Halfling's death didn't even send ripples through Raven's heart.

That's the price of risk.

Everyone has the right to stay at home and be obedient and leave their fate to others.

They also have the right to go out of the house and take a leap to see if they can become the strongest in their own destiny.

In this cruel world, someone succeeds, someone fails, and that's it.

Raven never intended to save everyone, and if he did, then he would be a paladin and not an assassin.

All he can do is to keep getting stronger until he ignites the divine fire, has a floating continent of his own, and no longer has to look at anyone's face to be a man.

Enter the shadow plane for the fifth hour.

Once again, the surrounding situation has changed, the sense of taste has failed, and the whole person seems to be in an ink landscape painting.

In fact, from now on, it can be regarded as truly entering the shadow plane, and the previous one was at most the outer crack of the shadow plane. No, it's a bit inaccurate to say that it's real, because the Shadow Plains belongs to a smaller branch plane of the shadow plane, and it is impossible to support the entry of powerhouses above the golden rank here. Even if you suppress your strength, you can't do it.

Taking out the Red Knight's strategy chessboard, which had changed color, Raven found that his prediction had taken effect, and even the two small white chessboards representing Ellison's reinforcements had collapsed.

This means that Ellison will not have any more reinforcements.

Even so, Ellison still had a lot of chess pieces in his hands: a king and a queen, two bishops, two chariots, and five Praetorian Guards.

On the other hand, the black chess piece representing Raven has only two pieces on this side, one king and one rook.

The king is naturally Raven, and the rope represents the chariot naturally.

The balance of power is still very large!

The shadow plane repels any creature that has nothing to do with shadows. The Strangled Golem is not a living being, it is simply a construct with a soul. In the eyes of shadow creatures, it is either of the same kind, or it is the same as a stone.

In fact, shortly after the large force of adventurers entered the shadow plane, Rope One also entered, following Raven's team for about a kilometer or so.

Now that the outsiders have cleared the field, Rope One naturally returns to Raven's side.

Raven said to the strategy board, "Okay. Now that the actors are all here, let's start the show. I only have two predictions: one is that Ellison is a person who pays attention to long-term results, and he will continue to carry on the plan like a gambler with a red eye; The second is that his team will be inside. As for the final prediction, I'll wait until you're willing to open the third phase for me. ”

On the other hand, Ellison's face was so dark that he couldn't bear it. Of course, it can't be seen in the shadow plane.

He lost a lot.

The temporary helpers he had hired at a great deal of money were all hung up, and there were two teams of silver-level adventurers.

In the end, it was his immediate subordinates who survived the first five hours.

However, under the repeated attacks of various shadow creatures, his subordinates also suffered heavy losses.

The entire force of forty men now consists of five bronze Shadow Thieves, two Silver Beginner Dark Guards, the old thief Vanderfa and a Silver Intermediate Magician, as well as Ellison's cronies, Cattrick, who has never been a striker.

It's not that none of them have ever been to the Shadow Plane, but the old thief is the only one who has been to the Shadow Plains. But the old thief is not very familiar with this place. Together with the old thief, all the wanderers here took up their positions in the temple to open the Shadow Energy Gauge.

Now Ellison can't care about Raven anymore, he just wants to get the Shadow Orb and leave this hellish place as soon as possible.

The old thief, like Raven, had offered to exit five hours after entering the shadow plane. Ellison gave up.

The Orb of Shadows is essential to him. Because it's so important for Ellison's future.

In Raven's previous game, when Ellison first appeared, he only had 14 points of perception.

Born as a businessman, his basic perception is not low, but that is only based on ordinary people. He knew that those priests who stepped into the Sanctuary rarely had a basic perception below 20 points when they first debuted, and those people were so-called innate transcendent perceptions.

14 o'clock and 20 o'clock seem to be a single-digit difference. But the further back you go, the bigger the gap becomes.

As a native of the world of Ultron, Ellison certainly didn't know the so-called data, but he could clearly feel the difference in talent between himself and the other priests who murdered the church. If the path of the priest is followed at this pace, then when entering the legendary realm, he will have a lot less magic than the priest of the same rank.

This is absolutely unacceptable to Ellison.

When he was most distressed, the news that the old god thief had brought the Shadow Orb came out.

As long as he works in a shadow-related profession, such as being promoted from Priest to Shadow Priest and then Shadow Master, the Shadow Orb can give Ellison a huge perceptual bonus along the way. And the snowball effect that followed would perfectly bridge the gap between him and those gifted pastors.

That's why he knew that Raven had lured him to the Valley of the Shadows, but he had to come.

This is Yangmou!

But when he came, he found that he still underestimated the shadow plane. He didn't have any high-level professionals who had used the Shadow Orb, and that was his biggest mistake.

There was no way, he could only go all the way up. If he goes back with his tail between his legs, his loss will really be a loss.

"Mighty dark sun! Bless me! After saying this, Ellison smiled bitterly. Shadow is the priesthood of the god of thieves, Meske, and the priest of the god of murder can't expect to be blessed here.

"Van der Fah, how do we go now?"

The old thief recalled, "The Valley of Shadows is southeast of the Shadow Plains, so we're going to look for the path to the lower right. ”

"Bottom right?"

"In the second stage, the Shadow Plains is not a flat space. It seems that we are walking on the plain, but in fact we are walking in a hanging painting. There is no point in going forward and backward. In line with the map principle of going up, north, down, south, left, east, right, west, when we walk to a place and see a passage to the right, we just go down. ”

"What? Sorry, I don't understand. ”

"Then you can take someone with me." The old thief didn't explain much.

Ellison just wanted to scold his mother at this time. This situation was beyond his imagination, and he was very unhappy. But he could only rely on the old thief.

At this time, Ellison's two dark guards suddenly spoke: "Master, we are a little uncomfortable, and we feel that life is slowly passing. ”

Ellison immediately turned to look at the old thief.

The old thief shrugged: "You asked me, 'I just sensed the presence of shadow energy, can I come?'" I said yes. I didn't say that creatures that weren't associated with shadows could stay here that long. ”

Ellison's hand trembled a little, but he didn't have a seizure.

These two Dark Guards are indeed his most loyal bodyguards.

On the other hand, he also knew that shadows and darkness were not the same thing. It is Maiske who controls the shadows, and it is Shar the Night Lady who controls the dark priesthood.

"Can you hold on?"

The two Dark Guards looked at each other and said cautiously, "Master, I'm afraid we'll hold out for three hours at most." ”

"We can get to our destination in a maximum of an hour and a half. If all goes well, you'll be able to get out of the shadow plane in two hours. The old thief added.

"Doesn't it go well?"

"Then we're all going to die here." The old thief's words gave Ellison a premonition of unease for the first time.

But then Ellison was dismissive of this: Will my such a luxurious lineup be wiped out here?

If someone else comes over, maybe it really can't help Ellison.

But who is Raven?

The former 118-level God's Fang!

He memorized every rule of the shadow plane.

After the rope converged, Raven no longer had any scruples, and there was no need to wait any longer, and went straight to his destination.

It was a downhill into the Valley of the Shadows.

The black ramp is no different from the rest of the shadow plane.

Gray, gloomy, without a hint of life.

However, Raven tells Ellison that he was wrong!

As long as the shadow here is large enough, then it can hide people, and even all kinds of monsters with huge sizes.

It's a straight downhill ramp, and if there's anything special, it's a black boulder on the side of the trail. The black moonlight above his head shone through, and was separated by the black stone, turning into two slightly less dark light on the left and right.

As Ellison and his party passed by the boulder, the situation suddenly changed. They felt as if they were being pulled ferociously by some mysterious force, as if a thick darkness was engulfing them.

Then, as they began to prepare for battle, the light reappeared, albeit dimly, and when their eyes saw again different shades of black and dark light, they found themselves in a different position, like a straight downward ramp with an abrupt 180-degree reversal.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

In the next moment, a questioning voice suddenly made everyone nervous.

"Where's Martin?"

Person...... One less!
