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

Since ancient times, lions have been a symbol of auspiciousness, power, and the king of beasts.

Lion dances are also believed to ward off evil spirits, protect the home, and ensure peace.

Lion dancing has been popular in the court since the Tang Dynasty. The "Five Directions Lion Dance" is also known as "Taiping Yue". During the Northern Wei Dynasty, Buddhism flourished. The "Records of Buddhist Temples in Luoyang" records that "evil-repelling lions" often led the way in Buddhist processions. Lion dancing moved out of the court in the Song Dynasty. After the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it gradually formed two major schools in the north and south and combined with martial arts to spread to the folk.

Since then, lion dancing has become a common performance during the Spring Festival, business openings, temple fairs, celebrations, and more.

but.

Lion dancing is not just a performance, but also an ancient ritual for warding off evil spirits, praying for blessings, and protecting the home!

But now, the black lion in front of Zheng Sheng is completely different from the legendary auspicious beast!

Inside the carriage was a huge, eerie lion.

The body was covered in dense, black snakes that formed manes that curled like waves. Its entire body was covered in deformed tumors that created swirling cloud-like patterns. Its white eyes had no pupils and exuded a fierce and menacing aura. Its fangs were slightly exposed, giving off an indescribable evil vibe.

Upon closer inspection, its body appears to be filled with countless people struggling and writhing inside, like a group of undead dancing within it.

On top of the lion's head grew a rotting, white-eyed human head, with disheveled hair and a sinister smile.

He was staring intently at Zheng Sheng and Zhou Xun!

Zheng Sheng looked at the huge, eerie black lion in the carriage and felt a chill run down his spine and his heart pound with fear.

The little black lion behind him also bristled, baring its fangs, and stared nervously at the huge, eerie black lion.

This is eerie, and incredibly powerful!

It felt several times more dangerous than when he first encountered the three fully-formed giant snails!

Zhou Xun stared in shock at the eerie black lion in the carriage. The danger level on his glasses kept jumping, and soon a line of scarlet numbers appeared, dripping blood.

Danger level: [391566]!

In just one day, the captain had been completely assimilated by the strange entity, and his danger level had become a terrifying 39!

The two looked at the two-headed black lion in the cargo box, and the two-headed black lion looked back at them. Suddenly, there was silence between them.

In the end, Zhou Xun suppressed his fear and explained.

"Captain Zheng, before our captain was assimilated by the monster, he made a vow inside this monster, so it won't harm us for the time being."

"I can even make it help us once, but only once. If the oath is used, the next time we encounter it, we will all become its target!"

"This is also our biggest trump card right now!"

Zhou Xun didn't hide anything and told Zheng Sheng everything about the strange black lion.

He wanted to take a gamble.

The captain has been assimilated by the monster, and with the current strength of their Ember Squad, it will probably be difficult for them to escape this forest.

If they can form an alliance with Zheng Sheng, they will have a glimmer of hope. Instead of hiding their true intentions, they should be more honest and gain Zheng Sheng's trust.

Of course, there are risks involved. If Zheng Sheng is not a good person, doing this would undoubtedly expose his weaknesses and be counterproductive.

He had no choice but to gamble that Zheng Sheng was a good person!

"A vow?" Zheng Sheng completely ignored Zhou Xun's little scheme. He quickly grasped the key point in Zhou Xun's words and asked.

"What oath?"

Zhou Xun lowered his head to organize his thoughts and replied, "I don't know the specifics either. I've only heard the captain mention that a method for advancing to the third sequence has been circulating in New Capital, the City of Hope on the 7th."

"This kind of advancement involves finding a strange entity that is very compatible with your own sequence, and then finding a way to assimilate it."

"Let the eerie dwell within your own body!"

"However, this method has a very high failure rate. If one is not strong enough or has a strong enough will, one may not be able to assimilate the monster, but instead be assimilated by it."

"The captain said that if this method in Xindu fails to advance, the monster will not only assimilate the advanced user, but its strength will also increase significantly, and it may even break through the level limit, becoming an even more terrifying and unique monster!"

"Those who advance to the next level can use their obsession to make a vow within the body of the supernatural being before they die. After the supernatural being revives, this vow will become the supernatural being's obsession for a certain period of time!"

As Zhou Xun spoke, he looked sadly at the terrifying black lion inside the truck.

"Our captain has made a vow in this eerie place; he will save us once!"

After listening, Zheng Sheng remained silent for a long time.

Zhou Xun was probably not lying to him. He could sense that this strange creature was incredibly powerful. If it were to attack indiscriminately, the entire Yu Huo Squad would be in dire straits.

But the black lion remained strangely still. Even when the two stood in front of each other, its eyes were full of greed and desire, but it still did not make any move.

It is clearly being restrained by some force!

"The method to advance to the third sequence... Xindu..."

Zheng Sheng muttered to himself, never expecting to hear news about the new capital of Hope City No. 7 from Zhou Xun.

More importantly, the method for advancing to the third sequence was somewhat unexpected.

"For the third sequence, is it necessary to assimilate the anomalies for advancement?"

Zheng Sheng looked at the disheveled head with empty eyes on top of the black lion's head. Clearly, that should be the captain of the Yu Huo Squad.

Seeing Zheng Sheng deep in thought, Zhou Xun quickly stepped forward and closed the door of the truck.

Although this strange creature is not dangerous for the time being due to the oath given by the captain, it is still strange after all, so it is better to be careful!

Zheng Sheng stood in front of the truck for a moment, then hesitated for a moment before turning away.

He found Wang Lu and asked her.

"Did you see that weird thing just now?"

"Yes." Wang Lu nodded. "It's the one that just appeared yesterday, but it's growing very fast, faster than I expected. It looks like it has already reached the second-tier complete form."

"So, how's their strength?"

"I'm not entirely sure. The strange power, besides the energy reaction, is also related to strange abilities."

"However, at least judging from its energy response, it is the strongest of the eleven strange creatures in the forest!"

Zheng Sheng nodded, then glanced back at the convoy of the Yu Huo team, but did not act rashly.

This eerie black lion gave him a terrifying feeling, even more so than when he faced the three complete snails!

This is also the main reason why he didn't act rashly just now.

"Take them one at a time, starting with their weaknesses."

Zheng Sheng quickly made a decision: since the black lion was bound by the oath, he would leave it alone for now and wait until he had hunted down the other strange creatures in the forest.

He took out the strange coordinate map drawn by Wang Lu again, and after some consideration, chose a large ghost of the feathered stage in the coordinates. He then quickly left the group with Xiao Heizi.

Before leaving, he specifically called over Grandpa Niu and Zhang Mu and gave them a few instructions.

"Uncle Niu, take these three Yang Blood Paper Soldiers. Use them anytime if there is any danger. I will come back immediately once I sense it."

"Remember, you all stay around the pool and keep a close watch on that black mushroom. Don't let anyone get close!"

"Yes, Captain!" Grandpa Niu and the others nodded, but Luo Hao, who was standing to the side, still asked worriedly.

"Captain, this forest is so dangerous. I'm a little worried about you going out alone."

Zheng Sheng was slightly touched, stepped forward and patted Luo Hao on the shoulder to comfort him.

"Don't worry, I'll be right back. I'll retreat at any time if there's any danger. You can stay here and focus on advancing to the second tier. Make sure you make the second-tier Black Tendon Pill as soon as possible."

"Uh, Captain." Luo Hao gave an awkward smile, "You're so strong, I'm not worried about you, I'm just worried that if you leave, we'll be in danger."

Zheng Sheng's lips twitched, and she tightened her grip slightly on Luo Hao's shoulder.

Sure enough, you can't expect anything good to come out of a dog's mouth!
