The wood in the stove crackled, breaking the silence that enveloped the room.

Mo Jun looked around and found that the house where the shadow demon lived was no different from that of humans, perhaps because only the shadow demon who had cultivated into a human form would live here, but the room was very simple, one bed, one cupboard, one stove, and that's it.

Mo Jun's arrival didn't cause much turmoil in the Shadow Demon Village, as he was "greeted" to this remote house by a group of humanoid Shadow Demons who looked like the upper echelons of the village.

"So that woman... Forget it, whatever she is, the question is what she means. Mo Jun sat on the bed, and there were shadows on the papier-mâché window, as if there were thousands of demons peeping out of the window.

The last royal family of the Shadow Demon Clan, the current patriarch of the Shadow Demon Clan, would actually ask a human to destroy this village and take them out of the Seal Realm himself?

"Normal, isn't it. ”

Asacheel's voice suddenly sounded in Mo Jun's heart, and for some reason, there was a little jealousy in the demon's voice: "Isn't it the instinct of life that a race on the verge of extinction wants to break the current shackles and migrate to a region suitable for survival and development. I've seen too many of these things, but this race called the Shadow Demon is so weak that I have to put my hope in you. ”

Mo Jun opened his mouth, not knowing how to respond. His actions at this time will be related to the future of the Shadow Demon Race, even if he is a human in two lifetimes, he has never taken on such a heavy responsibility. In this regard, Asacher's thinking is even more relaxed.

"In your hands, they are just a pawn, at best a pawn with a relatively large weight. The demon's voice was full of demagogy and persuasion in the dimly lit room, "I can sense that they have some kind of powerful weapon or formation here, maybe because of the lack of supplies, the power of this weapon is quite limited now, but this may be the only hole card they have left." ”

"I see. Mo Jun nodded, since he entered the village, he felt a strong coercion, and the operation of his own vitality and spiritual power was blocked to varying degrees, he thought that this was the strong man of the Shadow Demon Clan who was putting pressure on him, but he didn't expect that it was something with great power that was causing trouble.

"Even if you don't have sufficient spiritual support, you can still exude such an amazing coercion, it seems that the statement of the shadow demon is true. In Mo Jun's memory, the Shadow Demon Clan is known for refining weapons, and in that era of "demons and ghosts become immortals, you need to ask black and white", in addition to the magic weapons forged by the Mo family's melting sky and fire, the tools handed down by the Shadow Demon Clan are the most sought after, so Mo Jun has also studied this race.

"The Shadow Demon Forge is a thing of the past, and the current Shadow Demon Clan will only sit back and enjoy the benefits left by their predecessors and do not know how to forge ahead. ”

Suddenly, the door of the house was suddenly pushed open, making a "squeak" sound, and then several Shadow Demon Clan elders surrounded the white-clothed Shadow Dance into the house, but the previous sentence was said by the patriarch, which made the faces of several elders obviously angry and embarrassed.

"Isn't it, elders. ”

Shadow Dance softly pointed out the identities of several elders, then slowly turned to Mo Jun, ignoring the faces of the elders beside him, and said, "This time I came to thank Your Excellency for saving Shadow Forest and Shadow Universe from those ill-intentioned humans, and keeping the village from being exposed..."

"Patriarch, you know that the location of the entrance to the village is not fixed, and even without this person, the location of the village will not be revealed!" An elder interrupted Shadow Dance angrily, and the latter just gave him a faint look, "Then you mean that the lives of Shadow Forest and Shadow Universe are nothing?"

The elder was speechless.

"Could it be that a few of you are here to quarrel and show the humanistic characteristics of the Shadow Demon Clan?" Mo Jun raised his eyebrows and said with a look of good fun: "If you really don't want outsiders in the village, you can leave now." ”

"Hugh is rude. Hearing Mo Jun's words, Shadow Dance finally said to several elders in an unkind tone: "This is a distinguished guest who has obtained the inheritance of Lord Shadow Yin, if you don't want to violate the rules of the ancestors, you can entertain them well." ”

The faces of the elders changed when they heard this, and they all retreated behind Shadow Dance with a gloomy face, apparently temporarily letting down their guard against Mo Jun. Seeing that no one came out to make trouble again, Shadow Dance stepped forward and walked in front of Mo Jun and made a salute of unknown type.

"Don't hide it from Your Excellency, Shadow Dance came here this time in addition to thanking her, and asking for something. ”

"Oh?" Mo Jun couldn't help but wonder in her heart: what else could she let herself do besides the absurd task she had entrusted to her in the tunnel before? But judging from the current situation of the Shadow Demon Village, all she could ask for was...

"But it doesn't hurt to say that. Mo Jun had a rough conclusion in his heart.

"In fact, today is the day of the return of the caravan in the village, which opened the passage and gave those thieves a chance to take advantage of it. Although you are fortunate to have your help, you can't get the supplies you should have received..."

And sure enough, it was!

"Oh?" Mo Jun interrupted, "Could it be that the Shadow Demon Clan is planning to ask me for money?"

"Not really. Ying Wu's face did not fluctuate for a moment, she ignored the banter in Mo Jun's words, and said in a deep voice, "There was originally a demon village in the northeast of the village, but now it has been occupied by the ghost clan, and the demon clan has fled to death, and the rest have also been turned into demons, I hope that Your Excellency can go there to 'get' some supplies such as spirit stone medicinal materials." ”

"Demons?" Mo Jun, who heard the word for the first time, wondered, "What is that?"

Shadow Dance raised her head, her elegant face was full of sadness, and she explained: "It is the ghost clan that uses secret methods to transform the demon clan into a half-demon and half-ghost form, controlling its mind, controlling its soul, and making it a weapon that only knows how to kill, this is the demon ghost." ”

Mo Jun was speechless, Ying Wu's eyes were full of unpleasant emotions that made him feel unhappy, and he couldn't help but ask in the end: "What is the strength of the demons, and how many demons are there in the ghost army?"

"The strength of the demon is related to the strength of the transformed demon clan, and in the demon village I said, the strongest is a demon at the level of a goblin. Shadow Dance's pretty face was cold, only those black eyes were still deep and clear, like a bottomless abyss. Then, Shadow Dance added, "There aren't many demons in the Oni army, because all the demons are used as consumables by them in battle, but because they don't have a mind, some of them are stored in the Oni Clan's warehouse as items, and even become a kind of currency among the Oni Clan..."

"Enough. Mo Jun suddenly interrupted Shadow Dance's words, he didn't look at Shadow Dance's eyes, but turned his head and replied, "I'll go to that demon village tomorrow, but this thing wasn't taken for you for nothing." ”

Shadow Dance nodded: "Thank you for your help again, although our clan has declined, there are still a few treasures handed down by our ancestors, after Your Excellency successfully obtains supplies, you can go to our clan's warehouse and choose a treasure to take advantage of." ”

Until he left, the elders around Shadow Dance didn't ask any more questions. It was only after leaving, that an elder finally couldn't help but say: "Patriarch, there are not many treasures left in the warehouse, and the last group of foreign monks have taken a lot, but they have not been able to escort the caravan back, although this person is the inheritor of the Demon Craftsman, but..."

"I know. Shadow Dance stopped and sighed, "But we have no other choice, Flying Fox Village is the closest demon village to us, and if they are still like this, the next one of the ghost clans will be us." ”

"Fourth Elder, you go and compile a list of what you need, and find a time to send it to Your Excellency. ”

...

Mo Jun pushed open the door, and except for a slight light in the distance where the houses were lined up, the remote area he was in was completely filled with darkness. Although the sight was all black, Mo Jun, who took out the magic guide book and cast a [Mysterious Disturbance], found that as long as there was darkness, there were countless life fluctuations, and when Mo Jun opened the Evil Desire Vision Realm to find out, those lives were scattered with Mo Jun's sight.

"Shadow Demon... Yes. After Mo Jun confirmed it again and again, it was roughly certain that these beings were shadow demons that had not been able to cultivate into human form—although some demon clans had strong physical bodies or powerful talent spells before cultivating into human form, most of them, such as plants and animals, were quite weak before reaching the stage of "transforming into a human", and basically a mortal martial artist could retreat.

Stretching out his hand, Mo Jun felt the feeling of being entangled in darkness, which was a very ethereal thing, but the identity of the mysterious envoy could still make Mo Jun really feel the existence of darkness. So Mo Jun hesitated for a moment, and then stretched out his hand again.

- Elemental Stripping - Darkness!

Under the background of the candle flame in the room, a pitch-black shadow was clearly gathered above Mo Jun's palm, which was the "dark" element that Mo Jun deprived from the surrounding environment. It's just that as time passes, the elements that are not packed into the element storage tank quickly scatter and fly somewhere. However, what surprised Mo Jun was not the dark element he extracted, but the effect of the element stripping by him.

I saw that a very dazzling area suddenly appeared not far away, as if all the light in this area was concentrated here, and it was even more dazzling in the dark underground.

"There is no light source, as if it appeared out of thin air. Mo Jun pondered for a moment, and then his heart was shocked: "Could it be that because I sucked away the 'dark' elements of this area, the 'light' poured in?"

"There are darkness, water, rocks, plants, animals, life, and death that support the environment..."Mo Jun suddenly muttered to himself as if he was in a demon, "They complement each other and form a cycle of each other, everything in nature is essentially a huge element cycle, but the stripping of elements can directly extract one of the links, the consequences of this can probably not be predicted by anyone, it has no effect on other things, or it will directly affect the essence of this object, or it will cause a great collapse of the cycle." ...”

It was only now that Mo Jun finally understood why [Element Stripping] was praised as forbidden knowledge by the inventor - if the mystic envoy who mastered this technique was strong enough, he could even cast [Element Stripping] on a village, a city, a country, or even a world!

"You just reacted. ”

The demon's teasing brought Mo Jun back to his senses from his sluggish state, and he couldn't help asking, "Am I picking up a hidden profession?"

"You've been playing too much. Asachel said angrily and funny, "I still know about the Mystic Envoy group, their gains are proportional to their efforts, do you think that now you can defeat a Lihuo-level trialist with the skills of the Mystic Envoy series alone?"

Mo Jun thought for a moment and shook his head—once the enemy's strength surpassed his own, then the effect of elemental deprivation would be greatly weakened or even reversed.

"That's it, think about your investment in the Mystic. ”

Mo Jun thought about it again, and found that there were almost more than 10,000 points invested in the materials and utensils, and this was not counting the props that were decomposed and extracted. In the end, he came to the conclusion that even if a newcomer to the main god space who had just passed the trial mission obtained this profession, the points obtained in the mandatory task alone would not be enough, let alone spend points to buy props.

"Sure enough, it's all pits. Mo Jun shook his head, and after being taunted by the demon, he decided to do something pleasant.

For example... Killing relics harvested after killing a dozen rival faction trialists.
