In the sky above the Evil Dragon Valley, there were monsters that could hide their bodies, auras, sounds … It was impossible to capture their traces. There was not just one or two of these monsters, but hundreds and thousands of them. The sky that seemed to be as clear as water could be densely packed with these monsters, but you could not see them, hear them, or even feel their existence.
When one relaxed their vigilance and thought they were safe, they could suddenly bite off one's head and limbs, causing one to die a tragic death when one was defenseless.
Just thinking about this formless horror made one's heart turn cold.
However, the rookies in front of them did not know that they were in such a horror. The few rookies that had their heads eaten off and even had their bodies "torn apart" did not know what kind of tragic experiences they had experienced in another timeline.
In this timeline where everything had been reset to the Absolute Choice's appearance, they were still chatting and laughing. They would either complain about the lack of dragons in Dragon Mountain Valley, or discuss the inexplicable eeriness of the valley, or chat about the divine might of Shi Xiaobai's punch.
The disaster had yet to happen, but it was about to happen.
And the only person who knew about it was Shi Xiaobai. He had to shoulder the heavy responsibility of saving them.
But how was he to save them?
Shi Xiaobai was somewhat at a loss this time. He could brainlessly use a large area of effect sword technique to cover the sky. Even if he could not see the monsters, he could still kill them. However, he was unable to perfectly protect every rookie. This was because there were too many monsters. Furthermore, there was no way to predict where they would attack from or who they would attack.
Shi Xiaobai's heart was somewhat heavy. He felt helpless.
However, he would not give up thinking because of this.
Suddenly, Shi Xiaobai thought of something suspicious.
Why was it that despite there being so many monsters in the sky above the valley, only a monster suddenly attacked the decapitated rookie after more than ten rookies had left the valley?
The second time, it was also when the rookies launched their attacks into the sky. Only after a large number of monsters were injured did they begin attacking the rookies.
Logically speaking, with so many invisible monsters, it was impossible for the rookies to defend against them if they took the initiative to attack as a group.
However, these monsters did not do so. In a certain sense, their attacks were passive.
In that case, could it be that these monsters were actually gentle in nature, so they would not take the initiative to attack the rookies?
But from the fact that they would easily bite off the rookies' heads, they should be ferocious carnivorous monsters, right?
"What's going on?"
Shi Xiaobai was puzzled, but his eyes lit up slightly. If he could answer the puzzlement, he might be able to find an opportunistic solution.
"Why aren't the carnivores attacking in groups when they have the absolute advantage? Was it because he was a carnivore but had a gentle personality? Or was he waiting for an opportunity? Or is it just a lack of collective cohesion? "
Shi Xiaobai muttered to himself. With a heavy heart, he had accidentally murmured the doubts in his heart. However, his voice was extremely soft, as though he did not make a sound.
However, there was a person standing beside Shi Xiaobai all this while. She had heard his mutterings.
"Maybe … they are just afraid, so they don't dare to make a move."
Ka Xiaozi's gentle voice reached Shi Xiaobai's ears.
This sentence was like a star that suddenly lit up in the darkness.
As Shi Xiaobai ruminated over this sentence, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Fear."
Shi Xiaobai softly said the two words as a smile slowly suffused across his lips.
The word 'dread' immediately resolved the two biggest questions in Shi Xiaobai's mind.
Why did the hundreds or thousands of invisible monsters not attack despite having the absolute advantage. Only after they were injured did they angrily counterattack.
Why did the group of monsters first target the rookies in the periphery when they counterattacked, while he and Ka Xiaozi were clearly outside the crowd and were alone, yet not a single monster attacked them.
The two questions could be answered with the word 'fear'!
The group of monsters were afraid of him, or perhaps …
Shi Xiaobai turned his head to look at the girl beside him. She had pink hair that was tied into two ponytails. She looked rather youthful and beautiful. Her pair of amber eyes were spirited and filled with vitality. Her exquisite facial features and exquisite figure made her look like an innocent and beautiful pixie.
The group of monsters did not dare to make a move. Even though they were injured and enraged, they did not take the initiative to attack the lone rookies. They were afraid of him or Ka Xiaozi.
A more reasonable explanation was that the power of his punch had frightened the monsters.
However, Shi Xiaobai had an inexplicable feeling. He felt that the monsters were afraid of the girl beside him.
Shi Xiaobai looked deeply into Ka Xiaozi's eyes before saying softly, "Thank you."
Ka Xiaozi blinked her eyes and said with a smile, "I don't remember doing anything worth being grateful for."
Shi Xiaobai did not explain, but he knew how important Ka Xiaozi's words were.
"Then, there's only one question left."
Shi Xiaobai continued lowering his head to ponder.
If the group of monsters were afraid of him or Ka Xiaozi, why would a monster suddenly attack the rookie?
"It looks like I can only use that move."
.....
What was that move?
Six words — Crime Scene Restoration!
Shi Xiaobai repeated the actions of the previous two timelines. The plot was still the same as the previous two times. The rookies began to retreat out of the valley, with more than ten people quickly leaving.
The rookie who was about to be decapitated was still chatting happily with the girl beside him. In another three seconds or so, a tragedy was about to happen.
Shi Xiaobai suddenly charged forward at an extremely fast speed. He tried his best to suppress his voice and hide his aura.
In an instant, he was less than three meters away from the rookie.
He wanted to take a closer look at what had happened at that moment. He wanted to know what the rookie had done or said. Why would a monster suddenly attack him?
Then, Shi Xiaobai heard a loud sound.
"Pu!"
It was a fart that could be clearly heard several meters away!
Immediately following that, a pungent stench inundated his nose!
Shi Xiaobai was caught off guard as he was immediately dumbfounded.
At the moment he was dumbfounded, the rookie's head had been bitten off by the monster once again. Blood spewed out as the surrounding rookies began to scream. At the same time, a few rookies covered their noses and mouths.
The first time he observed them, Shi Xiaobai believed that these people covered their mouths and noses because they could not stand the smell of blood.
So it was because they could not stand the stench of a fart!
Shi Xiaobai silently turned around. He felt somewhat regretful that he had failed to save the rookie because of the fart's shock.
However, he felt somewhat helpless.
He originally believed that the rookie had done something earth-shattering, or said something that would make ghosts weep and gods wail, resulting in a monster that it was afraid of attacking him.
He never expected that it was because of the rookie's fart. The monster probably believed that it was a "poisonous gas attack", so it could not tolerate it any further.
A bloody case caused by a fart.
What else could Shi Xiaobai say?
.....
"Make your choice, youth!"
When Shi Xiaobai heard the familiar voice and saw the familiar scene in front of him, he felt somewhat depressed.
This was the fourth time he had chosen this option.
This was also the first time he had failed three times with the Absolute Choice. In the past, he would succeed within three tries with the Absolute Choice.
And this time, he had made an exception. And the most fucked up thing was that the reason for his failure three times was because of a fart!
A fart …
Can you imagine the depression Shi Xiaobai was feeling at that moment?
However, while Shi Xiaobai was feeling depressed, he also heaved a sigh of relief. If his guess was correct, then as long as they did not do anything out of line, everyone should be able to leave the valley safely.
Shi Xiaobai chose [Choice 1, Save all the rookies in Dragon Mountain Valley] for the fourth time.
The still time began to flow once again.
Shi Xiaobai immediately shouted to everyone, "Everyone, immediately leave the valley as fast as possible! There's no time. This King will explain to all of you after leaving the valley! "
Shi Xiaobai pretended to look anxious. Although everyone was puzzled when they heard this, Shi Xiaobai's reputation was just too high. They immediately believed that Shi Xiaobai had discovered a danger that he did not have the time to explain. They hurriedly turned around and walked towards the valley's exit.
There was no time to explain. Run!
Thankfully, the valley's exit was large enough, so it did not appear crowded even when everyone left in a hurry.
Shi Xiaobai said loudly, "Take note, do not fart!"
The people who were leaving were immediately left dumbfounded.
But immediately, Shi Xiaobai's voice was heard once again.
"Do not fart!"
"Do not fart!"
Important matters had to be repeated thrice.
The rookies were puzzled, but seeing how serious Shi Xiaobai was, they placed the extremely ridiculous request in mind.
With so many people around, farts were something that required courage.
Shi Xiaobai urged everyone to hurry up. The rookies did not dare to delay as they quickly retreated out of the valley. Soon, more than half of them had left.
Shi Xiaobai turned to Ka Xiaozi and said, "Let's go as well."
Ka Xiaozi nodded with a smile. Clearly, she could not help but laugh at Shi Xiaobai's words of "do not fart".
The two of them were at the back of the crowd as they walked at a leisurely pace.
Shi Xiaobai's heart leaped up slightly. A guess was after all a guess. When it was put into practice, there might be some unexpected accidents. Shi Xiaobai did not dare to lower his guard.
Only when all the rookies had safely left the valley and he and Ka Xiaozi had safely reached the valley's exit did Shi Xiaobai's heart secretly relax.
He turned his head to glance at the empty valley and was hesitating if he should leave now.
Even though time had been reset, the bloody scenes were still fresh in his mind. Shi Xiaobai's anger would not be appeased if he did not kill all the monsters. And now, with the rookies safely evacuated, he could start a massacre without any qualms.
"Forget it, I'll leave you guys with a little more time. Once the choice is over, This King will come back for revenge."
With this thought in mind, Shi Xiaobai walked out of the valley with Ka Xiaozi.
Outside the valley, the rookies were waiting for Shi Xiaobai to come out, but at this moment, they were covering their noses and complaining about the stench.
The moment Shi Xiaobai appeared, the rookie who had been beheaded previously said with an embarrassed smile, "Sorry, I couldn't help it."
Even though Shi Xiaobai had emphasized three times not to fart, the rookie still did it. From the looks of it, he had been holding in this smelly fart for a long time.
But thankfully, it was outside the valley this time.
Shi Xiaobai found it somewhat amusing. He had nearly been dumbfounded by that smelly fart.
Shi Xiaobai's heart relaxed slightly. Everyone had evacuated the terrifying valley, so the situation was likely safe.
At this moment, a fiery voice resounded in his mind.
"Make your choice, youth!"
Shi Xiaobai jumped in fright as his consciousness went into a trance.
The scene in front of him suddenly returned to the scene where everyone was in the valley. Time had come to a standstill, and it was still the three choices that appeared in front of Shi Xiaobai's eyes.
Shi Xiaobai was truly dumbfounded this time.
Time had turned back. This meant that he had failed again.
But this time, Shi Xiaobai did not know how he had failed. The rookies had clearly evacuated the valley, so why did someone still die?
Furthermore, someone had died without him even knowing it.
Who was the one that died?
Why did he die?
How did he die?
This time, Shi Xiaobai was completely clueless.
"Make your choice, youth!"
The fiery voice constantly resounded in his mind, as though it was telling Shi Xiaobai that everything had not ended. No, everything had just begun.

(PS: Recently, this plot update can't be done quickly because I have to spend most of my time thinking about the plot. I have already figured out the overall structure of this plot, but I have to think about the minute details every day. This is because every dead knot I write has to be solved by myself. For example, I have racked my brains to think of a reasonable way to resolve this situation. I can't solve it by force, so I can only use a humorous way of writing. It took me a long time to come up with it. Everyone can actually think about how Shi Xiaobai would resolve this situation if it wasn't a bloody case caused by a smelly fart. If anyone has any good ideas, please share them in the book review section. The following plot will have one dead knot after another. I will also cleverly solve them one by one. I have already thought of the dead knot, but the solution still requires a flash of inspiration. Hence, I write slowly at times. I hope everyone can understand.) (To be continued.)
