The soles of Taunai's feet were itchy, and more vines were burrowing out of the soles of her feet.

She couldn't speak, her throat seemed to be stuck with something, and a choked feeling kept lingering in her throat, unable to go up or down, very suffocating.

[Ding - Detected that the player is suffering from mental pollution, spirit value -3]

"Hmm——!" Taunai moved his throat and finally opened his mouth that looked like it was sticking, only to spit out a rhizome.

The rhizome was like a tentacle the size of chopsticks, coming out of Taunai's throat, and thin tentacles extended from it, sticking to her mouth, unable to swallow or spit out.

Taunai looked at the statues around him with difficulty, and suddenly felt that he was similar to them.

Not only her, but other players have seen the same situation as her.

They are being assimilated by these statues.

Taunai couldn't move, but the statues were getting closer to them.

Struggling to break free from the dirt, the statues reached out and touched the vines beneath their feet before breaking away from the wall.

The moment the statue fell off, it turned into a soft cloud of mud, and a vague human figure emerged from it, and after standing in front of Taunai, a face very similar to her was revealed.

But then, the statue's face was gradually entwined with more rhizomes, and its facial features seemed to be disrupted and turned into a mess on the face.

However, this did not prevent the statue from moving further towards Taunnai, and it was almost completely attached to Taunai's face.

As the statue's eyes flickered, Taunai's left eye immediately plunged into darkness.

She blinked, but her left eye lost all sensation.

In contrast, the statue's left eye moved to where it should be, and it blinked, reflecting Taunnay's current appearance in a clear eye.

Taunai's left eye turned into wood.

The rest of her face was still flesh, but her left eyeball, with its eyelids, had turned to wood, and no matter how she moved, that eye was hollow and could not move with her thoughts.

Taunai wanted to scream, about to be taken away by the sculpture, and a sense of fear arose in his body.

She wanted to ask for help, so she reached out to pull Ji Xiaoyue in front of her.

She was finally able to move, but the moment she touched Ji Xiaoyue, she forcibly dragged Ji Xiaoyue's left arm down.

The crunch sound of wood breaking is not what a normal person should make.

The junction between Ji Xiaoyue's shoulder and arm was broken, and the irregular wood sawtooth completely stunned Tao Nai.

And at this time, the statue standing in front of Ji Xiaoyue suddenly looked at Tao Nai.

The statue is a mixture of dirt and rhizomes, and some dirt and rhizomes fall from its body during the movement.

However, its left hand has taken on a human appearance, with snow-white skin and a small red mole on its slender wrist.

It was the little red mole on Sister Xiaoyue's hand, and this statue with the same body shape as Sister Xiaoyue was slowly taking away Sister Xiaoyue's body.

No, it's not just the statue in front of Sister Xiaoyue.

The statues in front of them are also trying to take their bodies.

That's how her eyes were taken away, and in the long run, their body parts would be completely taken away by the statue.

At that point, they will be the new sculptures, and the statues that have appeared so far will most likely become the new 'Seventh Squad', leaving the cellar with the shopkeeper.

A biting chill spread through all the limbs, and Taunai had never been so frightened.

The sculpture in front of her blinked her left eye, and the palm of her left hand immediately lost sensation.

Raising his arm and seeing his palm, which had turned into wood, Taunai took a step back, two of the rhizomes growing under his feet.

These rhizomes grew from her feet, and they were not just rhizomes, they were more like nerves connected to her senses.

As soon as she tried to struggle, these rhizomes would break, creating a certain warning of pain for her.

At the same time, it will also pollute her mental value.

[Ding - Detected that the player is suffering from mental pollution, spirit value -3]

A sharp pain came from the depths of her mind, and Taunai tried to retreat, but the statue in front of her suddenly opened her arms and hugged her.

The damp smell of the dirt enveloped her, and Taunai struggled for a moment, accidentally touching off the layer of dirt that had enveloped the statue's face.

A wooden doll appeared under the dirt, and the surface of its skin was already showing signs of decay due to the accumulation of time.

And at a glance at Taunai, strong pollution struck again.

[Ding - Detected that the player is suffering from mental pollution, spirit value -3]

With a buzzing in his head, Taunai couldn't think of a way to shake off the sculptural figure.

If the other party wants to replace them, then they need a medium to take their bodies.

But how, exactly?

Tao Nai was thinking about it, and suddenly raised his eyes, just in time to meet the line of sight of the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper's eyes narrowed strangely, and his eyes were dull, as if there were two wooden beads inlaid in his eye sockets.

The wooden eyeballs swirled in them, and the dry friction between them and the sockets made a creaking sound.

[Ding - Detected that the player is suffering from mental pollution, spiritual value -5]

Tao Nai's mind roared, and her teeth crushed the rhizome sticking out of her mouth: "The source of pollution is the shopkeeper, find a way to stop him, otherwise we will all become puppets!" ”

The smile on the shopkeeper's face disappeared, he shook the oil lamp in his hand, and then looked at everyone again.

[Ding - Detected that the player is suffering from mental pollution, spiritual value -5]

This time the puppet robbed her of an ear, and Taunai tried to move her stiff palm, which she could only hold the scalpel if she could move.

But her veins seemed to turn into rhizomes, which caused her body to be completely stiff and unable to move.

If this continues, she can't stop the shopkeeper's sight from polluting them.

A strong sense of helplessness came to mind, and Tao Nai couldn't think of anything for a while.

[Ding - Detected that the player is suffering from mental pollution, spiritual value -5]

"Damn, we're all going to be done if we go on like this...... What's going on with these rhizomes? Why are you so pestering?! Jie Yu freed up a hand and randomly pulled off all three rhizomes that came out of his mouth.

"No way!" Taunai tried to stop Jieyu's frantic movements, but she was still a step too late.

Jieyu grabbed the two-meter-long rhizomes from his mouth, and he almost vomited, and finally bit off the rhizomes with his teeth.

Blood spurted out of his mouth, and he screamed in pain.

"Idiot, these rhizomes have become part of our body, and if you destroy them by brute force, you are harming your body!" When Luo Mianmian said this, she was suddenly stunned: "Wait a minute, these rhizomes are growing from our bodies!" ”
