Chapter 51: Shadow Escape
Time is running out.
After some hesitation, Su Xing decisively walked to Mushroom Village and allowed the shadow monsters to swarm over.
Seeing Su Xing's strange behavior, the villagers in Mushroom Village felt confused.
"Look! That man is heading towards the shadow monster!"
"Isn't he just weird? Otherwise, why would he take the initiative to go outside the village?"
Amidst the discussion of the villagers, the shadow monsters also rushed to Su Xing and rushed towards Su Xing one after another.
The 'evil' monsters do not have entities, so they rarely use physical means to attack humans.
They generally use various abilities to influence targets.
For example, the "longevity ghost" uses lifespan to influence the entire world of human beings and takes away the lives of those who have exhausted their lifespan.
Another example is "charm", which is to confuse human beings with phantoms of the opposite sex, causing them to exhaust their energy and die.
Another example is these shadow monsters.
When shadow monsters kill people, they use their ability to blend into shadows, blend into human bodies, and assimilate their targets into shadows.
Outside Mushroom Village.
After the shadow monsters gradually integrated into Su Xing's body, Su Xing felt an inexplicable burning sensation on the tentacle marks on his chest.
This burning sensation was almost exactly the same as what I experienced in Lingzhou City that day.
Not long after.
As more and more shadow monsters merged into Su Xing's body, his body was gradually dyed black by the shadow monsters, and his whole person seemed to turn into a black shadow.
His whole body was completely black, and he was no different from the shadow monsters around him.
Not only that.
Su Xing's vision also gradually changed.
His eyes began to adapt to the darkness and he could see various things in the darkness clearly.
relatively.
When he looked in the direction of Mushroom Village, he felt that the surface of the Mushroom House was emitting an extremely dazzling light. This light also contained unbearable heat, which seemed to burn Su Xing's entire body.
——Under the influence of the shadow monsters, Su Xing turned into a shadow monster that was afraid of light.
The only difference was that Su Xing's chest, which originally had tentacle marks, was now sprouting countless 'black threads'.
These black lines were wrapped around the surface of his body, looking very scary.
Inside Mushroom Village.
After seeing countless 'black threads' appearing on Su Xing's body, a villager asked in shock: "Why did that man have so many black threads appear on his body after he was turned into a shadow monster?"
"Not sure."
There is a monk in the Qi Refining Stage who escaped from the Black City in this mushroom village.
At this time, he was also extremely shocked: "Can't that person turn into the king of shadow monsters?"
"I feel like it!" A villager looked solemn and reminded the people around him: "Everyone, please pay attention, be careful of the shadow monster king running into the village!"
As soon as these words came out, all the villagers subconsciously moved closer to the mushroom house, as if they were extremely afraid of the 'Shadow Monster King' outside the village.
Outside the village.
The black lines on Su Xing's body surface didn't last long before they all poured into his body.
It seems that due to the influence of the black thread, Su Xing's whole body gradually returned to normal from the shadow state.
at the same time.
The moment Su Xing revealed his true form, the rune monster in mid-air had already controlled the white mace and flew straight towards Su Xing's head.
At the critical moment, Su Xing's eyes flashed with enlightenment, and his whole body turned into a black shadow again, gradually sinking into the ground.
Suddenly, the villagers in Mushroom Village were in an uproar.
"After that person turned into a shadow monster, why did he change back again?"
"This is impossible."
Compared with the villagers, the monk in the Qi training period was more knowledgeable, and he couldn't accept it at the moment: "How did that person do it?"
In the distance, after Su Xing merged into the shadows, he figured out his new ability in just a few seconds:
It was the same as that time outside Lingzhou City.
After Su Xing was affected by the abilities of the shadow monsters, he also successfully copied the abilities of the 'shadow monsters' under the influence of the tentacle mark.
This ability allows Su Xing himself to turn into a shadow and blend into the shadows.
This ability does not seem to be different from that of 'transformation', as both of them seem to be able to move regardless of terrain.
But in comparison, the movement speed of the shadow transformation is several times, even dozens of times, than that of the 'dark transformation' state.
Not only that.
If Su Xing's prediction is correct, this shadow state should be able to ignore the 'spiritual light formation' and travel freely inside and outside the formation.
After all, the shadow monsters use shadow transformation to enter and exit the black city, so they can ignore the 'spiritual light array'.
certainly.
There are also certain restrictions on the use of this shadow transformation ability.
That is, this ability must be used in a place with dark shadows, such as this desert underground.
But in a place with light, Su Xing couldn't even turn into a shadow.
Just like the desert surface.
Since this shadow form is extremely fast and can only be performed with the help of shadows, Su Xing called this ability 'Shadow Escape'.
The journey from Mushroom Village to Lingshi Mine was originally close to an hour, but Su Xing arrived there in less than a stick of incense.
After arriving at the outskirts of the Lingshi Mine, Su Xing emerged from the shadows and sat cross-legged on the ground, silently recovering his spiritual power and waiting for the arrival of the Golden Core Talisman Monster.
at the same time.
A monkey's voice also came from inside the Lingshi Mine: "Huh? Why did you come back so suddenly? Where is the talisman monster chasing you?"
While Su Xing was running his exercises to restore his spiritual power, he distractedly replied to the monkey: "I've left that talisman monster behind. I think I'll catch up soon."
"Your speed is actually faster than that Jindan stage talisman monster?" Hearing what Su Xing said, the monkey suddenly became interested: "Did you use any magical power?"
"No, no."
As soon as Monkey finished speaking, he immediately overturned his guess: "How can a monk in the foundation-building stage have such magical powers? Boy, you must have some kind of magic weapon to escape, right?"
Guessing this, the monkey said strangely: "But since you have such a magic weapon, why don't you just escape from the underground? Instead, you have to go back to the underground again?"
Su Xing smiled and said: "The reason why I came back to this underground place can't be explained at all for a while...but in short, it's actually just one sentence."
"What words?"
"I'm walking a monster."
"Walking monsters? What does this mean?" Monkey is not a time traveler, so he naturally does not understand the game terms Su Xing said.
He was about to continue asking, but suddenly he felt something in his heart and said to Su Xing: "The talisman monster has caught up with me."
"Not too slow, but not too fast either..."
Hearing the monkey's reminder, Su Xing immediately concluded that the speed of the rune monster was roughly half of the speed when he used 'Shadow Escape'.
Su Xing calculated the speed of the talisman monster and led it underground just to prepare for the "walking monster":
The 'Aura of Spiritual Light' can isolate monsters whose strength does not exceed the foundation building.
The talisman monster has the strength of the Golden Core stage and may not be blocked by the aura formation of the Black City.
Because of this, Su Xing came up with the idea of luring the rune monster underground and using 'Shadow Escape' to return to the Black City.
With his speed advantage, Su Xing could buy himself about half an hour of breathing time.
