Forces of Temptation

Fear of the Full Moon

He Yinchuan responded extremely quickly.

Rather than retreating, he moved forward. He rolled flexibly in the snow while pulling a dagger out of his boots. Before the sound of unsheathing had disappeared, a cold light waved at the bear man’s waist and abdomen.

This near suicide behavior went beyond the judgment of the bear man.

He was severely slashed in the waist and his entire body was hit by He Yinchuan, who suddenly rushed up. His back fell to the ground.

He Yinchuan didn’t try to use his body to suppress this human-shaped black bear. He took the handle of the knife that pierced the waist and turned the handle while falling into the snow. He was reaching out to grab the handle of another dagger when an ominous feeling came from behind him.

He Yinchuan acted out of intuition. He pulled out the dagger at the speed of light and turned back.

There was a mouthful of steel teeth. At the speed of light, the teeth bit the dagger he was holding into steel fragments!

In an instant, only half of the dagger in He Yinchuan’s hand was left!

The bear man’s movements were much faster and more flexible than his body looked!

He Yinchuan gritted his teeth and became fiercer.

In just a few seconds, he made three choices.

The third choice was the same as the previous two.

He still didn’t choose to back down.

He pulled out the dagger from the bear man's waist. Only a bit of black blood was brought out. The other hand held remnants of the sharp dagger and he slashed it fiercely at the bear man’s neck.

He Yinchuan’s fighting style was to completely go up and play with people.

Even if the bear man was very powerful and flexible, he couldn’t expect He Yinchuan to act completely contrary to a normal human’s desire for survival.

He was puzzled as he grabbed He Yinchuan’s right hand and arm that intended to cut his throat.

He used just a bit of effort and the group of people could hear the cracking of bones through the wind and snow.

He Yinchuan roared. He threw the dagger in the air, grabbed it with his other hand and slashed the dagger horizontally across the bear man’s throat.

The sharp blade with ice pierced the skin of the neck.

However, the bear man still felt no pain as he reached out to grab He Yinchuan’s neck.

His hand was the size of a fan.

In contrast, He Yinchuan’s neck seemed unusually weak and couldn’t withstand a single bit of the bear man’s strength.

At this moment, Zhou Ao silently moved from behind and jumped onto the bear man’s back.

The tightly wrapped bandages around his arms loosened and moved like snakes, wrapping around the bear man’s neck.

Li Yinhang was shocked to discover that after the bandages were loosened, there was nothing under the bandages!

Zhou Ao’s arms and arms were long gone.

He was the captain of the fire brigade when he entered the game.

He volunteered for this so he shouldn’t have a disability.

Li Yinhang shuddered as she wondered what instance he had lost his arms in.

Fortunately, these bandages were obviously items and Zhou Ao used them well.

The bandages followed the bear man’s cheeks like vines and climbed upwards, wrapping tightly around his eyes.

The bear man was shocked.

His vision dimmed and he lost his goal. The hands grabbing He Yinchuan loosened slightly.

He Yinchuan endured the pain and seized the opportunity to step on his chest.

As he was being strangled, Zhou Ao had tacitly left the handle of the dagger outside for him to use.

He Yinchuan cooperated and drew the dagger again. He used the full strength of his arm and slashed at the weird shape of the man’s leg joints.

The bear man was disabled.

The sharpness of this dagger wasn’t enough to cut human bones but he could only try it!

As long as he ruined one of the bear man’s legs, they would be able to hold him back a bit!

It wasn’t known what type of material it was but an abnormal change suddenly occurred.

The moment the dagger’s sharp blade was going to sweep over the knees, the bear man’s boots wriggled strangely.

The creature inside seemed to have its own activity. It opened the boots and grabbed He Yinchuan’s dagger with a tight force!

It was actually a weird arm inside the bear man’s boots!

No wonder why it didn’t match the thickness of the bear man's legs at all.

Besides, this hand was very strange.

There were sticky webs between the five fingers.

It was like a cross between a frog and a person and it looked like dead bark in the moonlight.

It was also as hard as steel.

In other words, it wasn’t a hand that belonged to humanity at all!

This shouldn’t even belong to this monster!

Just as He Yinchuan was feeling stunned by the inhuman arm, the bear man uttered a heart-piercing shout toward the moonlight.

The sound was thunderous and loud.

At this time, there were no places around them that could cause an avalanche.

The shout caused the moon shadows on the mountain to become dim.

There was a strange, sticky and quiet darkness.

He Yinchuan didn’t have time to think about where this hand came from. The moment the shout emerged, he forcibly changed the direction of the blade. He jumped up and inserted the knife into the bear man’s mouth.

Zhou Ao even wrapped the bandages around his neck into his mouth, strangling the base of his tongue.

Even so, the bear man didn’t die, fall down or feel pain!

Lu Bifang finally came from the other side.

The three of them worked together but they couldn’t pull down the bear man who lost his vision.

Zhou Ao gritted his teeth and concentrated on doing his own thing.

Lu Bifang also saw the webbed fingers moving in the air. “What is that?”

He Yinchuan was upset and shouted loudly, “How should I know?!”

He turned around and shouted at Liang Shu, Lin Zhisong and Li Yinhang. “Run!”

He turned back again. “Xiao Lu, you also run!”

He and Zhou Ao were only barely able to tangle up with the bear man.

They wouldn’t be able to escape if the bear man called someone else.

Lin Zhisong’s eyes were fixed on the bear man’s strange legs and his voice trembled slightly. “It is as I thought!”

“What are you thinking?!” Liang Shu’s charming eyes narrowed and she licked Lin Zhisong’s ass. “Didn’t you hear what the captain said? Run!”

However, a skinny head poked out in a ghostly manner from a snow pile on one side.

Li Yinhang was familiar with this face.

It was the gecko man who climbed on the edge of the small concrete building and eavesdropped on them!

There was a big smile on his skinny face.

“Found—you—”

Liang Shu swore and removed her gloves. She pulled out two needle-shaped weapons from her item slot and strode to meet the strangely smiling man while shouting at Li Yinhang, “Run!”

Li Yinhang knew she was a weak chicken. She chose a direction and ran away!

The only thing she was confident about was her fitness.

She didn’t have any fighting skills at all.

Staying here was just adding chaos.

The hard snow hit her in the face, leaving her unable to open her eyes.

Therefore, when she found that the half-body woman was crawling on the rock five steps away from her, she had no time to change her direction.

The moment the eyes of a person and a monster met, the half-body woman jumped from the snow. She opened her smashed arms that were twisted like a frog and rushed straight at Li Yinhang!

Li Yinhang’s blood instantly froze from the cold.

She froze in place and stared at the black, tongueless mouth that was getting closer to her.

Suddenly, an arm emerged from beside her and threw a black object at the half-body woman.

The half-woman couldn’t use her arms freely so she naturally opened her mouth and caught the stone-like thing.

She consciously bit it.

Boom—

The woman was shocked by the huge impact and flew straight back. Most of her face immediately flew dozens of meters away.

At the moment of the explosion, Lin Zhisong had held down Li Yinhang’s head and rolled to the side with her.

...A grenade?

Li Yinhang was numb and she gasped with fear. “Didn’t you say...” the system didn’t allow them to bring in any weapons?

Lin Zhisong’s pale face was now a gray-black color.

He looked at her indifferently. “Can’t I make it myself?”

The tone was natural, as if asking her why she couldn’t do the homework of a primary school class.

Li Yinhang, “......”

Lin Zhisong wiped his face. “If we hadn’t run into that woman when I was afraid that the terrain wasn’t right and would cause problems, I would’ve already used it.”

Li Yinhang gave a low gasp. “Then how many do you have?”

Lin Zhisong answered concisely, “There are just two. It is in the test phase and the power is average.”

He looked behind Li Yinhang. “Don’t run either. If we scatter then you will die faster.”

Then he stuffed another black, round object into Li Yinhang’s hand. “Remember, pull this ring. The delay is short and the usage isn’t good. It is easy to blow yourself up.”

Li Yinhang was momentarily speechless as she looked at this man she had once been too lazy to care about.

Then she noticed that his gaze was shifting. Li Yinhang followed it and couldn’t help her heart tightening.

The woman whose face had been blown up had climbed out of the snow.

She only had half a skull left.

The hollow cavity of her head was attached to her neck, making her look more hideous and gruesome than a moment ago.

Lin Zhisong stood up, took out two stun batons in a lacquered casing. He flung his hands and the stun batons that were less than half a meter snapped out a further 30 centimeters.

He gritted his teeth. His voice trembled slightly but he tried to speak to Li Yinhang as firmly as possible. “Don’t move.”

At the same time, He Yinchuan was firmly controlling the bear man with Zhou Ao and couldn’t leave when he saw not far away, a figure with a huge hammer moving through the wind and snow. His heart sank completely.

The hammer man, the leader of the mountaineering team, smiled as he looked at the chaos here. He wasn’t nervous.

His empty eyes wandered around for a moment as he tried to pick a target worthy of eating.

The most important thing was to satisfy the desire of his appetite.

Food was the primary need.

Soon, his eyes fell on the lone Li Yinhang.

Li Yinhang cleverly held the grenade behind her.

She half truthfully and half falsely pretended to be paralyzed while her tail finger hooked tightly onto the ring of the grenade that Lin Zhisong had given her.

As the man carrying the hammer approached, the nervous Li Yinhang felt like she was experiencing an illusion.

She seemed to hear several other footsteps approaching her slowly.

She quickly bit the tip of her tongue and forced herself to stay awake with the pain.

Then she saw the hammer man suddenly stop eight or nine steps away from her.

His smiling eyes had lost their composure. They were now staring so wide that they almost popped out.

It was like... he saw something that was hard to understand.

Li Yinhang almost thought it was a deliberate attempt to tempt her to look at something. The moment she turned her head, he would lift the hammer and kill her.

It wasn’t until there were somewhat stagnant footsteps behind her that Li Yinhang woke up and turned carefully.

Zheng Xinghe was holding his head as he slowly stepped out of the snow shadows.

Following him was Nan Zhou holding his belt with the moonlight threads.

The moonlight threads extended from the light chains on Nan Zhou’s fingers.

There were also several rays of light that were dragging a long tail of light that extended into the unknown distance until it was submerged in the snowy horizon.

Jiang Fang was carrying Nan Zhou and approaching step by step.

He winked playfully at Li Yinhang who was about to burst into tears.

‘We came to pick up the child.’

He Yinchuan who wasn’t far away, “......”

What the h*ll was this?

Where did they pick up such a big monster?

***

After using it along the way, Nan Zhou’s light finger chains had achieved a small upgrade.

The speed at which items rose from level 0 to level 1 was often very fast.

The light condensed for longer periods of time or it could be pulled a lot longer when the light was constant.

However, it was still soft.

It wouldn’t work at all if an attack was needed.

Fortunately, Nan Zhou only needed it to play the role of a tool.

The sky might be dim right now but the large moon provided Nan Zhou with a constant light source.

The full moon that originally restricted him had become one of his tools.

Since the body parts needed contact with each other, Nan Zhou would provide the contact.

Based on the tools he currently had, Nan Zhou put forward an incredible idea to Zheng Xinghe.

“Choose the organs you want to bring with you that are useful.”

“The others will stay and look after this place.”

Zheng Xinghe listened to Nan Zhou’s plan and carefully selected his legs, hands, eyes, ears and mouth and so on, leaving behind all the organs in his body except the heart.

Nan Zhou left the organs tied with a strong boy and set off from the camp while holding a few rays of light.

This was equivalent to connecting the body parts by an infinite string.

They might be scattered but they still established a sense of each other.

They took Zheng Xinghe through the wind and snow, following the bear man’s roars and Lin Zhisong’s explosion so that Zheng Xinghe could get revenge.

The hammer man surnamed Lu was dumbfounded when Zheng Xinghe appeared. He screamed strangely and turned around to flee.

Zheng Xinghe sneered and threw his head out.

There was a bit of hatred and he bit the hammer man’s cheeks. He immediately bit off a piece of raw meat!

Originally, there was no pain when being attacked with a knife or axe but now Group Leader Lu seemed to have suffered a great deal of pain. He screamed miserably.

The scream frightened the other monsters.

They looked over here.

The gecko man had pressed Liang Shu into the snow and was being held by Lu Bifang, who had come to help. Before the gecko man could escape, he was grabbed around the throat by a pair of flying arms. They strangled him and frightened Lu Bifang into letting go.

Zheng Xinghe’s dismembered limbs were connected with countless rays of light. Under the guidance of Nan Zhou’s eyes, they attacked their own targets. They grabbed, scratched, kicked and punched to vent their hatred.

Only the head went straight to attacking the bear man.

Brother Li, the bear man was the one Zheng Xinghe personally saved.

He was also the first to sentence Zheng Xinghe to death.

How could Zheng Xinghe not hate him?

How?

The head, filled with infinite hatred, opened his mouth and bit the bear man’s shoulder muscles!

The bear man had lost his vision and now he felt pain. His eyes turned red!

He suddenly launched a fierce attack and unexpectedly broke Zhou Ao’s bandages with his bare hands. At the same time, he grabbed Zheng Xinghe’s head and violently pulled it off despite tearing off a large piece of his shoulder muscles!

Seeing that the situation wasn’t good, He Yinchuan immediately jumped off the bear man’s body and backed away.

The moment the bear man regained his vision, he saw He Yinchuan running away in front of him.

He roared and moved his leg forward.

Zhou Ao fell to the ground, his arms temporarily scrapped.

He couldn’t catch up at all and could only yell, “Yinchuan!”

Just then, a whirl of pale gold splashed down on the vast snow field under his feet.

The snowy mountain.

On the way up the mountain, Nan Zhou had kept looking up at the moon and looking down at the shadows.

He had found that the moon might be so big it occupied almost all the sky, but it was always rotating.

At first, when they went up the mountain, they walked with the moon at their backs.

Then when Nan Zhou parted ways with them, he saw his shadow curled up at his feet.

Later, the position of the moon moved forward.

Then the moon’s light faded.

It was the darkest hour before dawn.

Rotating meant that once the moon’s time was over, the sunrise would make itself known.

No one could appreciate the momentarily golden burst of light.

The bear man’s fist was about to break He Yinchuan’s head.

Suddenly, slightly frozen fingers grabbed the bear man’s shoulder from behind.

The bear man, who was as powerful as a cow, was caught by this hand and actually stopped in place. He could no longer move forward.

He twisted his neck stiffly.

The snow was dazzling and the sunlight was brilliant.

Nan Zhou stood on the snow underneath the sun and sighed softly. “It is dawn.”

Nan Zhou twisted gently. The bear man’s thick and muscular neck turned 180’s back and ended up facing Nan Zhou.

Nan Zhou faced his eyes that were bulging like a goldfish and greeted him politely. “Hello.”
