Before they could breathe a sigh of relief, more than a dozen floating heads abruptly appeared in the air.
Their eyes were hollow, their mouths split all the way to their ears.
They made strange "heh-heh" noises. These were Lantern Ghosts, also called Head Ghosts!
They were astonishingly fast!
Zhang Wenyuan had only just raised her bow when a Head Ghost lunged up and clamped its teeth onto her arm.
Shang Kai was also entangled by two Head Ghosts, one on either side. Their sharp teeth pierced his flesh, sending excruciating pain through him.
"Aah-!"
Flames erupted all over Shang Kai's body, forcibly blasting the Head Ghosts back.
But.
Several wounds deep enough to expose bone had already appeared on his body.
More than a dozen Head Ghosts chased and surrounded them, cutting off their escape. Like maggots clinging to bone, they could neither be shaken off nor escaped.
"Charge! Keep charging!" Zhang Bihuang roared.
Xiao Yuxia gritted her teeth and recklessly floored the accelerator.
The off-road vehicle rammed wildly through the encirclement of Head Ghosts, forcibly tearing open a bloody path.
But.
Once they broke through one wave, another awaited.
The Eerie were endless.
Like a tide.
They surged out of the darkness, crawled out of the mountain forests, and burrowed out of the ground.
They finally understood how terrifying a gap lay behind Cao Xianming's words, "a seventy percent survival rate."
Over at the Survival Convoy.
With casual swings of her blade, Wang Ying effortlessly cleared every obstacle by herself.
The others did not even need to fight. Their path remained unobstructed.
Meanwhile.
On their side, all four fought with everything they had, covered in wounds.
Yet they could barely advance, and they might be wiped out at any moment.
No one regretted it more than Shang Kai.
