"Shadows, where are the shadows?" Reading was still looking around for what I was talking about, but Firestorm was ready for battle, only to see that his right hand had turned into a flaming fire hand, and I could feel the heat coming from that hand even a dozen paces away. And Tie Shan also looked ahead with a solemn face, the knife and shield in his hand emitting a cold light. "Crow's mouth, really a crow's mouth. Firestorm glared at Redding, as if the appearance of these eerie-looking shadows was solely Redding's cause.

Reading looked innocent, he still didn't know why we were so vigilant, and although Banks didn't see this strange phenomenon, he knew that when the three of us were already like this, he naturally didn't dare to be careless. She first shrouded herself and Reading in a small dull yellow hood, and then blessed each of the three of us with something peculiar. I looked at the light emanating from my body with some curiosity, and instantly felt that my body became more flexible. But even so, I wasn't careless. Because even I have never seen such a strange scene, to be honest, when you see dozens of shadows that do not belong to you dangling strangely on the ground dozens of meters away from you, no matter who you are, you will feel scared. Even me.

However, the appearance of these strange shadows means that the Lord Regent has sent his own direct troops to deal with us, but the good news is that I can now use the necromancy that I am good at. So, without the slightest hesitation, the five crossbow arrows flew towards each of the five targets. Since it was only a tentative attack, I didn't think my crossbow bolts would hurt them. But, to my surprise, each of the five crossbow arrows I shot hit the target without any problems.

But that was just a hit. One moment, my crossbow bolts were stuck in the bodies of these five shadows, but the next moment, the five shadows I shot were already out of their previous state and became more three-dimensional.

Yes, that's all I can say about what they are now. Because they are indeed richer now than they were before. Because when they looked at these five shadows before, they were really no different from shadows, but now, they seem to have become real flesh and blood. However, it was still pitch black, and it was pitch black all over the body.

I don't see anything that characterizes these black people, but I don't see any. Except for black, these things aren't even human. Because they don't have any of the five senses that humans should have, except for their limbs. Aha, that's really kind of interesting. But I don't know if it's luck or something else, but at this time, only the five of them are materialized in front of us. Although there are many shadows like them, none of them can be enriched like them. That's probably what happened when my five arrows hit them.

"It's kind of interesting. Firestorm looked at the five materialized black shadows, looking a little excited: "I didn't expect that after so long, we would still be able to see these things, right, Iron Mountain." ”

Tie Shan also nodded, his voice a little urned because his head was in the helmet: "These things are all the fortunate things I have seen with my parents when I was a child, but this may not have been lucky for our parents at that time. But I'm weird, I feel like you've seen it too. ”

"Nonsense, I'm the king. I've never seen this thing, but I've heard it from the mouths of the people below. Firestorm rolled his eyes at Iron Mountain and went on to speak, "These things are called ownerless souls. According to the legend, these monsters are supposed to have some victims who died for inexplicable reasons, but after their deaths, their souls did not follow the right path to rebirth, but got lost on the way. And then, like this. Originally, these things should not actively hurt people. However, if it is attacked, it will change from the previous shadow to the current entity. And they won't turn back into shadows until they've killed their attackers. ”

I looked at the five weird ownerless souls who had become entities but hadn't moved until now, and I really didn't understand what Firestorm meant: "Wait, Firestorm, are you saying that people still have souls after they die, and then they will be reborn? Are you sure you're not kidding?"

"Of course. Don't worry, none of these ownerless souls were sent by the Regent. Because the regent would never know about the legend of the Soulless Soul. The second is that I was the king of a country no matter what. And every king learns something he doesn't like before he comes of age. Includes books that contain these very unusual accounts. But before, I just thought it was just a whim, and I didn't expect such a thing to really exist. God, they're ownerless souls, and if you think about how amazing these things are, how amazing they are! If there are ownerless souls, then it means that human souls will leave their bodies after they die, and then go to a place to prepare for the next rebirth. In other words, each of us has been reborn countless times before. After all, the current continent has existed for a long, long time, and maybe we were friends just like we do now. By the way, I'll go on and on. According to the books, they usually went out in groups. If we only disturb a few ownerless souls, they will not be enough to attack us. But if the number of these embodied ownerless souls reaches more than ten, then we may be very dangerous. Reading, you old man, what are you doing?"

One second of Firestorm's explanation turned into a roar the next. Because while we were still listening to Firestorm's unreliable explanation, Reading actually stepped forward like this, and carefully observed the specific appearance of the five materialized ownerless souls at close range, and even stretched out his hand to them. Reading was frightened by the roar of the firestorm, and then subconsciously pushed forward, coincidentally pressing on one of the ownerless souls.

"Huh~" Suddenly, without warning, a howl came from the body of this ownerless soul. I really don't know how such a deafening sound could be made by something so deafening. But now is not the time to dwell on this issue. Because just after the howl of the ownerless soul touched by Redding, a few more shadows slowly began to flesh out. In less than a minute, thirteen ownerless souls appeared in front of us.

"Get back!" I shouted, watching Reading roll up behind us and just sit next to Banks. While looking at the thirteen ownerless souls, they turned their heads to each other as if they were communicating. After a while, as if a decision had been made about something, the thirteen ownerless souls actually nodded very tacitly, and then patted the sparse team to surround the five of us with a lot of trouble. What are they going to do against us? I looked at them carefully and saw that they were not carrying any weapons. So he turned to look at the fire storm that seemed to be trembling all over his body and asked, "Do you know what these things are attacking us on?"

A hint of fear suddenly appeared on Fire Storm's face, and he slowly pointed at those ownerless souls, his mouth squirming softly, "That's it, mouth." ”

The sound of the firestorm was so low that I couldn't hear what he was saying. However, I was still skeptical of what he said, because how could this be possible? Doesn't such an ownerless soul even have facial features? How can it have a mouth? I subconsciously looked at one of the ownerless souls, and immediately understood why Firestorm looked a little scared just now. Because now almost every materialized ownerless soul has a large mouth on their originally pitch-black head. I don't know how to describe the size of this mouth, because the whole head seems to be occupied by this huge mouth, and I have to say that this situation is indeed a little scary.

"Guys, now we're going to get ready for that. Now they are no longer called ownerless souls, they are called devourers!"

I have to say that Firestorm has a very apt name for these monsters, and now they really don't stand still like they did just now, but now they have begun to move. They surrounded us and moved around us, as if to gauge our strength. Reading, who didn't know the specific situation, was not as scared as I thought, but frowned and said: "These things look like a group of beasts, they are now like picking the weakest target, and then waiting for the opportunity to pull this unlucky target out." Then, Reading put on a crying and laughing face and continued to lose: "This goal, it seems to be me." ”

Sure enough, as Reading got ready to get closer to us, one of the Devourers had already rushed towards Reading and stretched out his claws at him. But fortunately, it was because of Reading's subconscious dodge just now that he escaped the visit of the Grim Reaper. Banksy had summoned a barrier to keep the Devourer out before he could rush in.

Redding, who had been rescued, let out a long sigh and collapsed on the ground, to my disappointment. It doesn't seem like these things really communicate, and I even doubt that these things still have the ability to think. But now it seems that these things are closer to not having any ability to think. Because these things used to seem like they were communicating, but now they feel very naïve. Because their movements seemed haphazard, and Reading was absolutely right, these devourers looked like beasts.

Really disappointed, after exchanging views with Iron Mountain and Firestorm, Firestorm simply suspended in mid-air, spraying flames in his hand like those Devourers who were still surrounding us. In a matter of moments, these things were burned back into shadows.

Looking at the ownerless souls that had turned back into shadows and fled in all directions, Firestorm was very boring. "Sure enough, the legend is right, they just look good. But any non-physical attack will make it the same as before. Oh, I don't think I'll be like this when I'm dead, and even if I'm dead, I'll have to spend my life in a mess. ”

It's hard to believe that such a problem can be solved so easily. But I do feel sympathy for what happened to these ownerless souls. I don't think anyone would want to be like them, maybe they are the saddest beings in this world. Wait a minute, if this is not a deliberate arrangement, then what about the army that the regent used to ambush us? It can't really be the army that ambushed on that hill? If that's the case, then it's really hilarious, then I'll really just go home, because how can such an army resist the attacks of the apostles? We didn't encounter any more attacks on the rest of the journey, and the empty tent looked like it had really been put on hold, I don't know. After passing through a dense forest, we stepped into a plain that was not very vast. And the army, which has always been in order, is waiting for us at the front.

"Reading! You have violated the laws of the Empire, and now, on the orders of His Majesty the Emperor and the Lord Regent, I want to bring you back! If you dare to do anything to resist, then death is the only way for you!

That's right, I smiled at the army of about 10,000 or 20,000 people and the officer at the front of the army who was shouting at us, yes, it looked like they still had some combat effectiveness. So I had to ask Reading: Are we going to fight? Reading was having a bitter face, and after hearing my question, he thought I was being timid, so he hurriedly said: "Of course we won't fight, let's try to escape." ”

"Run?" I laughed, "You have to understand my question, my question is, are you willing to let us consume the resistance of your country?"
