The team began to quickly retreat, maintaining a compact defense formation.
The black shadow drifted and wandered along the surrounding rock walls, emitting bursts of weird laughter.
Yet it seemed wary of the crowd and did not immediately pounce.
But those ghastly green glimmers flickered uncertainly in the darkness, resembling the eyes of a fierce wolf.
Just as everyone was about to exit the cavern and return to the narrow lane—
"Hehe—"
An icy voice suddenly sounded at the very tail end of the team.
The black shadow was seen pouncing at extreme speed toward the last clone walking at the back!
This time it wasn't pressing on a back, but rather submerging entirely into the body of Lin Ershi San.
Lin Ershi San shuddered violently all over, as if struck by lightning.
His gaze instantly turned hollow and lifeless, his pupils dilating and losing their focus.
The next second, a bizarre and ferocious grin broke across his face as he abruptly drew his waist knife.
A cold flash!
He viciously stabbed toward Lin Shi Wu, who was walking right in front of him and completely unprepared!
"Pfft!"
The blade pierced into flesh and blood splattered.
"Ah—!" Lin Shi Wu let out a miserable cry, his right hand tightly clutching his flank.
Blood gushed out in streams from between his fingers, instantly staining his coarse cloth tunic black and dripping onto the ground.

"My body is out of control! That ghost thing... is inside my body! Save me!" Lin Ershi San's painful cry came through the Consciousness Link.
"Lin Ershi San has been possessed!" Lin San cried out in alarm.
The possessed Lin Ershi San wore a bizarre, ferocious grin on his face, waving his knife to hack at others once more.
