Hidden Corners

The endless black sea washes around you.

Li Chengyi seemed like a fish swimming in black water, his whole body shrouded in a beam of white light, quickly passing through layers of black water, rushing towards a huge colorful vortex in the distance.

Unlike last time, this time after he opened the non-door, he could already sense the surrounding situation.

The Black Sea is still pitch black and cannot be sensed, but he can sense the many blind spots and mysterious things floating in it.

The beam channel in the black sea is like a white silk thread, rushing straight towards Midran silently.

Whoosh!

In the blink of an eye, others have disappeared into the vortex.

In the black sea in the distance, a vague and huge shadow with countless wings on its back is gradually becoming clearer.

And the moment Li Chengyi submerged into the vortex, the clarity of this huge shadow seemed to be covered with another layer of fog, and it became even blurr in an instant.

Ga.

The harsh and unpleasant crow call woke Li Chengyi up from his drowsiness.

The cold rain hit his face, slid down the skin of his cheeks, and fell into the wet black soil below.

In the middle of the huge black earth, he lay quietly in a large pit. His heavy armor was silently decomposing, turning into black particles and slowly floating away.

Not only that, everything he carried on his body was decomposed at this moment and turned into black particles.

Not even a shred of the covering clothing or life garment was left behind. All that was left was the small door for returning, which was forced into the flesh of the arm halfway.

"Well" Li Chengyi slowly got up from the ground. There was no trace of hair on his body, only a trace of strange gray air lingering around him.

That's dead energy.

look around.

In the distant sky, a bloody sun was gradually sinking, dyeing all the clouds blood red.

The earth was pitch black, there was no grass, just black soil like a mixture of mud and ink.

Looking to the left and right, you can see the plain beyond.

Several dark, twisted dead trees stood dozens of meters away.

There were several crows with black feathers and red eyes standing on the tree branches.

hiss.

Li Chengyi took a deep breath and faintly smelled the smell of blood in the wind.

‘This is Midran? ’

With a thought in his mind, he tried to put on the flower scale clothes.

But the strange thing is that countless purple petals appeared quickly, and then quickly and feebly dispersed.

There is no way to gather any flower scale clothes.

‘What’s going on in this place! ? ’

Li Chengyi was startled and raised his hand to release the radiant force field.

Fortunately, Flower Language can still be used, but the intensity and scope are much smaller.

‘No, it’s not right. ’ He suddenly reacted.

Quickly changed to another language.

Jie Mao Fei Lian flower language, shadow dragon bloodline, dragon transformation!

In an instant, a large amount of black energy emerged from his body. The black energy was mixed with death energy and quickly enveloped him, as if to completely submerge him.

The dragon scales grew rapidly, and its size quickly expanded.

In the blink of an eye, Li Chengyi transformed from an ordinary person into a three-meter-tall humanoid shadow dragon.

Wings, dragon tail, horns, blood eyes, except that the body is smaller and human-shaped, he has all the characteristics of a shadow dragon.

‘This place has no effect on the power of Death Energy and Shadow Dragon, but on the contrary, it greatly suppresses everything else’

Li Chengyi understood instantly.

But soon, he released his dragon transformation and returned to his normal body.

He lowered his head and glanced at the engraving on his chest. There was no influence there, and there was still a steady stream of power flowing out.

This mark seems to be located on the chest. In fact, even if the entire body is dug up and this part of the flesh is dug out, the power of the mark cannot be removed.

This is a sublimation integrated into existence itself. The mark on the chest is just a symbol, nothing more.

The giant seal was still there, and Li Chengyi felt relieved.

Returning to his naked state, he began to find a random direction and started running quickly.

The bloody sunset shone on him, still giving him a touch of warmth.

This is unmatched by any other blind spot.

Obviously, this Midran's blind spot is likely to be a very large blind spot just like the reality he lives in.

The cycle period of this type of dead zone may even reach more than ten thousand years.

Puff puff.

Running wildly along the black soil plain, Li Chengyi's feet kept leaving footprints on the ground.

But soon, his footprints were restored to their original shape by the soft black soil.

It's getting later and darker.

Red-eyed crows flew across the sky, screaming in panic.

It seems that they are also afraid of the coming of night.

Light rain fell on Li Chengyi's body, giving him a free bath.

He didn't run at full speed, he just ran at a speed of 100 meters per second while observing the surrounding situation.

With Li Chengyi's explosive speed at this time, he could reach two to three times the speed of sound at the fastest.

If you only look at the explosive speed in a straight line and don't control the turns, under the imprint of huge force, he can even reach four times the speed of sound in an instant.

Speed ​​will increase significantly as strength increases.

The strength has increased, and with the explosive reaction force, the straight-line sprint speed will naturally increase significantly.

I ran like this for more than ten minutes.

All the timing devices on Li Chengyi's body disintegrated and disappeared, and he could only make an approximate estimate.

Finally, before it got completely dark, some traces of people slowly appeared on the black soil plain ahead.

It was a winding loess driveway, lying quietly between the wide black soil.

The loess driveway has no edges visible from left to right, and is about three meters wide.

On both sides of the driveway, there were some rotten wooden wheels scattered around, as well as a smashed carriage carriage.

and several bodies lying on the ground.

Li Chengyi frowned and walked closer.

The carriage fell to the ground. The gray-brown fur cushions inside were wet from the rain and were half exposed. They were already covered with blue-gray mildew spots.

Incomprehensible words were used on the side of the carriage, and a white stag formed a circular pattern like a family emblem.

And look at the clothes of the corpses lying on the ground.

Five bodies, three men and two women.

Men wear mainly gray and black high-collared long clothes, which are loose and have ropes tied around their hands and feet.

The material is thick cotton cloth, inlaid with some hard black animal fur.

Women wear long black and gray skirts with a waistline and a very high waistline. The belt is a cloth belt that is tied up to the chest.

Overall, it is similar to the traditional Korean clothing from previous lives.

For hair accessories, long hair is tied up into a bun, leaving a wide forehead.

Moreover, both women wore black veils with white lace.

He bent down to a male corpse and kicked it.

There was actually blood slowly flowing out of the other party's body from his mouth and nose.

This is a very young-looking man, probably only in his twenties, and the youngest among everyone present.

He also held a finely crafted black iron sword in his hand.

The guard on the hilt of the sword is made into the shape of an antler, which is somewhat decorative.

Looking at the opponent's appearance, Li Chengyi knelt down, stretched out his hand, and the radiant force field poured into the opponent's body with difficulty.

"Ahem."

The young man actually coughed and suddenly came to life.

He just faked his death.

Li Chengyi also used the radiant force field because he judged this.

Sure enough, he saved the other party.

"*****!"

But the young man struggled to raise his head and said a few words. After a few words, he hit the ground again. There was more and more blood in his mouth, and there was no movement again.

No wounds were seen on his body, and it was not known what fatal injuries he died from.

Seeing the young man fall down again, Li Chengyi breathed out, his eyes faintly glowing with golden vertical pupils.

The bloodline belonging to the shadow dragon was flowing rapidly in his body.

Soon, another innate ability besides Shadow Flash slowly emerged at this time.

'Shadow Replacement: It can melt itself into a shadow and merge with the target's shadow, thus completely replacing the target, swallowing the target, and becoming the target. ’

"It seems that this place is very suitable for Death Energy and Shadow Dragon to survive." Li Chengyi looked at the young man who was beginning to lose vitality again.

There was no hesitation immediately, and a golden light flashed in his eyes.

Whoosh!

In an instant, his whole body melted like a candle, and he pounced on the young man, like a piece of liquid, blending into the shadows beneath him.

It is the safest way to hide yourself first and understand and test the surrounding environment through an aborigine.

After integrating into it.

The young man's body shook rapidly, his eyes suddenly opened, and a stream of black air came out of his mouth and nose, dissipating in the air.

He slowly got up and moved his body.

‘The fatal wound is in the heart. The heart is broken, but there are no wounds on the outside. This is interesting. ’

He got used to this body.

Shadow Dragon's shadow substitution ability was actually much stronger than he imagined.

Not only did he obtain this body, he also obtained a lot of physical memories, language, and even a little residual emotion from the body's remaining brain cells.

Even though he didn't have many memories due to physical injuries, they were all fragmentary, but it still gave him great convenience.

After adapting to his body, Li Chengyi used the radiant force field to forcefully treat him for a while.

Then he went to other places and checked on the rest of the people.

Soon, there was another middle-aged man, coughing and slowly waking up.

That's all

The rest are already dead set.

After helping the middle-aged man sit up and leaning on the carriage, Li Chengyi stood up straight and sorted out the fragmented memories in his mind.

'The business, transporting goods, picking up people, was attacked.'

The young man he was shadowing was named Wang Yichen, the third son of Wang Yifeng, the headman of Xinmeng Town.

Xinmeng Town is an ordinary town in the Black Wind Plains, belonging to the Shaoyin Kingdom.

Only when the population reaches 1,000 households can it be designated as a town.

Xinmeng Town barely meets the standard.

Li Chengyi rubbed his temples, the memories in his mind were intermittently fragmented.

The most common ones are the images and sounds of the final killing.

The person who killed them was a crazy old woman in red clothes who was wearing tatters. She didn't say anything when she saw them. She just slapped each of them.

His movements were extremely fast, like a phantom, and he knocked five people to the ground in an instant.

"Ah Chen! Ah Chen!" Just as he was trying to learn more about the general situation here.

The middle-aged man who was rescued suddenly screamed.

What they spoke was in the Shaoyin dialect, but with the shadow substitute, Li Chengyi could understand it at this time.

This middle-aged man's name is Chen Zhong, and he is the policeman who came to pick him up this time.

"Go back to town quickly, once it gets dark, we will definitely die!"

Chen Zhong climbed up with difficulty. Without looking at the other corpses around him, he staggered up Li Chengyi and ran forward along the loess driveway.

After running a few steps, he put a pair of hands in his mouth and blew heavily.

A sharp whistle sounded from his mouth.
