Chapter 346
The Shadow Club contact gave Cheng Yu a map with the location of the Shadow Club headquarters marked on it.
"Sir, just follow this map and you will find the Shadow Club headquarters. I will not bother you anymore."
"Oh, OK."
Cheng Yu nodded.
After handing over the map, the Shadow Club contact left Cheng Yu's manor.
Cheng Yu returned to the stone table, and Mina came over and asked, "What does that mysterious person do?"
"The Shadow Club invited me to participate in some Shadow Trial."
Cheng Yu did not expect that the technique of baking sesame bread that he taught to the Shadow Club members when he left Snow City before could actually bring him a chance to participate in the Shadow Trial.
Since it is a trial, there must be rewards if you pass it successfully, and Cheng Yu plans to give it a try.
Unfolding the map, the map shows that the Shadow Club headquarters is located in Huangshi Mountain in the south of the Black Sun Empire.
"Master Cheng Yu, can I go with you?"
During this month, Daphne has been inseparable from Cheng Yu. Wherever Cheng Yu goes, she goes there, and she doesn't want to be separated from Cheng Yu.
"I can go alone."
The Shadow Club headquarters is unfamiliar with everyone, and there are too many people going, which is inconvenient.
"Is that so~"
Daphne pouted, a little disappointed.
"Don't run around when I'm not around, follow Sister Ivennie or Sister Silufenni."
Mina is a bit nervous, Haisha is innocent and lively, and Meiweier is a dead tsundere. Ivennie or Silufenni is more stable, so it's more reliable for Daphne to follow them.
Meiweier, who was basking in the sun on the roof, heard Cheng Yu say that he was going to the Shadow Club headquarters alone, and asked in confusion, "Human, don't you need this dragon to take you flying this time?"
Before, Cheng Yu went to far places, he always let Meiweier be his mount.
"Hehe, Xiaolonglong, I don't need your help this time. I have a new mount."
Cheng Yu smiled mysteriously.
"New mount?"
Maywell's blue eyes flashed with confusion. Cheng Yu hadn't caught any monsters during this period. Where did he get a new mount?
Cheng Yu took out a wooden magic wand, held the middle of the magic wand with one hand, and placed it horizontally in front of him. He chanted a magic spell and gathered magic power. A circular magic circle with a diameter of more than 20 meters was interwoven in the sky above.
Insect magic horned beetle!
The magic circle was fully formed, and a huge black beetle more than ten meters long appeared in the magic circle.
The black beetle has a long black horn on its head, and the carapace on its back can be split from the middle. Under the carapace are insect wings as thin as cicada wings.
"Huh? Isn't this the magic of the insect magician? How can you do it?" Meiwei asked.
"His magic books are all here with me. I'm bored, so I'll learn some."
With his extremely high magic talent, Cheng Yu learned the magic of summoning the unicorn beetle in just one month.
The unicorn beetle can fly, but its flying speed is far slower than that of Meiweier.
This time, Cheng Yu plans to try out a new mount and will not bring Meiweier with him.
Jumping to the top of the unicorn beetle, "Mina, tell Haisha and the others that I'm going out for a while and will be back soon."
"Okay."
Mina waved goodbye to Cheng Yu.
"Be careful along the way, Master Cheng Yu." Daphne said to Cheng Yu with concern.
"I will, don't worry."
"Unicorn beetle, let's go!"
At the command, the carapace on the back of the unicorn beetle split from the middle, and the thin wings stretched out, more than 20 meters long, like a large scarab.
The wings vibrated quickly, and a strong wind was raised in the courtyard. With a deafening high-frequency fluttering sound, it took off from the spot.
Whoosh~
Although the flying speed of the unicorn beetle is far less than that of Meiweier, it is still very fast. It took Cheng Yu out of Bailu Island, crossed the strait, and flew towards the south of the Black Sun Empire.
Cheng Yu stood on the head of the unicorn beetle. The wings of the unicorn beetle vibrated at a high frequency, and Cheng Yu's body also shook. His bones were almost shaken apart, and the fluttering noise was also very loud.
Bumping, noise, slow speed, the driving experience of the unicorn beetle is not as good as Meiweier.
However, it's out now, it's troublesome to go back, so just ride it.
Next time I go out, I'll still ride Meiweier.
Rich people in the Black Sun Empire like to keep flying mounts, but most people keep flying mounts of birds, and riding insects is quite rare.
Cheng Yu didn't fly for long on the unicorn beetle before he encountered other flying mounts.
Not far away, a second-level monster, a blue-feathered eagle, flapped its wings and flew, its claws holding a hanging basket in which stood seven or eight middle-aged men in aristocratic costumes.
"Look what that is!"
"Oh, my God, it's a big beetle."
"There's a young man riding on top of a beetle."
"His mount is so cool."
...
Cheng Yu's armorThe insect is comparable to the will-o'-the-wisp of the mount world, and its main feature is a cool and stylish ride.
The nobles in the hanging basket envied Cheng Yu.
Who can refuse to ride a big insect as a mount?
With Mayville's flying speed, it may only take half a day to fly to the headquarters of the Shadow Society, but the unicorn beetle took nearly ten days to fly to the vicinity of Huangshi Mountain.
Cheng Yu met many nobles and wealthy people who had bird mounts along the way, and they all envied Cheng Yu for having such a cool mount.
However, only Cheng Yu himself knew how uncomfortable it was to sit on the unicorn beetle. The high-frequency vibration and noise made people numb, and they would never ride this thing again next time.
The headquarters of the Shadow Society is located in an old black castle deep in Huangshi Mountain. The mottled exterior walls look a bit old, and the towering black tower spire has a unique Gothic architectural style.
Outside the castle, several Shadow Club guards heard a high-frequency puffing sound and immediately became alert. They looked in the direction of the sound and saw a large black beetle flying towards the castle with a person standing on top of the beetle.
Cheng Yu took out the map to compare it, it should be here.
He controlled the unicorn beetle to land at the entrance of the castle and jumped off its back.
Feeling that the visitor was not friendly, several Shadow Club guards rushed up and surrounded Cheng Yu and his unicorn beetle.
One of them asked, "Who are you?"
"My name is Cheng Yu, the head of the Snow City branch, and I was invited to participate in the Shadow Trial at the headquarters." Cheng Yu explained his purpose.
When several guards heard that Cheng Yu was the head of the Snow City branch, they immediately stood up and stood in awe, "It turns out to be Master Cheng Yu, hello, hello."
"What's your reaction?"
Cheng Yu felt that these guards were overreacting a little.
"Master Cheng Yu, you may not know that our Shadow Club was very poor before, and most of the Shadow Club members could only make a living as assassins. You taught our Shadow Club the technique of making sesame bread, and now our Shadow Club branches across the country are selling sesame bread, and many people no longer engage in the assassin profession of licking blood on the tip of the knife."
Assassin is a high-risk and high-return profession. If there is a regular business with a good income, most people are unwilling to be assassins.
Cheng Yu's bread baking technique successfully helped the Shadow Club get out of poverty and become rich.
