Chapter 387 Frenzy 1

Endless black sea surged around him.

Li Cheng颐 was like a fish swimming in the black water, enveloped in a beam of white light, rapidly passing through layers of black water, rushing towards a huge colored vortex in the distance.

Unlike last time, after opening the Fei Gate this time, he could already perceive the surrounding situation.

The black sea was still pitch black and impossible to perceive, but he could sense the many blind spots and mysterious objects floating within it.

The light beam channel in the black sea was like a clean white silk thread, silent and straight, heading towards Midraan.

Whoosh!

In the blink of an eye, he had disappeared into the vortex.

In the distant black sea, a blurred and huge phantom, with countless wings on its back, was gradually becoming clearer.

But at the moment when Li Cheng頤 entered the vortex, the clarity of this huge phantom seemed to be covered with a layer of mist again, instantly becoming more blurred.

Caw.

A harsh and unpleasant crow's call woke Li Cheng頤 from his stupor.

Cold rain hit his face, slid down his cheek, and fell into the moist black mud below.

In the middle of the vast black earth, he lay quietly in a large pit, his heavy armor silently disintegrating, turning into black particles that slowly dissipated.

Not only that, but everything he carried with him was disintegrating at this moment, turning into black particles.

Even the life-sustaining clothes covering him did not remain. Only the miniature return door, which he had stuffed into the flesh of his arm halfway, remained.

"Ugh" Li Cheng頤 slowly got up from the ground, completely naked, with only wisps of strange gray gas lingering around him.

That was death energy.

He looked around.

In the distant sky, a blood-red sun was gradually setting, dyeing all the clouds blood-red.

The earth was pitch black, with no grass, only black soil that resembled a mixture of mud and ink.

Looking left and right, there was a boundless plain.

A few black, twisted, dead trees stood dozens of meters away.

Several black-feathered, red-eyed crows stood on the branches.

Hiss.

Li Cheng頤 took a light breath, faintly smelling blood in the wind.

'Is this Midraan?'

With a thought, he tried to put on the Flower Scale Armor.

But strangely, countless purple petals rapidly appeared, then quickly and weakly scattered.

He couldn't condense any Flower Scale Armor at all.

'What's going on here!?'

Li Cheng頤 was startled and raised his hand to release a Radiant Force Field.

Fortunately, Flower Language could still be used, but the strength and range were much, much smaller.

'No, that's not right.' He suddenly reacted.

He quickly switched to another Flower Language.

Bristle Thistle Flower Language, Shadow Dragon Bloodline, Dragon Transformation!

In an instant, a large amount of black gas emerged from his entire body, mixed with death energy, quickly enveloping him, as if to completely submerge him.

Dragon scales grew rapidly, and his body quickly swelled and enlarged.

In the blink of an eye, Li Cheng頤 transformed from an ordinary person into a three-meter-tall humanoid Shadow Dragon.

With wings, a dragon tail, horns, and blood-red eyes, except for being smaller and humanoid, he had all the characteristics of a Shadow Dragon.

'This place doesn't affect death energy and the power of the Shadow Dragon, but it greatly suppresses everything else'

Li Cheng頤 instantly understood.

But soon, he dispelled the dragon transformation and returned to his normal body.

Looking down at the inscription on his chest, it was unaffected, and still had a constant stream of power flowing out.

This inscription seemed to be located on the chest, but in reality, even if the entire body were dug open and this part of the flesh were removed, there would be no way to remove the power of the inscription.

This was a sublimation that had been integrated into existence itself; the mark on the chest was just a symbol, nothing more.

The Giant Force Inscription was still there, and Li Cheng颐 felt relieved.

Returning to his unclothed state, he began to run quickly in a random direction.

The blood-red setting sun shone on his body, still giving him a faint warmth.

This was unmatched by any other blind spot.

Obviously, this Midraan blind spot was likely to be a super-large blind spot, just like the reality he lived in.

The cycle of this type of blind spot could even reach ten thousand years or more.

Plop, plop, plop.

Running wildly across the black earth plain, Li Cheng颐's feet constantly left footprints on the ground.

But soon, his footprints were restored by the soft black soil.

The sky grew later and darker.

Red-eyed crows flew across the sky, making frightened calls.

It seemed they, too, were afraid of the arrival of night.

The light rain fell on Li Cheng颐's entire body, giving him a free shower.

He wasn't running at full speed, but at a speed of about a hundred meters per second, observing the surroundings as he ran.

At his current burst speed, Li Cheng頤 could reach two to three times the speed of sound.

If only looking at the linear burst speed, without controlling turns, under the Giant Force Inscription, he could even reach four times the speed of sound in an instant.

Speed would greatly increase with the growth of power.

As power increased, the linear sprint speed would naturally increase dramatically due to the reaction force.

He ran like this for more than ten minutes.

All of Li Cheng頤's timing devices had disintegrated and disappeared, so he could only estimate roughly.

Finally, before it was completely dark, traces of human activity slowly appeared on the black earth plain ahead.

It was a winding yellow earth road, lying quietly between the wide black earth.

The yellow earth road stretched out of sight from left to right, about three meters wide.

Scattered on both sides of the road were some rotten wooden wheels and a smashed carriage compartment.

And several corpses lying on the ground.

Li Cheng颐 frowned and walked closer.

The carriage compartment was tilted on the ground, the gray-brown fur seat cushions inside were wet with rain, exposing half of it, already covered with grayish-green mold.

On the side of the carriage, incomprehensible words and a white stag formed a circular pattern resembling a family crest.

Looking at the clothing of the corpses lying on the ground...

Five corpses, three men and two women.

The men wore high-necked long coats mainly in gray-black, loose-fitting and with ropes at the hands and feet.

The material was thick cotton cloth, inlaid with some hard black animal fur.

The women wore black-gray long skirts with corsets, with a high waistline, the belt was a cloth strip, tied to the position above the chest.

Overall, they resembled the traditional clothing of Koreans in his previous life.

The hairstyles were long hair tied up into a bun, leaving a wide forehead.

Moreover, both women wore black veils with white lace.

He bent down and walked to a male corpse, kicking it.

Blood was still slowly flowing from the other party's mouth and nose.

This was a very young-looking man, only about twenty years old, the youngest of everyone present.

He was still holding a delicately crafted black iron sword.

The handguard of the sword hilt was made into the shape of deer antlers, with some decorative design.

Looking at the other party's appearance, Li Cheng頤 bent down, reached out his hand, and a Radiant Force Field laboriously poured into the other party's body.

"Cough cough..."

The young man actually coughed, suddenly coming back to life.

He was only playing dead.

Li Cheng頤 used the Radiant Force Field because he judged this.

Sure enough, he revived the other party.

"*****!"

The young man struggled to raise his head and said a few words, but before he could finish, he slammed his head on the ground again, more and more blood flowing from his mouth, and once again lost his movement.

There were no wounds on his body, and it was unknown what fatal injury he had died from.

Watching the young man fall again, Li Cheng頤 breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes faintly flashing with golden vertical pupils.

The bloodline of the Shadow Dragon flowed rapidly in his body.

Soon, another talent ability besides Shadow Flash slowly emerged at this time.

'Shadow Substitute: Can melt itself into shadows, merge with the target's shadow, thereby completely replacing the target, devouring the target, and becoming the target.'

'It seems this place is very suitable for death energy and Shadow Dragons to survive...' Li Cheng頤 looked at the young man, who was once again beginning to lose his vitality.

Immediately, without hesitation, a golden light flashed in his eyes.

Whoosh!

In an instant, his entire body melted like a candle, suddenly pouncing on the young man, like a liquid, merging into the bit of shadow beneath him.

Hiding himself first, and understanding and probing the surrounding environment through a local resident, was the safest approach.

After merging into it.

The young man's body trembled rapidly, his eyes suddenly opened, a puff of black gas spewed from his mouth and nose, dissipating into the air.

He slowly got up and moved his body.

'The fatal wound is in the heart, the heart is shattered, but there are no external wounds... This place... is interesting.'

He adapted to this body.

The Shadow Substitute ability of the Shadow Dragon was actually much stronger than he had imagined.

Not only did he obtain this body, but he also obtained a lot of the body's memories, language, and even a bit of residual emotion from the body's residual brain cells.

Although the memories he obtained were not many due to the physical damage, they were all fragments, they still gave him great convenience.

After adapting to the body, Li Cheng颐 used the Radiant Force Field to forcibly heal him for a while.

Then he went to other places and checked the others.

Soon, another middle-aged man coughed and slowly woke up.

That was all.

The rest were already stiff dead.

Helping the middle-aged man to sit up and lean against the carriage, Li Cheng颐 straightened up to sort out the fragmented memories in his head.

'Merchant group, transporting goods, picking up people, ambushed...'

The young man he Shadow Substituted was named Wang Yichen, the third son of Wang Yifeng, the constable of Xinmeng Town.

Xinmeng Town was an ordinary town on this Black Wind Plain, under the jurisdiction of the Shaoyin Kingdom.

Only when the population reached a thousand households could it be designated as a town.

Xinmeng Town barely met the standard.

Li Cheng颐 rubbed his temples, the memories in his head were discontinuous and full of fragments.

The most were still the scenes and sounds of being killed at the end.

The one who killed them was a crazy old woman in tattered red clothes, who didn't say a word when she saw them, and came up and gave each of them a palm.

Her movements were extremely fast, like a phantom, knocking all five of them to the ground in an instant.

"A'Chen! A'Chen!" Just as he was trying to learn more about the general situation here.

The middle-aged man who had been rescued suddenly called out.

The words they spoke were all in the Shaoyin Kingdom dialect, but with Shadow Substitute, Li Cheng頤 could understand them now.

The middle-aged man was called Chen Zhong, and he was a constable who came to pick up people this time.

"Hurry back to town, once it gets dark, we are doomed!"

Chen Zhong struggled to get up, without looking at the other corpses around, staggering, he pulled up Li Cheng颐 and ran forward along the yellow earth road.

After running a few steps, he reached out his hand to his mouth, blew air hard.

A sharp whistle sounded from his mouth.
