Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Lin Yan focused on the shadow in the alley. He didn’t know if it was his imagination, but he felt that the shadow was like a pool of flowing water. There seemed to be layers of ripples on the surface, as if they were flowing.

“Am I imagining things?”

Lin Yan looked around. The entire Ding’an City was terrifyingly silent.

He casually took out a piece of dried meat that he had not finished before. With a flick of his finger, the dried meat suddenly appeared like a stone when it left his finger and fell into the shadow of the alley.

“No reaction…!!”

The dried meat landed on the shadow. After a few breaths, the shadow in the alley suddenly moved!

Suddenly, a pitch-black color seeped out from the ground, spreading like ink. A completely black hand that looked like asphalt suddenly stretched out from the shadow and grabbed the jerky.

At the same time, he pressed his palm on the ground and pushed hard, pulling up a naked and strange body that was also pitch-black and reflecting light from the shadow!

The process was a little similar to Lin Yan using the Savage Flame to pull out the Savage Flame weapons. However, the viscous and pitch-black oil adhered to the humanoid body and kept falling. It was very disgusting.

Suddenly, Lin Yan turned his head and looked to the left. An identical pitch-black human figure appeared from the shadow of a two-story corner building!

Then, in the shadow of the pavilion on the right, the shadow of the tea pavilion on the left, and the shadow of the Cottage on the right!

Dozens of pitch-black figures crawled out of the shadows densely!

Then, they staggered towards the direction where the stone was thrown!

Their faces were all different. They were tall, short, fat, or thin. Other than their skin, which was pure black and shiny, their facial features, figures, and movements were no different from ordinary people.

Moreover, the frequency of his footsteps was clearly in line with the footsteps on the ground.

“That person…”

Lin Yan’s pupils constricted slightly. He had seen one of the dozens of dark figures before!

It was a guy from one of the other factions in the underground plains that did not plant the Spirit Marrow.

“Issuer Liu and the others encountered this strange shadow. I wonder how they’re doing…”

Lin Yan’s heart sank.

These pitch-black people gathered step by step, forming a completely sealed cage on the left and right. Then, they slowly shrank the encirclement and squeezed towards the center.

And then…

Pfft, pfft, pfft. Several pitch-black human figures were packed together, causing the flesh on their bodies to fluctuate like balloons filled with water.

They seemed to be stunned. There was nothing in the direction where the stone flew.

On the roof of the two-story building at the side, Lin Yan squatted down and carefully observed these strange things below.

After throwing the stone just now, he naturally wouldn’t stay on the spot. With a light leap, he silently landed on the second floor of the corner building.

As time passed, the skin of these things actually began to change color faintly, as if they were about to return to the color of normal human flesh.

“There’s something wrong with the bodies of these things…”

Lin Yan opened his palm. When he jumped onto the corner building, he picked up a tile. His fingers moved gently, and he pinched off a piece of the tile. He channeled his strength and suddenly threw it!

Slash!

There was a strong sound of air being torn apart. The tile was like an arrow that had left the bow. It cut through the air and instantly hit the chest of a short, fat, and pitch-black humanoid below.

As if it had hit a spring bed, the short and fat humanoid’s chest first caved in, and a huge protrusion rose behind it. Its entire body seemed to have been squeezed flat.

Then, unable to withstand the force of the tile, its chest suddenly exploded. In an instant, a ball of dense bright red blood exploded from its body and sprayed out in a radial manner, printing a beautiful scarlet blood flower on the ground. Lin Yan’s gaze froze. That was how those blood flowers came about!

Under the shiny black skin, it was actually full of blood!

Blood splattered and the skin membrane exploded into a few pieces. However, the skin membrane wriggled and reassembled into a whole. As if it was not injured, it gathered into a ball again and slowly disappeared into the shadow. Just as he was about to change locations, Lin Yan inadvertently looked down. His pupils constricted and his scalp went numb!

A squirming shadow was constantly moving left and right under his feet, constantly changing its shape, as if it was probing for something!

“What the hell is this! When did it come?!”

Old Qin shouted, and his voice was high in Lin Yan’s mind.

Lin Yan suddenly exerted strength under his feet and silently jumped up, landing on the roof of a residential house on the right.

Standing gently on the roof, Lin Yan focused his gaze at his feet and heaved a sigh of relief. The strange shadow didn’t follow him over. Instead, it was still on the roof of the corner building, lingering where he had been standing just now.

“Wait, I think I remember…”

Suddenly, in his mind, Old Qin’s voice became excited. “This thing… is called Dark Shadow!”

“Dark Shadow?”

“That’s right! Legend has it that this is a strange demon transformed from human skin, animal skin, or demon skin!

“Its main body is an extremely tough pitch-black demon skin. Ordinary methods can’t destroy it at all.

“Legend has it that the Dark Shadow only has a demonic skin left. Under the accumulation of resentment, it yearns for a body extremely.

“When a living creature steps into its territory, it will first silently fuse with the prey’s shadow. Then, when the prey is unprepared, it will suddenly expand and wrap around the prey!

“Because the Dark Shadow is extremely tough, once wrapped up, you can’t break free at all. You can only watch helplessly as it digests and devours you, turning you into a ball of blood like just now!”

Lin Yan’s eyes constricted slightly. In that case, everyone in Ding’an City was devoured by this shadow?!

The entire Ding’an City… was gone?!

Senior Sister Chen Yuan, Xie Lingyan, Eldest Senior Brother, Old Master Li Muqing…

Lin Yan’s entire body trembled slightly. He took a deep breath and forcefully suppressed the waves in his heart. Fusion with the shadow… In other words, it relied on the shadow to determine the location of its prey? No, it should be said that it can only rely on the shadow to locate the target?

Just now, on the corner building, Lin Yan was standing there and even jumped. It was obvious that he exerted pressure on the eaves below, but he didn’t alarm the Dark Shadow Skin. Clearly, it only reacted to shadows!

As for it, it locked onto Lin Yan’s approximate location through the shadow of the stone he threw.

However, under the Black Tortoise Divine Armor, Lin Yan was nowhere to be seen.

Old Qin seemed to have recalled the terrifying aspect of the Dark Shadow and was terrified. “Brother, this Dark Shadow is extremely difficult to deal with. Fire and water are difficult to destroy it. If it’s broken, it can be reassembled. There’s no way to kill it. 1 think we should escape!”

Lin Yan also nodded. Although he didn’t have a shadow and could be said to be a natural counter to these Dark Shadow Skins, who knew what other strange abilities they had?

In that instant just now, the Dark Shadow Skin could arrive under his feet silently. It was enough to show how strange and difficult the Dark Shadow Skin was!

Moreover, he didn’t have a shadow, but Liu Lanqing and the others did!

If they were still trapped in Ding’an City, they would definitely be attacked from both sides.

Thinking of this, Lin Yan stepped lightly and jumped to another roof in his invisible state.

He looked left and right. Fortunately, the traces of Issuer Liu and the others escaping were quite obvious. There were charred marks along the way.

Lin Yan didn’t want to go down, so he simply moved quickly along the roof to ensure that he didn’t step into the shadows in every step.

He chased them forward.

Lin Yan was suddenly stunned. “This route… Why does it look like they’re going to Dragon Gate Pavilion?!”

There was a high chance that Liu Lanqing would not use Dragon Gate Pavilion as her destination. It was very likely that she had coincidentally retreated in this direction because of the pressure of the Dark Shadow Skin.

Lin Yan jumped over roof after roof silently.

Just as he jumped to the top of a teahouse, Lin Yan suddenly stopped. There was someone!

On the top of the teahouse, there was a person sitting upright. Lin Yan did not know him.

The veins on his face bulged, and all the strength in his body erupted. From his chest down, he was already wrapped in the pitch-black Dark Shadow Skin.

It was obvious that he was using his strength to block the expansion of the Dark Shadow Skin!

“Old Qin, will the Dark Shadow Skin be blocked by force?”

“Well, 1 think so? 1 can’t remember…”

If the force could block the shadow, would anyone in Dragon Gate Pavilion survive?

Thinking of this, Lin Yan became even more anxious and sped away..
