Chapter 366 We'll have to resort to some extraordinary measures.
Am I from this side?
Lin Fan stood there, staring blankly in the direction he had come from.
Although he hadn't paid much attention to his surroundings when he arrived, he couldn't help but doubt himself as he looked at the forest that was now covered by dense black bushes.
When he first arrived at this open space, he clearly remembered not seeing any black bushes.
And now...
What the heck are these extra bushes?
unless……
As if he had thought of something, Lin Fan's eyes narrowed.
Is this forest forcing them to go in?
The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed, and immediately...
"Get up, all of you."
Lin Fan looked into the depths of the Black Forest.
"Follow me. Go inside."
"Inwards?"
Upon hearing this, someone's eyes widened. "Young Master Lin, isn't it even more dangerous going in?"
"No, it's dangerous to go outside."
Lin Fan shone the flashlight into the darkness.
"If what you say is true, then I suspect those shadowy figures are trying to force you into the inner circle. If you want to survive, you have no choice but to go to the inner circle; it's the only place with a chance..."
Upon hearing Lin Fan's explanation, the five people looked at each other, unsure of what to do.
"You chose to believe me."
Lin Fan looked at everyone and said, "Or do you still want to stay here and wait to die?"
There was a few seconds of silence.
Domingo was the first to stand up, demonstrating his point through his actions.
Seeing that the bishop had stood up, the other four had no choice but to stand up as well.
"Let's go." Lin Fan turned around, the beam of his flashlight piercing the darkness. "Stay close, don't fall behind."
After saying that, he walked into the depths without hesitation, and the five people followed suit.
In the pitch-black forest, the group slowly crept forward, covering about two hundred meters.
Lin Fan suddenly stopped.
Seeing this, Domingo, who was following behind him, asked with a heavy heart.
Lin Fan, who was standing in front, did not speak, but instead shone his flashlight to the left.
Seeing this, Domingo also subconsciously looked in that direction, and the next moment, his eyes widened in shock.
To their left, in a clearing in the woods, stood a dark figure.
The dark figure appeared somewhat unstable in the flashlight beam.
Even so, he could still make out the dark figure. Only when he faced the figure directly did he realize that it had no face, no features.
It was a pure black humanoid figure, standing there quietly.
Not moving at all.
Upon seeing this, the five people behind Lin Fan simultaneously gasped in shock.
"Don't move," Lin Fan whispered. "If it doesn't move, we won't move either."
Even without Lin Fan's prompting, Domingo and his group of five didn't intend to move. At this moment, they were all terrified by the strange figure.
Previously, when they encountered the shadowy figures, they were only focused on escaping and hadn't paid any attention to these things.
Now, facing this eerie black shadow, I don't know why, but I feel as if my soul is about to be sucked into it.
ten seconds.
Twenty seconds.
Thirty seconds.
Time passed slowly, but the shadowy figure remained motionless.
Fine beads of cold sweat gradually appeared on the foreheads of Domingo and the others.
However, compared to Domingo and the others, Lin Fan, who was standing at the front, felt a different sensation as he stared at the dark figure.
Although the dark figure had no distinguishing features, for some reason, it gave him a feeling that was...
The other person was slowly turning around and looking at them.
It felt strange, yet very real.
"Back up," Lin Fan said. "Slowly. Don't run."
After saying that, he took the lead and slowly retreated.
The five people, who were already terrified, dared not hesitate for a moment upon seeing this, and they all retreated as well.
One step. Two steps. Three steps.
The shadowy figure's head was still turning.
Just as they retreated about ten meters, the dark figure moved.
It has taken a step.
Heading in their direction.
"Run!" Lin Fan shouted and turned to run.
Five people ran after them.
Lin Fan ran while looking back, the beam of his flashlight flickering violently in the darkness.
The dark figure was chasing them.
But it's not fast.
It's roughly the same speed as a normal person walking briskly.
"That way!"
Lin Fan pointed to the right front.
"There's an open space behind that tree, let's hide there!"
The six men rushed into the open space and stopped with their backs against a large tree.
Lin Fan turned off the flashlight.
Darkness swallowed everything.
They held their breath, listening to the sounds around them.
rustle.
rustle.
It was the sound of footsteps.
But it wasn't the sound of human footsteps.
It's a lighter, softer sound, like something being dragged across the ground.
The sound was getting closer.
Then, it stopped about five meters in front of them.
Lin Fan could sense that the dark figure was there.
It was just five meters away.
He could feel it watching them.
That invisible gaze was heavier than any physical object.
Domingo's breathing began to quicken.
"Don't make a sound," Lin Fan said in a low voice.
The dark figure remained there, motionless.
Time passed by, second by second.
ten seconds.
Twenty seconds.
Thirty seconds.
One minute.
Two minutes.
The shadowy figure remained motionless.
Lin Fan's hand stealthily reached for the flashbang at his waist.
Just then.
He caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye.
About thirty meters behind them, another dark figure appeared.
Then comes the second course.
The third way.
The fourth one.
They surrounded us from all directions.
Lin Fan's heart sank.
"Domingo," he whispered.
"?"
Domingo made an incomprehensible sound from his throat.
"I might not be able to take care of you later; whether you live or die depends on your own fate!"
As he spoke, Lin Fan threw the flashbang he was carrying to the other party.
Domingo caught the flashbang in a flurry of activity. He looked at what he was holding, but didn't speak, nor could he.
He had already witnessed Lin Fan's strength.
Just then, the shadowy figures that had been surrounding them began to move again, all heading in their direction.
Suddenly, the encirclement, which was originally quite large, shrank considerably.
ten meters.
eight meters.
five meters.
In just a few moments, the encirclement shrank to a visible area.
Seeing this, Lin Fan, who was also holding a flashbang, whispered something to the five people:
"Close your eyes."
The five men did not hesitate at all and immediately did as instructed.
Without hesitation, Lin Fan pulled the pin on the flashbang and threw it at the nearest dark figure.
hum-
A blinding white light suddenly burst forth.
The blinding light instantly tore through the darkness, accompanied by a piercing scream that didn't belong to any living being.
After the flashbang's light faded, the nearest dark figure disappeared.
But those on the outer perimeter were still there, with only a few wisps of black smoke emanating from them.
"Grass!"
Seeing this, Lin Fan couldn't help but curse.
Clearly, they hadn't expected that such a bright light would only kill a few shadowy figures.
"It seems we'll have to resort to some drastic measures..."
