Chapter 285 283. The third way
Su Hong didn't have the time or energy to cultivate a shadow army from scratch, so the only option left for him was the dependent route.
Shadow dependents are shadow creatures, and each shadow life is the product of the right time, place, and right people. It is not easy to find one, and it is impossible to cultivate it on a large scale like the shadow army.
"I only have Philip as a Shadow Familiar, and I haven't seen any other Shadow Familiars so far. The Familiars route seems to be a sinkhole."
"Is there no other way?"
Su Hong was deep in thought, staring unconsciously at the side cans where he was amusing himself with spider silk balls.
"Huh?" Can Can looked at him confused.
"Is there a special group that has the scale of the Shadow Legion and the special characteristics of the dependents?"
"Unless..." Su Hong seemed to have thought of something, "I can transform other dependent legions into shadow legions."
It is true that he only has Phillip as a Shadow Familiar, but what if it is other Familiars, such as the Spider Swarm?
"Yes, why did I just think of it now?" Su Hong patted his head and stood up excitedly.
If he could transform all the spider relatives into half-shadow creatures, wouldn't he have a shadow army in disguise?
And compared to the shadow army, which is composed entirely of undead, the number of spiders is larger, and they also have the loyalty of their families. More importantly, they do not require him to cultivate them.
These spiders can grow just by eating meat every day.
Now it seems that the blood crystal army he originally conceived is simply too weak, and the spider shadow army is the king.
Su Hong was excited for a while and then calmed down quickly.
The concept of the Spider Shadow Army is very good, so the question is, how should he give these spiders shadow abilities.
"Ability inheritance, currently only the blood inheritance of rats can do it, but the users of this ability are currently limited to rats."
"It seems I have to find time to go to Jie Dong City. The giant insect shedding its shell that can create disaster items that Anna mentioned may be able to solve the problem I am facing."
Su Hong stood up and stretched.
He is not in a hurry to rush to Xie Dong City at the moment, mainly because he has just finished a round of simulation and his soul is still in a sluggish state. It is best to rest for a few days and replenish his condition before going there.
"Take a few days off from Sun Hang first."
Garden area, storage room.
Su Hong, who was lying on the bed, slowly opened his eyes. He opened the terminal while lying on the bed and found Sun Hang in the address book.
After a phone call, the two chatted for a while, and Su Hong got permission to ask for leave.
"Have a good rest, we'll wait for you to come back." After saying this, Sun Hang hung up the communication.
Su Hong closed the terminal and took a look at the personal information on the interface before going to sleep.

"It's much stronger than before. Now I'm afraid I can easily defeat the Uncrowned Knight without the help of Helena's mental network."
"The Dark Day of the Alliance occurs in May. Maybe then I can use the Uncrowned Knight to find the location where the Holy City is anchored in reality."
Thoughts flowed slowly, Su Hong's consciousness gradually became blurred, and he fell into a deep sleep.
…
Spider lair, alchemy room. The crucible is steaming with heat, and the scent of herbal minerals and souls is wafting out. The extraction device on the table is heated by an alcohol lamp, and soul nectar is dripping into the beaker.
Su Hong sealed the remaining soul nectar into a glass bottle and put it in a cupboard for storage.
"There are thirty-seven bottles of soul nectar in total, which is enough for the time being."
Su Hong summoned Phillip to come out and clean up the alchemy room, while he walked out.
It's now nearing the end of March, four days since the last simulation.
"It's time to set out to find the giant insect molting its shell."
But this time he didn't plan to go there alone. He planned to take Wang Chengzhi with him and let him experience it.
Su Hong made an appointment with him to meet at the Knights Temple today at noon. Calculating the time, it was almost noon, so it was time to set off now.
"Can, I'll go out and check the nest."
"Okay, Mom." Can Can climbed into the alchemy room, seemingly going to play with Phillip.
Su Hong laughed dumbly, his figure changed, turned into a shadow and flew out.
Half an hour later, he passed through abandoned towns and villages and arrived at the dawn gathering place under construction.
It is said to be a gathering place, but in fact it already has the prototype of a city.
Su Hong looked down at the city from above and saw some prototypes of the future Dawn City. Everything was developing in a good direction.
With a thought, his figure immediately appeared a hundred meters away, quickly approaching the Knights Temple.
Yang Minyi already knew the news that the fire bearer Sun Ye and Wang Chengzhi were going to meet at the Knights Temple. At this moment, he and Wang Chengzhi were greeting them downstairs in the office building.
"Mr. Chengzhi, is that the black cloud?" Yang Minyi asked, pointing to the black cloud over the city.
Wang Chengzhi was moved and nodded: "Yes, that's senior brother."
"Phew!" The shadow cloud disappeared instantly, then appeared again, falling on the ground, and condensed Sun Ye's figure.
"Senior brother!" Wang Chengzhi waved and walked towards Sun Ye, secretly suppressing his excitement.
"Long time no see." Su Hong smiled slightly.
Yang Minyi on the side stepped forward and said, "Mr. Sun Ye, good afternoon."
"Hello." Su Hong nodded to him.
Seeing that Su Hong was about to leave, Yang Minyi hurriedly asked, "Mr. Sun Ye, is the video that is currently circulating in the Immortal Forum true?"
He was referring to the video of Su Hong touching the throne.
Of course Su Hong had seen the video, but he still said calmly: "What video?"
"That Shadow Throne..." Yang Minyi tested carefully, for fear of offending the strong man in front of him.
Wang Chengzhi also looked over curiously. In fact, he had also seen the video.
It's embarrassing to say that he never knew his senior brother was so powerful.
Su Hong nodded, "Yes, that is indeed me."
"Let's go, Chengzhi." Su Hong put his palm on Wang Chengzhi's shoulder and took him away through the shadow world.
The ability to temporarily turn others into shadow beings was something he discovered recently. It seems to be the effect of enhanced shadow abilities, but the target is limited to creatures that also have shadow abilities.
People with non-shadow abilities or non-shadow creatures who are forced to perform shadow escape may have their bodies torn apart by the intertwining of reality and shadow. In severe cases, they may die on the spot.
Yang Minyi stayed where he was. After getting the confirmed news from Su Hong, he breathed a sigh of relief.
