"Open the door." Faced with the inescapable Gate to the Other Shore, Fang Xiu finally gave the order.
If he is not mistaken, the true path to survival will only appear after the gate to the other side opens.
Yang Ming opened the door without hesitation.
Buzz buzz buzz!
The booming sound instantly erupted.
Yang Ming and the others' expressions changed, and they quickly retreated.
The next second, seemingly endless snakes and insects surged out of the Gate of the Other Shore.
"Run!" Fang Xiu gave the order, and everyone turned and ran.
Fang Xiu, on the other hand, slowly and leisurely moved and turned around, walking out of a small circle and successfully turning his body around.
The snakes and insects had long since overwhelmed him, but under the protection of the Ghostly Return, he was unharmed.
The Ghostly One was a coward who bullied the weak and feared the strong, not even blinking an eye at the insignificant snakes and monsters.
And when faced with the Taotie, they ran away without even blinking.
Fang Xiu didn't run very fast; he just stayed far behind Yang Ming and the others, quietly watching them being chased.
He guessed that in the face of crisis, fate would surely point Yang Ming out a way to survive.
Yang Ming and his men killed the snakes and insects while fleeing in a panic.
"Where's Brother Xiu?" Yang Ming suddenly realized that Fang Xiu was missing. His expression changed drastically. He thought that Fang Xiu was surrounded by snakes and insects and was about to go back to rescue him.
Fang Xiu's calm voice rang out from the eerie swarm of snakes and insects.
"I'm here."
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Fang Xiu leisurely walking out from the group of strange creatures, his unhurried manner as if he were taking a stroll.
The people who saw this scene almost had their eyes pop out of their sockets.
Ma Xingbang exclaimed in shock, as if history were repeating itself: "Fang Xiu! You still say you're not with them!"
Fang Xiu nodded calmly: "That's right, we're in cahoots. Kill him."
Buzz buzz buzz!
Countless snakes and insects rushed eerily towards Ma Xingbang and his group.
Ma Xingbang was shocked and had already taken out the golden key, instinctively starting to look for the door.
Unfortunately, there is only one door on the entire fifth floor, which is the Gate to the Other Shore.
An endless stream of snakes and insects surged out of the door, leaving no chance to use the golden key.
To be honest, given the circumstances, it's no wonder that Ma Xingbang would think that way.
Fang Xiu stood alone like an emperor among the strange creatures. The creatures seemed to be terrified of him and dared not approach, creating a vacuum around him.
Anyone who saw this scene would surely think that Fang Xiu was controlling a strange army.
"Hugh, you're still joking at a time like this."
"Run for your lives. I won't die, but whether you live or die is up to fate."
Fang Xiu said it that way on purpose, hoping to unleash the potential of Destiny.
Time passed second by second, and everyone's physical and mental strength were greatly depleted, with some even covered in blood.
But a way out has not yet appeared.
Fang Xiu frowned slightly. Had he guessed wrong?
Wait a little longer; Yang Ming hasn't been completely cornered yet.
While everyone else was fleeing, he was not idle; he was doing his best to experiment with the Taotie's mouth.
As he continued to draw upon his spirituality to depict the gluttonous maw in his consciousness, he finally felt a tearing pain in his left palm.
He raised his hand and looked at it, only to see a crack in his left palm.
That was a mouth! It was filled with rows of menacing, gleaming white teeth.
The mouth of a glutton!
Then, Fang Xiu suddenly reached his left hand into the swarm of snakes and insects, and grabbed one that was thin, slippery, and looked like a maggot.
The strange, violent struggle ended abruptly with the Taotie's maw opening wide, unleashing a powerful devouring force.
The strange creature was then swallowed whole.
Click, click...
All that could be seen was the mouth on its left hand constantly chewing.
At the same time, Fang Xiu could clearly feel a strange power surging into his body.
My spirit began to stir, and a faint warm current flowed through my body.
A strange light flashed in Fang Xiu's eyes.
He could feel a slight enhancement in both his spirituality and physical body.
Although very slight, it did increase the intensity a little.
This may be related to the snakes and insects being too weak and eating too little.
So Fang Xiu kept reaching his hands into the strange creatures, and the gluttonous mouths opened and closed wildly, devouring them with great relish.
More and more snakes and insects are being devoured by the Taotie's maw.
His spirituality and physical condition are also slowly increasing.
After devouring nearly a hundred snakes and insects, finally... its spirituality increased from 25% to 26%!
My physical fitness has also improved by about 10%, with increased strength, speed, and recovery.
Fang Xiu then stopped eating, because he had reached his limit and was full.
Although he has the ability to devour, his body is ultimately human and cannot devour endlessly like a gluttonous beast.
Furthermore, as he devoured more and more bizarre snakes and insects, he could feel his improvement becoming weaker and weaker, indicating that he needed to devour beings of a higher level.
This made Fang Xiu fixate on the ghost that had turned around.
Once the snakes and insects are gone, perhaps we can consider swallowing the ghost that turned back.
After all, it must have been quite lonely being kept in a mental hospital.
After thinking about it, I decided against it. With my current strength, it would probably be difficult to devour the Returning Ghost.
Although the methods of the "Turning Back Ghost" are despicable, its status is not low, as can be seen from its ability to intimidate snakes, insects, and other strange creatures.
About five minutes later, the group, who had been driven to the brink of despair, seemed to have a chance to turn things around.
While being chased and desperately trying to escape, Yang Ming suddenly made a turn and entered the corridor next to him.
Many snakes and insects, unable to turn in time, crashed directly into the opposite wall.
Upon impact, the mottled and chaotic eerie forces slammed into the wall, causing it to collapse instantly and revealing a red light curtain.
The snakes and insects, after strangely crashing into the red light barrier, seemed to be affected by some kind of force, and all of them exploded and died.
Fang Xiu, who had been keeping a close eye on Yang Ming, immediately understood what was happening when he saw this scene.
This is the way out!
So it turns out that it requires some kind of mysterious power to open?
No wonder it's necessary to open the Gate to the Other Shore. Only on the Other Shore can there be so many strange creatures. Countless snakes and insects fly around the maze. As their numbers increase, the maze becomes more and more crowded, and the chances of stumbling upon a way out become higher.
Under the influence of destiny, this probability will increase infinitely.
"This is the way out," Fang Xiu reminded him, and then walked towards the red light screen.
He ignored the others, nor did he need to. These three were all third-tier spirit masters. Although they were in a sorry state when facing the strange snakes and insects, they were by no means going to die.
The only way to die is from exhaustion.
Upon entering the red light curtain, Fang Xiu immediately felt a lightness in his back, and the icy chill disappeared.
Clearly, the ghost that turned back was kept out.
He began to look around and found that it was a completely enclosed space, the whole space was light red.
At the end of the space stood two doors.
