Chapter 647 Chapter 644 They Are Coming

The air around me was tightening, which was the oppression brought by the Shadow Detection Network. Most people couldn't feel it, only Shadow casters and people equipped with Shadow Energy Intensity Detectors would notice something strange.

Although we didn't know what this strange thing was and what it did, we knew it was definitely not a good thing. After handing the smile bomb to Dr. Senna, Zhuang Xuteng immediately found Ge Gongdao and said, "Let's leave immediately."

"I haven't got the isolation suit yet!" Ge Gongdao scratched his head and said, "There were people who secretly planted spirit leaves in this place. They have several sets of laboratory-level protective suits. I have found a middleman. I can take the goods away after I see them."

"No need. Time is more precious than protection. We only need to take our personal belongings. We don't know when Senna and his left and right hands will leave. We have to leave here as soon as possible." Zhuang Xuteng winked at Ge Gongdao and said, "Zhuang Feifei is waiting too. Let's hurry up!"

The isolation suit was gone, but the bicycle was brought. Two folding bicycles and one off-road bicycle. The first two were easy to carry, and the latter was the only bicycle nearby that could bear Ge Gongdao's weight. They left their residence at night. Zhuang Xuteng and Ge Gongdao both had eyes that enhanced their vision, so the dark environment had little effect on them. Zhuang Feifei did not have a visual enhancement implant, so she could only follow her brother closely, pedaling hard, and riding out of the satellite city in the dark night.

"It feels particularly dark today, there are no stars or moon... The clouds feel so thick!"

Zhuang Xuteng turned around and glared at his sister, saying, "Focus on the ground, be careful of bumps! Still have the mind to look at the sky? How dangerous!"

Being a brother, you must first establish your authority, and you will definitely not explain that their heads are covered by shadow servants, and neither starlight nor moonlight can penetrate. In addition to authority, Zhuang Xuteng also has to take care of his sister, so it is normal that a few invisible ghost tentacles are pulling her car. The three of them left the hot spring leisure satellite city, circled outside for most of the circle, and then came to the bridge hole near the abandoned factory building. It was very peaceful along the way, and nothing else followed them except the night wind.

"Go ahead and try it, follow the steps." Zhuang Xuteng told his sister not to be nervous, then handed her a flashlight and asked her to find the entrance and exit of the Shadow Realm Passage, while he and Ge Gongdao stood guard on the side. Zhuang Feifei has always been meticulous, patient and serious. She quickly found the location of the entrance and exit, accurately located the items needed for the opening ceremony, and restored the entrance form according to the method taught by Zhuang Xuteng to try to start it.

Unlike Zhuang Xuteng, Zhuang Feifei has the ability to be a shadow follower, which is also a necessary condition for her to go to college. However, her qualifications are barely "there", that is, the worst level, and it can be said that there is no need to cultivate. She did not invest resources in this regard. As long as she can use various shadow followers normally, she has achieved her academic goals. This time, when she started the portal, it should be the first time in her life that she cast a "shadow follower spell". The shadow follower energy in her body was instantly sucked away, which made her very uncomfortable, as if someone had pinched her throat hard.

"Breathe. Use all your strength to breathe, and focus on breathing." Zhuang Xuteng came over, clapped his hands, and said, "Very good, it succeeded in one go. It seems that our family finally has some ability to cast shadow spells."

A big guy who had no talent for spells at all, and whose abilities were all in growing hair and detoxifying with urine, came over with a pout. He pointed at the garbage and dust flying in the same place and said, "Is this the portal? You just created a small whirlwind, right?"

"It will be ready in a while. It needs to accumulate shadow energy, which takes about five minutes. I will go first, and then it needs to accumulate energy again, and the timer will be ten minutes." Zhuang Xuteng made arrangements and said, "Zhuang Feifei will go second, and Dao Ge, you will go last."

"Okay, you go, I'll take a look first." He tilted his head and looked at the transmission channel, with a distrustful look in his eyes.

Five minutes later, Zhuang Xuteng stepped into the transmission channel and disappeared with a whoosh, which scared the two people outside. They were all seeing the transmission effect for the first time, which was knowledge that the company had been closely guarding and had never been seen on paper or in TV or movies. After Zhuang Xuteng passed through, the whirlwind was crooked and weak, which was a sign that it needed to accumulate energy again. Ge Gongdao pressed the timer and began to wait for ten minutes.

On the other side of the passage, the huge salt lake in the shadow world was still as empty and flat as before, and the wind blew with a feeling of loneliness and desolation. Zhuang Xuteng took a deep breath, opened his sensing tentacles, and scanned the surrounding environment. The entrance of this passage is far away from each mining point, and it is unlikely that the company's pioneering team will appear, but it is not wrong to be careful.

Feeling the wind from his hometown, the lich master once again used salt grains to shape his body and appeared in front of Zhuang Xuteng. He didn't waste any words, grabbed a handful of gray-white salt from the ground, put it in his metacarpal bone and squeezed it hard. Zhuang Xuteng's mana was absorbed by the lich master and used to rub the salt grains, and soon turned them into two rings in the shape of joints.

Zhuang Xuteng jumped on the spot, with a puzzled look in his eyes: "Master, I don't think I've used much mana? Did you give me a discount?"

"Your mana is not weak, and this kind of temporary magic item consumes very little, so it won't be a burden for you." The Lich Master spoke without stopping his hands. He extracted the resentment from Zhuang Xuteng and combined it with the surrounding salt grains to quickly shape two tall six-legged creatures.

On the whole, they look like horses, but they have short horns on their heads and teeth like saber-toothed tigers. Their skin is as tattered as zombies, and they are also made of salt mines. Zhuang Xuteng looked at this weird creature curiously and reached out to touch it. The six-legged strange horse neither dodge nor pay attention to him, treating him as nothing.

"This is a giant-toothed horse. It can run very fast and is quite powerful when alive. We once domesticated a large number of them as cavalry. It's a pity that they are all extinct and only a skeleton like me is left. Generally speaking, living animals are stronger , There should be no objection now." Master Lich waved his hand and sighed. "Although memory is everything to the Lich, some memories will only bring pain. The time is almost up, it's time for me to hide. Let them get on the horse, and the horse will take them to their destination."

"Horses are not invisible!" Zhuang Xuteng said quickly.

"It becomes invisible when it runs, and it will disintegrate and disappear when it reaches its destination. Don't worry, I have engraved these into the spell." Master Lich tilted his head and looked at the shadow world channel, and turned into grains of salt in an instant Scattered on the ground. The next moment, Zhuang Feifei stumbled in from the portal and threw herself on the ground with a thud.

The teleportation process will destroy a person's balance ability. Zhuang Feifei doesn't have super calculation martial arts, so it's normal for her to be unable to react. Zhuang Xuteng helped her up. Seeing that she was holding her breath, he smiled and said, "Breathe normally! It's okay. There is no poison in the air here."

Zhuang Feifei quickly exhaled, then took a deep breath, and said: "I was so nervous that I forgot to breathe. Ah! Before coming in, there were some strange noises coming from the hot spring sanatorium. Brother Dao said it should be a high-speed aircraft passing overhead, plus some Helicopters and convoys are approaching."

"Has it been discovered? How was it discovered? How many were discovered?" Zhuang Xuteng asked three questions in a row, not to Zhuang Feifei, but to himself. They are currently in the Shadow Realm, which is the home ground of the Lich Master. Only one person can come through the passage every ten minutes, so they are safe, but he has to consider what will happen after returning to Peicheng. Hiding is a skill, and the key is not how good you are, but what abilities and vulnerabilities the investigator has.

"Brother, I don't know. You can ask Brother Dao later." Zhuang Feifei took a few breaths and saw two strange horses not far away. She immediately exclaimed: "What kind of animals are those!"

"The giant-toothed horse is just a machine that imitates its appearance. It knows its own way and can run. You two get on it and it will take you to Peicheng. Hey, no need for the bicycle. I wasn't sure if I could get it at first. This kind of mount and bicycle are for emergency use." Zhuang Xuteng asked his sister to take a few deep breaths and asked her how she felt. "Just because you're fine now doesn't mean you can stay here forever. The erosion of the Shadow Realm is very dangerous. There is no warning before death, and you suddenly fall down. Don't stop on the road, and stay on the horse. Remember?"

"If it falls, don't you know how to get out?"

"Well, if you get lost here, you're dead. The key is that I can't know your situation, and I can't find you. Feifei, if Ge Gongdao falls, don't worry about it and keep hugging the horse's neck."

"Oh..." Zhuang Feifei thought for a moment and said, "But without Brother Dao, I can't return to Peicheng! Isn't there a company's mine blocking the door over there?"

Zhuang Xuteng gave her the invisibility ring, taught her how to use it, and told her to wear it and not lose it. After a while, Ge Gongdao also passed through the portal. He rolled forward on the ground, then stood firmly and looked around alertly.

"This is the Shadow Realm? The air smells bad... Why is it so empty? Is this a lake? Oh my god, what kind of creature is that? The six legs are spiders!"

Zhuang Xuteng and Zhuang Feifei squinted their eyes exactly the same, feeling that Brother Dao was making too much fuss.

"It seems something happened over there at the hot spring resort. High-speed fighter jets passed by seven times. I guess they were conducting reconnaissance. Fortunately, the entrance to the passage is under the bridge, so it shouldn't be found." Ge Gongdao scratched the hair on his arm and said. : "We don't know if Dr. Senner and his left and right hands have left. I hope they are okay and not stuck in there."

"Don't worry, I'll go take a look." Seeing the sudden stiffness in the expressions of the two of them, Zhuang Xuteng said, "Anyway, I have to try to see if I can avoid the company's detection by sneaking and hiding. Only by knowing this information can I Formulate a plan of action for the future. I won’t fight with the company’s planes, I will just hide and peek, don’t worry.”

"How could you not be worried?" After Zhuang Feifei finished speaking, she pursed her lips and almost shed tears.

"Just worry if you're worried. There is no other choice but to be strong." Zhuang Xuteng pointed at the giant-toothed horse and said: "Not only for yourself, but also for the people you care about, you have to be strong even if you force it. Okay, get on the horse. !”

As a creature of the undead, a gigantic horse does not tire or complain about Gorgondao's weight. The two horses carried the two escapees, and they kept accelerating on the plain of the salt lake with six hooves, and soon they were galloping.

"This time we are apart, I don't know when we will see each other again." Zhuang Xuteng and Ge Gongdao made an agreement. The two of them acted separately and cooperated from a distance. One person made the noise as much as possible, and the other tried to hide it as much as possible. Ge Gongdao had to work hard to avoid the company's detection, so it would be difficult for Zhuang Xuteng to find him. Although the two people have agreed on a method of contact, any contact must be very difficult and dangerous, and they are both mentally prepared for this.

"Okay, don't think about them anymore, let's go all out and do a great job!" Zhuang Xuteng rubbed his cheeks vigorously and prepared for the ten-minute "standby" time of the transmission channel. As soon as the channel was ready, he went through. At that moment, he felt that the environment outside was different.

The most obvious change was the shadow energy. Before, he just felt that the air was heavy, but now he felt that the surroundings were like colloid, and the shadow energy had a great interference with him. Zhuang Xuteng reacted quickly. He restrained the conditioned reflex of releasing the sensing tentacles and first used the shadow eye to observe the surroundings and try to understand what happened.

"It must be a large-scale shadow spell, there is no doubt about that, but its effect..." The spell range is too large, which increases the difficulty of reading. Zhuang Xuteng can only think from a strategic perspective. "This spell obviously consumes a lot of energy. It was deployed before and has been strengthened recently. It is likely to be a reconnaissance type, and it obviously has a certain control effect."

Just as Zhuang Xuteng felt the shadow detection network, more than 20 helicopters rushed forward in a scattered formation and rushed straight to the hot spring spa. Zhuang Xuteng was under the bridge. He used the Thousand Eyes Cloak to cover his shadow reaction, used the Shadow Servant to cover the heat reaction of his body, and hid in the shadows to take a sneak peek. In order to avoid the other party's attention, he did not dare to use the Shadow Eye, and only relied on the optical components of the Eye of Kaho for reconnaissance.

The paint on the helicopters indicated that they came from the four major companies, so it was conceivable who was sitting inside. Obviously, the company thought that Zhuang Xuteng was in the hot spring spa, so it sent enhanced people to launch a raid. According to the seat arrangement, in addition to the necessary crew members, the armed helicopters just now had about four to five passenger seats per aircraft, and twelve aircrafts were forty to sixty enhanced people. No matter how confident Zhuang Xuteng was, he was not stupid enough to fight forty alone.

Suddenly, the belly pod of a helicopter opened and dropped a metal rod with four supporting legs. It landed with the help of a parachute, stood up on its own, and released shadow energy waves to the surroundings. The nature of the newly arrived energy wave is very similar to the colloid shadow energy in the air. This way of waving outward and receiving feedback is obviously a detection radar, so Zhuang Xuteng knows what these things in the surrounding environment are for.

"It's troublesome. Once the sensing tentacles are extended, the shadow energy will definitely be discovered. Without the sensing tentacles, my detection distance is not enough, and it will also affect the use of the shadow step. This..." Zhuang Xuteng scratched his head and found that he had only two choices. Either leave here and go directly to the capital Constitution City to cause trouble, or use Dr. Senna's skills to adapt to the surrounding environment and use the colloid shadow energy to construct his own spells.
