What Ji Dong and the players from the [Peach Blossom Spring] most wanted to know was where the Skeleton Monster’s weaknesses were and how to kill them effectively.
Rose was a straightforward person who did not bother to beat around the bush, so she asked her question straight away.
“How should those monsters be dealt with?”
“First of all, their most fatal weakness is the brain encased in the cranial cavity.”
The survivors didn’t sell them short, and immediately a soldier answered Rose’s question.
“No matter what method you utilize, as long as you can destroy the monster’s brain, you can kill them.”
Ji Dong and the rest all nodded.
They had just learnt this reaction in the clinic only a few minutes ago, and now hearing it again, there was no new reaction.
However, they did not interrupt the soldier’s narration but continued to listen carefully.
“Also, they are afraid of UV light.”
The surviving soldier continued.
“UV light can burn the monster’s only remaining soft tissues, especially the brain in their skull, which is particularly sensitive to UV light. If your UV light is close enough, or strong enough, it can immediately burn them to death. And because they are afraid of UV light, they do not move in the sun during the day. This is exactly the same as the legendary vampire.”
He paused, his gaze moved to the UV light inserted in the waist of Ji Dong and others, and said with a bitter smile, “However, since several of you have brought UV light, you must have known about this for a long time, right?”
Ji Dong and the others nodded, indicating that they did know.
“Wait.”
At this time, the beautiful lady named Annie with long chestnut curly hair suddenly opened her mouth and interrupted the soldier’s statement, “I heard from my lover… No, the director of the institute said that the animals fused by ‘Judas Tears’ are afraid of ultraviolet rays, so I know they have this weakness.”
“Moreover, the UV lights in the clinic have been removed and reinstalled by us, and they are now all here,” she said, pointing to the UV lamp she had set aside.
Anne raised her eyes and looked straight at Ji Dong and others, “How do you know you should use UV light to deal with those monsters outside?”
Ji Dong,”……”
——Crap, what a tricky question!
For the first time, he felt the horror of having read the spoilers in advance, but it was too prophetic to explain itself.
His mind was spinning, thinking of how to fix this problem, while cursing that the [Peach Blossom Spring] was too fucked up. Why couldn’t there be one more rule that the locals in the [Film] wouldn’t question some of their superficial behavior!
When Ji Dong was torn between how to answer and fearing that being silent for too long would make him look more suspicious, Ren Jianmo, who was sitting next to him, gave him a sideways glance.
The big beauty saw that Ji Xiao’niao’s expression was calm and not easy to read, but his ears, which were hidden behind the wool rolls, had quietly turned red.
——You little liar.
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
The corners of Ren Jianmo’s lips lifted slightly, revealing a smile that others could not detect.
——The child’s mental quality is good, but his knowledge reserve is a little poor, and he is prone to showing timidity at times.

“It just so happens to be found effective against those monsters.”
Ren Jianmo’s appearance was amazing. Annie considered herself to be a beautiful woman with accentuated features. She had to acknowledge, though, that she was thoroughly defeated in front of this long-haired man.
The most impressive thing about this man was that he carried an aura that couldn’t be expressed in words.
Annie only glanced at Ren Jianmo silently, she couldn’t help but look away, not daring to look at him again.
“….Hmm, I see.”
She answered vaguely, not knowing whether she believed it or not; in any case, it was considered to have uncovered this issue.
“All right.”
Rose, as a participant, naturally knew the real origin of the UV light in the hands of Ji Dong and others.
She was impatient to hear Annie digress and waste time on irrelevant details, so she simply took the initiative to bring the topic back on track.
She looked up at the soldier.
“Besides their brains and fear of UV light, do those monsters have any other weaknesses?”
“No.”
The soldier shook his head regretfully. “At the very least, we haven’t found anything else that can deal with them.”
——Fuck, it’s too deceptive!
Ji Dong and the others had the same thought.
They didn’t learn anything new after listening to this for a long time, and they had no idea how to deal with the town’s roaming monsters!
So all they could do was sit and wait for death, just like the surviving townspeople and soldiers did!
Fatty Huang couldn’t help it. He looked down at his watch and found that the pointer on the progress bar almost didn’t move.
This meant that they still hadn’t figured out how to get through the [Film]—obviously, hiding in the cellar beneath the church to pass this [Film] wasn’t going to cut it.
“Besides, I think you all know.” The soldier continued, “As long as you are bitten by those monsters, you will be infected with ‘Judas tears’ and soon become their kind, and this change cannot be stopped or reversed.”
Ji Dong and others have already known this.
Rose thought that after Xiong Er was bitten, Linglong’s healing ability could cure his wound and reverse his change. Instead, she lost Xiong Da by making him carry Xiong Er. She felt so stuffy and short of breath that she just wanted to beat people.
So she clenched her fist and pounded it on the ground with one hand.
“No, no, no, Miss, you don’t have to be so disappointed.”
Seeing Rose react so strongly, the other soldier laughed, surprisingly with a rather cheerful laugh.
“Although we don’t know what other weaknesses they have, we have figured out how they attack.”
As soon as he said this, the eyes of Ji Dong and the others lit up.
“Ridiculous!”
Mo Tiangen didn’t hold it in and burst out a dialect, impatiently pursuing the question.
“What is it! What is it?!”
The soldier replied.
“They can’t see anything, so they use their sense of hearing and smell to determine the location of their prey.”
Mo Tiangen thought he heard wrong and couldn’t help repeating.
“Hearing…… and smell?!”
The townspeople and soldiers present, even the priest, nodded together.
Mo Tiangen: “!!!”
He scratched his head with both hands, and his expression was very broken.
As a high school teacher majoring in biology, he felt like he was going crazy.
Teacher Dagen just didn’t understand; outside those monsters were left with a body of bones, a few pieces of cotton-like soft tissue, and a brain, so where in the fuck were the hearing and smell organs?
——The hell! If the eyes couldn’t see because they were all rotten bones, how could they still hear and smell!
——Where is the scientific basis?!
——No, no, wait, wait!
Teacher Dagen tried his best to free himself from the fallacies and riddles in his mind.
——What the hell am I obsessing about!
He pinched the corner of his forehead.
The [Peach Blossom Spring] itself was a mysterious space beyond all their knowledge and perceptions, and the resulting [Films] of all shapes and sizes couldn’t be judged by common sense.
Whether it was science or the occult, it was just a “plot” propeller.
Since he had seen with his own eyes that human beings have become a monster with only bones in their body, and a pair of dead bones could run, jump and bite, then why insist on why the monster couldn’t see but could smell and hear?
“As long as you hold your breath and don’t make a sound, those monsters won’t notice your existence.”
At this time, the soldier who had just laughed patted himself on the chest. “The personal test is effective. That’s how I survived.”
“You mean, just don’t breathe in front of them?”
Teacher Dagen, a biology professional who had only just psychologically built himself up, couldn’t help but use his usual mind to analyze the matter again.
“Then maybe they don’t possess a sense of smell, but are sensitive to the carbon dioxide exhaled by humans….”
“Maybe.”
The soldier smiled, “The researchers are all dead, and the rest of us here don’t know much about that.”
His eyes swept one by one over Ji Dong, Ren Jianmo, and Fatty Huang, three researchers in white corset work clothes. “We still look forward to several professionals to answer these questions for us.”
Ji Dong laughed nervously in his heart.
He recalled that he was a master who could blow up beakers even in high school chemistry class, and felt that it was basically a fantasy to expect them to figure out what this group of “pseudo-researchers” could really figure out.
——But…
Thinking of this, Ji Dong couldn’t help looking at the long-haired beauty beside him.
——However, if it was Ren Jianmo, maybe he could notice something.
“There is one more thing, I don’t know if you guys have noticed.”
At this point, the priest who had not spoken for a long time suddenly spoke.
“You guys… no, not only you guys, all the living people in this town, are unable to leave the area covered by the translucent film.”
Hearing this news, the participants all widened their eyes together.
“In fact, before this, we had several attempts to break through the area covered by the translucent film and leave this town of death, which is full of monsters.”
The old priest’s face was sad, his voice old and hoarse.
“But no matter how hard we tried, we were bound to get lost in the mountains and forests, and when it was close to dark, we had no choice but to return to the town.”
When Fatty Huang heard that he could not get out, he could not help but start to panic a little. “Why, why?”
“Because that light film is a particle force field.”
It was Annie who answered the fat man.
She grabbed her long chestnut curls. “When I was in the Research Institute, I heard familiar researchers say that when ‘Judas Tears’ grow to a certain period, it will produce a thin-film particle force field, which can make some small animals lose their sense of direction. They say this is the way ‘Judas Tears’ can prevent prey from escaping.”
Anne said impatiently, “I don’t exactly know what’s going on. Anyway, you can understand that we are like a group of flies locked in a glass jar. There are many chameleons in it. We are their reserve food and will be eaten sooner or later.”
——I knew that the [Peach Blossom Spring] would not let us pass the instance easily!
Ji Dong said in his heart.
He had already guessed the predicament that the survivors in the cellar, and the participants, had to face now.
Because there was that layer of light membrane surrounded, the people in the town couldn’t get out. Even if more people come in, they would be trapped here.
In a small town occupied by Skeleton Monsters where people couldn’t get in touch with the outside world and could be infected by a monster bite, the living people had limited access to food and water and were vulnerable to attacks at any time.
If this goes on, it wouldn’t be long before all the people trapped in the cellar would die of hunger or thirst, or all would be killed by monsters.
Either way, it was a dead end.
Unless they had a way to pass through the translucent film.
Thank you for the chapter!
ahh’ my mind is also spinning (＠_＠) what/where is the way out of there ?
Thank you for the chapter ! 😘
No breadcrumbs left for Hansel and Gretel! I think they have to counter the judas stone with the moon stone to block it’s influence.
And these monsters are not too intelligent, otherwise wouldn’t they’d try to protect their brains at the very least? If they could find a way to cover their brains wouldn’t they be able to come out during the day too? 😱 Even a piece of cloth can block uv light but they’re just running around naked. 💀 ……
They’re monsters 😂
