Chapter 25 Headless General

At the same time, Liu Wendong's situation was exactly the same as Shen Wei's. When he came back to his senses, he was alone, with no one else around.

"Yu Wenqiu, Shen Wei, where are you?"

Hearing no response, Liu Wendong's heart sank.

Helpless, he had no choice but to carefully observe the rules on the notice board, trying to find some clues from them.

He did gain something. He realized that the three of them had violated the rules, attracting the attention of the exhibits.

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly noticed strange changes around him. Black mist suddenly filled the exhibition hall, which was full of glass display cases. At the same time, a crisp sound of hooves echoed in the black mist.

Liu Wendong's pupils shrank, and he muttered inwardly that things were bad. He slowly drew out the broadsword with the skull hilt from his back.

The black mist dissipated, and a neighing skeletal warhorse appeared in front of him. A headless general, clad in heavy armor and wielding a large saber, sat upright on the skeletal warhorse.

Black mist rose from the headless general's neck. He pointed at Liu Wendong with the large saber in his hand, and Liu Wendong was immediately struck by lightning, sweating profusely…

Two red lights instantly lit up in the skeletal warhorse's eyes. It snorted impatiently, spraying out streams of black mist. The black mist gave people a deep sense of oppression and despair.

"He's not thinking of exchanging blows with me, is he? Damn it! He looks serious?"

"This isn't fair. He's cavalry with a horse, and I'm infantry without one. The powerful kinetic impact, coupled with this monster's special abilities, and my chances are slim…"

Liu Wendong's head was now twice its normal size. However, after the initial fear, he quickly calmed down. After all, he wasn't a newbie, but a veteran who had experienced three or four Rule Anomaly events.

"It's just one blow, maybe I can withstand it with my saber! Damn it, Liu Wendong, I can't die here!"

Thinking of this, Liu Wendong's eyes instantly turned fierce and violent. With a "tearing" sound, he tore a long strip of cloth from his clothes. Then, he tightly wrapped the hilt and his hand holding the saber together, biting the knot tight with his teeth!

It must be said that Liu Wendong was brave and ruthless! He even extended his left hand and beckoned at the headless general!

The headless general seemed to be enraged by Liu Wendong's provocation. He flourished the large saber in his hand, then sharply pulled the skeletal warhorse's reins.

The skeletal warhorse's front hooves rose into the air, emitting an angry roar, while the red light in its eyes intensified. The headless general patted the skeletal warhorse's rump with the blade of his saber, and then they merged as one, charging towards Liu Wendong like a sharp sword.

"Come on, come on, I don't believe I can't withstand even one blow from you…"

Liu Wendong's eyes revealed a bloodthirsty look. The skeletal general arrived in an instant, delivering a simple yet swift Mount Tai pressure attack towards Liu Wendong.

Liu Wendong wielded the broadsword with the skull hilt, preparing to withstand this blow head-on.

"Take fifty years of my life, yaksha (a type of demon), block him for me…"

A blue-faced, fanged, and extremely ugly black shadow suddenly rushed out from Liu Wendong's saber! As soon as this black shadow appeared, it went straight for the headless general's large saber.

The terrifying yaksha directly clasped its hands together, attempting to catch the blade with its bare hands.

However, it completely underestimated the power of the headless ghost general. Endless black mist emerged from his large saber. Then, with a single strike, he split the yaksha in two, and the force of the blow did not diminish, also severing Liu Wendong's skull broadsword.

After the terrifying blow, the headless ghost general rode the skeletal warhorse and disappeared into the black mist without looking back.

The shattered blade of Liu Wendong's broadsword flew far away, embedding itself in the ground.

He himself stood frozen in place, as if he had been subjected to a body-fixing spell. A thin red line appeared from his forehead to his crotch, and the light in his eyes gradually faded.

"Damn it, I shouldn't have blocked it. This level tests the courage to seek life from death. I made a mistake, violated Rule One…"

Before he could finish speaking, Liu Wendong's voice stopped abruptly.

At the same time, Yu Wenqiu, looking nervous, was walking and hiding among the various display cases. Because she always felt that something was following her. But every time she looked back, there was nothing there. But this did not relax her nerves, instead, a feeling of palpitations constantly lingered in her heart.

"The lights are flashing again. According to Rule Four, an exhibit must be targeting me. Does it want to play a game with me? What game? Cat and mouse?"

"It seems I have to use that thing…"

Thinking of this, Yu Wenqiu carefully took out a music box from her pocket! She wound the spring on the music box, and then the strange female doll on the music box, which was shedding tears of blood, began to dance to the music.

Seeing this scene, Yu Wenqiu's inner tension eased slightly, but her complexion became even paler.

"Let's play a game of hide-and-seek! If you can find me before the hourglass runs out, you can live."

A strange voice echoed in the empty, terrifying exhibition hall.

At the same time, Yu Wenqiu suddenly saw a small hourglass appear at her feet, and the sand in the hourglass was constantly flowing.

"What's going on? The music box didn't work? Seven or eight years of my life, wasted? These strange artifacts are simply bone-sucking demons…"

Yu Wenqiu picked up the small hourglass, cursing inwardly.

"Where the hell is this thing? What's certain is that it should be nearby, but where exactly? This inhuman (ancient) exhibition area isn't that big, but it's not small either. If it's hiding in the illuminated area, then I have a chance of survival. If it cheats and hides in the dark area without lights, then I'm sure to die. What should I do?..."

Yu Wenqiu ran quickly between the various display cases, searching as she thought, but she always found nothing. Time passed by, and Yu Wenqiu's forehead was covered with fine beads of cold sweat.

"Rule Anomaly events don't have certain death endings. Rule Four tells me to play a game with it, and playing a game must have game rules that limit it. Although I don't know what rules limit it, it must be hiding near me…"

Just as Yu Wenqiu was analyzing a way out, the strange voice sounded again.

"I can give you a hint, I'm on the second floor of the Inhuman (Ancient) Exhibition Hall. You'll have to find out the specific location yourself, hehehe…"

The strange voice seemed to ring in Yu Wenqiu's ear, making her wonder if the strange "it" was invisibly hiding in front of her.
