The figure walked quickly, and when the distance was closer, Leo realized that the man was at least more than two meters tall, with golden hair and blue eyes, which were very eye-catching in this gray environment. The other party's facial features are distinct, and his body is still wrapped in heavy armor. However, the most surprising thing was the long sword stuck in his chest. The entire blade of the sword was completely submerged in the body, leaving only a piece of the hilt outside.

Leo suddenly became vigilant, there was weirdness everywhere here, and he didn't know much about the shadow world, so it was better to be careful.

"Hello, is this the Shadow Realm?" he asked, building a magic model in his soul and attacking as soon as the opponent's actions were abnormal.

The strong man did not answer, and continued to walk towards Leo, his face dull and lifeless, but there was a greed in his eyes.

Leo chuckled in his heart, took a few steps back, and shouted, "You'd better not go any further!"

After speaking, the strong man had suddenly increased his speed and pounced.

Sensing the danger, Leo recited the incantation without thinking, trying to stop the opponent with the most powerful flameburst.

But then he suddenly discovered that there was nothing wrong with the magic model, spells, and gestures, but the magic resonance did not occur, which meant that the magic could not be projected from his soul plane into reality.

Not only that, but the bloodline, magic weapons, and even the transformation weapon were ineffective, and the qiē power he relied on could not be used here.

"Damn, how can this be?" Leo suppressed his panic, looked at the approaching strong man, and made a decision in an instant. Turn around and run.

However, after all, his height was much shorter than that of a strong man, and his steps were not as big as those of others, but in a few minutes he was chased and thrown to the ground.

Leo struggled desperately, but the strength of the two was so different that they couldn't break free.

The strong man didn't care, opened his mouth, and bit down on Leo's shoulder.

Leo was shocked, but his body was pressed by the other party, and he couldn't dodge at all.

There is no hindrance. A piece of the shoulder was bitten, and the man didn't chew it, but swallowed it directly, and in his eyes, greed was even stronger.

An unforgettable pain came, and Leo didn't have time to think about it, and smashed his fist into the opponent's door.

"Bang!"

The man's nose collapsed into it, and Leo's fist was so muddy that he couldn't even distinguish his fingers.

"This guy is in this form too. But it's much tougher than me!" Leo immediately understood what the problem was, and desperately tried to figure out other ways to get out, but the other party's strength was too great, and he was crushed to death.

The strong man didn't care about his nose at all. Then he bit Leo.

Another piece of "flesh" was bitten off, and Leo almost trembled in pain, and he could already feel that it was a sharp pain that went straight to his soul. I should be in some kind of soul state now

"Is this guy going to eat me? Is he going to fucking die in a place like this?"

Leo had no choice but to smash his unsightly fist into the other party's face.

"Bang! bang!"

The strong man's facial features were all smashed, and his face became blurred. But he still maintains the rhythm of opening his mouth, biting, and swallowing, and it seems that there is no other consciousness other than these.

Soon, Leo noticed that his fist was completely out of shape, and the left half of his body had been eaten.

Full of despair, he inspired his primitive ferocity, "No, I still have a lot of things to do, and I must not die here! If you want to eat me, then I will eat you first!"

With such a hint of faith, Leo opened his mouth and bit the other party's neck.

A large piece of "meat" in his mouth, he couldn't tell what it tasted like, and his mouth felt a bit like jelly, and Leo swallowed it without thinking about it.

The strong man's movements were obviously stagnant, and he could obviously feel the pain, and then gnawed even more frantically on Leo's body.

At this time, a professor's voice sounded in his head: "Unknown energy that can be absorbed has been detected, do you want to activate the energy adjustment module?"

"Huh?" Leo was stunned for a moment, and was bitten off by the other party. He suppressed the pain, his head spun rapidly, and he quickly figured out what was going on.

Both of them are energy bodies, and devouring each other will definitely increase their energy, and one will be wiped out sooner or later.

"What if...... It can really increase the absorption rate......" Leo Yixi hurriedly said in his consciousness: "Increase the absorption rate immediately!"

"The module is starting, please wait for analysis. The professor's voice remained unhurried.

"Speed up the analysis!Analyze as fast as you can!" Leo commanded as he roared inwardly.

After a few seconds, the professor's voice came again: "After the analysis, the unknown energy can be absorbed and beneficial, the optimal absorption scheme has been generated, and the absorption rate has been increased by 312.56% after the optimization of the energy adjustment module, reaching a peak, and now it is starting to promote absorption." ”

As soon as the female voice finished speaking, Leo instantly felt that his pain had subsided a lot, and the original shapeless fist was slowly recovering.

"Sure enough, eating his flesh will replenish myself!" Leo didn't care about studying anything carefully, and desperately bit the strong man.

As the minutes passed, the strong man's movements slowed down significantly, while Leo had an extra energy supplement, but the more he bit it, the more courageous he became.

In the end, the strong man's thigh-thick neck was bitten off, and he completely lost the ability to "bite", although his body was still able to move, but he could no longer pose a threat to Leo.

And just as the strong man's head rolled to the ground, he suddenly let out a piercing scream, and then a little light bloomed from the center of the skull, and it quickly expanded.

"Boom!"

When the explosion occurred, he didn't have time to react, and he was completely swallowed by the light.

............

When Leo opened his eyes again, he was facing Parkinson's chubby face with surprise.

"I'm ......" Leo struggled to get up, but found his whole body weak, and now he was in a bed in a cabin, with several other people nearby, but he didn't seem to wake up yet.

Parkinson smashed his mouth and said, "Hey, come out of the shadows." How does it feel?"

"Shadow Vision?" Leo was slightly confused, but soon, a flood of memories flooded into his mind.

Indeed, before entering the private teleportation magic array of the Deep Organization, Parkinson had already told him that the first time he entered the Shadow Realm, everyone would encounter the Shadow Illusion, and the circumstances they encountered were also different, but this memory would only recover after breaking through the Illusion. whereas

"But my illusion, why is it a cannibalistic scene?" Leo couldn't understand. Why would the professor still play a role in that situation, but he wasn't prepared to ask Parkinson's, the two were only working together now, and there was not much trust at all.

At the same time, Parkinson is also looking at Leo, wondering the true identity of this teenager.

He'd been back and forth to the Shadow Realm many times, and he'd brought a lot of people here, even very powerful people. It would take a whole day to get out of the shadows, and for some of the bad ones, it would take days.

But the teenager in front of him only took less than half an hour, which has never happened before. It's incredible.

After a slight groan, the fat man spoke, "You are the fastest person I have ever seen come out of the shadow illusion, how did you do it?"

Leo didn't expect the other party to ask such a question, so he smiled and replied, "I don't know." Maybe luck. ”

Parkinson could see that Leo didn't seem to be willing to answer the question, so he shook his head. I didn't follow up. Everyone has secrets, and in their business, they know best how to keep secrets for others.

After a few minutes, feeling that Leo's sanity was completely restored, he smiled and said, "It will take a while for a few of them to wake up, and then the deep people will arrange for us to go to the ruins, why don't you take advantage of this time, I will take you out for a walk first." ”

Leo happened to have this idea too, and immediately nodded: "Okay, then I'll trouble you." ”

............

Contrary to what you might think, there are many cities in the Shadow Realm, but most of them are inhabited by various races, where you can see humans, orcs, celestial creatures, purgatory, and even some very rare astral creatures.

Leo had read from the book that the Shadow Realm was a paradise for many exiles, where order was established entirely by the strong, and there were many large city-states, and no one would hold a person accountable for his past, but only concerned about his strength and the contribution he could make to the city-state.

It is also a popular starting point for many independent mages and other professionals to embark on long journeys.

They enter the shadow realm through the magic of guò shadow walking, and they can quickly "jump" from one place in the main physical realm to another. Regardless of the usual speed, it can make its target travel at a speed of 100 kilometers per minute. The displacement is carried out entirely in the shadow fog of the Shadow Realm, so the Traveler cannot see much of the landscape in the main material realm and the shadow realm. When the magic is complete, the traveler returns to the main material realm and, if possible, reappears in a dark place.

Following Parkinson's out of his headquarters in the shadows, a city came into Leo's sight, with all sorts of buildings jumbled next to each other, apparently without any urban planning. And just as he had felt in the shadows, it was gray everywhere, and there was not much color to be seen.

Parkinson pointed to a tall building in the center of the city and said, "This city is called the Heart of the Dark, and there is the heart of the city." ”

Leo followed his gaze and asked, "Is that the City Lord's Mansion?"

Parkinson looked admiring and replied, "Yes, Lord Sarina is a powerful and legendary assassin who rules the city, and anyone who wants to live here must pay the harvest regularly. ”

Leo was curious: "What if you hide it secretly?"

Parkinson pursed his lips and smiled: "Hehe, it's not a wise thing to hide from a legend at this moment. ”

"Then the ruins ......" Leo didn't finish, but he believed Parkinson had understood.

Parkinson did understand, and he looked around vigilantly to make sure that no one was eavesdropping, and then replied, "Lord Sarina doesn't care about anyone's harvest and protects everyone's private property at the same time, that's the rule here." ”

"The original and effective rules of order. Leo nodded, and seeing that the other party was a little nervous, he didn't continue on the topic, and instead asked, "How many people are in this city?"

"There may not be tens of thousands, but there are still seven or eight thousand people, and those people have a certain strength, wealth, endless wealth. Parkinson sighed, then smiled: "Let's go, I'll take you around, there are a lot of magic things you can't imagine here."
