All-out Horror Survival: My Awakening Skill Point Allocation Sequence!

Zhou Xun suddenly dodged backward.

A black knife flashed, instantly slicing a large gash through his clothes and flesh.

"This paper figure even knows knife skills, and they're absolutely perfect! Amazing!"

Zhou Xun could sense that he was stronger and faster than the paper figure, but he was completely suppressed by the opponent in terms of combat skills!

"This swordsmanship has been honed for at least several decades, why would it appear on a summoned creature?!"

far away.

Zheng Sheng watched Zhou Xun fighting with the paper doll, his face expressionless but cold.

But inwardly, he nodded slightly.

This person is quite strong; he can actually fight his paper doll to a standstill.

"However, the Yang Blood Paper Soldiers are clearly stronger at killing monsters, but they are still far too weak when fighting humans."

Each of these Yang Blood Paper Soldiers was crafted to its limit, fed with a considerable amount of Purple Thunder Yang Blood and Demon-Subduing Black Dog Blood, and possessed approximately 30% of his own strength.

But whether it's Purple Thunder Yang Blood or Demon-Subduing Black Dog Blood, they are merely nemesis of the supernatural, and have no effect on humans...

Purple Thunder Yang Blood is alright; it can unleash purple thunder and cause decent damage. However, Demon Subduing Black Dog Blood has almost no effect on humans; its only use is probably to break spells.

"Judging from the way they addressed each other just now, this should be the vice-captain of the Ember Squad. If the vice-captain has this strength, the captain should be even stronger."

"However, its strength is probably limited; we can still make contact..."

Zheng Sheng nodded inwardly. After learning about the situation of the Yu Huo Squad from Liao Changguo, he actually wanted to make contact with them.

Since they've come back from the provincial highway, they can inquire about information regarding the provincial highway and the City of Hope.

However, if the difference in strength between the two sides is too great, and the other side is too strong, he will not consider it, lest he become the fish on the chopping block.

However, it seems that I can handle the strength of the Ember Squad.

Seeing that the battle between the two sides was almost over, Zheng Sheng did not push his luck and instead had the paper figures hold back, giving the other side a way out.

With a single thrust of his spear, Zhou Xun forced the paper figure to retreat, and the burly paper figure quickly began to shrink.

Finally, as if its energy had been exhausted, it quickly turned into a palm-sized paper figure covered with scriptures, which flew into Zheng Sheng's hand.

"Great! Team Leader Zhou won!"

The members of the Ember Squad were overjoyed!

"I knew it! How could this paper figure fight for so long? Looks like it's run out of energy!"

"But this paper figure is really amazing. Its swordsmanship is flawless. The last time I saw someone with such strong swordsmanship was an Awakened [Martial Artist]!"

Zhou Xun, gripping his spear, knelt on one knee, panting heavily. The mask covering his face slowly fell away, finally revealing a smile.

"That paper doll is amazing! I almost lost!"

As the Sichuan-style mask fell off, Zhou Xun's costume also began to slowly dissipate, his figure shrank, and he once again became that thin, bespectacled, and refined man.

"Hmm, they do have some ability."

Suddenly, Zheng Sheng's voice came from afar, seemingly giving Zhou Xun a reluctant approval.

"What's your name?"

Zhou Xun was taken aback, then quickly replied.

"Zhou Xun, deputy captain of the Yu Huo Squad, second-tier [Face Changer] sequence, sequence level B."

Zheng Sheng slowly rose from the boulder and led Xiao Heizi to Zhou Xun and the others.

"Face-changing sequence? Grade B sequence?" Zheng Sheng looked at the Sichuan-style mask in Zhou Xun's hand with some surprise.

"Were you a face-changing performer before?"

Zhou Xun nodded, "Three generations of my family have been learning face-changing. I started learning when I was a child and am a national-level representative inheritor of the intangible cultural heritage of face-changing."

As Zhou Xun spoke, he put on the Sichuan-style mask again, the mask constantly changing color.

White face, red face, black face, green face, gold face...

With each change of expression, Zhou Xun's physique and costume would change accordingly, and his overall demeanor would also undergo a significant transformation.

It seems that every face represents a different ability!

"What should I call this captain?" Zhou Xun asked cautiously, removing his mask.

Zheng Sheng's appearance was so deceptive that Zhou Xun was nervous just by seeing him standing in front of him.

"Zheng Sheng".

After exchanging greetings, the atmosphere eased considerably, and they quickly began chatting. Zhou Xun also discovered that Zheng Sheng was actually quite easy to get along with, much better than he had expected.

"Captain Zheng, about the alliance..."

Zheng Sheng waved his hand.

"No rush, let me ask you a few questions first, and then we'll talk."

Zheng Sheng quickly asked some questions about the City of Hope, but Zhou Xun knew very little about it.

All he knew was that nine cities of hope had been built along the provincial and national highways, and the one closest to them was the seventh city of hope, Xindu.

"Captain Zheng, we have the coordinates for Xindu. Just follow the coordinates to reach Xindu. If you need, I have more here."

"No need, I have the coordinates of Xindu." Zheng Sheng shook his head, clearly indicating that the coordinates of Xindu were not a rare item on the provincial highway.

Zheng Sheng suddenly asked again.

"I heard you came back from the provincial highway, why?"

After their conversation, he had a general idea of ​​the strength of the entire Ember Squad.

The Ember Squad has a total of thirteen second-order Sequence Awakeners, more than thirty first-order Sequence Awakeners, and more than 4000 survivors.

There is one A-level sequence, two B-level sequences, and the rest are low-level sequences.

The eleven people Zhou Xun brought with him this time were almost all the core combat personnel of the entire Yu Huo squad.

While a team like the Yu Huo Squad isn't considered particularly strong on the provincial highway, it's not weak either.

There must be a reason why the other party suddenly returned to the province!

Zhou Xun looked at Zheng Sheng, hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke slowly.

"Why……"

"Three months ago, the Great Black Tide descended, and numerous human cities appeared on the Survival Highway, causing a surge in the number of human survivors."

"This has led to a dramatic increase in the number of bizarre phenomena, and because some cities are so densely populated, a large number of dead zones with tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of people have appeared."

"The provincial highway has now become extremely dangerous!"

"The reason we retreated from the provincial highway is because our captain was injured by a powerful monster, so we came back temporarily to recover from his injuries before entering this forest."

"As it turned out, although this forest was well-supplied, it was a one-way street, so we ended up trapped here."

"Oh, really?" Zheng Sheng looked at Zhou Xun scrutinizingly, his brows furrowing slightly.

"You can only go in, not out... Why can't you go out?"

Zhou Xun shook his head. He didn't know the specific reason, only some guesses.

"This forest seems to have become its own world, with its own unique rules, somewhat like a ghost realm."

"There were no obstacles when you came in, but if you want to leave, you'll just have to come back!"

"The only person who can probably get out of this forest is Grandpa Sheep!"

Zheng Sheng frowned after hearing this, muttering to himself, "Only in, not out..."

These words made him uneasy; he felt they had some other meaning.

"Captain Zheng," Zhou Xun said again, his tone sincere.

"Our captain should be fully recovered in the next few days, and his strength will increase significantly after that!"

"If we cooperate, once the captain wakes up, the two of you working together will definitely have a chance to escape this forest!"

"I'll think about it," Zheng Sheng said, not immediately agreeing.

After exchanging words for a few more moments, Zhou Xun prepared to leave.

Before leaving, he reminded Zheng Sheng again.

"Captain Zheng, the Divine Tree Cult and Grandpa Sheep of Beast City are both extremely dangerous. Don't believe a word they say!"

"Especially the golden apples from the sacred tree!"

"That thing is very likely a terrifying monster!"
