Hidden Corners

Explore, discover, research, learn, replicate, improve.

This is the true meaning of academics and the cycle of strengthening yourself.

Li Chengyi carried the owl back to his testing site outside the Black Fort.

The diamond-shaped structure is still there, and no one dares to interfere.

Carrying the owl into the only stone house, he quickly moved it up and down and checked it, making sure that except for its toes, it was no different from other owls.

Then I used a knife to slowly dissect up the toes to see why there were so many extra toes.

More than ten minutes later, after determining the biological structure resulting from the abnormal development, he left an anatomical diagram, and then divided its flesh, bones, internal organs, and hair into many parts.

Then use various cooking techniques, divide them into many methods, and taste them one by one.

Feeling is the first step in cognition, feeling the changes in smell, texture, texture, temperature, and changes in different environments.

These are the places he needs to explore.

After more than an hour of tossing, finally, a complete owl completely disappeared and turned into a pile of scattered flesh and blood.

Li Chengyi slowly devoured the owl's flesh, blood and broken bones, wrapped them up, took them into the sword furnace bit by bit, and burned them for analysis.

A lot of information came back to his mind, and he had a more detailed understanding of this type of multi-toed owl.

'An unnatural creature.'

Li Chengyi frowned slightly. During this research process, he found many inconsistencies. These unnatural places made the owl appear a little uncoordinated.

For example, its flight speed is not as fast as that of normal owls, its life span is shorter than that of normal owls, etc.

‘Is it possible that this is the mage’s method of cultivating familiars? ’

He guessed in his mind.

Barbarians and elves also appeared together, and there were more and more things he needed to understand and learn.

"I need a stable environment and a database with enough information to understand everything about the outside world. Originally, the Mage White Tower had a chance to provide it to me, but now this hope is impossible."

Li Chengyi murmured in a low voice.

He rarely said what was in his heart like this. When he was talking to himself, he wanted to convince himself to make up his mind.

After walking out of the stone house, he came to the mysterious diamond-shaped structure again.

The secrets involved fascinated him. If he could understand why the self-generated current was generated, it might be of great help to him in understanding the essential rules of the world.

‘The Master does not accept me. But I need the accumulated knowledge of the mages. Their suspected creations have found me again.’

Li Chengyi's thinking became coherent.

‘So.I need to take action. ’

He needs to specifically assess the full strength of the White Tower Mage to determine the impact on him.

And how to evaluate, the simplest way is.

laugh!

In an instant, Li Chengyi turned around and rushed to the wall on the right. He jumped up, lightly crossed the wall, and landed on the snow outside.

Before the guarding soldiers could react, the others had disappeared into the snowy forest.

Combining the terrifying speed with the movement skills that Xu Yexing practiced, his movement speed at this time was comparable to that of a phantom in the dense forest, disappearing in just a flash.

There are also detailed maps of the vicinity in numerous volumes. These details made him feel like a fish in water at this time, and he could easily overcome various obstacles around him.

Although the Dark Dragon God's bloodline influenced by Flower Language cannot unleash all his talents, it can still make him more adaptable in the dark, faster and more secretive.

In the snow-white forest, there was only a blurry gray shadow flashing away at this time. Even the most keen snow rabbit could only feel a little breeze passing by, and could not capture his movement trajectory at all.

More than ten minutes later.

Li Chengyi left the Oklahoma Territory and came to the forest where he had hunted griffins.

He began to slow down, as if walking in the forest, and leisurely rushed towards the last location.

At the same time, he was also observing the surroundings, looking for animals and plants that he had not discovered before.

The natural environment is also the target of his exploration and learning. He has also conducted detailed surveys of the surroundings for a large amount of time before.

He just didn't notice it before, but this time he went to capture the mage. On the way, he vaguely discovered something was wrong.

In the forest, there is a special, fresh smell of living things, mixed in the cold air.

The smell of snow is very light, so this smell seems more abrupt.

puff.

Suddenly Li Chengyi paused and turned to look to the right not far away.

There seems to be a hint of unusual fragrance behind a big cedar there.

"Let me see what I found?"

He grinned.

laugh!

In an instant, the figure disappeared from the spot. He was extremely fast, spanning dozens of meters in one go, and appeared behind the big cedar in the blink of an eye, reaching out to grab it.

At the same time, a sharp silver dagger shot out from behind Xuesong and stabbed his outstretched palm.

At the critical moment, the side of Li Chengyi's palm slid past the side of the dagger accurately and lightly, pinched the opponent's wrist, and flicked it down.

Bang!

The figure behind the tree suddenly stumbled to the ground and let out a low cry.

But soon, the man jumped up and kicked Li Chengyi hard on the chin with his long and strong right leg with a sharp sound.

It's a pity that this leg, although its strength and speed exceeded the limit of human beings, was just a slap in front of Li Chengyi.

There was a crisp sound, and the man's right leg was broken into a weird posture.

She fell to the ground on her side and wanted to scream, but a big hand easily pinched her neck and silenced her.

"Ah, look what I found?" Li Chengyi looked at the prey in his hand in surprise.

"A living elf!?"

He looked at this beautiful, slender, pointed-eared creature with anger and hatred in his beautiful eyes, and a rare happy smile appeared on his face.

"I just got the news that there might be an elf in sight, and I caught one right away. Sure enough, fate always favors those who are prepared."

Pariya stared at the young human in front of her with anger and shock. She was the captain of the Lanluo tribe's hunting team and one of the four most powerful warriors in the entire tribe.

I originally received a report from the scouts that there was something unusual here, so I came to investigate in person, but I didn't expect it.

Precisely because this place is close to the gathering place of humans, she took the initiative to come here because of her strength.

However, after only a few hours of investigation, a human who looked so young was sneak-attacked and defeated!

The opponent's power was indeed great, but if she hadn't been suddenly attacked and was not prepared enough to react, how could she have been defeated in a single encounter?

"Despicable human!" Pariya yelled angrily.

"The wail of the weak." Li Chengyi replied with a smile. "I am very interested in everything about elves, so I will keep you alive for the time being."

"It's just to satisfy your perverted human desires. Are you so hypocritical?" Pariya mocked without fear.

"I heard that you have a profound research and understanding of nature. I am also a nature lover. I hope to learn more relevant knowledge from you." Li Chengyi still smiled.

"But..." He raised his head and glanced at the sky, "You wait here for now, I will come back and take you with me in a while. Well, there are a few friends who are going back together."

friend?

Parya felt awe-struck in her heart. It seemed that this human had an accomplice, or in other words, he probably had other people ambushing the nearby elves!

This is probably a trap for elves!

A chill instantly rose in her heart. The news about the previous scout might have been false news deliberately released by this cunning human.

Just to lure out these lurking elves!

laugh!

Before she could reply, Li Chengyi in front of her turned into a shadow again and disappeared from the place.

This speed was so fast that even the elf Pariya, who was famous for her speed and agility, felt her scalp numb after seeing it.

Just now, she actually couldn't keep up with the opponent's movement speed at all! !

What a speed! What agility! ?

Human beings, when did they become so powerful! ?

She suddenly became extremely worried about the Lanluo tribe living nearby.

'no! I have to find a way to escape! We have to go back and inform all the clan members! Otherwise, if you were stared at by that person just now, the consequences would be disastrous!

Pariya immediately endured the severe pain, dragged a broken leg, and left with difficulty in the other direction.

But not more than ten meters away.

Bang.

The sound of flesh falling to the ground came from the position she had just left.

A young woman wearing a gray mage's robe was dragged by her hair with one hand by the strong young man just now, and was thrown to the snow.

The female mage's mouth was still bleeding, her whole body was twitching like a madman, and she looked like she was about to die.

"Human mage!?" Pariya's expression froze.

‘Isn’t this man here specifically to capture elves? how? ’

Before she could recover, Li Chengyi grabbed two gray-white robe mages from the side and threw them to the ground.

A total of three human mages were looking at Li Chengyi as if they were looking at devils.

They didn't even notice the injured elf Pariya not far away.

"Today's harvest is good. Last time, the attack was a bit harsh and no one was interrogated alive, but this time it is different."

Li Chengyi looked at the loot this time with great satisfaction.

One elf and three human mages came to test. Although they were all lower-level mages than Teague last time, all he needed was low-level entry-level knowledge.

"We are traceability mages from the White Tower who came to investigate the traces! Strangers! Do you know the possible consequences of taking action against us!?"

Among the three mages, the oldest, a gray-haired old man said angrily.

"I heard that the profession of mage can have a subtle deviating effect on people's personality? Mainly because of changes in environment, life, and changes in contact with things, people are affected by feedback, which leads to the final result?"

Li Chengyi answered the question incorrectly.

"We are the messengers of the White Tower! We are the servants of the Master of the White Tower. Do you know what you are doing!? This is a crime! It is an unforgivable and heinous crime!!" Another man with dark red curly hair murmured loudly.

Bang bang bang!

Li Chengyi knocked the three of them unconscious with one hand and then came to Pariya's side.

Pariya suddenly broke out in cold sweat.

She was coming to her senses now.

This guy, this human man with a good-looking face and a tall and strong body, doesn't seem to be targeting elves at all.

He is simply a vicious criminal!

He is hunting.

Hunt interesting prey that interests you, whether it is a human or an elf.

She knew about the White Tower, which was the most powerful mage organization in the Sola Empire. They had heard about the power of the White Tower mages even when they were in the dense forest.

But after the man in front of him heard this, he didn't blink and immediately attacked.

Bang.

Pariya's mind was in chaos. Before she could figure out what to do, she felt a sudden pain in the back of her head and lost consciousness instantly.
