Lin Yu whispered, "Is it him? Could it really be the transformed giant salamander?" His heart beat faster involuntarily. He was looking forward to uncovering the truth, but also worried that this was just a prelude to greater danger.
Ouyang Zhenghao nodded slightly, a hint of excitement and vigilance flashed in his eyes, and he clenched his fists: "No matter whether it is or not, let's get closer and take a look. No matter what kind of monsters it is, I am not afraid." Although he pretended to be calm, he was also guessing the true identity of this mysterious figure in his heart.
As they crept closer, the figure, as if sensing something, suddenly turned. A terrifying face appeared before them, its skin a sickly pale bluish-white, like long-soaked rotting flesh, shimmering with a sickening, watery sheen. Its eyes, like two ghostly green will-o'-the-wisps, flickered eerily in the darkness, exuding an endless coldness and eeriness. Its nose was flat and wide, like two black holes, constantly twitching. Its mouth was unusually wide, its corners slightly raised, revealing a row of sharp, yellowed teeth that seemed capable of tearing through any prey with ease.
"Who are you? Why are you following me?" The voice was low and hoarse, as if it was squeezed out from the deep cracks in the ground, with a smell of decay that made people feel uncomfortable.

After saying that, his figure flashed and disappeared into the mountains and forests like a ghost, leaving only a gust of cold wind that rustled the surrounding leaves.
Ouyang Zhenghao stomped his feet in anger and punched the tree trunk beside him: "This guy runs so fast, and I just let him get away like this? I really can't accept it!" He was full of regret and felt that he had lost face in front of this mysterious opponent.
Lin Yu frowned, staring at the direction the figure had disappeared. After a moment's contemplation, he said, "There's definitely something wrong with him, and he's definitely not a good person. Let's go back and sort out the clues, then find a way to find him. This is just the beginning. We will definitely uncover his true identity, no matter what the cost." With doubts and firm determination, the two slowly returned to their temporary base, and a thrilling contest had just begun...
