the only savior

Chapter 10 Facing the Shadow
"Damn, there is a problem, there is definitely a problem here!"

Zhang Xiaoman's heart rang loudly, and he turned his head to look behind him subconsciously.

I saw that the road when I came here was gone, and it was pitch black that caught my eye.

Everything around seemed to be shrouded in darkness, making it impossible to see, even the moon in the sky was blocked by twisted trees.

Seeing this, how could he not understand what happened? This is another strange encounter with him!

Zhang Xiaoman immediately ran towards the back.

It's just that no matter how he runs, the surrounding environment doesn't seem to have changed in any way, as if he is standing still.

The darkness is still the same, the road when it came was only less than ten meters, but now it seems to be stretched infinitely, and no matter how much you run, you can't get out.

"No, no..."

Zhang Xiaomanqiang calmed himself down and looked at the environment around him.

It was pitch black all around, and the field of vision was extremely limited, making it impossible to see the scenery in the distance.

The twisted trees were accompanied by rotting silt, and the stench wafted from all directions.

He had already run for at least a few hundred meters just now. The normal small island in the lake is not that big at all, so he should have gone out long ago.

Zhang Xiaoman knew that he might have encountered an illusion like a ghost hitting a wall, or some strange realm that restricted his actions.

Holding the holy water in his hand tightly, he began to think about whether to close his eyes and step back, maybe this would break the illusion.

But after trying it for a while, it was still useless, the surrounding scene remained the same, and he was not able to exit the island in the lake as expected.

Zhang Xiaoman was furious, but suddenly heard a series of miserable howls.

"Ooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!"

The eerie silence was broken, and in the light of his flashlight, a yellow figure suddenly ran out of the darkness.

Before he had time to react, he saw that the figure had come to him, and then he rushed towards the road where he came without stopping, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Jinbao!?"

Zhang Xiaoman has already recovered his senses at this moment. Wasn't it his own dog Jinbao who ran over just now.

It's just that he didn't wait for him to wonder, and the scene that happened in the next second completely changed his face.

I saw that the position originally irradiated by the flashlight was suddenly covered with a shadow.

And this shadow is still expanding rapidly, almost occupying a large area after a while.

Zhang Xiaoman's eyes widened, he was horrified to find that the shape of this shadow was the same as his own!
In other words, it is his own shadow!
"I rely on!!"

He roared wildly in his heart, knowing that he had finally met the righteous master.

Looking at the shadow on the wall not far away that was exactly the same as him, and watching its increasingly distorted strange movements, Zhang Xiaoman felt as if his heart was about to stop.

Without any hesitation, he quickly stepped back.

However, no matter how he ran, the darkness around him remained the same, and the shadow followed him like a maggot on the tarsus.

Zhang Xiaoman put his hand into his pocket, he was about to start Hearthstone and run away.

It's just that after rubbing for ten seconds, the surrounding scene was still the same, and he was shocked to find that he was still in place.

The illusion created by the unknown existence is still there, and it is still dark as far as the eye can see.

Zhang Xiaoman didn't know whether it was the existence of the illusion that blocked the Hearthstone's performance, or he was affected by the monster's continuous mental fluctuations and interrupted the Hearthstone's casting. In short, the most urgent thing now is to leave here as soon as possible.

He ran right away, although he might not be able to get out of this illusion, but at least he couldn't stop here and wait for death.

Zhang Xiaoman ran wildly while continuing to rub the hearthstone.

He didn't know if he stopped, the monster would pounce on it.

Although I hold holy water in my hand, this thing has not been tested at all, and I don't know if it will work. It can only be regarded as a psychological comfort.

Moreover, the holy water is packed in a bottle, and that little dose can't be poured far at all. I'm afraid it will be all sprinkled on the ground before it hits the monster.

Just as he was fleeing, Zhang Xiaoman suddenly felt his body stiffen, and then he was horrified to find that his legs could not move.

The sudden stop of action caused him to be affected by the forward momentum, and his upper body suddenly fell forward, but the strange thing was that his lower body remained standing, which made Zhang Xiaoman flinch and gasped in pain.

"Can't stop!"

There was only one thought left in his mind, and he tried hard to break through this limitation.

But no matter how hard he tried, his body seemed to be disobedient, and he couldn't do it no matter what.

Zhang Xiaoman only felt that he was gradually losing consciousness starting from his legs, as if his body was being slowly occupied.

This terrifying feeling almost makes people collapse.

As soon as he lowered his head, he followed the twisted shadow not far away to look at the ground, and then saw his feet from the shadow on the ground.

At this moment, he seemed to understand that he was probably being controlled by the ghost-like thing in front of him.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help trembling a little.

This run is not allowed to run, what should I do! ?

He instantly thought of the holy water in his hand, and now it seems that he can only pin his hopes on it.

Unfortunately, he only had time to open the bottle cap of the holy water, and then his arms, like his legs, could no longer move.

No matter how hard he tried, how hard he struggled, it seemed that he couldn't get rid of this constraint, and the whole person only had the head to turn.

"Uh... ah..."

He wanted to exclaim, but the sound was stuck in his throat and couldn't come out.

The shadow in the distance also began to have a new movement, and I saw it slowly slide down and slowly move to the ground.

Then, in his horrified eyes, he gradually approached him...

"Ten meters...five meters...three meters..."

The shadow of the human figure waded over like flowing water, and there was a wave of fluctuations.

Immediately afterwards, a translucent black claws stretched out from it and slowly approached him.

The moment Zhang Xiaoman's brain saw the hand, there was a buzzing sound.
He felt that in his mind, suddenly there were countless terrifying and strange faces twisting.

It seemed that there were bursts of piercing mourning, and a chaotic and manic mood raged in his consciousness.

"No...no...I can't give up..."

The only remaining thoughts are still struggling, and he can't even give birth to despair, and some only have the last desire to survive.

"Wang Wang Wang!!!"

Just at this critical moment, he felt a familiar bark coming from his ear.

Far away, yet so close!
"Ow!"

A yellow figure suddenly sprang out from behind, flew up without hesitation, and rushed towards the sharp claws sticking out from the shadow.
