"Is this the Isle of Shadows? It's really desolate enough. Standing on a beach, looking at the huge island that had been shrouded in black fog for almost all the year, to the point of being ghostly, Aix couldn't help but shudder all over his body.

Although Shadow Island is not small, the population density here is notoriously low, and it is not all human, all kinds of strange creatures are almost the mainstream, so Aix does not want to meet anyone now.

"Living in such a depressing environment, you can become a madman even if you are not crazy." Ax brushed aside a dry branch and walked irritably, the trees here were like those strange trees that appeared in the old witch's dwelling in fairy tales, not only strange shapes, but also terrifying, and it was still daytime, and if it was night, Ax would never want to see more of them.

Suddenly, Aix's speed became slower and slower, and although his expression did not change, he fell almost silently with each step, and every step was not solid, as if he was floating forward on the ground.

Just when Aix had just crossed a big tree, in the four directions of Aix, left and right, there was a sharpened branch, these branches were obviously sent out by traps, and the power was not great, but the dark branches made Ax absolutely not want to touch, because Aix was almost certain that these branches were coated with poison.

Ax seemed to have been prepared, and before the branch could shoot at him, he had already jumped upward, and with a light touch on the big tree beside him, he was already standing on top of a branch, and of course the branch did not touch Ax at all.

Ax didn't relax, he was just sure that he had never touched any traps, but the traps were still activated, which showed that someone had artificially activated the trap, and the target should be himself.

Suddenly, there was a sound of wind behind Aix, Ax didn't have time to turn back, one foot hooked the branch, leaned forward directly, and hung directly upside down on the branch, and Ax finally saw what attacked him at this time.

It was an ape more than a man tall, with dark gray fur that was very indistinguishable in the woods, two forearms that were very long, and five fingers as slender as a man, and one could imagine that its fingers were no less flexible than a human. What caught Ax's attention the most was the long tail, because it was a two-headed snake, with two snakeheads and four eyes firmly fixed on him.

The ape stomped heavily on the branch where Ax was standing, and then immediately jumped forward, not stopping on the branch to attack the upside-down Aix. Aix, on the other hand, sighed in pity, for as long as the ape stayed on the branch of the security tree for a moment, Ax was sure to leave it behind.

Aix returned to the branches, crouched down, ready to dodge, the ape was obviously very clever and patient, and immediately hid after a sneak attack, looking for the next opportunity.

Aix's body was motionless, but his eyes scanned his surroundings, watching for any movement around him. Although this forest is not dense, not even leaves, but the shadows of the trees are intertwined with light and darkness, so that Aix cannot find the ape at all, and the only thing Ax knows now is that the ape did not leave, but hid in the shadows and waited for an opportunity.

"I thought it was an ape, but I didn't expect it to be an old fox." Ax muttered to himself, and then, with a slight touch of his right hand on the branch, he jumped under the tree, and then quickly hid behind a big tree, and quickly fled into the distance under the cover of the big tree.

After Ax began to act, the ape really began to pursue, apparently not wanting to let Ax go. However, there were no thick branches around, only the place where Ax had just stood, so the ape stepped on the branch again and chased after Aix, but this time it was not able to pass through, but hit his head against a wall and fell straight down.

"Haha, no matter how cunning the fox is, you can't fight the old hunter." Ax appeared not far away, smiling as the ape crashed to the ground.

It turned out that Aix didn't leave, the fleeing figure was just a phantom, in order to lure it out, and that mechanism was just a simple magic barrier, and it didn't have much power, but the ape's strength was not very good, the trouble was only its speed and concealment in the forest, and now, there was really no big threat.

"I even want to resist." Ax suddenly sent a message that something seemed to be approaching him quickly, and immediately thought of the snake-like tail of the ape, so he stepped forward with his right foot, and just stepped on one of the snake's heads, but the other snake's head bit Aix's ankle. However, he stopped only a stone's throw from Aix's ankle, for a short knife appeared abruptly at the intersection of the two-headed snake, and if the snake's head moved forward any further, it would be split in half.

"Outsider, please let it go, we will allow you to pass through our territory." At this moment, an old voice sounded, Aix turned his head and found that not far from him, the plestome ape, which had always been very old, was standing there, these apes were really suitable for this forest, the old ape was already so close, Aix didn't even find out, if the other party sneaked attack, Ax would definitely be in a hurry.

"Your territory? Isn't this the Isle of Shadows? Ax asked suspiciously, but the short knife in his hand did not slacken at all.

"This is Shadow Island, but there are also some races here, and we plesious people lived here in the era, because we are good at hiding, so we are a gatekeeper, recording all the people who enter Shadow Island, and reporting his tracks." The old ape said without concealment.

Ax didn't know much about Shadow Island, and due to the rush of the incident, Ax barely looked up any information, except for those who were the leaders of Shadow Island, and Ax knew almost nothing about the situation on Shadow Island.

"I was invited by Lord Hammerstone, originally to take Lord Hammerstone's merchant ship, but unfortunately, I encountered some accidents at sea and the merchant ship was destroyed, so I had to come by myself, I am a little unfamiliar with the environment here, please forgive me." Aix explained, his tone softened a lot, but the only thing that remained unchanged was the short knife in his hand.
