Damn it, this boss really has no normal skills.

They clearly looked like weak, inconspicuous, ordinary shadows, but the flowers, plants, living corpses, flesh and blood they brushed were all silently melted into them, turning into the purest energy and flowing upstream. The source of all shadows has been eliminated, leaving only a gray world that has lost its color.

At this time, Ji Ming had already walked out of the gate of the manor. The losses of the mercenaries in the fierce battle were not small, but the mercenaries who lost the follow-up reinforcements were gradually wiped out. After all, they won the final victory.

The survivors were cleaning the battlefield, with dazzling greed on their tired faces, like a group of vultures plundering trophies from the corpses of their comrades, teammates, and even brothers.

Christine and other main players all sat in a relatively clean place. In order to survive, they did not dare to be lazy at all. They played the whole game, and they are still panting to this day.

Seeing Ji Ming appear at the door unharmed, they all came over to ask what was going on inside.

While Ji Ming was thinking, I had slowed down. Why did the mercenary survive so long? A kind and warm smile appeared on one side.

"Good news, the portal has been destroyed by me, we won!"

"Oh oh oh! You are indeed the chosen one!"

……Well.

Ji Ming never thought that this group of thieves and mercenaries would one day look at him with such admiration. There was even mist of excitement in their eyes, and tears fell down.

"Wow, oh, oh, I finally let go of my worries."

"Oh my God, this is such a nightmare. Finally we don't have to fight anymore."

"I must ask the leader for a long vacation in the future, and I must take a serious rest..."

Then they held up the bloody property in their hands and started an extremely ugly deep forest dance and a hoarse and taunting hymn to the God of the Jungle. There were even a number of big and powerful men hugging each other and spinning in circles to celebrate enthusiastically, and they all Several female soldiers were left aside in confusion.

In fact, Ji Ming didn't need their help at all if he wanted to harm Lao Yangtou. The reason why he brought the mercenaries to the city lord's mansion was just to find a reason to kill them.

Anyway, if they are bold enough to challenge the players with nothing to do in the future, they will definitely not be able to escape the beatings they deserve, the killings they deserve, and the ones who survive will all be sent to the mines for labor reform until they die. It is better to treat them decently now. Dying on the battlefield is considered a destination for a warrior...

However, he had just finished expressing his kindness and planned to see how the players were doing, when he suddenly felt a thump in his heart.

This was obviously another reminder of his paradoxical luck, but when he looked back, there was nothing there, except that the ground of the manor seemed a little dark.

"Um……"

Although I don’t know what happened, a gentleman does not stand behind a wall, so he is right to run away now!

However, he had just taken the first step, and the rapidly spreading shadow had already infected the floor tiles under his feet, and tentacle-like darkness gradually climbed up to his ankles.

However, when he noticed the strange power clinging to him, before he could reach the high-dimensional biological energy protector, the iron fists of Zhengqi and Shengguang smashed down one side of his legs.

The ethereal shadow trembled and was knocked stiff, shrinking like a mad dog that was hit on the head with a big stick. However, it did not retreat, but jumped over Ji Ming and continued to spread forward.

"Be careful, these weird people have tricks!"

Therefore, even if he reminds him in time, it will be a step too late after all. This group of mercenaries who do not practice good deeds on weekdays, but are riddled with blood and evil energy, are like pieces of cooked veal steak to Shadow. Even if someone stops him, he will not I quickly took a bite and felt sorry for having traveled such a long distance!

So at the next moment, the crowd that had been extremely happy just now collapsed, and each one of them couldn't even take back their smiles before they howled in horror.

"What's this!"

"I feel like something inside me is being absorbed by it... No, stop!"

"Ah, save me, I don't want to die!"

Looking at the mercenaries who were kneeling in shock and screaming, their skin quickly withered and shriveled, Ji Ming suddenly remembered the guzheng action in "The Three-Body Problem", but this shadow was more terrifying than the nano-flying blade. Once a living being is touched by it, All vital nutrients will be taken away, and the bones and flesh will become part of it.

And all this happened too fast. Even if there were talismans and splashing spirit-gathering liquid to dispel the strangeness, Ji Ming would not be able to save all the mercenaries. The time to act was extremely limited, so he could only make a quick decision.

The first one to be rescued was naturally Eleanor. Being protected as a student by a hidden Holy Light Archbishop, and supported by her own teacher who was 100% an exiled noble from the Holy Tree Kingdom, the gold content of this noble noble was absolutely excellent. In the future, he will definitely become a well-known powerful person in the Glow Kingdom. Death here will be a loss to his circle of friends.

The second person to save is the adjutant of the Mountain Folk Mercenary Alliance. He is currently the smartest guy among the mercenaries, and smart people often cherish their lives the most. If you save him once, I think he will be very good when Sunshine City officially expels the deep forest forces. Cooperation can save a lot of unnecessary trouble.

As for the third person to save...it's the frost giant next to Kristen. Without him, as a level 40 professional, the shadow can't do anything to Kristen at all. Holding him to death will play a role in weakening his attributes. If He didn't help her at the critical moment, and even let her little sister die suddenly on the spot...

That's just blowing hard when the dust is about to settle, and you have nothing to do but want to choke yourself one more time.

Under the influence of [Precision Throwing], Ji Ming's delivery was accurate. As soon as the potion bottle wrapped with several evil spells hit the ground, the burst of golden light and vitality shook away all the surrounding shadows, and automatically formed There was a protective cover, and no matter how the shadow tried, it could only make a sizzling sound like fat meat touching a hot pot.

However, others were not so lucky. By the time Ji Ming finished throwing away these three bottles of medicine, the group of mercenaries who were originally low-level and still in a state of weakness had disappeared without a trace, leaving only wailing. Echoes in the night sky.

The shadow came and went as quickly as it came. It greedily devoured all the life and energy around it and quickly shrank back to the manor. If it weren't for the equipment and wealth that had become clean again, scattered all over the place, it would have been as if it had never appeared.

Even players will be frightened when faced with such a scene. After all, no matter how disgusting living corpses and spiders are, they are still real monsters. This kind of thing is completely immersive and weird, even if you know it is fake. A person who would break out in a cold sweat, so after the mask was removed, the faces of several people looked as pale as one after another.

"What is this?"

"It doesn't matter what it is! Silly children, run!"

Interrupting Eleanor's trembling doubts, Ji Ming drove them to escape towards the Holy Light Church. Now the player has completely controlled the situation. For the NPC, there is only a glimmer of hope there.

But the footsteps of death still came too fast. Before they ran out of the first intersection, only Ji Ming before, but now everyone except him, felt that their hearts were being squeezed hard. For a moment.

That is the disgust that creatures naturally feel when they see countless holes, countless eyes, countless tentacles, and countless joints. It is the unavoidable feeling of cold hands and feet and numb scalp when facing danger. It is the last breath of the deceased. What a shame, that's a terrifying predator approaching quickly.
