Chapter 42 Shadowless Shadow
After riding a flying bird for a long time, I didn't see a shadow creature. In addition to the human-like creatures on this planet, there are some monsters that look like mammals. There are no monster-like shadows at all. In addition, I also found a problem, that is, the power of the creatures here is very small. During the flight, I went down to attack several different creatures to test the effect. As a result, no matter how big or small, the creatures here were not very powerful. The largest creature I found was almost as big as a giant dragon, but its power was only slightly greater than mine. At most, it was the power level of two high-level bulls, which was completely disproportionate to the power of creatures of the same size on the earth. In addition, in addition to being relatively weak in strength, there are also some obvious strange things about the creatures here. What makes me most surprised is that I haven't seen anything use magic for so long. Whether it's monsters or human-like creatures, none of them use magic. But the strange thing is that many people here do. There is a staff. The people here obviously know magic, but they don't use it. Even in battle, they only use physical combat.
After much research, I couldn't figure out the situation, but in the end, it attracted the people below. When I was flying over a tall castle, a large group of long-haired flying dragons suddenly flew up below, followed by many other creatures. Originally, these things were not a threat to me. After all, no one could catch up with the speed of a flying bird. Different propulsion methods determine that creatures that fly by flapping their wings will not be able to catch up with birds, but experience can sometimes be of no help. The opponent's speed is indeed no match for Asuka, but these bastards actually have interception weapons.
The flying bird was avoiding the pursuers behind me under my command. Suddenly there was a flash of light below, and then we saw a white thing flying up. Asuka turned aside and tried to dodge, but the thing suddenly expanded into a large sheet in mid-air. The area is huge. If we had known it was a Zhang, we would have been able to get out of the way, but now it was too late. The center was blocked by us. The heavy balls scattered around were immediately pulled and wrapped around the center, and we were tied into rice dumplings with a huff.
The opponent's air cavalry immediately chased after us with a smile after finding out that we were trapped, but they didn't expect that just as they were halfway there, a red light suddenly flashed in front of Dali, and a large number of crescent-shaped sword lights flew in all directions. Disintegrated in the air. What appeared inside was me holding eternity, the bird had been taken back, and I myself had returned to human form. Trapped tightly. There is no way to use weapons to cut through the surroundings without reducing the size.
It's a pity that I ignored the number of weapons on the opponent. As soon as I cut the one, seven or eight white dots flew up from below. Moreover, the target chose a large area near me, not the one attacking me, no matter which way I went. Shandu will definitely be included.
Out of desperation, I point my eternity to the sky. "Convert." The black whirlwind rolled past his feet, and the beautiful rainbow-colored armor descended from under the whirlwind. The whirlwind above rolled all the way over my head and then disappeared. I had switched to the silver moon state, and the eternity in my hand turned into a sun stick. The air cavalry on the opposite side were all stunned for a moment, but their speed did not slow down and they were still flying towards me. I pointed my staff downward. "Firestorm."
A large number of blue light spots suddenly appeared in the surrounding sky. Then it quickly gathered towards the top of my staff, where it gathered into a blue ball of light half a meter in diameter. Then the ball of light suddenly shot out a large amount of blue flames like a torrential rain. Wind blade. Before the launch pad below unfolded, it was smashed into pieces by the flame knife and began to fall downwards. I even looked at my staff in confusion, but I didn't expect that its power had increased so much. In the past, fire storms should have emitted red flames. Unexpectedly, today they all turned into blue flames. This is one of the main characteristics of high-temperature flames. The higher the temperature, the lighter the color of the fire.
"The first team goes to the left, the second team goes to the right, surround him." A female voice suddenly appeared behind me. A woman is standing on a black ball with wings. She is directing other people to surround me. Obviously she has the highest status here.
Although those few pictures failed to trap me, it was enough time for the enemy to catch up. I am now firmly surrounded by them in the center. There are no holes at all except for a gap underneath.
The winged black ball flew in front of me, and the woman standing on it pointed at me with a staff nearly two meters long. "Bold Assassin, is the Royal Palace of Rodnia a place where you can come and leave at will?"
I turned to stare at the woman. She wore a set of black armor, which was quite gorgeous, but nothing special. She wasn't wearing a helmet and I could see her face clearly. This woman is quite beautiful and has a very good figure. The most important thing is that she looks almost exactly like a human. The only difference between this race and humans is the eyes with white cross stars. Everything else is the same.
Seeing that I didn't answer, the woman waved her staff. "In the name of the Royal Guard of the Kingdom of Rodnia, I order you to surrender immediately."
I looked up, down, left and right. Then suddenly the wings folded. The translucent wings covered me, and my body fell straight down like a rock. People nearby did not expect that I would suddenly run down, the only undefended place. After all, the ground was not far below, and there was no way down. I didn't want to land. Just before I landed, I suddenly opened my wings. The tension brought by the speed was instantly converted into forward force by the wings, and I suddenly slid forward.
"Stop her." The woman above shouted.
Suddenly a huge ugly monster stood up on the ground, and my current flight path was blocked by him. I reacted quickly and folded one of my wings, and my body immediately turned sideways. The monster waved his hand to pat me, but I slipped sideways and slipped out from between his fingers. But what I didn't expect was that as soon as I passed through the monster's fingers, I met one head-on, and my wings were instantly entangled. Seeing the wall in front of me getting closer and closer, it would definitely hurt if I hit it in this posture.
Quickly switch states again in the air. The Purple Sun form has thick skin and a collision should not cause much damage. It hit a wall with a loud bang, then passed through the first floor and flew directly into a room on the lower floor. The floor on this floor is made of some kind of rock material and is quite hard, but fortunately, the surface is covered with a thick layer of long wool carpet. I hit the rocky ground and was bounced up. After the body rolled a few meters on the ground, it smashed into a large bed, and then rolled into a pile of soft objects in the corner before stopping.
"Huh! I'm alive!" I climbed up from the ground and threw away the things hanging on my body. After working on it for a long time, there are a lot of stuffed toys. No wonder they feel so soft when they fall to the ground. Looking around, this seems to be a woman's room. The whole room is almost five hundred square meters in size, and the bed that I just knocked apart is at least ten square meters in size. It is simply luxurious. There are long plush carpets throughout the room, and they are even pink-colored. The walls and ceiling are light pink. It looks very warm when paired with this pink carpet. The furnishings in the room are almost all pink, and most of them are wrapped in long fur coats, which makes people want to touch them. "Didn't I crash into the queen's room?"
"You crashed into the princess's room." The woman who directed and intercepted me from the sky at the beginning was slowly falling from the hole on the roof, and looked at me angrily.
"Haha, I didn't expect that I was so lucky that I could find the softest room here and make an emergency landing."
"I don't care where you land, you don't have to get out of here alive today. No man other than His Royal Highness the King can enter the Princess's room, including the princes. You are not only an assassin. You have also entered the Princess's room without permission. In the bedroom, it’s not too much to even scratch your skin and give you cramps.”
"Don't you say it's so scary? In fact, I am a messenger. I came to the king to negotiate some business, but I just took the wrong path. As for this place, I don't want to come in. It's you who dragged me in."
"Why did we get you in? Don't slander us. The king won't believe what you say." The one who spoke was the black ball under the female leader. This thing had a mouth and a pair of eyes. It looked like Like a human face.
I smiled: "You should know that things without power will fall to the ground. In this case, you also used force to wrap up my wings, which made me lose power. It was not you who brought me in. Did I come in on my own?"
"Hmph, breaking into the palace without permission is a capital offense. No matter what, you have no chance of surviving." The door was knocked open with a bang, and teams of soldiers rushed in, but they were all female, and there was no male soldier. This is indeed a forbidden area for men. Even the male soldiers were kept out. However, this place has obviously long expected that a similar situation might occur, so so many female soldiers have been arranged to protect the safety of this place.
I looked at the soldiers at the door and smiled: "Detachment of women! Do you think these people can stop me?"
"Don't look down on my female guards." The female general pointed towards me: "Catch him."
I waved to them: "I won't play with you anymore, I'll get out of the way first." The ground suddenly collapsed, and a bunch of green vines stretched out from below and wrapped me in. Several attacks that followed were all It hit the vines, but it didn't cause any harm to me. The vines wrapped me and quickly moved me underground. When they rushed to the edge of the hole and looked down, they could only see a row of large holes at corresponding positions on the three floors below, and I was gone.
"He can control plants. Call the palace mage team to catch him." The female general ordered. After saying that, she jumped down the hole first. "Ah!" The female general felt that she was entangled in something as soon as she landed.
I appeared next to her with a smile. "Caught!"
"You...!" She struggled desperately. It turned out to be of no use at all. The creatures here are much less powerful than the creatures on earth, and it is even more difficult to get entangled in rose vines.
"Don't bother. You can't get rid of this thing. Let's do this! You tell me where the king is, and I will let you go." I looked at her with a smile, waiting for her answer.
"You're dreaming." The woman stared at me and said, "I won't tell you even if I die."
My smile disappeared instantly. "Then you go to hell." Eight vines separated from the main vine, and then twisted into two pointed cones in groups of four. I waved my hand forward, and two sharp rattans immediately whizzed and pierced her, and the target was her two big eyes. brush. The cane stopped a meter away from her eyes.
The female general's body was shaking like leaves in the autumn wind, her breathing was rapid, and I could hear her heartbeat. She closed her eyes and frowned for a few seconds, but there was no pain as expected. She opened her eyes in confusion. As a result, as soon as the position of the cane was determined, the two pointed awls were immediately inserted into her eyes. "Ah...!" She screamed in fright and closed her eyes again. However, there was no pain in her eyes. The sharp cone did not actually penetrate her eyes, but stopped a few centimeters in front of her eyes.
"Oh my! Why is the guard lady so timid? Wasn't she so brave when she rejected me just now?"
"You, you, you...you devil!"
"Choke? How do you know that I am a demon? But your courage has nothing to do with my race, right? Come on, open your eyes and look at those two pointed cones. Do you know? Someone told me before. When the eyes You can still see when you are blown up, and the things you see at that moment will be very clear. I really want to know if that is true, so please help me experiment. Come on, look at the cone? Tell me When they enter your beautiful eyes, can you see your own blood splashing out?"
"No... you are the devil, you are the devil... no...!" The female general was soon made hysterical by me. Destroying a person's will does not necessarily require physical torture, especially for those who have been trained. They are insensitive to pain and have little effect on physical harm. It is better to directly impact the mental effect.
"Are you willing to cooperate now?" I asked her with a smile.
"I...I will not cooperate with you, a devil."
I pretended to be disappointed and shook my head. "That's so unfortunate! Miss lovely, take another look at this world! This is the last time you see them."
"No...!" She finally couldn't help shouting as the double cones thrust into her eyes. The sharp awl stopped at the critical moment, and two awls were already pressed against her eyes. Eyes are very sensitive places, and the slightest contact made her shed tears endlessly. I climbed up on the rose vine's tentacles and flicked the pointed cone with my finger. Even though it is made of wood. But it is still flexible after all, and it will move when I flick it. The female general let out a scream, and her whole body shrank together in pain. But this is an impossible action at all, because she is now tightly controlled by the rose vine.
"Oops. Sorry, I didn't know this thing wasn't strong." I smiled evilly, and then put my other hand on the awl. The meaning was obvious: I'll play if you don't cooperate. "Now can you tell me where the king is?"
The female general nodded helplessly and pointed in a direction. "Over there, the king is currently having a meeting in the Assembly Hall."
"Very good." I smiled and snapped my fingers, and Rose Vine immediately let go of her.
The female general fell to the ground and was still gasping for air. The stimulation just now was not ordinary. The brain simulates the feeling of pain before being stabbed in the eye. This feeling is actually scarier than being actually stabbed. Seeing her panting on the ground, I ignored her and directly ordered the rose vine to dig in the direction of the king. When the female general saw that we were leaving, she wanted to chase after us, but the cave collapsed automatically after we passed by and blocked the road. She had no choice but to climb back to the ground. The female general who came out of the cave immediately gathered her men and rushed to the king's location to protect him.
The king was discussing things with his ministers when suddenly a large group of guards rushed in, picked him up and ran out. The king was so frightened that he thought the guards had rebelled! After asking a few questions, I found out that someone was planning to assassinate me. Guards were protecting him as he moved. The king has no control over etiquette when it comes to important matters related to life. He was held up by the soldiers and ran away without any complaints.
After the female general confirmed that the king had been moved to a safe place, she immediately led the soldiers who arrived later and filled the hall full of people. Everyone lowered their heads and paid attention to what was going on under the ground. A large number of court mages then arrived, and countless detection magics were used, eager to know where I would come from.
The entire council hall was frozen in this atmosphere for more than an hour, and a frail mage was the first to be unable to bear it any longer. He put down his staff, which had long been unable to be lifted, and turned to ask the female general. "Your Excellency, Chief of the Interior Guard? Are you sure that the assassin is coming this way? How fast is his digging speed? According to your previous description, it should have been dug in more than an hour. Why haven't you seen anyone yet?"
After being asked this question, everyone else stopped. Assassins have always been a profession that values speed. How could the defense personnel have been gathering for more than an hour and they haven't arrived yet? Have you made it clear that you were fooled? The female general felt that her neck was burning under everyone's gaze. Although she knew she had been fooled, the eyes of others were now full of contempt.
"The alarm has been lifted temporarily. Maybe the other party has temporarily changed their mind. Leave two teams to continue to defend, and the others will return to their posts temporarily."
It is not a serious crime to send out false alarms in the palace, especially when the person issuing the alarm is the commander of the highest bodyguard. But once the alarm involves the king himself, things will be difficult to handle. The king was just discussing important matters with his ministers, but unexpectedly he was picked up by soldiers and ran away. If he was trying to escape for his life, but it was a false alarm, of course he would be very angry. The king was angry and things were bad. The female general quickly got a letter of appointment. She was transferred to the inner courtyard of the palace and became a guard female soldier in the cold palace!
I won't know about this right away, because I am wandering in this city at this time. It's really easy to muddle through here. There is almost no difference between this place and the earth city. Except for the silver cross stars in the eyes, the people here even look like Asians in the color of their skin and hair. They speak Chinese and wear similar clothes to the NPCs over there. Some of them are warriors wearing ordinary armor. The only difference between me and them is that there are no silver crosses in my eyes, and the armor is a little more gorgeous.
I got a lot of information just by wandering around the streets. First of all, the previously confirmed name of the country Rodnia is correct. What's more, the currency here is actually the same as over there, using copper plates to crystal coins. Even the prices are basically the same. In terms of folklore, what I learned is that there is a mythological system here that is completely similar to that on Earth, and even the descriptions of some gods are probably the same as those on Earth. The only difference is that there is no description of the undead. Instead, there is something called the dead. According to my judgment, the dead here probably refer to undead creatures.
After determining the general information such as culture and social structure, it will not be easy for me to reveal my identity. The next step is to investigate the political situation. This planet seems to be divided into countries, and there are quite a few of them. The country we are in now, Rodnia, should be a relatively large country, and it is one of the top powers. The king is a very powerful person. Judging from the people's reaction, it seems that he is still diligent and caring for the people.
After investigating for a long time, I got all the information, but there was one thing that confused me, that is, no matter how I investigated, there was no news about shadow creatures. It is certain that this planet is a shadow planet, because here you can see the earth passing overhead, and there are only shadow planets and red planets near the earth. Since this planet is not a red planet, it must be a shadow planet. But what we saw there was that a large number of shadow creatures left the shadow planet and entered the earth. But the problem is that there was no news about them at all after arriving here. When I inquire about this in hotels and other places, most people will think that I am talking about some kind of terrible undead creatures, but I know that those things that come to the earth are not undead. There must be something in between, but I just can't find the problem.
