Chapter 2045 Shadow Blade! Shadow Puppetry Seal! (2)
"Who"s next?" w.a.n.g Teng asked after releasing Tong En"s hand.
"I"ll go," Yuan Bai stepped forward. His injury was the most severe, with a long gash across his chest that even cut through his battle armor.
w.a.n.g Teng nodded and placed his hand on Yuan Bai"s chest, drawing out the Shadow Power within him.
Then, one by one, Wei Na and the others approached, and w.a.n.g Teng repeated the process. Fortunately, their injuries weren"t too severe, so it didn"t take much effort for w.a.n.g Teng to help them completely rid themselves of the entangling Shadow Power.
If Guang Yu and the others were to witness this scene, they"d probably be infuriated by the stark contrast to their ongoing suffering.
They were still being tortured by the Shadow Power!
"Junior w.a.n.g Teng, your skills are truly exceptional," said Bi Yao as she felt his condition improve.
"Just a little trick," w.a.n.g Teng replied with a faint smile.
"So, what exactly is this eerie power? It"s like shadows," Yuan Bai frowned.
"We encountered some dark figures on the way. Their attacks were quite similar to these armored corpses, and they indeed possess a shadow-like quality. Let"s call it "Shadow Power for now," w.a.n.g Teng vaguely explained.
"Black shadows? We came from another direction. We didn"t see them," Tong En said in deep thought.
"How did you run into these armored corpses?" w.a.n.g Teng asked.
"The sky suddenly darkened, and we didn"t have time to find a hiding spot. We ran into them halfway on the road," Bi Yao explained as she sighed.
They were indeed quite unlucky. They had barely traveled halfway before unexpectedly encountering these armored corpses.
It was a terrifying experience to stumble upon a group of undead creatures in the pitch-black darkness.
"Your luck is something else," w.a.n.g Teng said, amused by their terrified expressions.
"Do you happen to know how these armored corpses sense things?" Tong En asked.
"They rely on sound, light, and potentially even the presence of life," w.a.n.g Teng replied.
Tong En nodded and continued, "Did you see that particular Naga Rce armored corpse just now? It"s the most terrifying one and much stronger than the others."
"The Naga Race!" Wan Dong and the others repeated.
"You don"t know?" Tong En asked in surprise.
"We thought it was the Snake Race," Wan Dong said.
"The Naga Race is a Snake Race too. However, in ancient times, they were called the Naga Race. It"s a powerful race," Tong En glanced at w.a.n.g Teng and explained.
w.a.n.g Teng and the queen maintained their composure, giving off the impression that they had just learned about this.
"The Naga Race armored corpse earlier was indeed very powerful, possibly at the universe stage. I could only hold it off for a short while. If I had been a bit slower, I might not have been able to save you," w.a.n.g Teng explained.
In reality, the key factor was that these armored corpses appeared to only sense the presence of life, making them somewhat inflexible. w.a.n.g Teng had simply used his s.p.a.ce abilities to teleport the group, hiding them effectively from the armored corpses.
Additionally, these armored corpses seemed to have some limitations. They wouldn"t enter the palace easily.
Otherwise, w.a.n.g Teng and his companions might not have escaped detection.
If these had been genuine living warriors, the situation would have been much more difficult, as they would have thoroughly searched the palace below. At that time, it would be hard for them to remain hidden.
"Was that a s.p.a.ce skill just now?" Tong En suddenly recalled the sensation and was astonished.
"Just a small trick," w.a.n.g Teng said casually.
Tong En and the others were left speechless. To them, w.a.n.g Teng"s "small trick" was a remarkable feat. Even though heaven-stage martial warriors had some grasp of s.p.a.ce abilities, in the chaos of the earlier attack, it would have been impossible for them to escape through s.p.a.ce manipulation.
However, w.a.n.g Teng managed to do it, teleporting all five of them simultaneously.
It was unbelievable!
They felt this junior becoming more and more mysterious.
"These Naga Race armored corpses seem to move only within a certain range, and they appear to be guarding something," w.a.n.g Teng changed the topic and contemplated.
Tong En and her companions were puzzled, but when they thought about the direction the Naga Race armored corpse appeared and disappeared from, they began to speculate.
"Are you suggesting…" Tong En inquired in amazement.
"Do any of you have the courage to come with me and take a look?" w.a.n.g Teng asked with a smile.
Tong En and her friends hesitated for a moment. They had just been tormented by the Naga Race"s armored corpse, and naturally, they were a bit hesitant.
However, their compet.i.tive spirit soon surpa.s.sed their apprehension.
If w.a.n.g Teng wasn"t afraid, why should they be?
Moreover, having nearly been killed earlier, they wanted to take revenge too.
It was simply because they had been unprepared and caught off guard that they had seemed so weak.
"Why not!" Tong En bared her small, tiger-like teeth and said a.s.sertively.
"Then let"s go," w.a.n.g Teng uttered with a slight smile.
The group contemplated for a moment before they stealthily ventured into the darkness, heading in the direction where the Naga Race"s armored corpse had disappeared earlier.
Of course, they didn"t overlook the surrounding palaces. They were determined to rummage whatever they could.
Tong En and the others didn"t argue over it. Their lives had been saved by w.a.n.g Teng, and everything else was secondary.
w.a.n.g Teng had initially considered sharing the loot, but they insisted against it.
In this regard, w.a.n.g Teng couldn"t help but admire their straightforwardness. They uttered no, and that was final. They didn"t even bat an eye.
Shortly after, they pa.s.sed through the alley where the previous battle had taken place. w.a.n.g Teng suddenly raised his hand, signaling the group to stop.
"What"s wrong?" Tong En inquired warily.
"Nothing, just observing for a moment," w.a.n.g Teng casually gave an excuse.
He had spotted some attribute bubbles that they hadn"t collected earlier. Since they were pa.s.sing through again, it made sense to pick them
