A pitched battle.

Although the two sides only used the strength of the eighth order, the black owl and the zero were comparable in terms of speed and combat skills. Even in terms of combat skills, the black owl is slightly better, his long and short sticks, the stick is strong and soft, and they complement each other's strengths and weaknesses, and there are few flaws to be found. The only thing he is inferior to Zero is his combat experience and the lack of Zero's momentum honed from countless battles.

Often, when Zero uses a fierce and almost lose-lose style of play, the Black Owl will always take a defensive position. It can be seen that he is a person who cherishes himself very much.

It's no wonder, after all, the Black Owl is an elder of the Shadow Clan, and he has lived in the temple for many years. Even if Xiuya waved his troops to attack that day, he was just talking and giving orders, and he didn't go to the front line to fight at all, so there was no need for this. As the superior of the entire Black Earth alien race, not to mention the black lords, the opportunities for ordinary Shadow Clan warriors to participate are pitiful.

His combat skills and experience are the result of his talent and the interaction he has with his compatriots.

The talent is naturally excellent, but the combat experience is far from that of a strong man like Zero who came out of the pile of dead. What's more, Zero also fused Gaia's experience, which is far from being comparable to a strong person like the Black Owl who hides in a greenhouse and grows up with his own talent and innate advantages.

In Zero's opinion, the Black Owl's combat skills are impeccable. But his will and courage were far inferior to his combat skills, and he was not even as great as the Assaks who had fought against him before. If the opponent's rank is below the black lord, the Shadow Clan Elder can easily win by relying on the natural suppression of skill and rank. But once it is an opponent of the same level, then sooner or later the black lord will be defeated by the lack of ruthlessness and courage.

Now if it was on the battlefield, he could let go and fight, and Zero believed that he would have killed this Shadow Clan elder long ago. It's just that the situation is different now, and Zero can only let go of some opportunities and find another way to defeat this elder. Otherwise, the winner is divided early.

With a long roar, the black owl suddenly joined forces with two sticks, dancing out of two silver wheels, and attacked Zero in a fast way. After forcing Zero out of the way, a symbol rose in the black owl's eye, and Zero felt the light around him seem to dim. Before he could react, a thick black mist rose from around him and the black owl. In an instant, the sky was covered and the two were completely enveloped.

"Is it the Dark Veil?" said Gog softly, "The Black Owl has finally used his power......

The priest's eyes twinkled: "I haven't heard that the Dark Veil will be wrapped in the power itself, is this a new way to use it?"

Gog pondered that the Dark Veil was one of ShadowClan's regular abilities. Its function is to imprison the target in a veil, those seemingly thin hazy fogs, but in fact almost materialized dark elements. In the curtain formed by the dark element, the target is affected by negative states such as decreased visual field and perceptual interference. As the Dark Veil takes shape, the Veil will shrink a little towards the middle. If it is unable to reach the body and escape before the dark elements can penetrate the body, a large amount of the dark elements will coalesce in the target's body and eventually form a Big Bang.

But now, the Black Owl's use of the Dark Veil is obviously different from the conventional methods. At least Gog hadn't heard of it, the Veil of Darkness would be wrapped up with the freer.

A black barrier appeared in the ring, and the dark curtain not only hid the two of them, but also cut off the gaze of the spectators. The Assaks began to exchange heads and expressions of impatience, and they clearly did not like the Black Owl's style of play.

The curtain is shrinking at a slow pace.

In the curtain, Zero saw the black owl's double stick hanging to the ground, as if he was not ready to continue the fight. The Veil is not completely dark, and the mist-like dark elements only reduce the light, not completely isolate it from the outside world.

"Alright, now we'll have some time to talk. Rest assured, in this veil, our voices will not be heard to the outside world. "The Black Owl said.

Zero said indifferently: "I don't know what Elder Dao Black Lord wants to talk to me, but don't you think that the ring is not a place to talk?"

"This is a helpless move, because what I say next does not want to enter the ears of a third person. The black owl said, "I don't like to beat around the bush, so let's just say it." I want to work with you. ”

"Cooperation?" Zero smiled, "I'd like to hear about it." ”

"Your intention, Amanda's young master has already told us about it. You are interested in our black gods, seeds, and elixirs. Girutan said you want to determine if the Black God has anything to do with what you're looking for, that's fine, I can take you to the Titan Hall. It is a natural and huge underground space under the temple and the sacred mountain, where our black god is located. But you have to promise me one condition!"

Zero asked, "What conditions?"

"Save my people!" said the black owl flatly.

"Your people?"

"That's right, I heard Girutan. The girl who got the seed from their Amanda people used the elixir at a pinch. Although they repelled the invaders, they were about to transform into beasts. It was an irreversible after-effect of the use of the Elixir. But you miraculously saved her, and it gave me hope. The black owl said with a bitter face: "In fact, our Shadow Clan has reached a critical juncture of life and death. ”

Two years ago, one of the ShadowClan warriors violated the rules of the ShadowClan in order to pursue a more powerful power, and entered the Titan Hall without permission to obtain the power of the dark god. What happened in the Titan Hall is unknown, but the man reappeared in ShadowClan after being missing for months, and then died soon after. Soon after his death, ShadowClan was cursed, and both adults and children showed symptoms after taking the Elixir.

This made the black owl at that time helpless, seeing that they were all about to transform into irrational beasts, the black owl could only use one of his special abilities to imprison all these people. The ability, known as the Dark Coffin, imprisons the target and suspends all functions in the body until the ability is lifted. This was originally an ability to punish sinners in the clan, but at that time, the black owl had to use it on his own people.

So in the end, he was the only one left in the entire Shadow Clan who was still able to act as usual. Since then, the ShadowClan has never received the seeds and elixirs, and for two years in a row, the Black Owl can only prevaricate with various excuses. But now it's the third year, and if no solution is found, the matter will be known to the other clans sooner or later. Fortunately, it was at this time that he heard the news from Girutan that Zero had cured Moni, so he would come here in person.

"You did a good job, using the identity of a warrior of a hundred battles is indeed the only way to get foreigners to approach the temple without using force. It also provides you and me with the opportunity to meet alone, and I don't know what you're looking for or what you're going to do. I only hope that you can save my people. Otherwise, our Shadow Clan will be extinct!"

Zero frowned and said, "Why don't you make this matter public, there are so many Black Earth Clans, maybe there will be a way." ”

"You say that, you don't know enough about the land. The black owl smiled bitterly: "Do you really think that all the clans of this land are united? Young man, you don't know the history of this land. What I can tell you is that the order of this land is based on blood and bones. There is a proverb among the clans that in any part of the black earth, when you dig three feet into the ground, you will see the bones of your ancestors. ”

"Why do you think the Shadow Clan is pressing on the heads of other clans, we rely on the highest level of combat power in this land, and the existence of the Black God. But our clan is scarce, the middle and lower levels have almost no combat power, and we have no soldiers to protect ourselves, so we can only trade to obtain the protection of other clans. This is our inevitable shortcoming, you think, if the other clans know that I am the only one left in the entire Shadow Clan, the Black God will no longer provide seeds and elixirs. The bonds that have been forged for so long will be broken, and the other clans will swallow us up without my people being transformed into wild beasts. ”

"So at this time, you are someone I can trust. Because, at least you and I still have the capital to trade. ”

Zero never thought that the situation in the black earth was so complicated.

"You must decide as soon as possible that the Dark Veil cannot continue like this, or they will see the clues. The black owl urged.

Zero nodded and said, "Yes, but I also have to explain a little bit beforehand." Your people showed signs of madness two years ago, and I don't know the extent of the spread of the spreader, but I'll need to see it before I can find out. All I can say now is to do my best to help your people. ”

"I know that it is better to have this hope than to despair. The black owl smiled bitterly: "Then now, come and defeat me." You have to become a warrior before you can go back to the Holy Mountain with me without a trace. ”

Outside the curtain, Goge frowned, "What the hell is going on inside?"

The priest suddenly laughed and said, "Perhaps, this is the purpose of the Black Owl Elder coming to our clan." Don't you think that inside this veil, there is a place for secret conversations?"

"You mean?"

Before the words fell, a dramatic sound suddenly sounded in the curtain. The curtain suddenly dispersed, and a figure flew out and landed on the ground outside the ring. Two silver sticks landed beside this man, none other than the Shadow Clan's Black Lord.

The dark elemental dissipated in an instant, revealing the original face of the ring. Even in the ring, a figure was still standing.

It's zero!

Suddenly, all the Asaks cheered. They crowded into the ring, threw Zeros high, and shouted the name "Warriors of a Hundred Battles" in the tribal language. The whole village is boiling, at this time, whether the patriarch of Gaoge or the black lord has been forgotten, the most eye-catching person at this moment is none other than zero!

Gog picked up the black owl and said, "This is really a surprising battle, do you say yes? ”

As if he couldn't understand the pun in Gaoge's language, the black owl nodded and said, "This human is indeed very powerful, and he has also expressed enough sincerity. Perhaps, the temple will consider his request. ”

Standing up, the black owl picked up the double stick. He glanced in the direction of the ring, then walked away silently. Gog looked at his back and said to the priest, "I really hate this guy more and more. ”

The priest said unhurriedly, "When did you like ShadowClan?"
