Chapter 434: Shadows
The rising morning light descended on the Thousand Nights City, shining on the flat stone roads on the streets of Dongcheng District, and the people who were drunk in sleep when the night was shrouded woke up from their sleep, and after stretching their slightly stiff hands, they lifted the quilt and walked down from the bed, and then, the originally quiet street gradually became noisy.
The city that fell asleep with the dark night once again woke up to the sun, and the atmosphere of fireworks in the world was unprecedentedly rich, which seemed to be the eternal law of the human world, and also the law of heaven and earth.
In a remote alley somewhere in Dongcheng District, a black-robed man with a strange body walked through it, obviously under the brighter and brighter sun, even if there was a part of the shade in the side wall of the alley, he should have exposed his figure, and now is not the dark night moment to tolerate the dark side of the world after all.
But the strange thing is that if someone looks out of the window outside the wall at this time, they will never notice such a strange figure, in the warm sunlight, this black figure seems to be wrapped in a heat wave, and it becomes blurred as it walks, so that people cannot notice the flash of black shadow.
This man is about thirty years old, his breath is dark, like a mouse in the gutter, but it is not an ordinary little mouse, but a strange creature that can pounce out from the shadows at any time to bite the world, the shallow scar on the bridge of his nose seems to be a birthmark, and beads of sweat the size of beans fall down from both sides.
It flowed through the corners of the mouth and dripped to the ground, and the salty smell seeped into the ground, and then it was swallowed up by the original earthy breath, and a cool breeze blew through, driving away the breath that belonged to the human body.
The black-robed man swept quickly between the walls of the alleyway, and the occasional passer-by, who opened the window to look at the person who had just woken up in the distance, did not know anything about it, and his figure fell into the eyes of ordinary people, not as good as a small stone on the side of the street.
He didn't seem to be walking aimlessly, his cold eyes rolled with dark eyes, and his gaze scurried around him with a rapid pace.
Suddenly, his steps stopped abruptly, as if there was a stone wall blocking the road in front of him, and he slowly narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction of the east position: "Huh?
Immediately, a burst of ecstasy surged in the eyes of the black-robed man who was focused on that direction, and a black pillar burst out of a certain mansion reflected in his pitch-black pupils, rushing towards the blue-white sky that had just been paved with great fanfare.
That black gas, the reason why it is said to be public, is not because it is really conspicuous, and when you dig deeper, I am afraid that there will not be too many people in the entire Dongcheng District who can detect this power, but for the black-robed people, this pillar of light is like a firefly in the night, even if you close your eyes, you can feel that strong sense of existence.
"It's really hard to find a place to break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get there, I've been spying for so long...... It's been three years since I did the math, and I always thought that the burial place of this thing was destined to be a mystery, but I didn't expect it to appear in such an ordinary house without guards, what a fluke!"
The ghostly eyes seemed to be part of the light at this time, the frowning brows suddenly dispersed, and on the face that was so ordinary that it could not be found in the crowd, there was a pair of eyes that narrowed into two gaps, and the eyes were full of ecstasy and excitement, no less than the stupid appearance of a shy man when he saw a beauty that was suffocatingly beautiful.
"Didn't Lord Demon General send me here in the hope that my rare pupil technique, which I had since birth, would be able to exert the greatest value in this tragic war?
The demon stared in that direction and muttered to himself, his voice becoming more and more trembling, his eyes full of fanaticism and adoration, and he couldn't wait to let out his excitement when he thought that the goal he thought was untouchable was about to be achieved.
But soon, it fell silent again.
"However, this can't be a trap, right? Isn't the special armor that the secret detectives found said to be hidden in a spatial magic circle somewhere in the city? Why did it suddenly appear for no reason now?" After the initial ecstasy, the ghost demon gradually calmed down, and after calming down, his expression was a little strange, and there was a faint trace of doubt.
The current abnormality exudes a strange smell no matter how you look at it, and the worry of this ghost cultivator from Soul Hook City is not unreasonable, but no matter how you guess, it is difficult to find a relatively reasonable explanation.
Because the situation itself is very unreasonable.
The black-robed man's eyes rolled strangely up and down, as if he was seriously considering the risks, even though he was shouldering such a task with the consciousness of sacrifice, but he was unwilling to sacrifice his life in vain, which became a stepping stone to add glory to the enemy soldiers.
After pondering for a moment, the black-robed man finally made up his mind: "You can't drag it out any longer, this kind of opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, even if it is a trap, you must jump into it, this breath is impossible to distinguish the mistake, even if it is a bait, it is definitely genuine." ”
"Maybe it's not a trap, but a derelict enemy soldier inadvertently leaked the breath of the armor during the transportation process, or a noble child who received a reward but didn't know the goods, opened the forbidden talisman of the closed breath without authorization, if that's the case, then you can't waste the opportunity at will!"
"I'm not the only spy assassin hidden in the city, if the guys in Tongxuan City happen to see it, I'm afraid they won't let go of the opportunity to grab food, and it will become very troublesome at that time, and I should be the only one who can detect it at the first time, but it won't be long before I ...... I'm afraid."
Seeing that the black light gradually dissipated, the ghost was silent for a moment, and suddenly his figure turned, and he flew towards the area that emitted the brilliance of the black pillar in the distance, this time no longer wandering under the morning light, but against the wall as if it was a shadow, silently jumping past.
"Is the refiner even more powerful than the top talisman master?"
Hearing Ye Wen ask such a superficial question, Xu Xiaoyue raised her head angrily and said, "Nonsense!"
Immediately flicked the metal surface of the black armor, and suddenly a circle of rune ripples vibrated on the pitch-black surface, Ye Wen frowned slightly, but it was not because of Xiao Yue's mocking words, but because of the bullet just now, as if under some strange vibration rhythm, disturbed the degree of consistency between him and the contact surface of the Dao pattern armor.
This feeling, as if being forcibly pulled by someone to put on the clothes that he was wearing closely, suddenly exposed his invisible skin, the reason why human beings have to wear clothes is that they can't bear this, and it is also the reason why Ye Wen subconsciously feels slightly uncomfortable.
However, just as Xu Xiaoyue trusted him, he also trusted Xu Xiaoyue, except for the slight frowning of his brows, his face quickly returned to the same as before, of course, verbal complaints were still indispensable.
"Satsuki-sama, how long are you going to do it...... Even if I am in the Sevenfold Realm now, I can't eat it and consume it endlessly, this armor is not just worn, and I am still a very miserable wounded, why don't you let me cultivate for a day before I come to study. ”
