Strange Voyage: Summoning the Fourth Disaster.

Chapter 648 The Moved Giant Clam
Is there danger ahead?
I've always enjoyed danger.

Li Miao smiled and then walked in the direction the strange giant clam was pointing.

Of course, the idea of ​​enjoying danger was just a joke; the real reason he went was to improve his visibility in the dark.

If there are monsters resembling the Lightless ahead, don't miss them.

However, after following the direction indicated by the strange giant clam for quite some time, Li Miao still did not encounter any danger.

Forget about powerful monsters, we haven't even seen a single one of the lowest-ranking Dark Ones.

This surprised Li Miao.

what happened?

Could it be that the strange giant clam was pointing in the wrong direction, and there is no danger here at all?
After frowning and thinking for a moment, Li Miao decided to continue in this direction for a while longer.

If you still haven't encountered any monsters, go back and check again.

however.

After advancing for quite a while,

Li Miao finally confirmed that the strange giant clam was pointing in the wrong direction.

After taking a deep breath, Li Miao returned the way he came with a dark expression.

After returning to the same spot, he stood before the strange giant clam, intending to smash it, when he suddenly noticed something amiss.

This strange giant clam... seems to have been moved?

After pondering for a moment, Li Miao moved it aside and carefully observed the marks on the stone, confirming his suspicions.

"Damn it, what the hell did this?!"

After cursing under his breath, he picked up the strange giant clam and put it back in its original position, following the marks on the stone.

This time, the strange giant clam pointed to the left, which was the same path the trail had previously led to.

It seems the real danger might be on this side of the path.

as predicted.

Li Miao had been walking along the path for a short while when the number of lightless beings around him increased significantly, with even stronger lightless shadows interspersed among them, and there were quite a few of them.

After clearing them away one by one, visibility in the night increased again, finally widening to nearly five meters.

Li Miao also obtained seven more Night Stones.

At the same time, the path began to show signs of going downhill.

There appears to be a depression ahead.

Li Miao's extensive experience in battle and exploration told him that the "danger" the strange giant clam was pointing to was likely just ahead.

After making preparations, Li Miao stepped inside.

The number of those without light and those in the shadows around them decreased sharply.

It is also worth mentioning that the moment he stepped into the depression, some of the lightless beings quickly retreated and stopped behind him, whispering and roaring at Li Miao.

Below appears to be the habitat of some terrifying creature, so much so that these lightless beings dare not approach.

This made Li Miao's expression involuntarily become more serious.

pat.

The iron boots sank into the mud, where there were many murky pools of water, making it difficult to stand, but it wasn't as difficult as a swamp where you couldn't move your feet.

Swah——

As Li Miao cautiously advanced, a sudden attack came from the shadows, a dark claw aimed straight at his chest.

He reacted quickly, dodging to the side while simultaneously delivering a powerful chop with his left hand, severing the Shadow Claw in two.

But the offensive in the darkness clearly didn't stop there.

Suddenly, several dark, lightless heads emerged from the edge of the night, raising their heads and emitting terrifying shrieks that sent shivers down one's spine.

[You heard a shriek in the night; your sanity has decreased by 1.]

[You heard a shriek in the night; your sanity has decreased by 1.]

【…】

At the same time as three sharp screechs, shadow claws attacked from all directions. Despite the surging attacks, the source of the danger remained out of sight.

However, Li Miao did not panic. He remained calm and composed, dodging the incoming attacks with ease.

This offensive seemed terrifying, but an experienced prisoner like him could tell at a glance that the source of the danger was not strong enough to threaten him.

After all, the three shrieks only lowered his spirit by three points, which naturally indicated that the opponent's ignition point was not high.

as predicted.

As Li Miao continued to advance while dealing with the attacks, the source of danger in the darkness finally flashed past in Li Miao's sight, revealing its true form.

[Thirsty for Light and Shadow]

[Rank: Dust Flame]

【Level: 57】

[War: Blessed by the Night (Blessed by the night, able to move freely in the darkness, inflicting fatal trials on all who pass by)]

[Power of Fire: ?]

[Note: The terrifying shadow in the depression devours other lightless beings, making it more powerful than it was in life, and its thirst for fire grows ever stronger.]

Although the thing only appeared for a moment, Li Miao still clearly saw its true appearance: a millstone-like face with black tentacles around its edges.

However, he had no time to appreciate the other person's beauty.

Because the other party seems to have already used its miraculous fire-wielding power.

Amidst the turmoil of the night, a small vortex formed, its powerful suction drawing in a small amount of energy from Li Miao's chest, along with the flames.

You have been attacked, which has reduced visibility at night.

"Damn, just sucking it out directly is a bit unreasonable!"

Li Miao was somewhat surprised, as he had not been attacked at all, so this change could only be attributed to the opponent's power of fire.

However, he remained completely calm.

Although this thing is very insidious, it knows how to use its advantages to hide in the darkness and attack continuously.

However, after exchanging blows several times, Li Miao had figured out the pattern of the attacks. The direction in which the shadow hand attacks were most concentrated was the location where the opponent was hiding!
"It's over!"

Another attack came, and Li Miao quickly found their hiding place, wielding his greatsword as he charged forward at top speed.

next moment!
The body, thirsting for light and shadow, was indeed exposed.

At the same time, the sword, carrying the flames of war, fell heavily like a crescent moon, cleaving it in two.

With a mournful cry, the gleaming light and shadow transformed into a dark shadow and returned to the night.

[You have killed the Thirsty Shadow, increasing visibility in the night.]

[Obtained: 10 Dark Stones]

[Acquired: Spell - Thirst for Light Strong Attraction]

[Art of Spells: Thirst for Light - Forced Attraction]

[Type: Skill Book]

[Quality: Dust Flame]

[Effect: Incites the flames of war to form a luminous black vortex, forcibly absorbing the power of the enemy's battle and converting it for one's own use.]

[Note: Although it is the power of those who live in the darkness, it is a righteous magic from the night, perhaps a reward for the brave.]

"Wow, a spell-based life-steal skill?"

"This thing should be pretty useful... It's a pity it's not a combat skill."

Li Miao shook his head with some regret, deciding to put it away and see if he could extort some more from his good bro.

"Although it's just a fire-bearing monster."

"But there should be some treasure chests or something, right?"

Li Miao thought about it and then began searching.

However, before he could find the treasure chest, a new turn of events forced him to stop in his tracks...
