Chapter 553
The ancient corpse's body gradually became riddled with holes, and black blood kept flowing from the wounds, dripping onto the ground with a "sizzling" sound, as if it were corroding the earth.
Under Zhang Hao's relentless attacks, the ancient corpse's movements became increasingly sluggish, and its power continued to weaken.
Finally, with Zhang Hao's final blow, the ancient corpse crashed to the ground with a dull thud.
The entire cave shook violently as the ancient corpse fell, as if a small earthquake had occurred.
Everyone stared in stunned silence at the sight of the fallen ancient corpse.
They couldn't believe that Zhang Hao had actually killed this seemingly invincible monster.
After a long while, the fat man was the first to react. He jumped up excitedly and shouted:
"Great! The monster is dead! We're safe!"
His face beamed with joy, and his eyes sparkled with excitement.
The others also came to their senses, and relieved smiles appeared on their faces.
Their hearts were filled with gratitude and admiration for Zhang Hao. If it weren't for Zhang Hao stepping forward at the critical moment and demonstrating such great strength, they would probably all have lost their lives today.
"Uncle, you're amazing!"
Xie Xiaohua exclaimed sincerely, her eyes filled with admiration.
"Yes, if it weren't for my uncle, we would have been in real trouble this time."
Wu Tianzhen also said, his voice carrying a hint of relief at surviving a disaster.
Zhang Hao was breathing heavily, a tired smile on his face.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said:
"It's good that everyone is alright. That monster was too powerful. If it weren't for everyone's efforts, I wouldn't have been able to kill it so easily."
His words were full of humility, without the slightest hint of pride or complacency.
The crowd gathered around Zhang Hao, expressing their gratitude to him.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the cave became much more relaxed, as if the tension and fear from before had been thrown to the winds.
They temporarily forgot the danger they were in and were immersed in the joy of defeating the monster.
The crowd gathered around the fallen black monster, panting heavily with lingering fear, their faces still showing relief at surviving the ordeal.
Xie Xiaohua's gaze swept back and forth over the monster, still filled with doubt.
He always felt that something was wrong with the monster, and an inexplicable sense of unease lingered in his mind.
"This monster looks so strange, something just doesn't feel right."
Xie Xiaohua frowned and muttered to herself.
He slowly crouched down, cautiously approaching the monster, wanting to find out what was going on.
His hand trembled slightly as he slowly reached out to the monster's body, gently touching its black skin.
The moment his fingers touched the outer skin, his expression changed drastically, and a look of horror appeared on his face.
"What... what is this?"
Xie Xiaohua's voice trembled, filled with fear.
Upon hearing this, everyone gathered around, their eyes following Xie Xiaohua's finger.
The monster's outer skin began to peel away, revealing a strange substance underneath.
"Human skin!"
Xiaohua screamed in terror, her voice echoing through the cave and sending chills down everyone's spine.
Upon closer inspection, everyone realized that the monster was indeed covered in a layer of human skin.
Those human skins clung tightly to the monster's body, as if they had become one with it.
The surface of the human skin still bore traces of blood and bits of flesh, emitting a nauseating stench.
The fat man stared wide-eyed at the human skin, a strong sense of unease rising within him.
His stomach churned, and he almost vomited.
"Holy crap, how can this monster be covered in human skin? How many people's skins would it take to cover it like that?!"
The fat man's voice was filled with shock and anger.
Just as everyone was in shock, the fat man suddenly noticed something.
His gaze was drawn to the pattern on a piece of human skin, which appeared faintly in the dim light, making it seem particularly mysterious.
The fat man's heart suddenly raced, and an ominous premonition welled up inside him.
He slowly squatted down and carefully examined the human skin.
The moment he saw the pattern clearly, his face turned deathly pale.
"A Qilin tattoo!"
The fat man gasped, his voice filled with fear and disbelief.
Upon hearing the fat man's exclamation, everyone turned their gaze to the human skin.
The Qilin tattoo on the human skin was so lifelike that it seemed as if a living creature was about to leap out at any moment.
The Qilin's eyes gleamed with an eerie light, as if it were watching everyone, sending chills down their spines.
