Chapter 597: Shadow Forest
After Alpha finished demonstrating his new skills, he returned to Bai Qi, and the sword shadow also stopped moving, hiding in the shadow under Alpha's feet.
But even so, Bai Qi still felt that the sword shadow seemed to be able to attack him at any time.
“Is it a passive skill?”
Bai Qi picked up a piece of debris and threw it towards Alpha. Before Alpha could move, the sword shadow jumped out from the shadows and chopped the debris into pieces with one sword.
"It is true. A sword shadow that can automatically defend and counterattack. Alpha, you don't have to worry about being attacked by surprise in the future."
Bai Qi looked at Alpha with a smile and said.
Crunch.
(Well, no one can sneak attack me though.)
Alpha sheathed his sword and stood, emitting an invincible aura.
"I give you 101 points for this operation, and the remaining 1 point is for pride."
Bai Qi couldn't help but give a thumbs up when he heard that. If it was someone else, he might have to discipline him. After all, arrogant soldiers go before a fall. Who knows when he will fall from grace if he is so arrogant.
But if it is Alpha, there is no need to do so. After all, Alpha’s record is there, and this mentality has become part of Alpha’s powerful strength.
Be proud when you win, but don't be discouraged when you lose.
Alpha's mentality is no different from the sword immortal in Bai Qi's mind who can break all calamities with one sword.
Ahhhhhhh…
(Damn it, this is my home court, but why did Stinky Bones steal the spotlight...)
Beta looked at Alpha with resentment, but Shuke and Jerry had completely different expressions.
"Alpha is indeed stronger than us. I need to acquire more knowledge."
The data stream in Shuke's eyes kept flashing, constantly analyzing Alpha's actions just now.
"Indeed, I haven't developed my own original power deeply enough. I also need to study it carefully."
The dark golden scale behind Jerry kept flashing, and the power of judgment flowed deep in his soul, as if looking for something.
Ahhhh!
(Damn it, I have to work harder too!)
The three heads of the Huskies instantly became full of fighting spirit, and platinum, gold, and dark gold lights flashed, full of an aura of wealth.
"Sure enough, the curling that is forced from the outside world is not as effective as the curling that comes from the heart."
Bai Qi was very satisfied seeing this. Unlike the other pets, Alpha and Husky had known each other for a long time, and it seemed that because of their race (dogs and bones?), there had always been a competitive relationship between them.
Of course, Alpha has always won so far, but the Husky has not given up.
Thinking of this, Bai Qi couldn't help but look at the other three pets.
Gamma didn't care about Alpha's strength or the sudden outburst of Husky's will, but was silently searching for something in the pile of zombies.
Click, click, click…
(Can zombie meat be eaten?)
"You don't even let the zombies go. Gamma, your teeth are getting better and better..."
The corner of Bai Qi's eye twitched, and he silently decided in his heart that he must implement an independent dining system with Gamma in the future, otherwise who knows what strange things he will eat one day.
"Chief, are we heading to the next level?"
Cordyceps fell on Bai Qi's shoulder, looked at the teleportation array in front of him, and said.
"Yes, of course I will."
Bai Qi nodded and said, "If you can't win, just run away!"
Bai Qi was quite satisfied with the gains from the seventh level, and he was also looking forward to the eighth level. If he could gather all the prerequisite skills of the Overlord of the Undead, Alpha might be able to evolve directly into a high-level emperor and prepare for the legendary battle.
"Do I need to contact Mr. Nicholas?"
Cordyceps asked.
"Emmm... Let's get in touch . There's a good chance we might encounter a legendary creature."
Bai Qi thought for a moment and said, "How about I go and trick the Fire Rock Demon Tiger over here?"
Ahh ...
(Human, your IQ is finally catching up to 10% of mine.)
Hearing Bai Qi's words, Beta patted Bai Qi's shoulder with relief. Bai Qi couldn't help but roll his eyes at her arrogant look.
"Forget it, Cordyceps, you continue to contact Nicholas. If we encounter any danger, we can just teleport directly to the Fire Rock Demon Tiger."
Bai Qi held the fifth-level teleportation rune in his hand and strode into the teleportation array.
…
The great tomb at dusk.
Eighth floor.
Whoosh~
In the endless darkness, a ray of light flashed, and Bai Qi and his party appeared quietly.
Ahhhh!
(It’s so dark, I don’t like it!)
As soon as Beta came in, he smelled the strong power of shadow here, and directly activated his indestructible golden body to dispel the darkness around him. The vision of Bai Qi and others also gradually recovered.
However, before Beta could take credit, he was hit hard on the head by a claw that Jerry conjured up.
"Idiot, the Indestructible Golden Body and the Shadow Power repel each other. You are attracting the enemy's attention!"
Ahhhhhhh…
(I didn’t mean to do that…)
Beta felt a little embarrassed when he heard that, then he sniffed and seemed to have discovered something.
(It seems like a creature is approaching...)
As soon as Beta finished speaking, Alpha and Gamma rushed out first. The red lotus fire and the thunder of judgment flashed at the same time, and bursts of shrill wails suddenly came from the darkness.
Afterwards, Alpha and Gamma each carried a pitch-black cat beast back to Bai Qi.
"Flesh and blood creatures? Aren't all the people in this great dusk tomb filled with undead?"
Seeing this, Chongcao became curious and said.
"The owner of the Dusk Tomb is a lich who is inclined towards shadows. The undead is just one of the shadows."
Bai Qi approached the shadow cat and took a look at it. He said, "From the looks of it, the eighth floor should be filled with these creatures with shadow attributes."
"I see. I understand."
Chongcao suddenly realized what was going on. He looked at the dark world around him and said, "Since this is the shadow world, leave it to me!"
After saying that, Cordyceps flew up from Bai Qi's shoulder and hung above everyone's head. The sun wheel behind it gradually released the power of the sun, like a small sun, dispelling the darkness around it.
Click, click!
(Nagama also comes to help!)
Seeing this, Gamma flapped the angel wings behind him, and the dazzling holy light instantly pierced through some shadow creatures that tried to sneak attack them.
In an instant, wailing was heard everywhere, and the shadow creatures moved away from the location of Cordyceps and Gamma, for fear of being harmed by the Holy Light and the power of the sun.
"It looks much better this way."
Bai Qi nodded slightly, looking at the forest around him that was gradually revealing its true appearance, and said, "Since there is a forest, there should be a lot of resources on the eighth floor, right?"
"After testing, it was found that there are rich mineral deposits underground not far away, which have a very strong shadow power. They may be the shadow material that Hei Bai mentioned."
Shuke said as he scanned the land ahead.
"Shadow mineral deposits? This is an unexpected gain."
Bai Qi's eyes lit up, as this was related to his breakthrough to the legendary level. The priority of this shadow material was much higher than others, and it was a resource that could not be missed.
"It's a pity that Jetta is not here, otherwise Jetta's abilities would be perfect for mining or something like that."
Li Lei asked Jieta to study potions, so Bai Qi did not bring Jieta with him when he came to the Dusk Tomb this time.
"Leave it to me. The ability of the zodiac rat is also suitable for mining."
Shuke released the zodiac rat and began to check the location of the mine, ignoring the shadow beasts around him who were eyeing him covetously.
"Yes, the mine is left to you."
Bai Qi nodded, looked at the shadow creatures that were forced back by the Sun and the Holy Light, and said, "As for these, I'll leave them to you two, Alpha and Delta."
"It's so hard to find a layer that can produce some materials. We can't miss it."
Crunch.
(Okay, boss!)
Bloopers!
(No problem, Master.)
Alpha and Delta nodded in unison, then charged into the group of shadow beasts.
Unlike the previous few levels that were filled with undead, these shadow beasts were basically flesh and blood creatures, so in theory, a lot of materials could be harvested from them.
Alpha and Delta were obviously aware of this. One gave up other weapons with a wider destructive area and chose the Wind-Chasing Sword with the smallest incision. The other made use of his rich knowledge of biology and used void shuttle to accurately strike the enemy's vital points.
Facing the seemingly endless shadow beasts in the Shadow Forest, Alpha and Delta seemed to be strolling in the garden, feeling extremely relaxed.
"Beastmaster, we have found the location of the mine."
Soon, Shuke locked onto the specific location of the Shadow Mine, but his eyes became alert.
"Is there another creature guarding it?"
Bai Qi noticed Shuke's strangeness and asked.
"Yes, even though it has merged with the aura of those mineral deposits, I can still sense strong soul fluctuations."
Jerry on the side nodded and said, "If I'm not mistaken, there are at least three emperor creatures there."
"Just the three-headed Emperor creature?"
Bai Qi's eyes lit up. Three-headed Emperor Shadow creatures, that means at least three legendary resources.
Wow, this is indeed a secret realm left behind by the lich. Not only does it have many levels, but the resource output is also quite high.
"Go, go, go, hurry up and kill them before they run away. We can't let the meat fly away!"
Click, click?
(Meat? Master, can Gamma eat them?)
Hearing that there was food, Gamma, who was floating above his head to dispel the shadow force, suddenly became energetic and even couldn't help drooling at the corners of his mouth.
The shadow beasts here have strong shadow power in their bodies. Gamma just took the opportunity to swallow a few of them. The taste is unique. If they are emperor level, I am afraid they will taste even better.
"Gamma, you are now an Emperor creature after all. Pay attention to your image and stop drooling."
Seeing Gama, who looked like a god, drooling, Bai Qi felt helpless and said, "Let's see what kind it is first. You can eat it after extracting the useful materials."
Click, click!
(Okay!)
Gamma cheered suddenly, and the holy light flashing on his body became more dazzling, and it actually purified some shadow beasts that didn't have time to dodge.
Seeing this, Bai Qi couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Although his appearance has become much more handsome, Gamma is still the same greedy slime monster at heart.
