"Manager Cheng, if I'm not mistaken, your ability isn't exactly physical strength, is it?"
Cheng Xinyuan was truly shocked by Fang Xiu's perception. Was this really perception? Or was it omniscience?
He nodded somewhat numbly: "That's right, my ability is not power. Power is just something that comes with my true ability."
As he spoke, he took off his shirt, revealing his full-body tattoos.
He has a tiger descending a mountain tattooed on his chest and a dragon over his shoulder tattooed on his back.
The dragon and tiger were incredibly lifelike, as if they were alive.
"My ability is to control the dragon and tiger on my body; the power is just a byproduct of them."
Roar!!
Suddenly, countless inhuman roars echoed from the thick fog deep in the street, interrupting everyone's conversation.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and immediately felt a chill run down their spines.
Suddenly, hundreds of "people" emerged from the thick fog.
To be precise, those people could no longer be called human beings, but rather demonic slaves.
Each one had a blue face and fangs, a ferocious appearance, and their fingernails grew out to become sharp claws.
They charged at the group's vehicles on all fours, roaring like wild beasts.
They were all transformed from the dead citizens of Green Vine City.
"Fang Xiu, what do we do now?"
The walkie-talkie inside the car crackled to life; it was the spirit masters from other cars asking questions.
"Charge forward." A strange blood-red light flashed in Fang Xiu's right eye as he calmly replied.
Rumble!
Faced with a group of demonic slaves, the spirit masters drove their cars and floored the accelerator, rushing forward.
"Shen Lingxue, Cheng Xinyuan, make your move!" Fang Xiu commanded.
Without the slightest hesitation, the two immediately took action.
Shen Lingxue released scorching and bright flames, and fireballs pierced through the thick fog, hurtling towards the ghost slave.
Those fireballs were like hand grenades, blasting the group of demon slaves to smithereens.
Cheng Xinyuan also exerted his strength suddenly, and his originally thin body swelled up instantly, with muscles bulging.
As his muscles bulged, the tiger descending the mountain and the dragon crossing the river on his body seemed to come alive and flew directly out of his body.
Transforming into a black dragon and a white tiger, it roared and charged towards the demonic slave, smashing through the path like a tank.
The spirit masters of the other vehicles also stepped in, continuously clearing the way.
Under the attack of the group of spirit masters, these hundreds of ghost slaves were unable to stop the vehicle from moving forward.
Just moments later, Fang Xiu and the others broke through the encirclement.
Aside from minor damage to the vehicle, there were no injuries.
The initial victory greatly boosted the confidence of the spirit masters, with some even feeling that the nightmare was nothing special.
At that moment, Fang Xiu's command suddenly rang out from inside all the vehicles.
"parking."
Sizzle!
Although everyone was puzzled, they all stopped their cars.
Soon, Fang Xiu got out of the car.
The other spirit masters also got off the vehicle, some of them confused, not knowing what Fang Xiu was going to do.
After everyone got off the bus, Fang Xiu's words caused an uproar among the crowd.
"Human head lanterns will appear ahead soon. Their eyes will emit red light. Once you are exposed to the red light, your head will be severed immediately. If you don't want to die, stick close to me."
Remember, do not attack the head lanterns. Attacking one will break their killing pattern, and they will swarm towards you.
Upon hearing this, the crowd erupted in an uproar.
Some even questioned, "No, you sensed that too? It's one thing to sense the impending strange occurrence, but to sense the pattern of the killings?"
Are you sure this is truly perception, and not precognition?
"If there really is that lantern with human heads ahead, why don't we take a detour?"
"It's no use. There are human head lanterns everywhere. The only way out now is to go through them. Believe it or not," Fang Xiu said calmly.
There's no need to ask him how he sensed it; the answer is that he died several times.
He then ignored the chaotic crowd and walked straight ahead.
In fact, Fang Xiu had considered acting alone to avoid being dragged down, but after careful consideration, he decided to act as a group.
Because the current Nightmare is not the same Nightmare it once was; it has taken control of the entire Green Vine City, and many strange things are raging within it. Under such circumstances, it will be very difficult to pass the level by oneself alone.
Just like playing a game, even if you can reload and start over infinitely, you still need to use items in the game to defeat the BOSS. And these Spirit Masters are the items that Fang Xiu prepared for himself.
The simplest example is that if they encounter an attack they can't avoid, they can at least be used to bleed others and light the bronze candlesticks.
Following Fang Xiu's actions, Zhao Hao followed closely behind, unconditionally believing Fang Xiu's words.
If it weren't for Fang Xiu, he would have died long ago at Qingshan Mental Hospital.
Knowing the inside story, Shen Lingxue followed Fang Xiu without saying a word.
Then there's Fatty, Cheng Xinyuan.
Cheng Xinyuan believed that Fang Xiu did not know that the other party could predict the future; he simply knew that the other party was no ordinary person because of their multiple interactions.
People have a herd mentality; when they see others following, others hesitate for a moment and then choose to believe as well.
After all, even the director of the Investigation Bureau and Yang Ming, a third-level spirit master, trust Fang Xiu so much. Unless they are idiots, they would choose to jump out and question him at this time.
Soon, everyone followed.
After walking about a hundred meters, the group suddenly discovered that lanterns had been lit up in the thick fog ahead.
The lanterns emitted an eerie red glow, floating in the sky and drifting in the wind like clouds.
Combined with Fang Xiu's previous words, everyone's hearts tightened immediately.
Fang Xiu continued walking forward without stopping, and as they got closer, they finally saw what the lantern was.
Those were human heads floating in the sky.
The neck was broken and smooth, as if it had been severed by some sharp weapon.
Each of those heads had a smile on its face and its eyes open, as if it were still alive.
They were old and young, male and female, floating densely in the sky, stretching as far as the eye could see.
It looked like an ocean of thousands of heads.
Everyone who witnessed this scene felt a chill run down their spine.
"Everyone, move to the right." Fang Xiu's calm voice suddenly rang out.
He nimbly darted to the right side of the street.
Zhao Hao, Chen Lingxue, and the others followed closely behind without hesitation.
The others were taken aback at first, then realized what was happening.
Just as everyone was moving, the head lantern closest to them quickly turned its head.
It was a lively young girl with a bright smile on her face. Blood was dripping from her severed neck, indicating that she had just died.
As she turned her head, everyone could clearly see that her clear black and white eyes were emitting an eerie red light.
Just like two flashlights shining their light on the ground, they formed two beams of light that quickly swept towards the place where everyone had been standing.
