Zheng Sheng has been in this world for almost three months.

The only survival route I've encountered so far is a winding rural road. It's not very wide, and there's no choice but to go either forward or backward.

The survival highway will only branch off into multiple directions each time you pass through a city.

Moreover, it seems that the larger the city and the greater the population, the more forks in the road to survival there are.

For example, compared to Sanqiao County, Shaluo County, with a population of one million, has more survival roads, with as many as a dozen leading in all directions.

But apart from passing through cities, Zheng Sheng had never seen an intersection on the road to survival.

Even Chen Kun had never mentioned it before.

"Captain, something's definitely fishy!" Luo Hao said nervously.

"There seems to be a dark shadow crouching near that intersection; it might be a very terrifying monster!"

"Perhaps these extra roads were created by the other side to lure us into the fog on either side of the road!"

As soon as Luo Hao said this, the atmosphere in the entire team became tense, and even Zheng Sheng drew his Demon-Slaying Blade from his waist with a solemn expression.

And it's no wonder he was nervous; it's mainly because he'd never seen Xiao Heizi perform like this before.

The little black cat was sniffing frantically, its face full of vigilance, its black fur standing on end, and its claws digging deep into the road, as if it had encountered some powerful nemesis!

"Little Blackie, what level of anomaly is it?" Zheng Sheng asked.

Recently, Xiao Heizi has been studying with Zhang Qing every day and has already learned quite a few characters.

It stared intently ahead with a solemn expression, not daring to relax its gaze for a moment, while its paws wrote a row of crooked words on the ground:

[Don't be skeptical, because being a beggar is very risky!]

Zheng Sheng looked at the words Xiao Heizi had written and his lips twitched. What did this guy learn? How come there are so many typos?

Although there were typos everywhere, Zheng Sheng roughly understood that Xiao Heizi meant that it didn't know what level it was, and that not only was the smell dangerous!

"Even Little Blackie says it's dangerous, so it must be a big one!"

Zheng Sheng looked serious, already prepared for battle.

"Fatty, go to the back of the group and tell Kong Hai to tell everyone to be ready to run at any time. Also, call Jin Tongzi and Zhang Mu over here."

"Uncle Niu, let's go ahead and scout the way together later."

In fact, he disliked this feeling very much. Faced with unknown dangers, he preferred to stay at the back of the group, let others explore the way, and observe the situation quietly.

If things don't look right, retreat immediately.

Just like when they first started following Chen Kun and his two companions.

But the reality is that, apart from him, there's no one else in the team who can handle things. If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up, and he is that tall person.

Fortunately, there were paper figures.

He decided to use a spirit paper doll to go ahead and scout out the situation.

Soon, Jin Tongzi and Zhang Mu arrived at the front of the group, while Zheng Sheng, along with his group and Xiao Heizi, left the group alone.

Zheng Sheng pulled out a delicate and small paper figure from his pocket. Unlike the Yang Blood Paper Soldiers, which were as thin as paper, the spirit paper figure in his hand was more like a paper doll made of peach paper. It was small, exquisite, and lifelike, like a delicate little baby sleeping.

He muttered to himself.

"White paper for the skin, peach wood for the bones."

"It's easy to draw the skin and flesh, but hard to draw the bones; you can know the root and the bottom, but not the heart."

"Today, I borrow a bit of the sun's spirit to temporarily open half a window of the heavenly gate."

"Six of the seven orifices are sealed, leaving only this command to be obeyed!"

"rise!!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the paper doll in his palm slowly stood up, covered with a large amount of purple electricity, and began to float slowly into the air.

In the blink of an eye, the spirit paper figure grew in the wind and transformed into a majestic armored soldier wearing golden armor and holding a black sword. He looked seven or eight parts similar to Zheng Sheng, like a heavenly soldier descending from the sky, with purple lightning and black fire surrounding him.

"Uncle Niu, you stay here and act as you see fit!"

Although Uncle Niu and his companions weren't particularly strong, they were still among the strongest members of the team, so bringing them along was just in case.

Secondly, he had more faith in Xiao Heizi's abilities than in the other three.

Zheng Sheng then looked at Xiao Heizi.

"Little Blackie, you stay here and watch over me. If anything seems wrong, call out immediately!"

After explaining to Xiao Heizi, Zheng Sheng quickly closed his eyes, his consciousness sinking into the spirit paper doll's body, and began to control the spirit paper doll to run wildly on the highway.

After a while.

The psychic paper doll controlled by Zheng Sheng had reached the vicinity of the crossroads, but nothing happened.

Zheng Sheng frowned, looked around warily, and finally saw the dark figure at the crossroads.

His face showed utter surprise!

"What a huge tabby cat!"

Zheng Sheng looked at the intersection with a surprised expression.

On the side of the road at the crossroads, a huge tabby cat was sitting, looking like a giant black-spotted tiger from a distance, watching him warily.

Beside the giant tabby cat, a short-haired girl wearing a black ruffled collar was fast asleep, leaning against the cat.

The girl was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with fair skin, short curly brown hair covering her forehead, slightly drooping eyebrows and eyes, and vintage gold earrings. She was noble and serene, and even when she was asleep, she had a melancholy air about her.

"Meow~"

A meow like a tiger's hoot rang out, quickly waking the sleeping girl.

"Mimi, is someone here?"

The girl opened her eyes, turned to look at Zheng Sheng, her gaze revealing a hint of coldness and weariness, and an indescribable sense of world-weariness.

"They're actually people?" Zheng Sheng looked at the short-haired girl and the giant cat in front of him with a surprised expression.

"Who are you?" Zheng Sheng asked suddenly, controlling the spirit paper figure.

The giant cat girl also looked at the glittering paper doll in front of her with curiosity, clearly sensing that it was actually a lifelike puppet.

"Yes, I'm human. You can call me Kitty," the girl said softly. "This is my good friend Mimi. It's nice to meet you."

As the girl spoke, she slowly rose and gracefully nodded to the paper doll, displaying impeccable manners.

"Human? Cat?" Zheng Sheng controlled the spirit paper doll to look the girl in front of him up and down, his eyes narrowing.

The shadowy figures at the crossroads weren't eerie at all, but rather a giant cat and a melancholy girl who claimed to be human.

This is clearly abnormal!

Zheng Sheng remained vigilant; the situation was far too bizarre.

The deserted road to survival is surrounded by eeriness and horror. Suddenly, a girl is found sleeping alone by the roadside, and something seems very wrong.

Just like when Tang Sanzang encountered a lone woman on a mountain path full of monsters, she was probably the White Bone Demon in disguise.

"System, how many survival points do I need to add to her?"

[Ding, consume 1 survival points to strengthen Awakened Wang Lu?]

1 survival points? Awakened Wang Lu?

"You're actually human!"

Zheng Sheng looked surprised.

Why is a girl alone on a highway with a cat?

Where are the others? Are they all dead?!
