The protagonist of the universe, with unlimited talents starting from Doupo

111 - One thought of life and death

"You can't touch this thing, it will die."

A flat-toned male voice entered the captain's ears. What was strange was that as the voice sounded, everyone around stopped their movements, and then went completely still without any further movement.

From the dark crack, two figures stepped out, a handsome young man in a purple-gold robe, and a beautiful woman with a cold expression.

Looking at the two people with extraordinary temperament in front of him, the middle-aged captain was shocked and speechless for a while.

And these two people are naturally Xiao Yan and Xun'er.

Xiao Yan touched the black statue in his hand, feeling the dark power within it, and said, "Once you touch this statue, you will fall into darkness, slowly eroded by this power, and it will be difficult to touch the light."

The dark power contained in it is like a germ, enough to corrode a Douhuang powerhouse, let alone those in front of him, only people at the Dou Ling level.

The captain finally came to his senses at this time, looked at the two people standing in the void, and said respectfully: "Pang Yan, thank you for saving my life!"

Then he looked at the black statue in Xiao Yan's hand with lingering fear, he did not doubt what the young man in front of him said, how could a strong man with at least Dou Zong's strength deceive such a small person like him.

Xiao Yan looked at Pang Yan, who was still in fear, and nodded slightly, accepting his thanks.

When he came around the dark forest, Xiao Yan sensed this strange aura, and then he directly crossed the space and came here.

"Why did you come to fetch this kind of thing?" Xiao Yan looked at Pang Yan in front of him and asked.

"We are mercenaries from the border town, and this time we are entrusted by a nobleman to fetch this statue..."

After listening to Pang Yan's explanation, Xiao Yan thought for a while, the nobleman must know the origin of the black statue with such detailed information.

While Xiao Yan was thinking, the cave leading to this place gave out bursts of shouts, and then loud battle noises erupted.

It was the tall and thin monster who had left before sensing the movement of the statue, and immediately returned to the cave, while Linna and the others did not see any sign of success, so they immediately chased after them.

When the tall and thin monster and Linna entered the cave, they were obviously surprised by the scene in front of them. Except for the three people in the center of the square, everything else was still.

When she came to the team of youths and the blonde big waves, Linna could see the violent eyeballs of the youths, as if telling Ruolin not to act rashly!

Lin Na looked at the leader of the monster. Seeing the black statue being held in the square, the leader of the monster obviously couldn't keep calm. After a deafening yell, the leader of the monster directly attacked it!
"Noisy!"

Following that sound, all the small-eyed monsters disappeared without a sound in front of everyone!

Looking at the weird scene in front of her, Lin Na couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"My lord, those are members of my team." Seeing this, Pang Yan touched her forehead and said to Xiao Yan quickly.

Xiao Yan nodded slightly, and the group of youths and the blond big wave immediately gasped for breath and were able to move around.

"The nobleman is from the border city?" Xiao Yan asked Pang Yan.

"Yes, my lord, it's just to the north of the forest." Pang Yan replied respectfully.

Xiao Yan nodded, and a huge gap instantly opened in the void in front of him.

Then the eyes of the seven members of the team went dark, and before they could react, they entered the crack, but just a few seconds after entering, everyone's eyes lit up again, and they came to the sky above a city.

"Border Town!" The blond Big Wave exclaimed in shock.

Everyone looked at the city under their feet in shock. It took them a whole day to reach the cave from the border city!
And now, five seconds have passed!
What kind of powerhouse is he?
Everyone looked at the strange young man in front of them, and the question in their hearts shocked their souls!

"Where is that nobleman?" Xiao Yan looked at Pang Yan and asked aloud.

Pang Yan pointed to a mansion in the city, Xiao Yan looked over, and everyone came to the mansion again in a daze.

The soul glanced slightly, and found a place with the same aura as the previous dark energy, but this aura was extremely weak.

Xiao Yan stretched out his hand to grab it, and the space caused waves of ripples. Along with the space fluctuations, a middle-aged man with a big belly appeared.

The man was taken aback when he saw the crowd, and looked around blankly, then he saw Xiao Yan with an indifferent expression in front of him.

The man who touched Xiao Yan's eyes was instantly in a trance, showing a demented appearance.

Xiao Yan has studied a lot of fighting skills, and he has also dabbled in this technique of using soul power to hypnotize.

"What is this thing? What is its function?" Xiao Yan took out the black statue and asked.

"This is the icon of the dark elves, which can allow creatures to touch the power of darkness." The man replied numbly.

"Who made this thing, and for what purpose?"

"It was made by the dark elves deep in the forest, and the purpose is unknown."

"..."

After asking everything clearly, the man slowly disappeared in front of everyone like the small-eyed monster before.

This way of disappearing, in simple terms, means that there are no ashes left.

People who are exposed to dark energy will not show it at first, but gradually, not only the body, but also the soul will be infected. Although the strength will skyrocket for a short time, but then the personality will change drastically, greedy and violent.

But for a long time, the dark energy will not be enough to support the body, so it gradually loses its mind, and eventually the body collapses and completely turns into a monster.

The solution is also very simple, that is, to stay next to the black statue all the time, constantly absorbing the dark power in the statue, completely merging into the darkness, and maintaining the dark energy to support the body.

The man before had completely become a container of dark energy. Once he lost the dark energy, he would gradually shatter.

And his statue's energy has been exhausted, so he hired mercenaries to snatch the statue in the dark forest.

However, apart from the statues, there is another way to restrain them, which is to go to the depths of the dark forest to find the dark elves. These statues are from the dark elves, so finding the dark elves is naturally a way.

However, almost none of the people who went there came back alive, and once they came back, they possessed extremely powerful power, and eventually formed one powerful force after another...

At this point, Xiao Yan understood some of the dark elf's purpose. Did he control the outside world without leaving the forest?
It's just that this kind of dark energy is limited and cannot be produced in large quantities, so it is only provided to powerful people, and the statues emitted are like raising Gu for these people to compete for.

As for the gradually stronger victors, the sculptures are obviously not enough, so they need to go to the depths of the forest in person, and are finally controlled by the dark elves.

And those who are not strong enough and go looking for dark elves, I am afraid they will become new sculptures...

Weird and sinister, they are indeed the labels that the world has given to dark races.

Xiao Yan was unhappy. If this continued, even if he ruled the Eastern Continent, he would not be able to completely control the Eastern Continent.

Thus, a cruel conclusion was drawn for this dark creature.

The dark race with dark energy does not need to exist on this vindictive continent.
