Listening to the ancients shouting nonsense, I became increasingly panicked.
It wasn't because of the fat man's intimidating presence, but mainly because of the bunch of people inside shouting incessantly.
It makes me feel very sad.
However, even in this critical situation, I couldn't let Lei Jijian take too many risks.
After all, judging by how terrifying these guys are, they could go berserk at any moment, and this fat guy also seems to be on the verge of collapse.
It felt like they were about to glare down at us and charge at any moment.
I remember very clearly that when the fat guy first started jumping towards us, I didn't notice him at all.
The girl and I even thought we could go straight into the mural, but the next second the fat man slammed both fists into our backs.
If the girl hadn't pulled me away in time, I might be a corpse by now!
"The fat man seems even angrier now."
I watched as this guy stopped paying attention to his cane and instead shifted his body forcefully.
He no longer had that staggering feeling from before; instead, it was as if some brute force was pulling him along.
Suddenly, the back of the fat man's suit opened up with a whoosh, and the dark black fabric looked like a cape being blown by the wind!
My mind went completely blank. Seriously? How could this guy have something like that?!
Logically speaking, he has always been throwing tantrums in front of us, and he has always been the one passively taking the beatings.
Moreover, no matter how stiff or strong his suit is, it doesn't pose much of a danger to us.
But now it seems that this guy is using the suit as a cape.
Wow, he's actually quite clever. I don't know if he came up with this on his own or if we triggered some kind of mechanism.
But I knew very well that we hadn't touched anything special during our half-day fight.
The next second, the cloak was hanging heavily behind him, its width completely covering most of his back.
Even more outrageous is that the unfolded suit was covered with densely packed bluish-white insect scales, showing no signs of oxidation whatsoever.
I wondered to myself, did this thing somehow bring all the bugs off its body back at once?!
It feels like all the bugs on his body have been completely replaced.
What I found even more absurd was that his clothes, which were clearly slashed by the lightning sword, now looked brand new!
"Lightning Strike Sword, you should have felt it too, right..."
I silently asked Lei Jijian in my heart, knowing that he would also find this scene extremely shocking.
But at this point I had to tell him, since this kind of battle information also needs to be shared.
Lei Jijian was still standing there, slowly gathering his strength and looking for an opportunity.
But after hearing what I said, he looked over and immediately looked very uncomfortable.
"Master... could it be that all those attacks were wasted?"
Lei Jijian couldn't help but speak up.
Even more outrageous, the white insect armor on this guy's cloak was now gleaming with a unique light under the dim glow of the secret room.
That feeling was like a warning to us, reminding us that we should always be on the defensive.
But how can we retreat now?
After all, if we back down even a little bit now, we might fall into this fat man's trap.
He might be trying to use this bluffing tactic to get us to leave directly.
If he kills us or does something else the moment we enter the gap, that would be troublesome!
My biggest worry was that the fat man might just push us straight into that crevice.
At this point, we were no longer entering a safe place, but rather we were unwittingly drawn into the world within the painting!
I thought to myself, if that's the case, then all our experiences along the way have been for nothing.
I'm thinking that after all this effort, we finally found Blue Armor and managed to repair the Dewdrop Branch on our bodies...
But if we accidentally stumble into the painting here, then we would truly be doomed to die here!
This painting doesn't look like a benevolent image to me at all.
Moreover, although this fat man was a negligible little frog in the mural, he now looks quite mature.
This thing has likely been inside the painting for hundreds or even thousands of years.
I absolutely do not want to go inside. The next second, I shared my thoughts with the girl, and she became very alert after hearing what I said.
"Brother, if that's the case, then we really need to pay attention to this guy's every move. We should try our best to avoid doing what he wants us to do!"
The girl also spoke slowly.
I nodded. Indeed, at this moment, whatever Fatty asked us to do, or guided us to do, we had to be on high alert and extremely vigilant.
"He's using his suit as a shield!"
At this moment, the girl spoke slowly again, carefully examining the fat man's clothes, and then she understood what was going on.
After hearing what Yiyi said, I suddenly understood.
Indeed, his cloak might not necessarily be a signal that he is about to attack us; rather, it could be a sign that he is adopting a defensive posture.
After all, his suit was completely covered by his body just now, but now it seems that his suit is not only not covered, but is completely exposed.
In other words, he deliberately exposed his weaknesses to mislead us into attacking this place.
On the other hand, the way his suit jacket was opened definitely provided stronger defense!
The girl quickly pulled me back two steps, afraid of being hit by the unfolded suit jacket.
After I mentioned the insects on the back, the girl nodded and then spoke.
"Yes, the insect shells on the back look brand new, they haven't been oxidized, so they seem to be very strong!"
I stared at the cloak, a sense of unease creeping into my heart.
Previously, I only noticed that the edge of the suit was oxidized and cut by the lightning sword, but I didn't realize that there were so many new insect armors on the back of the entire suit.
Although this fat man looks very clumsy now, he is much more cautious than we imagined.
This guy probably already has the last half of his suit as his trump card.
