"Damn it, where did you throw me?" The old and decayed breath hit his face in the darkness, and Duran coughed a few times. The previous door of flames came too suddenly, and he didn't notice it at all.
Mental preparation.
Fortunately, the contract auxiliary system recorded all of this truthfully, and Dulan quickly retrieved the previous data and looked at it again.
"You actually get 2800 experience points for killing the tree demon?" Duran was a little surprised. Logically speaking, killing Stuka was not entirely due to his efforts. A powerful weapon like blasting lava is too powerful. But then I thought about it, what if it was completely due to him?
If you can destroy the tree demon with your own power, you should get more experience. After all, it is such a gold-level monster that is difficult to deal with.
The subsequent data was clearly displayed in Duran's retina:
[You have entered an unknown demiplane]
Duran took a deep breath and used a visual inspection of the pitch-black darkness around him.
The contract auxiliary system has been refreshed again: [After analysis, this plane is suspected to be a branch of the shadow plane]
"A branch of the shadow plane? Could it be that I was teleported directly to the Shadow Valley?" Dulan's suspicion was confirmed, because at this time, a rich male voice suddenly came to his ears -
"Welcome to the first floor of the Tower of Shadows, the Labyrinth of Shadows."
"Perhaps you are an ambitious politician, or perhaps you are a down-and-out person who is being hunted. However, no matter what, since you can follow our footsteps and find this place, it proves that you have the ability to inherit part of my treasure.
Quality and ability.”
The male voice seemed kind and gentle, but to Duran's ears, it seemed that the voice reached directly to the bottom of his heart, and he couldn't stop it even if he closed his ears.
His treasure? Could this speaker be the legendary Archmage Ravenkin?
Dulan said excitedly: "Hello, Mr. Archmage, my name is Dulan..."
However, the male voice paid no attention to Dulan's intention. He continued: "If you want to try to talk to me, then all this will be in vain, because I am no longer in this world, and what you hear is just a small talk."
Vocal skills."
Du Lan touched his nose in disgrace. Fortunately, no one was watching, otherwise he would be really embarrassed.
"As you can see, you are now on the first level of the Tower of Shadows, the Maze of Shadows - I like playing maze games very much, so please forgive my presumption, I would like to invite you to play a game with me. Of course, this invitation
You cannot refuse, because the consequence of refusal is to be lost here forever."
Accompanied by Raven King's slightly evil voice, a neat sound of ignition suddenly came from all around Duran.
In an instant, countless candles were lit. Dulan looked around and found himself in a dark corridor. There were many candlesticks quietly placed on both sides of the corridor, with candles burning on the candlesticks.
"Glimmer candles?" Dulan looked at these props that looked almost the same as ordinary white candles with some surprise. The results he found through visual inspection were enough to shock the world - every white candle here was actually at the low-light level.
Equipment. Unlike ordinary candles, these low-light candles can last for hundreds of years.
As expected of a great mage, it was such a luxury. Dulan thought that if he could sneak out a few of these candles, he could sell them for a lot of money. Of course, so far, he had only thought about the majesty of the legendary mage.
It is still deeply rooted in people's hearts. If his disrespectful behavior arouses Riven King's anger, it will be over.
"The rules of the game are very simple. As the name suggests, the Shadow Maze is a maze filled with shadow beasts. When walking here, you may be attacked by many native creatures from the shadow plane. Of course, what you need to do is to kill these shadow beasts and survive.
, and then find the right exit. Sounds simple, right? But I need to warn you that from the moment the candle is lit, a rune will be activated on your body. This rune is very important to you.
It's harmless, but it can make your thinking clearer. But its essence is a beacon. If you have some knowledge of planes and shadowology, I will be happy to explain to you what this means."
Dulan's face turned livid, of course he knew what this meant.
Raven King's voice seemed to be gloating: "In the vast world of shadows, light is the most dangerous thing. Only by integrating yourself into the darkness can you better protect yourself. But you may not be able to do this now.
Now, the runes on your body are equivalent to the brightest lighthouse, and nearby shadow creatures will be attracted unconsciously... So, from now on, please find the exit as soon as possible. I wish you good luck, young man - or girl.
.”
Duran took a deep breath, quickly took out the Oak Thorn and held it in his hand, ready to fight at any time.
There is no end to the long corridor. Although the candlelight can guide his sight, there are still many shadowy places that cannot be seen clearly. Shadow creatures are best at hiding themselves in the darkness. After listening to Raven King's words,
Duran had to guard against it.
He walked slowly and slowly along the corridor into the darkness.
…
"This is the Tower of Shadows?" Lulu said loudly: "Why is it so dark?"
"Idiot, the Tower of Shadows is full of shadows, so of course you can't see it!" Nana said mockingly.
The two goblins would not let go of any opportunity to quarrel, and they immediately started quarreling with each other. Without Duran to restrain them again, Lulu and Nana seemed to be fishes in the water, and resumed their generation.
The level of a master of noise.
"You two can go outside and quarrel, and then come in after the quarrel. Don't worry, we won't wait for you." Kate said coldly. Dulan's inexplicable disappearance made her upset. Although there is always something about this guy.
This reassuring temperament made it easy for people to believe that he could save the day from danger many times, but she was still a little uneasy - this was the place where the Archmage buried treasures, and there must be many crises. I wonder if he could handle it alone?
After the group stepped into the gate of mystery, they saw a completely different scene from Dulan: the gray moon hung high in the sky, and they stood at the entrance of a valley. Inexplicable shadows flashed in the valley, and the light source was sparse and bright.
It's so bleak that people can't see the way forward.
"This is not the Tower of Shadows, but the Valley of Shadows." Erica said quickly: "Master Ravenkin's Tower of Shadows should be deep in the Valley of Shadows, but according to my information, there are many
There are so many shadow plane creatures, we must be careful."
Everyone's eyes immediately focused on the ogre.
Tiepi asked uncomfortably: "What's wrong?"
Kate scolded: "Of course we are opening the way! Don't you have any sense of being a warrior, Ironhide?"
"I? I? I open the way?" The ogre was immediately frightened. Although he showed commendable courage when facing the plague tree demon, he was facing a weak one. The enemies ahead were full of unknowns.
, and the attack methods of shadow creatures are notoriously unpredictable, so these courageous creatures were immediately eaten alive by the iron skin, and were completely wiped out.
But when he glanced at his group, he finally realized that there seemed to be no other candidate besides him.
Kate and Erica, one is a warlock and the other is a wizard, cannot open the way; let alone Abu and the two goblins, the former is good at being cute and the latter is good at quarreling. These two specialties cannot be compared with pioneering.
It has nothing to do with it.
So he grimaced and walked into the valley bravely.
Erica saw Ironhide's pitiful look and couldn't help but chuckle. She had never seen such an interesting ogre before in [Despair Plateau].
…
"Ah..." A dull cry of pain resounded in the long corridor. Duran gritted his teeth to hold back, and clamped his hand on the neck of the black figure in front of him. The oak thorns rose high and pierced into the shadow crazily.
Inside the black cat's neck.
There was no blood, no wailing, and visual inspection skills showed that the shadow black cat's life dropped from 28 to 0 in the blink of an eye. Duran breathed a sigh of relief and threw the black cat's body aside. There was a bone-deep line on his left shoulder.
The wound, if Duran hadn't avoided it in time, the wound would have been a few feet off, and Duran's neck would have been severed by this shadow creature.
This was the most serious injury he had suffered while destroying eleven shadow creatures along the way. In terms of overall strength alone, the shadow black cat may not be stronger than the previous shadow creatures, but this guy's concealment ability is outrageous.
It completely blinded Duran's perception. When Duran was most relaxed, he suddenly attacked and almost killed Duran.
Duran could hold back the pain, but he couldn't stop the slowly flowing blood. At this time, he had more than a dozen wounds all over his body. Although they were not deep, they still had an impact on his actions. He killed a large number of
The shadow creatures also brought him generous experience rewards, and the current level of up to 13 is an ironclad proof.
Dulan allocated all his experience to levels, and only clicked [Parrying Skills - Unloading I] to LV2. This skill can help Duran better remove the sneak attack damage from shadow creatures, and the attributes brought by the level increase
Strengthening is also one of the reasons why he can survive until now.
If there are sufficient supplies and rest time, the shadow maze is an excellent leveling treasure. However, now, Dulan feels that it is simply a nightmare - endless shadow creatures hiding in the dark, waiting for opportunities to take away
His life, and he had to struggle to escape from this place, the whole process was simply a torture.
The corridor ahead bifurcated, which was good news for Duran to cheer up. The scenery around him had not changed at all along the way, which would inevitably make people feel that he had entered a dead end.
(The third update is here! Keep asking for some Sanjiang votes. It’s so miserable to be criticized. Readers who haven’t voted should help me~)
