The elixir continued to release bursts of spiritual energy in Chen Zisong's belly, and Chen Zisong did not relax, spinning his inner energy around and around, until all the medicinal power was exhausted and no more spiritual energy was decomposed.
At that time, Chen Zisong stopped practicing.
After carefully feeling the internal force in his Dantian, Chen Zisong estimated that he was already in the middle to late stage of the third level of martial arts. As long as he swallowed another low-grade Heqi pill, he would definitely be able to directly reach the peak of the third level of martial arts and reach a new bottleneck.
.
It's just that even though the properties of this Heqi Pill are relatively mild, it is impossible to take it continuously. No matter how impatient Chen Zisong is, he has to wait until tomorrow. But now... Chen Zisong feels that it is time for him to let his shadow clone go to Mujiabao.
It’s a turn!
The sky is dark tonight, both the big one and the small one are covered by dark clouds, and everything is dark. This kind of weather is suitable for the shadow clone to move. Chen Zisong is still sitting under the tree, posing as if he is continuing to practice.
It looked like this, but a shadow that blended into the night had quietly passed through the open space outside the fort, and in a blink of an eye it was in front of the city wall that was at least five feet high.
This Mujia Fort is built on the mountain. It is very tall. The two gates, one large and one small, will be closed at night. Every ten feet or so on the wall of the castle, there will be a guard guarding it. It is said that this is
It is not an exaggeration to say that there is a wall of copper and iron.
However, for Chen Zisong's shadow clone, this unattainable city wall was just that. He didn't even use the momentum to run. When he came under the city wall, he jumped up and "swish".
Having already climbed up to the top of the wall, the hands made of shadows hugged the battlements and gently pushed them, and then quietly fell into the city wall.
Although there were torches lighting up the city wall, the location where the shadow clone chose to enter was right between the two torches, which was where the light was the darkest. Therefore, even though there was a guard patrolling not far away, he simply didn't see it.
There is a strange shadow that has sneaked into this castle...
The area of the ancient castle is not small. The streets in the castle are in the shape of a checkerboard, crisscrossing horizontally and vertically. But in the center of the castle, there is a circular inner city... You don’t need to ask to know that the alchemy room is so important.
The place must be located in the inner city.
The shadow clone spotted the location and immediately jumped directly from the inner wall several feet high. Anyway, his shadow clone had almost no weight. Even if he jumped from a higher place, he would not make any noise.
For example, even if a goose feather falls from a height of several hundred feet, it will definitely not make a sound when it hits the ground, let alone a shadow clone that is theoretically lighter than a goose feather.
After falling into the city, the shadow clone began to fly along the shadows on the street corners, all the way to the inner city in the center. The wall of the inner city was only more than two feet high, and this height was naturally higher for the shadow clone.
It's no big deal. It's just that the inner city is much brighter than the outer city.
There are many people outside walking around in the inner city, and it can be seen just from the demeanor of these people... The cultivation level of each of them is much stronger than that of the sinister young man Chen Zisong killed today.
Well, it is estimated that the cultivation level of these people is at least above the level of warrior or even warrior.
Therefore, the shadow clone did not dare to act recklessly when he arrived here. Along the way, he looked for blind corners where the light could not shine. Whenever someone passed by, he would immediately shrink into the darkest corner around him. In this way.
He stopped and went, and the efficiency was really slow. Fortunately, Chen Zisong didn't expect to steal the elixir today. As long as he could find the location of the elixir room, Chen Zisong would be satisfied.
However... all the buildings in the inner city all look the same, and there are no signs on the doors. If the shadow clone only looks at it from the outside, it really can't tell where it is. After walking around the inner city for a short time,
Finally, the shadow clone finally made up his mind and prepared to enter these courtyards and inspect them one by one. Anyway, there are only twenty or thirty courtyards in the inner city. If you search them one by one, it probably won’t take much longer to search them all!…
.
After making up his mind, the shadow clone didn't make much choice, and immediately went to the nearest courtyard and got through the narrow door crack... Although the shadow clone couldn't pass through the wall, as long as there was a slight gap in the door and window,
, there is no way he can block his paper-thin body.
Fortunately, there are no lights in this courtyard, and it is so dark that you don't have to worry about being exposed. As soon as the shadow clone passed through the crack in the door, you saw a large hall directly opposite the courtyard door, and
The hall door is not closed,
Through the faint light that penetrated the hall, the shadow clone could see that there was a three-legged bronze tripod that was almost as tall as a person in the middle of the hall. Moreover, a gust of night wind blew, and the shadow clone seemed to smell it.
Faint medicinal scent!
It is worth mentioning that, apart from not having a real body, this shadow clone has almost copied all the abilities of Chen Zisong's original body. In particular, he has all five human senses, so he can not only see but also smell.
Smell, hear sounds.
At this time, seeing the copper tripod in the hall and smelling the alluring fragrance of medicine, the shadow clone suddenly became excited... What a good luck, he actually entered a courtyard and found the location of the alchemy room!
However, at this moment, an old man's majestic voice was suddenly heard from the side room on the left: "How brave! Anyone who breaks into the alchemy room without permission - die!"
With a sound of "Woo--" and the old man's shout, a black light suddenly penetrated the thin window paper of the west wing and shot straight to where the shadow clone was hiding.
After entering the courtyard, the shadow clone did not relax its vigilance, and kept shrinking in the darkest corner. Logically speaking... let alone the other party in the room, and there was a window that was not light-transmitting, even if someone stood there
He shouldn't be able to see him so close! How come the person in the room not only discovered him, but also grasped his position so accurately? The place where the black light hit was clearly in the right place
It is the heart position of the shadow clone.
Seeing the black light coming, the shadow clone was shocked. However, relying on his terrifying speed in this state, he was not too afraid. When he saw something bad, he immediately bent his knees and jumped towards the courtyard wall...
However... just as the shadow clone moved, he suddenly felt a powerful and invisible force locking him firmly. No matter how hard he tried, he could not move even half an inch.
The shadow clone was shocked and shocked, and watched helplessly as the black light came towards him, and finally penetrated the heart of the black shadow without any stagnation, and penetrated deeply into the wall behind. The black light shot
After entering the wall, most of it penetrated directly into the wall. The small section exposed outside the wall was still "buzzing" for a long time, and then slowly stopped, gradually revealing the true face of the black light.
It turned out to be just a black wooden chopstick...
With a sound of "Whoosh-", as the wooden chopsticks were inserted into the wall, the window of the west wing opened wide, and then another white figure flew out. The speed of the figure was not much slower than the previous black light.
Even the shadow clone, which is known for its speed, is far inferior compared to it.
The white figure paused and fell to the ground, revealing an old man wearing a white robe. The old man was tall and thin, especially his face, which was even thinner than skin and bones, but the old man's eyes were like
Like two lamps in the dark night, they were full of sharp divine light. But at this time, these sharp eyes were full of doubts and confusion. The old man stood under the wall and stretched out two fingers to hold the tail of the wooden chopsticks.
With a gentle tug, he pulled out the wooden chopsticks intact.
He raised the chopsticks and put them in front of his eyes to look at them, then put them to his nose and smelled them. Then the old man said to himself: "Strange! I clearly feel that there is someone here, and... I should have shot the person who came here."
Yes, why... there is nothing here! Could it be that... the speed of people coming is faster than my perception? Or... am I so old that even my perception begins to hallucinate? "….
…………
Outside Mujiabao, Chen Zisong was sitting under a big tree when his whole body suddenly shook. He put his hand on his chest and gasped for breath. After a long while, he slowly straightened up, but there was a look in his eyes.
There was a look of shock and fear.
Just now, when the shadow clone was hit by the black light in the courtyard of the alchemy room, the thin shadow was instantly shot to pieces by this huge force, and turned into nothingness in the blink of an eye. At the same time,
Chen Zisong's body actually felt as if his chest had been pierced by a sharp arrow, and the pain made him sweat all over his body. Fortunately, this was just a feeling, and the pain disappeared after just a moment. As for Chen Zisong's body, there was no
What damage.
And thankfully, although the black light directly shot the shadow clone into nothingness, it only consumed the mental energy condensed into the shadow in an instant. As for the trace of Chen Zisong's consciousness integrated into it, it did not disappear.
, the moment the shadow clone broke, that ray of consciousness had already crossed a long distance and returned directly to Chen Zisong's body. Therefore, although Chen Zisong seemed to have suffered a lot of damage this time, in fact, there was nothing essential.
As long as you rest for a period of time, you can re-split the shadow clone.
However, as soon as he thinks of the terrifying and mysterious power that enveloped the shadow clone and prevented it from moving even half a minute, Chen Zisong still felt deeply frightened! Fortunately, this time, the shadow clone was killed.
If Chen Zisong sneaked into the alchemy room by himself, the consequences... would be unimaginable!
After learning such a lesson, Chen Zisong no longer dares to think about the pills in the alchemy room. Since he could be noticed by others when he sneaked into the darkest corner just now, there is still a possibility next time.
!And this time it was because the black light emitted by the man directly shattered his shadow clone, that Chen Zisong was able to successfully escape his consciousness. But next time... if the man just used that mysterious
The power immobilizes the shadow clone, but if he doesn't use his killing move immediately... the secret of Chen Zisong's shadow clone may be exposed immediately!
