Chapter 22: The Birth of the Shadow Hunter [Asking for Recommendation Votes, Asking for Rewards]
However, even though he was very angry and wanted to drag the system out and beat him, Su Li still quickly sorted out his emotions and devoted himself to the next deduction.
Time sped up again after the system narration, this time the acceleration was not fast, at best, it was equivalent to driving 1.5 times the speed when watching the drama, but it still allowed Su Li to quickly watch the development of the next thing.
As the system spoilers suggest, the six-man squad failed, even if they had tried their best, even if Mu Bo successfully slashed his strongest sword against the Shadow Queen, they still failed.
Because the queen of the shadow can be resurrected!
Mu Bo did succeed in killing the Shadow Queen, but the Shadow Queen was later resurrected.
In the end, the six-member team failed to succeed in killing the Shadow Queen again, and with the self-explosion of the Enchantment Division, the space in the area where the Shadow Queen was located was distorted, and the bright light that came from nowhere made it even more irritating for people to open their eyes. When the bright light disappeared and the space returned to normal, Su Li looked over again and found that the area was empty.
At this time, the only surviving Mu Bo of the six-member team had disappeared, and I don't know if he left when the Enchantment Master blew himself up just now, or if he was simply swept up in the explosion and there were no bones left, and there was no trace of the shadow people in this area, it seemed that those shadow people had died in the self-explosion of the Enchantment Master just now.
Su Li watched the area silently, and I don't know how long it took, the shallow shadows on the ground gathered together, and the Shadow Queen was resurrected again.
"Tsk...... It's not going to die. Su Li pursed his lips, although he had expected it, but I have to say that after seeing the Shadow Queen again, he was still a little blocked in his heart.
Fortunately, the system didn't leave him here for long this time, and after the queen of the filmmakers was resurrected again, the system's narration came again.
[The decapitation team led by Mu Bo finally failed, because the Shadow Queen can be resurrected when she is in the Shadow City, which is also the reason why the Shadow Queen established the Shadow City, but unfortunately humans are not clear about this. 】
[The asymmetry of information made this decapitation mission a failure, and with the self-explosion of the enchantment division in the squad, a corner of the Shadow City was destroyed, and only one of the six members of the decapitation team survived. 】
"Huh?" Hearing this, Su Li's eyes suddenly lit up, and the scene around him changed as he expected.
Only this time there is something special about his position, which ...... Seems to be in the water?
Su Li blinked his eyes, because he was a bystander, he didn't feel any discomfort even if he was in the water, but his vision was not as clear as usual.
He then looked around, silently as the schools of fish swam past him, and saw a figure floating in the water not far away.
Su Li was startled, and immediately floated over, and found that the figure was indeed Mu Bo. It's just that Mu Bo's eyes are tightly closed, and he seems to have lost consciousness, and a shadow is still hanging around him.
Not only that, but at this moment, the shadow was slowly wriggling, as if it wanted to devour Mu Bo, but the pendant on Mu Bo's wrist kept emitting a faint light, so that the shadow did not continue to devour Mu Bo, and entered a state of stalemate.
But the pendant is only a dead thing after all, and if Mu Bo can't come to his senses and use the pendant himself, it is only a matter of time before Shadow wins this tug-of-war.
If......
Thinking of some kind of bad possibility, Su Li's heart suddenly tightened, and at this moment, he suddenly saw a large black cloud in the distance surging towards the direction where Mu Bo was.
Su Li suddenly looked nervously at the black, and when the black got closer, he realized that it was a school of fish.
It was a school of fish that Su Li had never seen before, and I don't know if it was a "new species" that Su Li had not known before, or because of the recent genetic rain with an effect of only one percent. Anyway, the school of fish swam over and surrounded Mubo from all sides.
"Huh?" Su Li almost subconsciously stretched out his hand to drive away the fish, and when he was able to pass through those strange-looking fish, he suddenly realized that he was now a spectator, and he couldn't touch the things in the deduction at all, and he could only watch the fish surround Mu Bo in a hurry.
But soon Su Li was not in a hurry, but his eyes widened.
Because he saw that the fish were coming towards Mubo and did not bite Mubo himself, but began to bite at the shadow of Mubo.
And after the shadow was torn to a certain point, the shadow suddenly turned into a black energy liquid like ink as if a switch had been turned on, and then merged into the seawater, and was absorbed by the unconscious Mu Bo.
"Gollum-" Su Li couldn't help but swallow, he had already foreseen that he might witness some turning point in history again.
And after all the black energy liquid had been absorbed by Mu Bo, after a few more minutes, Mu Bo opened his eyes.
"I'm not dead......
He looked around a little blankly, clenched the sword in his hand that had not been completely let go even if he was unconscious, and suddenly raised his other hand with a feeling, and a dark gray shadow appeared, and then condensed into a short sword with his will.
"Shadow ...... The power? Mu Bo muttered a little dazedly, as if he was puzzled, but then his expression suddenly became stunned, and then it became complicated.
"I see......"
The system's prompt sound also sounded at this time.
[Reality is reality after all, it is not as beautiful as described in the biography of the novel, but there is never a shortage of accidents. For example, Mu Bo, who was involved in the spatial turbulence caused by the self-explosion of the Enchantment Division, and then had a spatial displacement, was thrown into the sea, and then encountered another accident. 】
[Fate is a wonderful thing, he threw the energy remnant of a fragment of the unknown universe treasure to the blue star, creating the shadow queen, making the shadow human race born, but at the same time, he also threw the energy remnant of another fragment of the unknown universe treasure to the blue star. 】
[The energy remnant of this fragment did not lead to the birth of another Shadow Queen, as it fell into the sea at the beginning and merged with the sea. The creatures in that sea area had undergone strange mutations because of this, if they were ordinary creatures, they should have collapsed because they couldn't withstand this mutation, but they had already undergone mutations due to genetic rain before they came into contact with these shadow energy, so they finally withstood this change and evolved the instinct to devour shadows. 】
[There is nothing wrong with this devouring itself, but when the object of their devouring is the shadow that is devouring humanity.] When their devouring of the Shadow reaches a certain tipping point, it triggers a mechanism that exists in the Shadow itself, which is not completely safe for the host itself, but fortunately Mubo is strong enough and strong-willed. 】
[How can an existence that can be called a cosmic treasure only bring disaster? The shadow of alienated intelligent beings is one of its functions, but it is only one of them. And the particularity of the cosmic treasure is doomed, even if it is just a fragment of energy remnant, it also has the nature of the cosmic treasure. 】
[And under all kinds of coincidences, another use of this cosmic treasure finally appeared on the blue star. 】
[Thus, the world's first shadow hunter was born!] 】
