I really only stop

Being surrounded by shadows doesn't really feel like anything special.From Lu Xi's own point of view, it was just a sudden darkness in front of his eyes, and the next moment, the positions of everyone changed drastically.

dim.

This was Lu Xi's first impression of the surrounding situation.

Completely different from the vibrant fantasy orc village in the imagination, in this secret realm called [Hidden Shadow], the sky appears to be covered with a gray color as if covered by something.In contrast, Lu Xi and the others were standing on a piece of hard yellow land, and its desolation was in stark contrast to the big forest where everyone was in the last second.

Moreover, there was a slightly bitter earthy smell in the air—if it was up to Lu Xi to judge, there would be nothing wrong with using this place as the background board of the end of the world.

However, these are not the most important.

Frowning and looking at the sky, then looking down at a place in the distance, Lu Xi felt suspicious.

...why is there no sun in the sky?

As he could see, the gray sky of the Rift was empty.The sun that was supposed to hang high there disappeared as if it had been wiped out of existence.On the contrary, under the distant horizon, a beam of light that is definitely not bright shoots straight into the sky at right angles, bringing a dim light to this space through the Tyndall effect of the turbid air.

"That is our [Shadow Sun]."

As if seeing the shock in Lu Xi's eyes, Broca explained softly:

"Different from the outside world, there is no natural sun inside Hidden Shadow Secret Realm. It is the shadow sun that provides us with light that is not too bright, barely meeting the needs of everyone's planting, living and other activities. If it loses its light, Hidden Shadow Secret Realm will be Will be instantly plunged into eternal shadow."

"Well, if that's the case, why don't the members of the Shadow Wolf Clan move away?"

The dull and gloomy sky like a sandstorm obviously made Nana a little nervous, she hugged the puppet tightly in her hand:

"Won't it be inconvenient without the sun? If you move outside, won't you be able to live with peace of mind?"

"The shadow wolves are destined to be companions of the shadows, and to maintain a sense of crisis at all times is the root of a warrior's strength."

After being silent for a while, the little brother answered Nana's words:

"...Moreover, we also have our own persistence."

"What insistence! It's just a group of hard-headed people who are still sticking to the old rules!"

Angrily flashing her little canine teeth, Qianqian turned around and slipped into Yuxia's arms:

"Qianqian just hates this place! Qianqian wants to live outside with Mr. Prey and Sister Yuxia!"

"Qianqian! Don't mess around!"

After hearing this, Broca, who had always been tolerant of Qianqian, suddenly frowned, and reprimanded him in a blunt tone:

"You can't say things like that, remember, you're—"

"[Oh? Which naughty child said he hated our hometown?]"

A voice that had never been heard before suddenly sounded from all around, and the next moment, the shadow of the little brother suddenly became black and elongated.

Immediately afterwards, an old man with wolf ears wearing a gray cloth robe appeared from the shadows with a benign look.

----------------

"Ji, my lord priest!"

The moment his shadow grew longer, Brother Broca suddenly straightened his body and bowed to the shadow:

"That child Qianqian didn't do it on purpose, I believe, she also likes our hometown in her heart—"

"It's okay, everyone has heard about this child's naughty and naughty, I don't care about it. Compared to this..."

The old man turned his head to look at Lu Xi and his party. He didn't know if it was an illusion. The moment he saw the wolf ears on their heads, his dizzy old eyes suddenly flashed, and then he calmed down as if he had confirmed something:

"Broca, who are these strangers?"

"Master Priest, these are Wuying people I found when I was hunting outside. I have confirmed their identities, and they are indeed members of our family living outside, so I brought them back."

"Well, it's good."

Hearing this, the old man brushed his beard in satisfaction: "Every compatriot with our bloodline is the target of hidden shadow protection. After wandering in the outside world for countless generations, it is time for them to return to the embrace of the real shadow wolf clan. "

"That... interrupt."

Just when the old man was about to say something, Lu Xi suddenly raised his hand to take the conversation:

"What do you mean by Shadowless Clan? Are you the real Shadow Wolf Clan?"

On the way, the little brother didn't mention any information about this.Judging from the observation after getting acquainted with the little brother, he is obviously not the kind of character who will forget to say important things.

In other words, it's normal for the 'Shadowless People' played by Lu Xi and others not to know these things.Therefore, it is reasonable for Lu Xi to ask questions at this time.

As expected, after hearing Lu Xi's question, the old man chuckled and stretched out his hand to Lu Xi:

"This is really a negligence of the old man. Hello, the Wuying tribe from the outside world. The old man is called Harris. He is the highest priest of the Tibetan shadow werewolf family. You are all welcome here.”

……Will not have any problems.

Looking at the old man's friendly hand, Lu Xi hesitated for a second.

After many cheating incidents with the magic imprint, I have a great sense of resistance to the normal process of shaking hands + self-introduction. If this continues, I may suffer from the same social phobia as Nana.

However, no matter how lucky you are, it is impossible to meet two rare mark holders in a row.

It was only a short moment of distracted thinking, and the next moment, Lu Xi naturally held the hand extended by the old man:

"Hello, Mr. Harris. My name is Lu Xi. I'm probably a wandering werewolf picked up by Brother Broca from outside."

"...I've been wandering all the time, it's really hard work for you, child."

Patting Lu Xi's shoulder vigorously, Harris' eyes flashed a trace of pity and the elder's unique care for the younger generation:

"It doesn't matter, since you have returned to Shadow's embrace, the secret realm is your new home. The people living here are very enthusiastic, and they secretly tell you that as long as you invite them to drink such a small cup, you will immediately become the most popular in the crowd." Hot red man!"

"Haha, thank you, sir, for your suggestion."

Hearing the old man's hint that he intends to help him integrate into the environment as soon as possible, Lu Xi bowed slightly in a very polite way:

"Why don't I invite you to drink a small cup now, Mr. Priest? As a newcomer, we may have to trouble you in the future."

"It's easy to say, easy to say. Seeing such an outstanding young man return to the tribe, the old man's mood is rarely happy."

Gray-robed Harris nodded in satisfaction, and pointed in the direction of the distant village:

"Just take advantage of this opportunity, let the old man give you a good introduction to the situation of the secret realm."

Chapter 242 Cute Girl Chat Group

As Harris said, although the conditions in the secret realm are difficult, the people living inside seem to have good personalities.In addition to giving Harris a respectful salute, those who worked hard on the side of the road did not forget to give a friendly nod to Lu Xi and his party walking beside him.

"You are right, everyone is very enthusiastic."

Responding to the greetings of passers-by with a smile, Lu Xi said to Harris beside him: "Obviously we are all new faces that we have never seen before, but everyone greeted us very naturally. I thought it would be They're staring at them."

"That's natural. Although the faces are unfamiliar, the aura of the shadow wolf clan on you can't deceive people. Almost every few years, new clan members will be found back to the secret realm, and the residents have no time to welcome them. Look at such a disrespectful behavior."

Having said that, Harris looked seriously into Lu Xi's eyes:

"Don't have any psychological burden. Although you are shadowless people who grew up outside, since you have returned to the secret realm, you are a family. No one will reject and attack you because of this, you know?"

"Well, I remember."

Lu Xi nodded, and then asked: "However, what exactly does [Shadowless Man] mean? I feel like you have mentioned it many times."

"Actually, it's not that complicated. The shadowless people refer to the shadow wolves who were born and raised outside the Hidden Shadow Realm. In contrast, the Hidden Shadow Werewolves refer to the clansmen who have been growing up here—of course, those of you who have returned to the hidden realm only need to After going through the baptism of the ceremony and knowing the secret history of Cang Ying, you can also return to the queue of Cang Ying werewolves."

Harris brushed his beard and smiled: "Before receiving the protection of [Shadow], the strength of the shadowless people is often no different from that of ordinary werewolves. However, after you have been baptized by the ceremony, your strength will double. ——Before you, the old man has already greeted several shadowless people. After receiving the protection, the expressions on their faces can only be described as [ecstatic]."

Not only good words, but also free power protection?Is this the warmth that returning overseas Chinese feel?

On Harris' face, Lu Xi couldn't find any trace of malice against them.The eyes of this gray-robed old man with wolf ears are like the great sages who often appear in fantasy stories, deep, kind and full of wisdom.

However, there is a question about Qianqian——

Seeing what he wanted to say from Lu Xi's eyes, Harris took the lead and pointed to the largest building in the center of the village:

"Over there is the temple where the shadow sun is sacrificed. For more things, let's go there and discuss in detail."

Of course, Lu Xi couldn't find a reason to refuse: "Okay."

----------------

Lu Xi and Harris chatted happily in the front, while Brother Broca walked silently on the side.What they didn't know was that the girls walking behind took advantage of this moment to have a small meeting.

[Holy Art·Spiritual Link. 】

The group owner [Gentle Defender of Justice] has opened a group chat, now you can speak freely~

[The Demonic Dragon That Falls into the Sky in Seven Nights], [Today is also a Weak Girl], [White Ears Are Cute] joined the group chat.

[Seven Nights Fallen Demon Dragon] has been banned by the group leader for 1 minute.

[Gentle Defender of Justice]: This is a holy art that can communicate with the heart~ After seeing Osiris’s brain voice transmission technology, I think this may be very useful, so I made one with Holy Light A copycat version of Holy Art.

[White ears are cute]: Osiris?what is that?Why doesn't Qianqian know?

[Today is also a weak and weak girl]: Osiris is a city in the sky that we have explored before... However, you can develop a brand new holy art just by looking at it. Is it really Yuxia?

[Gentle Defender of Justice]: Huh?This is just the initial application of the Holy Light, right?Although the non-human race named Harris seems to have no malice towards us, this place is after all a secret place isolated from the outside world. I think it is necessary to keep a channel for secret communication.

[Today is also a weak girl]: Well, that's right.Qianqian, is what the old priest said just now true?

[White ears are so cute]: No way!That old man is a bad wolf through and through!He was the one who took the lead to let everyone bully Qianqian!

[Gentle Defender of Justice]:?

[White ears are cute and cute]: Yes, it is true!Please believe in Qianqian!

[Seven Nights Fallen Demonic Dragon]: Well, I, who has the demonic eye of chaos, also think there is something wrong with that old man——wait, wait, wait, wait!Please, Master Yushia!Please don't ban me!I have a reason!

[Gentle Defender of Justice]: (smiling expression) (smiling expression) Well, let's talk.

[Seven Nights Fallen Demon Dragon]: Thank you Lord Yuxia for giving me the opportunity to speak—I don’t know if you have noticed, although passers-by are greeting us warmly, but when their eyes look at Qianqian, The attitude suddenly changed.

[Today is also a weak and weak girl]: After being said by Celica... I seem to feel a little bit too.Obviously they were still smiling at us last second, but the moment they saw Qianqian, they immediately became expressionless and looked away as if avoiding them.

[White ears are cute]: Everyone has always been like this!Even if Qianqian delivered the most delicious fruits to everyone's door one by one, no one would take them away to eat... Qianqian is very sad... (crying) (crying)

hug.

Suddenly, she felt a pair of arms around her neck. Before Qian Qian could react, a gentle pulling force came from behind, and the next moment, she fell into a magnificent embrace.

[Gentle Defender of Justice]: Do you remember what I said, Qianqian?Don't take other people's eyes seriously, in the eyes of girls, just look at those who care about themselves.

[White ears are cute]: (blush) (blush)

[Seven Nights Fallen Dragon]: Yuxia is too good at it.

[Today is also a weak girl]: Yuxia is too good.

[Gentle Defender of Justice]: In short, we should follow behind Lu Xi and listen to what the non-human race said.The secret realm, the shadow sun, and this non-human priest who suddenly appeared... I always feel that there are some unknown secrets hidden behind his two diametrically opposed attitudes.

[Demon Dragon that Falls into Heaven in Seven Nights]: No!Pass!Under the absolute strength of my Seven Nights Fallen Dragon, I can use only one hand to cover a mere secret realm of hidden shadows——

The group owner [Gentle Defender of Justice] disbanded the group chat.

Zelika: "Hey! Listen to me!!!!"

Chapter 243 Maze and Secret Realm

Shadow Sun Temple, interior.

Compared with its not-so-small appearance, the space inside the temple is even more enormous.A space under the ground was dug out by manpower into a huge deep pit, and the inside of the deep pit was dark and deep, as if it had the magical power to swallow light.

"This is the [Shadow] we enshrine."

Noticing Lu Xi's shocking gaze, Harris introduced with a little pride:

"I would like to remind you, child. No one can know the depth of this hole. There are even legends that the ancestors who dug this hole have never returned, and their souls turned into undead to continue to increase the depth of the hole at the bottom."

Then I will ask Nana, the lord of weirdness, to make a few dolls on the spot, wouldn't your ancestors explode.

Wisely hiding this sentence deeply in his heart, Lu Xi nodded in agreement on the surface:

"It is indeed a very vivid offering. Your ancestors are really amazing to create such a spectacle with human power."
