Chapter 1 Am I a Shadow Demon?
Zhang Tie felt like he had a long sweet dream, and like a fetus returning to his mother's arms, soaking in warm water. He didn't know how long he had slept. When he became active, he twisted his body a few times, and then opened his eyes.
There was darkness in front of him, and it was only after a while that Zhang Tie realized that it was not his eyes that could not see the light, but his whole body was wrapped in a thick layer of dark, cocoon-like mucous membrane and hard in the shell.
Didn't he get smothered to death?
A thought appeared in Zhang Tie's mind, and then he started to move his hands and feet, slamming, slamming, tearing apart the layer of mucous membrane and hard shell that wrapped him, and then walked out.
Zhang Tie, who came out, was still a little uncomfortable with the soft light outside. He squinted his eyes slightly, and after waiting for a few seconds, he looked around here.
Master Abian, who was also wrapped in the two-meter-high blood cocoon, was completely dead at this time, completely turned into a mummy, his body shrunk by almost half, like a piece of weathered dried lizard meat, Zhang He pursed his mouth, with a look of fear still on his face, right on his chest, the sharp horn was still inserted there at this moment.
Zhang Tie just glanced at Master Abian before turning his gaze away.
He saw the small Manshushahua tree, which made him feel relieved. As long as he was still in the Black Iron Fort, he would be fine, but the small tree in front of him seemed to be the same as the small tree he had seen a few days ago. The tree is a little different. Specifically, it seems to have grown taller, with denser branches and leaves, but the surrounding houses have not changed significantly. It's just that the space of the Black Iron Castle is a little different from what I saw before.
Zhang Tie remembered that when he came here last time, the space of the Black Iron Fort was less than one kilometer long and wide, and at this time, the space of the Black Iron Fort in front of him. The length and width are each about ten kilometers, and the area has expanded almost a hundred times. Looking around, what appeared in front of him was a lush plain, which was full of various crops and large forests. A scene of flourishing and lush birdsong and fragrant flowers, a few kilometers away, there is a hill of 100 meters high, the forest on the hill is rolling, and the lake in the distance is about 20 square kilometers in size . Zhang Tie was even more surprised.
If it wasn't for the small tree in the Black Iron Fortress and the tumbling clouds of seven colors surrounding the entire space, Zhang Tie almost thought he had come to the wrong place.
Still, it feels really good to be reborn.
At this time, judging by the light inside the Black Iron Fort, it was noon, and a few hard-working bees flew past Zhang Tie, as if they were attracted by Zhang Tie's breath. They began to circle around Zhang Tie.
Zhang Tie could feel the joy of those bees.
Standing for a few seconds in surprise, he realized that Heller was not here at this time, so Zhang Tie came to the stream not far from him, and was about to bend down to wash himself. At this time, Zhang Tie felt The original clothes on his body were already torn and corroded. They were even more beggar's clothes than beggars' clothes, and his body still felt a little sticky, which was very uncomfortable.
Zhang Tie came to the stream and squatted down by the stream. When he just took off the still well-preserved pair of Dark Ripper gloves on his hands, he saw his hands.
After taking off the gloves, those hands were completely different from Zhang Tie's own original hands—the whole hands were covered with black scale-like skin, and the nails on each finger were like sharp blades, faintly revealing a trace of cold light.
"Ah..." Zhang Tie cried out in fright. He staggered back and almost fell to the ground, but when his body fell backwards, a natural balance instinct in his body made him feel as if there was an extra foot behind him, bouncing on the ground After a while, he regained his footing. Zhang Tie turned his head, wanting to see what it was, but with a thought, the thing moved around from behind to his eyes very flexibly, allowing him to see it clearly... …
A piece of tail, one piece grows on him, extremely flexible to do whatever he wants, just like his third hand or third foot, like the tail on Master Abian...
Zhang Tie was so frightened that his face changed drastically, and he was completely panicked. In the panic, he gave a snort, his clothes were torn, and a pair of wings spread out from his shoulders and back. After unfolding, they were about three meters long, and the huge and powerful wings flapped and flapped in a panic, bringing Zhang Tie's feet off the ground.
After the clothes on that body were torn, Zhang Tie saw the layer of black scales covering his body, and in the reflection in the creek, Zhang Tie saw the one growing out of the middle of his forehead. unicorn.
Zhang Tie raised his head to the sky and screamed, "What the hell is going on, ah...how did I become like this?"
At this time, in addition to the change in appearance, he found that his voice also became muffled, and the vocal cords in his throat were quite strange, and when he said something, he naturally responded with a hoarse voice.
Haile hurried over from a distance, and stopped a few meters in front of Zhang Tie, seeing the calm expression on Haile's face all the time, Zhang Tie's tense, panicked, and extremely flustered mood at the moment was the only reason. Recovered a bit.
And at this moment, the pair of huge wings fluttering on his body had brought him to a height of seven or eight meters in the air, and stopped in the air.
"Ah, Heller, what's going on with me now, how did I become like Abian..."
"Master, don't panic, you can come down, I'll talk to you slowly!" Haile said to Zhang Tie on the ground with his head raised.
"Ah... this... how do I get off this, I can't stop!"
"You can, this is your instinct in this state at the moment, just like walking and breathing, as long as you are not nervous and calm down slowly, you will know how to come down!"
Listening to Haile's calm voice, Zhang Tie slowly calmed himself down. After he calmed down. When Zhang Tie wanted to go down, the wings behind him fluttered, and he landed firmly on the ground.
The wings with a layer of strong fleshy membrane were folded up again.
Before Zhang Tie could speak, Haile swiped his hands in the air, and a three-dimensional image appeared in front of Zhang Tie...
...
After more than ten minutes. Listening to Heller's explanation, Zhang Tie was dumbfounded as he watched the two sets of four helical DNA slowly fused together.
"You mean, in that situation at the time, it wasn't he who swallowed me, but I who swallowed him? Then what is this horn-shaped thing? How could it be so powerful? Under the circumstances at that time Can you actually break through Abian's protective fighting spirit, and swallow the life energy in his body and send it to me?" Zhang Tie said while stroking the sharp horn in his hand.
"Do you still remember that you heard the legend about the Wolf Valley when you were on trial in the Wolf Valley?"
"You mean those gold-eating pythons that alarmed the entire Blacksonian corridor?"
"That's right, this sharp thing is exactly the tooth that an adult golden-devouring python naturally fell off. This is also the most special thing about the golden-devouring python. And the strange ability to pierce everything, after you inject the fighting spirit, the ability of this thing is activated, so you can use it to pierce Abian's body armor, and at the same time, in that situation, Abby An himself is completing the evolution of the second form of Shadow Demon. The DNA in his body is very active and in a state of change. When you devour each other, a mysterious cycle is formed. In this mysterious cycle Under the influence of Abian, the evolution process of Abian's second form was reversed and merged into your body, making you what you are now."
"Can I go back to the way I was before?" Zhang Tie asked.
"Yes, your previous appearance is your first form, and your current appearance is your second form, the ability of Shadow Demon. It will give you the ability to transform between different forms at will!"
"Then am I a human or a demon?"
"That depends on your definition of humans and demons!" Heller looked at Zhang Tie with deep and wise eyes.
"What's the meaning?"
"If you use appearance to distinguish between demons and humans, then what kind of form you appear, what race you are, if you want to use DNA to distinguish demons and humans. Then, you are neither demons nor humans at this moment, Because the DNA in your body already has the common characteristics of the two races, your current state is a kind of life leap and mutation. If you want to use your ability to distinguish the human race from the demon race, then you are pure demon race , you can do everything a shadow demon can do, and possess all the abilities. If you use your soul and consciousness to distinguish the human race from the demon race, then you are still you, and you are still a human race! Of course, this is just you My own understanding of myself, if I were any other person, seeing you now, I would only regard you as a demon, an out-and-out demon, and any demon would also treat you as a demon, you The original first form will be considered as the transformation of Shadow Demon, no one will believe that you are still the original Zhang Tie!"
Zhang Tie was stunned by Heller's answer, and his heart was filled with bitterness. For a normal person, no one would want to become like this.
"so……"
"So, except that you know that you are a human race, as long as you leave Black Iron Fortress, then you are no different from a demon race. Once your second form or special ability is exposed, you will be regarded as a demon race , among the demons that the human race hates the most, if the shadow demon ranks second, then no other demon race will dare to rank first. , anyone who kills you can get the title of Lord of the Human Race, do you know what this means?"
Of course Zhang Tie knew, that meant that once he was exposed, there was only one end to die.
"By the way, what time is it now, how long have I been in that blood cocoon, and I have to rush to join Barry and the others?"
Haile looked at Zhang Tie silently, and after more than ten seconds, he opened his mouth, "Today's time, calculated according to the calendar of the world you are in, is August 14, 903 in the Black Iron Calendar... "
What? Looking at Haile's serious face, Zhang Tie's head buzzed, and his expression changed suddenly. He didn't expect that when he slept in that blood cocoon, he would sleep for twelve years...
