Chapter 1215: Now Is Definitely Not the Time to Let Down Their Guard!

It moved like a real shadow, silent and without a trace…

At this moment, Ling Mo, who was bantering with Black Silk in his mind, still looked completely unaware.

He was still vigilantly observing his surroundings, but paid no attention at all to his own feet.

Grey Shadow was getting closer and closer…

Suddenly, a faint “dang” sound rang out from afar!

“Hmm?!”

Ling Mo and Black Silk almost turned to look at the same time, with Black Silk immediately tossing out a strand of silver thread, which shot out and accurately struck the spot where the sound came from.

“Hmph!”

Black Silk curled her lips and couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh.

“Pa…”

After the rice bag was sliced open by the silver thread, a chunk of lime fell out.

Black Silk instinctively looked up, secretly thinking, “Not good!”

Right above the lime chunk, a piece of the ceiling had just been stripped away…

“Damn!”

Ling Mo reacted instantly… The lime chunk fell at this moment, most likely because the enemy had secretly stripped away part of it while hiding, then calculated the exact time it would drop. Next, it would lurk nearby, waiting for the moment when Ling Mo and Black Silk’s attention was diverted.

“But under the same conditions, it would never choose to ambush Black Silk…” Although Black Silk blocked this critical tunnel entrance, her own movements weren’t much restricted. If an enemy approached, she could still attack or defend. Faced with an Advanced kindred and a human, anyone would make the same choice… “That’s right. I’m forcing you to ambush me! And this purpose… you should be very clear about it!” Moreover, in this situation, the enemy had no choice but to act…

Success or failure depended on whether Ling Mo had the strength to block the enemy!

Black Silk’s pupils shrank… Meanwhile, Xia Na and the others, though blocking Zombies at the door, couldn’t help but pay attention to Ling Mo.

A Zombie with completely unknown abilities… Could Ling Mo really protect himself in front of it?

And… just surviving wasn’t enough… He had to take down the enemy the instant it showed itself!

“If it were me, I probably wouldn’t even have the courage to stand there…” Skinny Monkey thought, drenched in cold sweat. Knowing the enemy might ambush you, yet having to stand there and wait, was truly unbearable. Just thinking about it put immense pressure on Skinny Monkey… Ṝ𝓪ΝọΒËS

Yes, even they all knew. Grey Shadow wouldn’t just stay hidden; it would definitely take advantage of the chaos.

Looking at the whole scene, the most dangerous was probably Ling Mo, standing there alone…

“Even if I can suppress my inner fear, I couldn’t possibly act so calm…” Ye Kai gritted his teeth and tightened his grip on the knife. With a muffled grunt, his calf muscles tensed, stabilizing his body again. At the same time, everyone understood… If the enemy dared to show itself in this situation, it would definitely use a move full of confidence, a one-hit kill…

“Captain… is he really going to be okay?” Gu Shuangshuang bit her lip.

“Where is it!”

Ling Mo’s gaze shifted rapidly…

Clatter…

The lime chunk finally stopped rolling…

At the same time, Grey Shadow, lurking in the shadow behind Ling Mo, suddenly sprang up!

“Master, behind you!”

Besides using silver thread to guard the surroundings, Black Silk’s eyes had actually been watching around Ling Mo the whole time.

From her vantage point, she could naturally spot danger near Ling Mo faster than he could.

Clearly, the enemy had anticipated this.

So the moment it appeared, it unleashed its speed to the limit.

That way, even if Black Silk shouted a warning, she would still be a step too slow…

However…

It still miscalculated one thing…

Ling Mo actually didn’t need to wait for Black Silk’s warning… Black Silk’s eyes were, in fact, his second pair of eyes…

“Whoosh!”

Grey Shadow thrust out its sharp claws, aiming fiercely at Ling Mo’s back.

But almost at the same time, Ling Mo suddenly lunged forward.

His speed wasn’t as fast as Grey Shadow’s… But Grey Shadow’s claws met an invisible barrier in midair, and by the time it broke through, Ling Mo’s figure had just escaped right under its nose…

A near miss!

Life and death in a split second!

Everyone instantly broke out in a cold sweat… That was way too close!

If the enemy had been a bit faster, or Ling Mo’s reaction a bit slower… It wouldn’t take long, just a fraction of a second… Ling Mo would probably already be a corpse!

“How much focused psychic power… how strong nerves does it take to grasp everything so precisely!” Mu Chen shuddered inside as he watched.

This guy…

“Really has gotten experienced at courting death!”

After marveling, Mu Chen couldn’t help but curse inwardly.

And just as everyone relaxed a little, their hearts immediately tensed again.

Yes, now was definitely not the time to let down their guard!

Ling Mo dodged the attack, instantly startling the Grey Shadow.

But it immediately shook its body without hesitation, preparing to hide again.

“Trying to escape?!”

Ling Mo immediately shouted angrily.

This Zombie was really cunning… but he was taking this risk not just to fight it once.

“Ate spicy hot pot… no, tried to attack me and now wants to run!”

Ling Mo had already stopped not far away, turning to look at the spot where he had just been.

He suddenly raised his hand, five fingers clenching into a fist: “Stay here!”

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

A large number of Tentacles immediately burst out from underground, leaving hundreds of tunnel entrances on the ground in an instant.

Just as the Grey Shadow’s figure was blurring, it was forced to retreat, but at that moment, a Dark Shadow silently appeared behind it…

Most people couldn’t see this shadow… but the Grey Shadow, so close, sensed it.

However… it was already too late.

In front were countless Tentacles, behind was a dangerous aura…

Blocked from both sides, it suddenly felt a sense of life-and-death crisis…

“Ah!”

The Grey Shadow let out a miserable scream and collapsed to the ground.

But after landing, it still struggled unwillingly.

“Plop!”

Ling Mo stepped on the corner of its clothes, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and looked down with a smile: “So this is your ability…”

On the ground, the Grey Shadow was writhing… but unlike a normal Zombie, its body thickness was far below the standard for a human, like a flexible sheet of paper…

“Hmm… let me see… impressive, you’re now as thin as a finger.” Ling Mo estimated, marveling, “What kind of ability is this? Zombie bone-shrinking technique? Flat-body transformation? Concentration is essence? Vacuum compression?”

After Ling Mo’s wild guesses, the Grey Shadow finally stopped struggling… It suddenly turned its head and said, “Are you trying to humiliate me!”

“I didn’t expect your facial features not to get flattened!” Ling Mo exclaimed in surprise.

“That’s your focus?” The Grey Shadow… no, it should be called a Female Zombie…

She looked young, with delicate features, and her blood-red eyes… were quite different from most Zombies…

It seemed that behind the bloodthirsty and ferocious look, something else was faintly hidden…

But when Ling Mo looked closely, he couldn’t see anything more…

The Female Zombie glared at him angrily, still trying to move her hands and feet.

“Don’t bother… you should feel your limbs are out of control now.” Ling Mo smiled and said, “Hmm… I should’ve thought of this earlier. With Ban Yue’s taste… anyone who can stay by her side is probably a girl like you.”

“What girl? I’m a Zombie! The nemesis of humans like you!” The Female Zombie glanced at Ling Mo, then suddenly growled in a low voice.

Ling Mo nodded noncommittally, then suddenly whispered, “No need to put on airs, you should know what’s going on around me, right? Tell me, was that Dominant Level Zombie before your subordinate?”

The Female Zombie was about to say something, but froze at his words, then looked deeply at Ling Mo and asked, “How did you know?”

“It’s not hard to guess. Ban Yue was already traumatized by me, why would she think of cooperating with humans? And Pear doesn’t get along with that Dominant Level Zombie at all… As the saying goes, even when beating a dog, you have to look at the master. The way she treats that Zombie is actually her disliking your behavior, right? The so-called fire in the backyard refers to this kind of situation.” Ling Mo said with a smile.

The Female Zombie was silent for a while after hearing this, then curled her lips in a smile: “Impressive… I should’ve realized long ago, those who act only on instinct will drag me down sooner or later. As for you… you got one thing wrong. My relationship with Ban Yue isn’t like that… And even though she won’t admit it, judging by her behavior, she doesn’t seem like a… lesbian, does she?”

“There’s a look for lesbians?” Ling Mo asked in confusion.

But the Female Zombie continued, “You didn’t kill me now just to ask me this? Or…”

“I’m just curious… how did you end up with Ban Yue and the others?” Ling Mo asked. In Pear’s memory fragments, he hadn’t seen this Female Zombie. Maybe it was just missed, but a more reasonable explanation was that this Female Zombie had only recently joined Ban Yue and her group.

To be able to cooperate with Ban Yue so quickly, and even know how to cultivate Zombies to win over human superhumans…

This Female Zombie… was anything but ordinary…

“I’m also curious… how did you end up staying with Zombies?” The Female Zombie turned her gaze toward Xia Na and the others, asking meaningfully.

Ling Mo glanced at her, and a cold smile appeared on his face…
