Chapter 43: A Helpless Alliance
Low, Intermediate, Advanced, Hero...... These are the four levels of NPCs in Qiankun. For monsters, super-level monsters are also considered heroic-level - meaning far beyond the advanced level of monsters that cannot be classified into ordinary levels, these monsters can freely change into human form, such as adult dragons.
Although the hero level is already the apex, every server has some NPCs that are above the hero NPCs, these NPCs are the strongest by default in the system, and will not appear directly in the game process, so although these NPCs are famous, they are not as deterrent as those hero NPCs who frequently meet with the player.
Daknis is one such special being. As the dark god of the "gospel" gods, his name is known to everyone (especially for the dark sacrifice, this guy's name appears on average once in every five incantations), but no one knows what his strength is.
There is also a saying that there is a saying among the great gods that otherworldly creatures also have wisdom and faith, and they also have their own gods.

The shadow is like a pitch-black sphere, completely engulfing Qingyi! The loyal zombie spider pounced on it, and was bounced off by the shadow and slammed into the wall, but it couldn't get in! The sound of smug laughter stirred through the cloister, shaking the dust and the firelight!
[Soul Strikes Back].
The shadow ball exploded silently like fireworks, and the black dots splashed like blood! The intensity of its ferocity makes it a pity that there is no explosion sound as a foil!
"It hurts! You ......" The weird guy who called himself "Xue Duo" screamed and gasped repeatedly: "What kind of monster are you! There are no signs of life and no way to shake your soul! Selens, you shouldn't exist in this world!! ”
"I hate betrayal."
Qingyi, who was standing steadily, snorted, looking down at his shadow and the invisible opponent: "So I'm angry." Now, get the hell out of here. ”
Xue Duo cursed in a low voice in an unknown language, and the shadow suddenly stretched and deformed exaggeratedly, like a pool of black water. After a few seconds, it exclaimed in even greater amazement, "How is that possible! Why can't I use Shadow Jump! Obviously, the closest shadow is less than half a meter away from me, and this little distance should take less than a second to cross it! ”
Qingyi thrust his sword into the shadow, but he didn't expect to hurt the other party, so he had to hum: "Come on, what to make a fuss about." You're really noisy. Now calm down and let's see each other's sincerity. ”
Shadow Walker Xue Duo: ??? level, Shadow Fiend (otherworldly creatures). Xue Duo is a very capable Shadow Demon, and even among his kind, he is the only genius to receive the title of "Walker". He served as a striker in the "Doomsday Encounter", easily shattering all defenses and storming the underground palace of Salamonro, but was sealed in a bottle by Saramonro VII with the mysterious power passed down from generation to generation by the royal family. He will not grow old, he sleeps quietly in the bottle, looking forward to the day when he can occupy the body of a certain creature, leave the underground palace, and return to his hometown. The skills he is good at are [Shadow Jump], [Dark Parasite], [???? 】、【???? 】。 The specialty is?????
"You look good." Qingyi looked at the battle information and commented like a recruiter. "Shadow Fiend? Is it an otherworldly creature lurking in the shadows? It's no wonder that many of the 'Doomsday Encounter' videos show players dying inexplicably, and it turns out that they were attacked by you. ”
"It's not 'hidden', we Shadow Fiends themselves can assimilate with the shadows of all living things, and even manipulate living things in reverse." After correcting Qingyi's language disease, Xue Duo became anxious again: "But, how can you not be a creature?" How can you move without signs of life? This, this, this simply does not make sense! I can't get out of your shadow now, what's the difference between being trapped in a bottle?! ”
"Look at it, at least the bottle can't go around like me." Qingyi comforted Xue Duo and commanded the zombie spider and the gluttonous spider to fight at the same time. He suddenly remembered something, and raised his finger to point to the flame of the soul fire in his eyes: "What's more, isn't this a sign of my life?" ”
"No, it's completely different...... It's the soul, yes, it's the soul! You still have a soul, and it's the soul that drives the body, but you can't breathe, eat, or reproduce! In your world, you can't be considered a 'life' at all! Xue Duo retorted.
"What do you otherworldly creatures know? In this world, you have no say in what is 'life' and what is not. Qingyi said coldly.
Xue Duo also laughed deeply: "Heh, a mouthful of a 'otherworldly creature' and a 'otherworldly creature'...... I'm an otherworldly creature, but aren't you an otherworldly creature in our eyes? Our world and yours are opposites, and the positions of both sides can only be opposites. ”
Qingyi was silent for a few seconds and said, "Speaking of which, it's just to excuse your aggression?" ”
"It's not to excuse you, it's to try to stand on an equal footing with you, otherwise there's no point in saying anything." Xue Duo sighed: "We, it's something you can't imagine. Why is the shadow life? Why can life force and spiritual power be plundered by us? And we don't understand why water is the most important substance in your body, and why you die if you don't breathe. Want to know? Want to know the answer to everything? Our leaders also want to know, which is why they start the 'Doomsday Confrontation'. ”
"Really? Equal? …… What equality there is! Qingyi suddenly became angry, slashed down a gluttonous spider with a sword, pointed at the shadow and shouted: "You have slaughtered so many of us, you have ruined this world!" Look at my level! Did you know that before 'Doomsday Clash 'I wasn't level 23, I was level 67! If it weren't for you, I would still be able to fight monsters and upgrade with my teammates now, so I wouldn't stay in this damn sea of bones!! There's a fucking fart equality!! ”
Xue Duo snorted and sneered: "Because I was weak and failed, I put the responsibility on others?" Feeling a little better that way, my poor, innocent host? Uncle Ben didn't mean to look down on you, don't get me wrong, hehe. ”
Qingyi laughed angrily: "Oh? It's ironic that you can only stay in this little bottle. ”
"You! ……”
The two fell silent, save for the splash of juice from the spiders' bites and the crackling of torches.
"Okay, okay, I apologize, I apologize." Xue Duo stretched out a black hand (it turned out to be a hand bone) from the shadow, and shook it at Qingyi: "Although I am a shadow walker, I shouldn't touch the shadow in your young heart." ”
Qingyi held the hand with a texture like jelly, and said unhappily: "What's the matter with your slightly sarcastic apology?" …… I shouldn't be angry. Indeed, I was too weak, and it was my fault. But you are much stronger than us in the 'Doomsday Confrontation', so it's not equal at all, is it? ”
"You only see the surface of things, host." The black hand bones melted, and Xue Duo said lazily: "In your world, there are also methods to massacre us, but you don't have it now. ”
"What's the method?" Qingyi immediately became interested.
Xue Duo coughed and raised his voice: "Ah, look, that gluttonous spider is so beautiful, and the lower half of its body is full of slime." ”
"Can you be less blunt when you change the subject? ……”
"Hey, hey." Xue Duo was not embarrassed: "After all, my world and yours are still hostile, how can I leak important information to you, right?" I don't mean to say anything wrong, don't get me wrong! ”
"Hey, you're still my captive, and I'll consider helping you get out if you say it."
"When did I become a prisoner! Uncle Ben moved in voluntarily, hmph, I'm not leaving! You can't hurt me anyway. ”
"If you don't go, you won't go, anyway, if you're not in a hurry, I'm not in a hurry."
"Really not in a hurry? Well, Captain St. Augustine, Queen of Gluttony, and Descartes, the leader of the Royal Assassins, these three guys will be happy to spend time with you. I don't mean to be angry with you, don't get me wrong~"
"Cut ......"
The two of them bickered as they walked deeper into the cloister.
—————————————————————————————————————
Isenger, abandoned barracks.
A sword light cold!
The necromantic knight was raising his sword to slash, but was decapitated by a sweeping sweep of the powerful man! The soul fire dissipated, and it scattered into a pile of armor and dry bones, and there was no more sound.
The black sharp sword, which had been transformed into a sword-wielding ghost soldier, did not move, and his face suddenly became ugly. The companion who went to collect the loot from the monster came back, and when he saw this, he hurriedly asked, "Big brother, what's wrong?" Is something wrong? ”
"June, Sunshine fell out of the Necromantic Player Rankings." Black Sharp stared at the void and muttered to himself, "Impossible, impossible, he's not a fleshy guy who can casually get out of focus." What the hell is he doing? ”
—————————————————————————————————————
Standing on the walls of Esinger, Schroed Bray saw a player beheading the Necro Knight with a fierce attack, and couldn't help but high-five and laughed, "That's a lot of strength!" ”
"It's just an adventurer." A calm and deep voice came from behind him: "Maybe they are very powerful alone, but they will definitely not be able to compete with our army." ”
The tone of the four words, "Exactly the opposite......" suddenly increased, and Schroeder Bray turned around and smiled a little slyly: "Dear General Zeno, June Sunshine is an exception. How do you say it? He's born an exception, isn't he? ”
"The 'exception' guy?" The other party snorted coldly, his voice full of endless confidence and strength: "In front of me, no one can be an exception." ”
"Really? Oooh, I forgot you were called the 'Perfect Defender'...... Then I'm here to wish you the best of luck! It's not too early, I'll do a few more business on your site and leave. Forgive me for missing me. ”
Schroeder Bray took off his hat in greeting, wrapped his jacket in his bag, and walked down the stairs with a smile on his face, greeting the long-awaited winner. The two walked away talking and laughing.
"This damn warmonger, he only has profit in his eyes." Plato of the Sacrifice of Death came out of nowhere, with a slight mockery and disdain on his face. "I don't think there's any benefit to working with this kind of wallgrass."
"Maybe you're right. Alright, I'm going to get to the army ready. Time never waits for us. ”
On the city walls, the fog grew faintly.
