Chapter 739 Unexpected
[Octopus Assassins] are the weirdest monsters in the Shadow of Evil.
They can compress themselves to the size of a fly and cling to rocks and walls. Once an enemy passes by, they will instantly expand to the size of a rhino and stretch out their indestructible claws to hug the enemy tightly.
On their chests and abdomens, there are densely packed soft tentacles, which are covered with paralysis stingers.
Once a creature is pierced by the paralysis stinger, it will feel the pain that goes straight into the soul while being unable to move, and gradually suffocate, and finally die in great pain.
For the Shadow of Evil, [Octopus Assassins] are the most trustworthy guards.
They are everywhere, extremely dangerous, and loyally guard the castle.
But now, each [Octopus Assassins] has fallen into a downtime state.
"What's up with that cage? Why is it spinning 360 degrees while flying?"
"What an arrogant cage. I want to beat it up, but it's our own cage of the Shadow of Evil. I can't beat my own cage."
Seven Pigeons, in stealth mode, threw the cage back and forth in his hands while dubbing for [Octopus Assassin].
It's not that Seven Pigeons is idle, but that he found that he couldn't get out of the castle at all.
There is a Soul Devouring Chaos Dragon above the castle. The Soul Devouring Chaos Dragon has the ability to ban air and cannot fly.
There are tar mechas on the outer wall of the castle. If you get close, you will be burned to death.
There is the Eye of Moses at the door of the castle. The 30-level stealth can't avoid the opponent's reconnaissance.
All entrances and exits are blocked, and Seven Pigeons can only think of ways while brushing the stealth level.
After Qi Ge's experiment, he found that when brushing stealth experience,
when you are about to be discovered but not discovered, you can brush more experience
than when you are not discovered at all.
So, Seven Pigeons will deliberately be so arrogant.
As long as the cage keeps moving, it can attract the attention of the surrounding Chaos Monsters. They can't see me even if they notice me, but they are suspicious, which can continuously provide me with stealth experience points.
For example, now...
[System prompt: Successfully avoid the reconnaissance of [Octopus Assassin], reconnaissance judgment LV12, gain 10 experience points. ]
...
[System prompt: Successfully avoid the reconnaissance of [Small Shadow Fiend], reconnaissance judgment LV14, gain 20 experience points. ]
[System prompt: Stealth has been upgraded, current stealth LV18]
"Well, the target is found! The weakest small shadow demon among all Chaos soldiers!"
Qi Ge put down the cage near [Small Shadow Fiend], and used obstacles to quietly run behind [Small Shadow Fiend].
He clenched his hands, raised them high, and smashed [Small Shadow Fiend]'s head hard!
"I'll fight~~"
[System prompt: Start assassination LV3.]
[System prompt: Assassination failed! You have been exposed. ]
In an instant, countless eyes scattered around the castle turned to Qi Ge's direction at the same time!
The [Small Shadow Fiend] in front of Qi Ge drew out his shadow knife and chopped it down without saying a word.
"Damn it, I failed again."
Qi Ge turned around, but did not dodge, and took the blow with his shoulder.
[System prompt: 30 points of damage, current remaining health 60! ]
[System prompt: 15 points of resilience experience, current resilience LV25]
Resilience is damage reduction, each level of resilience can reduce 2 points of damage, and being hit will increase resilience.
If it was just a [Small Shadow Fiend], Qi Ge would win by fighting head-on.
But now, the chaos monsters in the entire castle are gathering in the direction of Qi Ge, including the True Chaos Level BOSS such as the Eye of Moses.
It seems that there is no way back.
But Qi Ge was not panicked at all. He rushed to the cage with great agility, opened the cage door, and got in.
"I'm in. I'm a prisoner now. The rules of the martial arts world are that those who surrender will not be killed!
Taishang Laojun ordered urgently, stop!"
Qi Ge gave an order, and all the Chaos monsters stopped, only [Small Shadow Demon] put away the Shadow Knife and slowly approached Qi Ge.
"Hey~ That's right.
I'm a prisoner, a prize for the Dark of Justice to capture the city. I stay in the cage obediently, how can you hurt me?"
Qi Ge sat in the cage calmly, humming a song while healing himself.
Until [Small Shadow Demon] walked in front of him, he waved his hand and said:
"That little shadow, give me a higher-level lock, don't always use level 30, I can't get any experience."
[Small Shadow Demon] touched the cage. [Magic Lock LV30, Current Unlocking Level LV31, Unlocking Success Rate 100%]
Qi Ge: ...
"Xiao Ying, you can't do this. If you can't do this, how can you be the head of the security department in the future? Come on, come in and I'll teach you a lesson."
Qi Ge stretched out his hand, unlocked the lock, opened the cage, and grabbed [Small Shadow Fiend] into the cage.
"Hey, I'm hiding!"
Just as [Small Shadow Fiend] who entered the cage was about to use a knife on Qi Ge, Qi Ge got behind him and kept circling.
When Qi Ge was out of [Small Shadow Fiend]'s sight for 10 seconds, Qi Ge entered stealth mode.
[Small Shadow Fiend] turned around in confusion and didn't see Qi Ge.
But he knew there was an unlocked cage in front of him, so he stretched out his hand and locked the cage.
With a click, [Small Shadow Fiend] locked himself and Qi Ge inside.
"Hehehe... Now, there are only two of us..."
Qi Ge smiled evilly.
[Small Shadow Fiend] has no entity. If it is an ordinary cage, he can pass through the gap directly.
But this is a magic cage, he can't get out, he can only circle around and try again.
Qi Ge went around behind [Small Shadow Fiend] and clasped his hands again!
"Hey! Sneak attack!"
[System prompt: Start assassination LV3.]
[Assassination LV18
Prerequisites: Combat LV20, Stealth LV20
Effect: Only in stealth mode can it be launched, and the target can be killed directly without fighting. ]
[System prompt: Assassination failed! You have been exposed. ]
"A companion was attacked!"
The surrounding Chaos Monsters instantly turned their heads to look at Qi Ge!
"Oh, it's a prisoner, then it's okay."
The Chaos Monster turned his head back again.
[Small Shadow Fiend]: ? ? ?
"I'm being attacked! Fight back, I must fight back!"
[Small Shadow Fiend] took out the Shadow Blade and slashed at Qi Ge fiercely. Qi Ge could dodge, but he didn't. He took the blow head-on and continued to circle around to block the vision.
While blocking the vision, he kept saying:
"Xiao Ying, you can't do this. I told you a few words, why did you attack me?
Do you still want to be evaluated as an advanced player at the end of the year?"
[System prompt: Taunt skill has been upgraded, current LV25]
[Taunt LV25
Effect: Force the enemy to attack you. 】
Qi Ge is happy.
"Hehe. Now the cage is locked, this is an absolute space, no one can enter, no one can leave.
This [Small Shadow Fiend] can't get any help from heaven or earth, and can only be played with by me.
I can brush the levels of five skills, [Toughness], [Battlefield First Aid], [Assassination], [Fighting], [Stealth], and [Taunt] on this [Small Shadow Fiend] at the same time.
What kind of golden sparring partner is this."
Qi Ge sneaked while cursing and healing himself, and took the time to assassinate [Small Shadow Fiend], torturing him to death, having a lot of fun.
If possible, Qi Ge hoped that [Small Shadow Fiend] could hold on until all his skills were maxed out.
But as the assassination level increased, the assassination of [Small Shadow Fiend] gradually became more successful.
Finally, Qi Ge accidentally...
[Assassination success!
You killed LV25 [Small Shadow Fiend (Level 5, Stage 1)].
Your assassination level has been raised to LV21. 】
"Wooah!" The Shadow Demon opened its mouth and roared, and its body gradually faded and disappeared.
But Qi Ge felt that the Shadow Demon's wailing before death inexplicably gave him a sense of relief.
[System prompt: Assassination effect, item drop probability increased.
Obtained equipment, small shadow knife. ]
[Small Shadow Knife
Use effect: Short weapon +LV5, lock picking +LV5. ]
"Huh?! Equipment exploded! I killed more than a dozen [Small Shadow Demons], and this is the second time I've exploded equipment."
Qi Ge was overjoyed and quickly picked up the [Small Shadow Knife].
It's called a knife, but it's actually a palm-length dagger. Short weapon LV5 doesn't make much sense, but the lock picking +LV5 effect is too real.
Compared to the [Rotten Shadow Bow] that Qi Ge exploded for the first time, this [Small Shadow Knife] is simply a divine weapon of the sixth and eighth levels.
[Rotten Shadow Bow
Use effect: Shooting +1]
The most pitfall is that the rotten shadow bow only has a bow but no arrows, and it can't shoot at all.
Qi Ge looked up and looked around, and said to himself:
"There is no day or night in this Chaos Treasure House. It is always drowsy and there is no way to tell time.
According to my own feeling, I have been here for more than a day.
I don't know if anyone from outside has been sent in.
Forget it, no matter if anyone from outside comes in, I can't give up saving myself.
Although I can't beat the LV80 Eye of Moses now, I can always do it.
After +5 unlocking level, my unlocking level has reached LV36, which can barely open the LV40 iron door in the castle basement.
I have basically searched the castle, and the only thing I can't enter is the basement. If there is any hope for me to escape, it must be there."
After checking the harvest, Qi Ge poked his head out of the cage.
Countless Chaos monsters are still holding on to their respective positions, including all kinds of demons and monsters.
"Hey, it's still safe in the cage. When I go back to the cage, it's like going home. I like staying in it very much."
Qi Ge opened the lock at the door of his house, sneaked out, and carried his house on his back, just like a snail.
"I understand the feelings of snails. If there is a safe house that is almost invincible when you shrink inside, I will definitely carry it on my back."
"Ah Nen Ah Nen, the green land has just sprouted, and the snail is carrying the heavy shell and climbing up step by step;
Ah Cheng A Bao, two Chaos Dragons, Ah Hee Ah Hee are laughing at it; there are so many guards in the castle, why do you still want to escape,
Ah Hun Ah Chao Er, don't laugh, you will be dead when I grow up~"
Qi Ge turned on the taunting singing mode, humming the ballad he just made up, and taunted all the way to the basement.
[Unbreakable Lock LV40
Effect: A lock that cannot be broken by force.
Current opening probability 5%]
"Come on, start brushing."
Qi Ge put down the cage, squatted on the ground, and began to try his best to unlock it.
During this period, several groups of patrolling Chaos Monsters passed by, but they all turned a blind eye to Qi Ge, who was in stealth mode.
[System prompt: Failed to unlock...]
…
[System prompt: Failed to unlock, unlock LV37]
…
[System prompt: Failed to unlock, unlock LV38]
This time Qi Ge's luck was even worse. After repeated failures, the lock in the basement finally glowed and was crushed by Qi Ge.
[System prompt: Lock unlocked successfully, unlocked LV39].
Qi Ge took a deep breath, put the invincible cage on his back, and pushed open the basement door.
Behind the door is a downward spiral staircase.
The walls on both sides of the stairs have been eroded by time and are mottled, and a lot of the plaster decoration on the walls has fallen off, exposing the gray black masonry.
This staircase is made of rough stone, has no handrails, and has a large gradient at each step, making it not suitable for Qi Ge to walk.
The surface of the stairs is covered with black moss. The moss is very smooth and will slip if you are not careful.
Despite this, this did not stop Qi Ge. He still bravely walked down the ancient stairs.
As the stairs gradually descended, the surroundings became darker and darker.
When the stairs reached the end, a huge iron door appeared in front of Qi Ge.
The door was covered in mottled rust, but it still stood solidly.
Unfortunately, there is still a lock hanging on this iron door.
[Unbreakable lock LV40
Lock opening success rate 80%]
Qi Ge breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, it's still within my lock-picking range, otherwise I would have to go back and find a way to raise the lock-picking level a little higher."
…
[System prompt: Unlocking successful, unlocking LV40]
This time the unlocking finally went smoothly, Qi Ge successfully opened the lock twice.
He mustered up the courage, held the cage, and pushed open the iron door with the cage.
Crunch~~~~
As soon as Qi Ge opened the door, countless weird eyes looked at him at the same time!
Behind this iron gate, there are at least a hundred Chaos troops stationed!
"Hiss~~ If you don't guard the main gate, you won't guard the second gate. You'll hide behind the second gate!
Has Chaos become so cunning?
Fortunately, I am more skilled. "
Qi Ge held the cage and walked in openly.
The group of chaos monsters looked at the cage in confusion and fell into a sluggish state.
Although they felt strange, they were restricted by the rules and did not attack.
Qi Ge saw through the cages that there were dozens of cages in the basement.
Most of these cages contain shadow creatures like shadow lizards, but there is one exception.
It was a humanoid creature with a short stature and disproportionate upper and lower body proportions.
Her head is relatively large, her eyes are bright, her nose is short and somewhat sharp, and her ears have a unique pointed shape. Even with a frightened expression, there seems to be a smile on her face, giving Qi Ge A very friendly feeling.
Her limbs are relatively long, and her fingers are slender and flexible, with a thin layer of webbed skin on her finger joints, similar to a frog's feet.
Her lower body resembles that of a goat, with hair, slightly bent knees, and large, thick, curved hooves.
The hair on her lower body is softer, has a beautiful golden color, and is naturally wavy, which looks very pleasing to the eye.
"Huh?! It's actually a female halfling!"
Qi Ge was a little surprised.
Halflings are a neutral race that exists in various forces in the world of Yasha, but there are not many of them.
Their special body structure makes their hands and sense of smell extremely sensitive, their movements flexible, and their agility high. Therefore, they are particularly suitable for careers such as chefs, thieves, assassins, and butchers.
Some people say that halflings are orcs, but the halfling family rejects this idea.
They believe that orcs are basically upper-body beasts and lower-body humans, while they are upper-body humans and lower-body beasts, and are an independent race completely different from the orcs.
There is some truth to this statement, because like the halflings, the centaurs, who are superior to humans and descend from beasts, have never considered themselves orcs.
Regarding this point, Qi Ge has a strong say.
He believes that to distinguish whether it is an orc, one should not just look at the appearance, but also look at the internal structure.
He didn't know the male, but the body temperature and skin feel of female centaurs and halflings were completely different from those of orcs.
The halfling is mild and rainy, the beastgirl is hot and dry, and the female centaur is warm and wet.
From a taxonomic perspective, these three races should not be confused.
Of course, this is not the point. The point is that halflings are an intelligent race and can communicate!
Although Qi Ge was a little surprised as to why the halfling NPC appeared in the Treasure Room of Shadow Struggle, the moment he saw her, Qi Ge decided to rescue her.
"Let me see how these Chaos troops can be dealt with."
Qi Ge looked around and knew what was going on.
"Most of them are Chaos monsters around level 35, numbering around 40.
With my current combat power of about LV20, it is unrealistic to fight hard.
If all the imprisoned troops are released, my level 100 command should be able to absorb them, but the casualties will not be small.
Partners are precious, and the less they die, the better.
So, what to do? "
Qi Ge touched his chin and had an idea!
"Yes! Maybe it can be like when I killed the two shadow archers last time..."
He placed the cage at the door, blocked the door, then turned and ran back, all the way back to the treasure room, and took out the remaining two cages.
The three cages were piled by seven pigeons into a "pin" shape.
Qi Ge was hiding in the cage, holding a rotten shadow bow in his hand. He used the rotten shadow bow to open the [small shadow knife] and fired the [small shadow knife] as an arrow!
With a chirp, the [Small Shadow Knife] hit an [Evil Shadow Creeper].
[System prompt: Launch shooting LV36, causing 45 points of damage. 】
"Check!"
[Evil Shadow Monster] had a dagger stuck in his head. He was in so much pain that he immediately turned around, trying to find out who had attacked it.
But apart from an innocent prisoner blinking in a cage, it only saw two open cages.
"Two cages were opened, maybe some prisoners escaped.
It was the two prisoners who attacked me.
But if I don’t see them, it’s none of my business.
Really, can't these prisoners just stay in the cage like that obedient half-elf?
What a hassle. "
[Evil Shadow] used his own logic to make a judgment and chose to look back.
Seeing this, Qi Ge breathed a sigh of relief.
LV38's [Evil Shadow Creeper] is a long-range unit that can spit sand to attack.
For Qi Ge, it is undoubtedly the biggest threat and must be solved first.
Qi Ge had tried it before. If there was only one cage, even the stupid Chaos Monster would realize that it was him who was attacking him.
But there was a cage around him, so the Chaos monsters wouldn't attack him.
He had relied on this move before, moving the cage behind Shadow Archer and assassinating him repeatedly before killing the two troublesome Shadow Archers.
If the level of the Chaos Monsters here wasn't too high, Qi Ge would have been able to kill them all without even using the Shadow Bow.
When the chaos monsters relaxed their vigilance, Qi Ge quietly returned behind [Evil Shadow Monster], pulled out the dagger, got into the cage, and then repeated his old tricks...
The Dark Soldiers of Justice who were imprisoned in the cage were stunned when they saw Qi Ge's operation, their eyes almost popped out, and they looked very surprised.
As the chaos monsters were killed one after another, Qi Ge's shooting skill level turned out to be higher and higher.
After reaching LV40, seven pigeons and two daggers can kill a LV35 chaos monster, which is extremely efficient.
…
The last [Enderman] was shot in the head by seven pigeons, and a prop fell out as its body exploded.
At this time, the Dark Soldiers of Justice in the cage all let out very suppressed shouts:
"Haas!"
"Chirp chirp chirp!"
"Dead, all dead! Great, we won!"
"hey-hey."
Their voices were very excited, but the volume was not loud. They were obviously afraid of shouting too loud and attracting the enemy.
It can be seen that these imprisoned soldiers are quite smart.
Qi Ge was happy, closed the door, and picked up the black pearls that exploded from the [Ender Man].
【End Pearl
Effect: After throwing the ender pearl, if the ender pearl is still within the field of vision, you can be teleported to the location of the ender pearl.
Disappears after teleportation. 】
"Huh?! Isn't that right? Can we leave the city?!"
Qige's eyes lit up.
He put away the ender pearls and ran towards the cage.
When the figures in dozens of cages saw Seven Pigeons approaching, they all trembled in excitement.
"Don't worry, I will let you out, but you listen to me first."
Qi Ge made a quiet movement and spoke.
As soon as he finished speaking, most of the soldiers immediately sat down where they were without any hesitation.
There were some people who were not smart enough. They looked around and realized what they were doing. They followed suit.
Qi Ge noticed that the halfling girl was the first to sit down.
Qige nodded and said:
"We are now in the territory of the Evil Shadow. There are countless Evil Shadow monsters outside. The guards guarding you are like a drop in the bucket or a drop in the ocean in front of those monsters.
So after I let you out later, you must obey the instructions and never rush towards the door.
If anyone is stupid enough to run out, even if he is dead, he will also kill all of us.
I'll unlock the doors one by one later. When you come out, you can gather at the central location.
If there is any idiot who wants to rush out, the smart guy will stop him and beat him to death.
This kind of scourge is better dead than alive.
Do you understand? Nod if you understand. "
"Uh-huh!"
All the soldiers nodded, and no one was disobedient.
Qi Ge looked around seriously and then said:
"Second point, if I let you out, I will be your benefactor and your commander.
This castle is extremely dangerous, and the shadow of evil is everywhere. Except for the brothers and sisters in this cage, we are all enemies in the world.
But don't be afraid, I promise that as long as you follow my instructions, you will be able to get out safely.
The premise is, follow the command!
Whatever I tell you to do, you must do it.
Even if I tell you to die, you will go.
You must know that I will never sacrifice you unless it is absolutely necessary, but when it is absolutely necessary, everyone must have the spirit to sacrifice themselves, including myself.
If you don't have the belief that everyone should escape even if you die, then don't come out and just wait here.
I can guarantee that it is much safer here than outside.
If you understand these two points and still want to leave with me, you nod. "
Contrary to Qi Ge's expectations, none of the more than forty soldiers were timid, and they all nodded their heads.
Qi Ge glanced at them appreciatively, looking quite satisfied, but actually he was a little nervous inside.
The Shadow Lizard brothers who have now become one with him were also like this at the beginning. They seemed to be obedient and well-behaved, but as soon as the cage opened, they ran faster than anyone else.
After thinking about it, Qi Ge felt that he had to put in a helper who would have a high probability of blocking the door for him.
He walked up to the halfling girl and asked in a low voice:
"Can you understand what I'm saying? Can you speak?"
"Sir! I can!"
The demigod girl's eyes were very bright, and she looked at Qi Ge with eyes full of love and admiration.
"Very good, do you know who you are? Why are you locked up here?"
"Sir, I am the merchant team of Darkness of Justice, responsible for buying and selling supplies in various Darkness of Justice cities.
These shadow beasts are all members of my caravan.
In addition, I am also a chef and have very good cooking skills. I can intercept the corpses of the shadow beasts I kill and make them into delicious dishes.
Our caravan was caught here because we were intercepted by the Shadow Beast on the way to transport supplies. "
Qi Ge:! ! !
Is this halfling girl so powerful?
Qi Ge quickly asked:
"Then do you remember where you were born?"
The halfling girl shook her ears with a dull expression.
"Birth? I don't remember."
When Qi Ge saw this, he knew what was going on.
There is a high probability that she is not a real person, but an NPC that was temporarily generated after the treasure house appeared.
So Qige asked again seriously: "Have you remembered what I just said? If I open the cage, can you abide by my rules?"
The halfling girl immediately replied seriously: "Don't worry, sir, I will definitely abide by the rules.
And I will help you supervise my caravan members. If anyone does not follow the rules, I will take action myself.
Qi Ge looked at the other party's firm eyes and felt that she was not hypocritical, so he unlocked her door.
[Cage Lock LV34]
Qige's eyes widened.
This halfling girl looks so soft and weak, but her lock level is actually higher than hers? !
The level of the lock represents combat effectiveness. In other words, this girl's combat effectiveness is stronger than mine?
For a moment, Qi Ge regretted it. If this girl rushed out, he might not be able to stop her unless he killed her.
Fortunately, after the cage was opened, the girl just hugged Qi Ge and jumped twice in joy, and did not run away directly.
Seeing the halfling girl successfully released from prison, the remaining troops became even more excited. Although they couldn't speak, they expressed their thoughts with their bodies and banged the cage.
The halfling girl said seriously to Qi Ge:
"Sir, I will go to the center to help you guard it."
"Wait a minute, sit down first."
The halfling girl hesitated for a moment, then turned around and tried to sit in Qi Ge's arms.
Qige:? ? ?
"So many people are watching. Sit next to me."
"oh."
The halfling girl covered her face and jumped away quickly.
She crossed her legs, rubbed them back and forth, and said aggrievedly:
"I thought you wanted to test whether I would obey your orders.
Sir, you have seen that I am obedient. "
You're too obedient!
Good guy, luckily I slapped the thigh and not the tail.
Qi Ge shook his head and threw the evil thoughts out of his mind.
He coughed twice and said:
"I want to ask you if you know the situation in this world."
"World? Sir, do you mean the Shadow Continent?
Our light and shadow continent is divided into the darkness of justice and the shadow of evil.
The Shadow of Evil has been trying to sacrifice the continent to a giant evil butterfly, and we, the Darkness of Justice, have been stopping it.
In our world, there is a special power influence, and every life can acquire innate skills.
There are three types of skills, combat skills, life skills and general skills.
Life skills, such as my cooking skills, can help us live better, but they do not directly help in combat.
Combat skills, including assassination, shooting, fighting, etc., are all skills that can directly increase combat effectiveness.
General skills can also increase combat effectiveness, but the effect is generally not as good as combat skills.
Combat effectiveness is very important.
The battles in our world are very simple, just a comparison of combat effectiveness.
As soon as the enemy and the enemy come into contact, they will start to compete in combat effectiveness. Whoever has higher combat effectiveness will win. The loser will fall into a coma and let the winner take over.
This is the first time we have seen a battle like yours just now. "
The halfling girl looked at Qi Ge with admiration:
"Obviously, your combat power is not as good as those evil shadow monsters, but you can kill them...
This is really, really amazing!
Sir, you must be the legendary God of Shadows who dominates combat power and shadow rules!
You finally wake up from your slumber! We will surely destroy all evil shadows under your leadership! "
What the hell? !
Qige's jaw almost dropped when he heard this.
He had always thought that this should be a virtual world generated during the contest between Chaos and Yasha, but now it sounds like something is wrong!
"The Black Dragon King raised a world in the Kingdom of God?
Is there still a world that has not been fully digested in the Demon Butterfly Ancestor?
Or is it that the virtual world created by Yasa and Chaos is too advanced? "
Qi Ge was confused.
"Wait a minute, if the normal battle in this world is a comparison of combat power... then my command LV100, isn't it the best skill among all the best skills? ! "
