Along with the old shaman's screams, the giant mosquito flapped its transparent wings and turned into a stream of light. It quickly flew around the small house.
With just a few flicks of its fingers, it had flown to every corner of the mushroom house. It didn't even let go of the dark corners.
Unfortunately, it didn't find anything!
Listening to the buzzing sound of the giant mosquito on his shoulder, Yek couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.
Did the sacred tool sense wrongly? However, he had trained this giant mosquito himself. It was born with the ability to detect and sense any life aura. If there was an enemy nearby, the giant mosquito should have found it …
The old shaman Yek couldn't help but mutter to himself because of all these contradictions.
Yek used some small witchcraft to check again, but he still didn't find anything. Only then did the old shaman Yek confirm that the sound of the long spear was a false alarm. As for the reason, it could only be attributed to the mysterious and unpredictable God's will …
Yek heaved a sigh of relief. He grabbed the giant mosquito and shook it slightly. Then, the mosquito turned into a wooden puppet. Hanging it on his waist, Yek stood up and stretched out his skinny arm. He wanted to pull out the long spear that was stuck in the sacrificial offering.
However, as soon as he relaxed his mind, a strange black humanoid figure emerged from the dark shadow under his body. The sharp claws on his left and right arms silently pierced into the left side of his waist and the back of his head. Then, the claws started to vibrate inside.
There was an enemy …
The strong feeling of death shrouded Yek's mind.
By the time it sensed the danger, the Shadow Fiend's attack had already landed on its body, and it exploded with full force.
Two flows of shadow power came out from the front of the sharp claws and exploded directly in Yek's heart and skull. Yek's life force was strangled in a blink of an eye.
Yek didn't even have a chance to resist. His body trembled and then slowly softened. The Shadow Demon gently 'pressed' on his body and sat him down.
The Shadow Demon supported Yek's body and let it lean against the stone wall. Then, it closed its eyes, which were wide open in anger. Looking from afar, people would only think that Wizard Yek had fallen into a deep sleep due to exhaustion. Who would have thought that he had actually been assassinated?
After setting up the scene, the Shadow Demon floated in the air and stored the bloody spear in the middle of the stone hall into his Storage Ring. Then, his body flickered and he snuck out of the mushroom hut.
To create this Tier 4 Shadow Demon, Grim had invested a lot of resources.
Not to mention the Storage Ring, Grimm even threw the treasures of darkness that he had just obtained onto the Shadow Demon without any hesitation.
Ring of Shadows … Breath of Darkness …
These two Tier 4 Magic Tools were with the Shadow Fiend.
Apart from that, Grimm also asked the Shadow Fiend to bring the Shadow Orb with him.
It couldn't be helped. If he wanted to fight in the lair of an indigenous God, he wouldn't be able to suppress the situation if he didn't have something up his sleeves.
However, killing a Grade 3 old geezer and obtaining a Grade 4 Magic Weapon was still a good deal!
In any case, with the Winged Serpent God's strength, it would be impossible for him to create a higher grade Magic Weapon. Even the Bloody Spear in front of him was a Tier 4 Sacred Weapon that the Winged Serpent God had spent over a hundred years of faith power to create.
He had placed it with the old Witch Doctor Yek to make it more convenient for him to descend.
The Winged Serpent God had not stepped out of its lair for thousands of years. Usually, everything that happened in the Troll Nation was handled by the Troll Chieftain and Yek. The Trolls would only pray to the Winged Serpent God when they encountered problems that they couldn't solve.
This Tier 4 Sacred Weapon was what the Winged Serpent God relied on to project its power.
With the power of the Bloody Spear, the Winged Serpent God could project its power outside of its lair. This way, it could radiate its power to every corner of the Troll Nation without leaving its lair.
Of course, the premise was that the Bloody Spear was under the control of the Trolls.
Now that the Bloody Spear was in the Shadow Demon's hands, the Winged Serpent God would have one less weapon to use if it wanted to display its power.
This was a good thing for Grimm, who wanted to cause trouble!
The Shadow Fiend transformed into a dark shadow, constantly jumping and shuttling between the shadows. Sometimes, it would hide behind a stone pillar, sometimes it would hide under a patrolling Troll guard with a spear, and sometimes it would hide in the shadow of a flickering torch …
No matter how small the shadow was, it could become a space for the Shadow Demon to reside in.
Looking out from every angle of the Shadow Dimension, the world he saw was so strange and twisted. It was completely different from what Grimm had seen with his human eyes. This was something that Grimm found hard to accept with his human habits. However, the Shadow Demon seemed to be at ease. It was like a fish in water.
Most of the time, the Shadow Demon would choose to reside in the shadow of a patrolling Troll guard. Through a layer of hazy, illusory gray barrier, he would watch two black feet glide over his head. Then, he would observe the constantly shaking gray world through the gap between the Troll's legs.
This kind of vision and perception made Grimm dizzy!
The Shadow Demon's innate potential in controlling the power of shadows was much higher than Grimm's.
Hence, Grimm did not overstep his boundaries and personally control the Shadow Demon's body. Instead, he controlled its every action through small and large commands.
This time, the Shadow Demon did not infiltrate anywhere else. It was the majestic temple that stood at the top of the city.
At this place, the Troll Warriors and Troll Hunters were no longer in charge of patrolling with spears. Those who could step into the temple and protect the Winged Serpent God in the Holy Domain were all carefully selected Grade 2 Trolls.
However, they only patrolled the perimeter of the temple and did not dare to step into it.
Therefore, when the Shadow Fiend escaped from the shadow of a temple guard, it chose to hide in the huge shadow cast by the thick stone pillars of the tall temple on the jade white floor.
Through the shadow, the Shadow Demon and Grimm could slowly extend their spiritual perception into the temple.
The temple was empty, and not a single person could be seen.
However, there was a huge stone platform in the center of the temple, and on it stood a lifelike statue of a Winged Serpent.
The cold scales, the strange spindle-shaped body, the strange wings that spread out, the long snake tail that coiled up behind it, the terrifying fangs that revealed their sharpness, and the strange vertical pupils that flickered with a cold light …
It was clearly just a stone statue, but in Grimm's eyes, there was a trace of the unique spiritual aura of a high-grade lifeform. It stood on the stone platform in the center of the temple, and its faint spiritual undulations covered every inch of space, leaving no chance for anyone to sneak in.
If Grimm and the Shadow Demon's aura had not completely fused with the shadow aura cast by the stone pillar, it would have been difficult to hide from the impeccable spiritual perception of the stone statue.
Here, Grimm did not dare to leak even the slightest bit of his aura. He could only use the Shadow Demon as a springboard to passively sense everything in the temple.
The Winged Serpent God was not here, but there was definitely a spatial singularity that led to its lair.
There was no need to ask Grimm how he knew, because Alice had told him.
But how did Alice find out? Hehe, to put it bluntly, ever since Alice had advanced to the fourth tier, this Otherworld Goddess no longer had any privacy in her eyes. If necessary, Alice could even "peep" at how she pampered the male feathered serpent guards under her.
Although the profession of Destiny Witches was somewhat weak in terms of combat power, they were terrifyingly strong in certain aspects!
According to Alice's description, the spatial singularity was located in the chest of the Winged Serpent Statue.
It was hollow, and it would not be a problem for it to contain a spatial singularity the size of a fingertip.
If it was just Grimm alone, it would be extremely difficult to sneak into the Winged Serpent God's lair without the spiritual consciousness attached to the statue.
It might even be impossible.
But now, with the help of the Shadow Demon, it was a piece of cake.
As soon as Grimm gave the order, the Shadow Orb hidden in the Shadow Demon's body trembled slightly.
Silently, as long as there was a shadow in the entire space of the shrine, a slight ripple could not help but appear. Although the ripple was small, it could not escape the perception of the Winged Serpent God's spiritual consciousness.
The moment the shadow energy 'rippled', the Winged Serpent God's main body's consciousness was sent over.
The strange vertical pupils of the Winged Serpent God suddenly lit up, and a huge and surging spiritual consciousness instantly enveloped the entire temple, quickly calming the sudden shadow ripple.
Hmm? Was it a strange method created by an enemy, or was there something wrong with the Shadow Realm that affected this place?
With all sorts of doubts, the Winged Serpent God's main body's consciousness turned into a dense giant net and quickly scanned the entire temple, but still did not find anything out of the ordinary.
If there was no enemy … then there must be something wrong with the Shadow Realm that affected the material plane!
In the past, the cautious Winged Serpent God would have definitely tried to extend its spiritual consciousness into the Shadow Realm to investigate the cause of the shadow energy ripple. However, long-term mental and physical exhaustion had made it lazy and tired.
Moreover, as soon as it left, the little life in the giant egg in the mysterious lair started to become restless.
This situation made the Winged Serpent God restless, and it did not bother to investigate the cause of the shadow energy ripple. It turned around and returned to its lair.
Little did it know that the moment its main body's consciousness was projected and passed through the spatial singularity, a fellow that was even more adept at concealing his power had already openly slipped into its lair.
