Putting away the samples he collected, Elvin glanced around and found that the rest were all the same. The diversity of creatures in the Shadow Realm was obviously not as rich as in the material world.
"Let's go deeper."
With the seabirds' scouting in advance, they had the advantage of intelligence. The three of them did not encounter any accidents along the way.
In fact, there were no accidents on this seemingly large ring-shaped island in the first place. It could even be said that it was a little too peaceful!
It took about an hour for the three Transcendent Knight to cover most of the island with their physical strength.
Strangely, although they collected a lot of plants with rich characteristics of the Shadow Realm, they did not see any animals.
The only special scenery was that the island was covered with translucent obsidian of various sizes. There were traces of lava cooling after a volcanic eruption. This place was like a volcanic island formed by a volcanic eruption.
Later, they found a small volcanic hot spring on the island that emitted the smell of sulfur, which proved that their guess was correct.
However, even if it was a volcanic island, it should not have only plants and no animals, right?
"Did the animals living on the island all run to the sea in the Shadow Realm before the invasion of the Black Dyke? How come we don't even see a worm? "
Elvin had asked his seabirds to scout the island several times, but they still found nothing.
However, Elvin had clearly seen some signs of being gnawed on some of the plants before, which proved that there should be some animals living here.
Next to him, Milan knew that it was time for her to do something.
"Let me try!"
Turning a blind eye to the obvious signs of biological activity on the island was not their original intention to explore this island.
Also, the Storm Horn would stay here for about a day. Unknown creatures from the Other World were always an uncertain and dangerous factor.
Therefore, after hearing Milan's volunteer, Elvin nodded and let her cast the spell at ease.
Milan took out a spirit pendulum with a purple crystal pendant attached to a silver chain. When looking for something in the real world, a spirit pendulum was obviously more efficient and direct than a crystal ball.
First, she held the purple crystal pendant in her palms and prayed silently.
"Find the place with the strongest vitality on this island!"
Then, she held the silver chain with one hand and let the purple crystal pendant hang down vertically.
Der — —
The ethereal incantation resonated with the spiritual world and echoed like an empty valley. The invisible wind penetrated the two worlds and connected the information branch extended from the spiritual world with the spiritual pendulum.
[Witchcraft: Spiritual Detection]
In an instant, the rhombus-shaped amethyst emitted a purple glow that could only be seen with spiritual vision. As if it was being pulled by an invisible hand, it began to spin on its own. After spinning three times, it slowly pointed in a direction.
"Got it, follow me!"
Excitedly calling out to Elvin and Gary, Milan had already taken the lead to run in the direction the three of them came from.
A few hundred meters away from the innermost lagoon near the inner circle of the ring-shaped island reef, there was a huge piece of opaque obsidian.
Compared to the other rocks on the island, this four-meter-tall rock was like a small hill. Even if one were to search the entire island, they might not be able to find many.
He followed the spirit pendulum and the others to the obsidian.
"The most obvious signs of life on the island are right here!"
As she spoke, Milan had already extended her finger, which was soaked in spiritual light, and lightly tapped on the bottom of the giant obsidian rock, which was about one-fifth of the way up.
Rip!
There was the sound of paper tearing in their ears.
In fact, nothing had happened to the obsidian rock, but it was as if a dark curtain had been torn off in front of the three of them, and their vision immediately changed.
At this time, when they looked at the obsidian rock again, there was a dark hole, about the size of a washbasin, where Milan's finger had just tapped.
Snap!
Without needing Elvin's instructions, Milan had already snapped her fingers and released a light ball made by an illumination spell, completely illuminating the inside of the hole.
"Oh? It's an egg? No wonder the signs of life were so weak. "
Under the white light, there was a pure black egg the size of a volleyball lying alone in the hole.
Even under the bright light, there was no reflection at all. The three of them could only find it because it was darker than the surrounding obsidian.
Before this, none of them had really seen the so-called shadow creatures.
Even the tall, rich, and handsome "wizards" among the Extraordinaires, as long as they did not have the ability to travel between planes, it was basically impossible for them to have any interaction with the Shadow Realm in their lifetime.
To most of the Extraordinaires, the Shadow Realm and the shadow creatures were more like an ancient legend.
Of course, their understanding of the characteristics of the shadow creatures was also very limited.
Even for Elvin, who had copied half of the library, the characteristics of the creatures in the other world had already exceeded the limits of his knowledge system. There might be more in the depths of the library, but it was not something he could come into contact with at the moment.
However, the unique concealment method of this egg had opened up their train of thought.
"You guys said that there's an egg hidden by the shadow barrier here, could it be …"
He reached out and took out the black egg, gently stroking the smooth and hard eggshell that was like a piece of jade.
Elvin's gaze was slightly solemn as he looked at the countless obsidian rocks of various sizes on the island.
Pew! Pew!
Pew! Pew!
But it was not Milan or Gary who responded to him, but a series of strange cries.
This small piece of the "shadow barrier" was broken, and it was like poking a large hornet's nest.
The sun was just right at this time.
However, in the shadow cast by every rock on the island, pairs of eyes that looked like rubies were suddenly opened, followed by continuous squeaking noises that were even more intense and manic than the croaking of frogs in the pond in summer!
Then, countless pleated lizards that were more than two meters long, with spikes on their backs and forked tongues, darted out of the shadows on the island and rushed in the direction of the three people without hesitation.
The world was vast, and many creatures in the material world had not been named, let alone the creatures in the other world. For the time being, they were called "shadow lizards".
These shadow lizards charged, and their bodies were constantly changing instinctively. Under the sunlight, they became normal animals in the material world.
If a shadow lizard slowed down when it passed by the shadows, it would slowly become a thin shadow and merge into it. It looked like it was gradually changing from a three-dimensional to a two-dimensional world.
Perhaps this was just an instinctive talent of most creatures in the shadow world, but for humans living in the material world, it was an incomprehensible and troublesome skill.
It was conceivable that when they were in the shadow state, without the corresponding transcendent means, even large-caliber cannons might not be able to hurt these otherworldly visitors.
"Wow —!"
Looking at the rolling black torrent, Milan, the initiator, opened her mouth wide and uttered an exclamation in a daze.
"What the hell are you 'wow' about? Run!"
After cursing, Elvin dragged Milan and ran in the direction of the longboat. Even if they were all ordinary lizards, they could not resist the endless tide of enemies!
Not to mention the otherworldly visitors, who were obviously demonized creatures!
For Knight and low-grade wizards who did not have large-scale attacks, such a large number of monsters was even more difficult to deal with than the "final boss". If they were accidentally drowned, they would be finished.
At this time, they had also realized that the "masters" on the island did not happen to leave before the "black dyke" invaded the material world.
It was because they suddenly came to a world full of sunlight, and these shadow creatures, who were not used to the light environment, chose to hide in the shadows that made them feel more comfortable to hibernate.
It was not until Milan poked the shadow barrier that hid the egg that these giant lizards were awakened.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The three of them jumped onto the longboat as fast as they could. Just as Gary and Milan picked up the oars and rowed with all their might.
Elvin had already scattered a large number of seeds that looked like date pits. Then, he loudly chanted the activation spell.
Flo —
The lively spell resonated strongly with the natural energy that was everywhere in this world.
Pa!
Amidst the vibrant green Transcendent aura.
A large number of date pits that looked like pig iron instantly exploded. Countless black thorns quickly grew and hardened.
In the blink of an eye, a thorny forest that was dozens of meters wide grew on the shore. The thorns were dense and cold, and they were not inferior to iron spears in the slightest.
Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!
The thorns grew at an explosive speed. When they pierced through the air, they even let out an ear-piercing hiss like that of a snake!
According to the records in the secret scroll "Flesh Sacrifice", the first great wizard who developed the plant "Black Thorn" had already unleashed its destructive power to the extreme.
A single seed could create a thorny forest that stretched for several kilometers.
At the same time, this was the prerequisite of the "Activation School's" exclusive [Military Witchcraft — Black Thorn Forest]!
Squeak! Squeak!
Amid the ear-piercing chirps.
The "shadow lizards" that surged like a tidal wave were close at hand.
