When that mysterious figure slowly emerged from the darkness of the woods, Zhang Rui felt an unprecedented fear. The presence before him was not only beyond reason, but it also seemed like the embodiment of the deepest nightmare. The headless body moved, each step accompanied by a chillingly heavy sound, as if each footfall was striking at Zhang Rui's inner panic.
On the headless chest, the two eyes that replaced its gaze at Zhang Rui, shimmering with an ominous green light in the moonlight, like two indifferent stones from the abyss, as if they could penetrate his soul at any moment. This unusual sight sent shivers down Zhang Rui's spine, making him feel as if he were under some form of invisible surveillance.
The most unsettling thing for Zhang Rui was the enormous mouth located in the abdomen. The mouth was disproportionately large, like a black hole that could swallow everything at any moment. Its teeth were uneven and sharp, as if they were cracks torn open from a nightmare. As it slowly opened and closed, the chewing sound made Zhang Rui's heart race, as if each chew foretold something ominous.
Zhang Rui's palms were sweating, his heart pounding fiercely, each beat reminding him of the danger and fear before him. He knew he couldn't show any weakness because in the rules of the Shadow Realm, fear only brought greater danger. He tightly held the fireball in his hand, his gaze firm and alert, ready to face this unprecedented challenge. Despite the fear spreading within him, Zhang Rui knew that this was his moment to prove himself, to prove that he was not just an outsider in this mysterious world. He took a deep breath, gazing at the terrifying headless, preparing for battle.
The headless movement was smooth and dangerous, the axe in his hand flipping in the air, capturing the moonlight and reflecting a shimmering cold light. With his movements, the entire forest seemed to fall into a strange silence, as if even the sound of the wind and the chirping of insects had stopped at that moment.
Suddenly, the giant mouth located in the abdomen slowly opened, emitting a deep and mocking taunt: "What a rare guest! In this forest... a tasty boy has actually come..." The voice flowed out from that mouth, like a low whisper from the depths of hell, full of evil and thirst. Every word from that mouth seemed to carry malice and threat, causing Zhang Rui's heart to accelerate involuntarily.
Zhang Rui felt a chill running up his spine, his palms soaked with sweat as he firmly held onto the fireball. In this moment of life and death, Zhang Rui's intuition told him that any display of fear could become a fatal weakness. So, he focused all his attention on the fireball in his hand, gradually enlarging it under his control. The blazing flames resembled a small sun in the night, emitting a dazzling light.
Zhang Rui tensed his nerves, forcing a brave smile at the corner of his mouth, trying to stay calm in this desperate situation. He knew clearly that facing such an unknown and terrifying enemy, he needed to maintain the highest level of vigilance and combat readiness.
Zhang Rui took a deep breath, summoned all his courage, and his voice echoed steadily and firmly in the forest: "Hey! headless person, I haven't done anything, why are you attacking me!"
The sound reverberated in the forest, as if challenging this mysterious and terrifying domain. Zhang Rui had a determined look in his eyes as he gazed at the terrifying figure. He held a blazing fireball in his hand, emitting flickering flames that illuminated the surrounding darkness.
The man suddenly stopped his forward steps, and the large mouth on his stomach contorted into an injured expression, emitting a deep and mocking laughter: "Hehehe! Little child, I am not a simple headless person, I am Xingtian, you know? I battled the Yellow Emperor, withstood the attack of the Xuan-Yuan Sword, and I am a resurrected strongman."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Rui couldn't help but be surprised. The person in front of him was actually the legendary Xingtian? A figure of great importance in ancient mythology. Zhang Rui's heart raced, and at the same time, he felt somewhat incredulous. Could this Shadow Realm really have so many creatures and characters from myth and legend? A nearly invincible figure in ancient mythology. He remembered that Xingtian was a warrior who fought against the Yellow Emperor. Legend has it that after an intense battle with the Yellow Emperor, Xingtian was beheaded, but he remained undaunted, with his eyes and mouth growing on his chest, continuing the fight. This story had always been a distant legend for Zhang Rui, and now it had unexpectedly become a reality before his eyes.
Xingtian's existence made Zhang Rui realize the unfathomable depth of the Shadow Realm. The headless warrior in front of him not only embodied the strangeness and profundity of ancient mythology, but also demonstrated the vast difference between the Shadow Realm and the world he knew. Zhang Rui felt a wave of panic in his heart, trying to control his breathing and stabilize his emotions.
Xingtian's voice echoed in the forest, deep and threatening. His words were simple and straightforward, revealing a kind of barbarism and directness: "I'm attacking you for a simple reason. In this Shadow Realm, I lead a band of robbers. We live in this ruthless forest, making a living by plundering. My boys, they're hungry, they need food, they need prey. So, young man, your choice is simple. Either hand over everything valuable on you, or become our food and let us feast."
His belly opened wide, revealing sharp teeth, seemingly foreshadowing an imminent threat. Behind Xingtian, faint figures could be seen wandering among the trees, perhaps the "little brothers" he mentioned. Their presence heightened the tension in the atmosphere.
Zhang Rui stood there, feeling the warmth of the fireball in his hand. His heart raced, but he tried to remain calm. This sudden threat made him realize that the rules of survival in the Shadow Realm were far more brutal than he had imagined. In this world, the law of the jungle prevailed, and every moment was filled with danger and challenge.
