Three teammates turned to look at Brother Jue, then followed his gaze and looked up at the ceiling.

Accompanied by a strange whistling sound approaching from afar, a point of bright red and a gleam of silver suddenly appeared in the painting on the ceiling, these two colors expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye…

Seconds later, two figures burst through the ceiling, falling like shooting stars straight down towards the swamp.

Boom—

The impact stirred up a huge "mud wave" that swept across the entire sixth floor.

Due to the limited foothold and nowhere to hide, the players dozens of meters away from the impact site could only steady themselves, standing in place to avoid falling into the swamp.

Splashed with mud, Feng Bujue wiped his face, and the next second, he saw an astonishing scene.

At the center of the impact, a figure was suspended.

Her hood and shawl were as red as blood. Under her shawl, she wore a tight-fitting linen suit. Across her chest was a leather shoulder strap, around her waist a python leather belt, and on her feet, deerskin boots.

Matching this outfit were short swords, a spiked mace, and throwing knives gleaming with a chilling light…

Little Red Riding Hood floated in mid-air with a cold expression.

She looked twelve or thirteen years old, with a pale complexion. An invisible force bloomed from her body, forming a perfect circular force field, causing the surface of the swamp beneath her feet to concave in a semi-circle.

Normally, her appearance and state alone would have been enough to make Honghu's jaw drop, and for Brother Jue, Ji Chang, and Qiufeng to throw their eyeballs on the ground.

But there was something even more exaggerated…

At this moment, Little Red Riding Hood was using her seemingly slender and weak arm to single-handedly lift the Tin Man's remains.

The Tin Man's limbs had all been severed, most of his head had been削去 (xiao qu - shaved off), and countless dents and cracks had been punched into his tin body.

On the swamp surface around the impact point, some tin fragments could still be seen slowly sinking. Feng Bujue even found among those fragments a section that might have been an ax handle, a tin hand, and a piece of scrap metal that looked like a tank tread, the meaning of which was unclear… Anyway, half a minute later, all these fragments sank into the swamp and disappeared.

"I say… little friend…" Feng Bujue tried to strike up a conversation.

"Who are you calling? Scum." Little Red Riding Hood actually started cursing, and her tone was very aggressive, giving the impression that Feng Bujue was asking for it…

As she spoke, she easily raised her left arm and flung the Tin Man's heavy body up.

In a flash, the short sword at Little Red Riding Hood's waist was already unsheathed, a cold light flashing… before the players could understand what was happening, the Tin Man's torso had fallen into the swamp, and Little Red Riding Hood's short sword was impaled with a dripping heart.

"You actually dared to talk to me." Little Red Riding Hood said, slowly landing from mid-air, radiating murderous intent, "Looking for death?"

"Great King, spare my life!" Feng Bujue immediately knelt down to her, raised his arms, and kowtowed like a Buddhist.

"What cheap kneeling…" Qiufeng said.

Ji Chang also said, "Yes, as a man, to submit to force so easily…"

Honghu continued, "Too lacking in integrity."

Little Red Riding Hood looked down at the top of Feng Bujue's head for a few seconds, snorted coldly, and then shifted her gaze, sweeping across the faces of the other three: "To actually look at me with condescending eyes, so presumptuous…"

Pfft, pfft, pfft.

Three more men surrendered their knees.

"I'm sorry…"

"Please let us go!"

"Spare our lives…"

Feng Bujue then whispered to his teammates, "Now you know how cheap you are…"

"This is called 'a wise man doesn't fight when the odds are against him.'" Qiufeng replied.

Ji Chang, with a painful expression, interjected, "Actually, there's no point in arguing, the fact that Brother Feng's words weren't censored by the system means that the system also thinks we're a bit…"

"Whispering, are you talking about me?" Little Red Riding Hood approached step by step, her murderous intent undiminished.

"How dare we, how dare we…" Feng Bujue replied, "We are reflecting on our actions."

"Hmph…" Little Red Riding Hood's tone was extremely disdainful, "Reflecting on what? A bunch of ignorant trash." She seemed to have a nameless fire, with nowhere to vent, "You really think that werewolf is my pet?"

Honghu was shocked to hear this, "How do you kn…"

"I know everything that happens here like the back of my hand." Little Red Riding Hood interrupted, "That werewolf is full of lies, very cunning, and you…" She stepped on Feng Bujue's head, "Especially you… scum, what did you say to him?" she said fiercely, "He's already gnawing on Don Quixote's corpse in the cafeteria, and after he's finished, he'll go to Little Jack's house…"

"What!" This situation greatly exceeded Feng Bujue's expectations.

"The creatures in this space get stronger every time they kill or devour another creature. Killing allows them to gain new abilities, and also makes them more evil and belligerent." Little Red Riding Hood said, raising her blade and throwing the heart on the tip of the knife into the swamp, "After killing the Witch and the Lion, the Tin Man had already gained considerable enhancement. But cutting off Don Quixote's head gave him qualitative growth, causing him to grow a pair of iron wings." Her expression changed slightly, "At this point, the Tin Man developed the intention of challenging the 'Boss'. He flew into the fifth floor, then broke into the sixth floor… forcing me to strike and annihilate him."

Speaking to this point, Little Red Riding Hood removed her foot from Feng Bujue's head, and then grabbed Brother Jue's collar with one hand and lifted him up. However, because Little Red Riding Hood was only about five feet tall, Brother Jue's feet did not leave the ground when she did this.

"I didn't expect you bunch of idiots to cause new trouble while I was away." Little Red Riding Hood said, "I just placed that werewolf at the entrance to the fifth floor as a gatekeeper, to let him eat those monsters trying to go to the fifth floor." Her gaze swept over the remaining three players, "Because you are people invited by the Boss, he didn't dare do anything to you, so he let you pass. Hmph… but you said some unnecessary things."

"Originally, after I finished things here, I would just go back and cut down the beanstalk. But now… I have to personally pursue the monster again, and a very cunning one at that." Little Red Riding Hood said, swinging her arm and throwing Feng Bujue backwards, seemingly to vent her anger.

Feng Bujue was sent flying by a huge force, rushing straight towards the stone steps on the wall in the distance. He knew that if he hit it hard, he could die. But someone with Soul Power naturally had room to recover.

He struggled to twist his body in mid-air, making an extremely strange movement. He opened his arms to cushion the impact, stepped on the air to release the force, successfully slowed down his body before hitting the wall, and waded on the swamp surface like paddling, removing part of the force, before finally hitting the stone steps.

But because Little Red Riding Hood's strength was truly astonishing, even though Feng Bujue used all his skills, he still lost 42% of his Survival Value.
