While dodging, Chen Yao suddenly came up with an idea. "Lin Yu, Ouyang, we can use the surrounding trees to make some simple traps to trap these tentacles, and then get closer to the Skinner!" Chen Yao shouted, a glimmer of hope in her eyes.
Lin Yu and Ouyang Zhenghao immediately understood what Shen Yao meant. They quickly gathered up the branches and vines around them and began to make a trap. In the tense atmosphere, they raced against time, their ears constantly filled with the sounds of waving tentacles and the creature's roar.
Finally, they had crafted several simple traps. Lin Yu, seizing the perfect moment, deliberately attracted the attention of a tentacle, then ran toward the trap. Sure enough, the tentacle chased after him and instantly entangled itself in the trap's branches. Lin Yu seized the opportunity to pull hard on the vines, trapping the tentacle tightly.
"Quick, follow this method and trap a few more tentacles!" Lin Yu shouted. Ouyang Zhenghao and Shen Yao followed suit, and soon, several tentacles were successfully trapped.
Seizing this opportunity, the three rushed towards the Skinner. At this point, the Skinner's transformation hadn't yet been completed, its body twisting even more violently, and it looked in excruciating pain. Lin Yu zeroed in on its right eye and stabbed it again with his weapon.
However, just as the weapon was about to strike, the Skinner seemed to sense the mortal danger. It suddenly emitted a strong green light, knocking Lin Yu and the other two flying. They fell heavily to the ground, feeling as if their internal organs were about to be shattered.
"No, this won't work. It's too powerful. We need to come up with a more comprehensive plan." Lin Yu struggled to stand up and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. At this point, his body was exhausted and the pain from his wounds was unbearable, but he knew they couldn't give up and had to find a way to defeat the Skinwalker.
Chen Yao looked at the chaotic scene around her and suddenly had an idea: "Lin Yu, those strange symbols we found in the open space before may be able to be used. Maybe by interpreting the symbols, we can find a way to restrain it." Chen Yao said, with a glimmer of hope in her eyes.
Ouyang Zhenghao said doubtfully: "Those symbols are so weird, how can we use them? And is there enough time?" His heart was full of doubts. On the one hand, he hoped that Chen Yao's method would work, and on the other hand, he was worried that there was not enough time and the Skinning Walker would attack again.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Yu said, "It's worth a try. Chen Yao, you know a lot about mysticism. Now recall those symbols and see if you can come up with a solution. Ouyang and I will be responsible for delaying time and preventing the Skinner from approaching you." Lin Yu said, his eyes revealing firm determination.
Chen Yao closed her eyes, trying to recall the symbols carved into the stone. The shapes and arrangements of the symbols kept resurfacing in her mind, and she tried to find clues from her occult knowledge. "The arrangement of those symbols seems to form a formation pattern... That's right, it could be a sealing formation!" Chen Yao suddenly opened her eyes and said excitedly.
After hearing this, Lin Yu and Ouyang Zhenghao felt a glimmer of hope. "Then what should we do?" Ouyang Zhenghao asked anxiously.
Chen Yao said: "We need to find some specific items around us, arrange them according to the arrangement of symbols, and form a temporary sealing formation. Maybe we can temporarily seal the power of the Skinner." As Chen Yao spoke, he looked around, trying to find the items needed to make the sealing formation.
Lin Yu quickly said: "Okay, let's look for it separately. Ouyang, you and I will pay attention to the movements of the Skinning Walker. Once it shows signs of attacking, we will resist it with all our strength. Chen Yao, you concentrate on finding items and set up the formation as soon as possible." Lin Yu said, and then he and Ouyang Zhenghao carefully approached the Skinning Walker, trying to attract its attention and buy time for Chen Yao.
The Skinner seemed to sense their intentions. With a roar, it broke free from its trapped tentacles and charged towards Lin Yu and Ouyang Zhenghao. By this point, the Skinner's transformation was complete. Its stature had grown even taller, and its power seemed even greater. Its right eye flashed with a fierce light, and its mouth bared sharp fangs, making it look even more terrifying.
Lin Yu and Ouyang Zhenghao gripped their weapons, ready for battle. "Come on, you monster!" Ouyang Zhenghao shouted, trying to embolden himself with his voice. Lin Yu, on the other hand, closely watched the Skinner's every move, searching for a flaw in its attack.
The Skinner pounced forward, its massive claws clawing at Lin Yu. Lin Yu dodged to the side, slashing at the Skinner's claws with his weapon. Ouyang Zhenghao also took the opportunity to attack the Skinner's legs from the side. However, the Skinner's speed and strength far exceeded their expectations, and their attacks caused minimal damage to it.
"This won't work. It's too powerful. We have to find a way to distract it!" Lin Yu shouted. He knew that with their current strength, they were no match for the Skin Walker in a head-on confrontation. They had to find a way to outsmart it.
At this moment, Chen Yao shouted from not far away: "I found some items and am setting up a formation! You guys hold on for a while!" There was a hint of anxiety in Chen Yao's voice. She knew that Lin Yu and Ouyang Zhenghao were facing great danger at the moment, but she had to set up the formation as soon as possible to have a chance to defeat the Skinning Walker.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yu and Ouyang Zhenghao fought even harder against the Skinner. They fled through the forest, using trees as cover, dodging the Skinner's attacks while looking for opportunities to strike back. Every attack and evasion left them exhausted, but they knew they couldn't give up; they had to buy more time for Chen Yao.
The Skinner was enraged by their actions and attacked the surrounding trees frantically, trying to force Lin Yu and Ouyang Zhenghao out. For a moment, the sound of trees breaking in the forest was heard one after another, and dust was flying.
"Lin Yu, I'm almost done!" Chen Yao shouted. Lin Yu and Ouyang Zhenghao were delighted when they heard this, but at the same time, they became more alert. They knew that the final critical moment was about to arrive.
Finally, Chen Yao shouted, "The formation is ready, lure it over here!" Lin Yu and Ouyang Zhenghao exchanged a glance, then ran in the direction of Chen Yao's formation. The Skinner chased after them, his eyes filled with anger and murderous intent.
When the Skinning Walker stepped into the range of the seal array set by Chen Yao, the array suddenly emitted a dazzling light, enveloping the Skinning Walker. The Skinning Walker roared and tried to break free from the seal, but the power of the array bound it tightly.
"Success!" Ouyang Zhenghao shouted excitedly. Lin Yu and Shen Yao also breathed a sigh of relief, but they knew they couldn't let their guard down.
"This seal won't hold for long. We must take this opportunity to completely destroy it!" Lin Yu said. The three of them quickly approached the Skin Walker, ready to give it a fatal blow...
At this last critical moment, can they successfully eliminate the skin walker and solve the mystery of the disappearance in the Yunnan border town? The tension in the forest reaches its peak, and everything hangs in the balance...
