Chapter 226 The reflection in the lake, the knight in the mirror
In the realm of shadows, is the totem fire clearer?"
Thinking like this, Lu Chen looked at the Chen tribe, where the first tribe was established.
After all the evil spirits around him were killed by Lu Chen, Lu Chen discovered that the coordinates of the totem, which was only a point of light in the real world, were much clearer in the realm of shadows.
And this also made Lu Chen thoughtful.
"The Shadow Realm is the shadow of the present world. Everything in the present world has its projection here. If I find the Chen Tribe from the Shadow Realm, I should be able to reach the Chen Tribe directly when I come out from there."
Thinking like this, Lu Chen quickly shook his head.
"The world of shadows is almost identical to the real world. From the world of shadows to the projection land of the Chen tribe, there is almost no difference in distance from the real world to the Chen tribe. It is useless to know this."
"Unless there is a shortcut in the Shadow Realm that can reach other places faster than the current world, then there is value in exploring it."
If there really is such an ability, it can be regarded as a kind of space teleportation.
And this kind of ability can also solve Lu Chen's big problems.
You know, although Lu Chen did it very easily when he erected the totem pole, it was because of Lu Chen's presence, and his tribe could not do this.
Even after it is established, if a powerful evil spirit attacks the evil spirit, Lu Chen still has to rescue it. If the rescue is not timely, the village that he worked so hard to build may be completely destroyed.
Lu Chen didn't care about the buildings in the village, but the death of his clan members was heartbreaking.
Not to mention, when one of the villages under Lu Chen's protection was attacked, other villages would also become panicked, which would be a huge blow to Lu Chen's prestige.
Lu Chen didn't care about prestige at first, but now he doesn't care about it anymore.
Thinking like this, Lu Chen looked at the system panel, and there, Lu Chen's experience value column already had new numbers.
This number is not a lot, but it is something that can't be helped. Although it is easy to kill evil spirits now, the experience points gained by Lu Chen have also been reduced accordingly.
However, when he opened the properties panel this time, Lu Chen looked not at the experience value, but at the system prompts.
While Lu Chen was resting in the Land of Shadows, the system prompts continued to sound.
…
The sound of a steady stream of increasing experience points echoed in Lu Chen's ears. Although Lu Chen received very few experience points every time he was prompted, the speed was very high. Sometimes, there were even several prompts per minute.
If such reminders continue, Lu Chen can even gain five to six thousand experience points in one day.
This kind of data seems very small, but don't forget that Lu Chen didn't move at all at this time, which means that these experience points are all for nothing.
People are sitting at home, but their experience points keep rising. It's like the system is broken.
But of course the system is not broken. The reason why Lu Chen keeps gaining experience points is because of other tribes.
Don't forget, even after entering the royal court and knowing that becoming a barbarian queen would be baptized with divine blood, Lu Chen still had no intention of forming a team.
At that time, he even prepared to form an army by himself and fight against all the princes and their subordinates.
What made Lu Chen change his mind was the experience value that kept appearing.
When fighting in a team with others, Lu Chen once discovered that as long as someone follows him to fight, they will also gain experience points for killing Lu Chen, although the experience points are very small, only one-tenth of normal killings.
But when there are hundreds of people around you, this experience value is not a small amount.
Later, through Lu Chen's exploration, he discovered that if he did not obey him, he would only gain experience points if those barbarians followed him in battle.
And when someone obeys him and obeys his orders, even if they are extremely far away from Lu Chen, as long as they kill the enemy, Lu Chen will continue to gain experience points.
What's more important is that Lu Chen doesn't need to worry too much about these experience values.
"After establishing the village, I only need to be responsible for rescuing people when something big happens. At other times, even if I go to fight, my experience points will continue to flow, and this resource will continue to be cut off."
The further the strength increases, the more experience points are needed. Now there are signs that the experience points needed to cleanse the five internal organs are too much, which has forced Lu Chen to use Qi and blood to baptize instead of relying on the improvement of experience points.
Therefore, in order to gain experience points, Lu Chen prepared to form a tribe.
But now it seems that Lu Chen's idea is right. As long as the tribe is established, those who obey Lu Chen can indeed provide him with a steady stream of experience points.
"Although the experience points are very small now, I have only established two or three tribes. If hundreds of tribes surrender to me, even if I do nothing and just sleep at home, the experience points gained in one day may reach
One hundred thousand."
"Moreover, the warriors of the tribe can not only gain experience points for me, they can also trade with Yunzhou people or explore ruins. Such transactions will definitely bring benefits of extraordinary items. As the leader, I can help in exchange for those
Extraordinary items, and by sacrificing those items, my spiritual energy value will continue to increase, which is definitely much faster than collecting it alone."
The experience value can improve the strength, and the aura value allows Lu Chen to extract the skills he wants from the huge skill library. It can be said that as long as there are enough of both, Lu Chen will dare to kill even gods.
The bright prospects made Lu Chen have to care about the tribe and protect his prestige.
After all, only if the prestige is sufficient, will barbarians follow him, and if the village is frequently attacked, then no one will be willing to follow Lu Chen.
"I want my tribe to gain a lot of experience points for me, which requires the establishment of many tribes. But there are too many tribes, and I can't protect them by myself."
His own skills allow Lu Chen to dare to fight against any evil spirits, but Lu Chen is only one person. Even if he is confident that he can protect the village, the distance between the villages makes it difficult for Lu Chen to fight when some villages are in danger.
You may not be able to make it.
"The Shadow Realm is a projection of the real world. It would be great if we could take a shortcut from the Shadow Realm to reach other tribes."
Thinking of this, Lu Chen's eyes lit up.
With no intention of returning immediately, Lu Chen began to explore the realm of shadows.
The search lasted for a full hour, and during the process, Lu Chen encountered a lot of disappointment.
"Fuck, the world of shadows is exactly the same as the real world. No, it's not the same. Some items in the real world may directly mutate into evil spirits in the world of shadows."
Thinking like this, Lu Chen looked forward. It was a huge tree. Lu Chen had seen that big tree when he arrived from the Chen First Tribe to the Chen Second Tribe that was being established.
When I passed by this world, the big tree looked normal except for being a little dry.
But in the realm of shadows, countless ghostly faces appeared on the tree. At the same time, a large number of tree roots continued to emerge from the ground, trying to drag Lu Chen away and turn it into flower fertilizer.
"You are unlucky to meet me. In the name of justice, I declare that you are evil! Accept the judgment!"
Lu Chen, who was a little annoyed because he couldn't find a shortcut, directly summoned the big sword. The gorgeous giant sword fell from the sky, and with a loud rumbling sound, he directly killed the evil tree with one blow.
"Fuck, the blood power level is only 200 points."
Shaking his head, Lu Chen no longer paid attention to the experience value, but prepared to go back directly from the shadows.
Just as Lu Chen was shaking his head and walking, suddenly, his footsteps stopped and he looked to the side.
There was a deep lake there. When Lu Chen and others came from the present world, they also saw the lake. However, the lake at that time had not changed at all. When Lu Chen came from the realm of shadows, the lake had no changes except that it was gray.
What a change.
But the sound of the mythical giant sword falling was too loud, and this movement seemed to have triggered something.
When Lu Chen turned his eyes, he discovered that there was something abnormal about the lake. The originally calm lake water was like a mirror, but at this time, the reflection of a castle appeared in the mirror-like lake.
There seemed to be nothing unusual about the scenery reflected in the lake, but Lu Chen's eyes narrowed.
"There are no castles around the lake, and the style of this castle is not built by barbarians."
Although I don't want to say it, the barbarians really don't care much about where they live. Apart from the royal court, the buildings where the barbarians live are just big and crude.
Although the castle in front of you is dilapidated, you can see that it is somewhat beautiful.
Lu Chen even saw a garden and an apple tree in the castle. Of course, all the flowers and plants in the garden were withered, and the apple tree was also extremely dry without a trace of green.
Such an exquisite castle has never appeared in the modern world, so this is an anomaly.
When Lu Chen stared at the lake, the reflection of the dilapidated castle in the lake became clearer and clearer.
This strange scene made Lu Chen tighten his grip on the dragon-hunting sword in his hand.
"The sudden appearance of a castle in this land of shadows is not a good sign!"
Lu Chen, who said this, obviously forgot that this castle was probably led out by the fall of the mythical giant sword.
There is no way, the fall of the mythical giant sword is like the explosion of a missile. The sound can be heard even ten miles away, and the endless firelight can be seen rising.
However, now is not the time to think about this. Lu Chen stared at the castle to see if there was anything wrong with him.
Lu Chen didn't have to wait for long. While Lu Chen was staring at the castle, a knight wearing armor and riding a skeleton horse that breathed black fire rushed out from the gate of the ruined castle.
The dilapidated castle was a reflection in the water, but the dilapidated knight rushed out of the castle and stood on horseback on the calm water.
This scene also shocked Lu Chen.
"What is this, Knight of the Lake, Lanstro?"
The black knight in front of him was certainly not Lancetro, one of the Knights of the Round Table, but judging from the threat he posed to Lu Chen, he must be a strong man.
"Giant... leave here... I protect this..."
There was violence in the black knight's eyes, and he seemed to be unconscious. He seemed to have appeared in the castle to stop Lu Chen.
This also made Lu Chen a little speechless: "If you don't make any noise, I will leave directly. It is completely unnecessary to show up now to ask me to leave."
Such an action is indeed not something a normal person can do, and the black knight in front of him is not a normal person either.
But it was not completely evil. From the black knight, Lu Chen felt the evil spirit. But judging from the words and deeds of the black knight, he was polluted by the evil spirit, but he did not regard killing human beings and devouring flesh and blood as his own duty.
It was to protect the dilapidated castle behind him, which made Lu Chen have some suspicions in his mind.
"This knight should be a strong man. He was polluted by evil spirit, but the power of will can resist the pollution of evil spirit. He relied on his own will to resist the erosion of evil spirit, but he did not resist completely, but turned into a half-crazy person.
monster."
Of course, this is just Lu Chen's guess and may be wrong, but no matter what, Lu Chen doesn't play puzzle games.
"If you hadn't come out, I might have left directly, but you coming out made me want to see where the castle you guard came from."
Saying this, Lu Chen raised the long sword in his hand, pointed it at Xie Sui, and said directly: "Hey, I just want to go in and have a look, please give me a passage."
"Leave here...I will protect this place..."
Looking at the black knight who kept saying a few words over and over again, Lu Chen lost interest in talking to him.
"Come here."
As soon as he stretched out his palm, a terrifying suction force came from Lu Chen's palm.
Under the suction force, the black knight's figure was like grass and duckweed, and Lu Chen grabbed him directly.
"Anyone who breaks into this place...will die..."
Being caught, the Black Knight's demeanor did not change at all, but the knight's giant sword in his hand had black flames burning on it. Then, the flames expanded rapidly, and soon, he was wielding a long sword.
The ten-meter pillar of fire struck Lu Chen.
Although the Black Knight is mentally retarded, he is indeed quite strong.
Unfortunately, he met Lu Chen.
Without any intention of evading, Lu Chen just narrowed his eyes when facing the ten-meter-high black flame.
And as Lu Chen's eyes narrowed, a terrifying aura came down like Mount Tai.
Overlord color and domineering, this skill that Lu Chen picked up in the realm of barbaric blood, has always been one of Lu Chen's main combat skills. With this ability, Lu Chen resisted the invasion of ghost hands. It was also the agility that Lu Chen faced in the early stage.
It is the enemy's sure-kill ability.
Lu Chen also valued this ability very much, and after gaining experience points and divinity, he was the first to improve it.
A large amount of resources have been added to allow Overlord Color Haki to reach a high level, and because of the divine crystallization, it has the ability to have nightmares and illusions.
At this time, Lu Chen was trying his best, but the results were terrifying.
With the activation of Overlord Color's domineering energy, the originally silent place of shadows instantly became silent, and even the sound of the wind dissipated directly under the deterrence of the domineering power.
The black knight's chopping action also stopped instantly, as if it was sealed in amber, and his entire consciousness stagnated.
Even the black fire giant sword in the black knight's hand shook for a while, and the domineering force of Lu Chen's will was able to affect the elements.
When the black knight was at a standstill, its figure was grabbed by Lu Chen in his left hand.
Although Lu Chen has a feast and has the blood of the Barbarian King, Lu Chen's left hand is still extremely dry and has exposed blood vessels. It is the palm inhabited by the power of ghosts and gods.
However, although the ghost hand looks scary, its ability is undoubtedly very powerful.
After relying on the Ten Thousand Elements to catch the Black Knight in his hand, Lu Chen tightened his palm slightly, and a terrifying suction force came from Lu Chen's palm.
Under that suction force, everything about the Black Knight, whether it was his soul or evil spirit, was sucked out by Lu Chen's ghostly hand and crushed into a ball.
Then, with a sudden squeeze of his left hand, the adsorbed thing was crushed directly by Lu Chen.
As the thing in his hand was shattered, the black knight's body, which was about to wake up, suddenly stiffened. Then, without Lu Chen making any other movements, its body was reduced to ashes and scattered.
One of the two major abilities of Ghost Hand, this skill brought Lu Chen a lot of help at the beginning.
But because he used his soul-hungry hand too much, Lu Chen went berserk with his ghost hand several times under unexpected circumstances. Although Lu Chen relied on the will attached to the overlord's domineering spirit to resist the invasion of the will of ghosts and gods, this also made Lu Chen
After knowing the danger of the Soul-Hungry Hand, Lu Chen did not dare to use this skill at all because he was afraid of the Ghost Hand's advancement.
However, when the Overlord's Haki reached a high level and Lu Chen possessed the Fire of Will, he became extremely resistant to all abnormal conditions, and therefore, the soul-hungry hand returned to the world again.
In fact, Lu Chen plans to use the soul-hungry hand a few more times in the future. This is because Lu Chen has enough self-control and is ready to absorb some souls and flesh again, so that the ghost hand can be upgraded and free a ghost and god again.
"I did absorb some souls, which is not bad. However, the dark aura absorbed is not as much as what Kaija of the Afterimage absorbed. As long as I stay in the Realm of Shadows for a long time, Kaija of the Afterimage will be directly upgraded."
The Land of Shadows is not safe and not everyone can enter. Even if Lu Chen is here, he is always surrounded by the aura of darkness.
However, Lu Chen is strong and energetic, and Avalon provides energy. Therefore, even if the dark aura surrounds Lu Chen's body, he can persist for a long time.
Moreover, there was no need for Lu Chen to resist now. The afterimage Kaija was guarding Lu Chen, and the surrounding dark aura was absorbed by it.
After killing the Dark Knight, Lu Chen walked slowly to the lakeside. Looking at the dilapidated castle reflected in the lake, Lu Chen had a thought.
Following Lu Chen's will, the first ghost and the second ghost floated directly above the reflection of the lake from two places. The next moment, the two ghosts directly turned into two afterimages and rushed towards the reflection of the castle in the lake.
Go in.
However, the next moment, something happened that made Lu Chen narrow his eyes.
The two ghosts and gods actually crossed the water directly and entered the lake, but they did not enter the ruined castle.
This is a bit complicated to say. The two ghosts and gods are under the water, and the castle is also under the lake, but they don't touch anything, as if they are in two spaces.
"Interesting, the reflection in the lake is actually in another dimension."
Thinking like this, Lu Chen was ready to let Kaija, the afterimage, take him into the lake.
However, as soon as he entered the water, the godhead in Lu Chen's sea of consciousness suddenly burst into light.
The light bloomed and brought Lu Chen a premonition of extreme danger.
That was the apocalypse, which told Lu Chen that there was great danger inside.
Without hesitation, Lu Chen immediately retreated and tried to stay away from the lake when his godhead began to shine.
However, at this time, Lu Chen found that he was somewhat unable to move, as if his body was imprisoned.
"How is it possible? There is nothing around me... Well, how could my figure appear in the castle?"
The perfect body also gave Lu Chen good eyesight. At this time, Lu Chen discovered that at some point, a window in the castle opened. From the window, Lu Chen spied on a room in the castle.
What was shocking was that there was a figure sitting in the room.
And that figure was none other than Lu Chen, but it was a somewhat vague Lu Chen.
But when Lu Chen saw the figure in the reflection, the figure became clear very quickly. Lu Chen, who was wearing a butler's dress, smiled at Lu Chen on the shore.
The smile was very light, but it caused endless waves in Lu Chen's heart. At the same time, when the reflection in the lake was clear, Lu Chen's figure by the lake was quickly fading.
He is being pulled into the reflection in the lake.
"Fuck, that was a mistake. The Black Knight wasn't stupid, it was me who was too stupid. He wanted to arouse my curiosity and lead me into a trap."
At this time, Lu Chen had such a clear understanding in his heart.
However, now it seems that it is too late to realize that Lu Chen's figure on the shore is constantly fading.
Moreover, because of the reflection in the lake, Lu Chen couldn't attack anywhere.
However, at this time, Lu Chen was not too worried.
"No matter who you are, no matter what weird abilities you have, you can't pull me away."
Amidst the roar, Lu Chen's figure on the shore of the lake was rising rapidly.
Twice the size, Lu Chen instantly swelled to eight meters, and the surge of his body also brought about a surge of energy and blood. This made Lu Chen change from a fire pile to a furnace. His strength became stronger, and the pull inside was naturally weaker.
Some.
This wasn't the end yet, when the big and small Ruyi started, Lu Chen was even more excited.
Anger made Lu Chen's body turn red, which was a sign of the rapid blood flow.
At the same time, this was the endless rage that started after the body became bigger. This situation caused Lu Chen's own strength and blood to double after doubling.
Although this surge of qi and blood consumes cellular energy to maintain, with Avalon replenishing energy, the energy of the cells in Lu Chen's body is sufficient.
The deployment of two consecutive skills transformed Lu Chen into an eight-meter-long bloody giant, with the energy, blood and strength in his body quadrupled.
The rapidly increasing energy and blood could not even be controlled by Lu Chen's will.
There was blood mist surrounding Lu Chen, which was caused by the continuous bursting of capillaries in his body. Not only the capillaries, Lu Chen's skin was also constantly cracking, and blood was constantly flowing out.
This explosive skill was too violent, and Lu Chen's body couldn't bear it.
The current Lu Chen is somewhat similar to Emperor Kai who opened the door to death in Naruto.
It can be said that the crazy burst of four times the energy and blood did not require the enemy to attack at all. It only lasted for a few minutes and Lu Chen was seriously injured.
But the physical burden is heavy, and the continuous activation of two skills brings Lu Chen a lot of growth.
If Lu Chen's energy and blood were originally like a furnace, now, it's like a forest fire.
The explosion of Qi and blood made the atmosphere around Lu Chen become a little hot. This was the heat caused by the blood flowing too fast.
And under this kind of explosion, Lu Chen felt like he could smash everything.
This was not false. Without using any abilities, Lu Chen skyrocketed to eight meters. Lu Chen, who activated his endless rage, only twisted his body slightly, and his imprisoned body became able to move again.
And this also made Lu Chen reveal his blood-stained white teeth.
"Sure enough, as long as I have enough energy and blood, I can break free from all weird abilities."
