Half Immortal

a girl who was made into an umbrella and can be used in the instance to resist the risks associated with it to a certain extent, including skinless girls and umbrellas made from skin and bones.】

The white umbrella in his arms turned into a small girl’s phalanx.
It landed in Yan Wei’s palm.

The surrounding skin and bone umbrellas whirled disorderly.
They seemed to have been thoroughly annoyed and did not calm down with the completion of the branch line task.
At the end of the pitch-black cave was a small light.
The light seemed to come from a path.

–It was a possible road to walk through.

Presumably, as long as he could quickly dodge the umbrellas and go down here, he could safely hold this potentially useful finger bone and continue to explore the clues of the matron.

But Yan Wei didn’t go down that path.
He even put the girl’s phalanx, which could resist a portion of attacks from the umbrellas, into the black ring, wore new gloves, and took a step forward — taking the initiative to reach out and grabbed an attacking umbrella!

The ordinary umbrella was not as powerful as the one required by the branch task.
Although it struggled, Yan Wei could still hold it while immune to fatal injuries.
He grasped the umbrella with all his strength, and while surrounded by a pile of umbrellas, he exchanged a pair of shears and other tools from the mall.

“Be good.” The young man chuckled lightly and even patted the murderous umbrella.
“Make it a little easier for me to take it off.”

Without saying a word, he picked up the shears and quickly cut open the surface of the umbrella.

When Lin Zhen was dealing with the umbrellas, Yan Wei discovered that the most challenging part to attack was the tip of an umbrella.
The umbrellas float mid-air while stretched out and swirling.
The canopy of an umbrella is the most difficult to hit, and the arrow can break through the surface without any blocking effect.
Lin Zhen usually hits the rib of these umbrellas.
When striking the handle or the short rib, the umbrella will recoil back a lot, but if it hits the tip of the umbrella, the umbrella will only fall back a step or two and then fly forward again.

Yan Wei had a rough guess — the tip is the power source of these umbrellas!

He quickly and cleanly cut off the umbrella’s canopy, got another tool, and fiercely disassembled the umbrella by attacking it more than a hundred times.

When Yan Wei completely dismantled the rib, a phalanx-like object fell out at the tip of the umbrella.

–It was similar to the girl’s phalanx that Yan Wei acquired.
It was a phalanx from a pinky.

But the pinky phalanx seemed to be thicker than that of a girl’s.
The length was also too long, like a man’s phalanx.

As soon as Yan Wei got the finger bone, the prompt sound rang in his mind.

【Congratulations on acquiring the instance item: An ordinary victim’s phalanx.
The phalanx originates from a deceased used to create an umbrella.
Its effect is temporarily unknown.】

Unknown effect?

That is to say, it works, but it was not the time to discover its function.

In addition… the “ordinary victim” was different from the five skinless girls.
The people who were made into umbrellas were called ordinary victims.
The player who died from being skinned and boned yesterday was the so-called “ordinary victim”.

And all of the umbrellas represent people the girls skinned and boned.

Yan Wei understood.
He placed the bone in the black ring and did not immediately make a conjecture to gain points.
Instead, he rolled up his sleeves and set his eyes on the remaining one hundred and twenty-five skin and bone umbrellas.

The umbrellas were smooth and lustrous in white.
Even in a dim cave, they still reflected the white light slightly, like a white moon concealed with the breath of death.
The smell of decay and blood filled the cave.
Intertwined with the mysterious umbrellas, it was strange and indescribable.

But the young man blinked, his eyelashes trembled, and the corner of his eyes delineated a happy expression.

He stepped forward and grabbed another umbrella.

A few minutes later, Yan Wei heard the same sound in his mind.

【Congratulations on acquiring the instance item: An ordinary victim’s phalanx.
The phalanx originates from a deceased used to create an umbrella.
Its effect is temporarily unknown.】

A few moments later–

【Congratulations on acquiring the instance item: An ordinary victim’s phalanx.
The phalanx originates from a deceased used to create an umbrella.
Its effect is temporarily unknown.】
…

【Congratulations on acquiring the instance item: An ordinary victim’s phalanx.

There were bones scattered on the ground.
Human skin instantly decayed into nothingness after leaving the umbrella.
Yan Wei was in a pile of tibias and backbones and picked up another umbrella to separate.

At the moment, he stacked one hundred and twenty-five finger bones from ordinary umbrellas in his ring.

The last remaining umbrella seemed to finally feel the horror of the young man in front of it and trembled mid-air.
Surprisingly, it moved in the opposite direction from where Yan Wei was — that is, the path leading to a deeper area behind the cave.

Yan Wei has gathered all the phalanxes in this cave except for the one in front.
He was not willing to watch this umbrella fly away.

He also originally wanted to continue walking on that road.
Yan Wei raised his foot and chased after it.
Facing the mindless umbrella, he said, “Don’t run, buddy.
In any case, you’re not even a living thing.
I’m going to tear you apart.”

It ignored him and swiftly flew as it rotated.

The umbrella, which gave a psychological shadow to the players last evening, was now being chased by a young man in a windbreaker.
The instance-enhanced body had a speed unmatched by ordinary people.
Yan Wei was not thrown off by the umbrella and approached the fleeing object step by step.

In the casino, the instance Ankang Ancient Town displayed the proportion of bets for each player.

The screens corresponding to the twelve players were entirely different.
Aside from the dead player, whose screen turned gray, and Yan Wei and Ning Yi’s projections which have been black the entire time, the remaining players have all turned on their perspectives.

Jiang Xiu’s screen exhibits him having several encounters with residents of the ancient town and slowly uncovering some things about the place.
At the bottom of his projection, his betting ratio was rapidly soaring.

Yan Mingguang, Yu Feizhou, and Lin Zhen’s live broadcasts were together.
Under the leadership of Lin Zhen, the three of them walked down the road deep in the well, apparently to locate Yan Wei.

The people in Yuemang who were paying attention to the instance looked much better.

–To them, searching for Yan Wei was equivalent to squandering time to look for new clues.

On the matron’s side, the four people have been below the well for a long time.
Except for Yan Mingguang’s acquisition of the girl’s phalanx, there was no progress at all, and there was not a single notification for a first answer point.
They were also still looking for Yan Wei together.
There may be no progress tonight.

Jiang Xiu’s side had a good chance of acquiring a point.

The time to bet was coming to an end.
Jiang Xiu’s side was constantly being bet on while others blindly betted on Ning Yi.
Yan Mingguang’s betting ratio began to decline gradually.

“…Why waste time looking for a useless person when you’re racing against the clock in first answer mode? How could a potential player like Yan be indecisive on this sort of matter? The one he brought in for entertainment will die when he dies.”

“Speaking of which, this Yan Wei is not dead yet? Didn’t Lin Zhen tell them that Yan Wei was surrounded by umbrellas when he left?”

“Who knows.
Maybe a ghost caught him, but because it isn’t night yet, it hasn’t skinned him yet.”

The countdown to the bet has almost reached the end.
With only 30 seconds remaining, the betting channel of the instance Ankang Ancient Town will soon be completely closed.

The players watching have chosen their bet, with Jiang Xiu, Ning Yi, and Yu Feizhou each holding a high percentage of bets, followed by Yan Mingguang and Lin Zen, who had no intention of winning.
Yan Wei’s betting ratio was the lowest among the eleven living players: 0.88%.

Gao Ming was hidden in the crowd, looking at Yan Mingguang’s perspective.
The betting information showed that his bet on Yan Wei never changed.

The game attracted the majority of low-level players.
People crowded in front of the instance in the casino, and the players’ voices were packed.

“Hey, after Song Yu buried his roommate, he turned off his perspective.
Does he have any props or abilities that he can’t let others know about?”

“I’m curious about Lin Zhen’s ability.
Both Lin Zhen and Yu Feizhou have ascended the tower more than three times.
Players who have successfully ascended the tower three times in a row will get a small skill gifted by the tower.
Yu Feizhou’s is self-injury to improve his strength.
Lin Zen closes the projection every time he uses his ability.
Until now, nobody knows…”

“Wait a minute! ! Look at the projection! The thing that flew in front of them… is an umbrella?”

“It’s an umbrella! Aren’t they heading in Yan Wei’s direction? The umbrella must have flown over to attack the three of them.
Isn’t that Yan Wei inauspicious?”

“No… why is there a person behind the umbrella?”

……

The sudden flying umbrella made Yan Mingguang subconsciously take out his weapon.

Lin Zhen raised the bow in his hand and fully extended the bowstring.
The small dagger in the hand of Yu Fei Zhou hurled out, and together with Yan Mingguang’s long whip, reached the handle of the umbrella.

Yan Wei chased after the umbrella and ran around the corner, appearing in front of the three people.
Yan Mingguang and the others have just happened to smash the umbrella.

The young man immediately restrained the smile hanging on the corner of his mouth, and the craftiness in his light brown eyes quickly dispersed.

The umbrella crashed to the ground.
The glossy white umbrella canopy instantly decayed, and the broken bones scattered with the phalanx among the fragments.
It was just that Yu Feizhou and the others didn’t know the existence of the deceased’s phalanx.
They didn’t even take a look at the shattered umbrella.

Yu Feizhou caught the small dagger that was whirling back with his hand.
In a flash, he saw the bright-eyed young man stumble and trip over a rock in the cave.
Dirt immediately stained the youth’s cheeks, and the corner of his eye even had a bit of reddish skin.

Yan Wei fell to the ground, his slightly soiled face illuminated by a faint light.
He had a panicked look.
“Help! There’s a lot of umbrellas chasing me in the back…”
