Since Hu Yan and Ruan Yu joined the Vulcan Team, their strength has grown by leaps and bounds in the past few months, and now they can stand alone.
In particular, the team's special attributes have been greatly improved. Hu Yan developed a routine that combines the two major skills of Wind Spell and Ignite. The Vulcan team's clearing speed suddenly increased several times.
A month later, the Vulcan team completed the second brush of the warrior-level beast.
Hu Yan and Ruan Yu's experience have both reached the third level. Jiang Kai's flame intensity, Hu Yan's wind element control, and Ruan Yu's Qi intensity have all increased by 40 points.
At the same time, the destiny material is only missing one material five, and the remaining scroll is only missing nine.
On this day, the team had just killed the last warrior-level white tiger spirit and found a place to camp in the grass.
At night, Jiang Kai was lying in a haystack in a daze, and he saw the black shadow on the top of the mountain again.
The black shadow was flashing rapidly with its back to the moonlight. Because the distance was too far and the speed of the black shadow was very fast, the image was blurry. Jiang Kai was not sure what kind of creature it was.
This was the first time Jiang Kai had noticed the black shadow. He sat up suddenly and woke up Hu Yan.
"Lao Hu, I saw that black shadow again!"
Hu Yan woke up in a daze, "What black shadow? Oh, the dark shadow under the moon you mentioned to me last time? Captain Kai, I told you it was your hallucination. I never saw it when I was on night watch.
Where is the shadow?"
Jiang Kai looked back at the cliff, and sure enough, the black shadow had disappeared.
"This...hey." Jiang Kai didn't know how to explain it, "Forget it, I'll go take a look! Just wait for me here."
"Captain Kai, don't go, be careful of encountering a king!" Hu Yan pulled Jiang Kai back.
Jiang Kai shook his head and said, "I just went to take a look. I have ghost eyes to focus on. If you are careful, you won't encounter a king-level boss."
After saying that, Jiang Kai quickly rushed towards the mountain peak.
The surrounding beasts have long been cleared away by the Vulcan, and there will be no general-level warriors for the time being.
However, Jiang Kai still didn't dare to be careless, after all, there were commander-level and king-level bosses inside the Fairyland Valley.
After breaking his leg while running up Mount Wang, Jiang Kai walked for more than two hours, bypassing a group of command-level tigers, and finally arrived at the foot of the mountain.
Climbing along the mountain road, Jiang Kai reached the top of the mountain an hour later.
There is a flat rock in front of you. Part of the edge of the rock protrudes out of the cliff, like a naturally formed suspended stage.
Taking advantage of the darkness, Jiang Kai lowered his center of gravity and carefully searched for traces of black shadows around him.
"Ghost Eyes, focus! I want to see what it is..." Jiang Kai took out a Zhu Ming, and after quenching it, ignited a ball of flame, and temporarily used it as a torch, illuminating the surroundings bit by bit.
After searching around, he couldn't find the creature.
But beside the cliff, he found a sword.
The sword was deeply embedded in the rock, leaving only the hilt and a small section of the blade.
Jiang Kai approached the sword carefully, then covered the hilt and pulled it out hard...
This pull almost knocked him over.
It turned out that the sword was far not as long as Jiang Kai imagined, and its blade was severely damaged, with only a short section left.
Jiang Kai picked up the sword and frowned, "Don't weapons never drop in the Fairy Valley? Where did this sword come from?"
If you are not sure, just identify it directly.
Jiang Kai took out one of the few appraisal cards and conducted an appraisal.
[Demon Slayer Sword (the only artifact) (destroyed)]
Jiang Kai almost spit out a mouthful of old blood. He picked up a unique artifact?
[Due to the severe damage of the Demon Slayer Sword, the basic attributes and most of the special effects cannot take effect and cannot be identified. When acquiring this artifact, if the recipient's strength does not exceed that of the previous owner, he only has ownership of the item, but cannot identify the owner of the artifact. 】
[Special effect 1: Past life memory, the demon-slaying sword has followed its master for many years, and even if it is damaged, it still retains part of the past life memory. 】
[Special Effect 2: The lingering grudge is still lingering. The demon-slaying sword has lingering grudge against the demon clan. When encountering the lowest king-level boss, it can activate the memory of the past life and launch an automatic attack on it. The intensity of the automatic attack is determined by the strength of the previous owner.
】
These are the only two special effects of the Demon-Slaying Sword.
However, these two special effects already made Jiang Kai feel incredible.
"Holy crap, what kind of strength was its last owner? The trigger condition for triggering the lingering hatred, but the minimum requirement is a king-level boss?"
It seems that the only ones higher than the King-level boss are the map boss and the Lord of Guards...
In other words, the lowest level its original owner had to deal with was a king-level boss!
Was its original owner a player?
At this moment, the demon-slaying sword began to tremble all over, and the trembling amplitude went from weak to strong. Finally, it broke away from Jiang Kai's hand and stuck it on the ground again.
The moonlight shines on the small section of the metal sword, and the light reflects, projecting a figure on the edge of the cliff.
"Dark shadow?!" Jiang Kai stared at the dark shadow. He recognized it at a glance. This black shadow was the same dark shadow he had seen several times.
Even though the black shadow was very close to Jiang Kai, he was like a shadow, with no face, only an outline.
At a glance, it looks like the shadow of a human being.
Of course, even if it looks like a human shadow, it does not prove that he is a human being. After all, Dongli is a counterexample.
The black shadow was standing on the protruding rock, holding a long sword, but he was facing Jiang Kai without attacking or making any movement.
Jiang Kai frowned, "What do you mean..."
Then Jiang Kai looked at the demon-slaying sword on the ground, and the demon-slaying sword trembled slightly.
And the dark figure actually clasped his fists at Jiang Kai and made a gesture of invitation.
"You...are you going to compete with me?"
Jiang Kai hesitated a little.
His death penalty is very terrifying. Faced with this unknown opponent and a situation where he doesn't know why he wants to take action, he doesn't know whether to try it.
But the black figure made another invitation gesture.
"Brother, do you have to compete? Can you make a rule and stop when the time comes?" Jiang Kai stood up hesitantly.
Who knew that the black shadow actually nodded.
"Well? Can you just click and stop? That's no problem." Jiang Kai breathed a sigh of relief and walked to the opposite side of the black shadow.
"Actually, I also have some strength." Jiang Kai smiled slightly, holding the King of Hell's Token in one hand and the Divine Token of Light in the other.
Sitting on two artifacts, with unimaginable high attributes at the same level, and many life-saving means, Jiang Kai thought to himself, no matter what, he could defeat the black shadow.
If you are hit by the King of Hell's order, it is not impossible to fight back!
"I'll count down." Jiang Kai stared at the opponent with his eyes fixed on him. He had already activated the ghost eye concentration in advance.
As long as you start, activate the gambler's time immediately, and you still have a chance to fight.
"Three, two, cough cough cough... cough cough... one!" At the moment of counting "one", Jiang Kai activated the gambler's time at the same time, quenching, and prepared to throw out the two strongest trump cards at the same time!
However, before Jiang Kai could throw out the main god card, Jiang Kai felt his eyes blurred, and the next second, the black sword in the shadow's hand had pierced Jiang Kai's eyebrows!
Jiang Kai's main god card was still in his hand, and his eyes widened.
The dark shadow is already behind him!
Even the Qi Jin body protection, virtualization, and deception substitutes didn't have time to activate!
He didn't have any chance at all, the other party killed him instantly!
Fortunately, the black shadow did not cause any substantial damage to Jiang Kai! This blow was more of a mental shock.
It took a long time before Jiang Kai came back to his senses. He slowly turned around, only to find that the black figure had disappeared.
However, a scroll appeared on the ground.
He hurriedly walked over and picked up the scroll for identification.
