A seasoned veteran like Black would naturally not overlook any detail. He felt sothing was off about the ’Housekeeper,’ but for the mont, he couldn’t pinpoint what it was.
Gradually, they closed in within 50 ters of Qing Chen. If it weren’t for the concern that Qing Chen’s struggle and shouts would attract attention, they might have already pounced on this Housekeeper!
Yellow pointed at his wrist.
It was only then that Black realized what was off; at so point, the Housekeeper had put on a string of Buddha Beads on his wrist...
They certainly weren’t there before!
The West Continent also has Buddhism, but the followers had long been hunted down by Black Water City’s religious order. Even those who believed could only worship silently at ho.
Could this Housekeeper actually be a Buddhist?
Black found it suspicious but didn’t think it was too serious...
In the next mont, he made a tactical gesture, and everyone began to speed up, pressing toward Qing Chen.
But after just two steps, they suddenly heard a noise coming from the treetops above them.
The sound was like soone passing through the tree canopy, brushing against leaves, and landing on the ground, though so lightly that it made no sound on the ground.
Not good!
It’s an ambush!
Black looked at Yellow, who was staring blankly because during his earlier scan, he truly hadn’t seen anything!
Black suddenly turned around; in the span of that instant of twisting, he rooted his feet to the ground, the force traveling up his legs to his waist, twisting his body.
The motion flowed smoothly, and the dagger in his hand swung backward!
However, he hit nothing!
Black turned his head and saw under the sparse and dappled moonlight filtering through the treetops, an ink-black shadow standing directly behind Yellow.
In the depths of this Taboo Forest, an ink-black figure without a face or features, looking not even human, was utterly terrifying.
"Watch out!" Black could no longer hold back and shouted to warn Yellow.
But unexpectedly, that dark figure didn’t kill anyone. Instead, it held a pair of scissors, lowered its body, and cut through sothing in the air.
Soon, the shadow didn’t stay to fight and disappeared ghost-like into the shadows, relying on its trendous speed.
It seed as though it belonged to the darkness and could rge with it at any ti.
Strangely, the night vision devices couldn’t see it, and thermal imaging couldn’t detect it!
This wasn’t because the shadow didn’t exist but because the properties of the night vision were precisely countered by the shadow.
Under normal circumstances, all shadows appear particularly blurry in infrared night vision unless there’s a light source with infrared supplent; otherwise, it’s challenging to capture the presence of a shadow.
So when all the B-Class experts used night vision to search for the shadow, they could only see a blurry shadow darting by.
Thus, the situation turned into:
Black and the others couldnning equip with night vision couldn’t find the shadow.
Without the night vision, they couldn’t even see the road.
How could they possibly fight under these conditions?
Black was on edge; he couldn’t comprehend how there could be such a ghostly thing in the Taboo Forest. Could it be a racial talent of so giant?
He looked again in the direction where Qing Chen was supposed to be standing but found that the figure of Qing Chen had long disappeared!
Where did he go?
Black lowered his voice and angrily asked, "Where did the Housekeeper go?"
All looked terrified; none of them noticed when Qing Chen disappeared!
It was at this mont that Green’s shadow was also cut, as was Red’s shadow... The sound of scissors closing clicked beside their ears, but Black and the others didn’t have the ability to eliminate the shadow.
The night of the Taboo Forest was highly suitable for the taking advantage of the Taboo Silhouette.
If you can’t even see where it is, how can you fight it?
Moreover, the Silhouette inherited Qing Chen’s A-Class Knight’s powerful physique, much faster than these B-Class Genetic Warriors.
Now in the Taboo Forest, there wasn’t just Qing Chen, an A-Class, but also a Silhouette that could thrash genetic warriors of the sa rank.
"Find the Housekeeper; he’s the one behind this. He’s not C-Class!" Black shouted to Yellow, "If you can’t find the shadow, use thermal imaging to find the Housekeeper; capture the leader first!"
Yellow looked through thermal imaging and discovered that in it, the Housekeeper’s orange-red figure was leisurely leaning against a tree trunk.
Qing Chen smiled and said, "Oh, what’s behind you all?"
Black abruptly turned around. He heard a snap from behind him, and then the shadow originally belonging to him under his feet slowly wriggled and stood up, becoming a new black shadow.
Not only him, but behind all the teammates whose shadows were cut, black shadows also stood up.
At this mont, Qing Chen’s side consisted of two A-Class and fourteen B-Class...
"You’re not the Housekeeper. Who are you?" Black roared while fighting with his shadow.
He suddenly realized a brutal reality: whenever he attacked the shadow, not only did it not break apart, but the pain was instead transferred back to himself.
When he slashed the shadow’s neck, his own neck ached intensely.
This kind of fighting oneself was simply unsolvable!
Actually, while the Silhouette was strong, it wouldn’t be this strong until Qing Chen used the out-of-three-realms card to exploit the bug. It suddenly turned from an ordinary battle Taboo to a Divine Artifact that could fight against many foes.
Tonight in this Taboo Land, never mind 14 B-Class Genetic Warriors, even if there were a hundred, Qing Chen would still kill them!
And he wouldn’t even need to do it himself!
Black no longer fought his shadow and crazily ran towards the Third Division Residence.
