After saying this, Jiang Fan slowly stood up and walked towards the direction where the voice came from.
At first, he didn't notice anything special, but then Jiang Fan suddenly spotted a shadow. This shadow was the one that had been following Jiang Fan and his companions all along, and its combat power was incredibly terrifying.
When he was killed by those plants, Jiang Fan thought he wouldn't follow them again. He didn't expect that he wasn't dead at the time and now seemed completely fine.
If he discovered Jiang Fan and them were here, wouldn't they be finished?
Seeing this, Jiang Fan immediately returned to his tent. He knew that if he tried to escape towards the gate now, it would be extremely dangerous. He could only stay here. Either he would kill the shadow, or he would have to face that enormous army.
"No, we can't get caught in the Hukaro world. If we get caught, the idea of getting out will become impractical. There's only one way now: deal with this shadow. There's no other option."
After saying this, Jiang Fan went to face the shadow alone.
If he let Zhou Niannian and Dai Xiaomei accompany him now, it would only be a burden. The best way was for him to handle this shadow himself.
Jiang Fan followed the shadow into a jungle. The shadow seemed to have noticed Jiang Fan following it, then turned back to look at Jiang Fan. Although it had no eyes, Jiang Fan could feel it staring at him.
"Why have you been following us all this way?"
After Jiang Fan asked this, the shadow made no move, just waiting for Jiang Fan to approach. Jiang Fan also raised his hand slowly and walked forward. His heart was pounding with anxiety because the shadow in front of him was like a ghost, extremely terrifying. If he were suddenly attacked, it would be disastrous.
What exactly is this thing? Why is it following us? If it attacks me, won't I be doomed?
Jiang Fan also wanted to run, but it didn't seem like the right time to escape. After all, his teammates were still there, and it would be too dangerous to escape from here. The Hukaro world people outside were hunting their team everywhere.
Suddenly, the shadow attacked Jiang Fan. This time, it was no longer a two-dimensional flat image but a three-dimensional one.
Although it was a black shape, it was semi-transparent, making it impossible for Jiang Fan to attack it. However, Jiang Fan still chose to confront it head-on.
Compared to this strange shadow, Jiang Fan was even more unwilling to face that massive army.
At least fighting the current opponent offered a sliver of hope. If he were targeted by that vast army, it would be certain death. After all, the army was numerous, and fighting them would be a pipe dream, like a single person trying to fight a tank barehanded; it would be like living in a dream.
Jiang Fan tried to charge at it with his axe, but it showed no fear of Jiang Fan's attacks. Jiang Fan swung his axe down, and although he could feel that he had hit it, it felt like hitting a rock.
Jiang Fan's frantic attacks were useless. The shadow also constantly attacked Jiang Fan. Although it was transparent, when it struck Jiang Fan, Jiang Fan felt like he had been hit by a steel pipe.
"Damn it, this damage is too terrifying! If this continues, I won't be able to harm it at all, and I'll be beaten to death instead."
Jiang Fan realized the seriousness of the problem. He remembered that the plants and trees had swallowed it last time, thus killing it. This time, Jiang Fan didn't know how to deal with the shadow in front of him.
"No, if this continues, I'm definitely no match for it."
Jiang Fan muttered to himself, then launched another attack on the shadow. This time, Jiang Fan was just testing the effect of his attack on it.
But when he saw that the shadow completely ignored his attacks, he quickly realized that attacking the shadow was useless because it was not afraid at all.
"This can't go on."
Jiang Fan muttered to himself and then ran to the side.
Fortunately, the forest was large, which allowed Jiang Fan to quickly evade its pursuit. Jiang Fan immediately took out a bottle of alcohol from his backpack and tore off a piece of his clothes, wrapping it around his axe.
"If it's a shadow, it should be afraid of these things. Even gold and steel fear the burning of flames, so I'll try to see what you're afraid of."
Rather than waiting for death, Jiang Fan preferred to try a new approach than engage in a battle with no chance of winning. This was the only way he could possibly defeat it.
At this moment, Yao also chased out from the side. Seeing Jiang Fan, he knew Jiang Fan was in a fight.
"What's going on? What are you fighting? Why didn't you wake us up?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Fan immediately looked around and then said to Yao.
"Be careful, that shadow is catching up. I don't know how to defeat it, so I can only ask you to hide in the tent for now. It doesn't seem to actively search inside the tent, so I decided to defeat it first before worrying about anything else."
Hearing this, Yao looked at Jiang Fan's actions and understood what Jiang Fan intended to do. He immediately pulled off a strip of his clothes, tied it to his weapon, sprinkled alcohol on it, and lit it.
"In that case, let's fight it together."
Jiang Fan quickly nodded after hearing this. After all, Yao's combat strength was quite good, not much different from his own. Therefore, fighting together might help with the current situation.
"Be careful, its body is like steel. If you don't want your weapon to be damaged by it, it's best to use a lighter touch and just let the flames splash onto its body."
