At this moment, the forest worm is obviously a little weak, it is already several laps smaller than when it attacked Moses, but it is still much larger than in the laboratory.

Obviously, the gigantic state just now is not its normal state, but an ability similar to an explosion, and the sequelae is the weakness after the explosion.

The only thing that remained unchanged was that the power of the shadows that enveloped it was still strong, as if it were a living thing, and as the breath of the forest snake moved in and out of its body, the power of the shadow entrenched in the wound on its forehead that was pierced by Moses was the strongest.

Washed by the power of shadows, the wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

A gleam flashed in Ron's eyes, and the physical condition of the forest snake appeared in front of him.

Target: Forest

Constitution: 7.9

Power: 9.3

Dexterity: 6.6

Spirit: 8.4

Elemental Resistance: 2.3

Physical Resistance: 4.2

Status: Weak, Shadow Mark (shattered)

"Shadow sigil?"

Ron stared at this state and frowned, except for a small increase in various statistics, he clearly remembered that there was absolutely no existence of this shadow mark before the forest snake.

The change of the forest worm, the problem must lie in this mark, since such a strong shadow power can repair the injury, it seems that it is not impossible to improve the indicators slightly.

"How did this mark come from?"

The forest snake responded with consciousness, and simple and disordered thoughts entered Ron's consciousness.

It has clearly not yet learned the human way of expression.

Ron thought for a long time and couldn't understand the meaning of what it meant, but vaguely knew that it seemed to have a dream, the world in that dream was dead and silent, there was no trace of life, some were just black shadows that were constantly living and dying, and after wandering in that grotesque world for a long time, it met a life form that finally met a life form, which was a giant brown python than it, and in that giant python, the forest python not only felt the terrifying power, but also felt a trace of instinctive kindness.

The python just looked at it and told it that its name was Marais.

Then the dream awoke, and that was it.

Ron whispered a few syllables, Marais, a strange name, which in ancient Hebrew means, the Serpent of Shadows.

The forest python actually has its own name, and what is even more hellish is that the forest snake has already recognized the name.

Instead of lingering on the name, Ron began searching the True Eye for information about the Shadow Mark.

After searching around, I was surprised to find that there was no record of the shadow mark.

There are only two possibilities, one is that the Shadow Mark is too small for the Ancient Wizards to write about, and the other is that the Shadow Mark appeared after the Scourge of Titans, and the Ancient Wizards knew nothing about it.

Looking at the almost invisible wound on the top of the scarb's head, Ron felt that it was impossible for the ancient wizard to disdain it, and at the same time was full of fear of the mark.

No power can be easily obtained, and every ounce of power must be obtained at a corresponding price, but I don't know what price Marais will pay for this shadow mark, or what price he will pay.

In the darkness in the distance, Ron didn't notice that there were two pairs of eyes watching the changes at the same time.

It was a brown python that was even larger than the forest python, and the giant python lacked a scale in the center of its eyebrows, which was originally wriggling flesh and blood, but now stood a naked man.

It was a man with brown vertical pupils and only the upper body, as if he had grown on the eyebrows of a giant python, and his waist was connected to the eyebrows of the giant python, and there was no lower body at all.

The man's slender body suddenly stretched slightly, "This killer was seriously injured by your descendant's restraint, and even if he survived, he would be useless." ”

"I don't have the bloodline ability to restrain the power of shadows, and a simple dream inheritance ritual isn't enough to defeat the Slayer of Medsel Gardens. The python responded with consciousness.

"If you add a shadow sigil, it's enough. The man smiled, "It's just a shattered shadow mark, though." ”

"You gave that shadow sigil to Marais?" the python's vertical pupils suddenly froze, "Austin, don't forget how you fell, the Lord of the Night is a creature whose real name is it." ”

Marais is one of the few descendants of Ladon's bloodline, and the only one worthy of its attention, which is why it is willing to pour this bloodline into it.

Now Marais is burdened with a shadow mark, and you must know that the bearer of each shadow mark is an enemy of the Lord of the Night.

"Ladon, this is the wizarding world, not the shadow world. ”

Austin felt its anger and patiently explained, "A dream inheritance ritual is not enough for Marais to complete the leap of life level, and has the potential to advance to a first-order creature, but the shadow mark can, if the broken shadow mark can be completed, Marais even has a chance to awaken his true name." ”

"Do you want a descendant who hovers among the weak forever, or do you want a descendant who has a glimmer of hope to be truly strong. ”

"Ladon, there is no absolute security in this world, so I will fall under the siege of the Lava Three-Headed Dog and the Lord of the Night, and be eaten by the Council of Ashes, the Broken Tower, and the Gardens of Medcel, and the enemies of the future will not be as terrible as you think, so they will not be able to destroy my resurrection true name and destroy me completely. ”

"Since you've decided to bet on Ron, the Shadow Mark is just a little bit of a chip for you, and trust me, it might help you win your chance to awaken your true name in the future. Otherwise, when Ron advances to the rank of official wizard, Marais will be abandoned by him, and a sheep is not qualified to stay with a lion. ”

The blood ties made it impossible for them to deceive each other, so Radon knew that Austin was not lying, although he had reservations about every word.

Radon fell silent, having rejected the gift of Austin's Shadow Mark, knowing that accepting the Shadow Mark would doom him to the Lord of the Night, and that Radon had an instinctive fear of an enemy who was not at the same level of life, and this fear even overcame its desire to awaken its true name.

However, at this moment, this shadow mark fell on Marais, a bloodline descendant who was not even a first-order creature, which was full of irony for it.

"Let's go. Austin felt its emotion, and no longer said more, but closed her eyes, flesh and blood squirmed, and her body slowly sank into its body.

"The Council of Ashes and the Broken Tower are about to go to war, and the Medcel Gardens will no longer stand idly by, I can feel what they have done to my former corpse, this time the war must be terrible, and we will soon have enough to eat. ”
