"You, walk in front."
"You, walk beside me."
Now that their three-person group had just formed, Er Niu naturally became the one calling the shots.
Not only did he make Fang Yu serve as cannon fodder, but he also openly revealed his desire for Nova.
Nova frowned. "But aren't you the strong one? Why are you making him walk up front alone?"
Er Niu wanted to say, Once this kid dies, I'll take you somewhere fun.
But they had not gone far from the group, so he could only pretend to be serious.
"The companions who died to the monsters earlier were all ambushed. I suspect ambushing prey is this monster's habit!"
Nova nodded thoughtfully, but the doubt in her eyes had not fully faded. She also kept a safe distance from Er Niu the entire time. Clearly, she did not trust him.
The three slowly advanced through the dim passage, their flashlight beams sweeping across the damp walls and casting mottled shadows.
Their footsteps echoed through the silent cave. Every sound seemed to remind them that this place was filled with the unknown and danger.
Soon, they arrived at a massive karst cave. Sharp stalactites hung from the ceiling, while the ground was covered in slick moss.
The air was thick with a damp, moldy smell mixed with the scent of earth and plants.
The eerie atmosphere of the cave made Nova shiver involuntarily. Instinctively, she wanted to move closer to Fang Yu ahead of her, seeking a little sense of safety.
However, Er Niu followed close behind, his gaze greedily lingering on Nova.
He suddenly suggested, "This place is too dangerous. The three of us should hold hands as we walk, just in case."
Nova finally could not take it anymore. She stopped and stared straight at Er Niu. "This is a dangerous Horror Film world. Why does a strong member of the team keep trying to put his hands on me?" Her voice was full of obvious displeasure and suspicion.
Nova's words made Er Niu blush. He had never been good with words, and now he could not explain himself at all.
A crafty gleam flashed through his eyes, and he simply stopped pretending.
He turned to Fang Yu, his tone threatening. "Kid, get lost! I've got something to do. If you know what's good for you, crawl away on your own!"
Fang Yu stopped, his gaze icy. He knew exactly what Er Niu intended.
He looked at Nova, then at Er Niu, before slowly speaking. "This place is indeed dangerous, but we're all Reincarnators. We should stick together. If you have any selfish intentions, I advise you to put them away."
"Heh, put them away?" Er Niu did not recognize that the person before him was actually the Human Pig who had accompanied him through four Horror Films, and he still wanted to show off his fists.
"Get lost!" Er Niu had just begun to chase him away when he suddenly looked elsewhere!
Fang Yu's expression also tightened abruptly!
His Sharingan caught an unusual movement within the dim cave!
Without the slightest hesitation, he acted at once, pulling Nova into his arms and dragging her away from the spot where she was about to become the target!
While Er Niu was still dumbfounded, an Alien with a sharp tail spike suddenly lunged from the darkness. Its scorpion-hook-like tail stabbed toward where Nova had just been standing at astonishing speed!
The hard ground was pierced with ease, leaving behind a deep hole!
The Alien's body was covered in a smooth black shell, with nauseating acidic blood flowing over it.
Its head was teardrop-shaped. When its enormous jaws opened, they revealed sharp inner teeth and a long tongue.
The Alien's eyes were black and pupil-less, cold and merciless.
Its body clung close to the ground, its long tail dragging behind it. The spike at the end dripped with acidic venom, radiating a deadly threat!
(Censored. If you're scared, hold Nova tight.)
Seeing a monster from the movies appear before her, Nova froze, her heart nearly stopping!
Fang Yu yanked her up and dragged her away at a run!
He moved so quickly that it was as if he had planned it all along.
At that moment, Er Niu was the closest person to the Alien. He had no choice but to face this monster from hell.
Er Niu ground his teeth in hatred. A trace of fear flashed through his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by fury.
He swiftly drew the gun at his waist and unleashed a barrage of gunfire at the Alien's head.
The bullets struck the Alien's shell with metallic clangs. Some ricocheted away, but others successfully pierced its skin, leaving wound after wound.
The Alien was enraged. It let out an even louder shriek, its tail spike whipping up again as it prepared to launch a fatal attack on Er Niu!
Fang Yu and Nova finally rushed out of the narrow passage and arrived in an open area.
Silence surrounded them, with only Nova's heavy breathing echoing through the space.
Her chest rose and fell violently as she softly thanked Fang Yu. "Thank you. You saved me..."
However, Fang Yu did not answer.
His gaze was focused and alert as he carefully examined their surroundings.
The interior of this enormous karst cave was filled with strange rocks and stalactites. Many broken containers were scattered throughout the central area, their fragments strewn across the ground in a chaotic, desolate mess.
Fang Yu remembered that these containers were where the Engineers stored wounded personnel in the movie. They had originally been sealed, protecting the creatures inside.
But now, every single one had shattered.
Their interiors were completely empty. The wounded Engineers who should have been inside had vanished without a trace.
A sense of foreboding rose in Fang Yu's heart.
The broken containers and the missing wounded might mean that there was more than one Alien in this cave.
Nova also noticed the broken containers, and fear flashed through her eyes.
She tightly gripped Fang Yu's arm, her voice trembling slightly. "What... what happened here?"
"Something bad." He handed his gun to Nova. "Take it."
"Huh?"
Nova had lost her own gun in the chaos. In her mind, if she accepted Fang Yu's gun, it meant taking away his hope of surviving.
"Take it. It doesn't mean much to me." Fang Yu pointed ahead. "Go that way. You might have a chance to live."
"What about you?" Nova was stunned.
"Me? I'm going to 'help' our teammate."
Before Nova could understand what he meant—
Urgent running footsteps came from the direction of the passage!
From the shadows of the passage, a massive figure came racing toward them at astonishing speed. Its movements were swift and agile, and every step made the ground tremble faintly.
When that figure burst from the darkness, Nova's heart jolted—it was a werewolf!
The werewolf's body was covered in thick fur, its sharp claws and fangs glinting coldly in the dim light.
Its eyes shone with a beastly glow, and a low growl rumbled from its throat, sending chills down the spine!
Nova staggered back several steps, terrified by the sudden appearance of this horrifying creature.
"Are... are there mythical animals like werewolves in Alien?" She tightly gripped the gun Fang Yu had given her, ready to deal with a possible attack at any moment.
However, what happened next shocked her even more!
A massive fireball suddenly appeared!
Its light illuminated the entire cave, and its scorching heat warped the air itself!
Like a falling meteor, the fireball hurtled toward the werewolf at astonishing speed.
The fireball was so fast that the werewolf did not even have time to react before it was struck head-on!
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
