20demayo Chapter 1333 Begging for Mercy
Chapter 1333 Begging for Mercy
The night song drifted down silently from above.
Yinglan was struck head-on by the Eclipse Holy Lightning and is now lying on the grass in the forest clearing, her body twitching slightly, her once fierce aura now listless.
Her clothes were torn, revealing her snow-white skin. Blood and dust mingled together, and her long hair was disheveled and stuck to her pale cheeks. She looked both wretched and pitiful.
"It seems your companions have abandoned you." Night Song's voice was calm and even, with a hint of pity in it.
His powerful mental energy had already spread out like a spider web, meticulously scanning every inch of the surrounding space.
There was no sign of any reinforcements approaching.
It seems she has indeed been completely abandoned.
Mo Nanxi must have made her move from a great distance away, and being able to unleash even one move was already her limit.
"..."
Yinglan used all her strength to slowly lift herself up from the ground.
"...Can you let me go?" She raised her head, her blood-stained face appearing particularly vulnerable in the dim light, her voice clearly weak.
Night Song: "Are you begging me for mercy?"
Yinglan: "Yes."
Night Song: "Oh, no."
Yinglan: "......"
"Let you go, then release the tiger back into the mountain, so you can go back and lead your Shadow Clan army to join forces with the Gene Company and the Extreme Yin Cult to besiege us?" Night Song retorted.
"As long as you let me go," Ying Lan gritted her teeth, "I'm willing to leave the company... or I can switch sides and help you deal with Sima Qing!"
"Lying, is that it?" Ye Ge smiled. "You can't do it. I know that the board members of your gene company all have a soul contract with the company. You can't betray the company and do anything that harms its interests."
Yinglan's expression changed.
She hadn't expected that Ye Ge would even know this!
How did he know this?
Logically, this is a contract that should only be known to members of the company's board of directors...
“So, I can’t trust you, and I don’t intend to let you go.” Ye Ge shrugged. “Besides, you… you don’t even have a shred of sincerity when you beg for mercy. You don’t think I can’t sense it, do you? From the moment you started, you’ve been pouring soul power into the surrounding shadows, weaving your shadow array.”
Even while talking to Yinglan, Yege kept a vigilant watchful eye on everything around her with her divine sense.
This ancient forest of giant trees, hundreds of meters tall, has a dense canopy that blocks out most of the sunlight, making the forest extremely dark and filled with thick, impenetrable shadows.
Ye Ge glanced around out of the corner of her eye. Ying Lan had appeared weak and collapsed, but in reality, there were extremely subtle fluctuations of soul power in the parts of her body that were in contact with the shadows on the ground. Like tiny streams, these fluctuations were constantly seeping into and activating those dark areas.
The Shadow Clan are born with the ability to control powers related to shadows. Wherever there is shadow, that is their domain; they can not only manipulate shadows, but also replenish their power.
"..."
Yinglan had nothing to say.
So she dropped her previous weak and miserable appearance and put on a cold and vicious expression.
"...I thought that by using the Shadow Realm as a cover, I could effectively conceal the aura of my abilities, but I didn't expect that you would still be able to detect me."
Yinglan said expressionlessly, "In the game, the Shadow Clan is a very obscure race. I thought not many people would understand their abilities, but I didn't expect you to see through it. As expected of the only ordinary player among the top 100 in the world server in my previous life, the top player known as the 'Godfather of Strategy,' Night Song."
Night Song said, "You've managed to use the abilities of the Shadow Clan, such an obscure and weak race in the game, to this extent. You're quite something."
Yinglan said, "Do you know what my world ranking was in the game in my past life?"
Night Song: "How much?"
“965th, my brother… is 964th,” Yinglan said. “And actually, we’re just like you, ordinary players.”
Ye Ge raised an eyebrow: "Oh ho. A commoner with amazing skills, huh?"
She paused, her eyes dimming, and clenched her fists: "I'm not reconciled... My brother and I put in so much effort to bring the Shadow Clan, ranked 177th in the game, to its current 18th place. We finally defeated the Shadow King and ruled the Shadow Clan... but in the end, we were still used by those guys and used as pawns! My brother... also became a sacrifice in their plan..."
“There’s no other way,” Ye Ge said calmly. “This is war.”
"Heh...you're right." Yinglan sneered: "In this cruel world of myriad races, the strong prey on the weak. If you want to save your life, you can only rely on yourself."
As she spoke, she slowly stood up from the ground.
"boom!!!"
Soul power erupts!
As she stood up, the shadow she cast on the ground seemed to have an independent life of its own and "stood up" as well!
The shadow began to twist, expand, and grow taller, eventually coalescing behind her into a blurry, yet intensely malevolent, monstrous form!
Not only that.
In this entire forest of giant trees, everything that could be called a "shadow" came to life at this moment!
The dappled shadows cast by the trees, the dark corners under the rocks, and even the tiny shadows formed by the faint light filtering through the gaps in the leaves... all of them now seemed like a black, viscous liquid infused with life, beginning to writhe, sway, and twist wildly!
They seemed like tentacles crawling out of the abyss, or like countless lurking evil spirits, emitting silent shrieks. What was originally just a natural phenomenon caused by a lack of light had now transformed into a chilling and terrifying ghost realm, with dense darkness surging in from all directions like a tangible tide, enveloping Night Song layer by layer!
The light was further swallowed up, the temperature plummeted, and a suffocating chill and deathly silence filled the air.
"The reason I chose to flee to this giant forest is precisely because I can make the most of its shadow."
Yinglan sneered: "This is my best battlefield."
The scarlet patterns that had appeared on her body due to the consumption of the Blood Burning Pill once again shone with a dazzling blood-red light, clearly indicating that the effects of the pill were still ongoing.
"Shadows, gather!"
Yinglan raised her arms.
In an instant, all the living, writhing shadows around her seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, turning into streams of black water that surged wildly toward her body.
A portion of the shadow power directly merged into her body, while the other portion rapidly solidified and materialized on her body surface.
Ye Ge narrowed his eyes. He could clearly sense that Ying Lan's dark attribute soul power was rapidly increasing! Her energy level and panel attributes were both skyrocketing!
Her appearance also changed significantly as a result.
Her once neat short hair grew wildly, the ends moving without wind, exuding a rich, ghostly aura.
Her body lines became longer and more powerful. Shadow energy condensed at her wrist, growing into a shadow blade that merged with her arm bones. Flowing shadows covered her body, outlining the contours of her tall figure.
