Tick!

Tick tock!

In a dark and damp sewer.

Ji An walked alone on the damp, narrow aisle next to the sewage ditch, one foot deep and one foot shallow.

If it weren't for the high-top combat boots, the sewage would have splashed on the trouser legs.

At this time, Ji An was walking in an extremely dangerous area.

Not far away, from time to time, gray spotted rats and even extraordinary mice of different "breeds" walked by.

But none of them were able to detect Ji'an's existence.

Ji An was floating in the sewers like a shadow at this time.

This is exactly what shadow masks are capable of allowing the wearer to melt into the shadows.

At this time, it was already the seventh day that Ji An exchanged for this strange thing.

In the past seven days, except for the first day, Ji An was still a little unfamiliar with the ability of such a strange thing.

Over the next few days, Ji An has become more and more proficient at using the abilities of the Shadow Mask.

Proficiency, even close to catching up with his own innate ability Eye of Insight.

As her proficiency deepened, Ji An also discovered several different effects, or wonderful uses, of the shadow mask.

Needless to say, the ability to blend the wearer into the shadows goes without saying.

In addition to this, there are two other extended abilities.

One is the weak shadow protection ability.

When Ji An is attacked, he can use his psychic power to activate a trace of shadow power that comes with the shadow mask, so that the enemy's attack can be partially weakened when it penetrates the shadow.

The magnitude of the reduction depends on the strength of the attack.

The second is the ability to speed up Ji'an's movement with the power of shadows.

Of course, it's not to directly speed up Ji'an's agility and the speed at which he can burst out.

Instead, it allows Ji An to move between the shadows and dodge.

A few meters away from the shadows, Ji An can step over like a ghost.

This was originally a shadow-attribute dodge attack ability, but it was used by Ji An in terms of speed, and it can also play a similar role.

When Ji An explored the forbidden area, he sped up a little.

Naturally, the effect of these two abilities is far less powerful than that of the Shadow Mask.

However, it is equivalent to two more strange things with weak effects in indirectness.

After all, many ordinary strange things under the transcendental-level strange things only have the same ability.

It's rare to have three practical abilities like a shadow mask.

It's no wonder that the senior of the resource library said that this shadow mask could be worth nearly two million Yanhuang coins.

Ji An originally thought that the other party's exaggeration was the majority, but now, he believes it.

These days, Ji An relies on the three abilities of the shadow mask.

Walk alone in various areas of the sewers, and even explore the restricted area many times.

Even if it is an extraordinary-level ferocious rat, as long as the distance is not too close, it is difficult for the other party to find Ji An.

The shadow mask can not only hide Ji An's figure, but also the traces of sounds, smells, etc.

"This is the last forbidden area in the sewer area that the west side of the city is responsible for." Ji An was somewhat disappointed.

After all, if this forbidden area is not discovered, I am afraid that I can only take the risk of taking Shanhai to the sewer area in charge of the Imperial Beast Legion in the eastern part of the city.

But it's not an area for me to inspect.

If you go to the forbidden area over there and are discovered by the Beast Legion, you are likely to face questioning.

Once or twice, I can still prevaricate with the wrong penalty area.

But if there are too many times, it will definitely not be fooled.

Ji An temporarily restrained these thoughts, blended into the shadows again, and walked towards the sewers.

Peace and mountains and seas are honestly staying in the spiritual realm at this time.

Ji An's shadow mask can only be used on himself, but he can't take care of his own imperial beasts.

You can only send two imperial beasts into the Mind Domain first, and then summon them when needed.

Ji An is now a disciple-level ninth rank, and his spiritual domain has also expanded to nearly 100 square meters, nearly five meters high.

It is more than enough to accommodate the two royal beasts of peace and mountains and seas.

In the rather spacious spiritual domain, peace is naturally sleeping.

And Shanhai, at this time, stayed in the corner of the spiritual domain, watching the peaceful boss sleeping soundly.

But I couldn't sleep.

With these days of exploration, not only Ji An is a little physically and mentally exhausted, but even Shanhai is a little disheartened when he fails to find the entrance when he came three or four times.

Even Shanhai didn't expect much from this exploration.

Outside.

Ji'an is still going deep into the rat's nest.

As far as the eye can see, there are various caves that have been intricately excavated by the rat colony.

It's the same as the rat's nest we've explored before.

There is no sign of merging with the otherworldly plane.

Ji An intends to go a little deeper.

When you reach an area where there is a lot of activity of extraordinary ferocious rats, you will exit in time.

Walk along one of the largest cave passages for a while.

A little light suddenly appeared in front of Ji An.

In the caverns of the sewers, there is naturally a glimmer of light.

Otherwise, the rats won't be able to see the way.

They're not moles.

But in the mouse's cave, such a dazzling light was the first time Ji An had seen it.

Ji An suddenly felt that he might have discovered something.

He hurriedly expanded the sphere of influence of the Shadow Mask, and summoned the mountains and seas to hang on himself.

After the mountains and seas came out, they hung directly on Ji An's shoulders.

Ji An, on the other hand, walked along the wall, towards the light.

No matter how strong the light is, the presence of shadows cannot be eliminated.

Because of this, Ji An is still able to use the ability to melt shadows.

Soon.

Ji An walked out of the narrow cave passage.

The eyes suddenly opened up.

Walking through the passage, what appeared in front of Ji An was not something different.

It's a much bigger cavern.

On the rock wall in the middle of the cave, there is a crack that is probably no more than one meter high and half a meter wide.

A smaller, gray spotted rat is crawling out of a crack.

A squeak at the curious rats around them.

"Uh-huh!"

"Goo!!" Before Ji An could react.

On the contrary, Shanhai, who had been lying motionless on his shoulder, suddenly became excited.

"Shanhai, where did you say you came from?" Ji An looked at the narrow crack that could barely accommodate the skinny gray spotted rat to pass through, and the larger transcendental-level fierce rat could not pass through at all, and asked Shanhai.

"Uh-huh!" Mountains and seas are extremely sure.

Ji An compared the height and width of the crack in the wall, and then compared his fairly well-proportioned body.

"Wait until there are fewer rats, let's get in and try." Ji An felt like he should be able to get in.

This crack was too small, and it only attracted the interest of some small evolutionary mice.

There was hardly a single transcendent rat present.

Not for a while.

The Evolutionary Rats are grumbling with hunger and are going to forage for food.

I didn't see any grey rats burrowing into or coming out of the cracks.

Ji An immediately seized the opportunity and went straight to the crack.

Ji An, who plunged headlong into the crack of the strong light, was like drilling a long ventilation duct.

After drilling for a long time, I finally got through.

The bright light in front of him suddenly dimmed.

The white glow gradually took on a different color.

A warm wind mixed with the smell of salty moisture swept in my face.

Is that?

"The sea?!" When Ji An drilled out of another crack, he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise at what he saw.

Ji An, who had traveled to more than ten gathering places in his previous life, had naturally seen the sea.

Suddenly, Ji An felt some heat on his body.

The walled town has already entered winter.

At this time, he was still wearing a special combat uniform in autumn and winter clothes, a thickened military jacket.

But now, the scorching heat wave and the natural scorching sun are telling Ji An that it seems to be summer.

"Shanhai, are we here to your hometown?" Ji An took a deep breath of the wind by the sea, and looked at the mountain and sea road on his shoulder with some excitement.

"Uh-huh!" (Ji'an, this is my hometown.) ）
