"Hung cats?" Whitebeard was still not afraid, he even quickened his pace and continued to walk forward.

But when he came to the next street lamp, he unconsciously slowed down.

At this distance, he finally saw the appearance of the huge cat in front of him with strange movements.

It's not actually a cat, it's the whole fur of a cat.

This fur is draped over a black-gray figure.

The fur's limbs fall right to the ground.

It was only because the shadow below was also black that Whitebeard did not notice his presence when he was in the distance.

"Who?"

Whitebeard continued to step forward, but his steps became much more cautious.

He carefully used his mental power to test the black figure in cat skin on the other side.

The latter was extremely sensitive, and the moment Whitebeard's spiritual power came into contact, he turned his head sharply.

His face is hidden beneath a flat cat face, with only a chin faintly exposed.

The chin is also black, as if a person has lived in coal ash for a year.

"It's people? No, it's a wraith? Although Whitebeard did not retreat, he was also a little uneasy in his heart.

Just now, his mental power swept over, and the first feedback he got was that the other party was alone.

But his eyes told him that the guy on the other side in cat skin couldn't be a human.

Should we trust the feedback of mental power, or should we trust the eyes?

It's a pity that in the wizarding world, neither of these things is always reliable.

The overhead street lights flashed again.

When the flickering stopped, the world in front of me became darker.

Whitebeard suddenly felt a little cold, as if there were countless mouths blowing at him.

Thinking like this, he could see his beard swaying slightly.

His heart was beating faster and faster, and he tried to calm himself.

"My spirit has obviously suffered, and now I don't feel like I am."

The catskin man, who was stimulated by Whitebeard, still turned his head to look at him, and the angle of turning his head had long exceeded the angle that ordinary people's necks could bear.

Whitebeard was supposed to attack this strange humanoid, but the magic in his body just couldn't function, as if his brain still had reason, but his body and spirit body struck.

He looked up at the crescent moon above the streetlight, as if trying to temporarily divert his attention from the catskin man in order to restabilize his mental body.

However, when he saw the moon in the sky, the fear in his heart became stronger.

The crescent moon somehow became thinner.

And...... The arc is a little strange.

The arc of the crescent moon is somewhat flattened, not like the moon, but like a smiling eye.

"There is also a problem with the moon. Could it be that this illusion has two origins? ”

"It's not impossible." Whitebeard said what he thought directly, as if this would release some fear, "Whew...... It is worthy of Baidong Academy, even if it is deserted, it can create such a big illusion. Well, in this case, there may be more than two sources of illusion. ”

With the moon overhead, unreachable at the moment, Whitebeard forced himself to look back at the Catskin Man opposite.

"This illusion releases an aura of fear that makes people feel uncontrollably frightened." He grabbed a handful of his beard, the tingling sensation sobering him up a little, but the visceral shiver quickly reaffected his brain.

"You can't run away," Whitebeard said, lifting his feet and continuing forward, "the more you run away, the more frightened you become." Only by understanding the unknown can we overcome the unknown. ”

Although he walked slowly, this time he didn't stop.

All the way to the Catskin Man.

The black shadow on the other side didn't move, but gradually raised its head as Whitebeard approached, just looking at him quietly.

"The danger that doesn't happen is the most frightening." Whitebeard seems to have regained his courage little by little.

He swooped down, and the hair on the back of his hand suddenly lengthened, wrapping around his arm and forming a spiral cone around his fingertips.

A human hand instantly turned into a giant claw.

Whitebeard's arms swept like the wind, and his claws grabbed the fur of the catskin man directly, trying to rip off the "inferior" camouflage skin.

However, when he grabbed the cat's skin, the black figure underground was also arrested.

That cat skin seems to be glued to a human figure!

"Meow !!!"

Whitebeard's movements finally enraged a quiet catskin man, who waved his arms and let out a high-pitched meow from his mouth.

That action, that sound, like a cat that is truly enraged.

As the cat meowed, the street lights overhead became even dimer.

It's almost like it's gone.

Whitebeard's heart trembled, but he didn't dare to stop in his hand, and the other hand, which was wrapped into a sharp claw, fiercely pulled out the black shadow figure under the cat's skin.

The black claws felt a slight resistance, but still pierced into the opponent's body.

Close his fingers again, and Whitebeard heard a slight "thud".

The touch on your hand is like scratching a sandbag.

And the scene in front of him confirmed Whitebeard's speculation even more.

The catskin man, who had been caught by him and had almost emptied his chest and abdomen, shuddered violently, and then hung his head weakly.

It was as if he had been killed.

But soon, the black figure deflated like a hollowed-out sandbag.

In the end, even the human skin turned into black powder, and only a human-sized cat skin remained, which was still grabbed by Whitebeard in his hands.

"Humph! Blindfolding, obsession. Whitebeard, who had successfully killed the catskin man, felt much more comfortable in his heart, and even had a feeling of prostration that had just broken free from fear.

The street lights are getting darker.

"There's something wrong with this street lamp, is that where the psychic trick that terrified me comes from?"

Whitebeard looked up, but the street lamp above his head did not change strangely like the moon, as if the street lamp was really simply dimming.

When he was about to withdraw his gaze and move on, his movements suddenly stiffened.

Next to the street lamp, or rather, in places other than the street lamp, there were densely packed with black and gray figures.

These black-and-gray figures have no facial features and look taller than street lamps.

They just bent over and stood outside the extremely dim cone of light formed by the light, staring at Whitebeard in silence.

Just like that Pevine Man.

"Hmm!!" Whitebeard just stared at these eyeless figures for a second, and immediately had a splitting headache, so heavy that it seemed to be stuffed into twenty lead blocks, and he directly squatted down with his head in his hands.

The cat's skin, which was originally in his hand, also fell limply to the ground.

Headaches are accompanied by a strong sense of fear.

Even though Whitebeard lowered his head and closed his eyes, he could still feel countless eyes falling on him.

He gasped.

Fear is like an ant, following the pores of his skin and burrowing into his flesh.

"Hehehe......" At such a difficult moment, Whitebeard actually laughed out loud, "It deserves to be...... The Inverted Tree, if you evolve completely, will definitely become an existence comparable to the third order. ”

The white-bearded hands holding his head slowly moved down to the thick beard on his cheeks.

Reach your fingers into your beard and clench it slowly, grabbing a large handful of long white beards.

Subsequently......

Tear vigorously to both sides.

"Zi-la--"

The scalp-tingling sound of flesh separations sounded.

Under the skin of Whitebeard's cracked jaw, a highly decaying face was revealed.

"Sure enough, the battle of spiritual power still needs spiritual power to resist."

Obviously he was already gasping in pain, but the corners of Whitebeard's mouth were still rising.

"It's the scar the elf left me."

"I'd like to see if the pollution left by the elves is stronger, or if the spiritual pollution of your group of ash people controlled by the upside-down tree is more terrifying!"

"Torah—"
