It was getting darker and darker, and Lu Nange and his gang couldn't even find a place to spend the night.

The road ahead kept shrinking, like the entrance to a deep tunnel, and it was pitch black.

Dead silence.

Even the sound of the wind disappeared outside the car window, leaving only the faint sound of tires rolling over gravel.

Lu Nange's mental power seeped outwards, and there were only endless twisted shadows of trees around him - there were no living things, no movement, and even the growls of mutant beasts could not be heard, as if they were the only ones left in the entire world.

"Stop the car." Lu Nange's cold voice suddenly came from the intercom in He Zhuo's hand: "We will stay in a car first."

Ji Xian slammed on the brakes, and the tires made a sound as they scraped against the asphalt road.

"Bang--"

The side door of the RV was opened.

Lu Nange stepped down.

Lu Beiye stood by the RV door like an obedient puppy, holding the macaw with messy feathers tightly in his arms.

The macaw huddled droopily in his arms.

Lu Kitano stared at his sister's figure without blinking.

It was not until he saw Lu Nange lightly tap his fingertips, retract the SUV into the space and turn around that he stepped onto the creaking metal steps and climbed back into the RV.

Several people squeezed into an RV.

Lu Xici took over the driving position and Chi Yi was in the passenger seat, while Chi Yanzhou was sitting in the passenger seat.

Everyone else was crowded into the room and living room.

The difference from that afternoon was that everyone was sitting down now, so the RV didn't seem so crowded.

He Zhuo glanced at the parrot in Lu Beiye's arms and raised his eyebrows and said, "Goudan hasn't woken up yet?"

Gu Wan sneered: "You deserve to be punished. When Gangzi wakes up, you won't be able to defeat him!"

"Who said that?" He Zhuo retorted stubbornly: "I was just giving in to it for Nan Nan's sake..."

Lu Xici noticed that Lu Nange frowned slightly, and asked in a low voice: "Nannan, what's wrong?"

Lu Nange raised his eyelids, a trace of alert flashed in his eyes: "There are only plants in the whole area, not even a mutant animal. In other words, I can't sense any living breath on this road except us."

He Zhuo leaned back in his chair and howled, "How come going back to Beijing is harder than going to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures!"

Chi Yanzhou's voice came from the cab: "Brother Ci, the road ahead seems to be blocked. Come over and throw a few fireballs to scout the way."

Lu Xici stood up and walked towards the co-pilot seat.

Chi Yi stepped on the brakes and the car paused slightly.

Chi Yanzhou turned over and gave up his position.

"Back up the car!"

Chi Yi drove the car back about ten meters.

Lu Xici rolled down the car window, and a dozen fireballs burst out from between his slender fingers.

The blazing flames cut through the darkness, illuminating the strange scene ahead—the branches that were entrenched in the middle of the road were slowly retreating to both sides like tentacles.

"Oh my god!" He Zhuo and Gu Wan rubbed their eyes at the same time.

"They...seem to be moving?"

Lu Nange: "Be more confident and remove the word 'as if'."

Under the light of the fire, the plants on both sides twisted and retreated wildly.

Countless branches and leaves flapped as they tried to put out the flames, making rustling sounds.

"Brother, let me do it!"

Lu Nange withdrew his psychic powers and quickly exchanged positions with Lu Xici.

She just waved her hand, a strong wind blew up, and the fire spread instantly into two walls of fire, forcibly splitting a passage through the bushes.

"Brother Chi, rush over!"

The engine roared and the RV whizzed through the wall of fire.

Looking in the rearview mirror, the burning trees extinguished their flames at an uncanny speed, and their twisted branches danced wildly in the air.

The moment the RV rushed out of the wall of fire, the road ahead miraculously returned to a two-lane state, as if the terrifying moment just now had never happened.
