The Lord of Shadow is the name of this gatekeeper boss.
Originally it was just a relatively powerful data stream generated by Xiao Jin after being inserted into the neural network according to the plot.
But just like the Great Protector, the world that was originally built by neural networks, and the characters constructed at the same time, were taken over by those etheric creatures as their own.
The Great Protector is not the Great Protector.
Likewise, the Lord of Shadows is no longer the original Lord of Shadows.
Of course, after all, the Lord of Shadows originally had a much higher status than the Great Protector.
The etheric creature that occupied him was also much stronger than the one that occupied the Great Protector before.
Even if it's just a fake body, there are still levels.
What's more important is that, originally just to maintain his character, after the Lord of Shadows finished putting on that cool look, before he had time to look at the target, Xiao Jin rushed up and hit him blindly, disrupting the rhythm.
But when Li Yi joined the battle group, the Lord of Shadows could no longer maintain his deliberately created persona.
The "big meal" he had dreamed of was right in front of him, so he couldn't care less about maintaining his personality.
This unabashed attitude also surprised Li Yi.
Good guy, you are no longer pretending!
"Ah! Fresh blood!"
Seeing the shadow lord's eyes glowing green and rushing towards him, at that moment, Li Yi felt as if he had become Tang Monk.
Thinking of what Xiao Jin once said, there are countless similar etheric creatures hiding in the darkness of this world. They are all secretly coveting Li Yi's extremely vast mobile spiritual power warehouse.
He felt hairy all over his body.
Especially when he saw himself, his original aloof persona disappeared in an instant, and he pounced on him like a vicious dog pouncing on food.
This feeling is even worse.
Let me first explain something here.
That is, etheric creatures are actually divided into two categories.
One category is the same as the previous Great Protector.
That is a relatively weak etheric creature.
This unknown creature is not able to survive well in the etheric space.
Strictly speaking, there is a barrier between reality and the ether that is difficult to overcome, similar to a threshold.
The Great Protector is a creature that lives within this threshold between the etheric realm and reality.
This results in him possessing some characteristics of the ether and also possessing certain abilities in reality.
The previous Great Protector may have seen more creatures with strong bodies, so he also followed suit and trained his physical skills to a very high level.
It's a pity that I met such a weirdo as Xiao Jin.
But because it still possesses some ether attributes.
Therefore, the Great Protector did not actually die, but became weak to a certain extent.
In fact, the reason why he pretended to be the Great Protector before was largely to intercept the intention of the Lord of Shadows.
The Great Protector is very clear.
If it cannot be cut off in advance, the feast will fall into the hands of the Lord of Shadows.
That basically means there is no chance.
Because the Lord of Shadows is an ethereal creature in the true sense!
It's not comparable to a dabbler like the Great Protector.
Opponents treat him as a feast, but this feast is not so easy to eat.
Li Yi is very fast and flexible, but these do not pose a problem to the Lord of Shadows.
Holding the Great Sword of Dark Light, he just waved his hand slightly.
Li Yi, who originally moved flexibly and tried to get closer, immediately fell into a situation with nowhere to go.
That sword actually divided the space here into two halves!
And their original planned course of action was abandoned.
Originally he took a zigzag route.
But after the space was divided into two out of thin air, this style of play, which was very particular about action routes, instantly went bankrupt.
"It's ridiculous, you don't think this trick will work, do you?"
As soon as the words fell, the originally bright and empty environment was suddenly swept away by the influx of darkness, becoming dim and dull.
And when the shadow climbed on Li Yi, he immediately felt an indescribable fatigue.
The sleepiness that hit him at that moment even made him couldn't help but start fighting with his eyelids. It wasn't until he realized something was wrong and he bit his tongue to force himself back that he felt better.
There's something wrong with this shade!
Li Yi immediately retreated like lightning.
When his whole body retreated from the shadow, most of the tide-like fatigue dissipated in an instant.
But before he could take a breath, the strange shadow immediately followed him.
This time, as if there was a spirit, he rushed straight towards her direction.
The speed was very fast, and just as Li Yigang had time to start, the shadow had already climbed up on him again.
This time the speed was faster, and those "alive" shadows rushed toward Li Yi with lightning speed.
However, because of the experience last time, Li Yi failed to let the other party succeed this time. He quickly found a position so that the shadow would not be affected.
"...What are you doing?"
"Help me block it."
Xiao Jin looked helplessly at the host hiding behind him.
Because his physique was similar to that of Li Yi, Li Yi was able to block the incoming shadows like a tide.
And the conscious body is not afraid of this kind of shadow control!
This also makes Xiaojin the best shield.
"I admit that your mind works very fast, but this is not always the solution, right? Just look at it if you don't believe me!"
Following Xiao Jin's gaze, Li Yi's expression suddenly changed.
It turned out that all the space near him had been covered by the shadows from the Lord of Shadows.
The surroundings were filled with darkness. Except for some light spots that could barely be released from Xiao Jin's body, Li Yi had no place to stand at this moment.
and......
"And haven't you noticed yet? The shadow on my body is about to be swallowed up by these living shadows. By then, I'm afraid you will be in danger."
Li Yi did not panic, but calmed down.
After thinking for a moment he said.
"We have to first figure out what these things are and why I have a strong urge to sleep when I touch these things."
"If nothing else, this should be the power of shadow, but compared with the power of shadow I know, there is still a big gap. It is conceivable that this guy's power has not recovered, and he is in the same situation as me. A period of extreme weakness.”
Listening to Xiao Jin's somewhat complacent tone, Li Yi didn't know where this guy's pride came from.
"So there is only one effect, right? Hypnosis? What is the principle of this thing? If you can know it, you can find a way to overcome it. What do you know? Tell me!"
"I don't know much."
Xiao Jin shook his head and said he was helpless.
"I only know that the power of shadow is the most widespread power of rules in the etheric world. This power can make people fall into eternal sleep. Why should humans rest? Many people can give many reasons. But in fact, this is just a trace of shadow power leaking out from the etheric world. It is still a version that has been watered down a lot after passing the threshold. To be honest, I was surprised that you didn't fall for it immediately. After all, it was a Just touching it can turn a living person into a living dead, even though this guy doesn't have much control over the power of shadow."
Hearing this, Li Yi couldn't help but be surprised.
"You are not an etheric creature, how can you know so clearly?"
Xiao Jin was speechless for a moment, then said angrily.
"Hey! Have you figured out the situation? Isn't it more important to worry about your own life now?"
Li Yi thought so too.
Although Xiao Jin's unclear words were obviously concealing something, he didn't care and urged him to reveal more information quickly.
"This kind of shadow power is difficult to deal with, but it is easy to solve, but it is actually very simple."
"How to do it?"
"You just need to bring in some light, not much, just enough to cover yourself."
Xiaojin said lightly.
"..."
Time is running out, and there is no time to think about the reason. After all, it was clearly bright just now, but it was covered by shadow in an instant. Now Xiao Jin said that as long as there is a little light, it can be broken.
This is not difficult, Li Yi has a lot of belongings with him.
Regardless of whether it is useful or not, he will see it and bring it with him.
Such as a lighter.
But a small lighter is obviously not enough to cover the whole body.
So he thought of a way.
I found a mirror and split it in half, put one piece on the front and one on the front, and then put the lighter in front, so that both sides could shine a little bit of firelight, and at the same time, it could barely cover the whole body.
And when he did this, he immediately discovered that the shadow that was still trying to spread just now actually receded like a tide.
It actually works!
Li Yi was stunned!
