Chapter 4: The Shadow Follower
“…………”
As soon as Sulu stood beside the Shadow Follower, the contrast between the two figures was very obvious, almost like an adult and a child.
"Whew, the next thing is to confess the Lord, but ...... It seems a little tricky. ”
Suddenly, Sulu's brow furrowed.
In past life games, there are only two ways to identify the undead creatures: through a contract, or by using necromantic magic.
However, no matter which method is used, Sulu cannot achieve it at this time, so he must come up with another way.
Otherwise, he would have to give up on this guy.
Just when Sulu felt extremely distressed, a childish voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
[Hint: As long as you imprison it in prison, it belongs to you.] After that, you can choose to own it or exchange it for the corresponding soul points. 】
Hearing this, Su Lu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, it turned out that this choice could still be made after capturing the prisoner.
But after a brief moment of stunnedness, endless shock ensued.
This is the real world, how can there be a game prompt?
His question was not answered, for the voice appeared once, and then seemed to fall silent.
"Catch it first? Well, just do it. ”
Sulu wasn't sure if it would work, but there wasn't time for him to hesitate right now, because this was the Death Hill, and no one knew where a bunch of undead creatures would emerge.
So, for example, he quickly settled this matter and got out of here.
As for the method of captivity, he had already seen it on the panel of the Endless Prison before, otherwise he would not have rushed to this level 20 dungeon.
"In the name of the Endless Prison, detention!"
Sulu took a deep breath and raised his right hand flat in front of him in the same way as he released magic in the game, and said slowly.
As soon as the words fell, there was a soft buzz, and the surrounding void began to slowly distort.
After a while, the distorted void gradually underwent some changes, and a simple black iron gate appeared like a phantom.
With the passage of time, the illusory black iron gate became more and more solid.
With a bang, the black iron gate more than three meters high slammed into the ground, crushing the corpses on the ground into pieces and raising a cloud of dust.
However, the matter did not end there, and with a click, the black iron gate was slowly opening, revealing the darkness of the abyss inside.
Inside this door is the gateway to the Endless Prison?
Su Lu looked at the black iron gate that appeared in front of him, and couldn't help but have a doubt in his heart.
But such a thought was only for a moment, and he did not want to go in and see it himself, knowing that this door gave people a very dangerous feeling, as if the soul could be swallowed at any moment.
"Soul Chains!"
When everything was ready, Sulu whispered
As his voice sounded, a black chain shot out from inside the door, binding the body of the shadow follower like a snake, and then a huge force suddenly came from the chain, pulling it into the door.
At the same time, the black iron gate gradually became transparent like a phantom.
[Ding, complete the first prisoner capture.] 】
[Please choose: Gain Prisoner Possession, or exchange it for 70 Soul Points.] 】
"Gain prisoner ownership."
Immediately, Sulu did not hesitate and immediately chose the former.
Are you kidding?
70 soul points, which can't be exchanged for anything good in the endless prison at all, at most it can be exchanged for a day for low-level prisoners.
So relatively speaking, it is more cost-effective to directly have a growth meat shield.
[Ding, gain the possession of the "Shadow Follower", you will be able to summon it from the Prison Companion.] 】
"Summon the Shadow Followers."
Sulu pondered for a moment, and finally decided to summon it immediately, after all, it was an extra guarantee.
Suddenly, a black mist suddenly appeared, and then the body of the shadow retinue slowly revealed in the mist.
"Well, since you've become my subordinate, you have to take a name...... Let's call it a tank! And, it seems like I need to find you a set of clothes. ”
Sulu looked at the tank in front of him and said.
It's okay if it's a woman, but it's strange to be surrounded by a man who doesn't wear clothes.
However, this guy is just too big.
If you look for a piece of clothing for it, it is unlikely to be found in this land of the dead, and it is estimated that it will have to be specially made outside.
"Alas......"
Just when Sulu was disappointed, a corpse not far away caught his attention.
I saw that the corpse was wrapped in black armor, and it also held a giant sword that looked like a door panel in its hand, and it looked like a black knight.
On top of that, the corpse was about the size of a tank.
"Hey, Tank, go and rip that armor off and put it on yourself."
Su Lu was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly gave an order to the big guy beside him.
For a moment, the shadow followers didn't speak, and walked slowly in the direction Sulu pointed.
When it walked to the corpse, it neatly stripped off the armor and put it on itself, even the giant sword, hanging it casually on the card of the armor on its back.
I have to say that this armor is quite suitable for tanks.
Such an airtight helmet instantly became a mighty black-armored knight.
At this time, no one can easily tell that the tank is an undead creature on the surface, at most it is considered to be a tall soldier.
And perhaps because of the armor, the undead aura on the tank's body was actually shielded.
"Well, that's good, now follow me!"
Sulu patted the tank's armor with satisfaction, and a strange smile appeared on his face.
Now that the shadow retinue has been recognized, it is now necessary to continue on the original route.
The tank followed him unhurriedly, like a dutiful bodyguard.
I never expected that this trip would unexpectedly harvest a surprise.
You must know that the potential of the Shadow Follower is quite a lot, as long as it grows enough, it can be called a qualified meat shield.
However, there is one thing that Sulu could not have imagined in any case.
Shortly after he left, a black-robed man came to the spot where the Shadow Follower had appeared, staring at the pit on the ground with a gloomy face.
"The other undead were not robbed, but the only shadow follower disappeared."
The black-robed man looked around, stroked the crow on his shoulder with one hand, and whispered, "But...... What old fellow would know that I have a shadow follower hiding here? ”
As his voice rang out, the black, scorched earth around him began to wriggle.
With a muffled pop, rotting arms stretched out from the ground, and the oozing howl spread out in all directions, like hell on earth.
"Hmph, if I run into that thief who stole the fruit, I'll definitely tear him and those stupid guys to shreds."
Suddenly, the black-robed man took off the hood on his head, revealing a pale face, and said in a gloomy manner.
There is no doubt that this guy is a sinister and cunning necromancer, and his rank is definitely not low.
If I meet that thief, I will definitely make him regret making that decision.
……………………
It's just that this matter doesn't have much to do with Sulu anymore.
Because, at this time, he had already left that area.
You must know that this mound of death is very vast, even larger than the territory of the Salol Empire, and each area has its own lord, who may be a lich, a black knight, or an undead.
But they share a common oath that neither will set foot on anyone else's territory unless it is to start a war.
So the odds of Sulu encountering that guy aren't very high.
After Sulu left the area, he followed the memories in his mind and walked towards the depths of the Death Hill, and was besieged by a wave of level 5 skeletons on the way.
Fortunately, tanks were in front of him during the attack.
Otherwise, his life would have been confessed here.
However, after this battle, Sulu was surprised to find that the tank was much more powerful than he had imagined, and all it had to do was swing the greatsword in his hand, and the skeletons of bones would instantly shatter into slag.
It is precisely because of this that Sulu has become much more vigilant on the next road.
Knowing that this is not a game world, he doesn't want to become a cold corpse, sleeping forever in this black soil.
"Alas...... It would be nice to have teleportation skills, at least you don't have to go that far. ”
At this time, Sulu glanced at the pitch-black sky above and sighed helplessly.
The biggest difference between the real world and the game is that no matter how long he walked, he never got tired.
Now he had only walked for more than an hour, and his legs were so heavy that he couldn't lift them up.
The only good news is that he is not far from his destination now, and as long as he walks some distance ahead, he can reach a place where he can farm souls.
"Huh? How can there be people here, and still swaggering forward? ”
Just as Sulu was about to sit down and rest for a while, a large team not far away caught his attention.
Looking closely, I saw that the huge team of thousands of people, all wearing silver-white armor, was moving forward unhurriedly, they were very conspicuous in this dark world, like the starlight of the night.
If this team were replaced with undead creatures, Sulu wouldn't be surprised.
But those guys are all human, and they're an orderly team.
Why are they here?
You must know that even a gold-level powerhouse would not dare to march blatantly when he came here.
Aren't those guys afraid of being discovered by the lich?
"Wait, are they the Bruno Tigers?"
Suddenly, Sulu's mind came to mind the Tiger Bruno mercenary he had met earlier.
If that's the case, it all makes sense.
First let the ordinary mercenaries guard the entrance to the hill of death, and then let the elite troops enter it, as if they were looking for something.
