Fan Xiao and Lu Xining frowned at the same time.
Two giant-faced monsters are attacking!
One attacked the back of Fan Xiao's head, and the other attacked Lu Xining's side.
Lu Xining immediately bent his knees and jumped, relying on his physical abilities which were even stronger than Fan Xiao's, he instantly leaped away from the repulsive barrier and soared into the sky in front of him, as if it were a leap of faith.
Fan Xiao wasn't as elegant as her; she rolled directly on the repulsion barrier, dodging the monster's tentacles that were aimed straight at the back of her head.
Then he readjusted the direction of the repulsive force and shot forward like a catapult.
After rushing seven or eight meters, he caught Lu Xining as she fell and lifted her up in a princess carry.
"Are you alright?" Fan Xiao asked with great concern.
Lu Xining: "..."
I was just combing my hair and touching shoulders.
Now it jumps straight to a princess carry.
She felt slightly uncomfortable.
The gap in the middle is too large.
However, since she had already promised Fan Xiao, she didn't struggle and tried her best to cooperate with Fan Xiao's embrace, hooking her arms around his neck.
"Looks like if I don't go home by the afternoon, the big-faced monsters will chase after me and attack me. I didn't expect they could teleport like the old woman with the dried corpse."
Lu Xining quickly deduced, "Go home immediately—I reckon everything should be fine then."
"They don't move as fast as the old woman with the mummified body."
Fan Xiao said, "It seems that their presence is more about urging us to go home and get beaten than about killing people."
As they were talking, the two monsters attacked again.
Fan Xiao quickly manipulated the repulsive force to change direction, dodging the lashing tentacles.
He changed direction four times in a row, dodging the combined attack of the four tentacles, and distanced himself from Lu Xining and the two monsters.
However, the big-faced monster then teleported behind them and launched a third wave of attacks.
Fan Xiao began to turn around repeatedly and said to Lu Xining, "You go back first, I'll come find you later."
"Wait a minute?"
A look of doubt appeared in Lu Xining's eyes.
According to her estimation, Fan Xiao's talent cooldown period should have already passed.
Now, by simply using the talent, you can immediately kill the monsters following behind you.
If they then take the opportunity to fly down and kill their "parents," they can resolve the series of dangers brought about by the worship ceremony.
Why... wait, could it be...?
Lu Xining suddenly realized what was happening.
The "hero saves the damsel in distress" trope can be most effective when combined with elements such as a stage, enemies, and crisis.
If we avoid the sacrificial ceremony now, where will the heroes have a chance to appear?
Offering help in a mundane way may lead to being looked down upon.
Offering help in times of need can be something people remember for a lifetime.
Helping someone can have completely different effects simply by changing the time and place.
"How despicable."
Lu Xining mentally complained.
However, she likes this way of doing things and doesn't reject it.
Because it is highly efficient.
After figuring it out, she stopped asking questions and obediently cooperated with Fan Xiao.
It was as if she had truly become Yan Keke at that moment, a helpless little girl.
Fan Xiao quickly led Lu Xining through the hole in the roof of the brick house and landed in the living room.
Two large-faced monsters teleported in.
The one that was chasing and attacking Lu Xining suddenly stopped attacking.
As if it had completed its mission, it jumped back onto the roof beam and disappeared.
Seeing this, Fan Xiao used the repulsive force to pull himself up and fly out through the hole in the roof.
The guess was confirmed—the big-faced monster did indeed come to urge the player to go home.
Lu Xining is safe for now.
He led the pursuing monsters back to his home quickly.
Once his feet were on the living room floor, the monster that had been chasing him quieted down and stopped waving its tentacles.
It jumped onto the roof beam and disappeared.
A sudden crisis was easily resolved.
Fan Xiao looked up and saw his "mother" standing at the door of the room on the side of the living room, seemingly waiting for him.
"Xiao Cui, where did you go?! Why are you only coming back now?"
The woman had a very angry expression, and there was a red handprint on her cheek.
It seems she was beaten by a man again.
It's probably because she can't even manage her daughter properly.
“I went to look for Xiaohua, but she’s gone,” Fan Xiao replied.
"That brat Xiaohua, she ran out during mealtime again. When she comes back, I'm going to break her legs!"
The woman said viciously.
Then she moved closer, grabbed Fan Xiao, and pulled him forward: "Let's finish today's ceremony first. We'll go find Xiao Hua later. Hmph, once we find her, she'll be in for it!"
As they were talking, Fan Xiao was pulled by the woman into the windowless room where the Five Ghosts were worshipped.
The dim candlelight illuminated the room.
Fan Xiao smelled the familiar scent of incense, which was extremely pungent.
After closing the door, the woman went to the man and his brother's side.
After carefully drawing blood from her younger brother, the woman poured the blood into an incense burner with five incense sticks, and then she and the man offered prayers together.
While offering prayers, they held their younger brother and began to recount all the boy's good qualities, praising him to the skies.
Fan Xiao waited patiently.
According to his guess, the time for each town's Five Ghosts worship ceremony is fixed and uniform.
That is, every day at 6 PM.
If the timing isn't consistent, some players will escape earlier and others later, and this time difference will give other players with malicious intentions an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
A player lies on the ground, unable to move, silently enduring the whipping. At this moment, another player who has already escaped runs over and kills him... How unjust is that?
"Since it's a fixed event, I suppose Xi Ning's ceremony is currently in the stage of praising her younger brother."
"When my parents were about to bleed me, I intervened and rushed to Xi Ning's house to save her."
Fan Xiao made a decision in his heart.
Fan Qiqi's appearance time is only two minutes, so you have to time your summoning perfectly.
Coincidentally, the behavior of his parents and younger brother in front of him served as a very standard time reference for him.
This did solve the problem of time comparison for him.
Soon, the first half of the worship ceremony was completed.
The father turned around and looked at Fan Xiao.
But just as he was about to speak, *whoosh*, his head flew off.
*Thud, thud...* Mother and younger brother were also broken into several pieces.
The three bodies gradually disappeared into the dimly lit room.
Just then, a noise came from the roof beam.
With the "Dustless Shield" unleashing its full repulsive force, Fan Xiao smashed through the door and entered the living room.
Floating beside him, Fan Qiqi instantly teleported to the roof beam and quickly sliced the big-faced monster into seventeen pieces.
It seems the little angel is still sulking, and her actions are much more ruthless than before.
"Qiqi, your neck."
Fan Xiao reminded her.
"Humph."
With a delicate groan, the female ghost riding on Fan Xiao's neck was also chopped into dozens of pieces.
Before she could even scream, her body parts disappeared into the living room.
Without further delay, Fan Xiao rushed out of the living room and flew into the sky. Within seconds, he accelerated to near the speed of sound and arrived at Lu Xining's house like lightning, landing in the living room with a hole in the roof.
Bang! The wooden door of the room where the five ghosts were enshrined was torn to shreds by his repulsive force.
The situation inside the house came into his view.
Lu Xining squatted on the ground, motionless.
The mother picked up the steel needle, preparing to draw blood from her.
The father then picked up the whip.
"cocoa!"
Fan Xiao stormed into the house in a rage and slapped the person three times.
*Slap slap slap*—Father, Mother, and Brother were all sent flying and crashed into the wall.
All three of them suffered head injuries and passed out.
Because it was during the planning stage, he didn't kill anyone, fearing it would offend Yan Keke.
To prevent his parents and younger brother from waking up again, Fan Xiao manipulated his blood to condense into three small blood blades that flew out and pierced into the bodies of the three.
He immediately established a connection with the blood of the three men.
Although the connection is fake, within this fake world, he is able to interfere with and manipulate his parents' blood through tools.
The next second, a strange noise came from the beams of the living room outside.
This time, without Fan Xiao giving any orders, Fan Qiqi had already teleported out and killed the giant-faced monster that had just appeared.
Lu Xining discovered that she could move her body again.
However, just as she was about to get up, Fan Xiao came closer and hugged her.
Fan Xiao placed his right hand on her head, gently stroking her hair, and whispered comfortingly, "It's alright, it's all alright now."
Lu Xining: "..."
On the other side, after killing another large-faced monster, Fan Qiqi felt a slight relief from her frustration.
She teleported back to the room where the five ghosts were enshrined, watching Fan Xiao's actions with curiosity.
"Fan Xiao, I also want to hug Sister Lu, okay?"
Fan Qiqi came closer and started to whine to Fan Xiao, "It's too much of a fuss if you're the only one carrying me. I want to be carried too."
If you also hug her, this heartwarming scene will immediately turn into a horror story. Your sister Lu might be so scared that she jumps up... Fan Xiao thought to himself.
Chapter 136 A Strategy in Two Meanings
Seeing the little angel tugging at his sleeve, Fan Xiao thought for a moment and gestured for her to look at his right hand.
