Zhutian: Starting from being forced to bind

This time, when updating the status of Tomie Kawakami, there was no awakening. However, Shadow Guard was luckier and really awakened a supernatural skill. The original consumption of the skill is physical strength, just like the Six Styles of the Navy.

"Shadow clone?" The first thing Chen Xi thought of was the ninjutsu in "Naruto".

After Kawakami Tomie explained it, he realized that it was not the case. The Shadow Guard's shadow clone was his own shadow. During battle, he could separate his shadow and become a clone to assist in the battle, and his behavior was controlled by the Shadow Guard.

"What about the four-dimensional attributes and combat capabilities?"

"Same as Shadow Guard."

"What about consumption?"

"It's not bad. The shadow guard said that it's not good to need to control it independently."

"It's understandable. He is a shadow to himself. He can't do anything complicated even when following orders. It's difficult for him to do two things at once."

"Yes, his shadow clone can only play a little cooperation in battle, or he can hide his real body and use the shadow clone to lure the enemy. If he fights at the same time, it will be too much of a burden on his mind."

"It's better to have abilities than nothing. So why did he suddenly awaken? Was there any sign before that?"

"Speaking of this..." Kawakami Tomie thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it has something to do with a monster we destroyed."

"What monster?"

"One of the floor masters is a two-headed dragon. It's very powerful. It took the two of us a lot of effort to kill it."

Chen Xi thought about it and remembered that it had appeared in the original plot. He suddenly realized: "Are you saying that the shadow guard ate the core of the two-headed dragon?"

"Well, it was a big piece, and he just swallowed it."

"It seems that this is the trigger. No wonder." Chen Xi muttered, looked at Kawakami Tomie, and asked, "Then what are you going to do? You won't have to eat that thing too, right?"

"It shouldn't be. I can't eat that either. I'm not in a hurry. I'll just let it go."

"Yeah, that's right. Don't feel stressed. It doesn't matter if you haven't awakened yet. I can teach you everything I know."

"Thank you boss~"

"Did that guy ask you to tell me anything? What do you need my help with?"

"No, he's fine being alone in the dungeon. You know, he likes places without sunlight."

"That's good. You've been training for long enough this time. Take a break. There's no need to rush to continue training. We have plenty of time."

"Okay."

Because of the upgrade of Tomie Kawakami, the Dawn clan became the most powerful clan in Orario for a while. Even though other members had not yet grown up, the Dawn clan was defined as one of the most powerful clans.

Yes, just a LV7 adventurer is enough.

Less than a week after Kawakami Tomie was upgraded, Ota also came back and became the second adventurer to be upgraded to LV7, but the sensation he caused was far smaller than that of Kawakami Tomie.

Freya was furious again because of this, and her plan against Ishtar's family failed. The other people under her command were useless. As long as Tomie Kawakami stopped Ota, her family might not be able to defeat Ishtar's family.

Astraea had been having some unpleasant experiences with the gods of the evil god faction, and there had been frequent conflicts recently. She was sensible enough not to force Chen Xi onto her boat.

In name, Chen Xi also belongs to the evil god faction, and it is already good enough that he can remain neutral and not deal with Astraea.

This is so outrageous. Loki, the evil god in Norse mythology, is on the side of good gods in this world, and I, a good young man, have become an evil god. How the hell can I explain this?

Chen Xi did not get involved in the struggle between the gods of good and evil, but he privately reminded Astraea to be careful, and even sent his followers to the dungeon to take care of Astraea's followers.

Perhaps the upgrade of Tomie Kawakami brought a sense of oppression to other families. The Loki family and the Hephaestus family once again proposed cooperation and continued the expedition to see if they could go deeper. If not, they would just treat it as an experience.

Thus, the four former families united and set out again.

Goddess Ishtar was extremely jealous, but her clan was not strong enough to join the expedition, so she was forced to follow the younger generations of Dawn's clan and continue to fight in the dungeon.

With Amid around, these little girls became much braver and were no longer afraid of getting hurt. After all, they had Amid's healing magic if they got hurt.

Esdeath continued to train alone, with Isabella following behind her. They would occasionally encounter danger. Relying on the boxing that Chen Xi taught her, the dwarf girl really mastered the egg-breaking fist.

To be honest, sometimes Esdeath feels very sympathetic towards the monsters, especially the humanoid monsters. When she punches them, the screams can echo in the dungeon for a long time.

As the expedition went deeper and deeper, those low-level adventurers stopped and stayed in the floors they could bear to train. Esdeath often met the Silut sisters and Ais.

The average strength of Astraea's family is pretty good, so they continue to move forward.

Only adventurers above LV6 can really go deeper, and the ones who make it to the end are Tomie Kawakami, Finn and others.

"This won't work." Finn said as he fought, "There are too many monsters. We can't handle them with just a few of us."

"It doesn't work, this is the only way. Our strengths are uneven. If we want to really go deeper, we have to wait until those small ones are improved."

“It seems that this cannot be done in the short term.”

"Then just treat this as a training session. Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Tomie is right, don't put too much pressure on yourself."

"Then let's advance slowly and familiarize ourselves with each level of the maze in advance. When everyone's level is about the same, we can all come down together to participate in the expedition."

"That's all."

Due to the uneven strength, the expeditionary force was divided into different floors. Astraea's family basically operated below the 24th floor and above the 30th floor, while Esdeath and others trained above the 24th floor.

Although it is called a joint operation, it is more like fighting alone. It is nothing more than a psychological comfort. At least when encountering danger, you know that there are allies on the nearby floors and you can go for help.

Astraea's family encountered an extremely powerful monster. They fought and retreated at the same time, but the monster kept biting them. Just when they were debating whether to continue to ask for help, another monster appeared.

A humanoid monster, holding a knife, chopped the monster that had been chasing them for a long time to death, and then ate the monster's core.

This scene made the girls of Astraea's family terrified, fearing that they would be targeted by a more powerful monster.

The monster was too strong. In the previous battle, they couldn't even see the opponent's speed and attack. Why would a monster of this level appear on this floor? !

The Shadow Guard sheathed his sword and looked at the girls from Astraea's family. They dared not even breathe, not even to move.

After watching for a few seconds, the shadow guard turned and left. Without Chen Xi's order, he would not attack the adventurers at will.

After the shadow guard disappeared deep into the cave, the girls dared to breathe heavily. They were almost suffocated by the tightness they had felt before.

The leader made a prompt decision: "We need to move up. We can't stay here any longer. If we encounter it again, who can guarantee that the monster won't attack us?"

"Agree."

"Let's go, this is too scary."

"Why would such a monster appear? It's really terrifying."

The girls reached a consensus and returned to the area above the 24th floor, where they met Aisi and others. They told them about their experiences and asked them to be more careful.

The news spread, and many adventurers knew that there was an extremely powerful humanoid monster in the dungeon. It was dressed strangely, carried a knife, and looked no different from a human.

Kawakami Tomie heard about it on her way back, and her head was full of question marks. Was the shadow guard seen by the adventurer?

Forget it, just see it, it’s no big deal.

Eventually, word of this matter spread to the Adventurer's Guild. Uranus, the god behind the guild, immediately realized that this was an intelligent monster. Why were there more and more intelligent monsters in the dungeon?

Uranus, who had been paying attention to the dungeon, couldn't help but wonder, is it possible for the creatures on the ground and the intelligent monsters to live in peace?

Uranus calculated for a long time and realized that this was feasible, but he needed an opportunity. If he wanted the intelligent monsters to believe it, he needed a person with a pure soul to serve as a representative.

Unfortunately, there are no such people in Orario at present.

Just wait a little longer, maybe an opportunity will suddenly appear.

The expeditionary force returned with another great victory, and everyone has improved a lot. This news made the gods of the evil god faction unable to sit still. They can't go on like this, they must fight back.

Under the guidance of a certain god, they set their sights on the dungeon, wanting to use the dungeon's self-protection mechanism to deal with Astraea's family.

Apart from forging, Hephaestus's family is not interested in other things, and Loki's family is not so nosy. Only Astraea's family is extremely incompatible with the evil god's faction.

The target is the Astraea family!

The adventurers from the evil god's faction began to set up various traps, made all preparations, and waited for the right moment to lure Astraea's family into the trap.

The trap was activated, the dungeon suffered an unprecedented blow, and then the protection mechanism was triggered, and disaster occurred.

In the original novel, Astraea's family was tragically wiped out because of this, with only one Ryu surviving, but this time the situation has changed.

After the disaster appeared, it immediately started to clear out the adventurers in the dungeon, but before it could show its power, it was targeted by the Shadow Guards.

The Shadow Guard was almost drooling at the sight of Disaster. Such a powerful monster should provide him with a more powerful monster core, right?

The disaster that pounced on Astraea's family was kicked away in mid-air by the shadow guard. He rushed forward with a knife in hand. This is my experience value.

Chapter 181 Scarlet Poison Needle

The speed of Calamity is fast, but Shadow Guard is even faster.

Disaster is agile and the Shadow Guard is just as good at the Moon Step.

Calamity can rebound magic, but Shadow Guard doesn't know magic at all, he only knows how to use a knife.

The girls of Astraea's family were dumbfounded. They could not see anything and could only hear the sounds of fighting around them and the occasional explosion.

That was the sound of Calamity or Shadow Guard being knocked flying and hitting the mountain.

Soon, the leader came back to his senses: "That monster saved us?"

"It seems so, Captain, what should we do?"

"retreat."

"what?"

"Aren't we going to help?"

"Stop joking. We cannot interfere in a battle of that level. Let's go and tell the guild about what happened here."

"Yes, yes, we must expose the conspiracy of those people. It is so abominable that they dare to do such a thing."

"Hurry, let's go back together and leave here quickly."

The girls of Astraea's family fled from here in a hurry. This time no one died, but the disaster over there was not so good.

When the Shadow Guards face off against the Disaster, the dungeon will probably be silent for a long time. Isn't this just a disturbance?

The reason why Disaster is so powerful is that it relies on the same tactics as Fire Cloud Evil God. Only speed can break it. Now that it has encountered something faster than it, it is also at a loss.

The extremely high defense is useless when facing the city-slaughtering black gold. The shadow guard's knife only requires a little more effort to chop the disaster than other monsters, and it can still easily break the defense.

The injuries on Disaster's body became more and more serious, and the Shadow Guard even activated the ability of the Black Gold Curse to massacre the city. Those injuries would never recover, seriously affecting Disaster's performance.

Disaster was also enraged, and was determined to kill this bastard even if it meant dying together with him.

The shadow guard slashed Disaster with a knife, seriously injuring him, and he was pinned under Disaster, with his body pierced by the tail. Disaster pressed down the shadow guard's limbs tightly and opened its big mouth to bite him.

This time, I want to see how you die!

The immobile shadow guard let Disaster bite him, but his shadow came to life at this moment and picked up the city-massacre black gold on the ground while Disaster was not paying attention.

Disaster bit the shadow guard's head to pieces and finally killed his biggest threat. Just as he relaxed a little, he felt a sharp pain in his neck and his head flew into the air.

Before dying, Calamity saw another Shadow Guard attacking it from behind, and the Shadow Guard whose head had been bitten off began to recover.

Disaster: “???”

Which one of us is the monster?!

The consciousness of the disaster disappeared here, and the whole thing turned into ashes. The shadow guard stood up and picked up the core of the disaster happily. What a good thing.

The protection mechanism has been resolved, and the dungeon did not reappear for the second time. Perhaps if the adventurers launch another strong attack, the second protection mechanism will be triggered, and more powerful monsters will appear again.

The Shadow Guard didn't know the inside story, otherwise he would probably destroy the dungeon on his own initiative, just to allow powerful monsters with protection mechanisms to appear and become his own food.

Astraea's family returned to Orario and reported the incident in full, which attracted the attention of the guild. God Uranus even convened a meeting of gods to strongly condemn those unruly gods.

Chen Xi naturally also participated in the God's Council. To be honest, it was not interesting. It was just a bunch of verbal battles. The gods all treated people differently based on their status. Whoever had the stronger clan would have more say.

He always felt something was familiar, and then he thought, isn't this a United Nations meeting? Uranus is equivalent to the Secretary-General, and those big families are equivalent to the five great benefactors. The meeting is to mediate the wars in other countries.

Astraea's family is quite powerful and can be considered as one of the five good people. The evil god's faction is considered as NATO. Anyway, the two sides have started fighting, and NATO broke the rules first. What should be done about this matter?

Even the five good people don't want to see the rules being broken. Loki and Freya expressed their attitudes at the first opportunity. If you do something wrong, you must be punished.

If you can't punish the gods, then you have to punish your relatives. You can't just pat your butt and apologize when you do something wrong. The cost of making a mistake is too low.

Chen Xi also expressed his stance. He said that the Evil God faction did not inform him of their actions, which meant they did not consider him as their own. So from now on, he would leave the Evil God faction. Since the Good God faction did not want him, he would just become a neutral faction.

The evil god faction feels like they have eaten a fly. Why didn’t they notify you? Don’t you have any idea?

Everyone in Orario knows about the little affair between you and Astraea!

The last part of the Gods' Council was the voting session. Loki and other gods had expressed their opinions, and those gods with less strength naturally followed the crowd and voted for punishment.
