Chapter 508 - 487: First Update
"What are they... going to do?" A frightened voice, undefined as to who uttered it, accurately reflected the mindset of everyone in the camp at that moment.
In the dark, over ten shadowy figures just stood under the night sky, motionless, as were the ghost shadows above. No, not everyone was motionless; outside these shadows, dozens more were slowly approaching the camp. Unhurriedly, each of their steps made one’s scalp tingle.
What’s more, some already took a silent step back. This soundless fear reminded everyone of all that had happened in the camp, giving them an ominous feeling.
"General—" Zhu Ping and Bao Xing immediately flanked General Ling, cautiously observing their surroundings as a tense atmosphere slowly spread.
General Ling watched the approaching shadows with calm. These figures, which had no ghost shadows above their heads, seemed to emanate a terrifying aura silently. He dared not underestimate these shadows and felt that these people might even be more fearsome than those controlling the ghost shadows.
"Ready—" General Ling commanded sharply, prompting the soldiers to brace for battle, with swords and blades gleaming coldly as they were drawn from their sheaths.
The Black Shadow People completely disregarded the camp’s movement, and as the figures drew closer, one could see how fast they were moving, with the cold wind fluttering their sleeves noisily.
The Black Shadow People charged directly at the camp, causing the formation to emit a blinding silver light. They seemed specifically to target the formation, scattering a series of objects toward it, immediately followed by crackling sounds as flames shot up into the air.
The expression on Ju Nanyi’s face changed. Realizing the danger, he yelled loudly for the Fire Order Squad to surge forth, directly towards the Black Shadow People. Zhu Ping also shouted vigorously. Before the others could react, Zhu Ping’s men charged out too, but they were a step too late. The enveloping net had not been cast yet, and the power of the formation had not yet dispersed, causing the charging soldiers to be repelled instantly.
