A shrill, venomous voice rang out, and she actually raised her hand, about to unleash her power to attack the head lantern.
Fang Xiu had previously said that we must never attack the head lanterns, because if we do, it will break the killing pattern of the head lanterns and cause them to swarm in.
At that time, everyone will be surrounded.
Surrounded by tens of thousands of human head lanterns, no one had any chance of survival.
The woman was well aware of this, which is why she chose to attack, aiming to kill those who stood by and did nothing to help her.
In fact, she never considered that if everyone stopped to rescue them, they would also likely be in danger.
In a sea of heads, any pause is fatal.
Upon hearing the woman's venomous voice, everyone's expression changed drastically. Ever since witnessing Fang Xiu's miraculous skill, they had already accepted his words as truth.
Since Fang Xiu said we absolutely must not attack the head lanterns, then we absolutely must not attack them, or people will really die.
But by then it was too late to stop the woman's attack.
Just as everyone was in despair, a dark golden throwing knife slashed through the air and pierced the woman's forehead.
The woman's eyes widened in anger instantly, and she fell straight to the ground.
The crisis was successfully resolved.
After killing the woman, the dark golden throwing knife seemed to be controlled by an invisible hand, pulling itself out of her forehead and flying rapidly towards the group.
Ultimately, it fell firmly into Fang Xiu's hands.
Only then did everyone realize that it was Fang Xiu who had just made the move!
He seemed to have anticipated what the female spirit master was going to do and acted in advance.
After this little incident, the group finally emerged from the sea of human head lanterns and got a chance to catch their breath.
Just as everyone was catching their breath, a young woman stepped forward and questioned Fang Xiu: "If you had stopped to save her, she wouldn't have done something so extreme, and you wouldn't have killed her. Why didn't you stop to save her?"
The young woman appeared to be a friend of the woman who had just died, her face showing grief and anger.
Before Fang Xiu could speak, the pale-faced fat man beside him said indignantly, "What are you saying! What kind of talk is that! If it weren't for Brother Xiu, you would all be dead long ago. Besides, why stop to save her?"
"So it wasn't you who bled me out? Do you know how much blood I'd lose if you stopped? I might have died on the spot!"
The young woman retorted, "We can take turns bleeding her! If we take turns bleeding her, we'll have enough time to save her."
Fang Xiu, it was wrong of her to attack the head lantern at the end, but putting that aside, were you not wrong? Everyone was following you; you could have stopped and chosen to save her, why didn't you?
Faced with the woman's questioning, Fang Xiu remained calm and said indifferently, "Why would I save a piece of trash?"
A useless person who loses control of their spirit even in the face of such a small situation will only add to the nightmare's terror if they survive.
The young woman was stunned at first, then flew into a rage: "That's a human life! How can you be so cold-blooded! You could have saved her by having everyone take turns bleeding her, but you just stood by and watched her die. And those spirit masters who died at the beginning, if you had just taken out the bronze candlestick earlier, none of them would have had to die!"
It was you! You killed them!
Fang Xiu nodded calmly: "Yes, I killed them. What can you do about it?"
The young woman was stunned again. She hadn't expected Fang Xiu to admit it so readily; this was something she hadn't anticipated.
Fang Xiu's composure only fueled her anger.
"Do you have even a shred of conscience or morality? How dare you kill them!"
"So all you can do is bark like a dog?" Fang Xiu stared indifferently at the woman. "I'll ask you again, I killed them all, so what can you do about it? Do you want to kill me to avenge them? Or do you want to leave my group and go your own way?"
"I...I..." The young woman stammered, because she really didn't know what she could do. As for leaving the group, that was even more impossible. Without Fang Xiu, how could she venture into the Nightmare's Realm?
But now that she was being restrained, she immediately addressed the crowd: "Are you just going to stand by and watch him abandon his teammates? How can we let someone like that be our captain?"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at the woman indifferently, and no one made a move.
No one present was a fool. They had already witnessed Fang Xiu's incredible skills, and that's why they knew very well that only by following Fang Xiu could they survive.
Moreover, they actually quite agreed with Fang Xiu's approach.
Admittedly, we could have taken out the bronze candlestick earlier and saved everyone, but have we considered this question?
That is, how much blood would everyone lose if that were done?
Just to save a few useless guys, are we going to drag down the whole team's fighting power?
Moreover, this place is quite far from Putuo Temple. Who can guarantee that the only eerie sight along the way is the human head lantern?
I've managed to get through this level by wasting some health, but what about the next one? And the one after that? What will I rely on to win when I finally encounter the Nightmare?
Even if we save these people and get more blood, what's the point?
Once is a burden, every time is a burden.
Faced with the human lanterns this time, Fang Xiu gave the standard answer. These people couldn't even copy it correctly. Even if he saved them this time, what about next time? And the time after that?
"Continue forward." Fang Xiu didn't even glance at the woman before giving the order.
