A Comprehensive Network: An Endless Adventure Begins as a Wanderer

Chapter 87 The Dragon's Head in the Flames!

An invisible blade arced across the room, and the sheer sharpness of its edge sliced ​​through the throats of six or seven kobolds around them.

After the initial panic, the remaining kobolds clearly split into two factions.

A group of kobolds dropped their pickaxes and ran into the depths of the mine without looking back.

Meanwhile, another group of kobolds seemed to be enraged, their eyes turning bloodshot as they hurled their pickaxes at the invisible figures around them.

It seems the kobolds have a clear division of labor: one group holds off the enemy while the other goes to deliver the message.

Unfortunately, this approach is not very effective against a highly mobile and stealthy enemy.

As shadows shifted, Cheng Yi's figure flashed, skimming past each kobold like a dragonfly skimming the water.

The sword tip sliced ​​through the air, leaving behind a trail of corpses.

Within the shadows, in addition to the invisible material flowing into Cheng Yi's body, there was also a pitch-black shadow.

Cheng Yi deliberately left a shadow to test the effect of the Shadow Servant, and with a familiar feeling, the shadow of the kobold miner was peeled off.

A sudden realization flashed through Cheng Yi's mind; it seemed that these shadow servants had inherited some of the characteristics of the Separation Hand.

He looked at the servant lurking in the shadows and opened his data panel.

Shadow Servant - Kobold Miner Level: 3

属性：12力10敏13体8智10感7魅特性：健壮、疼痛忍耐、镐击入门、採矿精通、融身入影、阴影步伐占据影界容量：3】

Cheng Yi frowned; the panel looked rather weak.

However, we can't expect too much from a kobold miner; it's adequate as a scout and cannon fodder.

Perhaps due to its low rank, this shadow servant did not possess much intelligence.

Cheng Yi didn't rush forward; instead, he stood still and pondered for a moment.

Shadow servants are undoubtedly a type of shadow creature.

So, could we—

A deep shadow spread out behind Cheng Yi again, but this time the shadow spread towards the shadowy servants standing in front of him.

[You devoured the Shadow Servant; based on your innate abilities, you gained 0.5 points of Shadow Essence.]

Without a doubt, it is feasible.

The shadow quality provided by normally consuming the shadow of a kobold miner is also 0.5.

Cheng Yi nodded to himself.

In that case, he could first transform his shadow into shadow servants to gain immediate combat power.

When the Shadow Essence is needed, the servants will be devoured to obtain the Shadow Essence.

Thinking this, Cheng Yi continued deeper into the mine tunnel.

Along the way, he encountered this combination of one or two kobold whippers and a dozen or so kobold miners several times.

This small team, which was responsible for both mining and sentry duties, unfortunately all fell silently to Cheng Yi's sword.

This also allowed Cheng Yi to assemble the ultimate beggar's version of the Shadow Legion O, consisting of 4 Shadow Whippers and 22 Shadow Miners.

Among them, the attribute panel of the Kobold Whipper is barely worth looking at.

Shadow Servant - Kobold Whipper Level: 5

属性：14力11敏14体8智11感7魅特性：健壮、痛苦鞭笞、战斗鼓舞、特种武器精通（长鞭）、融身入影、阴影步伐占据影界容量：7】

As Cheng Yi continued forward, the mine tunnel gradually widened. After turning several corners, a spacious cave hall suddenly appeared before him.

The cave's ceiling is a skylight connecting it to the outside world. Faint sunlight forms white beams that shine down from above.

Braziers were burning all around the cave, but even brighter were seven or eight oddly shaped furnaces that were burning fiercely.

Besides the one Cheng Yi came from, this cave also connects to seven or eight other mine tunnels.

At that moment, a group of kobolds emerged from two mine tunnels, pushing carts loaded with ore.

There were also many kobold whippers in the area, directing and reprimanding the kobold miners as they carried the ore to the furnaces and threw it in.

Beside each furnace, there was a kobold dressed as a shaman, chanting incantations over the furnace.

The innermost part of the cave was spotless.

There, a luxurious chair decorated with various metals and gems stood, upon which sat a burly kobold covered in red scales, gripping a staff made of dark red pure crystal. He would occasionally glance at the bustling scene before him, letting out a furious roar accompanied by curses in the language of dragons.

【Burning Fury - Kuramanu Redscale (Level 9/Dragonvein Warlock/Elite Boss Template/Bloodline Awakening)】

The kobold warlock looked extremely irritable, yet extremely cautious, and the chair was quite large.

If it were a direct assassination attempt, although Cheng Yi was confident he could kill the target in one strike, there was also a considerable chance he would be hit by a close-range fireball that the Dragon Vein Warlock would likely be preparing.

In the blink of an eye, he had a plan.

Cheng Yi silently slipped into the shadows, but in the shadows slightly closer to the kobold throne in the cave, numerous figures emerged.

A group of black kobolds appeared and split into two groups.

They charged toward the busy kobolds, while others stood still, making friendly gestures toward Kuramanu on the throne.

These friendly gestures were something Cheng Yi had just learned from Kuramanu, the grumpy kobold who usually used both hands and mouth when cursing.

As expected, Kuramanu was enraged.

The Blazing Fury rose to his feet in a rage, and in an instant, an extremely concentrated fireball spewed from his mouth!

But at that very moment, just as Kuramanu released his instant spell, an invisible sword light slashed directly at Kuramanu's neck, which was covered in red scales!

The perfect timing!

However, a shield blazing with flames simultaneously ignited, helping Kuramanu withstand some of the damage from the sword strike!

Even so, the dragon vein sorcerer's neck was almost severed, with only a thin sliver of skin and scales connecting it.

The head of Blazing Fury Kuramanu Redscale dropped down, its bright yellow pupils dilating on its angry face. But the rage that had not yet been fully released did not stop; instead, it intensified!

Kuramanu exhausted the last of his life force and spirit, unleashing his final spell—

Though my body is dead, my anger remains.

A crimson light flashed in mid-air, scorching the air and releasing layers of flames.

From within the raging flames, a ferocious crimson dragon head emerged and let out a deafening roar.

Fifth Ring Spell: Dragon Summoning!

Although it was merely the essence of a dragon, Kuramanu, whose body was not severed, firmly believed in his lifetime that the dragons he summoned would completely incinerate those who killed him—

And this arrogant red dragon spirit, after letting out a dragon roar, opened its ferocious eyes.

However, what awaited it was only an invisible sword shadow!
