"Damn it, where did you leave me?" There was an old and decaying aura in the darkness, and Duran coughed in embarrassment. The previous door of flames came so suddenly that he was not prepared for it at all.

Fortunately, the contract assistance system recorded all this truthfully, and Duran quickly called up the previous data and read it.

"You actually have 2,800 experience points to kill the dryad?" Duran was a little surprised, it stands to reason that killing Stuka was not entirely his effort, and a big killing weapon like exploding lava was too powerful. But after thinking about it, if it was completely his own strength to destroy the dryad, then the experience given should be more, after all, it was such a difficult gold-level monster to deal with.

The data after that is clearly shown in Duran's retina:

[You have entered an unknown half-plane]

Duran took a deep breath and used a visual inspection of the pitch-black darkness around him.

The contract assistance system has been refreshed again: [After analysis, this plane is suspected to be a branch of the shadow plane]

"A branch of the shadow plane? Had I been teleported directly into the Valley of Shadows? Duran's conjecture was confirmed, for at this moment, a deep male voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Welcome to the first level of the Tower of Shadows, the Labyrinth of Shadows."

"Maybe you're an ambitious politician, or maybe you're a down-and-out man, but in any case, if you can follow our footsteps to find this place, it proves that you have the qualities and abilities to inherit some of my treasures."

The male voice seemed kind and gentle, but to Duran's ears, it seemed to reach the bottom of his heart, and he couldn't stop it even if he closed his ears.

His treasure? Could it be that this person who spoke was the legendary ** Shi Ruiwen Jin?

Duran said with some excitement: "Hello, Mr. Shi, my name is Duran......"

However, the male voice paid no attention to Duran's meaning, and continued: "If you want to try to talk to me, then it will all be in vain, for I am long gone in this world, and all you hear is a small gramophone technique. ”

Duran touched his nose with a disgraced face, but fortunately no one was watching, otherwise it would be really embarrassing.

"As you can see, you're now on the first level of the Tower of Shadows, the Labyrinth of Shadows - I love playing maze games so forgive me for your presumptuousness, and I'd like to invite you to play with me. Of course, you can't refuse this invitation, because the consequence of refusing it is to be lost forever. ”

Accompanied by Ravenkin's slightly wicked voice, a neat ignition suddenly sounded around Duran.

In an instant, countless candles were lit, and Duran looked out to find himself in a dark corridor, and many candlesticks were quietly placed on both sides of the corridor, and candles were lit on them.

"Shimmer candles?" Duran looked at these props with some surprise as they seemed to be similar to ordinary white candles, and the results he had visually examined were enough to shock the world - every white candle in this place was actually a shimmer-level equipment. Unlike regular candles, these shimmer candles can burn for hundreds of years.

is worthy of being a ** teacher, what a luxury. Duran thought to himself that if he could sneak out a few of these candles, he would be able to sell them for a lot of money. Of course, he had just thought about it so far, the majesty of the legendary mage was still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and if his disrespectful behavior provoked the anger of Ravenjin, it would be the end of it.

"The rules of the game are very simple, the Shadow Labyrinth, as the name suggests, is a maze full of shadow beasts, and walking here, you can be attacked by many primordial creatures of the shadow plane. All you need to do is, of course, kill these shadow beasts, survive, and find the right exit. Sounds simple, doesn't it? However, you need to be warned that from the moment the candle is lit, a rune will be activated on your body. This rune is not harmful to you, but will make your mind clearer. But it's essentially a lighthouse, and if you have some knowledge of planes and shadowology, I'd be happy to explain what that means. ”

Duran's face turned pale, and of course he knew what that meant.

Ravenkin's voice gloated: "In the vast world of shadows, light is the most dangerous thing. You can only protect yourself better if you immerse yourself in the darkness. It's just that you may not be able to do this now, and the runes on your body are equivalent to the brightest lighthouse, and the shadow creatures in the vicinity will be unconsciously attracted to it...... So, from now on, find the exit as soon as possible, and good luck, lad - or girl. ”

Duran took a deep breath, he quickly took out the oak thorn and held it in his hand, ready to fight at any moment.

The long corridor was endless, and although the candlelight could guide his vision, there were still many shadows that could not be seen - shadow creatures were the best at hiding themselves in the dark, and after listening to Ravenkin's words, Duran had to guard against it.

He walked slowly down the road into the darkness.

……

"This is the Tower of Shadows?" Lulu exclaimed, "Why is it pitch black?" ”

"Stupid, Tower of Shadows, it's all shadows, of course you can't see it!" Nana scoffed.

The two goblins would not miss any opportunity to quarrel, and immediately you quarreled with each other, and without Duran restraining them again, Lulu and Nana were like swimming fish back in the water, regaining the level of a generation of noise masters.

"You two can go outside and quarrel, come in after the quarrel, don't worry, we won't wait for you." Kate said coldly that Duran's inexplicable disappearance upset her. Although this guy always has a reassuring temperament, it is easy to make people believe that he can repeatedly turn danger into a disaster, but she is still a little uneasy - this is the place where the ** master buried the treasure, it must be full of dangers, and he doesn't know if he can deal with it alone?

When the group stepped into the Upanishads, they saw a completely different scene from Duran: a gray moon hung high in the sky, and they stood at the entrance of a valley with inexplicable shadows flickering, and the light source was scarce and dim, making it impossible to see the way forward.

"This isn't the Tower of Shadows, it's the Valley of Shadows." Eregar said quickly, "Master Ravenjin's Tower of Shadows should be in the depths of the Valley of Shadows, but according to my information, there are many creatures of the Shadow Plane in the Valley of Shadows, and we must be careful. ”

Everyone's eyes immediately focused on the ogre.

Ironhide asked a little uncomfortably, "What's wrong?" ”

Kate scolded: "Of course it's a way out!" Ironskin, don't you have a little sense of being a warrior? ”

"Me? I? Am I out of the way? The ogre was shocked. Although he showed commendable courage in the face of the Plague Tree Demon, it was in the face of weakness. The enemies ahead were full of unknowns, and the shadow creatures were notoriously unpredictable in their attacks, and these courages were instantly devoured alive by the iron sheets, and they were wiped out cleanly.

It's just that when his gaze swept over his group, he finally found that there seemed to be no other candidate besides him.

Kate and Eregal, one a warlock and the other a wizard, could not have opened the way; Not to mention Abu and the two little goblins, the former is good at selling cuteness, and the latter is proficient in quarrels, these two specialties have nothing to do with the word pioneer.

So he walked into the valley with a bitter face.

Seeing Ironhide's pitiful look, Eregar couldn't help but chuckle, she hadn't seen such an interesting ogre when she was in the [Plateau of Despair].

……

"Ah......h

There was no blood, no wailing, and the visual skill showed that the life of the shadow black cat had dropped from 28 to 0 in the blink of an eye.Duran breathed a sigh of relief and tossed the black cat's body aside. A deep scar appeared on his left shoulder, and if it hadn't been for Duran's timely dodge, the wound would have been deflected by a few feet, and Duran's neck would have been broken by the shadow creature.

It was the worst injury he'd ever suffered to eliminate the eleven shadow creatures along the way. In terms of overall strength alone, the shadow black cat may not be as powerful as the shadow creatures before, but this guy's concealment ability is outrageous. It completely blinded Duran's perception, and when Duran was most relaxed, he suddenly burst into attack and almost took Duran's last name.

Duran could hold back the pain, but he couldn't stop the slowly flowing blood. At this time, there were more than a dozen wounds on his body, although they were not deep, but they still had an impact on his actions. Killing a large number of shadow creatures also gave him a good experience reward, as evidenced by the fact that he was now at a level of 13.

Duran assigned all his experience to the level, and only clicked [Parry Skill - Unloading Energy I] to lv2.This skill can help Duran better unload the sneak attack damage of shadow creatures, and the caste enhancement brought by the level increase is also one of the reasons why he has been able to survive until now.

With plenty of supplies and time to rest, the Labyrinth of Shadows is a great place to level up, but now, Duran feels like a nightmare - an endless stream of shadow creatures hiding in the shadows to take his life, and he has to struggle to escape, the whole process is nothing short of torture.

There was a fork in the road ahead, which was good news for Duran. Before, the scenery around him had not changed all the way, and it was inevitable that people would feel that they had walked into a dead end.

(Three more arrived!) Continue to ask for some Sanjiang tickets, it's so miserable to be blown up, readers who didn't vote hurry up and help~)
