Chapter 232: Shadow

Along the way, although everyone has not gained much, it can be found from the research of the goblins that Berwick's research should have been carried out to the last step of the live experiment.

The tumor-covered dinosaurs and the unusually large potatoes were the result of the goblins' experiments.

After passing through a large tree garden and clearing a few bear goblins along the way, the group came to a large hall.

The hall was filled with a blood-like red glow, and a large dragon statue stood on the west side of the hall, and on the ground in front of the dragon statue, dark red tiles painted a circle with a diameter of 5 feet. The inside of the circle is engraved with mysterious runes.

"E. Segenta Ravu Kaluwa Nayafusti." Similar to the previous Might and Magic Gate, Sherlock's fifth-level dragon language is not difficult to read.

"'The power of the arcane law bathes my body', let me take a look with the eyes of the arcane method."

Different prohibitions, the method of opening is naturally very different, but this time, as soon as the spell of the feather coat was released, a humanoid shadow rushed out from behind the statue.

Shadow (Elite): Level 25, HP 22451, Spell Power Curse, Shadow Derivation, Void Body, Shadow Claw.

Seeing the name of the creature like the Shadow, Sherlock's head grew for a while, and they were both elite creatures, but the skeleton monster he had just encountered was like a dinosaur and a dragon compared to the other party.

The Shadows are an aggregate of shadows who hate light and life, and consider all living creatures to be their arch-enemies.

Creatures they touch are affected by the Curse of Strength, which randomly decreases their strength by 2 to 5 points, and when the target's strength is reduced to 0, they will die directly, and will spawn a Shadow token under their control.

Their most troublesome aspect is the Void Body, whose body and attacks can penetrate any innate defense, armor, and shield, and they are immune to all physical damage, even if they are attacked by magic weapons or spells.

Fortunately, what they encountered this time was an elite monster, and if it were a commander, they would all have to explain it all here today.

The Shadow's first target was aimed at the feather coat with the lowest strength attribute, and the figure floated to the opponent's side as soon as it moved.

This creature can't be stopped at all, because if you break it with them, the power curse will be triggered, so the rest of the people can only pray that the feather coat will hold on a little longer.

Ignoring physical damage, the thieves and warriors in the team can only help Feather Cloak move on the sidelines, and the main output falls on the paladins and druids.

Tarragon's bonus points are biased towards punishment, and he has only learned one or two divine spells, and his output is very limited, so the only ones who can really deal damage to the Shadow are Sherlock and Ember.

In the form of a blue frog, Sherlock drew his three-colored, four-edged sword and rushed forward, and with a swing of the sword, it brought a damage of nearly 300, attracting the opponent's attention in a few clicks.

This has nothing to do with hatred, this phantom simply feels the threat of life, and the warlock in front of him can only blast it off less than 100 HP with a single spell, but every basic attack of this druid can reach 300. It is clear which of the two is more dangerous.

However, after the transfer of the target, the situation did not improve. This druid didn't know what was going on, his reflexes were amazingly fast, it couldn't touch the opponent's body at all, and the fastest Shadow Claw was just as futile.

At this moment, Sherlock was not as relaxed as he appeared, and the ghost's virtual body ability vetoed the possibility of using the terrain to move.

The opponent's speed is also much faster than him, and any large displacement and fast running will expose his own flaws.

Therefore, he can only rely on the dynamic vision brought by the frog's eye to predict the opponent's movements in advance and dodge, and the time should be just stuck in the middle of the opponent's shot.

This operation is very difficult, but since it has been done, under normal circumstances, Sherlock will not make mistakes, except for the fact that he needs others to contain the wind and thunder shuriken when it cools down, the rest of the time he is alone carrying the attack of the ghost.

In the end, the shadow didn't touch him for a moment, and his health continued to drop under the tear of the three-color four-edged sword, and after letting out a terrible scream, it dissipated into a cloud of black mist.

Picking up the black soul stone on the ground, everyone's eyes were once again focused on this giant dragon statue, guarded by creatures of this level as Phantom, there must be an ulterior secret, and a black soul stone can't send them away.

"Let's try to see if the buff spell works on it." Feather's arcane eyes told her a few things about it, this time with buff spells.

All of a sudden, state skills such as brute force, cat elegance, and natural gifts were all thrown onto the statue.

In the end, I don't know which spell worked, and the statue emitted a spiritual light, and the wall behind it slowly opened, revealing a secret room.

The chamber was littered with stone bookshelves, and books were scattered that had either been burned or torn to pieces, piling up like garbage in the corners of the walls.

It seems that it should be a study or a library, Sherlock flipped through it casually, and most of the words written were in Elven language, and a few books were in dragon language, but all of them recorded knowledge related to dragons from time to time.

After going through everything, there are four things that have been sorted out.

A scroll of the Fire Cloud Technique, a skill book of Malf's Acid Arrows, a notebook, and a well-preserved copy of the Dragons.

The last two things were written in the dragon language, and the others didn't compete with Sherlock, after all, without him, there would be no harvest of this secret room.

"Dragon Studies": Players who are proficient in dragon language use the dragon language level +1.

The skill level of the dragon language will not only affect your ability to read and comprehend the relevant text and images, but also comprehensively improve the spell effect of the dragon language magic.

Sherlock was reluctant to invest skill points in linguistics, so this kind of direct level-up thing was of course the more the merrier, and he used it directly on the spot.

Aschardron's Notebook: It records Aschardron's crazy experiments.

This notebook, dozens of pages of dragon language, after a cursory glance, seems to be related to demons, and what kind of crazy experiment it is can only be studied carefully after the end of the expedition.

After packing up their things, everyone returned to the hall just now, and in this room, there was only one staircase leading to the lower floor.

This is already the first floor of the castle, and further down is the basement.

As they passed through the damp and dilapidated staircase, a large plaza shimmered with purple shimmered light unfolded before everyone's eyes.
