Chapter 770: The Night Ends
Poof!
Mawson held a flaming heart in his hand, his scarlet eyes looked around, and the figures hidden in the shadows quietly retreated.
With several huge corpses under his feet, feeling the energy surging in his body, Mawson experienced the thrill of evolution for the first time.
His entire left arm was broken at the shoulder, his right hand was covered with cracks, and his body was covered with large and small scars, some of which could even be seen with pale bones and faint internal organs.
Not long ago, he was besieged by three monsters, and although he killed all of them in the end, he himself was seriously injured.
The flames he had absorbed from the fire demon were depleted, and although he appeared to be imposing on the surface, he had actually run out of oil lamps.
Opening his mouth, Mawson swallowed the heart of the flame in his hand in one gulp.
Click, click!
Lava dripped down the corners of his mouth, and the energy in his body was replenished.
"Is anyone interested in my food?"
Mawson said coldly.
"This place is yours?"
"I still need you ...... what I want"
Poof!
Before he could finish speaking, a red light shot out of Mawson's eyes, which shot through a wall in an instant, and a scream came from the darkness, followed by the sound of a hasty flight.
"Does anyone else have an opinion?"
Since there was no cheap pick-up, those ill-intentioned figures retreated one after another, and soon only Mawson himself was left in this area.
He stood on the corpse, and a strange feeling welled up in his heart, as if something in the corpse was gradually disappearing, and then transferred to his own body.
The change is slow, but Mawson believes that when the change is over, there will be a big increase in his strength.
He dragged three corpses up to a nearby tall building, standing on the top of the building and looking around, the whole city broke out in fighting, fighting and shouting, but strangely, there were always a few areas of the city, which seemed relatively calm.
Presumably, there must be a presence like Mawson in those places.
Mawson also noticed that in the heart of the city, there was a space completely shrouded in darkness.
It's dark here, but there's a faint light.
But it was so dark that it seemed to be swallowed up by the light.
And all monsters, no matter what happens, will not be near the central area.
If all the strength is there, then Mawson still plans to go to the central area to investigate, but now, he is full of injuries and his strength has dropped greatly, and it is still too dangerous to rush there.
An hour later.
There was nothing left on the three corpses for him to absorb.
At this moment, Mawson suddenly let out a low sigh.
"Get out!"
The shadow in the corner of the wall squirmed like a living thing, and then the shadow stood up against the wall.
"Don't be nervous, I don't have any ill intentions."
Although the shadow was not far in front of Mawson, his voice seemed to come from all directions.
"What are you doing here?"
Mawson recognized this guy as the shadow that had snatched the green-skinned monster from him not long ago.
"Relax, I have no ill will, and with your strength, you don't have to fear me, when the flames cover this area, the shadows will have nowhere to hide, and I will no longer exist."
The shadow squirmed, eventually turning into a dark-skinned young man with a pair of pointed ears.
"I'm Shadow, what do you call you?"
Mawson thought for a moment, "Surtr. ”
"Hmm......"
"The name of the demon, it seems that your identity should be extremely noble......"
"Say what you mean."
Mawson was a little impatient.
The Shadow smiled awkwardly as he rubbed and pointed at the corpse at Mawson's feet.
"Mighty Mr. Surtr, you have enjoyed your spoils, and now they should be of little use to you."
"If it's convenient, you might be able to give it to me."
"It's inconvenient." Mawson refused without hesitation.
"Uh......"
Shadow smiled flatteringly, "I might be able to pay some." ”
"Of course, my strength is far behind yours, but my ability also has merit, and when night falls, there will be no place in this city that I can't go."
"So if you know the city, no one is better than me."
"I think you might be interested in these things."
Truth be told, the Shadow's proposal did make Mawson feel tempted.
Until now, Mawson couldn't figure out what the so-called Origin Treasure was, he was thrown here by the engineer, without explaining and without purpose, and Mawson didn't even know what he should do.
If you want to get the most out of it, there's nothing wrong with starting here.
"Tell me, what do you know?"
"If you're satisfied, they're all yours."
Mawson kicks a corpse at the Shadow's feet.
Countless flames poured out from the depths of the cells, and after a period of digestion, some new abilities had begun to manifest in Mawson.
The flames lit up like day, and the shadows had no choice but to shrink aside.
Shadow sat down on the corpse, "You were tricked into coming here because of a treasure, it doesn't matter how we got here, in fact, I don't know how long this space has existed. ”
"But from the beginning of its birth to the present, no one has been able to leave this place."
"During the day, when the city returns to normal, each of us will work and work like normal people, and it is only at night that we will return to our original appearance."
"But it's a pity that our memories can only be awakened at night, when we can clearly remember everything that happened during the day and night, but when the darkness disappears, we lose our memories and abilities, and become ordinary people again."
Shadow said.
"What's in that area in the center of the city?"
Mawson asked suddenly.
The Shadow couldn't help but shudder, and he didn't know what he was thinking, his dark face turned faintly pale.
"I don't know." The Shadow shook his head.
"You haven't been there?"
"You don't deserve the reward I gave you."
Mawson said.
"No, I did."
"But I don't know what happened there, what I saw, it seemed like it was just a moment, I lost consciousness, and by the time I came back to my senses, a whole night had passed."
"Fortunately, the central area is a forbidden place for the entire city, and no one approaches it, otherwise I would have been killed a long time ago."
Mawson frowned, the mystery of this central area was still beyond his imagination.
Is there a so-called Origin Treasure hidden there, or is it just a trap or constraint on the Engineer?
There was too little information in his hand, and Mawson couldn't judge it for a while.
"What's going on with the fight mechanics here?"
Mawson asked.
But at this moment, the whole building suddenly shook violently, and the shadow looked regretful, "Today's night ended relatively early, but unfortunately, I may not be able to get your other two loot." ”
"We look forward to seeing you next time."
The sudden white light suddenly shrouded Mawson's body, and Mawson tried to keep his eyes open, but he still couldn't see the surrounding scenery clearly.
The night is over.
