Shen Lingxue hesitated slightly, but ultimately chose to believe Fang Xiu.
She extended a slender, fair finger, and with a soft pop, a small flame appeared at her fingertip.
With a flick of her finger, the small flame landed on the gasoline.
boom!
The gasoline ignited instantly, and towering flames erupted, presenting a spectacular fire show to the crowd in just a moment.
Trees, houses, chicken coops, piles of firewood, and everything else were mercilessly devoured by the fire.
Under the illumination of the towering flames, the entire Blackwater Village was as bright as day for a moment.
Feeling the waves of heat coming from them, Fang Xiu and the others couldn't help but step back a little.
"Brother Xiu... are the villagers of Blackwater Village really all demonic slaves? If you're wrong about this, then we've committed a heinous crime!" Liu Shuai asked somewhat nervously.
Fang Xiu ignored him and calmly watched the burning Blackwater Village, the flames reflecting in his dark pupils, flickering continuously.
"Don't you guys think it's too quiet?" Zhao Hao seemed to realize something.
"Logically speaking, if the villagers are all normal people, why didn't anyone scream during this fire? Why didn't they even leave their houses?"
At this moment, the entire Blackwater Village was completely engulfed in flames.
Suddenly, an extremely suppressed and deep roar came from the sea of fire. The sound was extremely penetrating, and even though Fang Xiu and the others were far away, they still felt their eardrums hurt.
"You...you deserve to die!!"
Suddenly, a sharp female voice filled with murderous intent rang out.
boom!
A house in the northwest corner of Heishui Village suddenly exploded, sending countless sparks flying.
Have they finally shown themselves?
A flash of excited, bloodshot light appeared in Fang Xiu's right eye.
Against the backdrop of the raging flames, a young woman slowly emerged from the ruins.
She was thin and had rough skin. She had a large black birthmark on her left cheek and wore a red floral top, looking just like a peasant girl. However, she had long, silver-white hair that reached her waist, which seemed extremely incongruous.
With her appearance, a terrifying and eerie aura began to spread. The aura was extremely cold and even subtly suppressed the raging flames, causing the temperature to drop by several degrees.
Fang Xiu wasn't surprised to see the unfamiliar silver-haired woman. He would have been surprised if the mastermind was someone like the village chief or Wang Fugui.
Since the mastermind has decided to remain hidden, the best course of action is to stay out of the way and avoid revealing any flaws.
Instead of the murderer constantly lurking in front of you like in TV dramas, isn't this giving the protagonist a chance to notice something unusual?
"I didn't intend to kill you, but you dared to destroy my home, so you deserve to die!"
The silver-haired woman's words were like a signal.
The next moment, one villager after another emerged from the houses engulfed in flames.
The villagers were covered in flames, their skin charred, revealing their equally charred hair underneath. That hair kept burning and growing back, in a never-ending cycle.
They roared silently, like ghosts struggling in hell.
Fang Xiu was not surprised to see this scene. He had already guessed that ordinary flames could not burn these demon slaves to death, but could only cause them some damage.
Although the hair that makes up the demon slave looks thin, each strand is as strong as a steel wire.
The demonic slaves gathered around the silver-haired woman, like loyal guards protecting their queen.
At this moment, the silver-haired woman waved towards the Blackwater River, and a powerful spiritual fluctuation appeared.
The sound of crashing waves echoed from the direction of the Blackwater River.
The next second, a shocking scene unfolded: a giant wave, more than ten meters high, seemed to be drawn by some magical force, surging up from the Blackwater River and rushing towards Blackwater Village.
Wow!
The giant wave crashed down, like a giant slap, instantly extinguishing the raging flames in Blackwater Village.
The flames on those demonic slaves also went out, but they no longer resembled humans at all, only retaining human shapes.
Their entire bodies were covered in hair, completely black, like mummies, except they were wrapped in hair instead of cloth.
Upon seeing this scene, Shen Lingxue was shocked, because she had just clearly sensed the powerful spiritual fluctuations emanating from the silver-haired woman.
"She's not a monster! She's a Spirit Master! A second-tier Spirit Master! The water control she just displayed was her ability," Shen Lingxue exclaimed.
Upon hearing this, the bloodlust that had been faintly rising in Fang Xiu's right eye instantly vanished, as if a furnace about to ignite had been doused with a bucket of cold water.
"She's a spirit master? But what about those hairy demon slaves?" Zhao Hao asked in surprise.
“She is indeed a spirit master, but her hair is strange! If I’m not mistaken, this hair strange thing is a possession-type strange thing, and it’s attached to this person,” Shen Lingxue explained.
After Fang Xiu heard this, the bloodshot light in his right eye began to rise faintly again.
He was gradually beginning to understand everything.
On the first night, the silver-haired woman lured everyone to the Blackwater River, manipulated it using her water control abilities, and then used her hair-ghostly abilities to control the female corpse.
"Kill them!"
At the silver-haired woman's command, hundreds of her demonic slaves roared and charged towards the crowd.
"Oh my god! Help!"
"Hugh... Hugh, they outnumber us, should we retreat first?"
"Fang Xiu, didn't you say we were sure we could win? What are our chances of winning?" Shen Lingxue asked anxiously.
