Cheng Shuang didn't know whether she could break the deadlock, but there was one thing she was absolutely certain of.

The places Cheng Shuang jumped to were all flattened by the relentless pursuit of the "Golden Barbie" (a nickname for Cheng Shuang), resulting in a completely open and flat landscape before her eyes after one lap.

Without the dead trees blocking the way, even the fog had dissipated considerably, and the path beneath one's feet was paved with dead trees, so one had to proceed with caution and be careful not to trip.

In reality, the entire deadwood forest is not very large, at least not as large as they imagined. The visual illusion created by the scattered deadwood can give people the illusion that they are trapped in a maze and can never get out.

Now it seems that this area is only the size of the Ferris wheel if it were to be laid down.

So they ran around but never managed to reach the cave.

Si Hai sighed softly, which made the little girl in his arms look up at him sensibly and gently comfort him, "It's okay, the withered tree will grow up."

"Isn't it the same principle as you growing up too?" Sihai concealed her thoughts, lowered her head slightly, and her beautiful and refined face was full of gentleness.

The little girl smiled silently, then swallowed the last little rabbit struggling between her fingers in one gulp. When she opened her mouth, it was full of sharp shark teeth, completely devoid of any softness or cuteness; it was a weapon in human skin.

Si Hai waved his magic prop—a top hat—and before he could even make a move, the little girl expertly pulled out one little rabbit after another from the hat. She first examined each one to see how it differed from the ones she had eaten, and only after she had played with them enough would she continue to devour them.

Their innocent and naive appearance seemed no different from that of ordinary children.

Sihai slung his top hat behind his back, along with his slightly trembling hand. Although his skills had no cooldown, they were extremely demanding on mental strength. Each successful magic trick would consume a certain amount of mental strength, and of course, the consumption would double for a failed magic trick.

It takes ten failed magic tricks to accumulate one successful one. If all the accumulated successful magic tricks are spent on this little girl, tsk, that's such a waste.

Si Hai pondered for a moment. It wasn't that he couldn't take action, but he had to consider the situation of the other four. It seemed that Xiao Qi was completely passive, Gong Zhu was not to be relied on at all, and Da Bai was being led by the nose. Only Cheng Shuang seemed to be in a dilemma, but he trusted the girl's brain. At least in critical moments, Gong Zhu was definitely not as reliable as the girl.

Sure enough, just as the panting Barbie angrily uprooted the last dead tree she could find shelter in, Cheng Shuang, having nowhere else to hide, leaped up and landed directly on Barbie's head. With a loud shout, she stomped her small foot hard on Barbie's head.

The "Golden Barbie" screamed in pain as the kick ripped open her scalp, causing countless strands of red hair to scatter and fall as blood gushed out.

The love of beauty is innate. Whether human or homeless, once people pay attention to their appearance, they are bound to care about their own looks. For anyone who loves beauty or is homeless, baldness is an extremely devastating and cruel thing.

Bear Cub: I feel like I've been subtly insulted...

Si Hai's eyes widened slightly. When did Shuangshuang acquire such superhuman strength? His gaze fell on the brown bear toy sitting on Cheng Shuang's shoulders, and he immediately realized what was happening. Then, he keenly noticed that the little girl in his arms was stiff, her chubby hands gripping the little white rabbit's neck, and she had actually strangled the rabbit to death with a snap.

Sensing something was wrong, he decided to strike first, summoning a magic box and casually tossing the little girl inside. He then drew his twin swords and swiftly unleashed a devastating attack that pierced the heart with a thousand swords.

However, things were more serious than he had imagined.

The box was empty. At the same time, the little girl who had been tightly locking onto the other three people disappeared before their very eyes.

The group looked up in surprise and saw four little girls with identical features and clothes to the "Golden Barbie" gathered around her. They were looking up at Cheng Shuang above the "Golden Barbie" in unison, their purple eyes like abysses, filled with anger.

They're about to unleash a powerful attack!

Everyone held their breath, on high alert, ready to break through the siege and launch a counterattack at any moment.

Cheng Shuang, on the other hand, looked completely relaxed. She imitated the exaggerated clucking of a little hen, "Fivepuppies?" Then, she stretched out her arms, "Little darlings, come out!"

Not only were the five little girls stunned, but Sihai and the others were also astonished and opened their mouths wide.

A dark mass of tiny, long-legged, withered tree branches, each with beady eyes and round mouths, glared angrily at five little girls, especially the one in the middle, nicknamed "Girl Barbie."

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the dark, swarming tree branch figures, cursing and swearing, raised boxes of matches in unison. With a whoosh, as the matches ignited, the little figures swiftly surrounded the five little girls with their 'torches.' In no time, they set themselves on fire and also set their sworn enemies on fire.

Flames erupted from her feet, and the girl, no longer caring about Cheng Shuang, leaped away from the attack of the tree-branch figures and escaped the encirclement. Da Bai and Gong Zhu reached out and scooped her into their arms.

In a panic, Barbie used her large hands to slap down a few tiny figures, but it was a drop in the ocean compared to the number of figures. As the flames grew larger, she became increasingly powerless and began to shrink little by little to the height of a normal little girl.

This little Barbie, who hadn't been able to eat a single bite and had run countless laps carrying a heavy load, no longer had enough anger to sustain her continued resistance.

In the end, even when the five girls merged into one, they still couldn't stop the tree branch's fiery onslaught. The little tree branch people concentrated their strength and clung to her tightly, risking their lives to perish together with the little girl.

In the sea of ​​fire, the little girl's twisted and ferocious face stared intently at Cheng Shuang. After she held her face up and let out a roar that sounded like both pain and anger, she disappeared from everyone's sight, engulfed in flames.

The only trace left by the little tree-branch people was the charcoal ash scattered on the ground.

Cheng Shuang jumped down from Da Bai's arms, walked over, squatted down, collected the charcoal ash, put it into a pretty little glass bottle, and gently said thank you to the little people.

She hadn't expected to successfully activate the doll's skill. These little tree branch figures were temporarily collected from the dead trees she had jumped over. After temporarily waking the figures, they couldn't have the long-lasting vitality of a bear cub. They were more like disposable life forms, and their minds were filled with the anger of having their original bodies ripped off.

In his mind, he conveyed the same single emotion to Cheng Shuang: revenge! Revenge for himself, revenge for his master!

I am one of those withered trees, and the master is the little girl.

As for who the enemy is, it goes without saying.

Cheng Shuangjue never expected that a tree branch she casually broke off would lead to a new way to play with dolls. She was completely baffled, so when her companions surrounded her with curiosity, the little girl gave a knowing smile, revealing a profound and unspeakable Zen-like wisdom.

The group of people, including Da Bai, naturally didn't pry into the details. The main thing was that the little girl was gone, but they were still trapped in this desolate world.
