilling and comical!

Bai Youwei slowly emerged from the snail, appreciating this spectacle with composed detachment. Once certain mysteries were glimpsed, one unconsciously displayed ease and leisure. She began to enjoy this sense of superiority that transcended life and death.

Very stimulating.

Very addictive.

Especially seeing that man’s pine-like heroic figure standing tall, his broad shoulders, solid back, trim waist, and those legs covered in wet mud—straight and full of power…

Increasingly pleasing to the eye.

A handsome man was one thing, but the aura he unleashed in life-and-death danger was another kind of attraction entirely. Shen Mo clearly possessed both.

Bai Youwei felt she was indeed somewhat perverted. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be randomly thinking about such irrelevant things at a time like this.

Then she thought again: It’s the end of the world—surely people are allowed to be a bit perverted?

She felt at ease again.

“You know how to clear the game?”

A voice suddenly came from beside her, ghostly and cold.

Bai Youwei looked toward the sound and saw Zhang Hua sitting by the shell edge, staring fixedly at her. The lenses of his glasses reflected white light, cold and icy.

Bai Youwei thought for a moment and asked him back: “Do you?”

Zhang Hua raised his head slightly, looking at the people in the distance struggling to find the ball, his wooden expression appearing sinister.

“Our methods aren’t the same,” he said.

Bai Youwei was curious, tilting her head to ask: “Oh? What’s your method?”

And how do you know it’s not the same as what I’m thinking?

But Zhang Hua said no more. He turned and crawled back into the shell, saying: “The frog is coming. Good luck to you all.”

Twenty seconds was truly too short. The cave indeed echoed with the golden ball’s mischievous voice—

“The frog is coming! Insects, hide quickly!”

Before the words finished, the frog came urgently and quickly this time!

Its enormous body surged upward, directly pushing the fleeing people into the air. Bodies were thrown up, then fell down with the mud in a clattering mess!

Falling through midair, they were swiftly stuck by a bright red tongue and rolled into the monster’s mouth!

Bai Youwei was very surprised.

She had originally thought the frog would crawl out slowly like the previous round, then search for suitable targets to attack. She hadn’t expected that this time, before its body had even emerged halfway, it was already devouring people with its gaping mouth!

Teacher Cheng shouted hoarsely from a distance: “Everyone stop moving!—Lie in the mud! Lie in the mud and don’t move!!!”

Frogs had dynamic vision—as long as you didn’t move, they often couldn’t distinguish between “food” and “scenery.”

Those who couldn’t make it into the shells in time all fell prone, hoping that playing dead could help them escape disaster. However, several people made too much noise falling, the rippling splashes exposing their whereabouts. They were instantly swept away by the frog’s long tongue like insects.

Bai Youwei frowned slightly.

She saw Shen Mo moving against the tide, seemingly unaware of what fear was, gripping his knife and viciously stabbing it into the frog’s front leg!

The frog trembled in pain!

He pulled out the knife with the momentum, flipping his body and jumping up. With a leap, he reached the frog’s back, raised the knife again, and forcefully stabbed downward!

“Ribbit!—”

Sizzle!

The frog’s croak and tearing sound rang out simultaneously!

The powerful frog legs jumped up, the mud surged like ocean waves throughout the cave!

When the waves settled, Bai Youwei saw Shen Mo half-hanging on the frog’s body, the small knife in his hand curling up oily green skin—not a drop of blood, exposing the pale white flesh underneath, as if writing a long “1” on the frog’s body—

The frog went mad from pain. After jumping violently twice, it impatiently burrowed into the mud!

“47 seconds.”

Bai Youwei heard Zhang Hua speak from not far away.
