Chapter 107: One Dead, One Alive
"Since you're here, don't be in such a hurry to leave. β
A somewhat feminine voice came from outside the cave, and it was indistinguishable from men and women, but it was like a poisonous snake, which made people shudder.
After another moment, the owner of the voice walked in from outside, he had already destroyed the teleportation array through the previous flight, knowing that the people in the cave could not escape anymore, so he was not in a hurry, he walked very slowly, as if he was pressing the prey's nerves in this way, fully enjoying the fear of the other party.
However, this time he didn't smell the familiar smell in the air, and when he walked up to the young man, there was no panicked expression on the other party's face, so his expression also became a little curious, and he asked, "Aren't you afraid?"
"Should I be scared?" Rob asked rhetorically, looking at the man in front of him quietly.
As if he had heard something ridiculous, the man raised his eyebrows and grinned two rows of teeth, "Do you know who I am?"
"Are you famous?"
"My name is Gaunt, but people here seem to prefer to call me Shadow. The man squatted down while introducing himself, stretched out his hand and pulled out the flying knife on the array plate, "Because shadows are everywhere, no matter how much a person runs, he can't get rid of his shadow, and I'm like everyone's shadow, none of the prey I am targeting can escape, your luck today is very bad, it's really bad." β
By the time Shadow stood up again, he had regained his grip on the throwing knife.
"Not only you, but your companions, I will find them wherever they flee. The shadow licked her lips and grinned.

Trisis and a burly man with a wolf's skin wrapped around his waist hurried to the cave and asked the team guarding outside, "How long has the shadow been in, and why haven't you followed up?"
The guard thought for a moment, "It's only four or five minutes, and the Shadow only told us to wait outside." β
"That cocky idiot. Tricis's face changed when he heard this, and he stomped his feet angrily.
Dahan was a little puzzled, "It's nothing, there are only three people on the other side, and the most powerful of them is the female apprentice of the cattle breeder, who is only a fifth-order, and the shadow alone is enough to deal with them." β
However, Trisis shook his head, "If it were that simple, the stockkeeper wouldn't have escaped sooner. β
The big man frowned, "Tracis, aren't you too sensitive, didn't the stockscraper also say before he left that there was something wrong with his ranch, and he wanted to go back and deal with it." β
"But my men didn't see him on my side half a magic hour ago, and there were a dozen or so lambs missing from the pasture. Trisis sighed," Wolf head, you don't know about the breeder, that guy's scheming is too deep, shadows, spiders, including us, may not be good people, but only him, I can't see what he's thinking all day long, when everyone discussed that matter, I didn't agree with pulling him in, but I must admit that his strength is indeed very strong, the power of the underground world is weaker than the surface, if we want to win this war, we have to try to unite all the forces that can be united, so I finally agreed that you absorbed him, but I never relaxed my vigilance against him, that guy went to pick up people in the morning, and disappeared in the afternoon, in the middle of which he definitely found somethingγ β
The big man named Wolf Head wanted to say something, but then he saw a guy wrapped in a black cloak coming from a distance, and a look of disgust suddenly appeared on his face, and he said in a rough voice, "Tracis, why did you call this nasty guy too." β
"Now we don't know what's going on inside, we all have to join forces, Wolf Head, I know there is a bit of a grudge between you and the spider, but at this time I want you to put aside your old suspicions for the time being and work together. β
The wolf head snorted coldly, "No matter what you say, there's no way I'm going to give my back to this kind of guy." β
The spider also smiled, "Coincidentally, I don't want to join forces with brainless guys, this stupid guy is not as good as those little spiders I raised." β
The wolf head was furious, "You're scolding me?"
"Isn't it, at least my little spider can tell me what's going on inside, and you'll just stand there and scold your mother. The spider said slowly, and as he said this, two little spiders crawled out of the cracks in the rocks and crawled down his trouser legs into his ears.
Trisis was shocked when he heard this, "Can you find out what's going on in the cave?"
"It's just general information, spiders are not too smart, and they can't convey complex information, and the little spider who just went in only told me that there were two people inside, one alive and one dead. The spider waved his hand, and the two little spiders crawled out of his ears again
"Is it the shadow that is alive?" asked the wolf's head with a sinking face.
"I don't know, I told me that my little spiders aren't smart enough, and they can't tell who the shadows are. The spider spread his hands, "Why don't you go in and see for yourself?"
"Go in, go in, I'm not like a coward like you, I can only rely on the little spider to ventilate the news. As he spoke, the wolf head pulled out the double knives at his waist, not to be outdone.
However, he was stopped by Tricis, "Don't make any noise, let's go in together." β
The wolf head disagreed, "Is it necessary to make such a fuss? if the shadow guy sees it, he will definitely laugh at us." β
"I wish I could be laughed at by him. Trixis muttered.
The shadow was indeed smiling when he saw the three people coming in through the hole, but the taunt in the smile was not for the three, but for himself.
Because he was dead, and he had been killed by his own shadow, it sounded ironic, and the hand that came out of the shadows grabbed his throat, and he tried to fight back, but his own hands and feet had already been frozen into ice, and the smile that froze on his lips looked a little weird.
Rob was busy repairing the teleportation array that had been destroyed by the shadows, so he didn't look up when the three of them entered the cave.
"You're here a little later than I thought. β
"Who is Your Excellency, and why did you sneak into the Dark Hall?" Tracis's mouth was a little bitter, at this time, she would not simply think that the other party was really captured by Carlisle, no matter who can quietly solve the shadow in a few minutes, it is definitely not a simple character.
It is obviously impossible for such a guy to be caught easily, locked in a stone prison and waiting for death, Trixis is not sure if the three of them are sure enough to take each other, and at this time, those guys outside are also useless, the dark hall has been established for less than a year now, and most people are not loyal, so it's okay to let these guys do some daily work, but if they are sent to death, they are afraid that one will run faster than the other.
