It's not too much to say that a beauty is a little bit stronger

One of them lunged at another soldier.

The soldier let out a scream and was instantly pinned to the ground, followed by the sound of flesh being torn.

They will first seize the target, bite through the skull with their sharp teeth, eat the brain, and then dig out the eyeballs and swallow them into their stomachs.

"What...is this thing?" The deputy general finally caught up. Seeing this scene, his face turned pale and his hand holding the sword couldn't stop shaking.

Xiao Huai turned and looked at the deputy general, "You leave, we don't need your protection here."

The deputy general was stunned for a moment, then his face changed drastically: "My Lord! We can't--"

"Follow orders." Xiao Huai interrupted coldly, a hint of coldness flashing in his red eyes, "Go, even if it's better to be a deserter. Don't stay here."

The deputy general gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with reluctance and confusion: "But my lord, if you stay alone..."

"This is my order to you."

As soon as the words fell, the eyes of those who had previously sworn to follow Xiao Huai lost focus slightly.

The only thing in their minds now was Xiao Huai's orders to them.

leave here.

Xiao Huai looked up at the night sky.

The situation has changed, and if they stay, they will only die in vain.

[Warning! Pollution is spreading and the danger zone index is rising. Please proceed with caution.]

He frowned slightly and looked down at the system interface.

The data above shows that the pollution level in the entire area is rising rapidly, from the original yellow alert to orange, and is even approaching red.

It turned out to be pollution.

There was also a line of text flashing on the interface: [Highly polluted areas recommended to evacuate immediately.]

It's pushing itself deeper.

This was Xiao Huai’s first judgment.

Judging from the system's prompts and the actions of the white monster, the enemy obviously does not want him to leave easily, but hopes that he will get closer to the source of pollution step by step and touch a core secret.

Xiao Huai smiled lightly, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

He continued forward, but the system's prompts became more frequent:

[The danger index is increasing. The current regional pollution value is 87%.]

[In highly polluted areas, please remain vigilant and avoid staying there for extended periods of time.]

He stopped and let the system's prompts echo in his mind.

Then close your eyes and carefully feel the air around you.

Not far away, the smell of decay became stronger, and the air seemed to be mixed with a faint sweet and fishy smell.

He followed the scent and after walking past a tangled patch of trees, his sight stopped.

There were few trees in the open space ahead, but the ground was covered with dried blood.

And in the middle of the bloodstain, a corpse lay quietly.

A line of bold red text suddenly popped up on his system interface:

[Pollution source is approaching, please evacuate immediately! ]

Xiao Huai did not retreat, but walked towards the corpse step by step.

The body lay quietly in the center of the bloodstain, shrouded in dim light and shadow, like a painting.

As he got closer, details of the body began to come into focus.

Xiao Huai's eyes fixed. It was a face he had seen before.

Xuan Ji.

Whether it is the eyebrows, nose bridge, or the curve of the lips, they are exactly the same as Xuan Ji.

Her face was pale yet beautiful, as if she was just sleeping in the middle of the bloodstain, not a dead body.

Xiao Huai's gaze slowly moved down and landed on the chest of the corpse.

There was a neat incision, the skin and flesh were cut open, and the internal organs had obviously been taken out. The empty cavity was chilling.

His brows furrowed slightly, and a cold light flashed in his red eyes.

If it weren't for the shocking loss on her chest, he would almost think it was Xuan Ji herself.

After all, not long ago, Xuan Ji was still by King Zhou's side.

Judging from the surrounding vegetation, the body has been here for a long time.

The plants had all grown up over the corpse, and there were even faint signs of them taking root in the corpse.

[Warning! This area has high-intensity mental pollution, please evacuate immediately!]

Xiao Huai ignored the prompt, but slowly squatted down and carefully observed the corpse.

His eyes were calm, yet there was a hint of alertness in them.

The skin of the corpse was unusually smooth, without any signs of decay; even the bloodstains were an eerie bright red.

He stretched out his finger and gently touched the sleeve of the corpse. It felt like real human skin.

A series of possibilities emerged in Xiao Huai's mind.

She has the same face as Xuan Ji.

But is she a stand-in? Or is Xuan Ji her stand-in?

Just as he was about to continue his investigation, the air around him suddenly became cold, and an indescribable pressure came towards him from all directions.

Xiao Huai stood in place, his red eyes narrowed slightly, sensing the chill in the air approaching rapidly.

Suddenly, several female monsters in white slowly walked out of the darkness.

Their appearance was different from the monsters seen before. Although they still had disheveled hair, their expressions seemed calmer, even with a hint of unusual rationality.

Their eyes were pitch black, with no whites.

Black pupils.

Everyone holds a different weapon in their hands.

The daggers, crescent-shaped blades, and spears flashed with cold light, making people's hearts frightened.

Xiao Huai felt a murderous intent that was almost condensed into substance.

These female monsters stood quietly in front of him, not attacking immediately, as if observing his reaction.

They are definitely not the monsters that acted solely on instinct.

Is it harder to deal with than before?

[Remaining time of Greed effect: 10 days and 11 hours.]

I will not use the skill of Evil Flower unless I have no other choice.

Those three days of madness almost made him lose all his sanity.

And after that, he vaguely remembered that in the Tiandao space, the masked man handed him something.

After leaving the copy, when Xiao Huai checked the system space again, he was indeed stunned when he found the extra piece of chaos fragment.

Perhaps if I collect two more pieces, the Chaos Fragments will be completely collected.

But who is that masked man?

And why would he give him the Chaos Fragment?

At that time, the system suggested that there might be clues to his memory fragments hidden there, but even after the game ended, he still found nothing.

Could it be that the truth about memory isn't just about fragments? Perhaps, in the realm of hungry ghosts, there are people he once knew.

However, there was no point in thinking about it now.

The most urgent issue at hand is how to deal with these monsters.

A rose-red diamond sword appeared in Xiao Huai's hand. The sword body was flowing with a blood-like bright light, and the faint red light dispelled the shadows around him.

When they saw the weapon in Xiao Huai's hand, all the monsters pounced on him at the same time in the blink of an eye.

Xiao Huai spun around, the sword flashed past, and a bright red arc cut through the air.

"Shh!"

A monster's chest was pierced by a sword, but she seemed to feel no pain. Her body paused stiffly for a moment, then pounced again.
