When Lumi woke up and continued her search, slaughtering along the way, Louis and his group had already started setting up camp.
Louis looked up, seeing the clouds swept in by the mountain wind, accompanied by the howls of unknown birds and beasts, carrying the sound of thunder from the horizon.
In the flickering lightning, Louis could vaguely see the mountains in the distance.
A range of serrated peaks stretched endlessly into the distance.
An exotic scenery that rushed towards him left Louis sowhat dazed.
At this ti, they were resting near a river.
The Swan was about to fish in the river.
She said she once saw a book in the Royal Library called "Overview of Exotic Cuisine".
It mainly talked about the journey of a legendary gourt who traveled the world and tasted various cuisines.
Among them, the Crystal Bonefish from the Fallen Shadow Nether Realm was said to have a unique flavor.
The Swan had craved it for a long ti, and Louis couldn't refuse her, so he followed her to catch fish.
But just as they were about to catch the fish, sothing unexpected happened.
In a lower-lying area, Louis saw a shadow wriggling underwater, approaching.
Suddenly, amidst the splashing water, a creature with a human upper body and a snake-like tail leaped out from the water.
"Louis, leave it to !"
The Swan swung her Magic Staff, hitting the figure as if it were a baseball.
After smashing it, she shouted loudly:
"Louis, Louis, finish it off, it's trying to escape!"
Upon hearing this, Louis quickly stepped forward and unleashed the Longsword he obtained from the injured adventurer Tiqi.
In the blink of an eye, he struck thrice, blowing up the head of the creature attempting to flee back to the water.
The Swan rolled up her sleeves and pulled the creature ashore.
"Huh, is this a Fallen Shadow Beauty Snake?"
"What the heck is that?"
The Swan used her Magic Staff to flip the creature, revealing a face eerily humanlike and a slightly swaying torso.
Indeed, the Fallen Shadow Beauty Snake lived up to its na.
The upper body resembled a beauty, with glossy hair, beautiful red lips, and slender eyebrows. Beneath them, a pair of arms, like snowy-white lotus roots, were broken by the Swan.
Especially intriguing were the prominent snow-capped breasts and the snake tail winding below.
It reminded Louis of a certain series of works featuring exotic beauties.
The Swan glanced again, then quickly covered Louis's eyes in shock:
"You shouldn't look!"
By now, Louis was already swinging his sword, piercing the twitching Fallen Shadow Snake clean through.
The creatures in the Fallen Shadow Nether Realm are divided into two types.
One is the creatures that originally existed on this land.
The other is the Fallen Shadow creatures that ford from distorted reflections of the world.
The forr were wiped out due to the Black Sun Old Deng in earlier tis.
Now what they encountered were native creatures contaminated and cursed by the Fallen Shadow migrating from other shadowy realms.
The latter dominate the current Fallen Shadow Nether Realm, and the Fallen Shadow Snakes are among them.
These creatures are essentially manifestations of the Fallen Shadow Nether Realm's power.
Without special ans, they return to the land like ink when they die.
The Fallen Shadow Beauty Snake, pierced through the chest by Louis, finally took its last breath and returned to the earth.
The Swan, looking at it with a sour expression, said:
"The Fallen Shadow Beauty Snake, predominantly female with few males, bears a serpent form and has skin like frozen fat, akin to a Magic called [Tiger Taming Technique] which can ta tiger-like creatures."
Louis thought this creature resembled the snake spirit from a gourd doll animation.
This is a creature that makes one imdiately think of beds.
Hiss, and it even has a [Tiger Taming Technique].
Could this Beauty Snake serve so other purpose?
The Swan, ever the capable Mage, snorted and said:
"This creature is a reflection of certain beauties in reality."
"Its entire body is full of enticing charm, not much combat power, yet can ta big tigers."
"It's lucky that the Fallen Shadow Nether Realm doesn't have any original creatures now; otherwise, it would be quite challenging to deal with this creature that controls tiger-like monsters."
Louis's mouth fell slightly open.
Hiss.
He seed to finally grasp the logic behind the projection of these Fallen Shadow creatures.
These creatures are not just reflections of reality; the Fallen Shadow Magic they possess reflects certain phenona in reality.
The tycoons drive worker thieves to exploit office drones' surplus value.
Beauties serve nobles and wealthy people as playthings, yet turn around to control their patrons.
And when this phenonon is reflected in the Fallen Shadow Nether Realm, it forms unique Fallen Shadow Magic, or rather... curses?!
Suddenly, his eyes lit up.
"Olivia, since there are Fallen Shadow Beauty Snakes here, could there be more nests?"
The Swan gave him a curious look and said:
"It's possible indeed; these creatures can land."
Louis chuckled:
"How about we go clear out these snakes? They'll threaten the safety of our camp."
The Swan replied subtly:
"Are you sure it's not just to see how useful the snakes are?"
"Louis, you're already engaged to Sister Wang; these Beauty Snakes aren't for play!"
Louis was infuriated by her words: "Am I that kind of person? How could I possibly harm a creature!"
He admitted the snakes were indeed very pale, as Brother Xun had advised, and the beauty snakes were terrifying in many ways.
But that wasn't why he wanted to hunt them.
He whispered:
"Did you forget I have the [Greed Dominator]?"
Olivia was montarily stunned, then suddenly realized:
"You want to see if Limuru can digest them?"
Louis nodded.
Slis are creatures naturally adaptable.
He was curious about whether Limuru could digest these shadowy creatures.
If it could, then this place would be an assured levelling ground for him and Limuru.
Olivia, hearing this, also beca a bit tempted.
This wouldn't benefit her, but she thought finding a way to accumulate more health points for this jerk would be advantageous.
The two of them continued exploring along the river.
Unsurprisingly, they saw several winding shadows lurking underwater in a more distant area.
The two exchanged a knowing smile and stealthily approached like sneaky thieves.
To prevent the Fallen Shadow Beauty Snakes from escaping, they started with the isolated ones.
When Louis approached a lone snake by the riverbank, the snake predictably leaped out of the water.
But by now, Louis and his companion were experienced.
One would swing the Magic Staff to hit the snake, while the other used the Longsword to finish it off.
Executing a tactic of "falling down instantly without a word."
Louis was even considerate enough not to kill it directly, tossing the half-dead Fallen Shadow Beauty Snake onto Limuru.
Limuru's main trait was accepting anything.
It devoured the snake in a single gulp.
Soon, Louis noticed a stagnant power beginning to gather on Limuru.
Even more surprisingly, the power from the Fallen Shadow Nether Realm flowed into his body through the [Greed Dominator], and he felt the Wyrm Weapon emit a joyous sound.
The power of the Fallen Shadows was actually absorbed by the Wyrm Weapon?
Louis was both astonished and delighted.
Limuru then communicated a general sentint.
"The taste is good, just too little."
Louis's eyes lit up.
"It's feasible!"
At the sa ti, he suddenly felt a bit regretful.
If he had known Limuru could absorb the Fallen Shadow creatures, he would have let Limuru digest those "capitalist" monsters before they were completely devoured by the "worker thieves" and lted back into shadows.
He consoled himself: "Oh well, not getting them is fine too; after all, the skills of those hung from lampposts are pretty unpleasant as well."
The next mont, he felt his motivation surge forth.
"Hook, Olivia, let's go farming!"
The monsters of the Fallen Shadow Nether Realm, I'm coming, Lainer!
