Chapter 15: The Shadow Clone
The gap connecting the second and third floors disappeared, and the dream space fell into darkness again. Yuan Mingkong stared into the darkness and asked, "Can they notice us?" β
"I can't." "The Shadow has been trying to attack us in our vicinity, and even if my Hermit Bracelet doesn't work, it can hide us with the help of the Shadow's power. β
"Why didn't you say it earlier...... Yuan Mingkong remembered his experience on the fourth floor again, and silently walked away from the car door.
"With the Hermit Bracelet, it's safe around the car. Although you have about 3 Shadow Butlers lying on your stomach in the window, they were probably trying to reach in when you leaned against the car door just now. β
β......β
Yuan Mingkong wanted to scold his mother very much, but when he thought that this was the Fog Ten Ring, he was suddenly relieved, and such a contradictory psychology even made him lose his sense of fear for a while. He sighed, translating his complicated emotions into a gesture, and pointed his middle finger out the window, wondering if the hellish creatures understood what he meant.
"If you don't care, you can also put it on without the combat uniform in the back." After Kiri Shiling finished speaking, the long coat on his body turned into a black combat uniform (because Kiri Shiling did not have a hidden idea of Gen Mingkong, the ability of the combat uniform did not take effect), and the gray cat mask was also worn on their faces.
"That's what it means to let me wear it......" Yuan Mingkong tried it and successfully put the combat uniform on his body.
"Are masks still useful? The Shadows have already confirmed our identity, and if they wanted to, they could have told the Night's Watch in the Iron House, who would then spread the information. β
"They won't easily believe the Shadow's words, and with the Sword-Bearer and the Ministry of Information in the know, the Night's Watch wouldn't do that."
"Then why do you still wear ......?"
"Everyone knows it. Anyway, whatever mess has occurred, there is the information department of the iron house. Andβ"
"And what?" Yuan Mingkong was itching with hatred, "Hey-since you can't say it, then don't deliberately say half to hang my appetite!" β
"Huh? I am training you subtly, so that you can have the ability to take on foreknowledge as soon as possible. β
Misty Shiling said it seriously, but according to Yuan Mingkong's understanding, this was definitely her nature of covering up her black belly.
"I think you're molesting me, but I have no proof."
"I'm not a pervert."
"Roar!!!!!"
A deafening lion roar interrupted the leisurely conversation between Misty Ten Bell and Gen Mingkong. Yuan Mingkong looked in the direction of the sound source, and at the same time invoked the power of the dream space to check the scene of the incident, intending to watch a live broadcast.
"Queen, if the shadow doesn't control the dream space, how much power can we call on the dream space?" Using these handy abilities comfortably, Yuan Mingkong couldn't help but think of this problem.
"If you can focus on one person, it's probably like having a lucid dream."
"Now that the Shadow has taken control of the dreamβnoβ"
"They are weak when they leave hell, and they can't exert their strength without enough energy replenishment, so although they control the dream space, they only recover their suppressed power, and they don't master more, otherwise we can't mobilize the ability of the dream space."
"Oh, don't worry." Yuan Mingkong adjusted his posture and carefully observed the battle in the distance.
"Bennett, Alana, let my Twin Eyes White Tiger play with them first."
The sword-bearer who spoke, his tone was slightly lazy, with his unruly eyes, a pair of swinging high-profile silver earrings, and that rather capitalized appearance, it was simply a vivid performance of unruliness.
The white tiger beside him has snow-white tiger fur and dark gray stripes, and the eyes and eyes are blue and red. The double-eyed white tiger is 6.1 meters from head to tail and weighs 443 kilograms, which is twice the size of a normal male white tiger. As a mount, its face is not submissive at all, but its fierce appearance is more and more revealed, and it seems that it will throw off the person riding on it at any time.
This person's name is Jin Zhi, the captain of the sword bearer in Nanhai City, in terms of combat effectiveness, he can rank in the top 5 in the iron house, but in terms of public evaluation, even if the night watchman is included, he is still hovering in the bottom 5. The team of swordsmen in Nanhai City led by him even has the title of "all evildoers".
The 5 little black beans standing in front of Jin Zhi, ah no, the 5 shadows are lined up.
Although they are different in height, fat and thin, they are no more than 10 centimeters tall, so it seems that they are the lowest level of shadow servants in the shadows. They are all black, almost integrated with their surroundings, have no facial features, short limbs, but the torso part is unusually wide, directly occupying 90% of the body. The little Wang Ba who stood up was about the same size as them.
Jin Zhi got off his tiger mount and patted the tiger's buttocks.
The double-pupiled white tiger immediately let out an angry roar and flew out, standing behind Jin Zhi and the other sword-wielding people, there were many night watchmen with average strength, and the lion's roar of the double-pupiled white tiger actually shocked several unsuspecting night watchmen with blood in their ears and noses.
The 5 shadows looked up at the huge tiger that fell from the sky, and they had no intention of running away, but instead the 4 shadows stood on the 4 vertices of the square, raising their hands high to form a support point in the air. Then, the last of the shortest shadows jumped lightly onto the platform that the four shadows had built for him, and the eight small hands pushed him towards the two-eyed white tiger.
The shadow servant that was lifted up was killed at the touch of a button, but when the white-eyed tiger tried to continue falling, it was lifted up by an unknown object and could not continue to fall.
The shadow servant, whose abilities could not even reach level 3 branding level 3 and complete mutation in all aspects, could not withstand the impact of the two-pupiled white tiger at all, but the shadow servant who was intentionally pushed out to his death was split into four black mist and countless scattered black qi after death, and the four black mist quickly poured into the bodies of the other four shadow minions, and the black qi dived into the ground and disappeared.
"Quack-quack--"
After a neat cheer from the shadows, the bodies of the four shadow minions suddenly swelled by 4,5 times, they were still tall, short, fat and thin, but the average height was close to 50 centimeters, which is the height that only shadow butlers have.
The upgrade of the Shadow Servant attracted the side glances of Jin Zhi and the other three sword-wielders, but it was just a method that they had never seen before that made the three of them feel a little surprised.
Gen Mingkong and Kiri Shiling, who watched the live broadcast, naturally also saw this scene.
"These 5 shadows, for every shadow that dies, will the remaining shadows be upgraded?"
"This is the special ability of the Shadow Royals, 'Shadow Clone'. They can summon a certain number of shadow minion clones and increase their level by absorbing the clones' powers, up to the same level as the main body. After 4 of these 5 Shadows die, the remaining 1 can reach the level of an ordinary (non-royal) Shadow Earl, which means that the Shadow hiding in the fourth layer is at least at the level of an Earl. β
"Then why isn't your branding ability blocked?"
"I'm just saying at least a royal at the earl level."
"It's worthy ......of you," Yuan Mingkong asked again, "What level of brander is the Count of Shadow equivalent to?" β
"One level lower than the Marquis of Shadow, the lowest level is level 1, and the brand level is level 1, and it is completely mutated."
"I remember that the lion monkey is a level 2 brand, and a level 1 complete mutation, right?"
You know, it's just a level 2 brand and a level 1 completely mutated lion monkey, and he has already killed all sides in the Wick Province, this shadow earl with a minimum level 1 brand and a level 1 completely mutation, is not chopping melons and vegetables to deal with these people present?
"You can't compare it like that."
"First of all, the lion monkey can increase its physical strength by eating, which can be counted as a level 1 brand and a level 3 complete mutation."
"Secondly, Zhou Mianmian's strength is limited, and before she completely changes, it is impossible for only the dream space on the third layer to support the full strength of the Shadow Earl."
"In addition, the sword bearer of Wick Province is not the same as the sword bearer of Nanhai City: the sword bearer of Wick Province will always suppress the mutation within a controllable range, and is unwilling to take the risk of losing control and becoming completely abnormal, and only relies on the strength of the brand itself to carry out the task; The sword bearers of Nanhai City are very bold, they release and accept the negative effects of the mutation, and gain a lot of strength from the mutation. β
"If it's just a normal Shadow Earl, they can handle it."
"Are you planting a flag?"
Misty Shiling and Yuan Mingkong were discussing, and the white-eyed white tiger had already slapped another shadow butler to death.
