Having witnessed the Red-robed Ghost instantly kill Diamond, the four of them—Half Dream, Half Wake, Half Life—were utterly shocked.

In their eyes, Diamond was a Boss they couldn't handle. But what happened? In the blink of an eye, the Red-robed Ghost easily killed it! Who could have foreseen things turning out this way?

"Run!"

Someone suddenly shouted, and the four of them took to their heels without any intention of looking back, even starting to fly in their sheer panic.

They couldn't afford to slow down, not by a step, or they'd be dead!

If they were wiped out here, the Sect Leader would surely punish them when they got back.

Although their escape direction was slightly off, they generally headed towards the Wilderness, daring not to look back in the slightest. They were terrified that if they turned around, they'd see the Red-robed Ghost following right behind them. And indeed, the Red-robed Ghost was behind them, not far away.

In the Wilderness, Dung Beetle was also keeping watch, having long been waiting for the others to arrive. As time ticked by, he quickly spotted several figures flying toward the Wilderness. Their speed was extreme—even faster and more desperate than when Dung Beetle himself had fled for his life. What's going on?

"Someone's coming!" Dung Beetle said, turning his head.

King of Spraying King Pen Duanchang climbed onto the Nut Wall and squinted in that direction. Frowning, he said, "They're too far away. I can't see clearly who they are."

Four people? According to the information he had, Half-Leaf and company were supposed to be a group of three. Either these four weren't Half-Leaf's group, or Half-Leaf's trio had encountered other players along the way. But judging by their current state, it seemed they had encountered something extremely terrifying. What on earth could it be that made them so panic-stricken?

As the four drew closer, Dung Beetle couldn't help but gape in amazement. "Damn, it really is Half-Leaf and his group!"

However, looking behind them, there didn't seem to be anything chasing them. Why were all four running so fast?

"Dung Beetle, quickly check if there's a Red-robed Ghost chasing us!"

Half-Leaf also spotted them. Seeing Dung Beetle with King of Spraying King Pen Duanchang, he shouted frantically.

Dung Beetle looked confused for Half a Moment before responding, "There's nothing there? What's a Red-robed Ghost? Are there ghosts in this Dungeon?"

Not just him; even King of Spraying King Pen Duanchang beside him was stunned. What was all this about? This was supposed to be a Xianxia game, and now they throw in a Red-robed Ghost? Is this Dungeon's gameplay always this varied?

The four of them flew behind the Nut Wall and collapsed to the ground, gasping for air. Seeing Wanwan and Da Lang Doesn't Drink Medicine also here, they were somewhat surprised. So, King of Spraying King Pen Duanchang had already gathered this many people here?

Half a Moment later, Dung Beetle narrowed his eyes and asked, "How did the four of you end up together? And what's this about a Red-robed Ghost? I didn't see anything behind you."

Hearing this, the four showed expressions of sheer terror.

"Don't even mention it! We've suffered terribly all the way here. If I'd known it would turn out like this, I would've rather died than go with Chili Pepper."

"Extra Large Chili Pepper is toxic! The three of us were safe and sound, but as soon as we ran into him, we were chased by a big Boss, and then we encountered an even bigger Boss!"

"We were first chased by Diamond, then Diamond was instantly killed by the Red-robed Ghost, and then we were chased by the Red-robed Ghost."

"This whole journey has been one harrowing escape after another! I see clearly now—this game isn't just about the usual stuff; it throws horror scenarios at you too!"

"..."

The four of them explained, each adding a piece to the story.

Dung Beetle and the others were astonished. They had never imagined the four newcomers' plight had been so dire. After all, Dung Beetle had only encountered a Centipede Swarm, not a Boss chasing him. Wanwan and Da Lang Doesn't Drink Medicine had also only encountered black fog, not any Boss. But now, these four had directly faced a Boss.

A Boss that forced even those four to flee for their lives... if it caught up, wouldn't everyone present likely get team-wiped? The Players' strongest combatants hadn't arrived yet. This could be trouble.

Dung Beetle looked at the situation Outside again. Apart from the Disciples of the Cyan Lotus Sword Sect, there didn't seem to be any other figures... Wait! What the hell was that flash of red in the distant Dense Forest?

"Hey, the Red-robed Ghost you encountered was wearing red clothes, right?" Dung Beetle asked, swallowing hard.

"What a stupid question! Would a Red-robed Ghost wear green instead of red?" King of Spraying King Pen Duanchang couldn't help but curse.

But the next moment, they saw Dung Beetle turn pale and jump down from the Nut Wall, leaning against it as he stared at them. Even from such a distance, that single glance had sent chills down his spine.

That flash of red he'd just seen was definitely the Red-robed Ghost that Half Dream, Half Wake, Half Life had talked about. What was the origin of this Red-robed Ghost? He'd never felt such dread, not even when facing the Demon Emperor! Damn it. This wasn't just a big Boss; this was basically a god-tier Demonic Creature!

"What's wrong? Why do you look so awful?" King of Spraying King Pen Duanchang asked, looking at him incredulously.

It took Dung Beetle a long moment before he could speak. "I just saw the Red-robed Ghost they were talking about. That thing... it's even more terrifying than the Demon Emperor!"
