Chapter 376 The Monster That Can Disguise
"Or... are you just monsters dressed in human skin?"
Lin Fan stared intently at the Hound and his companions.
Faced with his questioning, the hounds fell silent.
But only for a moment, and then a strange smile appeared on their faces.
Especially the hunting dogs; the smiles they wore at this moment were no longer the ingratiating smiles of before, but rather an indescribable, twisted, and awkward smile.
It gives people the feeling that...
That smile was not a smile that a human being should have.
"You are very smart."
At the same time, the hound with the contorted face also spoke, and as it spoke, its body began to change.
Black liquid began to seep from the surface of what was originally human skin, as if something hidden under that skin was about to burst out.
And as the hound changed, the four people behind it also changed.
The expressions on their faces vanished, replaced by emptiness and numbness, as if they had lost their souls.
Before Lin Fan could even speak, the five people exploded simultaneously under his gaze.
To be precise, it was the skin that exploded.
Emerging from beneath that layer of human skin were five black figures, each twice the size of an ordinary black shadow.
They were denser and more solid than any of the shadows they had encountered before.
Each one exuded a sense of oppression far exceeding that of ordinary shadowy figures.
"Oh."
Lin Fan looked at the five large, dark figures emerging from human skin and a cold smile appeared on his lips.
"Is this a sign that they're about to have a showdown?"
As he spoke, he took a few steps back and sized up the five large, dark figures.
These five things were much larger, and unlike those ordinary black shadows that were elusive, each one was very solid.
As they hatched, five human skins were scattered on the ground.
The real Hound Five's human skin.
This suggests that the five members of the Hound were likely ravaged by these monsters.
"What are you guys up to if you've infiltrated our group?"
Looking at the five dark figures in front of him, Lin Fan spoke, his tone even carrying a hint of curiosity.
"Are you waiting for Nabatae and the others to leave before ambushing me? Or are you wary of Nabatae and the others and trying to guide us away from the core?"
However, the five dark figures did not answer his question.
It's also possible that they lost their ability to speak after shedding their human skin.
But almost at the same moment he finished speaking, five dark figures pounced on him without hesitation.
Its speed was several levels faster than those ordinary black shadows before.
Seeing this, Lin Fan lowered his body slightly, staggered his feet, and instantly lowered his center of gravity to its lowest point.
The moment the first dark figure rushed towards him, he dodged to the side, his right hand already raised...
Then, without hesitation, he threw a punch.
This punch had no fancy moves, just pure power.
But his fist was wrapped in a layer of gray, calamistic power.
The fist, imbued with the power of calamity, pierced through the first approaching shadow in an instant.
puff--
The shadow shattered on the spot, turning into a cloud of black smoke that scattered in all directions.
That's it? ? ?
Seeing the power of his punch, Lin Fan was taken aback.
He never expected these shadowy figures to be so fragile, and he was also surprised to discover...
"Wow, it seems that while your bodies have solidified, you've also abandoned physical immune functions."
Lin Fan shook his hand and watched the dissipating black smoke.
However, he soon discovered that the dissipating black smoke did not completely disappear like the ordinary black shadows.
Instead, it floated away and drifted backward, then solidified again in his astonished gaze.
However, the body that the other party solidified again was somewhat fainter.
The other four figures, upon seeing Lin Fan instantly kill their companion, did not rush forward as expected. Instead, they stopped and watched him quietly.
The way they looked was as if they were reassessing Lin Fan's strength.
"What? Scared?"
Seeing this, Lin Fan's lips curled up slightly.
"Don't stop, keep going. I thought you guys had such a big plan in mind, you must have some hidden tricks up your sleeve."
However, just as he was speaking, the four dark figures also moved.
Instead of attacking him, they began to move closer to each other.
The next moment, to his astonishment, the four dark shadows began to merge.
The four dark shapes merged into one in a rapid manner, their size expanding dramatically.
In just a few breaths, they transformed from four large black shadows into one giant black shadow.
This giant, merged black shadow is even larger than Nabataël.
Moreover, its shape is no longer that blurry human form, but has solidified into a clear outline...
It has a nose and eyes.
"Has this been combined?"
Lin Fan raised an eyebrow at the scene. "Interesting."
The merged black shadow seemed unwilling to listen to his trash talk, and took a step forward, appearing directly in front of him with a trail of residual black smoke.
The speed and proportions were completely disproportionate; it was ridiculously fast.
Just as Lin Fan was astonished, a giant, pitch-black hand slammed down towards his head.
The power and speed of this palm strike were on a completely different level from those scattered soldiers.
Of course, this only applies to the average person.
And Lin Fan,
Clearly, he is not an ordinary person.
Faced with this sudden attack, he did not try to intercept it directly, but instead retreated rapidly.
puff--
Just as he dodged, the giant black hand slammed down on the spot where he had just stood, and the force pressed the withered leaves and soil on the ground into a shallow pit.
Furthermore, faint black mist continued to drift around the shallow pit.
The moment the black mist came into contact with the surrounding withered branches and rotten leaves, those already decaying leaves and branches instantly turned into black smoke and dust...
"Oh wow, is this a combination of physics and magic?"
Lin Fan stared in astonishment at everything before him, unable to help but exclaim in amazement.
Unexpectedly, this dark figure... was actually quite something.
"However, if that's all you've got, then I won't hold back."
After saying that, he took a deep breath.
As black scales appeared, his hands also began to glow with a dense, grayish-white light of calamity.
This was the method he came up with last night. Strictly speaking, these calamities are not physical attacks.
Therefore, he decided to give it a try.
Based on the experiment just now, the results were surprisingly good.
Since his calamity power was equally effective against these shadowy figures, what was there for him to be afraid of?
Faced with the dark figure that was slapping at him again, Lin Fan did not retreat this time.
He faced the giant black hand, slightly turned his body, and passed through the gap in the palm's force while simultaneously turning his right fist into a palm, striking the shadowy figure directly in the abdomen.
The grayish-white power of calamity penetrated directly into his body.
The giant black shadow shuddered, and several cracks appeared on its body surface.
But instead of shattering as he had imagined, it raised its palm again and grabbed at him.
"As expected, this is not something that can be solved with one punch."
Lin Fan withdrew his hand and stepped back.
The power of calamity had already seeped into his palm strike just now.
The moment he made contact, he sensed the situation inside the black body.
The merged shadow is less a single, massive entity and more a composite monster with four cores.
To defeat this monster, we must eliminate its four cores.
In that instant, he had already sensed the four core locations within the other's body.
On the left shoulder, right rib, lower back, left leg...
"Looks like it'll take some effort to deal with you..."
