Age of Heroes, ten consecutive guarantees.

Chapter 17 Shadow Realm

Ahead is a trap.

But Bai Yu didn't notice.

After coming to this world, his thinking still stays in the original society, and he doesn't have that keen insight.

Living in a safe society has already formed a habit. Of course, I don’t think about what will be under my feet, just like ordinary people walking on the street can’t prevent themselves from stepping on a bear trap. A thumbtack, and that's bad luck.

Walking without looking under his feet would cost Bai Yu a lot.

Danger lurks in the shadows—the words are written on the cover pages of textbooks.

It's not that he hasn't seen it, but he doesn't care.

Bai Yu's footsteps had already lifted, and he was about to step on that shadow crack.

Could he have realized it?
he can not.

So can he escape?
The answer is... yes.

Because a shoulder slammed into his back hard, Bai Yu was sent flying more than three meters away.

The juvenile weighed more than 1.8 kilograms and was nearly [-] meters tall. He was almost an adult, but the force from behind directly made him take off on the spot.

boom!Bai Yu didn't fall hard right away, he rolled on the spot and landed smoothly after unloading his strength. He supported himself with one hand, with doubts in his eyes: "You..."

Before he could ask "Why are you?" Tao Rusu yelled, "Look at your feet, you want to die, you idiot!"

Bai Yu didn't notice the threat under his feet, but Tao Rusu did, and after seeing it, he rushed to save him with a [-]-meter sprint.

The crack in the shadow was three meters directly in front of Bai Yu's line of sight.

This time, he looked down and saw it, and he couldn't help being stunned for a while. His lack of common sense made him unable to tell what it was. It was like a BUG displayed in an image stuck on the ground. He could only guess from Tao Rusu's reaction. This may be similar to the previous Shadow World, but the size of the crack is not very large, less than half a meter.

Tao Rusu supported her knees and gasped for breath. She was already very tired from running all the way. Although the distance was not long, it consumed a lot of physical and mental energy.

Just as she bent down, the crack in the shadow that was originally only half a meter wide suddenly expanded.

A strangely shaped, several-meter-long flexible strip full of bone spurs popped out of it.

Sweeping around directly, he bound Tao Rusu's calf with incomparable precision.

The moment he touched it, Bai Yu saw blood splatter and heard the sound of bones breaking.

The human body couldn't resist the force of breaking the bones. She fell to the ground and was dragged to the ground crack at an extremely fast speed.

All this happened so fast that Bai Yu only had time to take half a step forward... This sudden situation was completely out of his imagination, like a crocodile coming out of a manhole cover on the ground. People are just as incredible.

Tao Rusu's body was half submerged in the ground in the blink of an eye, but she didn't ask Bai Yu for help or stretch out her hand.

The severe pain made her frown tightly, and before her body completely sank into the shadows, she uttered a word.

"--run!"

The shadow spreads out with ripples.

The crack didn't heal immediately, but Tao Rusu disappeared as if she had sunk into a pool of water.

Bai Yu's body was stiff, his thoughts were a little confused, and the next moment he raised his left hand and slapped himself to revive his soul.

No matter what the situation is now, calm down...analyze the situation and make a judgment.

There are two choices.

[-]. Leave and find someone to rescue; [-]. Jump down and save someone by yourself.

Choose one, it may be too late to call the teacher, how many seconds can Tao Rusu live in the face of a monster that can easily break human bones?She is not a transcendent, with a broken leg, she can't even escape and delay time.

Option [-]: You need to have enough combat power. No one knows what's going on next, or even what level of monster it is... If you jump down, you won't be able to save it, and you may even die.

. . . to live is to have hope.

...I have died once, do I want to die again?
Cowardly thinking rampages in the prison of reason.

Bai Yu fell into hesitation. He is an ordinary person and cannot get rid of this kind of hesitation. This is a matter of course. It is the instinct of creatures to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Human beings are selfish creatures, and human nature cannot stand the test. , What's wrong with being wise and safe?
Yes, ordinary people cannot jump without hesitation, even if it is the benefactor who saved them.

However, Heroic Spirits can.

[Projection activation]

...Grandpa, please help me.

The moment the heroic spirit's projection covered his body, the so-called confusion was dispelled. Ren Xia's tenacity of will and determination to save people even omitted the period of thinking, and his instinct directly drove his body towards the shrinking shadow crack. jump down.

……

It hurts, it hurts.

Tao Rusu saw that her left leg was broken and twisted, covered with several blood holes, and the dark white bone spurs penetrated the flesh and blood.

It was the first time she had suffered this kind of pain, and the pain could not wake her up immediately.

The moment she fell into the shadow world, she was thrown out, her body hit the wall, tinnitus and dizziness hit her, and her brain concussed.

In the chaotic vision, she could barely see the appearance of this disaster beast.

As a student with excellent academic performance, she has learned similar knowledge, so she recognized it at a glance.

This is a beast.

The barge beast is about the size of a bull, and its body is covered with bone spurs. It is one of the more common ancient disaster beasts.

It has a short temper, is extremely aggressive, and is carnivorous.

Bad luck.

It happened to be a barge beast... Barge beasts usually don't appear in the shadow layer.

The shallowest layer in the shadow world is the shadow layer, which is relatively close to the real world, and the surrounding scenery is completely reproduced one by one, just like the shadow of the real world.

Calamity beasts and shadow species are active in the shadow world, but most of them are uninitiated bastards... However, even some bastards still require superhumans to hunt and kill them.

Under normal circumstances, a transcendent of the same level cannot win against a disaster beast of the same level, and must be suppressed by level.

Tao Rusu realized that he was going to die when he saw the beast.

Although the barbarian is only a first-order disaster beast, it is very aggressive and will not let go of its prey. If it catches it, it will be eaten by them.

Her leg was already broken, and she couldn't escape in time... She didn't have that much strength anymore, she almost lost her mobility when she fell, and her consciousness was dizzy... The human body is so fragile.

She could feel the barge's breath approaching, its foul-smelling breath coming out of its open mouth.

Death is near.

Tao Rusu's expression was very calm.

I don't know if it was because of a bleeding head and a concussion, but she felt very calm, without hysterical fear.

Although she was a little bit unwilling, she would not regret it. She did not regret saving people, even if she lost her life because of saving people...

She knew that she was not such a great person, and the reason why she rushed to save people desperately was because she realized that she had to do so...

She cannot repeat the same mistakes.

A few days ago, she was sitting in the corridor and saw the shadow world swallowing up the entire Class [-] of Senior [-].

As the first witness, she should have informed the others and immediately called everyone to leave the teaching building. The dangerous world of shadows may expand at any time, and the entire school may not be able to survive.

But she didn't do anything. Instead, she was so frightened that her legs limp in the corridor, and then she ran out of the teaching building immediately, and ran to the playground alone.

When she came back to her senses, she realized her ugliness.

Although it did not bring about serious consequences, it still became the source of pain that tormented her for several days and it was an inner nightmare that she could not avoid.

So she knew that she would definitely rush over... She desperately needed a chance, a chance to forgive herself, a chance to prove that she only made mistakes but could still make up for it.

However, she underestimated the variables in the shadow world.

The price is her life.

Tao Rusu's eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and the only consolation she could do was...at least she didn't repeat the same mistakes, and at least she saved one person. This is not a meaningless sacrifice.

She thought to herself, and was about to close her eyes to meet her end.

boom!
Gunshots!

Sparks shot out, and a little bit of warm blood splashed on her cheeks. One of the eyes of the beast was pierced. It let out a painful roar and rolled on the spot. Its body was huddled like a pangolin, relying on its thick skin and The bone spurs on the body act as a defense against the pouring bullets.

Tao Rusu's blurred vision froze on a figure.

Wearing a dark suit, holding a firearm, holding guns in both hands, shooting while walking.

The footsteps are stepping on the drums, and the gunfire is catering to the beat, like a metal symphony echoing in the ear.

She didn't see who it was.

I only remember that silhouette deeply.
