Apocalypse: My Apartment Has Traits - Chapter 173 - 150: Black Mountain
Chapter 173: Chapter 150: Black Mountain
“Be careful! It’s coming toward us!!” someone screamed at the top of their lungs.
Su Lin felt a sinking feeling in his heart as he too saw the eerie blackness surge toward them like a living creature!
The slide, the swing… all the facilities began to tilt and sink into the ever-expanding darkness of the black sludge.
At this moment, they finally witnessed the true face of the black sludge, completely understanding the aptness of Chen Xinting’s words: “One glance and you can tell something’s wrong!”
Su Lin felt a chill rush from his spine straight to the top of his head; the sensation brought by the darkness was indescribable—filthy, eerie, deathly still… an uncontrollable fear gripped him!
“Shadow Beast?!” Su Can tightly gripped the Giant Sword, his voice filled with unmistakable shock.
Upon hearing this, Su Lin’s breath caught, his pupils quivering intensely:
“This black sludge… it’s exactly like the Shadow Beast!!”
Rumble —!!!
A thunderous explosion sounded, akin to a landslide and earthquake!
The entire Dragon Head Mountain shook violently. The weaker Skin Lock Martial Artists in the Hunting Group staggered helplessly.
In the terrified eyes of the crowd, loomed a… pitch-black mountain!
“Quick—run—!!” Liu Jun’s voice trembled uncontrollably.
Everyone fled backward in terror!
Only Su Can advanced instead of retreating, his expression as solemn as a mountain, raising the Giant Sword defiantly!
Boom—!
The energy of his Qi and Blood exploded like a vast ocean, soaring to the heavens!
The surrounding thick mist was blasted open by this massive force, the view suddenly widened!
And the true face of the black mountain was clearly revealed before everyone’s eyes.
Majestic, towering, exuding an aura of terrifying hopelessness!
“You call this black sludge?!!” Xu Zhong, filled with rage and shock, yelled furiously at Chen Xinting.
Chen Xinting had escaped to the distance, his face frozen with disbelief as he looked back at the towering black mountain:
“…I hadn’t seen its full form before…”
“What the heck is this thing?!”
“This time the Lord is this kind of monster???”
“How do we fight it?!”
“If we can’t kill it… on the Night of Survival in a few days…”
The chilling fear froze everyone’s blood, despair spreading like a palpable presence.
Liu Jun gritted his teeth, having lost his weapon earlier, now holding a large knife that didn’t suit him, he swung it with all his might at the black mountain!
Scritch—
The large knife sliced into the black sludge, but it was as if it sank into the sea! The blade was instantly stuck fast by the viscous darkness, greedily devoured!
Liu Jun was horrified, struggling desperately to retrieve it, but couldn’t break free!
As the black sludge spread up the blade, he had no choice but to abandon the knife and escape in disgrace.
Su Can’s first attack held nothing back!
The full-force strike of a First-Transformed Martial Artist, carrying the momentum of overturned seas and mountains!
The air was compressed and torn apart by the edge of the sword, erupting with a deafening roar!
Boom ————!!!
The Giant Sword fiercely cleaved into the black sludge!
Su Can’s expression changed dramatically!
His full-force strike seemed to cut into an unfathomable mire!
Aside from briefly halting the black mountain’s creeping advance and splattering a few drops of black sludge, the massive black mountain paused for a few seconds and continued crushing toward them!
“Damn it!” Su Can swore angrily, unwillingly slashing two more times.
The result was the same!
The black mountain remained unmoved!
For a moment, they were helpless against this gigantic monster?!
“What the heck is this monstrosity?!”
Just then—!
“Ah—!!!”
A scream, sorrowful to the extreme, suddenly tore through the air!
Su Lin whipped his head around, horrified to see a team member suddenly lifted into the air!
Everyone was dumbstruck, watching him struggle futilely in midair.
Then—snap!!
A skin-crawling, heart-rending sound of bones and flesh tearing echoed!
The scream abruptly ceased!
The upper half of the team member’s body disappeared before their eyes!
Two severed arms fell to the ground!
The struggling legs hung powerlessly.
The terrified crowd saw, at the base of the severed neck, a row of clear and menacing… giant bite marks!
Something…
A cloaked monster was biting!
Su Lin’s heart thundered in his chest, the intense pounding deafening in his ears.
It seemed as if hallucinations were whispering in his ears, countless deep, malicious murmurs flickered in the mist.
His mouth was slightly open, heavy panting laced with the scent of blood.
“Ah——!!!”
Another piercing scream!
The headless corpse was casually discarded, another teammate was lifted by the invisible giant claw, feet off the ground, struggling helplessly!
Su Lin finally reacted this time!
He abruptly shut his mouth, his eyes wide open with extreme anger and shock!
In a vague glimpse, with his remarkable sight, he seemed to see a faint outline in the mist blown away by his grandpa.
Taking a few heavy breaths, Su Lin gritted his teeth, tightly gripping the bamboo pole blade, his whole body sprinting out like an arrow from the bow!
“Su Lin!!” Ye Xin’an cried out in horror, reaching out to stop him.
But Su Lin’s speed was at its peak! A subtle arc of lightning flickered across his limbs!
He transformed into a blur of shadow, sprinting a few steps, then stomping fiercely on the ground, leveraging his body to soar into the air!
Boom————!
A thunderclap erupted from the flat ground!
Su Lin leaped several meters high, delivering a thunderous slash, enveloping his entire Qi and Blood and resolve, fiercely towards the wrist of that invisible giant claw!
“Ugh ah——!” The teammate who was being lifted screamed, his body suddenly losing weight and falling.
Beside him, the vice-captain Tian Ruicheng reacted swiftly, lunging forward to catch him, sprinting frantically towards safety without looking back!
“Hit it!” Su Lin’s heart was elated!
Falling from the air, he rolled to absorb the impact, then frantically retreated without pausing.
His facial muscles twitched involuntarily from tension and excitement, his heart pounding relentlessly in his chest.
“Linzi!”
Su Qi’s figure flashed to his side like a phantom, catching his arm in shock and anger.
“You were too reckless!”
Su Lin was breathing harshly, about to explain, when he suddenly stared straight at the distant black mountain.
The enormous black mountain, as if feeling intense pain, suddenly contracted and trembled!
“…The black mountain and black mud aren’t the main body.”
After a moment of silence, he murmured absently.
“What?” Su Qi was taken aback.
Su Lin came to his senses, suddenly shouting:
“The invisible thing is the mountain’s true form!!”
In the distance, Su Can, confronting the black mountain, shook violently upon hearing this!
However, the black mountain seemed to sense danger, suddenly collapsing, transforming into an overwhelming black tide, surging forcefully towards Su Can!
Su Can’s face was as serious as water, no longer attempting to slash, but using the giant sword like a massive shield, fiercely pushing forward with his erupting Qi and Blood!
Rumbling——!!!
A colossal phantom, condensed from surging Qi and Blood, crashed into the black tide formed by the mountain!
The violent shockwave exploded, black mud splattering everywhere!
Su Can realized, normal attacks were ineffective against the black mountain, only attacks infused with potent Qi and Blood could barely block it!
This meant, at that moment on the battlefield, he alone had the ability and qualification to directly confront the terrifying black mud!
He gritted his teeth, roaring thunderously:
“I’ll handle this ghostly thing! You guys…find a way to deal with the invisible monster!!”
Everyone’s hearts trembled, despair spreading once more.
Invisible…how to deal with it?!
“Ah——!”
“Save me!!”
Piercing screams resounded one after another!
Su Lin looked around in shock and anger, horrified to discover this time several people were simultaneously dragged off by invisible forces!
That thing…isn’t just one?!!
“Damn it!!” Ye Xin’an watched his team members die one after another, his eyes almost bursting!
Remembering how Su Lin seemed to have injured that invisible beast earlier, his blood surged, and he raised his blade and charged forward, trying to save them!
Thud————
A dull and horrifying tearing sound rang out!
Su Lin turned abruptly upon hearing it, his expression froze instantly.
He saw Ye Xin’an, who was charging forward, had his entire body above the waist…suddenly disappear!
Leaving only spurting blood and two legs powerlessly falling to the ground…
Ye Xin’an’s seemingly laughable death left Su Lin’s heart aching fiercely, the shock and anger in his eyes surging madly.
His Qi and Blood unconsciously surged to his eyes, “Observation” was instinctively activated.
He suddenly froze.
Several eerie giants like black mist appeared in his vision.
Su Lin began breathing heavily, abruptly breaking free from his second uncle’s grip, charging up once more.
“Linzi?!” Su Qi was both horrified and fearful upon witnessing Ye Xin’an’s death, and now seeing Su Lin’s “reckless” attack again nearly sent his heart into spasms.
“Use Observation! Second Uncle! Observation will let you see them!!”
