Chapter 224: The Shadow of Truth
The old demon seems to be trapped now.
In all directions, there were super-high-level monster colonies blocking the path out, but he could only stay in this small area, unable to move.
Although it is a side quest, the system gives too little information, just a target to find, but does not tell him how to find it.
The old demon actually doubted that the so-called Shadow Clan Holy Land was in the safe zone where he stayed, like a map like an underground temple, so he also tried to look around to see if there was anything suspicious, but the result made him very frustrated.
It's not around here, and there's no underground map, but it's surrounded by a large number of monsters, although it doesn't have the intention of rushing in to attack the old demon, but it also makes it impossible for the old demon to get out of this safe area, unable to escape, and it's naturally impossible to find the target of the mission.
The old demon returned to the place where he had been teleported earlier, sat down under the tall rock, and began to think carefully.
The system will not give an unsolvable task, if there is no solution, then the player will not be able to complete it at all, so since the system gives the old demon side story task at this level, it means that it must be able to be completed at this level, the difference is that the old demon can find a way to complete the task.
Could it be to let players get out of the encirclement of these monsters by stealth? The old demon thought so, but then shook his head again.
The community of monsters is relatively dense.,The old demon is not sure that it won't be discovered when using the latent skill.,You know,The monster level exceeds the old demon too much.,It's easy to be seen through the latent state.,In that case,What's the difference between the old demon and the old demon sent directly to the door?
Since the stealth skill doesn't work, what other way is there to get through the monster's encirclement?
The old demon pondered for a long time, and now he can only be sure that this mission may not be for the old demon to fight, the first task difficulty lies in how to get out, and the mission goal he is looking for must be outside the monster encirclement.
Even with the time spent exploring around before, the old demon has spent a full hour in this safe zone, but he is still at a loss for how to complete the task.
The time limit for the task given by the system is 12 hours, although it can overdraft the next day's game time, but the longer the time drags on, the more unfavorable it is to the old demon, don't forget, the next day the old demon they still have a group cross-server game to play, if this task has been so dry, it is very unfavorable for the competitive state of the old demon the next day.
This is the first time that the old demon has been so worried about a task...... Riding Montenegro and relying on speed to rush straight over? This won't work, who knows if those monsters will attack from a distance, and if they are directly knocked down when riding on the back of Black Mountain, then it will be called bad.
The old demon walked around in place repeatedly, thinking about what to do, not only thinking about various ways to rush out, but also thinking about everything that happened when he entered this map, he always felt that there must be something that was missed, or something he didn't notice, and these are probably the key to completing his mission.
As he continued to think, time passed little by little, but he still couldn't think of any negligence, which made the old demon scratch his ears and cheeks a little, and his hair fell out in worry.
It's impossible to just give up on the mission and wait where you are for 12 hours, right?
Just as the old demon was thinking this, he casually looked at the ground again, where there was the strange projection of the tall rock...... Hey? Like, what's the difference...... The nine shadows of the rock...... The old demon seemed to have a sudden thought of something, and at once he threw himself under the rock, and began to carefully observe the shadow of the rock.
This place is indeed quite strange, but also quite weird, obviously there is only one light source in the sky, but the shadow of the object is projected out of nine, although the old demon can't explain this phenomenon, but just now, he suddenly discovered this, maybe such a shadow will have some help for his task or not necessarily?
After carefully measuring the shadow of the rock, the old demon was immediately overjoyed.
He still remembered that when he first entered this map, the nine shadows of the rocks were still evenly distributed, just like the nine petals of a flower, however, at this time, the old demon found that the shadows of the rocks had become a little uneven.
The other eight shadows remained the same, but one of them was slightly offset, making the petals look a little incongruous.
12 degrees! The angle of the offset shadow was a full 12 degrees, no wonder the old demon saw the shadow of the rock at a glance.
Suddenly looking up, the old demon looked at the moon in the sky, he still remembered that when he entered the map, the moonlight in the map happened to be directly above, however, at this time, the position of the moon began to move with the passage of time.
Really! The old demon looked at it for a while, and found that the shadow of the rock was skewed, which happened to be the projection produced by the moon after it moved!
In other words, among the nine shadows, only this one with an angle shift is the real shadow of the rock, and the remaining eight shadows are all illusions!
What the hell is this place, why does it produce such an illusion, the old demon is not clear, after all, this is in the game, not reality, a virtual world, it is not strange that there will be such a strange scene, what he cares about now is this real shadow, will it be the key to his mission.
His mission is to find the Shadow Clan Holy Land, and in this map, there is such a strange shadow scene...... It's hard not to associate them together.
"Leave him alone! Try it out and find out! The old demon thought for a moment, then got up and began to move forward in the direction pointed by the real shadow.
It didn't take long for the old demon to slow down, because he remembered that not far ahead, the monster community was about to appear.
When he saw the monster that appeared, the old demon finally realized that he had really found the key to the task.
The monsters here are a group of Dark Beamon Behemoths! The level is also level 80, the same level as the Void Shadow Dragon that the old demon saw at the beginning, in fact, the old demon had also seen them when he was exploring the map before, but at that time, the old demon just saw their level from a distance, and immediately turned around and left, he didn't dare to mess with it at all.
However, now combined with the strange shadows in the map, the old demon found out the strangeness, although these dark Beamon are scattered in a large area, but coincidentally, all of them are distributed in the direction pointed by the real shadow, when the old demon sees them again along this direction, he finally found out what is the difference between the dark Beamon distributed in this direction and the monsters in other directions.
That is, the Dark Beamon Behemoths here are all physical creatures, and they ...... There are shadows!
I don't know what the name of this map is, but one thing the old demon can be sure of, that is, most of the monsters here are related to the "shadow" in one way or another, such as the Void Shadow Dragon that I saw at first sight, and those wailing souls, etc., these creatures, either have a shadow in the name, or they are like ghosts, they are disembodied creatures, in short, they all have one thing in common, that is, under the moonlight, you can't see their shadows.
If it were in normal times, the old demon would probably not notice this, but when he received this task and found the key, he finally remembered how the dark Beamon guarding in this direction was different from the creatures in other directions.
"I finally get it!" The old demon sighed and said, "It's really not easy, it took so long to figure out what to do!" ”
Looking at his skill bar, there was an icon lying quietly in the corner, which was ShadowClan's natural skill...... Wherever you go!
Yes, the old demon finally understands the task, this task can't rely on lurking and sneaking, nor can it rely on mounts to break through, since it's a side story mission of the Shadow Clan, then completing the task will fall on your own racial talent skills.
The meaning of the system is to use the shadow companion skill by yourself, relying on these dark Beamon beasts with entities and shadows to break through this level...... As soon as I thought of this, the old demon couldn't help but want to curse, this task is really outrageous enough, teleport in, if you don't wait for a while, the position of the moon will not shift, and the direction of finding the real shadow is naturally impossible to talk about, if it is not for the old demon to be careful, when he comes in, he imprints the shadow shape of the rock in his mind, I am afraid that it is very likely that it will take a longer time to discover this key ...... The old demon cautiously, first with the help of the shadows of the surrounding trees, with the help of the shadow following skill, slowly transferred, but finally approached the shadow of a sleeping dark Beamon beast.
The unique perspective of the Shadow Companion skill made the old demon very uncomfortable, but at this time, he couldn't care so much.
In the magical background of the West, the Beamon Behemoth is described as a powerful creature that can fight with dragons in hand-to-hand combat, with its huge size, extremely strong body, incomparable strength, and long claws like steel, it is the true king of land warfare.
However, this creature also has a disadvantage, that is, their eyesight is not very good, and they rely on their sense of smell rather than their eyes when judging enemies.
In fact, if the old demon really wanted to use his latent skills to pass through the side of this group of Dark Beamon, then he would wake up these terrifying creatures at the first time, and then the old demon would be torn to pieces by these guys with a level of up to 80 in an instant.
However, when the old demon used the Shadow Companion skill, the situation was different......
