THUD...
THUD...
Heavy, ponderous footsteps echoed from the depths of the forest, growing closer.
The sound was like a great hammer striking the earth, each impact causing the ground to tremble faintly.
The footsteps quickened, their approach aggressive and menacing.
Lin Ye's eyes narrowed. The moment he heard the sound, his body had already reacted.
[Shadow Scale]!
The next instant, dense, jet-black scales erupted madly from beneath his skin.
In the blink of an eye, they covered him completely from head to toe.
Even his clothes were enveloped by this layer of living Scale Armor, leaving not a single gap or weakness.
Lin Ye, meanwhile, slung the Star-Piercing Spear onto his back.
Immediately after, the color and texture of the black scales covering his body began to change rapidly.
They blended in perfectly with the surrounding environment.
Lin Ye looked down at his body.
He realized he couldn't see himself at all.
