Starting from The Witcher, he slaughtered his way across the world.

"Fine, I'll risk it all! I'll do whatever you say, even if it costs me my life."

Kant clenched his fists. He knew that the chances of the two of them surviving were slim, and that fighting for their lives was better than waiting to die.

Luo Fan stopped talking and picked up a thick piece of firewood, reaching into the campfire. The weak flames gnawed at the firewood, hoping to keep the fire burning.

At this point, the fire in the campfire was already very weak, as if a mere gust of wind could extinguish it.

Because of the demonic corpse, a chilling oppressive atmosphere permeated the air, and the area illuminated by the campfire was shrinking rapidly, becoming increasingly dim.

Six meters, five meters, four meters... Only a very faint flame remained in the campfire, which could be blown away with a single breath.

A terrifying chill gripped their bodies as the demonic corpse drew ever closer, radiating a despairing sense of oppression.

Just then, Luo Fan suddenly moved, lunging towards the demon corpse as if courting death, holding a piece of firewood with only a faint flame in his hand.

"Enhance me!!"

He roared inwardly.

[Successfully upgraded firewood into a simple torch by consuming 1 upgrade point]

A pop-up window flashed by before he could even see it, and the firewood in Luo Fan's hand rapidly transformed into a simple torch. The flame at the tip instantly grew larger, becoming several times stronger in a moment.

The fire in his hand suddenly blazed brighter, as if a ray of hope had descended, and its light shone on the face of the demon corpse.

The demon corpse's usually placid face contorted the moment it touched the firelight, and a flicker of fear and rage appeared in its emotionless crimson eyes.

They couldn't understand what the person in front of them had done.

The skin on the demon corpse softened at a visible speed, as if it were no longer hard.

Fear appeared in its eyes, and it wanted to retreat from the firelight as quickly as possible, but it was too late.

Luo Fan had already used all his strength to pounce on it, and surprisingly, he easily knocked the demonic corpse to the ground, a situation that surprised even him.

But before he could think any further, he thrust the torch in his hand directly into the demon corpse's face.

"roar!!"

The demonic corpse let out a painful cry, its face twisted in a terrifying way, and struggled violently, but its strength was still surprisingly great, and it sent Luo Fan flying.

At the same time, Kant also ran desperately. He did not abandon Luo Fan and run away alone. Instead, he picked up the longsword on the ground as fast as he could and turned around to rush towards the demon corpse.

"Ah!"

He let out a courageous roar and slashed his sword down at the neck of the demon corpse that was trying to get up.

"Zheng—!"

With a hum, the longsword actually cut through the demon corpse's defenses, but got stuck in the bones of its neck. Kant's strength was not great, and he could not advance an inch further.

Luo Fan rushed over, ignoring the pain in his body, grabbed Kant's hands, and unleashed all his strength.

The two of them exerted their strength together, and the military longsword slashed down like a guillotine from the neck of the demon corpse, and a hideous, twisted head fell to the ground.

[Slay a demonic corpse and gain 2 enhancement points]

A pop-up appeared before his eyes, causing Luo Fan, who was about to deliver the final blow, to fall to the ground, panting heavily. His heart was pounding, and the surge of adrenaline made his head buzz.

Even now, his hands were still trembling slightly, and his legs were shaking a little, which reminded him of when he was a child and he would fight with others.

A flood of emotions overwhelmed Luo Fan, leaving him unable to recover for a long time.

"Killed, killed them?"

Kant, equally incredulous, collapsed to the ground, watching the red light in the eye sockets of the demon corpse's head gradually fade, feeling as if he were dreaming.

The demonic corpse, which even the guards couldn't handle, actually died at their hands?

"I had already discovered that this demonic corpse might be afraid of light, which is why it hasn't attacked us from the outside."

Luo Fan said, panting.

"I see, I thought it was just playing with us. You actually figured that out..."

Kant looked at Luo Fan with admiration, quite surprised by his keen observation skills.

Unlike him, who was already terrified and at a loss the moment the demonic corpse appeared.

I suspect the others present felt the same way.

"That's a possibility, so we have no choice but to give it a shot."

Luo Fan breathed a sigh of relief, adjusted his state, and felt fortunate.

The demonic corpse showed no fear of the firelight; it simply stood quietly on the periphery, chasing whoever ran. At first glance, it did seem to be toying with the people on the field.

Luo Fan wasn't sure if his deduction was correct, but in a situation where he was forced into a corner, he had no choice but to take a gamble.

Fortunately, he didn't waste the enhancement points. Given the situation at the time, even if he used them to enhance the basic body strengthening technique, it would have been impossible to escape from the demon corpse.

At that point, we'll really just have to wait to die.

Fortunately, his gamble paid off. The effect of the enhancement points was truly amazing; they could directly transform a piece of firewood into a torch.

If it weren't for this enhancement, the demonic corpse wouldn't have been weakened.

Now, having spent one enhancement point to kill the demon corpse, I've been rewarded with two enhancement points. Not only am I not losing out, I've actually made a profit.

And it also gave them a brief respite.

"Killing the demonic corpse only gives two enhancement points?"

Luo Fan thought to himself, "This demonic corpse has such terrifying strength, yet it's only worth two enhancement points."

As for why it's a brief respite...

Kant caught his breath and looked in the other direction, his face still pale: "The other demonic corpse, what should we do?"

Luo Fan also looked in that direction with a solemn expression. Although they had killed the demonic corpses that were chasing the criminals, it was only one of the threats.

Another demonic corpse was present, chasing after the fleeing guards.

Once it has killed them all, it will probably turn back.

At that time, will we have to resort to the same old tricks again?

Can the demonic corpse find its dead kind? If it can, opportunities like the one we just had will probably be hard to come by.

Luo Fan launched a sudden attack when he was very close to the demonic corpse, catching it off guard.

If the other demonic corpse had been more cautious, it wouldn't have given him that opportunity at all.

The threat of death still lingered, causing Luo Fan's recently calmed mind to become restless and filled with unease once again.

"No matter what, the campfire must not be let out."

He glanced around, searching with Kant for anything that could fuel the fire, adding firewood little by little.

With the death of one of the demon corpses, the chill in the air seemed to dissipate considerably. Without anything to suppress the fire, the flames grew even larger.

The warmth they hadn't felt in a long time gradually enveloped their bodies, dispelling the lingering repression in their hearts.

Luo Fan originally intended to throw the demon corpse's body into the fire as well, but as soon as the body got close to the flames, it emitted a putrid and foul stench that almost made people vomit just from smelling it.

In the end, he still threw the body aside.

Sitting by the campfire, Luo Fan kept thinking about how to deal with the other demonic corpse.

That was just a lucky break. Facing the second demonic corpse, will my two remaining enhancement points be enough to help me get through this difficult time?

At the same time, I was also a little puzzled. A while had passed, but there was still no sound. Could it be that the guards had escaped?

But the demonic corpse did not appear.

Just then, a series of footsteps came from afar, one after another, breaking the silence of the dense forest and making his heart jump into his throat!
