the screams of the three who fell did not last for long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As brutal as ever!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Qian observed from the side, filled with emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had to be said, the movements of this group of dolls were really covert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They must have come from underground; although part of it was due to his deliberate suppression of perception, to only be noticed at such a close range was quite impressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Caught off guard this time, without having prepared the scene in advance, even though Delin's teammates coordinated well, they were somewhat unable to withstand the onslaught.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the dolls, against their usual habits, showed no interest in the struggling monsters behind them, focusing solely on the team members as targets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They're so much more organized today!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Qian spotted the clue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In terms of numbers, the doll team was about the same as yesterday, even perhaps a little fewer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if before they were acting like a group of rowdy children, now they were basically at the level of scouts, the actions between them even subtly coordinated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst the screams, more people quickly became injured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Fu Qian heard Delin beside him curse violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, his two hands suddenly swelled and stretched rapidly into two gigantic blue-black arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a layer of blood gleaming on the surface, the palms at the ends were almost the size of three heads, swiftly striking down at the Porcelain Doll.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A doll was caught off guard and directly smashed into the ground, embedded into the rock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet even so, it seemed to have sustained no damage and struggled to crawl out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, an arrow emitting an extreme chill struck it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While it didn't cause much harm, it did kick up a plume of frost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frost crystallized instantly, and the doll was frozen solid within it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Qian noticed that it was the Mediterranean Brother who had shot this arrow; his archery skills were indeed unexpectedly good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, the latter wore a stern expression, firing arrows non-stop, each hitting the rock and forming large chunks of solid ice, completely sealing the dolls inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other team members finally came back to their senses, each showcasing their powers, no longer in a state of being unilaterally beaten up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the situation seemed to be stabilizing, an anomaly occurred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Delin, who was wildly punching as the main force, suddenly let out a suppressed roar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, veins bulged on his face and neck, and his flesh began to squirm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In less than five seconds, Delin transformed into a grotesque, blue-black giant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the complete transformation, his power surged, as he smashed a doll that had climbed onto his thigh, splattering fragments everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This savage act not only intimidated the opponents, but also seemed to frighten the teammates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that point, the dolls seemed to receive some kind of signal, and they began to flee in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The team members pursued and tried to block them, but to little effect due to the speed difference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the dolls chose to flee in Fu Qian's direction but was kicked back by a blow from him, landing right on Delin's fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Delin didn't hesitate; he smashed the doll from mid-air to the ground and then stomped on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Double Kill!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, the dolls had all run away clean, but Delin showed no sign of stopping, his bulging eyes directly targeting those around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The team members, silent as cicadas, instinctively continued to retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, Delin spotted the giant beast nearby and, with a roar, pounced on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>```\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The creature that had just now withstood the attacks of the entire group was directly punched through its shell by him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the fight was not over yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through the net, he, blinded by rage, grabbed the monster's giant pincers with both hands and brutally twisted them one hundred and eighty degrees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a violent struggle, the monster lay completely silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stay calm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Luo's voice rang out at this moment, seemingly carrying a strange rhythm that made one's ears drowsy upon hearing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, a dense black light enveloped Delin's body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The latter's movements finally slowed down, and his body quickly deflated like a punctured ball, eventually sitting down on the ground slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing the threat was no more, his teammates stepped forward to help him to the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The attack had finally come to an end, and the scene was one of devastation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three were downed by a surprise attack at the onset, plus one injured and Delin, the team's combat strength had virtually halved in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who would have thought the situation would turn this fierce so quickly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's somewhat ironic when you think about it; their original intention was to capture the bait to entice the Porcelain Doll into a trap, but instead, the tables had turned with the enemy taking the initiative to attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a sense, it did have the effect of luring the enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the team's morale was waning, a giddy laughter erupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The teammates thought it was those creatures coming back and collectively jumped in fright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, ice shards flew in all directions, but it was previously frozen creature finally breaking free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Witnessing this scene, the teammates looked at each other, murderous intent rising swiftly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were just about to encircle it when, with a creak, the creature fell into Mr. Luo's hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Qian could see clearly from a distance. This one was somewhat different in shape—it had four arms!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although every Porcelain Doll was unique, this was definitely one they had not seen before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, after Mr. Luo examined it for a while, he ultimately shook his head in disappointment and tossed it back to the teammates, signaling them to dispose of it as they wished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Consequently, amidst a series of shrill screams, the Porcelain Doll was smashed to fragments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you just realize they were coming over?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly, the Mediterranean Marksman, who had just performed remarkably well, approached Fu Qian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pretty sharp ears you got there!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Qian glanced at him. If he remembered correctly, just like himself, this man was also supposed to be on the periphery, keeping watch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The conversation with Delin must have been overheard by him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Qian nodded his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no need to hide this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How did you discover them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, the Marksman's eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"These creatures are like ghosts, unpredictable and indefensible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I specialize in reconnaissance, with strong sensory abilities.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Marksman was momentarily speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What were you doing just now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By this time, the Conjoined Twin Girl also took notice of their conversation and looked at Fu Qian with a hostile stance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a desperate struggle, Fu Qian was the cleanest of them all, and it was impossible for there to be no objections.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Delin's condition, if I had stepped in, there would be less than a ten percent chance of you still being alive right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Qian knew what she was thinking, but did not even spare her a glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I specialize in reconnaissance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And although I didn't step in, I did use my foot.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>```\u003C\u002Fp>",1353,"2026-06-03T07:50:25.893Z","2026-06-03T07:50:30.689Z",1,"novelbin.me","d3ebdb6dbb8dee2179b7f07d999ddfd9c42dc58da84f600b4fa5994b6c5395b6","facing-an-ancient-god-for-a-year-chapter-189","facing-an-ancient-god-for-a-year-chapter-187",2389,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffacing-an-ancient-god-for-a-year-cover.jpg"]
