Survival for All: I can deconstruct projections and synthesize everything.

As soon as Lin Xiao stepped into the edge of this eerie territory, a chilling aura enveloped him.

This chill seemed to penetrate deep into my bones, or rather, into my soul.

Even his body, which had already reached the first level of life, felt a chill.

Upon entering this place, Lin Xiao's vigilance was raised to the maximum.

Lin Xiao searched for the strange creature's tracks while making his way towards the safe house in the center of the territory.

As she walked, Lin Xiao suddenly felt a slight itch on the back of her neck.

Instantly, scenes from countless horror movies echoed in Lin Xiao's mind.

Lin Xiao froze on the spot, not daring to turn around, for fear of being suddenly killed in the face.

But they couldn't just stay like this. Lin Xiao thought for a moment and was about to use his Instant Step to speed up and leave when he suddenly felt that the itchy feeling was getting more and more intense with his movements, and even felt a cold breath on the back of his neck.

But Lin Xiao thought about the skill he had just obtained, which had been upgraded to +10, and he felt that he could withstand any attack.

So, he used the Instant Step technique again. The moment he used it, Lin Xiao twisted his body and saw what was attacking him.

It looked like a woman's long hair, but there was only long hair and no body.

Sensing Lin Xiao's movements, the long hair immediately began to grow wildly and rapidly.

In just a few seconds, waves of long black hair appeared on the ground and tree trunks in the forest where Lin Xiao was.

"This doesn't seem like a traditional ghost!"

Lin Xiao's eyes widened as she looked at the long hair.

But his hands didn't stop moving; the poison gland ring on his fingertip glowed faintly.

A ball of green venom, 50cm in diameter, condensed at Lin Xiao's fingertips. Then, Lin Xiao used his Instant Step to approach the body of the strange-looking hair.

Wielding a green mantis blade in his left hand, he unleashed a continuous stream of sword energy, slicing through wave after wave of long hair that were thrusting at him.

But the hair kept coming in, and soon the clump of hair surrounded Lin Xiao.

With his final, meter-long sword strike, Lin Xiao aimed forward, only to be blocked by the overwhelming amount of hair.

"Whoosh!"

The sword energy slashed out a one-meter-long gap, and Lin Xiao used the Instant Step to take advantage of the opportunity to dart out through the gap and immediately saw the true form of the Ghostly Hair.

The long hairs that attacked Lin Xiao were all derivatives of the continuous generation of the Ghost Hair.

Lin Xiao raised his fingertip, and the venom directly hit the body of the Ghost Hair. The venom ball, 50cm in diameter, completely covered the Ghost Hair's body.

The freak kept struggling in the venom, trying to escape.

But as expected of a ring dropped by a second-tier giant centipede, and having been synthesized by Lin Xiao, the power of its venom is truly not to be underestimated.

The strange hair only bounced around in the venom four times before being corroded by it.

Lin Xiao was supplied with 25 points of Source Crystal.

As the true form of the demonic hair was destroyed, the overwhelming amount of hair gradually disappeared, like an illusion.

"Phew...this thing is even harder to deal with than zombies..."

Lin Xiao took a deep breath and sighed at how difficult it was to deal with this strange creature.

Of course, the easiest creature to deal with in the mist was the zombie he encountered last night.

"Perhaps, of all the territories around here, the most difficult to deal with is that little girl in red..."

The mere thought of that figure sent a chill down Lin Xiao's spine, not to mention that the little girl in red had already set her sights on him last night.

Lin Xiao pulled her scattered thoughts back and continued searching for the strange traces.

While traveling through this territory, Lin Xiao did not use Instant Step, lest he be caught off guard by a close-range attack that he would not have time to deal with.

However, this was actually because Lin Xiao didn't fully understand his current strength at the first level of life.

If Lin Xiao knew better, he would know that, apart from the attack by the little girl in red and the flying zombie army, he would immediately dodge and counterattack any attack.

But perhaps it is Lin Xiao's natural fear of the supernatural that makes him so cautious.

Lin Xiao cautiously traversed the misty forest, keeping a watchful eye on her surroundings as she made her way.

"Hehehehehe..."

A sharp laugh echoed through the forest, causing Lin Xiao to stop immediately and warily observe the changes around him.

"Hahahaha..."

"Hehehehehe..."

The laughter grew increasingly shrill.

Unbeknownst to Lin Xiao, a sinister smiling face appeared on a tree trunk behind him.

"Hehehehehe..."

The eerie face slowly floated behind Lin Xiao and let out a few sharp laughs in his ear.

But Lin Xiao seemed to have been prepared. Before that strange face smiled, Lin Xiao had already used Instant Step to travel a long distance forward.

"As expected, the warning from the cockroach-skin coat was effective!"

Lin Xiao turned his head, looked at the eerie face, and activated the detection function of the Fog System.

[The Grimace, Tier 1, attacks by laughing. The longer the laughter is heard, the more pronounced the smile on the face becomes, until finally the Grimace removes the face and suffocates the victim.]

"Hey, as my strength has increased to the first tier, the information that the Mist System can detect about Mist creatures has become more specific."

Lin Xiao glanced at the sly smiley face in the introduction and then looked away.

Lin Xiao gripped the green mantis knife tightly, took a step, and disappeared from the spot.

The next moment, he appeared behind the grinning face, and swiftly slashed down with the knife in his hand.

But it was as if the blade had struck thin air; it passed right through the center of the grinning face and then slammed heavily into the ground.

"No physical form?"

Looking at that sly smile, Lin Xiao quickly began to analyze countermeasures.

In the next second, Lin Xiao thought of the props that he hadn't used for two days.

Hidden booby traps!

Concealed Mine +10: Tier 1. Upon explosion, dispels fog within a 55-meter radius and deals moderate damage to enemies within a 55-meter radius.

"Concealment: While in the fog, enemies of level two or lower will not detect the concealed booby trap. Outside the fog, it also reduces the chance of others detecting the concealed booby trap."

"Trick: Enemies within the area will be startled for 5 seconds by a trick hidden inside a concealed booby trap (the trick has no attack power and is only effective against creatures of Tier 2 and below)"

"The 'trick' in 'hidden booby traps' is probably from the same source as the 'trick' in this territory, isn't it?"

"Only trickery can defeat trickery!"

Lin Xiao focused on controlling his main body, quickly consuming 100 stamina points to project ten +2 hidden mines.

After the system backpack delivered the Shadow Mask, Lin Xiao took out a hidden booby trap and looked at the strange face sealed inside.
