Chapter 1820: Shadow Guard
"This is the Great Itami Mine. This place has been closed for a long time. You actually know this place." Tini exuded a glow all over her body and sighed, "Fifty years ago, this was a busy mine, and our people were here Excavated and found rich shadow iron ore veins. Driven by interests, we continued to dig down, but we dug too deep, so that we dug to the shadow corridor, which is the passage connecting the shadow lair, like this Passages of the Underworld are ubiquitous. It is a thoroughfare for the Shadow Demons in the Void, and we set them free ourselves."
"Miss Tini, if possible, can you suppress your radiance. You know, under the ground, your radiance is like a lighthouse in the dark night, and it will point the way for the shadow demons." Luo Ge said softly.
Tini quietly retracted her radiance, revealing her plump body, she retracted her wings, and the wings kept retracting into her body, and then she was no different from ordinary people. She was very tall, walking barefoot on the cracked ground, the sharp edged stones could not scratch her smooth skin, and the cold air emanating from the cracks was even more unharmed.
At this moment, Allen and his party have entered the Itami mine that Tini mentioned. It is indeed very big, and there is a hall from the entrance. The hall has been significantly reinforced. Even though the mine pit has long been abandoned, you can still feel the good air circulation here, which shows that the ventilation system is well done. The dome of the hall is high above, and several load-bearing stone pillars support the dome. The ground is a series of rails leading to different tunnels. Rusty collection vehicles can be seen around, and tools are scattered everywhere on the ground. It seemed that a catastrophe had occurred at that time, and the miners were scrambling to flee first.
"A long time ago, I was a miner here." Luo Ge picked up an excavating tool, squatted on the ground and said, "As Miss Tini said, it was a time worth remembering. We found here There are a lot of shadow iron, and the mineral veins are so rich that people are crazy. Our enthusiasm is unprecedentedly high, and everyone is desperately digging deep. Then we dug to the shadow corridor. At that time, we did not We knew what it was. But it didn’t take long for us to know that it was a passage for demons to pass through. The shadow demons entered the surface through the corridor, and many people died, but some people were taken to their lair by the shadow demons.”
"The Lair of Shadows!" Tini exclaimed, "How could someone escape back after being taken to the Lair of Shadows?"
"Yes, I escaped back. It was an unforgettable memory. But I heard that you are going there, and I want to go back again. Because my loved ones are in the nest of shadows. I hope Can bring their bones back without ever falling into a lightless hell."
Allen said lightly: "Then lead the way?"
Tini said softly: "Because of race, I and the shadow demon are attracted to each other. If necessary, I can explore their traces and find the way to the shadow lair. But relatively, the shadow demon can also feel my , so if possible, let this guide who has been to the Shadow Lair lead the way."
Luo Ge did his part and walked towards one of the mine roads. Alan and the others followed him, and Luo Ge said: "That is a strange place. The shadow lair is located deep underground, but I'm sure that place is not underground. I swear, I saw a deep place there. In the starry sky, I heard the whisper of the wind, and the flowing water played beautiful music. Such a place should not exist underground, but I can't explain why. But I know how to get there, because I escaped from the nest of shadows from……"
"It should be noted that when we pass through the shadow corridor, we should bump into the shadow guard. The shadow guard monitors every shadow corridor day and night, and only the shadow demon can pass through. Other life passing through will attract the guard's attention and cause Come attack."
"I know, those are ancient beings. Even I don't want to provoke the Shadow Guards. Fortunately, they only stay in the Shadow Corridor for many years. There is also Shadow Arbitration, those high-level demons who protect the Shadow Lair day and night, They are nothing short of living nightmares.
Tini said softly, "So I am very puzzled, how did you escape. "
"Because I know a shortcut, miss. A shortcut that can bypass the shadow arbitration and pass under the eyes of the shadow guards. So when we reach the shadow corridor, please follow me closely. At that time, I probably don't care about many of you. .But with everyone behind me, it is obvious that there is no problem."
They walked into the mine, which was deep and surrounded by smooth walls. The walls are full of reinforced equipment, which prevents the mine from collapsing even after being abandoned for so many years. As the mine goes deeper, there are more and more branch roads. Allen's amazing memory began to draw a maze-like map in his mind, but just the beginning, the map became staggeringly complicated.
An hour later, the mine road no longer extended forward and branched, but fluctuated up and down, so Allen adjusted the map in his mind, and the map had quietly changed from a flat surface to a three-dimensional structure. Allen began to notice that Luo Ge used some fungi that grew in the mine to identify the direction and diverge. When those things are lightly touched with hands, they will emit various lights of red, blue, white and purple. And Luo Ge will only choose the direction that can emit purple light, Allen asked: "What are these things?"
"They?" Luo Ge said, "I don't know what they are called, but I know that after the shadow demon passes by them, they will emit purple light when they are squeezed. Don't ask me why, because you can see them everywhere in the shadow lair." These things, they're the main lighting in that place, and in them, they're all purple."
"It's amazing," Allen said.
When they turned out of a mine road fork, a green light suddenly flashed far away. Vaguely, Allen saw a vague outline. But Luo Ge suddenly exclaimed: "Stop."
"What's wrong?" Allen frowned.
Luo Ge didn't seem to expect such a thing to happen: "It's the shadow guard, damn it. We haven't even passed the gate of death, how could there be a shadow guard, shouldn't those things be entrenched in the shadow corridor!"
Tini asked in surprise, "Are you sure it's the Shadow Guard?"
"I'm sure." Luoge moaned, "The shadow guards are different from ordinary shadow demons. Most of their bodies are also translucent energy bodies, but they will flow green lava, and you can see green lava underground. If there is a flashing object, it usually means that there are shadow guards, and that is the sign they left behind."
"So there is a shadow guard in front?"
"Maybe there is more than one." Luo Ge said in a deep voice, "the guards are connected with each other. Once a guard happens to us, the whole underground will know our arrival."
"So?" Allen stared into the distance, "We can't sneak into the shadow nest?"
"I'm afraid so."
Allen said indifferently: "Then kill in."
Luo Ge smiled bitterly: "My lord, there are countless demons there. Even if there are a small number of shadow arbitrations, at least one or two thousand. Let's kill them? That would be tantamount to suicide."
Tini, however, has full confidence in Allen: "If it's this adult, there's no problem at all."
"Well, first attract the guards." Allen looked at Tini.
The latter understood, and immediately a silver glow gradually appeared from the surface of the body. After a while, the light emitted from Tini's whole body had already illuminated this section of the mine. Except for Allen, Twilight and Bai were ready to fight, and even Lucy held Golden Rose. However, after Tini emitted the radiance for a long time, the mine tunnel was very quiet, so Tini put away the radiance, only emitting faint fluorescent light on the surface of her body.
"What's going on?" Allen asked her.
She shook her head: "This is impossible. My brilliance is the most annoying thing for the shadow demons. If there are shadow guards nearby, they are already attracted by me."
"In other words, there are traces of guard activity here, but the guard is no longer here?" Allen spread his hands, "Then what are we waiting for?"
After a while, they came to the thing emitting green light just now. It was a paw print. It seemed that the guard had left such a green paw print on the wall of the mine tunnel. There is some source power left in the paw prints. These source powers are icy cold and carry a very strong shadow energy. It is indeed the shadow guard who left everything behind. Allen deduced a little bit that such a strong shadow energy can remain with just a single touch. From this point of view, the combat power of the Shadow Guard can at least reach the level of a federal general. Even if he is not a general, he still has the combat power of a major general and a lieutenant general.
Go around the fork that left traces of shadow guards, and after a while, a gate blocks the way. The door was closed tightly, the whole body was pitch black, with rough lines on it. It looks like it has not been polished, it is cut and shaped directly from the raw material, and then installed. Brother Luo put his hands on the gate and said, "Everyone, the gate of death has arrived. This is the deepest excavation of the big mine back then. Behind the gate is a natural underground pit, which is the territory of the devil."
Tini walked over, looked at the dark gate and said: "After the demons were released from here, we worked hard to drive out the demons that entered the mine. Then the gate of death was erected here, It is used to seal off the pothole connected to the shadow corridor, and also to warn outsiders."
"But you are obviously still digging Shadow Iron." Allen said.
Tini nodded: "But now every mine has strict deep-bottom standards, it's just that the shadow demons already know our existence and often go to the surface."
Twilight and Bai walked over, pushing the door of death open at the same time. After the door was pushed open, a cold wind poured in from outside the door, making a whistling sound like a ghost. Browse and read the address:
