He immediately turned and ran away.

After kicking one person to the ground, Cao Lihao stopped harassing him and ran away.

The awakened villagers rushed towards the mountain god temple, but by then the temple was already completely engulfed in flames.

The remaining few people also ran away without looking back.

The villagers nearby seemed to have gone mad. Seeing that the fire could not be extinguished, they roared and rushed toward the culprit.

"........."

Further away, there was the shrine that the villagers had been carefully carrying.

Suddenly, a huge crack appeared from head to toe in the shrine, as if it had been torn apart by some powerful force.

The crack instantly spread throughout the entire shrine, making it appear precarious.

Immediately afterwards, a piercing wail came from the shrine.

It pierced the sky and echoed throughout the entire village.

The sound was indescribably terrifying, sending chills down one's spine and making one's heart race.

It sounded like the screams of demons from the depths of hell, or like the agonizing cries of countless wronged souls.

The sound filled Lu Jing and the others with immense fear and despair, as if the end of the world was about to come.

The monkey was so frightened that it collapsed to the ground, and Fan Zhiyu also stumbled.

Lu Jing felt as if all the strength had been drained from his body, his mind went blank, he couldn't think of anything, and he collapsed to the ground.

He struggled to get up, but he had no strength at all.

Cao Lihao struggled to take a few steps, but without exception, he collapsed to the ground.

"Holy crap! What's going on?"

“It’s a fake mountain god,” Lu Jing said. “It’s coming to take revenge on us.”

"Didn't we already burn down the mountain god temple?" Fan Zhiyu said.

"That's precisely why it's so furious and determined not to let us off the hook!!"

“Isn’t this a dead end?” Cao Lihao said in a deep voice, “Even if the temple is destroyed, this fake mountain god will still exist.”

"That's right, it controls hundreds of villagers. Who knows what other abilities this fake mountain god has? With just one shout, it rendered us all powerless to move."

Even if we burn down the temple, we're still going to die.

The monkey wanted to cry but had no tears.

The village is only this big.

There were over two hundred awakened villagers, plus a fake mountain god whose abilities were unknown.

They have nowhere to run!

"Lu Jing, you have to think of something quickly!"

Fan Zhiyu sensed that the power was rapidly approaching and placed his hopes on Lu Jing.

"Quiet, quiet! I'm thinking!!"

Lu Jing was at his wits' end, his head covered in sweat from anxiety.

Ultimately, he's the youngest among them.

"I am a genius!"

"I am a genius."

"I am God, I cannot die here."

This world cannot continue like this.

No, that's not right. Isn't this what I've always wanted?

That's perfect, it's going exactly as I expected.

I'll kill anything that's alive, even if it's a god!

"The only one who can defeat me is myself..."

The remaining people looked at him with bewildered expressions, completely unaware of what he was saying.

Normally, people would definitely think that Lu Jing has some kind of mental illness.

In reality, this was a tactic Lu Jing used to force himself to calm down.

It's like in a shooting game; the moment you get a powerful weapon, you already imagine yourself as the MVP.

In Soulslike games, acquiring brand-new equipment is like becoming invincible...

At this moment, he imagined himself as the protagonist in various obstacle course games and life-or-death games.

Calm down! You must calm down.

Everyone can panic, even if you're the one who's panicking the most.

You need to stay calm at this time.

Being handsome is a lifelong thing!!!

"I...I've got it!!"

Lu Jing suddenly shouted.

"Mountain God Temple! Mountain God Temple, to the Mountain God Temple!"

"Didn't we burn down the mountain god temple?" the monkey asked, looking puzzled.

He now suspects that Lu Jing may have truly gone mad.

"We burned down the fake mountain god temple; only the real mountain god can protect us!!"

A word to awaken the dreamer.

"Go to the area most severely affected by the earthquake; the real mountain temple should be there!"

"The location near the center of the village!" Cao Lihao immediately realized.

The group struggled to their feet.

"Help!"

"I can't stand up either."

"......"

Only Lu Jing, Cao Lihao, Monkey, Miao Miao, Fan Zhiyu, and Liu Ying were able to stand up.

The remaining three were as if all their strength had been drained away.

He could only lie helplessly on the cold ground, unable to move his body even an inch, no matter how hard he tried.

It felt as if a mysterious and powerful force was suppressing them, pinning them firmly to the spot.

What terrified and spurred them to despair even more was the eerie voice of the artificial mountain spirit.

It seems to possess a strange penetrating power, able to pass directly through their bodies and penetrate deep into their souls.

Each note carried an immense pressure, as if it would crush them completely.

"Help...."

Miao Miao was about to reach out her hand when Cao Lihao stopped her with a look.

At this point, no one can help anyone else.

They could barely stand up, let alone carry another person on their backs.

In the distance, an evil aura is spreading towards this side of the sky.

"run!!!"

The group quickly set off towards the center of the village.

They said they were charging, but they ran extremely slowly.

Normally, it would be this short distance.

The awakened individuals and Cao Lihao, who had been injected with the serum, were able to reach the center of the village in no time.

After all, if they were to run, they would be faster than a car traveling at top speed.

But now, everyone seems to be carrying a huge mountain on their backs, making it difficult to move forward.

Every step requires tremendous effort.

"Help me...don't go!!"

"We are comrades... Mom, save me, I don't want to die."
