Devouring Ability
At night, the Three Heroes City, a level 4 Sand City, was brightly lit. Every person living here had received a bag of rice and a large piece of meat from the city lord, all of which were gifts from him.
They simply didn't know why the great city lord was doing all this. As ordinary people, they enjoyed this unexpected gift at night. Of course, there were also well-informed adventurers who deduced from some clues that the city lord's actions must be related to the huge black castle floating above his head.
The City Lord's Hall.
Having just enjoyed a lavish meal, Li Wei and the others discussed the rescue operation in the Blood Clan Star Domain. The thrilling parts of the story made Zheng Yutong and Xue Yan extremely nervous.
While recounting how she escaped the Blood Clan Star using the Destroyer's City at that critical moment, Zheng Yutong nodded and looked at the black castle floating in the air outside the ship, saying, "This must be your Destroyer's City. Xue Yan met you there back then, and it seemed that it was for the sake of vying for this main city. But, since the Destroyer's identity is so special, how did you become the Destroyer?"
Li Wei shook his head. Whenever he thought of that chaotic period during his rebirth, Li Wei felt somewhat dazed, as if it were something he had experienced in his previous life.
After his resurrection, Li Wei also considered this question. He had obtained the Black Paper from the black mist. Now that he thought about it, he realized that his resurrection was mostly due to the Black Paper.
However, during that chaotic period, Li Wei vaguely remembered hearing someone talking to him, but he couldn't recall it no matter how hard he tried.
"I'm also very curious. Oh well, some things will be figured out sooner or later." Li Wei moved his fingers and looked at the people present.
Besides the familiar faces of Zheng Yutong, Xue Yan, Nina, and Blood Wolf, there's also the newly joined An Hei, and these people can be considered as one of our own.
Li Wei glanced at An Hei, who was talking to Blood Wolf beside him, and smiled. This person was indeed very good at making plans and could play the role of a strategist. This trip to the Blood Clan Star would probably not have gone so smoothly without An Hei.
Fortunately, this person is not an enemy now.
Now, Li Wei has one more thing to do, which is also related to the Destroyer.
Li Wei had heard about the Destroyer from the Kai Star people. It was an entity with the power to destroy a star field. However, Li Wei had not yet experienced these things, but that did not prevent Li Wei from conducting research.
After merging with the other Destroyer, Li Wei hadn't had time to carefully review the information they left behind. Now, he finally had some free time.
After everyone had rested, Li Wei returned to his assigned room alone, sat cross-legged, and began to examine the Black Paper.
The method to shut down the star system teleportation array was obtained from other Destroyer. In addition, while carefully sorting through the vast amount of information on the black leather, Li Wei also discovered some things that interested him.
Skill
There is a unique skill of the Destroyer called "Devour". According to the information on the three Destroyer that Li Wei fused with, this Devour skill is an extremely powerful special ability. Of course, it also has different levels.
To learn this unique skill of the Destroyer, a lot of materials are needed. Li Wei pointed to the Black Paper and pulled up the materials needed to learn the 'Devour' skill (Level 1). He frowned immediately.
"What exactly are these: 1 Perfect-grade Quest Medal, 2 pieces of Superior Mystic Iron, and 1 Level 1 Skill Book?"
Li Wei had never heard of these things before. After continuing to study this information, Li Wei suddenly realized what was going on.
Those items can only be obtained in Shadow Street. Take the Perfect-level Quest Medal, for example; you need to achieve a perfect rating of 10 in a 10-level difficulty quest to earn one medal.
As for the superior Xuan Iron and the level-one Skill Book, these were also items obtained in the mission world. Seeing this, Li Wei knew that he had to return to Shadow Street.
Fortunately, because he had killed several Destroyer, he had accumulated quite a few points on his Black Paper, which he could use to exchange for time in the mission world. Moreover, Li Wei had a new idea.
Currently, his combat strength has reached A1. If he were to challenge the Angel Clan in a level 7 Illusion Realm, he might have a chance to put up a fight. However, Li Wei knows that if he wants to completely suppress the Angel Clan, he must improve his combat strength to S-level or higher, which is not realistic for him at the moment.
Therefore, Li Wei's new idea was to find helpers.
When it comes to helpers, a beautiful figure immediately popped into Li Wei's mind.
"I wonder if she'll forget me after being alone in a place like that for so long." Li Wei thought of the Green-Robed Sword Immortal from the Legend of Sword Immortal World, but Li Wei quickly shook his head.
He forgot something crucial: even if he returned to the Sword Immortal World, he would still be unable to enter the Demon-Locking Tower.
Because his former 'Shifting Forms and Changing Positions' skill has vanished with his rebirth.
"Damn it!" Li Wei suddenly felt agitated and slammed his fist on the floor.
It seems that the priority should be to activate Shadow Street and find a skill that can replace Shifting Forms and Changing Positions. However, to activate Shadow Street, his star field must be upgraded to level 3, which means he must 'devour' a star field.
He hasn't mastered the 'devour' skill yet.
This is a dead end.
For a moment, Li Wei's breathing became erratic. The difficulties facing him were like an unshakable mountain, pressing down on him and making it hard to breathe. Although he could now enter Shadow Street alone, there were no missions for him because Shadow Street was not yet truly open.
If things continue like this, let alone defeating the Angel Clan in a level 7 Illusion Realm, Li Wei will have no way to resist the attack from the level 4 Blood Clan Star Domain a year later.
"There must be a way," Li Wei, opening the Black Paper again to search for a way to access Shadow Street.
Suddenly, a line of small print on the Black Paper caught Li Wei's attention.
"Mission: Reboot Shadow Street, Difficulty: Random, Mission World: Random, Mission Description: Upon accepting this mission, the Destroyer will be stripped of all skills and combat power and randomly placed into a mission world. Upon completion of the mission, the Shadow Street of the Destroyer's star system will open. Please note that this is an extremely dangerous mission. Currently, 73 Destroyer have accepted this mission, and only 2 have completed it. The completion rate is extremely low. Please consider carefully before deciding whether to accept the mission."
Li Wei gasped. There was actually such a mission?
For a moment, Li Wei really wanted to accept the mission, but when he saw the extremely low completion rate, Li Wei hesitated.
Clearly, this is just a statistic on Black Paper. The 73 Destroyer accepted the mission must have encountered similar situations to themselves to choose to accept this random mission. But what was the result?
The fact that only two Destroyer survived to complete the mission speaks volumes about its extreme difficulty.
However, Li Wei also knew that he had no choice at the moment. Once the teleportation array opened a year later, a large number of vampire experts would flood into Earth Star. At that time, he alone would not be able to stop these level 1 or even S-level experts.
Once the Shadow Street is opened, those who possess the Yellow Paper can increase their combat power in the mission world, and they will also have the opportunity to learn the 'Devour' skill. Only in this way can they contend with the forces of the Level 4 Starfield.
In just two or three seconds, Li Wei had already made his decision.
But before leaving, Li Wei still had things to do. He walked out of the room and leaped a few times to the roof of the city lord's hall. From there, he could see Zheng Yutong, Nina, and Xue Yan chatting away in the side hall. Clearly, they were very excited today.
Is it because Nina and I are back?
Li Wei gave a wry smile. Even for their sake, he had to accept this mission and complete it.
Looking at the three women inside the house, Li Wei refrained from disturbing them. Only after the three women had finished playing and were lying haphazardly on the bed, falling asleep, did Li Wei jump down from the roof.
Just then, a figure emerged from the corner of the wall.
Li Wei wasn't surprised; he had clearly already noticed this person's presence.
"I could tell you were troubled during dinner. Why don't you tell me? Maybe I can help you come up with a solution. You know I'm not good at fighting, but when it comes to using my brain, even you probably can't beat me."
The person emerged from the shadows; it was An Hei.
Behind him, Blood Wolf also stepped out. He had been An Hei's subordinate in the Old World, and he was very happy to see An Hei with Li Wei this time.
Li Wei smiled. He was going to tell An Hei about this anyway. With this guy around, Three Heroes City would at least not be at a disadvantage in the struggle with the surrounding city lords.
After explaining the situation to An Hei, the latter fell into deep thought. After a long while, he shook his head and smiled, "Indeed, if it were me, I would make the same decision. After all, to learn that special skill, the necessary items can only be obtained by completing missions. However, I hope you are well prepared before accepting the mission. The completion rate of that mission is too low, and for us, everything about the mission is unknown. It is essentially a gamble."
Clearly, the 73 to 2 completion rate has made An Hei somewhat afraid.
"But I feel I can win this gamble," Li Wei said calmly, gazing at the starry sky.
An Hei nodded, knowing that once the other party had made a decision, there was no need to say anything more.
Li Wei summoned the Black Paper, let out a long breath, and then resolutely chose to accept the random mission. A flash of white light appeared, and Li Wei's figure disappeared without a trace.
