Song Jian made a big circle along the Shadow Forest and came to a small valley less than ten miles away from the Dark Castle;

Standing at the entrance of the valley, Song Jian frowned slightly, and there was a faint breath of death energy from the valley, which was exactly the same as the energy fluctuations emanating from the previous Death Scythe.

Shadow energy fluctuations are very similar to death energy fluctuations, and many people often confuse the two, but in fact, the two are completely different energy systems;

It's just that in some places, these two can also be in common, for example, the shadow arrow in shadow magic, Tang Ming had used it before, but the shadow arrow of shadow magic focuses on corrosion, while the shadow arrow of death energy focuses on damage;

"Why, when you get to the place, don't you dare to come in?" A mockery suddenly came from the mouth of the valley, and Qi Yun's voice sounded in Song Jian's ears.

Song Jian frowned slightly, Qi Yun's voice was even more hoarse than before, and it sounded a little different from the sound made by humans, but a bit like the sound of undead creatures.

"Looks like you've been there early?" Song Jian walked into the valley and found that in the bare valley, Qi Yun was wrapped in a black robe and was sitting cross-legged in the center of a magic array.

This is a six-pointed star magic array, on each corner, there is a crystal that emits gray light, one of the crystals, a crack appeared inside, and the light on the surface flickered, always flickering and uncertain.

"This is the Shadow Crystal from the Shadow Circus?" Song Jian looked at the shadow crystal with cracks inside and asked in surprise.

He didn't expect that with Qi Yun's strength, he would really steal this crystal from the Shadow Circus;

"With the help of some external forces......" Qi Yun's eyes flashed with a smug look, it was a very difficult thing to obtain this Shadow Crystal from the Shadow Circus.

In the circus, there are at least a dozen people whose strength is stronger than Qi Yun, and there are more than five people with first-order combat power alone, under normal circumstances, it is impossible for Qi Yun to obtain this crystal from the circus.

In fact, Qi Yun contacted a group of thieves, pretended to be a bandit, and ambushed the Shadow Circus halfway, originally he planned to kill Song Jian as well, but Song Jian did not choose to join him.

"You can rest first, and in three days, we will start entering the Dark Castle!" Qi Yun glanced at Song Jian and said, then closed his eyes and ignored him again.

Song Jian found that Qi Yun's level had suddenly risen to level twenty-seven at this time, and the magic array he was in was constantly absorbing the energy from the six shadow crystals and instilling it into his body, and the shadow aura in his body became thicker and thicker.

However, what made Song Jian feel strange was that he felt a trace of death aura from Qi Yun's body, if it wasn't for his strong perception, I am afraid he would not have noticed it at all.

"What's going on, although death energy is very similar to shadow energy, but the two energies are absorbed at the same time, but they can't merge with each other, once the two energies collide, there is only one end, which is to be blown to pieces." Song Jian frowned slightly, and said secretly in his heart.

Whether it is a player or an NPC, once the profession is chosen, the path to be taken in the future is also chosen, Qi Yun's Shadow Priest profession cannot be fused with the power of death at all, and can be borrowed, but absorbing this energy into the body is simply playing with fire;

Just like Song Jian, his foundation is the Invisible Sword Qi, and although he often uses the power of the Abyss, he never dares to introduce the power of the Abyss into his body and exist at the same time as the Invisible Sword Qi.

As soon as Song Jian entered this valley, he felt a strong power of death, and he didn't take it to heart at first, but now it seems that this should also be because of Qi Yun.

At this moment, a white light suddenly flashed on Qi Yun's body, and his level was raised from level twenty-seven to level twenty-eight, which made a look of surprise appear on Song Jian's face.

"This magic array can actually raise the level!" Song Jian secretly said in his heart, and his attention involuntarily gathered on the magic array that shimmered on the ground.

After staring at it for only a few seconds, Song Jian felt dizzy, this magic array was too complicated, composed of thousands of magic symbols, each magic symbol was like a tadpole that was constantly swimming in Song Jian's eyes, and after staring at it for a while, he felt bored and wanted to vomit;

"This is really a bit difficult, much more difficult than comprehending ordinary skills......" Song Jian said secretly in his heart.

Whether it is chopping, mining, or cooking, what Song Jian has mastered now is the simplest and most basic skill, and ordinary people even need to watch it for a period of time before they can comprehend it on their own;

But compared to the magic array in front of them, those skills were like the gap between a small dirt bag and the Himalayas.

Rumble~

Song Jian felt that his mind suddenly trembled, and with a muffled snort, two streaks of blood flowed from his nostrils;

System: You forcibly comprehend the knowledge of the magic array, and you are counterattacked, and your qi and blood value are lost by 30 points;

Song Jian sat down on the ground, closed his eyes and rested for a while, then stood up again;

"The system just said that I was attacked when I comprehended, but it didn't say that I couldn't comprehend!" Song Jian's eyes flashed, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth;

Wanting to understand the entire magic array at once was simply impossible for Song Jian.

Therefore, Song Jian began to set his gaze on a small corner on the edge of the magic array, where there were three magic symbols forming a simple circuit.

Song Jian didn't have any foundation about the magic array now, he could only record one magic symbol after another, his eyes were staring at these three magic symbols, and Song Jian's right hand involuntarily began to depict these three magic symbols;

This time, Song Jian kept staring at the three magic symbols for ten minutes before he was attacked again;

System: You forcibly comprehend the knowledge about the magic array, and you are counterattacked, and your qi and blood value are lost by 60 points;

This time, Song Jian's knees weakened, and the whole person fell to the ground, his nostrils, ears, eyes and mouth were all oozing blood, looking miserable;

After lying on the ground for more than half an hour, Song Jian barely controlled his body and slowly climbed up;

For him, as long as the system does not clearly indicate that he cannot comprehend, then he has to persevere, he believes that even if he cannot fully comprehend this complete magic array that can be directly upgraded, he should still be able to comprehend the foundation of magic array knowledge.

"A chain loop can't be comprehended, so I'll start with the most basic magic rune, I don't believe it, a small magic rune, can't I remember?" Song Jian wiped the dried blood from his lower nostrils, and there was a hint of fierceness in his eyes;
