Chapter 547: The Man Who Hides in the Shadows
The Land of Shadows, which is a small map located within the Relics of the Gods. 【】
The old demon in this place actually came here once, that is, the last time he did the trial mission, when he took the shadow crystal, although compared to that time, the old demon's equipment and character level have improved considerably, but when he returned here again, he was still careful and careful.
After riding all the way to the black mountain here, the old demon also had to come down and walk, starting from the entrance, the old demon encountered a group of Void Walkers and Dark Beamon, in the night, although the figures of these monsters loomed, but the red name on their heads showed that these monsters were completely active attack monsters, and the old demon did not want to cause them to beat themselves.
He used his lurking skills from afar, bypassed the monsters, and then entered the Shadow Field.
This place is the area where the old demon teleported to when he arrived at the Holy Land of Shadows, and he still clearly remembers that this place is actually a labyrinth!
According to the location of the temple indicated by the shadow map, the old demon must re-enter this place, but in order to walk through the field of shadows, he must judge the true direction according to the shadow movement of the scene.
In this place, the north and south directions of the player's minimap are actually chaotic, and whoever believes in the instructions is an absolute fool, which the old demon has discovered before, and if you want to judge the real direction, you must judge according to the movement of the object's shadow.
But what is more annoying is that when the old demon entered the field of shadows, the system time was dark, and this dark night was not a dark night with a bright moon and sparse stars, but a night without a light source, and the scenery farther around was already a little blurry, and the player's vision was greatly affected.
If the old demon was a dark elf, there would be no obstacle in this place, but he was not, and in such a situation, it was impossible to judge the direction based on the movement of the shadow.
In desperation, the old demon can only choose to wait, fortunately, the night time of the system is not long, and as of the time when the old demon enters the field of shadows, there is another hour or so, and the daylight of the system is coming, so the old demon can only wait patiently.
Touching a smooth big stone next to him, and glancing at the shadow it left behind, the old demon knew that among the nine shadows of this stone, only one was actually true, and only this real shadow would change its position in accordance with the law with the different directions of the light source, and the remaining eight shadows would change disorderly, and it was not difficult to find the real shadow, as long as it was illuminated by a light source.
In fact, if you want to find that real shadow, it's also very simple, and you don't need to wait for the system daylight time to come, the old demon is also well prepared for this main quest, and there are torches in his backpack, as long as you take it out and use it to ignite, you can generate a light source.
However, such an act is undoubtedly looking for death, if the torch is lit, the bright light source will undoubtedly expose the old demon to the vision of the surrounding monsters, and at that time, the old demon will be overwhelmed by the swarming monsters, whether it is Dark Beamon or Void Walker, or the shadow dragon flying in the sky, these 75 or even may be level 80 powerful monsters, will become his nightmare...... Therefore, the old demon can only choose to wait.
Fortunately, the old demon is not an impatient person, he quietly hides in the shadow of a withered tree, lurking, quietly observing the movements of the monsters around him, looking at the system time from time to time, silently calculating when the day will come.
Then, from time to time, imagine what the main quest of the Shadow Temple will be, through the information that the old demon learned from various sources, he knew that the Shadow Temple was sealed and buried in the ground, and it seemed that there were twelve powerful shadow angels guarding it, and these shadow angels, who were called the twelve saints by the Shadow Clan, would give players a test.
As for what kind of test it is, the old demon doesn't know for the time being, but one thing is certain, it can't be to kill these twelve shadow angel bosses, if that's the case, the old demon is likely to give up this main quest altogether.
You know,The reason why it's called the main quest,That means that most of the task content is completed by the player's reading power.,Unless it's when you encounter some links that need to kill a powerful BOSS,Players can find someone to team up to help.,Now the old demon's task prompt didn't tell him to find more people to help.,That's why he came alone.,If it's really going to fight with the twelve shadow angels.,He doesn't know how many times he has to hang up to complete it...... Therefore, the old demon is sure that there may be a time for fighting, but maybe the number of such battles is not much.
So, since there won't be too many battles, it's a bit hard to guess what the test of the twelve shadow angels will be...... Time passed like this, and just as the old demon was thinking like this, he suddenly found that a dark Beamon beast not far in front of him on his right suddenly stood up from the ground.
This action, if it is in the daytime, the old demon will not feel strange, but in such night conditions, it seems very abrupt!
You must know that in addition to elemental creatures like Voidwalker who don't need to sleep, Dark Beamon needs to sleep, it is a physical creature, it will be affected by the time of the system, it will be active during the day and dormant at night, but the Dark Beamon in front of him suddenly woke up from its sleep before the day came!
Moreover, it woke up without saying a word, and with a puzzled expression, stretched its neck, sniffing around with its thick nostrils...... As soon as he saw it, the old demon knew that it must have discovered some intruder! And it's likely to be a lurking assassin, a sign that a monster has spotted a lurking player!
In this field of shadows, in addition to the old demon, there is another person!?
The old demon was suddenly interested, he knew that it was an assassin player, and he might not be able to wait until dawn, and wanted to try to find a way out, but he accidentally stepped into the warning range of Dark Beamon, and the sleeping Dark Beamon was alarmed.
Is it a normal Assassin player, or is it a ShadowClan Assassin like yourself?
After thinking about it, the old demon ruled out the first possible surname, after all, ordinary assassin players, who would come to this place? Even if you come to level up, you can't choose such a high place, right? Then, it could only be another Shadow Clan player, either he received the same trial mission as himself, or, like himself, he was doing the final main story, looking for the Shadow Temple.
It's not impossible, after all, the shadow map, as long as the player works hard to collect it, can actually be easily collected by exchanging it with other people, and then finding a dark caste orange or purple equipment, it is possible to point out the map, so it is not surprising to say that someone is also looking for the shadow temple like himself.
Unexpectedly, the dark Beamon was spinning around a few times, and finally lay back on the ground again and began to sleep, which made the old demon feel a little surprised, which showed that the lurking assassin player, when he was about to be discovered, actually moved out of the warning range of the Beamon Behemoth!
This is a terrible thing, you know, the few times Dark Beamon got up and turned, in fact, also made his alert range move, and to be able to accurately judge the change of Dark Beamon's alert range in the latent state, and move with it without being detected, this requires very good consciousness to be able to do!
In an instant, the old demon already understood that this assassin player hiding in the shadows was also a very powerful master, and it was possible that his assassin talent was not assassinated, but latent, otherwise, it would be impossible to reduce the threat value and get out after attracting the attention of Dark Beamon...... Who will it be? The old demon became more and more curious.
But curiosity is curiosity, the old demon is also secretly vigilant, after all, I don't know what the main plot test of the Shadow Temple is, and it is not certain that this Shadow Clan player like himself will become a competitor.
After Dark Beamon fell asleep, the surroundings fell silent again, and those Voidwalkers who didn't need to sleep wandered around, but they didn't have the vigilant posture of Dark Beamon anymore, and it seemed that the assassin players hiding in the shadows seemed to have found a place to hide, just like the old demon.
The old demon is not a hunter, so naturally he can't use his true eyes to find the traces of the other party, so he can't figure out where the other party is hiding now.
A long and silent hour passed, the sky gradually became brighter, the time of the system changed to day, and a sun appeared in the sky, which soon climbed up.
With the light source, the surrounding objects also have shadows, but the petal-like nine shadows make this place look very weird, the old demon carefully compared the position of the sun in the sky, and the movement of the object's shadow, and finally found the real shadow.
The sun of the system is also according to reality, rising from the east, so the position of the shadow pointing is the west, so the old demon quickly determined the north-south direction of the map.
The location of the Shadow Temple was in the northeast direction, and after the old demon saw it, he began to act.
Although I don't know where the hidden assassin player is at this time, and whether he has found the right direction like himself, the old demon knows that it is better not to expose himself, so he has been lurking, bypassing one monster after another from afar, and constantly moving towards the northeast.
When he finally stepped out of the Field of Shadows, leaving the misty forest behind, he didn't show his form, just stayed quietly at the exit, waiting.
He was waiting to see if it was possible to wait for the Hidden One to appear...... The fact is indeed as the old demon expected, and I don't know how long it took for a figure to suddenly appear from the exit position..............................
