The enormous foot landed firmly on them.

Xiao Cheng heard the cracking sound of bones and flesh being crushed together, blood and flesh splattering everywhere, but not even outside the range of the giant's foot.

He walked towards the candy house without stopping, as if he had only stepped on a few ants, grabbed the roof with one hand, lifted it up forcefully, and stuffed it into his mouth.

The sweetness pleased his senses, and he squinted his eyes to savor it carefully.

Xiao Cheng felt a pang of sympathy; she still had the three gold coins that Xiao Pang had given her, which at this moment were practically three death knells.

"What are you standing there for? Let's go!" Fang He urged, tossing his hunting rifle to the ground. "Let's go around into the forest!"

"Why did you throw your gun?!" Xiao Cheng followed him and ran forward without looking up. The giant behind them had obviously spotted them, but the candy house hadn't finished eating yet, so it didn't plan to take any action for the time being.

“We’re out of bullets,” Fang He explained, “and they’re completely ineffective against humanoid creatures.”

Xiao Cheng: "..." So all that was based on pure belief before?!

Fortunately, they were lucky. The giant was either full or simply didn't care about them. He pretended to chase after them for a couple of steps before turning around and climbing back onto the vines.

The two ran swiftly into the forest, as if they had instantly entered another world. The sky suddenly turned incredibly gloomy, and strange, twisted branches covered the area overhead, almost shrouding it in darkness.

Fang He stopped in front of a huge rock, brushed off the moss, and made a simple mark.

“Let’s start here.” He handed one of the cookies to Xiao Cheng. “We’ll use cookies to guide the way.”
