It is composed entirely of countless fine black and gray particles, wrapped in strips of black ash woven from ashes, as if they possess life, forming a rough outline of a human figure.
He exuded an ominous aura that sent chills down one's spine.
The moment the figure appeared, it bypassed Su Hui, who was walking at the very front, and Mary, who was following closely behind.
Its target was none other than Tina, who was in the middle to back of the group!
The shadowy figure moved with incredible speed, almost instantly appearing behind Tina like a ghost the moment Su Hui issued his warning.
A dark, bandaged hand, imbued with terrifying energy, pointed directly at Tina's vital point in the back, carrying a chilling killing intent that could freeze even the soul!
Tina's combat instincts allowed her to sense the deadly danger from behind the moment Su Hui warned her.
Her muscles tensed instantly as she tried to dodge to the side.
But the shadowy figure was too fast, and my body's reaction was ultimately a beat too slow!
An unprecedented sense of crisis overwhelmed Tina like a cold tide.
She could even feel the icy breath touching the back of her neck; the shadow of death had never been so close!
"boom!!"
Guns are faster than people!
A deafening gunshot shattered the silence of the area.
Almost at the same instant that dark figure appeared, Harley, who was at the rear, had her pupils shrink to the size of pinpoints.
He reacted quickly and fired!
The muzzle of the "Sweet" revolver burst into a dazzling flash of light. A bullet, shimmering with pale blue energy, whistled and struck the head of the tall, thin, dark figure with unparalleled precision at an extremely tricky angle!
This shot!
Harley displayed an amazing level of shooting skill.
The bullet hit its target without a doubt!
However, the energy bullet, powerful enough to shatter alloy steel plates, struck the shadowy figure squarely in the "head," and the expected scene of the head exploding did not occur.
The tall, thin figure paused only slightly in mid-air, and the area hit by the bullet rippled violently, as if a pebble had been thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples.
Countless black and gray particles dispersed slightly, but quickly reassembled.
But it paused for only a moment, and its attack did not diminish at all, still fiercely pouncing on Tina!
In a flash!
Su Hui's reaction was equally fast, his body bursting with speed and power far exceeding that of ordinary people.
Before he could even turn around, he suddenly exerted force with his feet, forcibly twisting his body at an angle that almost defied the laws of physics, and lunged towards Tina like an arrow released from a bow.
Just as the dark figure's attack was about to strike, Su Hui's strong and powerful arm grabbed Tina's soft yet resilient waist.
"Get down!"
With a low growl, Su Hui gave Tina no time to react, forcefully pulling her to the side and rolling backwards.
The two men, their bodies pressed tightly together, tumbled awkwardly several meters across the cold, hard metal floor.
scoff!
Almost the instant they rolled away to dodge, the attack from the tall, thin, dark figure missed its target, and a few strands of black ash bandages brushed past Tina's disheveled hair.
A nauseating, burnt smell instantly filled the air.
A few strands of Tina's long, smooth, black hair silently ignited with eerie black flames the moment they touched the black ash, quickly turning into charcoal and then shattering.
If it had been even a fraction of a second slower, the consequences of being hit directly would have been unimaginable!
Su Hui quickly stood up, shielding Tina behind him, his eyes sharp as knives, staring intently at the figure that had finally been fully revealed.
The tall, thin, dark figure slowly turned around.
Until this moment,
The appearance of that tall, thin, dark figure was finally fully revealed to everyone.
Compared to the blurry images seen in the recorder, the monster in front of them was more solid and more terrifying.
It is about 2.5 meters tall, but its body is unusually slender and long, like a stretched black shadow.
There were no clear facial features; the area around the head was nothing but a deep darkness, as if it could devour all light. Mei Youyou is not singing in the air, Lin is not here...
His entire body seemed to be composed of countless constantly wriggling, gathering and dispersing fine black and gray particles, wrapped and bound in black bandages to form a human shape.
The black bandages, like living venomous snakes, slowly swam and danced around its body, emanating a chilling malice and an almost tangible sense of terrifying oppression.
The monster before them was none other than the terrifying creature that had appeared in the recording, ignoring conventional bullet attacks and slaughtering an entire military exploration team—the [Black Ash Weaver]!

Its appearance is like a tangible manifestation of fear emerging from the deepest nightmare; its mere existence exudes a suffocating malice.
There was no roaring, nor any substantial action.
An invisible spiritual wave, like a tsunami, suddenly spread from the body of the [Black Ash Weaver], which was made of pure shadow, and instantly swept over Su Hui and the other three!
"Well!"
A chilling cold swept over them like a tidal wave, and Tina and Mary both let out a muffled groan almost simultaneously, their faces visibly turning pale.
They felt a chilling, desperate thought, filled with a frenzied desire to kill, piercing their minds like countless sharp needles, churning their nerves wildly.
That invisible mental pressure struck them like a heavy hammer, bringing an indescribable sense of fear.
Mary's petite body swayed slightly, a trace of pain and confusion flashing in her clear eyes, and she almost lost her balance.
Tina was in slightly better condition, but fine beads of cold sweat appeared on her forehead, and her reddish-brown eyes were filled with vigilance and seriousness.
Even Su Hui felt a sharp shock, as if countless noisy whispers were murmuring in his mind.
He grunted, a cold glint flashing in his azure eyes. His powerful mental strength instantly stabilized his mind, forcibly dispelling the malice that had invaded his brain.
The system's scanning function had already locked onto the monster in front of it.
【Black Ember Weaver (Main Form)】
【Level: 63】
[HP: 6253/10700]
【Strength: 1】
[Physique: 1]
[Agility: 70]
【Spirit: 107】
[Skills: Ember Infestation, Stealth Traverse, Mental Shock, Split Creation, Rule Distortion (Not Activated), Annihilation Burst (Not Activated)]
[Note: This is a Rule-based dimensional monster whose existence distorts some of the rules of reality. It is immune to physical damage. Its health is highly tied to its mental strength and is affected by the number of its clones.]
He's definitely a monster of rules!
Su Hui's gaze sharpened slightly.
This [Black Ember Weaver] has the same extreme attributes as the previous split entity. Its physical attributes are pitifully weak, but its mental attributes are as high as 107 points, even surpassing his!
Even more bizarre,
According to the system description, its health points seem to be tied to its mental attribute. What appeared before me was not at full health, but rather a mere six thousand health points, barely more than half full.
Just as Su Hui was checking the monster data, the black ash swirling around the [Black Ash Weaver] cast a massive shadow behind it, and the dark mist began to writhe violently. (The last two lines appear to be unrelated and possibly machine-generated text.)
At the end of the passage, on the floor of the central control room, the corpses of the previously deceased military explorers seemed to be summoned, and slowly rose up as they coalesced into a split entity.
One, two, three...
In the blink of an eye, dozens of new [Black Ember Weaver Splits] emerged from the shadows, their empty eye sockets locking onto Su Hui and his group, blocking all their paths forward.
As these split entities appeared, Su Hui keenly noticed that the maximum health of the [Black Ember Weaver] entity on the system panel had visibly decreased.
Clearly, this summoning of clones comes at a cost.
The creation of the split entity consumes the [Black Ember Weaver]'s health points, or rather, "spiritual energy".
This discovery is undoubtedly good news.
Compared to the main body of the [Black Ember Weaver], which has an unpredictable speed and unknown attack methods, these split entities, although numerous, are obviously much easier to deal with.
"Marie, Tina, you two should prioritize clearing out these split entities!"
Su Hui made a quick decision and commanded the three of them to begin the battle, "Harley, let's deal with this guy's main body together!"
"Leave it to us, Brother Su Hui!"
Mary, with her petite stature and extraordinary agility, moved nimbly through the split group.
Her golden twin ponytails drew bright arcs in the fierce battle, and her energy gauntlets whistled through the air as she punched one after another, turning the attacking split entities into black ash.
"understand!"
Tina followed suit and joined the fray.
Her slender figure resembled that of a lithe female leopard, and the muscle lines beneath her black sports vest exuded explosive power.
Wearing energy-gloves, her fair fists delivered powerful blows, while her long legs, encased in black flesh-colored tights, unleashed swift, whip-like kicks, showcasing her skillful and fierce fighting techniques.
Every punch and kick contained powerful explosive force, instantly blasting the approaching split entities into dust!
"Hehe, just what I wanted!"
Harley grinned, carrying the "Goodnight" baseball bat, and with her other hand raised the "Sweet" revolver, she fired several shots at the main body of [Black Ember Weaver].
boom!boom!boom!boom!boom!
The bullet accurately struck the [Black Ember Weaver] main body, which was mixed in with the split entities.
Each hit causes the shadowy figure to fluctuate violently, releasing a large amount of black ash.
However, the shadowy figure reacted extremely quickly, its body could not be easily dispersed, and it was difficult to be completely penetrated by bullets. After suffering a loss, it somehow managed to adjust its shape and blend into the split body. If you are not careful, you will lose sight of it.
The [Black Ember Weaver] is far more powerful than its clones, and its speed is incredibly fast. Under the cover of its clones, it is like a true ghost, darting around the battlefield.
The black bandages coiled and attacked like living venomous snakes, their angles unpredictable and their power astonishing.
Once rubbed, the clothing instantly bursts into black flames, bringing an intense burning sensation.
Even worse, a large number of black and gray particles are diffused in the air. If you are not careful, you will be covered by the black and gray particles, and your health will drop instantly.
What's more troublesome is that although these split entities are still easily defeated, the [Black Ember Weaver] itself is mixed in among them, and its movement patterns are highly similar to those of the split entities, suddenly making it dangerous.
Through system scanning, Su Hui was able to clearly identify the [Black Ember Weaver] main body mixed in with the split entity.
But Harley doesn't have that ability; she can only judge by sight and feeling.
Meanwhile, the [Ember Weaver] used its split forms as cover, blinking and moving intermittently in an attempt to launch a surprise attack.
In the midst of fierce battle,
Su Hui keenly noticed that the figure of the [Black Ash Weaver], composed of black and gray, began to become somewhat blurry at a certain moment, as if it were about to blend into the surrounding shadows.
A sense of crisis, even stronger than before, suddenly surged into his heart.
It appears to be preparing to launch some more dangerous attack.
Swish!
In the brief moment when the split entities obscured everyone's view, the figure of the [Black Ember Weaver] suddenly vanished from the spot!
next moment,
It appeared silently at the weakest point in the team—behind Mary, who was focused on dealing with the split entity!
With a wave of his hand, a dozen or so jet-black bandages shot out like arrows, wrapping around Mary's petite body, intending to strangle her.
The aura of death enveloped the small figure.
At the critical moment!
Bang!
