The once open mountaintop has somehow become an isolated island.
The surrounding seawater was vast, as if the tide were rising, threatening to engulf the entire island.
Cheng Shuang gritted her teeth, got up, quickly grabbed the bear's leg, and bravely climbed up.
The fluffy teddy bear wasn't as soft as a toy; its mane was a bit prickly, and its muscles were hard. The little girl crawled around touching it, and it was surprisingly warm.
Wow! Her teddy bear is alive!
Once she had climbed onto the teddy bear's shoulder and settled in, the little girl, still breathless, excitedly commanded, "Open the fire!"
The giant brown bear stiffened, and under Liu Juan's horrified gaze, it grabbed the little girl by the collar, pressed her down on the back of her neck, and carefully pinched her thin arms and placed them on its ears to steady itself.
Liu Juan immediately exclaimed "Wow!" with inexplicable envy. Bear-shaped mounts and such are so cute!
Hugging the teddy bear's big head, the little girl gave a happy "Mmm" sound and then gave the order again, "Attack!"
At a command, a thick arm swung out, grabbing the nearest Destroyer and tearing it apart with its claws.
"Shuangshuang, your bear is a physical attack." The boy's voice was calm and composed, but there was a hint of fervor in his eyes. He turned to look at the other two, "If we have to categorize them, Sister Liu, you, Uncle Ma, and I would be considered magical attacks!"
"I didn't realize you were such a gamer!" Liu Juan said, both amused and exasperated. Magic attacks? She'd be more than grateful if it could just attack and defend.
Ma Guoxu smiled sheepishly, clearly sharing the same thought as Liu Juan.
Even with the people in the last row acting as bait, the others did not dare to slow down their attacks. The waves swept in at a visible speed, but the number of the monsters was decreasing very slowly. Some of the 'gifts' were already showing signs of weakness, like the water droplets in Liu Juan's thermos bottle, which were decreasing one by one.
Those surrounded by them couldn't even scream; most were slumped helplessly in their driver's seats. Soon, through the gaps, one could vaguely see that only two cars remained in the last row—those of Wu Qian and her boyfriend. Even though their gifts were beginning to flicker with a faint, almost dissipating light, they still had a chance to hold on.
In order to save their lives, no one held back. The attack was effective. Some of the black-robed men were scattered, and the outer layer retreated one after another, eagerly rushing towards the others, with the main targets being the fifth row and the three experiencers whose gifts had lost their effect.
No, it should be said that the safe time for the first few rows of rewards gradually disappeared, so they were noticed by the monsters.
Cheng Shuang silently observed her surroundings.
The seawater tightly surrounded them. The island's limited size restricted their movement, making escape a pipe dream. And there were at least a dozen more men in black robes...
A chilling wind blew in gusts, chilling you to the bone.
That invisible force was acting on their minds. If they had personal dashboards, their red bars were now trembling and sliding, their blue bars were almost empty, and their fatigue levels were dropping rapidly.
Before the men in black robes could attack, the man in car number 3 screamed and jumped out of the car like a madman, clutching his head. Ma Guoxu, who was in the same row, was a burly man with a fierce appearance. It would be difficult for him to even get close to the car, let alone protect him. As for the other woman... He didn't dare to delay. Unable to find Liu Juan, he went straight to the little girl's seat. Seeing that there was no one in the car, his eyes lit up with surprise, and he sat down without any hesitation.
Upon seeing this, Liu Juan's face darkened. Before she could speak to stop them, the man in black robes reacted and headed straight for Cheng Shuang.
The giant brown bear's fighting prowess is beyond question, but the man in number 3 was the target of the man in the black robe, and he immediately called his friends, attracting several others.
Du Jun, Liu Juan, and Ma Guoxu immediately changed their attack direction to help the brown bear defend itself. With less support in the back row, they immediately started cursing, "Why did you guys split up the attack? Don't be so selfish!"
"Help me! Ah, help!"
Du Jun ignored him, Ma Guoxu hesitated, while Liu Juan sneered, "Selfishness is better than despicable behavior!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the other two people being besieged somehow discovered that car number 3 was cheating. Their will to survive surged, and just as they were about to ask for help from the left and right, they were threatened by the drivers of other vehicles. They immediately scrambled to the back of the brown bear, which seemed to be the strongest fighter at the moment.
The man in number 3 was not satisfied. He clenched his fists and roared, like a wild beast whose territory had been invaded.
Cheng Shuang patted the brown bear's head worriedly. Others might not understand, but she was closest and could naturally sense the bear's exhaustion. The bear cub was alive now, so the monster's influence on its soul power was also affecting it. Now that all the other participants had gathered around, the situation was extremely dire for her.
The little girl bit her lip, angry at the adults for bullying the weak but helpless. She couldn't very well go down and beat them up; she wanted to but couldn't! Her little face puffed up like a bun.
Du Jun glanced at it, then pointed the pink ball of thread at a man huddled in the back of the car without any politeness, and threatened him in a cold voice, "Get lost!"
Several men in black robes gathered at the location of the first car. For Du Jun and Liu Juan, who were closest to Cheng Shuang, it was actually quite uncomfortable. A wave of exhaustion washed over them, and Liu Juan became extremely irritable.
"Get out of here! Is it so great to bully a child?"
The men hiding to the left and right of the brown bear didn't even raise their heads, trembling. But a rebellious man in the fourth row spoke up, mocking, "When it comes to saving your own life, why differentiate between children? How ridiculous!"
Liu Juan was furious. She glanced at the almost extinguished light on the hood of the rebellious man's car and felt that he was talking nonsense. She thought of her elderly grandmother and the little girl's help several times. The contrast between her cold and fierce expressions was frightening. As if she had made up her mind, her gaze turned ruthless. In an instant, the thermos flask changed direction, and a drop of water flew towards the man number 3.
"You dare!"
The moment the two words were spoken, a drop of water decisively struck the forehead of man number 3, piercing through and leaving a dark hole.
The man's eyes widened as he collapsed to the ground, startling the other two who had been secretly observing the situation. Since entering the world of dense fog, they had witnessed instances of framing, blatant exploitation, and bullying the weak, but this was the first time they had seen someone so openly and brazenly taking a life.
The two fled in panic, running back to their car, which inadvertently drew away some of the men in black robes.
The shrewish man cried out in anguish, "Brother!" His voice was shrill and unpleasant, and his bloodshot eyes glared at the shocked woman. "I...will...kill...you!"
He spoke slowly and deliberately, his hatred evident in his gnashing teeth.
Liu Juan never expected that a water droplet that barely made a splash when it hit the man in black robes could kill someone with a single blow. She stood there stunned, trembling, completely unaware of the man's furious, furious rush towards her.
Ma Guoxu turned his car around and, while trying to stop them, shouted, "What are you doing? Don't be impulsive!"
"You're all in cahoots!" the man shouted angrily, but his eyes flickered as he deliberately looked around. When he noticed that the man in black robes was being drawn to him again, he swiftly grabbed Ma Guoxu by the collar of his vest and threw a punch.
