Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 188: Chapter 187: Porcelain Doll (Part 5)_1

Alerted by Fu Qian, Delin snapped out of his daze and immediately ordered his teammates to retreat.

Actually, without his orders, most people had already retreated in the first instance.

Some tried to help their adjacent teammates, but as soon as they grabbed an arm, they found it to be weightless and without resistance.

The teammates on the ground were like dolls in the hands of a temperamental child, dismembered in the blink of an eye.

This brutal scene stunned him momentarily, and had it not been for a teammate who pulled him, he would have narrowly escaped being caught by the Porcelain Doll.

Even so, a large chunk of flesh was torn from his forearm.

...
After that, no one dared to attend to the wounded, all retreating en masse as if electrocuted to the rear.

Human flesh was indeed too fragile; the screams of the three who fell did not last for long.

As brutal as ever!

Fu Qian observed from the side, filled with emotion.

It had to be said, the movements of this group of dolls were really covert.

They must have come from underground; although part of it was due to his deliberate suppression of perception, to only be noticed at such a close range was quite impressive.

Caught off guard this time, without having prepared the scene in advance, even though Delin’s teammates coordinated well, they were somewhat unable to withstand the onslaught.

Moreover, the dolls, against their usual habits, showed no interest in the struggling monsters behind them, focusing solely on the team members as targets.

They’re so much more organized today!

Fu Qian spotted the clue.

In terms of numbers, the doll team was about the same as yesterday, even perhaps a little fewer.

But if before they were acting like a group of rowdy children, now they were basically at the level of scouts, the actions between them even subtly coordinated.

Amidst the screams, more people quickly became injured.

Damn!

At that moment, Fu Qian heard Delin beside him curse violently.

The next moment, his two hands suddenly swelled and stretched rapidly into two gigantic blue-black arms.

With a layer of blood gleaming on the surface, the palms at the ends were almost the size of three heads, swiftly striking down at the Porcelain Doll.

A doll was caught off guard and directly smashed into the ground, embedded into the rock.

Yet even so, it seemed to have sustained no damage and struggled to crawl out.

The next moment, an arrow emitting an extreme chill struck it.

While it didn’t cause much harm, it did kick up a plume of frost.

Frost crystallized instantly, and the doll was frozen solid within it.

Fu Qian noticed that it was the Mediterranean Brother who had shot this arrow; his archery skills were indeed unexpectedly good.

At that time, the latter wore a stern expression, firing arrows non-stop, each hitting the rock and forming large chunks of solid ice, completely sealing the dolls inside.

The other team members finally came back to their senses, each showcasing their powers, no longer in a state of being unilaterally beaten up.

Just as the situation seemed to be stabilizing, an anomaly occurred.

Delin, who was wildly punching as the main force, suddenly let out a suppressed roar.

The next moment, veins bulged on his face and neck, and his flesh began to squirm.

In less than five seconds, Delin transformed into a grotesque, blue-black giant.

After the complete transformation, his power surged, as he smashed a doll that had climbed onto his thigh, splattering fragments everywhere.

This savage act not only intimidated the opponents, but also seemed to frighten the teammates.

At that point, the dolls seemed to receive some kind of signal, and they began to flee in unison.

The team members pursued and tried to block them, but to little effect due to the speed difference.

One of the dolls chose to flee in Fu Qian’s direction but was kicked back by a blow from him, landing right on Delin’s fist.

Delin didn’t hesitate; he smashed the doll from mid-air to the ground and then stomped on it.

Double Kill!

In the blink of an eye, the dolls had all run away clean, but Delin showed no sign of stopping, his bulging eyes directly targeting those around him.

The team members, silent as cicadas, instinctively continued to retreat.

At this time, Delin spotted the giant beast nearby and, with a roar, pounced on it.

“`

Crack!

The creature that had just now withstood the attacks of the entire group was directly punched through its shell by him.

However, the fight was not over yet.

Through the net, he, blinded by rage, grabbed the monster’s giant pincers with both hands and brutally twisted them one hundred and eighty degrees.

After a violent struggle, the monster lay completely silent.

“Stay calm.”

Mr. Luo’s voice rang out at this moment, seemingly carrying a strange rhythm that made one’s ears drowsy upon hearing it.

At the same time, a dense black light enveloped Delin’s body.

The latter’s movements finally slowed down, and his body quickly deflated like a punctured ball, eventually sitting down on the ground slowly.

Realizing the threat was no more, his teammates stepped forward to help him to the side.

The attack had finally come to an end, and the scene was one of devastation.

Three were downed by a surprise attack at the onset, plus one injured and Delin, the team’s combat strength had virtually halved in an instant.

Who would have thought the situation would turn this fierce so quickly?

It’s somewhat ironic when you think about it; their original intention was to capture the bait to entice the Porcelain Doll into a trap, but instead, the tables had turned with the enemy taking the initiative to attack.

In a sense, it did have the effect of luring the enemy.

As the team’s morale was waning, a giddy laughter erupted.

The teammates thought it was those creatures coming back and collectively jumped in fright.

The next moment, ice shards flew in all directions, but it was previously frozen creature finally breaking free.

Witnessing this scene, the teammates looked at each other, murderous intent rising swiftly.

They were just about to encircle it when, with a creak, the creature fell into Mr. Luo’s hands.

Fu Qian could see clearly from a distance. This one was somewhat different in shape—it had four arms!

Although every Porcelain Doll was unique, this was definitely one they had not seen before.

However, after Mr. Luo examined it for a while, he ultimately shook his head in disappointment and tossed it back to the teammates, signaling them to dispose of it as they wished.

Consequently, amidst a series of shrill screams, the Porcelain Doll was smashed to fragments.

“Did you just realize they were coming over?”

Unexpectedly, the Mediterranean Marksman, who had just performed remarkably well, approached Fu Qian.

Pretty sharp ears you got there!

Fu Qian glanced at him. If he remembered correctly, just like himself, this man was also supposed to be on the periphery, keeping watch.

The conversation with Delin must have been overheard by him.

“Yes.”

Fu Qian nodded his head.

There was no need to hide this.

“How did you discover them?”

Upon hearing this, the Marksman’s eyes lit up.

“These creatures are like ghosts, unpredictable and indefensible.”

“I specialize in reconnaissance, with strong sensory abilities.”

…

The Marksman was momentarily speechless.

“What were you doing just now?”

By this time, the Conjoined Twin Girl also took notice of their conversation and looked at Fu Qian with a hostile stance.

After a desperate struggle, Fu Qian was the cleanest of them all, and it was impossible for there to be no objections.

Looking at Delin’s condition, if I had stepped in, there would be less than a ten percent chance of you still being alive right now.

Fu Qian knew what she was thinking, but did not even spare her a glance.

“I specialize in reconnaissance.”

…

“And although I didn’t step in, I did use my foot.”
