Chapter 32: Valley of Shadows (Part II)
As if in a nightmare, as the crowd walked forward, they found a lot of ...... hanging on the other side of the eaves Corpse.
Even though there was no color other than black in the shadow plane, it didn't hurt for Raven to recognize the guys by their facial contours.
They all recognized the corpses as a team of silver-tier teams that had taken over the rooms of the three peasant households.
Once an arrogant adventurer, now just a dried corpse hanging from the eaves.
The dwarf Darak stretched out his hand a little demonically, as if he wanted to go over and examine the corpse.
Raven's voice came coldly from behind him, "If I were you, I wouldn't be within a twenty-meter radius of this so-called room. β
Bai Mao turned his head suddenly: "Do you know what this is?" β
"Soul Eater Tree...... Monsters in the Shadow Plane are very fond of pretending to be human houses or elven dwellings. Whoever comes close dies. In fact, as long as you enter the 20-meter range, you are equivalent to walking through its gastric mucosa into its stomach itself. β
"His stomach?"
Pointing to the seemingly empty void, Raven said in a deep voice, "Did you find it?" The black is a little different there. β
The other four widened their eyes and looked at them for a long time before they were surprised to find that there was really a slight difference between the shade of black within the twenty-meter range and the twenty-meter away.
"Oh! What the! Darak cursed.
White Fur looked at the adventurer's corpse and seemed a little unbearable: "Rex, do you think we can kill this thing and put them down?" β
Raven replied coldly, "If you know how to take a high-level wanderer's shadow step or shadow jump, and you can jump 50 meters away to avoid its self-explosion at the moment it is dying, otherwise you will become a lump of rotten sour meat that even ghouls disdain." β
"Well, when I didn't say it." The orc grossed at the back of his head.
At this time, the halfling approached: "Rex, you know a lot about the shadow plane?" β
"Not really, but all wanderers yearn for shadow abilities, don't they?"
Under Raven's guidance, the team dodged several death-bound traps for ordinary adventurers. However, after three hours......
The dwarf suddenly became addicted to smoking, though Raven repeatedly told him not to light a fire or use any holy water. But a strong addiction to cigarettes tormented Dalak. Dwarves are creatures that die without smoke or alcohol.
Without informing Raven, Dalak ducked to the side and started his own fire. His flint and steel was also hell, and it turned out to be one point, and then suddenly a strange scream sounded in the sky.
"Put out the fire!" Raven yelled.
It's late!
Before Dalak could react, a super python at least 100 meters long suddenly appeared from the sky, ignoring the existence of the black mountain rock in an instant, and directly penetrated the theoretically extremely hard rock, pounced at an astonishing speed, and swallowed Dalak with a huge mouth full of sharp teeth before everyone could react.
Shuva tried to return the fire, and the sharp arrows were fired in a triple burst.
There is no effect.
It wasn't the crisp sound of arrows hitting flesh, nor the sonorous sound of arrows hitting the hard skin, just a strange feeling like throwing something into the mud.
The huge python completely disappeared in the next second, as if everything before it was an illusion.
"Oh my! Dahlak! The halfling screamed and fell to his knees.
Yard's exclamation became a eulogy for the dwarves.
"That's the Shadow Python...... Anyone who uses fire or holy water on the shadow plane will be attacked by it. There is no possibility of defense, only the first step to eliminate the object that stimulates it. Some say that it itself represents the will of the shadow plane. Raven's cold voice was putting the finishing touches on the dwarf's stupid death.
"Do you know the way out?" The halfling looked at Raven with a wistful gaze.
"It's going to take time." At the moment, the rest of the team didn't know what Raven was referring to.
The team inevitably suffers from low morale when there are victims, with the exception of Raven.
Raven was surprisingly unaware of the dwarf's death.
Is it that you have fully integrated into the world?
Raven didn't know.
Raven wouldn't mind sending away the temporary teammates if the situation allowed. It's a pity that Raven still hasn't figured out where this is.
The Shadow Plane is attached to the world of Ultron, and it can be said that the Shadow Plane is a distorted mirror image of the world of Ultron. It is almost as large as the main plane of Ultron.
Its entrances and exits do not correspond to the continent of Ultron.
Assuming that there are two entrances to the Shadow Plane in the Golden City, it is likely that one entrance is connected to the south of the Shadow Plane, and the other is to the west.
However, there is no special reference in the shadow plane, and many times you can only judge your position by the type and number of shadow creatures you encounter inside. And the entrances and exits of the shadow plane are very strange, and the most unreliable one is that the exit is in the giant-sized toilet of a certain building.
The second victim soon appeared.
As the team was aimlessly moving, they suddenly heard a strange rustling sound.
Raven Huo Ran became nervous and asked loudly, "Who is injured and bleeding!?" β
The question seemed to come a little late, and the eight-legged black creature that rushed in the distance took over the team's vision like a tide. Their speed is so incredible that in a minute at most, the entire team will be swallowed up by the black tide.
Shadow Spider!
The challenge difficulty of this monster is only 10 levels, but as the number increases, the difficulty of the challenge will increase exponentially. Now it seems that there are at least hundreds.
"It's me!" The half-drow raised his hand, he was too silent to make a sound even if the soles of his feet were accidentally cut.
Unfortunately, the blood of living beings is also one of the scourges that attracts shadow creatures.
"Oh! Hell, how can you ......" exclaimed the halfling.
At this moment, he made a move that insulted the name of Drow's despicable, shameless and selfish - he voluntarily left the team and ran into the distance.
"Shuva, you ......" Yade was stunned, and suddenly realized what Shuva was doing.
"Don't be stunned! Don't waste the last of his kindness! Raven ran in the other direction.
"Hold on!" Whitefur threw the halfling man behind his back, and no longer disregarded his demeanor, like a real bear, and ran wildly with Raven in the fastest four-limbed position.
Shuva lured almost all of the Shadow Spiders, only a few chased after Raven and his party. He tilted his head until the survivors of the team disappeared into the distance.
In the next moment, a swarm of dark furry spiders enveloped the entire half-drow elf, not with a cobweb, but with a body. Only the simple and rough gnawing sound of wolves kept ringing. The creepy chewing sound of spider mouthparts slicing through the bodies of the half-drows in the distance sent a long silence to the team that had just finished the battle.
The halfling was trembling, and the white fur fell into self-blame.
"I should have grabbed him. The beast god is above, I am really a shield for the team! Big tears welled up in the white-haired bear's eyes. He also suffered no less than ten wounds, but all his blood was strangely turned into charcoal by a mysterious electric current the moment it flew out of his body. His shoulders and chest were covered with scorched scars.
Raven was a little stunned, it was the first time he had seen an orc cry.
"I think I know where this is and how to get out." Raven spoke his judgment: "If I'm not wrong, this is the Shadow Plains of the Shadow Plane. β
"So, what's the way we're leaving?" The halfling asked in frustration.
"Stay up for an extra hour and you'll have an opportunity."
"Can you make it clear?" White fur asked.
"The Shadow Plains is a very special existence in the shadow plane. There is no point in moving forward and backward here. You can do this when we are inside a closed ring pipe. We only had two chances to leave in one day. One is at 12 midnight and the other at 12 noon. β
The halfling suddenly realized: "Ah, I remember that we set off at 7 o'clock, so it's almost 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, right?" β
"But the biggest test is also at the end." Raven reminded, "We'll encounter the Midnight Demon in a moment, and in the shadow plane, this collection of evil thoughts is almost unkillable. And they will extract fragments of our memories to lure us back. The only thing we have to do is never look back and go straight ahead. β
"It's as simple as that?" Yard was a little surprised.
Raven smiled bitterly: "It's not easy at all! β
Bai Mao patted the halfling with a bear paw: "What else?" β
Raven's face suddenly turned serious: "You guys...... Believe me? β
"Of course I do!" The two spoke in unison.
"Then whatever you come across, when I tell you to jump, you must jump in within three seconds, or you will die."
The two of them fought at the same time.
"What?"
"Whatever!" Raven was categorical.
"Alright! I believe in you! Bai Mao patted his chest. The halfling then made the same gesture.
However, it is said to be lightweight, but it is difficult to do!
When Whitefur and Ard encounter the Midnight Demon, they find that their imagination of things is still too simple and naΓ―ve.
