Chapter 407: The End of the Shadow Dancer
In the cave.

The torches flickered with dim light.

The shadows of a man and a tiger danced wildly on the wall, giving people an indescribable sense of weirdness.

Wu Xian and two others and a tiger.

Just said goodbye to Xiong Gang.

Then they were attacked by the shadow monster again.

If Zhao Zixuan had not taken the torch this time, Wu Xian would have had no choice but to extinguish the torch and run away.

There seemed to be only two shadow monsters, so they only tried to control Wu Xian and Fat Tiger. Zhao Zixuan was not affected. He raised the torch tremblingly, his expression completely broken.

Wu Xian jumped so hard that his hands and feet were cramping and some of his skin was cracked, but he still had to struggle to comfort this high school boy with a very popular name.

If he was really scared silly, both he and Fat Tiger would be in trouble.

"You don't have to do anything, just stand there. Give me some time to think. It won't take too long for me to deal with the thing in the shadow!"

Seeing Wu Xian's confident look, Zhao Zixuan's expression relaxed a little.

Wu Xian didn't lie.

It was the first time I encountered a shadow attack and didn’t understand the mechanism, so it was understandable that I could only escape in a panic.

It was not Wu Xian's style to fail to come up with any countermeasures when encountering the same attack for the second time.

While dancing, Wu Xian thought carefully and found several abnormalities.

The first anomaly.

It is the time and place of the attack.

Why weren't they attacked when they were talking to Xiong Gang in the small cave? There were candles lit and shadows around them.

Wu Xian initially thought that the shadow monster had not caught up or had a limited range of activities.

But the second attack took place at a fork in the cave far away from the small cave, which meant that the shadow monster had been following them all the time, but just deliberately avoided Xiong Gang!
So what is the difference between the combination of Xiong Gang, Wu Xian and Fat Tiger?

Xiong Gang is very strong and smarter than Fat Tiger!

The second anomaly.

Zhao Zixuan was not among the targets of this attack.

The monster's primary purpose is to kill people, so Zhao Zixuan is obviously easier to kill. It would be the same to kill Zhao Zixuan first and then Wu Xian and Fat Tiger, but the shadow monster did not attack the most vulnerable guy first.

Based on this, Wu Xian inferred that the shadow monster thought it was dangerous to allow Wu Xian or Fat Tiger to move freely when they were killing people!
There is no danger in letting Zhao Zixuan move freely.

The third anomaly.

It's this weird dancing posture.

The shadow monster wrapped around Wu Xian and controlled him to make dance-like movements.

But why dance?
If its purpose is to kill people, and it can control Wu Xian's actions, wouldn't it be better to directly control Wu Xian to commit suicide?
Manipulating dance is a thankless task.

Unless this monster is the type that focuses too much on atmosphere, there is only one explanation for the controlled dance.

That is, when controlling the action, if it is not a dance movement, it may have an adverse effect on it...

Think of this.

Wu Xian just stared at his own shadow.

At this moment, his shadow, like that of a dancer, had its limbs controlled and waved devilishly, but no matter how it waved, it never overlapped with the dancer's shadow.

Wu Xian carefully thought about these three anomalies and soon came to a conclusion.

The Shadow Dancer's ability is to control people's actions by clinging to shadows, but since she can touch shadows, the shadows can also hurt her.

Therefore, she did not dare to attack Xiong Gang, because Xiong Gang was very strong and Shadow would hurt the dancer.

Fat Tiger is also very strong, but he is very clumsy, and his body structure is not as flexible as that of humans. Structurally, it is difficult for him to hurt the dancer through his shadow.

As for not attacking Zhao Zixuan, the reason was actually very simple. He was timid and weak, and did not dare to approach the person controlled by the shadow. Even if he approached, it would be difficult to hurt the shadow with his fists and feet. If Wu Xian and Fat Tiger were allowed to move freely, once they approached the shadow of the controlled person, the shadow dancer would react to the approach of the shadow, thus exposing her own weakness.

Wu Xian took a deep breath.

If everything is as he guessed.

Once the Shadow Dancer's tricks are exposed, she is easier to deal with than ordinary evil spirits!
"I have a knife on me, pull it out and chop the tiger's shadow!"

The reason why Wu Xian asked him to chop Fat Tiger instead of himself was that he was worried that he would hurt his real body while chopping its shadow.

After hearing this, Zhao Zixuan quickly drew his sword.

The shadow dancer on Wu Xian tried to stop him by controlling Wu Xian's movements, but Wu Xian gathered all his strength and pushed in the opposite direction, resulting in a stalemate with the shadow dancer.

Zhao Zixuan took advantage of this time to get the knife. He held the knife with both hands and rushed towards Fat Tiger timidly.

The shadow dancer on Fat Tiger's body would not allow him to chop her, so she broke away from Fat Tiger and entangled herself with Zhao Zixuan again.

At this moment, Fat Tiger was free!
"Fat Tiger, run, as long as you run around us, we will win!"

Wu Xian gave the order like this.

Fat Tiger tilted his head, wondering what nonsense Wu Xian was talking about.

Wu Xian rolled his eyes.

If I had known earlier, I would have let Zhao Zixuan chop off his own shadow.

This stupid tiger, having experienced life and death with me many times, didn't even develop the slightest bit of tacit understanding between them.

However, Fat Tiger had been controlled by the Shadow Dancer for a long time and was already feeling very uncomfortable. Needless to say, after it found itself free, it began to have fun within the range of the fire.

This level of movement is just relaxation for the tiger, but the tiger's shadow is enough to pose a threat to the shadow dancer.

When Fat Tiger approached Wu Xian, the shadow dancer on Wu Xian subconsciously shrank.

Wu Xian took advantage of this opportunity and punched the front of his head with all his strength.

Bang!
On Wu Xian's shadow, one head suddenly turned into two.

The one belonging to Wu Xian was safe and sound, but the other one, belonging to the shadow dancer, was punched on the cheek, with a few black spots flying out, as if a few teeth had fallen out.

There is another slight difference between the movement of shadow and body.

The body is three-dimensional.

The shadow is flat.

In other words, physically Wu Xian only attacked the front of himself, but in the shadow, the shadow dancer was hit hard!
Then Wu Xian swung twice in the air.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when the shadow dancer was hit, he pounced in front of Zhao Zixuan, snatched the dagger from his hand, overlapped their shadows, and stabbed the air with the dagger.

Swish!
The saw blade turned red instantly. Although it was only stabbing the air, a large amount of black smoke came out from the ground, and there was a woman's shrill scream!

He stabbed twice like this.

Wu Xian and Zhao Zixuan no longer felt restrained in their movements.

Those two shadow dancers are dead!

Wu Xian looked down and saw two incense sticks and two black things on the ground.

He picked up the incense.

When I picked up the black thing, I found that it was two heavy pieces of black gelatin. These two pieces of black gelatin should be the body of the Shadow Dancer.

Wu Xian didn’t know what this gelatinous substance was used for, so he could only take it back and study it.

This time he didn't encounter any problems. He took Zhao Zixuan and Fat Tiger all the way back to the big cave, and found that only the crazy woman and Gong Xiujuan were left in the cave.

Two women were looking worriedly at a dark tunnel.

"It's over. I'm back late."
