“Hu.. Hu.. Hu..”

Lu Ren’s urgent voice sounded in the dense forest. He was running crazily.

The forest was dark. The tall and straight trees blocked most of the sunlight, and only the mottled and sparse light shone in through the leaves of the trees, making the forest exceptionally mysterious and strange.

The forest was filled with an erratic fog, but it was surprisingly quiet. All that was left were Lu Ren’s heavy panting and footsteps.

As he ran, small cuts from the bushes kept appearing on Lu Ren’s body, but he did not feel any pain at all as the adrenaline in his body surged.

He was very tired and exhausted, but his strong desire to survive made him not dare to stop.

The ugly thing behind him made his scalp tingle. He could not find an adjective to describe the other party even after living for more than 20 years.

Even now, Lu Ren still had lingering fears. He was shocked and anxious. He turned around and looked behind him. The commotion behind him was getting louder.

Immediately, he saw a ball of flesh that seemed to have been melted by the overlapping and compressing of flesh and blood. Three heads had melted into a ball, and the eyes were flowing slowly along with the melted flesh and blood tissues. Its hands and feet had become the supports, and its entire body was flowing with a viscous liquid. It smelled nauseating, and as it rolled, it was speeding toward Lu Ren, getting closer and closer.

Don’t be anxious, don’t be anxious!

As Lu Ren panted, he forced himself to calm down. Fortunately, he usually had a strong taste and liked to see some strange and bizarre illustrations. After the shock had passed, he finally regained his senses.

Facing the tree trunk in front of him, which was thick enough for two people to wrap their arms around, Lu Ren’s right foot, which had stepped out, paused for a moment. After sliding a mark on the ground, he slammed hard into the tree trunk. Using the rebound energy, he rolled to the side and immediately scrambled forward without stopping.

The ball of flesh behind him did not expect this and collided directly with the tree trunk. The huge impact caused the tall tree to shake severely, and its branches and leaves rustled violently.

When the ball of flesh regained its senses, it saw that Lu Ren was only a silhouette about to disappear into the forest. The three cracked mouths of the ball of flesh opened, emitting a sharp and heavy sound.

“Lu Ren, aren’t we good friends? Why have you abandoned us? Come back quickly, let’s be together!”

The tearing sound in his ear made Lu Ren purse his lips tightly. He did not dare to be discouraged and maintained his running speed. His eyes were wide open as he looked at the environment in front of him, afraid that he would trip and fall to the ground.

The ball of flesh behind him was called Wang Gang, Zhang Qingya, and Luo Zixuan.

Yes, that’s right. This was the original name of the monster stitched from three bodies. However, after accidentally landing in this strange place and walking to a place similar to an altar, Lu Ren had already reminded them several times not to investigate those things out of curiosity. Be it in novels or in movies, such people all died very early.

However, the three of them refused to believe it. When the three of them walked up the altar, they seemed to have reached some kind of conditioning mechanism. Strange red runes suddenly lit up under the feet of the altar. Immediately after, the three of them were trampled into a ball of flesh out of thin air. Their arms and legs were all exposed as support points.

That scene, Lu Ren expressed that it was definitely the most shocking and terrifying scene he had seen in the past twenty years.

Seeing that Lu Ren still did not stop, the three mouths on the ball of flesh, which were swaying left and right, howled and rolled over crazily.

No, I can’t outrun this monster!

He had to think of a way to resolve this!

Finally calming down, Lu Ren kept thinking. He was running much slower than the ball of flesh. If he were to run around like a headless fly, he would be eaten in the end.

What should he do! He was so anxious that his scalp turned numb. He did not know what to do.

Suddenly, he felt a word appear in his mind. Before he could sense it carefully, the ball of flesh had already rolled over crazily.

Lu Ren did not dare to think further. He ran crazily forward, and suddenly, the dense forest in front of him opened up.

It was the altar they had just arrived at!

Altar?!

Oh right, firewood!!

At this critical moment, a voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

[The stress response has successfully activated the System. Binding in progress.. binding successful.]

[Ding.. You have been affectionately watched by Lanaye. The other party has warmly invited you to be his good friend.]

[You kept running earlier, your Physical Constitution Proficiency Level +1]

[Ding.. You suddenly changed directions while running. Your Agility Proficiency Level +1]

[You were shocked just now. Your mental strength has been passively increased. Proficiency Level +1]

[You ran hard just now. Your physical constitution has been passively upgraded. Proficiency Level+1]

“Just now, you were..”

What was this?

System?! Interface flow, where did this come from?!

Lu Ren did not have the time to think carefully. The so-called Lanaye behind him had already rushed over rapidly. If he did not do something soon, it would really be too late.

He looked at the four candles standing around the altar. The scarlet flames were as obscure as blood. They looked like blood and were flowing continuously.

Lu Ren immediately picked up the wooden stick that had been thrown on the ground and swept it viciously at a tall candle flame in front of him.

He did not dare to walk into the altar. Wang Gang, Zhang Qingya, and Luo Zixuan were typical examples of courting death. Previously, he had tried till his saliva was dry but could not stop them. It was as if they had become possessed.

Bang!

With a crisp sound, the long pole of candle flame, which seemed to have been corroded by the wind to the extreme, cracked and collapsed to the ground.

Lu Ren did not stop for half a second. He aimed the wooden stick in his hand at the broken candle flame on the ground.

Bang!

With a soft sound, the candle flame continued to spin in the air. The trailing flames were like a ring of fire, and then suddenly collided with Lanaye who was running crazily towards Lu Ren.

The moment the candle flame touched the liquid, the thick liquid that kept leaking out of Lanaye was instantly swallowed by the flames. Immediately after, a huge flame soared into the sky, and the incomparably hot heat roasted Lu Ren, who was not far away, until his entire body hurt.

[Ding.. You have used the Sacrificial Flame to sorch Lanaye. Lanaye experienced extreme pain. His heart is full of you now, and he has remembered you in his heart. You have received incomparably deep love from Lanaye.]

Love my ass!!!

Before he could complain about the unexpected voice in his mind, Lu Ren, who was almost dehydrated from the heat, quickly retreated.

Lu Ren heaved a sigh of relief when he was only left with a little heat.

At this moment, Lanaye, who had been lit up by the fire, was roaring in pain and rolling around crazily. There was even the fragrance of meat and roasted meat.

When Lu Ren, who had temporarily eliminated danger, heard this, he did not have any appetite and almost vomited.

[Ding.. You have burned Lanaye with fire. You feel satisfaction in your mind, your Mental Faculty Proficiency Level +1]

[Ding.. You were running crazily just now. Your Agility Proficiency Level+1]

[Ding.. Just now..]

A series of notifications appeared in Lu Ren’s mind. After confirming that he could not be threatened for the time being, he finally turned his attention to the notifications in his mind.
