Zhao Yang stepped forward cautiously, his steps light yet full of vigilance, his weapon slightly raised, ready to strike. "Be careful, there's a trap! These might not be genuine scientific researchers," Zhao Yang whispered, his eyes filled with suspicion and vigilance. In this cavernous place, anything seemingly normal could conceal a great danger.
Just as Zhao Yang approached the figure, it suddenly turned slowly. A face as pale as paper appeared before them. Its eyes were empty, like two deep black holes, devoid of any life. Its lips were bloodless and cracked like dry earth. The expression on its face was twisted and strange, as if it had suffered the most cruel torture in the world. Pain, fear, and despair intertwined in a chilling mixture.
"Ah!" Ye Li couldn't help but cry out in shock. She was so frightened by the terrifying face before her that she stepped back repeatedly, her steps faltering, and she almost fell to the ground. Lin Yu and Zhao Yang were also startled by this sudden scene, but with their tenacious will and rich experience, they quickly reacted and took a defensive stance. Lin Yu protected Ye Li behind him, his weapon pointed directly at the strange figure, his eyes filled with vigilance and determination.
"Who the hell are you?" Lin Yu shouted, trying to use his voice to embolden himself and his teammates, while also hoping to get some information from this strange figure. His heartbeat was rapidly accelerating, almost leaping out of his throat. The strange figure before him gave him a strong sense of danger, as if they were facing a demon from hell.
The figure remained silent, simply staring at them silently. Its eyes seemed to reveal a hint of resentment, as if narrating endless pain. Suddenly, it opened its mouth and let out a shrill cry, the sound making their ears buzz, as if threatening to burst their eardrums. Then, the figure pounced towards them, incredibly fast, like a ghost, arriving in front of them in an instant.
"Be careful!" Lin Yu shouted, quickly drawing his weapon and slashing at the oncoming figure. Zhao Yang showed no sign of weakness, brandishing his weapon and stabbing at the figure's legs, attempting to stop its attack. Ye Li, on the side, quickly adjusted the energy detection device, trying to find the figure's weakness. A thrilling battle instantly unfolded in this dark cave. Could they defeat this eerie figure and find the missing scientific researchers? Everything was still unknown, and the tense atmosphere in the cave grew increasingly intense, as if it was about to solidify, almost suffocating...
In the fierce exchange, Lin Yu's weapon struck the figure's arm with a clang, as if striking solid steel, sending a shudder of pain through his arm. The figure seemed insensitive to the pain, swinging his hand back. A powerful force, like a cannonball, struck Lin Yu in the chest, unable to dodge. He flew backward like a kite with a broken string, landing heavily on the ground, blood spurting from his mouth.
"Lin Yu!" Zhao Yang and Ye Li exclaimed, their hearts aching as they rushed over to check on Lin Yu's injuries. But the figure didn't give them a chance, turning and lunging at Zhao Yang, its hands clawing at his throat like sharp claws. Zhao Yang quickly dodged to the side, the claws grazed his cheek, leaving a faint trace of blood.
"This thing is too powerful. Ordinary attacks can't hurt it at all!" Zhao Yang shouted. A flash of anxiety flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination. He knew that retreating at this moment would only lead to death, and he had to go all out.
Ye Li nervously observed the data on the energy detection device. Her brow furrowed, her eyes revealing concentration and thought. "Its energy core is in the chest. The energy reaction there is the strongest. It might be its weak point!" Ye Li shouted loudly, her voice tinged with excitement and nervousness. Excited at finally discovering a possible weakness, yet nervous about whether they could successfully attack that area and defeat this terrifying figure.
Lin Yu struggled to stand up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and looked at the figure with a determined look. "Zhao Yang, you continue to attract its attention. I'll take the opportunity to attack its chest!" Lin Yu shouted, adjusting his breathing and preparing to fight again.
Zhao Yang took a deep breath and charged at the figure again. He brandished his weapon, repeatedly striking at the figure's head and arms, trying to provoke it and draw its attention to him. "Come on! You monster! Come at me if you dare!" Zhao Yang shouted, his voice echoing through the cave, filled with fearless courage.
The figure, enraged, turned and lunged at Zhao Yang, waving his arms wildly. Each swing sent a gust of wind slicing through Zhao Yang like a sharp blade. Zhao Yang nimbly dodged left and right, using the jagged rocks of the cave as cover to engage the figure. But the figure's attacks grew increasingly fierce, and Zhao Yang gradually began to lose strength. He sustained multiple cuts, his clothes stained red with blood.
Lin Yu seized the opportunity and rushed towards the figure like a flash of black lightning. He nimbly shuttled through the chaos, avoiding the figure's flailing limbs, and finally arrived in front of the figure. Lin Yu concentrated all his strength and stabbed the weapon at the figure's chest.
However, just as the weapon was about to pierce the chest, the figure seemed to sense the danger and suddenly dodged to the side. The weapon only grazed its chest, leaving a shallow mark. A black smoke emerged from the wound, accompanied by a pungent and foul smell, as if it was the breath from hell, which made people nauseous.
"Lin Yu, be careful of its counterattack!" Ye Li shouted anxiously. Before she finished speaking, the figure roared angrily, the sound shaking the cave slightly. It stretched out a hand and grabbed Lin Yu fiercely. Lin Yu was unable to dodge and was hit in the shoulder, falling to the ground again.
"What should we do? It's too powerful, we are no match for it!" Zhao Yang shouted, his eyes revealing a hint of despair. At this time, he was exhausted, and the wounds on his body made his movements slow.
Lin Yu struggled to his feet, looking at Zhao Yang and Ye Li with a determined gaze. "We can't give up. There must be another way. Ye Li, take another look at the energy detection device. Are there any other findings? Zhao Yang, let's keep trying to contain it," Lin Yu said. His voice was a little weak, but it was filled with unwavering conviction.
Ye Li quickly checked the energy detection device, a hint of surprise in her eyes. "I've noticed that before it launches an attack, the energy in its chest briefly gathers. We can use this gap to attack it," Ye Li said.
Lin Yu and Zhao Yang nodded, readying themselves for battle once more. However, the figure seemed to sense their plan and its attacks became even more frantic. Its swift movements through the cave were dazzling. Could they seize this brief window of opportunity, successfully attack its weaknesses, and defeat this terrifying being? The atmosphere in the cave was tense to the extreme, as if it would explode at any moment...
