Crossing the wilderness to survive, starting with a broken kitchen knife.

Everyone fought with all their might, charging towards the stone platform. In the fierce battle, they approached the stone platform step by step. When they finally arrived at the stone platform, they found a crystal ball emitting mysterious power in the crack. The light of the crystal ball seemed to have a certain restraining effect on the three-headed monster.

Zhang Shi reached for the crystal ball without hesitation. The moment he touched it, it burst into a dazzling light, enveloping everyone. The three monsters seemed to be terrified of the light and retreated.

Everyone felt the warm and powerful power coming from the crystal ball. Their tired bodies miraculously regained a lot of energy, and even the pain from their wounds was alleviated a lot.

"What is the origin of this crystal ball? Why does it have such powerful power?" Ge Dalong asked while panting, his eyes full of surprise and confusion.

"No matter what it is, right now it is the key for us to deal with these three monsters and leave this place." Zhang Shi said, holding the crystal ball tightly, with a hint of hope and determination in his eyes.

The three-headed monster was much stronger than last time, but it was still temporarily forced back by the light of the crystal ball. However, it was obviously not willing to give up. It paced back and forth not far away, and its three heads kept making low roars, as if planning the next round of attack.

"We can't just sit there and wait for death. We have to take the initiative." Zhao Feng gripped the giant axe tightly, his muscles tense. Although the burn on his arm still hurt, his fighting spirit remained undiminished.

Huo Xiuxiu nodded slightly, gently shook the bell, and said, "I will use sound waves to disrupt its movements as much as possible. You guys look for opportunities to attack."

After saying that, Huo Xiuxiu increased the speed of shaking the bell, and the sound waves surged towards the three-headed monster like a tide. The three-headed monster seemed to be affected to a certain extent, and its movements became a little slow and its steps were a little messy.

Zhang Shi's eyes flashed upon seeing this, and he shouted, "Now!" He flashed like a ghost, charging towards the three-headed monster. The old sword in his hand flashed with a cold light, piercing the monster's leg. The three-headed monster sensed danger and tried to evade, but due to the interference of the sound waves, its reaction was delayed. Zhang Shi's sword slashed a deep wound on its leg, and like a living creature, black blood flowed out.

Zhang Shi keenly captured this scene, but had no time to think about it.

Zhao Feng seized the opportunity, leaping high from the side. With a whirring sound, he brought his axe down fiercely on one of the monster's heads. The monster's head jerked sideways, and Zhao Feng's axe grazed its cheek before hitting the ground, sending up a shower of sparks.

Ge Dalong quickly formed seals with his hands and muttered something. The surrounding water vapor quickly condensed, forming several sharp ice spikes, which shot towards the three monsters. The ice spikes hit the monsters' bodies with a "puff" sound, leaving several bloody holes on their bodies.

However, the three-headed monster's vitality was extremely tenacious. Despite being attacked by everyone, it still fought back frantically. Its three heads spewed out black flames, poisonous mist, and powerful sound waves, sweeping towards everyone.

Everyone dodged in a hurry, and Zhang Shi dodged the attacks while thinking about countermeasures. He found that after each attack, the monster would have a short period of weakness, especially after using three attack methods at the same time, the weakness would be more obvious.

"Everyone, pay attention. When it launches a simultaneous attack next time, we will attack its vital parts with all our strength!" Zhang Shi shouted.

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded and prepared themselves for battle.

Sure enough, not long after, the three monsters attacked again at the same time. After the attack, its body trembled slightly, and its breathing became a little disordered.

"Now!" Zhang Shi shouted, charging at the monster with the crystal ball in hand. The crystal ball's light grew increasingly dazzling, as if echoing Zhang Shi's determination. Zhao Feng, Ge Dalong, and Huo Xiuxiu followed closely behind, each unleashing their most powerful attack methods.

Zhang Shi aimed the crystal ball's light at the middle of the monster's head. Like a sharp sword, the light pierced the monster's head. The monster let out a shrill cry, and the old woman's head in the middle seemed to have been severely injured and drooped limply.

Zhao Feng seized the opportunity and, with all his might, swung his axe fiercely at the monster's other head. With immense force, the axe chopped the head off, sending black blood gushing out like a fountain.

Ge Dalong's ice spikes also hit the monster's body, leaving ice holes on it, and the monster's body began to shake.

Huo Xiuxiu kept shaking the bell, disrupting the monster's last bit of resistance.

With everyone's concerted efforts, the three-headed monster finally collapsed, and Huo Xiuxiu once again controlled its mind. It collapsed, raising a cloud of dust. Seeing this, the surrounding monsters fled in all directions and disappeared into the darkness.

Everyone collapsed on the ground exhausted, gasping for breath, but their faces were filled with the joy of victory.

"Finally got rid of this damn guy." Zhao Feng said while lying on the ground, looking at the sky.

Zhang Shi sat up and looked at the crystal ball in his hand, his heart filled with doubts: "What secrets does this crystal ball hide? Why is it here?"

Huo Xiuxiu also sat up and said, "No matter what, this crystal ball must be related to leaving the foggy area. We have to study it carefully."

Ge Dalong stood up, looked around, and said, "It's getting dark. We have to find a way to get through tonight safely. There shouldn't be any blind monsters looking for death around here anytime soon. I think the dragon's corpse is a good place. Let's rest on it tonight."

Everyone nodded, stood up, and prepared to leave this square filled with blood and battle. Just as they turned around, the three-headed monster suddenly changed its mind and broke free from Huo Xiuxiu's control. All three heads exploded simultaneously, and a huge shockwave with powerful force enveloped Zhang Shi and his group. The explosion resounded throughout the red area.

Ge Dalong immediately used the water wall and ice armor, and Huo Xiuxiu also released airflow to resist, but their actions were like a mantis trying to stop a chariot in the face of the power of the explosion. Zhang Shi and others lost consciousness almost in an instant. Fortunately, Pipi reacted quickly, turned into a stream of light, and drilled into Zhang Shi's White Tiger Space, thus escaping the disaster.

When Zhang Shi regained consciousness, he felt a splitting headache and a sense of shattered bones. He struggled to open his eyes and found himself in an unfamiliar, dimly lit space, surrounded by a stale, decaying atmosphere.

"Where is this?" Zhang Shi muttered to himself and tried to stand up, but his legs were weak.

He looked around and found that Zhao Feng and Ge Dalong were also lying not far away, their lives or deaths unknown.

Huo Xiuxiu is missing!

Zhang Shiqiang endured the severe pain in his body and crawled towards them, checking their conditions one by one. Fortunately, they were all still breathing weakly, but were seriously injured and fell into a coma.
