Chapter 44 Shadow Soldiers, Fangs

After graduating from Notting College, Xiao Wu and Cheng Xiao set out on the road to the Star Dou Great Forest. Tang San went to Soto City alone, intending to go to a college called Shrek as recommended by the master.

Since reaching level 30, Cheng Xiao has gained the ability to extract and preserve shadows, and even has a special ability, the power of the ruler.

The omnipotence of the ruler, "It can affect things without direct contact."

Shadow extraction, "Extract the remaining energy in inanimate organisms and turn them into shadow soldiers. The higher the ability of the extracted organism, the longer the death time, and the greater the possibility of failure. At this stage, there are only three extraction opportunities. Once three failures, the opponent will return to nothingness and there will be no possibility of extraction. (The number of extractions will increase with the level, and the success rate is the same.)"

Save shadow, "Shadow soldiers are saved in the king's shadow. According to the needs of the king, they can be summoned or protected again. (The number of shadow soldiers will increase with the level.)"

…………

In the dark night sky, a crescent moon hangs alone, and the faint cold moonlight falls on the earth.

In the dark forest, a faint bonfire is lightly jumping, bringing a hint of warm light to the silent night.

Beside the bonfire, the boy leans against the tree trunk, playing with the flames with the fire stick in his hand.

Including today, Cheng Xiao has been in the Xingdou Great Forest for three days. After arriving at the Xingdou Great Forest, Xiao Wu was brought back to the inner circle by Er Ming. After discussing with Daming, the two forest emperors also decided to take good care of Xiao Wu until she completely broke through level 60.

Putting a piece of firewood in casually, making the bonfire brighter again, Cheng Xiao held his chin with his palm and said lightly: "Fang, are there any thousand-year soul beasts suitable as soldiers nearby?"

"..." A black gas slowly emerged from Cheng Xiao's eyes, and then a beast-type shadow soldier with exposed fangs and black mist all over his body appeared in front of him.

That's right, the beast-type shadow soldier in front of him, called Fang, was the Nether Demon Wolf that died in the Soul Hunting Forest. For some reason, after the Nether Demon Wolf was killed by Cheng Xiao, who was possessed by the Shadow King, all the energy in its body drilled into Cheng Xiao's shadow.

Just when Cheng Xiao broke through to level 30 and condensed the third thousand-year soul ring, the dead Nether Wolf was automatically summoned. Perhaps it was his first soldier. Cheng Xiao named it Fang, and its shadow level was ordinary.

Shadow levels are divided into six levels: ordinary, elite, knight, elite knight, general, and commander.

"I almost forgot that your level is not high enough, and it is still difficult for you to speak." After muttering a few times, Cheng Xiao shook his head helplessly. After all, his strength was too weak. After Xiao Wu left, there was no one to talk to.

Fang: "(⊙﹏⊙)"

"Forget it, since there is no suitable beast-type soul beast, let's kill some hundred-year soul beasts with a cultivation level close to a thousand years tomorrow." Cheng Xiao yawned, and then gave Fang an order to guard, and then crossed his legs and posed in a cultivation posture.

Beside the campfire, the boy slowly closed his eyes, and the surroundings became silent again, with only the sound of firewood crackling and the low hum of insects.

…………

After a long time, Cheng Xiao, who had closed his eyes, suddenly opened his eyes and stood up with a frown.

The sudden consumption of shadow power in his body had to make Cheng Xiao alert. Just now, the connection between the shadow soldier Fang and him was disconnected, which means that a powerful soul beast that could easily kill Fang appeared nearby.

"Fang." Cheng Xiao stretched out his palm, and a wisp of black smoke fell to the ground in a parabola. After a moment, the shadow soldier Fang appeared in front of him again.

After reviving Fang again, a dark purple light lit up in the depths of Cheng Xiao's eyes, because he had already felt that a big guy was approaching him.

He moved his body and found a big tree to hide his figure first. Then Cheng Xiao gave another order to the shadow soldier Fang. With a low roar, Fang instantly ran towards the depths of the forest. As a shadow soldier, it can communicate with the king anytime and anywhere to report the situation.

Looking at Fang's disappearing figure, Cheng Xiao's eyes glowed with deep purple light, and the shadow power in his body left his body and expanded outward like a big net. Every place he passed, he could clearly perceive the surrounding things.

Through the shadow power covering the surroundings, nothing happened within a kilometer nearby that could attract Cheng Xiao's attention, but as the shadow power gradually covered, he didn't know why, and a sense of foreboding rose in his heart.

As the shadow power gradually spread, all nearby creatures, including every blade of grass and every tree, were exposed in Cheng Xiao's mind. At a distance of 1,500 meters ahead, two soul beasts were fighting, and Fang was hiding in the bushes near them, without sticking his head out.

"Roar!"

A high-pitched and sharp beast roar sounded, and the surrounding vegetation rustled, as if it was blown by an invisible strong wind and could not resist.

The next moment, Cheng Xiao saw clearly the appearance of the two fighting soul beasts. One of them was actually the human-faced demon spider known as the evil killer, and the soul beast fighting with it was actually a ghost tiger. At this moment, the two soul beasts had already used their best skills, and neither of them intended to let the other go.

Especially the ghost tiger, it looked at the evil killer in front of it, its blood-red eyes were filled with fierce power, and its fierce breath was exposed.

This is a ghost tiger that is nearly ten thousand years old. Its opponent seems to be a five thousand year old human-faced demon spider. The latter can fight with ordinary thousand year level soul beasts at the hundred year level. Moreover, as a terrifying soul beast that likes to kill, it is often hunted by some powerful soul beasts. Therefore, it is not easy to cultivate to a thousand years, let alone ten thousand years.

But the human-faced demon spider has a powerful skill, that is, devouring. After devouring other types of soul beasts, the human-faced demon spider will convert the soul power in its body into its own ability. It is for this reason that it will be hunted by some powerful soul beasts to ensure the balance of the ecological chain.

But now, this nearly ten thousand year old ghost tiger is being targeted by a five thousand year old human-faced demon spider. Judging from the bloody marks on its back, it should have been ambushed by the human-faced demon spider.

Moreover, there were some white spider webs on the back half of the ghost tiger's body. It was obvious that it was ambushed by the human-faced demon spider without knowing it. However, as an attacker, the human-faced demon spider was not in a good situation either. It had eight spider legs, but now only six were left, and the other two fell to the side, looking very miserable.
