This "bridal chamber" area, specially designated by Wu Hao, was located in a low-lying spot a hundred meters from the camp.

The surrounding tall wheat stalks were pressed down, and a layer of clothes was spread out as a bedsheet.

Red moonlight poured down, casting an ambiguous and eerie filter over the place.

"Brother Jin Sheng... be gentle later, don't hurt me."

Bai Lianhua sat on the pile of clothes, pretending to shyly unbutton her top while rolling her eyes internally.

This wretched place was full of wheat stubble, making her buttocks ache.

Moreover, Wang Jinsheng, who was in front of her, had been standing there foolishly since he arrived.

He was backlit, so his expression was unclear, and only his heavy breathing could be heard.

"Heh heh..."

Wang Jinsheng let out a dull laugh and slowly approached.

Bai Lianhua suppressed her disgust and proactively hooked her arms around Wang Jinsheng's neck, her breath like orchids.

"Idiot, what are you waiting for? Didn't you say... you wanted my person?"

"Come on, as long as you listen to me from now on, I'm not saying I can't make you feel good..."

However, before she could finish speaking.

The big hands that should have been embracing her waist suddenly gripped her neck tightly!

"Cough! You..."

Bai Lianhua's eyes widened in terror. Just as she was about to curse, she saw Wang Jinsheng's face clearly in the red moonlight.

That originally honest face was actually splitting open from the middle!

It wasn't her mouth opening, but her entire face peeling apart like an ill-fitting garment, tearing from the nasal bridge!

Beneath the split skin and flesh, there were no bones, no muscles.

Only clumps of withered yellow straw stained with dark red blood!

"Yes... I want... your person."

Wang Jinsheng's voice changed.

No longer human voices, but like two pieces of rotten wood rubbing together, piercing and hollow.

"Skin... too tight... change... a new one..."

"Ah!!! Strange... woo woo woo!"

Bai Lianhua finally reacted, letting out an extremely tragic scream.

But as soon as the scream left her mouth, countless rough stalks of straw that drilled out of Wang Jinsheng's mouth forcefully stuffed it back into her throat!

"Mmph!! Mmph mmph!!"

Bai Lianhua struggled wildly, her nails scratching at Wang Jinsheng, but all she got were handfuls of rotten grass.

Pfft!

Wang Jinsheng's hand, which had completely turned into straw, plunged into Bai Lianhua's abdominal cavity!

It was like stuffing cotton into a rag doll.

He madly stuffed straw into Bai Lianhua's body!

First her stomach, then her chest cavity, and finally her limbs.

To stuff even more, he roughly tore open the corners of her mouth and eyes.

Under the blood-red moonlight, two humanoid figures intertwined, shaking violently.

Accompanied by bone cracking sounds and dull thuds.

"Heh heh... Listen, listen to that noise."

In the camp, several boys on guard winked at each other, with lewd smiles on their faces.

"This Wang Jinsheng usually looks honest and simple, I didn't expect him to be so ruthless!"

"That noise, worthy of a sports student, his stamina is great!"

"Bai Lianhua, that plastic surgery face, she must be having a blast now, right?"

A knowing laughter erupted from everyone.

However, Wu Hao, sitting by the bonfire, did not look well.

He held half a compressed biscuit in his hand, his brow furrowed.

It wasn't because Bai Lianhua had been "taken down," but because he sensed something was deeply wrong.

"Too fast..."

Wu Hao glanced at the luminous watch on his wrist. It was only two in the afternoon, but the sky had already turned completely dark.

This time flow, which defied the laws of nature, made the unease in his heart grow stronger.

"Wu Hao, we don't have much supplies left."

Liang Rui finished inventorying her backpack and walked over with a solemn expression.

"Even if everyone eats sparingly, these supplies will only last for two more days at most."

"Don't panic."

Wu Hao took a deep breath, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes as he pointed at the sky.

"Do you still remember that rankings?"

"The first place, 'No Need to Say More,' was able to gain points, which means the monsters can be hunted!"

"If I'm not mistaken, this thing settles the scores every day."

Electric arcs danced in Wu Hao's hand, illuminating his ambitious face.

"As long as we start hunting those crows tomorrow, we can get points and rewards!"

"With me, a B-class Lightning Ability User, here, everything will be a piece of cake."

"The longer we survive, the richer the rewards will be!"

Liang Rui nodded, her eyes full of admiration.

"Okay, I'll accompany you."

"As long as we join forces, we'll definitely dominate this area."

Afterward, she glanced at the wheat field in the distance, which was still making noise, and sneered.

"Then... do we need to call Wang Jinsheng?"

"No need."

Wu Hao snorted coldly, "Let him enjoy himself for one day first."

"Serve that Bai Lianhua woman well, and this scum couple will be more loyal to me, acting like dogs."

Liang Rui was naturally overjoyed.

As long as Wang Jinsheng and Bai Lianhua were tied together, no one would compete with her for Wu Hao.

However, not everyone was so well-behaved.

"Let's go, let's go 'Tease the Newlyweds'!"

Three bold boys, their curiosity piqued by the sounds they'd heard earlier, exchanged glances and revealed wicked smiles.

"Heh heh, we'll just sneak a peek. Let's see what that Bai Lianhua is really like in private, despite her usual high-and-mighty demeanor!"

The three of them crouched low, using the wheat stalks as cover, and quietly crept towards the direction of the sounds.

Soon, they saw an open ground ahead where the wheat had been flattened.

Under the Blood-red Moonlight, a pale figure was kneeling on the ground, motionless, Back Facing them.

"Holy Crap... so pale?"

The three of them stared, swallowed hard, and signaled to each other.

Three, two, one!

"Ha! Surprise, surprise..."

The three of them suddenly leaped out of the wheat field, intending to startle the Illicit Couple.

However, the moment they saw the scene before them, the lewd smiles on their faces instantly solidified into extreme terror.

"Uh... Ah..."

The figure kneeling on the ground was indeed Bai Lianhua.

But the skin all over her body was tattered and torn.

Her mouth was wide open, her eye sockets were empty, her nostrils were flared, and her ears were ripped.

And all these holes...

Were stuffed with withered, blood-stained straw!

Her stomach was cut open, her Organs were missing, and in their place were bundles of straw!

This was no passionate bridal chamber!

This was clearly a freshly made, still-dripping "Human Skin Scarecrow"!

"Ah!!!"

The three of them were scared out of their wits, their Screams not even fully uttered.

"Sur~prise~"

A rubbing sound echoed from behind them.

The three stiffened and turned around.

Where there had been nothing before, a Tall Scarecrow now stood.

It was Carrying an Old Lantern in its hand.

"Ahhh! Monster!"

The three screamed simultaneously.

The next second.

Crack!

The Lantern Handle instantly elongated, transforming into a rusty yet incredibly sharp Giant Scythe!

A Cold Light flashed!

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

Three heads flew into the sky, blood spraying from their Necks onto the Wheat Stalks.

The scarecrow didn't stop.

It extended its other two hands, grabbed the Headless Corpses, and the Wheat Stalks in its hands surged, drilling into the Neck Cavities.

It was making new Companions.

"Ahhh! Murder!"

Not far away, a Boy, who had been slower and was still observing from behind, let out a tragic scream.

He had witnessed the scene with his own eyes, was so terrified he peed his Pants, and turned to run!

"Help! Brother Wu, help! There's a monster!!"

This scream shattered the night's Deathly Stillness.

The scarecrow, busy making corpses, paused.

Crack, crack, crack...

Its head rotated one hundred and eighty degrees, its eyes glowing with Red Light locking onto the fleeing Boy.

"ROAR!!"

This time, it no longer imitated a human voice.

Instead, it let out a beast-like roar!

Its originally stiff body instantly flattened to the ground, and a third withered wood-like arm suddenly burst from its back!

Using three hands, it was like a giant deformed spider, crawling madly across the wheat field, its speed so fast it left behind afterimages!

"What was that sound?!"

In the camp, Wu Hao and Liang Rui suddenly stood up.

"Over there! It's that idiot who teased the newlyweds!"

The remaining boy also pointed in that direction.

"Ahhh! Don't come any closer!!"

The shrill cry for help abruptly stopped, followed by a bone cracking sound.

"Damn it! You dare touch my people?!"

Wu Hao's eyes blazed with anger, but more than that, it was his confidence in his B-class strength.

"Liang Rui! Come with me! Everyone else, grab your weapons and follow!"

"Yes!"

The three of them charged furiously into the deep wheat field.

However, when they arrived at the scene, all they saw was mince all over the ground and those "new scarecrows" impaled on wooden stakes.

"What... what ghostly thing is this..."

The boy immediately vomited from fright.

"Who?! Get out here!"

Lightning surged in Wu Hao's hand, illuminating the surroundings.

Whoosh~

A gust of ghost wind blew past.

The wheat waves rolled.

A huge black shadow fell from above their heads!

"Careful!"

Liang Rui screamed and shot out a fireball.

Boom!

The flames hit the Scarecrow, but only scorched a few stalks of straw before extinguishing.

"No damage! How is that possible!"

Wu Hao discovered in horror that his lightning strike was blocked by that Withered Wood Arm!

This was no ordinary Monster!

This was a BOSS! This was a Lord!

"Run! Run!!"

Wu Hao finally realized the gap in Strength and turned to flee.

But it was too late.

The Scarecrow brandished its Scythe. In this Wheat Field, it was a god.

"Ah!!"

"My leg!!"

This was a one-sided Slaughter.

The three were like lambs to the slaughter before this terrifying Monster.

The Scythe swung, heads fell.

In just three minutes.

The lightning extinguished, the flames dissipated.

"Urgh... urgh, Liang Rui... save... save me!"

Wu Hao was cut in half by the Scythe, his lower body still running while his upper body was filled with straw.

His originally arrogant demeanor completely vanished, replaced by a disheveled plea for help...

And the Scarecrow's transformation.

Five minutes later.

The wheat field returned to deathly stillness.

Only a heavy bloody smell drifted about.

In a ditch between the wheat rows, beside a pile of corpses.

Liang Rui curled up, clamping her mouth shut tightly, tears streaming wildly, but she dared not make a sound.

She had seen it.

She had hidden in the dark and personally witnessed the monster stop after killing Wu Hao.

It was listening.

Wherever there was a scream, the scythe would fly.

"Sound... it locates by sound!"

Liang Rui was overjoyed in her heart, she had found a path to survival!

"As long as I don't make a sound... as long as I remain absolutely silent... it won't find me!"

She held her breath, even suppressing her heartbeat, and lay on the muddy ground like a stone.

As expected.

The terrifying scarecrow turned in place twice, seeming to have lost its target, and waved its hand, carrying the lantern, preparing to leave.

"I survived... I survived..."

A surge of elation from surviving a calamity welled up in Liang Rui's heart.

However.

Just as the scarecrow was about to turn and leave.

Whoosh~

A gust of night wind blew across the wheat field.

Rustling...

The tall wheat stalks swayed in the wind.

One stalk of wheat brushed against the sleeve of Liang Rui's windbreaker.

"Pat."

The sound was very light.

So light it was like a needle dropping.

But in Liang Rui's ears, this sound was like the Grim Reaper knocking on her door.

She raised her head in terror.

She met the gaze of the Scarecrow, which had suddenly turned its head.

Its mouth, split open to its Ear Root, revealed a smile at her.

"Shh."

The Scarecrow raised a finger like a Dead Twig and made a shushing gesture.

The next second.

The Scythe fell.

Blood stained the Wheat Field.
