Chapter 237: The Gate to the Shadow World
The captain of the dark elves found the tavern owner, who didn't know what had happened. ss
"You should be able to explain why the things are missing." The captain stared at the tavern owner with cold eyes.
They had a cooperative relationship with the tavern owner, and they were not of the same kind, so they naturally didn't have a good face for this fat human.
The tavern owner's face was not very good either. He explained: "I checked carefully. The door of the tavern's basement and the door of the secret room were not damaged. The person who stole the skeleton either had no entity or took the key without my noticing."
He took out the key, which looked intact.
He continued: "The person who took the skeleton may still be nearby."
He knew that it was useless to say anything now. The most important thing was to find the things quickly. If the things could not be found, he would be finished.
His cooperation with the dark elves was not as simple as ordinary cooperation. If something went wrong, it would be fatal.
"We will naturally find the things back. If you can't provide any useful information, you can wait to be punished!" The dark elf said and turned away, leaving only the tavern owner with a livid face.
…
On the other side, Su Lun found that the dark elves began to investigate everywhere in the name of trading, and the target of the investigation was the bloodline inheritor.
Only the bloodline inheritor could take things quietly, and ordinary thieves would not target the things of the dark elves.
Su Lun also planned to leave. He had already got the things. If the opportunity was right, he could catch a lone dark elf to get some useful information, but now the dark elves were on guard, and it was difficult for him to catch a dark elf.
He packed up his things and prepared to return to the ice field. The dark elves here might go to the ice field to meet with the dark elves on the ice field, and it would be safer to take action at that time.
Su Lun walked out of the village. The dark elves were still investigating in the village and had not found him yet.
Su Lun left the village from the path. When he was leaving, a figure suddenly flashed in front of him. It was a hunched voice, and it looked like a very old man.
He frowned slightly, and the other party slowly approached. He found that this person was the witch in the village.
The witch was wearing a variety of furs, with feathers of some birds on his head and a cane made of bones in his hand.
Su Lun narrowed his eyes slightly, but he did not stop and continued to walk forward along his original route.
The witch did not stop him until they passed each other, and then the witch suddenly said, "You took their things."
He looked at Su Lun, his black eyes were very calm, and no emotion could be seen.
Su Lun stopped when he heard that. He did not expect that he would be exposed.
But now it is normal to think about it. There are only two bloodline inheritors in this village, the witch and him. If there is a problem, they will naturally suspect them at the first time.
The witch continued, "The group of dark elves are plotting a conspiracy. There will be a price to pay for underestimating them."
His voice was very hoarse, and he continued to walk forward after he finished speaking without saying much to Su Lun.
Su Lun glanced at the witch, and he sped up his departure.
The witch must know something, after all, he has always lived in this village.
Su Lun left quickly and soon returned to the ice field.
The ice field was full of blood. At this time, a blizzard appeared in the sky of the ice field. The strong wind was mixed with a lot of flying snow, making it difficult for people to continue to move forward to the center of the ice field.
At this time, Su Lun saw several black shadows approaching from behind. If he guessed correctly, those black shadows were the dark elves before.
"The current blizzard will not only stop me, but also stop them. They may not know the ice field as well as I do."
Su Lun thought in his heart. He was not too anxious. He couldn't lose his composure now. There were five dark elves behind him. If he was caught up by those five dark elves, he would basically not be able to escape.
I saw that his body shape was gradually changing, and suddenly he turned into the form of a frost giant wolf. This was the form produced after the blood of the magic wolf and the frost giant was fused together. It can adapt to the ice field environment to a great extent and also has a faster speed.
He continued to move towards the center of the ice field despite the obstruction of the wind and snow.
...
"The thing must be in the hands of the human in front." One of the dark elves pointed to Su Lun in the distance and said.
Su Lun moved forward very quickly, even in the wind and snow.
Now the dark elves stopped because the snowstorm blocked their way. If the snowstorm didn't stop, they would need to spend a lot of energy to move forward.
The captain of the dark elves sneered and said, "No matter who he is, he shouldn't go to the center of the ice field."
He said to the dark elves next to him, "Immediately notify those in the center of the ice field that they are falling into a trap."
They have a special way of contact with the dark elves in the center of the ice field. In his expectation, now is a good opportunity to attack Su Lun from both sides.
They slowed down the pursuit of the tree stump and instead
...
On the other side, Su Lun tried his best to move forward to the tribe of the frost giants. For safety, he also called the magic wolf clone to help.
"Those dark elves didn't catch up." Su Lun looked back, and the dark elves behind him had long disappeared.
He felt something was not right. Those bones with the power of the shadow world must be very important to those dark elves, and they should not give up so easily.
Just when he was wondering, he suddenly received a message from the demon wolf clone. The demon wolf clone discovered the dark elf team on the way.
"It's those dark elves in the center of the ice field." Su Lun quickly guessed the other party's plan.
He is now in the middle between the center of the ice field and the periphery of the ice field. If the dark elves in the center of the ice field also come out to hunt him, he will be surrounded from front to back.
If this had not been discovered, he might have fallen into a trap, but now that he had been discovered, there was no point in trying to surround him.
Su Lun also controlled the demon wolf clone to follow another group of dark elves, while he took a panicked route. Unless the dark elves sent everyone out to search, it would be difficult to find him in this snowy field.
After a long time, Su Lun braved the wind and snow to return to the giant's Ice Fang tribe. He did not encounter any dark elves along the way.
On the other side, the two teams of dark elves will finally be together.
Stowe is one of them. Although they meet, this is not good news.
"That human must still be in this ice field. When we catch him, we will directly take him as a sacrifice." One of the dark elves said viciously.
Although he said some harsh words, they did not help the current situation.
Stowe sneered and said immediately: "Separate to look for it immediately. If it doesn't work, our plan can only be carried out in advance. Once the plan is spread, we will all die here."
Their faces were solemn, this was a major event concerning their entire clan.
The group of dark elves immediately dispersed, with only Stowe and his men still standing.
"Sir, what should we do now?" One of the dark elves lowered his head and asked.
Stowe pondered for a while and looked around. The blizzard showed no sign of stopping.
He said: "We will go back and prepare immediately. The plan must be advanced."
Judging from the current situation, he didn't think he could catch the person who stole the bones. Even if he could, it would be too late. The news must have been leaked.
The dark elves and ordinary humans can still communicate normally, but if the news here reaches the ears of the bloodline inheritors of outside races, it is likely that adventurers will take the initiative to eliminate them.
Stowe quickly returned to the castle on the ice with his men.
What they didn't notice was that a larger demon wolf was staring at them not far away.
…
Selun stayed in the ice giant tribe, and he watched everything the dark elves did through the perspective of the magic wolf.
He didn't know what these dark elves were going to do, but it must be related to the bones he took away.
Su Lun walked to a deserted place and took out the bones with the power of the shadow world.
These skeletons are diverse and have many scars on them. They look like skeletons left after a fierce fight.
He couldn't tell what kind of creature the owners of these bones were, but they were definitely not humans.
The bones are constantly emitting powerful shadow power. These shadow powers are like a kind of pollution. They will stick to whatever they come into contact with and cause great damage.
If he does not have the bloodline of the Shadow Realm, he may be in danger if he comes into direct contact with these Shadow Realm powers.
Although Su Lun didn't know the exact purpose of these bones, he knew that these bones should be related to the Gate of Shadow Realm.
"If the dark elves want to open the door to the Shadow Realm, they must have some special purpose."
Su Lun thought in his mind that he had read some information about the dark elves. Although the dark elves also have the blood of the shadow world and have a certain relationship with the shadow world, the dark elves are not shadow world creatures after all. If they forcefully go to the shadow world or Summoning shadow creatures would be too much for many dark elves.
But he did not rule out that the dark elves had ways to offset the harm caused by the Shadow Gate.
Su Lun put the bones away again. There was no way for these things to be put to use in his hands for the time being. He could only wait until he found a way to use them later.
Just as Su Lun was thinking about what to do, Su Lun suddenly felt a cold wind blowing around him.
The cold wind only blew a snowflake and then disappeared.
Su Lun glanced around. There were icebergs all around. Even if there was a blizzard outside, it would be difficult to blow in.
He frowned and looked around, and finally his eyes rested on the dragon egg.
He placed the dragon egg in a very secret place, surrounded by ice and snow.
But now, when I look at it, the ice and snow around the dragon egg has some blue light. Although it is very weak, there is indeed a kind of light covering it.
Su Lun felt a little strange. He went over to push aside the ice and snow and took out the dragon egg inside.
"Is this about to hatch?"
Su Lun was immediately shocked because there were some signs of cracking on the outside of the dragon egg, and there was still a beating heart inside.
If the dragon egg is about to hatch, how to control the newly born ice dragon is also a problem.
Just as he was thinking, a black light suddenly appeared in the distant sky that went straight into the sky, and countless souls continued to pour out of it.
Su Lun was immediately attracted by the distant scene.
"It's the door to the shadow world. Those dark elves actually opened the door to the shadow world so quickly."
Su Lun was a little surprised. He originally thought that after the bones with the power of the shadow world were taken away, the plans of these dark elves would be delayed. Unexpectedly, the other party did not need what he had.
The black light pillar was gradually expanding, and a large number of souls ran out of it.
The Shadow Realm is a place that accommodates countless soul bodies. In addition to a large number of soul bodies, there are also many powerful creatures that feed on soul bodies, such as the Shadow Realm Demon Wolf.
Su Lun has seen the Shadow Realm Gate before, but the last time he encountered it was a relatively weak projection-type Shadow Realm Gate. That kind of Shadow Realm Gate can only project shadow realm creatures into reality. Only those who stand in the shadow realm can Only the middle of the Realm Gate will be affected.
But this time it's different. The souls running out of the Shadow Realm Gate can find that this Shadow Realm Gate can definitely pass through the Shadow Realm creatures.
Just as Su Lun was guessing this, the Shadow Realm Gate was completely formed.
A shadow creature is descending into the world through the Shadow Gate.
In the Shadow Realm, even the weakest Shadow Realm worm is stronger than most people in reality. No matter what creatures come out through the Shadow Realm Gate this time, Su Lun is no match for these creatures.
Su Lun no longer pays attention to the Shadow Realm Gate, and he has no way to forcefully close the Shadow Realm Gate now.
At this time, the Frost Giants outside also became a little anxious. Many Frost Giants began to go to the Gate of Shadows to investigate. Although they were not smart, they definitely had no shortage of attempts. They would pay attention to anything that would threaten their lives.
Su Lun did not intervene. He picked up the dragon egg and thought about how to deal with the ice dragon among the dragons.
Creatures like giant dragons have been extremely powerful since they started to breed. He has never seen the situation of giant dragons in this world, but according to records, the strength of giant dragons is definitely not weaker than the creatures of the shadow world, even the newly born baby dragons.
The young dragon grows very fast. Although Su Lun is the one who hatches the dragon eggs, the young dragon will not identify with the foreign race unless he conquers the young dragon with strength, but for him, his strength cannot restrain the giant dragon.
"To control this ice dragon, you can only have a chance when the young dragon breaks out of its shell."
Su Lun thought in his mind, he narrowed his eyes and began to mobilize the soul power in his body.
The young dragon also has a soul. Compared with the body, the dragon's soul is not as strong as the body, so he has the opportunity to use the ability of soul control to control the young dragon.
He also has another idea, which is to cultivate this ice dragon as his second clone, so that he can use the ice dragon's abilities at will without worrying about the ice dragon being solved.
Using clone control is much safer than using soul power to control.
