Zhuhai Sanzhuxiang Building (center)
The ghostly figure lunged at him, claws and fangs bared, its speed so fast it resembled a flash of black lightning streaking through the dim passage. Lin Yu quickly dodged to the side, his weapon slashing at the figure's arm. The moment the weapon made contact, there was a swish, as if striking tough leather, but it failed to cause any substantial damage. Lin Yu felt a chill running down his arm, numbing it with cold.
"How can this thing be so tough!" Lin Yu frowned, secretly surprised. He knew that his opponent was no ordinary one, and this would be an extremely difficult battle. His heartbeat was accelerating, each beat a reminder of the approaching danger. But as the backbone of the team, he had to remain calm and think of a response.
Seeing this, Ouyang Zhenghao thrust his spear at the figure's leg from the side. However, just like Lin Yu's attack, the weapon's impact only caused a series of sparks to fly, failing to injure the opponent at all. "This guy is completely invulnerable!" Ouyang Zhenghao shouted anxiously, a flicker of despair in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination. He knew that in this dangerous situation, retreat would only lead to death, and he had to give it his all.
Chen Yao dodged the figure's random attacks while rapidly observing its movement patterns. Her eyes betrayed concentration and contemplation. As an expert in the occult, she sought to identify flaws in Shen Ying's attack patterns. "Lin Yu, Ouyang, its attacks may seem ferocious, but there seems to be a pattern. Before each attack, it leans forward slightly. We can exploit this gap to counterattack," Chen Yao shouted, nimbly weaving through the passage, dodging the figure's sharp claws. At this moment, she felt a mixture of nervousness and excitement: nervousness at the danger she faced, excitement at finally discovering some clues to her response.
After hearing Chen Yao's prompt, Lin Yu quickly adjusted his strategy. "Ouyang, let's listen to Chen Yao. Pay close attention to its movements and strike when the time is right," Lin Yu shouted, his eyes fixed on the figure, ready to seize any fleeting opportunity. His mind was racing, thinking about how to deliver a fatal blow while ensuring his own safety.
Ouyang Zhenghao took a deep breath and nodded. "Alright, watch me!" Ouyang Zhenghao rushed towards the figure again. This time, he didn't attack blindly, but deliberately provoked the figure to attract his attention. As expected, the figure was enraged and turned to pounce on Ouyang Zhenghao, leaning forward slightly and extending his claws.
"Now!" Lin Yu seized the opportunity and rushed towards the figure like a black lightning, raising his weapon high and slashing at the figure's neck. However, the figure seemed to sense the danger and turned its head at the last moment. Lin Yu's weapon only grazed its shoulder, leaving a shallow mark. A black smoke emerged from the wound, accompanied by a pungent stench of decay.
"Lin Yu, be careful of its counterattack!" Chen Yao shouted anxiously. Before she finished speaking, the figure roared angrily and swung his other arm towards Lin Yu. Lin Yu couldn't dodge and was hit in the chest. He flew backwards and fell heavily to the ground, blood spurting out of his mouth.
"Lin Yu!" Ouyang Zhenghao and Shen Yao exclaimed, and they quickly ran to Lin Yu's side. Lin Yu struggled to stand up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said, "I'm fine. This guy is too cunning. We can't attack blindly like this anymore." Lin Yu's eyes revealed determination. Despite his physical injuries, his fighting spirit was not extinguished.
At this moment, the figure stood still and let out a sinister laugh that echoed through the passage, sending chills down one's spine. "You foolish humans, how dare you trespass here? Today is your death!" The figure finally spoke, his voice as harsh as frosted glass, as if emanating from the Netherworld.
"Who the hell are you? Why are you causing trouble here?" Chen Yao asked loudly. She tried to find some clues from Chen Ying's words to solve the mystery of this building.
The figure sneered and said, "What am I? I am a wronged soul sealed in this building, awakened by you ignorant humans. The construction of this building has destroyed the feng shui here, triggered an ancient curse, and made me restless. Don't even think about leaving alive!" After the figure finished speaking, he pounced on them again.
Lin Yu and the other two quickly dispersed, dodging the figure's attacks. As Lin Yu dodged, he pondered the figure's words. "Chen Yao, it says the building has triggered an ancient curse. This may be the key to solving the mystery. We need to find clues related to the curse. Maybe we can find a way to restrain it," Lin Yu shouted, nimbly dodging the figure's claws.
Chen Yao nodded and said, "Okay, I'll pay attention to the surrounding environment to see if there is anything unusual. You guys continue to attract its attention." After Chen Yao finished speaking, he began to look around in the passage, hoping to find some clues related to the curse.
Ouyang Zhenghao rushed towards the figure again, engaging in a fierce struggle with it. He kept waving his weapon, trying to restrain the figure's movements and buy time for Chen Yao. The figure's attacks became more and more fierce, and Ouyang Zhenghao gradually began to feel powerless, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted.
Chen Yao searched the passage carefully when she suddenly discovered some strange symbols carved into the wall. They were twisted and eerie, emitting a mysterious aura. "Lin Yu, Ouyang, come and take a look! These symbols might be related to a curse!" Chen Yao shouted excitedly.
Lin Yu and Ouyang Zhenghao heard Shen Yao's cry and quickly moved towards Shen Yao. The figure seemed to have sensed their intentions and accelerated the pace of the attack, trying to prevent them from getting close to Shen Yao.
