In a flash of lightning!
The dark shadow lunged forward, and Bai Ye sharply turned his body, gripping the Frost Condensing Sword and sweeping it with force.
The shadow was instantly sliced open, falling to the ground before quickly merging into one and rapidly retracting backward.
Bai Ye moved forward without hesitation, drawing the Dragon's Roar, pulling back the bolt, and firing at the dark shadow.
*Bang!*
As the trigger was pulled, the plum-shaped muzzle of the Dragon's Roar rotated, and five beams of azure light erupted.
After the gunshot, five craters the size of a normal human head appeared on the ground.
The power was undeniable, a testament to futuristic technology. If it had hit a person, it would likely have torn them to shreds.
However, it had no effect on the shadow. The shadow rapidly retreated, soon disappearing into the darkness.
Bai Ye strode forward, quickly discovering that this tent-like structure was a hall of mirrors. Various distorted mirrors confronted him.
Bai Ye's body was stretched, then fattened, constantly deforming, appearing somewhat comical.
But at this moment...
Bai Ye walked past a hall of mirrors, and his reflection did not appear in it.
Bai Ye decisively sidestepped and pulled the trigger again.
With a *swish*, accompanied by five energy beams illuminating the surroundings, the mirror was instantly shattered.
"Playing games with me?" Bai Ye raised the Dragon's Roar and slowly paced forward, saying, "Come out again if you dare!"
Although there were supervisors outside the structure, it was not entirely safe inside.
This was a supernatural zone, so it was obvious that forbidden areas here would surely harbor eerie supernatural creatures, doing everything they could to kill people!
Bai Ye shouted as he continued to walk forward.
Suddenly, two snake-like shadows reappeared behind Bai Ye, still attempting a sneak attack, slowly closing in on him from behind.
But Bai Ye, as if he had eyes in the back of his head, spun around and pulled the trigger.
*Bang!*
The muzzle of the Dragon's Roar turned, and five beams of light once again struck the ground, pulverizing it, while the shadows rapidly retreated and vanished without a trace.
Bai Ye carefully observed his surroundings, wondering what those shadows were.
In his previous life, Bai Ye couldn't claim to have seen all the ghosts in the Death Amusement Park, but he had certainly seen sixty to seventy percent of them. In Bai Ye's memory, there didn't seem to be any ghosts that could transform into shadows.
As Bai Ye pondered, he began to slowly retreat, then suddenly burst forward, kicking the glass on the side.
The glass instantly shattered, and at the moment of its destruction, two dark shadows appeared and quickly retreated.
Bai Ye curled his lips, not showing any urgency.
He had a way to lock them down, and the method was quite simple. If they were paying attention, they should have noticed that the Frost Condensing Sword, which had been hovering around Bai Ye, was now gone.
Bai Ye had utilized the sword's "Frost Illusion"!
During the first encounter, Bai Ye had reacted purely on instinct. Then, Bai Ye discovered that the shadow had substance when it was struck.
Substance meant a physical form. Therefore, after transforming the sword into frost, he spread the frost mist around. As long as the dark shadow came into contact with the frost mist, Bai Ye would detect it immediately.
Compared to dealing with the shadows, Bai Ye was more curious about what they were. After several attacks, Bai Ye realized that these things didn't seem to be ghosts from the Death Amusement Park.
As Bai Ye thought, he slowly observed his surroundings, but the opponent was exceptionally cautious, continuously lurking and never attacking easily.
Bai Ye pondered for a moment, then suddenly turned and pulled the trigger again.
The Dragon's Roar fired energy beams, shattering another hall of mirrors.
The next instant, Bai Ye lowered the muzzle, making a motion as if to replace the energy crystal.
Weren't they cautious?
Caution implied a low attack frequency and a greater cherishing of each attack opportunity.
So, he would present a vulnerability to them and see if they could resist.
As expected, the moment Bai Ye lowered his gun, two dark shadows darted around a hall of mirrors and lunged towards Bai Ye.
Bai Ye looked up, a smile playing on his lips.
He had lured them out!
"Hexagonal Prism Shield!"
A hexagonal transparent shield suddenly appeared in front of Bai Ye, and he grabbed it.
*Bang, bang!*
The two shadows collided with the Hexagonal Prism Shield, emitting dull thuds.
The next instant, Bai Ye violently raised the Dragon's Roar!
He wasn't actually going to replace the energy crystal!
*Bang!*
The Dragon's Roar fired, five energy beams spraying forward, shattering the hall of mirrors. Immediately, ać ç cry rang out.
A man, clutching his shoulder, retreated continuously. His right arm had been grazed by an energy beam, turning to ash, becoming a pile of bloody, mangled fragments and bone dust.
"So that's how it is!" Bai Ye said, "Someone from the ability world? Those two dark shadows must be your abilities!"
Bai Ye strode forward, aiming his gun at the man.
The man looked at Bai Ye in terror and shouted, "Don't kill me! If you kill me, you'll be haunted by a spirit from behind. I didn't get a ghost card..."
*Bang!*
Bai Ye ignored him completely and pulled the trigger.
Five energy beams struck the man's chest, and his chest exploded. The entire chest was blown apart, flesh and blood flying everywhere. Then, a head and the lower half of his body crashed to the ground.
Then...
Bai Ye suddenly froze!
The opponent had been blown to smithereens by a single shot, surely dead beyond any doubt, but...
Bai Ye had not obtained a fragment of the God Stone!
This meant that the man had been telling the truth; he hadn't obtained a ghost card and wasn't a ghost at all.
"What's going on?"
If he wasn't a ghost, why did he attack him?
At the same time...
A black smoke rose from behind Bai Ye, slowly condensing behind him.
The spirit from behind had arrived!
Bai Ye spat on the ground and cursed at the half-corpse, "What the hell! If you're not a ghost, why attack randomly!"
Bai Ye felt he had been tricked, inexplicably so. But sometimes, things weren't that complicated. The participant from the ability world had simply seen Bai Ye before. He, like Bai Ye, had recently arrived in the Red Soil Swamp. Previously, he had been at Mount Bagua and had also entered the Tomb of King Huai Nan, knowing that Bai Ye possessed fragments of the God Stone.
Given that, wasn't it normal to try and kill him?
Even if killing with a human card required a price, the fragments of the God Stone were an irresistible temptation. And then...
He had gotten himself killed!
Bai Ye, purely out of bad luck, cursed and turned to run, taking advantage of the spirit from behind still condensing to create some distance.
