Chapter 708 The Possibility of Shadow Space

Kent's sudden departure did surprise Li Si.

He also wants to get more information from Kent!

Anyway, Kent in this state definitely poses no threat to Li Si.

After merging with the Shadow Nest, Kent could only use those shadow monsters to drag down Li Si and others.

But for Li Si, who has mastered shadow jumping, he can leave here anytime he wants.

So Li Si acted quite confident and seemed fearless.

In Kent's opinion, Li Si's behavior clearly showed that he was very confident about his situation and was even sure that he could kill him by force.

Although he knew that he was almost immortal, it was his first time to face off against other legends, so Kent felt a little unsure.

However, what he didn't know was that Li Si really had no good way to deal with him in his current state.

The only way to target Kent is to separate him from the fused Shadow Nest and sever his connection with the Shadow Plane.

Otherwise, Li Si would have no way to deal with Kent in this state.

Li Si just wanted to test Kent, and then left with Philip and Caleb.

The reason for taking this risk is that after Li Si discovered Kent's secret, he became curious about the Church of the Shadow King.

There is no doubt that Kent's abnormality is quite unusual.

It is very likely that it was the Shadow King who took action to connect him to the shadow plane.

But it is obvious that in this extremely rare situation, the Shadow King must have paid a heavy price.

It would definitely be a loss for the Shadow King to do such a thing for a legend.

In other words, the Shadow King connected Kent to the Shadow Plane for other purposes.

The reason why Kent was scared away by Li Si so easily was probably because Gushan City was not their ultimate goal.

It is very likely that Kent was allowed to come over to test the waters and practice in advance.

Otherwise, there would be many more shadow monsters bred in the Shadow Nest.

If all these shadow monsters had rushed into Lonely Mountain City at the beginning, the damage they caused would have been even greater.

Thinking of this, Li Si couldn't help but shook his head.

There's no point in thinking about it any more.

Now that Kent has left, even if the Church of the Shadow King has other arrangements, things should be stable.

Meanwhile, Caleb and Philip briefly inspected the underground space.

But it was obvious that neither of them gained anything.

"Okay, that should be it."

Li Si looked at the two and said:

"I'll be leaving soon. Caleb, you and Philip should go out together."

"Tell the dwarves about the situation here, and they will naturally arrange people to come and deal with the situation here."

"We directly dealt with the lair of the shadow monsters and drove away the evil god's followers. The dwarf should be satisfied."

"Then the dispute between the Dwarven Royal Court and the Elven Kingdom should be over, and you can report to your superiors, Philip."

"You too, Caleb. The Dwarven Court should no longer find excuses to hinder cooperation with the Church of the God of War."

Li Si said to the two of them with a smile.

"Li Si, what about you? Why don't you go back with us?"

Philip glanced at Li Si, shook his head and asked.

“Forget it. Like I said before, I have other things to do in Lonely Mountain. I can’t let those dwarves know that I’m in Lonely Mountain.”

"Although Kent knows about it, the dwarves will definitely not know about it in a short period of time."

"That's it, I understand."

Philip looked at Li Si meaningfully, with a hint of a smile on his face.

Originally, he felt a little curious about Li Si's appearance in Gushan City.

Now it seems that Li Si is not planning to do anything good!

Philip naturally had no objection to this, but instead fully supported it.

In fact, the relationship between the elves and the dwarves has always been quite bad.

If the Elf Kingdom was not in a very bad situation right now, Philip would never have been arranged to come and help the dwarves.

So Philip was quite happy to know that Li Si might want to do something bad.

There is an urge to be a fun person.

So Philip was naturally willing to help Li Si keep this secret.

As for Caleb, he had no opinion at all.

He was a little afraid when Li Si brought him to the shadow space before.

That ability to appear and disappear at will was quite troublesome for Caleb.

Li Si's skillful performance in the Shadow Nest made Caleb a little afraid.

Moreover, if this matter ends here and Caleb can continue to cooperate with the Dwarf Royal Court on behalf of the Church of the God of War, Li Si will have done Caleb a big favor.

In matters that did not involve himself or the Church of the God of War, Caleb naturally didn't mind giving Li Si some face.

Seeing that both of them agreed to Li Si's request, Li Si did not mention anything else.

After leaving this space, Li Si chatted with Xiandaier and others for a while, then left alone.

Back to Lonely Mountain City,

The fierce battle in the city before has now completely calmed down, and the terrifying shadow octopus monster and the dwarf king have disappeared.

If it weren't for the buildings destroyed by battle in various parts of the city and the temple priests who were rescuing the wounded, the battle just now would seem as if it had never happened.

Walking slowly towards the direction of the Hammer Workshop, Li Si watched the dwarves in the city cleaning up the traces of the battle, and was thinking about what had just happened.

Although the final result of this experience in the underground mine of Gushan City was quite good and the followers of the Shadow King who were secretly causing trouble were driven away, it was a bit anticlimactic for Li Si.

In the battle just now, Li Si did not get any extra rewards, but only got a milestone called [The Shadow Tide of Lonely Mountain City].

Apart from some legendary points, there were no other rewards.

However, Li Si was somewhat concerned about the performance of Kent Holden, the [Shadow Veil], just now.

Li Si recently passed the promotion in the [Shadow] field and mastered the ability to control a shadow space that belongs only to him.

It was through this ability that Li Si forcibly subdued Caleb without anyone else noticing.

Although this shadow space is most effective for people who are not as strong as Li Si, Li Si feels that this shadow space still has great potential.

After seeing the Shadow Nest that Kent had fused, Li Si also had some ideas about it.

Kent connected his life to the Shadow Plane by merging with the Shadow Lair.

Although it looks a bit weak, it is still quite powerful in some aspects.

Whether it is the almost immortal vitality or the ability to breed those endless shadow monsters, it is a very powerful ability.

At least the vast majority of legends and even demigods can't do anything to Kent.

Li Si was also somewhat interested in Kent's ability. If his shadow space could also have similar abilities, it would be a considerable improvement for Li Si.

Of course, Li Si didn't want to be like Kent, whose body merged with the shadow space and lost his freedom.

However, the ability to breed special creatures from the shadow plane, to draw on endless shadow power and the ability to be immortal, is still quite good.

It’s a pity that Kent escaped quite decisively at that time, leaving Li Si without enough time to study him carefully.

I don’t know if I will have the chance to meet Kent again in the future.

I remember that according to the original plot, Kent should be in
At this moment, Li Si's footsteps suddenly stopped.

A question suddenly occurred to him.

When Kent Holden, the [Shadow Veil], appeared in his previous life, he was not in the form of the Shadow Nest.

But Kent is no different from a normal legendary warrior, and the ability he displays is that of a shadow mage.

But if Kent has now merged with Shadow's Nest, who is the Kent who will fight the other Legends in the future?
Could it be that at some time in the future, Kent broke away from that special state of fusion?
It should be impossible.

Li Si shook his head and thought.

Although it is unknown how Kent did it, his fusion with the Shadow Nest must have come at a great cost.

Li Si had never heard of such a thing before.

If it weren't for Kate's special condition, he wouldn't have guessed Kent's true condition.

There is no doubt that Kent should be one of the important plans of the Church of the King of Shadows.

Even if he wanted to, the Church of the Shadow King would not allow him to leave the fusion state.

So, there was something wrong with the Kent who appeared in the previous life?

Li Si thought quickly in his mind and slowly sorted out his thoughts.

Could it be that the Kent who appeared in the previous life was his clone?
Is it just because of the camouflage effect of the shadow power that it was not detected?
If that's the case, it makes sense.

No wonder Kent was killed several times in his previous life, but it seemed like he had no effect at all.

If this is also a new ability Kent gained from the Shadow Nest, then it seems to explain Kent's somewhat strange behavior in his previous life.

So, the power of Shadow Nest seems to be getting stronger?

At least in the previous contact, Kent did not show any ability to fight personally.

The incarnation that appeared also had no power.

Thinking of this, Li Si had some guesses.

If his incarnation was born from the Shadow Nest, does that mean that the monsters born from the Shadow Nest have other abilities?
Could it be that the plan of the Church of the King of Shadows is the special existence that Kent nurtured through the Shadow Nest?
If this is the case, then in addition to the massive amount of shadow monsters, the Shadow Nest has a more important function.

Thinking of this, Li Si became more interested in Kent's Shadow Nest.

But after this incident, Kent would definitely not take the initiative to appear in front of Li Si without my words.

But if Li Si's guess just now was correct, then in addition to the shadow tide that just attacked Lonely Mountain City, the Church of the Shadow King should have other backup plans in Lonely Mountain City.

This attack is likely to conceal their other plans.

It's a bit of a headache.
Li Si rubbed his forehead.

No matter which evil god a church believes in, at this special time in the Gaia world, they will definitely not sit still and will want to come out and do something.

This is the most troublesome thing for the Orthodox Church.

If the conspiracy of the evil god's followers is not discovered in advance, even if it is stopped in time afterwards, it is likely to cause considerable damage.

Forget it, just let it happen!

If this was in Port Danerlo, Li Si would definitely find all the evil god believers in the Church of the Shadow King.

But this is Lonely Mountain, the capital of the dwarf kingdom.

The matter of catching the evil god's followers still depends on the dwarves.

When problems arise, Li Si would just solve them. He would not spend so much energy looking for those believers of evil gods.

While Li Si was thinking, he had unknowingly returned to the door of the Hammer Workshop.

Seeing Li Si coming back, Nitier rushed out of the door with a look of surprise, grabbed Li Si's hand and shook it violently.

"Li Si, are you back?"

"Where did you go before? Why did you suddenly disappear?"

Nitil continued, as if she was quite frightened.

"Fortunately, His Majesty Preston is here, otherwise I don't know how this attack would end."

"How dare those damned evil god believers do these things in Lonely Mountain City?"

When Nitier saw Li Si, she put her worries aside.

"We got separated suddenly before, and I found a safe place and came back after it was over."

Li Si glanced at this and said to Nitil.

After meeting Caleb, he left a clone to accompany Netil to the Fire Festival, and went to find Caleb himself.

It should be when they entered the Shadow Nest that the clone that was accompanying Netil disappeared directly because they were disconnected after entering another space.

After all, that clone didn't have much strength and couldn't sustain itself on its own.

At this moment, Tom also walked out slowly from the hammer workshop.

"Little Nitil, I told you not to be so anxious. Little Lisi is such a smart person, he will definitely be fine."

After saying that, Tom looked at Li Si and said:
"Next time you encounter such a dangerous situation, it's safer to return to the workshop early."

"After this incident, no evil god believer will dare to come to Lonely Mountain City to challenge the majesty of the royal court again."

"Really? Are you still talking about me?"

After hearing what Tomn said, Nitil said with some dissatisfaction:

"You were also worried when Reese didn't come back just now."

"The guards at the workshop have been sent out to look for them."

"Alas, these are two different things!"

Tom looked a little embarrassed.

He was really shocked when he heard Netil say that Reese had suddenly disappeared.

This is his successor, nothing must happen to him.

"That's right, little Reese."

Tom was worried that if Nitil continued to talk, he would lose face, so he quickly changed the subject and said:
"His Majesty Patterson just came to tell me something. This should be a rare opportunity for you."

"What do you mean?"

Li Si asked curiously.

Shouldn't this be the busiest time for those dwarf legends?
Why did the [Hundred Forging Hands] suddenly think of the Hammer Workshop and him?
"Because of this attack, the temple took out the semi-artifacts and sacred artifacts of our clan."

"Taking this opportunity, the Temple and the Royal Court allowed the Forging Master to touch these treasures and gain experience."

"Little Reese, do you want to go?"
