Chapter 402: Chapter 310: Tricky Silk – Racing Against Time (Please Subscribe, Requesting Monthly Tickets!)

Although Yan Junze had been manipulating Tricky Silk to control the corpses and scare the Zeng Family, he was also closely observing the Stone of Fear in Rock’s hands.

It must be said, when he noticed that the black fear gathering speed in Rock’s Stone of Fear began to crazily increase, he felt somewhat uneasy himself.

Because it was not just the speed that had accelerated; the black density was also astonishing, and in a short amount of time, it almost completely filled the Stone of Fear.

Filling the Stone of Fear was simple; it meant that no transparent element could be seen inside the stone anymore. This could be discerned with the naked eye and was the sign for determining who had ultimately completed their scare.

Now, to Yan Junze’s view, Rock’s Stone of Fear was already about 95% filled, very rapidly and with a high density, surpassing his own.

If Yan Junze didn’t step up his efforts, he could easily lose this competition.

At least, as things stood now, the outcome of the competition was quickly tipping in Rock’s favor.

Little did Yan Junze know that his concerns would last only a moment; suddenly he saw Rock’s Stone of Fear shudder, with Rock appearing somewhat disconcerted but more annoyed, mumbling to himself.

“What? Went overboard with the Ultimate Move?” Yan Junze was astounded.

Immediately after, he saw the progress of the black filling in Rock’s Stone of Fear gradually stop until it came to a complete standstill.

Upon closer examination, it indeed stopped where it was, still lacking about 5% Fear Value to be completely filled.

At that moment, Rock, holding the Stone of Fear in both hands, was extremely careful as if afraid of dropping it, muttering to himself, “What happened? Why suddenly feel faint, and all at once?”

Yan Junze understood in his heart; it turned out this guy had frightened all his intended targets into fainting.

Indeed, if they had all fainted, there was no one left to scare, and the Fear Value was definitely gone, or if not entirely absent, then very little and negligible.

With that being the case, Yan Junze grinned, looked down at his own Stone of Fear, which was also filled with a significant amount of black, and it looked to be about 87%, not quite reaching 90%.

Now that the opponent’s progress had halted, surpassing Rock seemed just a matter of time.

“Oh dear, look at what you’ve done; how am I supposed to feel good about this?”

Yan Junze teased, with a hint of a smile on his lips, then immediately immersed himself in controlling the Tricky Silk.

It was about time for a grand finale for the Zeng Family.

Rock, on the other hand, had a look of grievance, furrowed his brows, and stared at the continuing stream of black Fear Value entering Yan Junze’s Stone of Fear.

He had not given up; they were nearing the end, and Rock would certainly give it his all if there was any chance left.

…

In Tianmeng District, Gaohe City.

Alongside a riverbank of a river called Dayuan River, where the vegetation was dense, the space open and the air moist; this place was situated on the outskirts of Gaohe City.

On weekends, some families would come to play by the riverbank, as it was very close to Gaohe City and not too remote.

But at this time, it was working hours, and the riverside was drizzled with incessant rain, devoid of people.

Zeng Shiyuo, Tian Xiaoxia, and Zeng Ziming were hiding in a wooden cabin by the river.

This cabin was usually rented to campers for temporary accommodation and was equipped with basic facilities. However, after the outbreak of strangeness a year ago, few people rented it anymore.

The cabin had windows on all four sides. The windows were large and let in a lot of light, so anyone staying in the cabin had an excellent view. You could stand inside and turn in a circle; if anything was amiss in any direction, it could be noticed immediately.

Zeng Shiyuo’s plan was for the family to stay here for a while, looking after each other, without anyone leaving alone.

The strangenesses had always appeared in the city, especially in crowded places, which was very disadvantageous for them. After coming here, perhaps the strangenesses would not seek them out again.

Even if they did come, in this area with excellent visibility, they could react in advance. If one of them was captured by the strangeness, the others could try their best to rescue them.

After all, no one could face the strangeness alone.

Equipped with their previous experiences, Zeng Shiyuo, Tian Xiaoxia, and Zeng Ziming also developed a detailed set of measures against the strangenesses, and they even set up simple traps outside the cabin.

The purpose of the traps was simple; although the strangenesses were invisible, they could at least be temporarily trapped, winning the intended target time to escape.

After tidying up the cabin a bit, Tian Xiaoxia also organized the bedding.

Having once committed a major crime, the three of them had experienced several escapes and had developed a certain level of counter-surveillance capability. They would quickly grasp the environmental layout wherever they went, stay inconspicuous and had formed a good understanding between themselves.

Thus, altering the surrounding environment was no big problem for them.

But this time, they were not facing the security officers of this world but rather the eerie and indescribably strange strangenesses. All three were on high alert.

After everything was prepared, Tian Xiaoxia boiled some water for the father and son, used some of it to wash her face, and then made a pot of tea with the rest.

About thirty meters away from the cabin, a clearly makeshift row of simple wooden sticks suddenly collapsed.

Observing the situation, Zeng Ziming immediately said, “There might be strangeness coming; the ‘alarm’ over there has fallen.”

“Did you see anything?” asked Tian Xiaoxia, who was washing her face by the window. On hearing this, her body slightly trembled, and she quickly asked, then immediately moved closer to the window to look in the direction Zeng Ziming was pointing.
