Academic Gathering with Lich Colleagues

Chapter 266 In the Shadows
Like slowly sinking in the ocean, Lyle was wrapped in Nia's soft body, with only a thin layer of separation from the shadow.The hissing sound similar to the bubbles of carbonated beverages was constantly heard in the shadow. At first, Lyle thought that the unowned shadow was also corrosive, but through Nia's telepathy, he realized that she was eating, using that layer of film to Corrosive shadows.

Not far away, the light and the sinking Lyle kept a close distance, as if something warm was chasing Lyle.

Such a wonderful capsule travel time is as short as only a dozen seconds. When Lyle crawled out of the hidden pool, Nia had completely retracted into Lyle's sleeve. She obviously knew that she had caused trouble.

Lyle didn't have time to blame her, because he still had a little trouble behind him.

Kallen, shining with holy light, exploded out of the pool of shadows. The holy light has a certain mysterious reaction to other forces. When Kallen stepped on solid ground, the shadow pool had been burned by the holy light.The way back was broken.

"Lord Lyle!" Kallen, who was holding the warhammer, was surprised. She rushed to Lyle quickly, and blocked Lyle's front with her petite body. "Where did that monster go? Did it run away?"

Lyle began to look around.

This is also a dense forest, it seems that it is also in the mountains.The twisted and deformed strange trees are like beasts fighting each other. They extend their ugly claws and branches to other trees, weaving a web in the air that cannot see the sky, a web that spiders will get lost when they see it.

This dense forest is pure black, and the occasional dark black fog that drifts past narrows the already gloomy field of vision.Behind the two of them was a mountain wall, and the height extended into the invisible cloud. This place seemed to be a basin-like location, and there was only the road ahead.The path between the trees for a few days is like the mouth of a wild beast, a place that normal people don't want to go deep when they see it.

"Master Lyle! Let's go! Fight against the evil that is holding you hostage, this must be its lair!" Kallen has come to a path leading to the dark abyss, her hammer emits holy light, becoming a light searchlight, while looking at Lyle eagerly.

Lair?Lyall looked at a small piece of Nia's tentacles protruding from his sleeve, the evil god's nest is here.Although Karen's actions were a little bolder, she had no other choice right now.It was impossible for him to leave Karen here alone. Lyle tentatively touched the emblem of Andrea, and after confirming that it could be used again and again, Lyle became a little bolder.

"Let's go, Kallen, praise the Holy Light!"

After walking less than 20 meters in the dense forest, the light had already dimmed a lot. The holy light shone the shadows of the two on those strange trees, and as they moved, it was as if something was moving.

It's too quiet, this feeling is like returning to Andre's bone forest, although Lyle has secretly confirmed that there are no bones in the soil under his feet.Perhaps it was because of the long time spent in the Lich Academy, Lyle felt very at home in this dark place where no one was seen and no one was heard.Kallen was just the opposite. She was brave enough to walk ahead of the road spontaneously, but her face could not give her courage. After walking a few steps, she would turn her head and look at Lyle.

"Master Lyle, don't be afraid! I will always watch you!"

"Thank you, Kallen." Lyle actually wanted to sneak in the corner when she turned her head, to see what she would do if she didn't see what he would do. After thinking twice, he gave up, and the hammer was still there.

At first, Karen insisted on leading the way, but as her steps slowed down, Lyle came to the front.Lyle got used to the darkness, his eyes gradually became able to distinguish trees and shadows in the darkness, and he could see those thorny thorns and sunken pits without light.

The road they are walking now has traces of being destroyed. This may be left by Vera Liz, because she once recruited those shadow beasts who came from nowhere in this area.Then this road may lead to two locations, an unknown shadow beast stronghold, or another exit.

Mr. Gentleman doesn't have a good opinion of those shadow beasts.

"Some puppets without sanity, born deformed, or simply fragments, fragments that are still moving."

After walking a distance, Lyle stopped.

"Karen."

"What's the matter? Lord Lyle."

Lyle lowered his voice, and unconsciously lowered his body. "Turn off the light, Kallen, don't let the holy light go."

Karen obeyed the instructions and stopped releasing the dazzling holy light.

After her eyes got used to the darkness, Karen saw that those moving shadows hovering not far away were exactly the same as those shadow beasts driven by witches.A large group.

These shadow beasts were not controlled by their masters, and they wandered around in a stiff and lifeless manner. Only when two shadow beasts were about to collide, would they turn their bodies slightly and change their course.Like ghosts, ghosts may be a little more human than they are.

"What to do, Lord Lyle, they are blocking our way."

Lyle picked up a small stone from the side, stared at the nearest shadow beast, and threw it not far away when the other shadow beasts around it turned around.

I thought it would hear the sound and shift its position, however, it didn't change, like a deaf person.

In disbelief, Lyle dropped it again, and again, and again, closer and closer.Finally, the stone landed on its head with a snap.Lyle was ready to expose Nia's plan to take Kallen to avoid the enraged herd.

However, there is still no movement, even if the stone hits it, it is like a clay figurine that can be manipulated at will.

It seems that all dangers are our own defenses?

Lyall exhaled a breath and made a final test.Alone, he walked into the shadow beast's line of sight.

After a breath, after a quarter of an hour.

There was no movement, these wandering shadow beasts didn't care about Lyle's appearance, as if he didn't exist.

"A group of moving corpses are really inferior to zombies."

Lyle squeezed the emblem of Andrei tightly, and walked into the herd amid Karen's exclamation.

Looking at the shadow beasts constantly moving around, like shadows dancing around a bonfire, wandering around, I am like a mass of air.

Lyall returned to Kallen.

"There is no threat, we can go straight through, but for safety's sake, don't touch them, don't use holy light."

Karen nodded, nervously holding the hammer in both hands, and followed behind Lyle.

This group of shadow beasts is like another forest, at least except that they can move, they are not much different from those twisted trees, and those trees are even more terrifying.

A smooth road always makes people let down their vigilance, at least when Lyle was pulled on the back by Nia's tentacles, he was completely unprepared.

Prepare to face blades stabbing from the shadows.
