Lola's bare feet were unsteady, stumbling and falling, her exposed calves covered in scars, and having not eaten for two days, she felt completely drained of strength.
Now she was relying entirely on willpower to keep going.
In the past, she could have effortlessly leaped onto a tree over ten meters high.
Each time she fell, she would recall the kind smiles of her father and Mama, and remember Grandma Misong giving her the fruit she had found.
Though the fruit was unpalatable, it gave her a temporary burst of energy.
And the moment she ate that fruit, a name appeared in her mind—the Undead Fruit.
"Wuwu—"
Tears blurred Lola's vision, the dual torment of body and mind pushing her to the brink of collapse: "Papa, Mama, I miss you so much."
"Grandma Misong… I'm sorry, I implicated you… A life like mine, it would be better to die!"
Tears streamed down her face.
"Found her! The brat is here!!"
Suddenly, shouts came from not far away, followed by increasingly dense footsteps rushing towards them.
Lola was startled, running and crying, a whooshing sound came from behind, and a pebble hit her shoulder heavily, causing her to lose balance and fall forward.
She tumbled into a mud pit, getting covered in mud.
"Don't kill her! If we can't sell her, everyone in the village will starve!" someone shouted, as more and more footsteps and figures surrounded them from all directions.
Lola lifted her head, mud and water streaming down her face through her hair; apart from the yellow and black fur on her ears, her appearance was no different from a human's.
She was a descendant of a human and Mink Tribe hybrid.
"It's a hybrid!"
A sharp-eyed villager exclaimed in delight: "We're rich now! If there's a buyer with a special fetish, she'll definitely sell for several times the price!"
"Please… let me go."
Lola sobbed, her face covered in mud, her eyes filled with terror.
Bang!!
A wooden club struck Lola hard on the back of her head, and Lola immediately fainted.
"Clean her up thoroughly and send her to Baloses Island tonight," the leader said with a sinister smile.
The villagers went to make arrangements, giving Lola a quick rinse with clean water to wash off all the mud.
After the mud was washed away, Lola's tender face appeared quite delicate.
Lola woke up, and at that moment, the villagers were tying her hands with ropes.
"Where are you taking me?"
Lola asked in a panic, her eyes filled with fear.
"Where? To Baloses Island, of course!
As long as the price is right, a hybrid like you might sell for enough to get us through this crisis.
Sacrifice one of you to save over three hundred people in the village. Brat, don't blame us for being cruel, blame your appearance here at such an opportune time."
"What about Grandma Misong? What did you do to her?"
Lola remembered Grandma Misong arguing with the villagers to cover her escape.
"It seems you still don't know?"
The man showed a cruel smile: "That old hag dared to defy the will of the entire village. Since she wanted to die, of course, we granted her wish."
Lola's heart trembled, and she widened her eyes: "How could you…!?"
Her eyes welled up with tears, which streamed down her face.
Mama is dead.
Papa is dead.
Now even Grandma Misong is dead.
Everyone who was kind to her had met a tragic end… Why couldn't they live a peaceful and quiet life like ordinary people!?
Why were some people born to be slaves?!
At this moment, Lola's heart was filled with confusion, shame, guilt… all emotions finally fixated on the man in front of her, who was laughing wantonly, and the flames of revenge ignited in her eyes!!
Die, die!
All of you die!
"Ah ah ah!"
With strength from an unknown source, Lola roared in anger, looking up at the full moon high in the sky, and faint electrical arcs appeared on her body.
The genes hidden within her body seemed to have established some connection with the moon, her cellular functions became highly activated, and blood flowed rapidly through her veins.
At this moment, Lola's heart thumped violently like a water pump, frantically pumping energy to all her limbs and bones!!
Her eyeballs instantly turned blood-red, her fangs visibly grew, her dark hair was bleached white in an instant, and continued to grow wildly backward!
Lola's body also rapidly grew taller, gradually becoming adult-like.
The electrical arcs surrounding her body crackled and sparked like electric snakes!
With a snap, the ropes binding Lola were forcefully broken by her. Lola directly grabbed the man's face with one hand and slammed him to the ground with a thud, scattering sand.
The commotion here immediately attracted the other villagers.
Lola lowered her body, hands on the ground, and with a whoosh, her body shot out, running like a leopard.
Her movements were incredibly swift, dodging and weaving through the crowd at an astonishing speed; only a faint white blur could be seen rapidly leaping among the people.
People were stunned, how did the brat they were about to sell suddenly turn into a white-haired monster?!
Some had their necks violently twisted, blood oozing from their eyes, nose, and mouth.
Some had their chests and bellies pierced, bleeding profusely.
Others were completely charred, lying on the ground, twitching violently.
Watching people constantly falling around them, dying tragically, the remaining people trembled, their legs shaking.
Lola stopped her slaughter only when there were just over twenty people left standing.
The white-haired Lola landed not far from them, staring at them with her eerie, blood-red eyes.
Her hands were covered in blood, and a few drops of blood splattered on her cheeks. Her silver hair cascaded to her waist, and her entire body exuded a chilling, violent aura.
People were terrified, their scalps tingling. They wanted to escape but found their legs felt like they were tied with lead balls, unable to move a single step.
They didn't know if they were hallucinating from fear or going insane.
In their vision, as Lola slowly walked towards them, the full moon behind her seemed to be stained crimson with blood!
"Run! Run away!!"
Someone finally screamed.
But how could the berserk Lola allow these perpetrators to escape now?!
Lola lunged into the crowd, rapidly darting and bouncing back and forth in a single breath, unleashing the killing move she learned in the arena—Chaotic Blades!!
It was as if the world lost its color at this moment, leaving only black and white.
Several black lines intersected and pierced through the crowd, blood spraying into the sky.
But Lola did not stop; an animal's alertness made her feel an unprecedented danger.
She instinctively leaped several meters away, her palms on the ground, baring her teeth at the man who suddenly appeared.
She let out a hissing sound.
"Sulong?"
Kaido looked at the little one in front of him, a flicker of realization in his eyes: "It seems she's gone berserk."
Kaido crooked his finger: "Little one, let me see your strength."
Provoked, Lola bared her teeth in anger. Driven only by hatred, she immediately attacked Kaido!
It was Chaotic Blades again!
But no matter from what angle Lola attacked, her sharp finger-blades could not penetrate Kaido's adamantine body.
She even broke off several of her finger-blades!
Blood streamed down her fingertips, but Lola seemed to feel no pain at all, continuing her numb and frenzied attacks.
"A monotonous and boring trick!"
Kaido lost his patience, flicking his thumb and middle finger. With a thud, he struck Lola right between her eyebrows.
A flick to the forehead sent Lola flying tens of meters away, leaving a trail of dust.
