Although most of the shadows were unaware of the chaos in the distance and had left, a small number of them were still keeping their eyes on Gu Shi and the other two.
"Left! Hide! Quick, quick, now go up!" Under Gu Shi's command, Thanos moved flexibly through the streets of the city.
While Thanos was swimming forward quickly, he also had to deal with the dark shadows that pounced on him. Naturally, he had no time to observe the surrounding situation, so Gu Shi took on the responsibility of commanding the direction.
After these days of fighting together, the two of them have developed a fairly deep tacit understanding. At least now, even if Gu Shi only gives orders with brief words, Thanos can quickly understand what he means.
All of the shadows' long-range attacks were blocked by Gu Shi's shield. Thanos now only needed to deal with some close-range shadows. The pressure was not particularly great, but this state could not be maintained for long.
As the two of them moved deeper and deeper, the more powerful black shadows inside the city that were not attracted also followed them.
Gu Shi watched as the dark shadows surrounding the two of them grew larger and larger. Even if Thanos didn't speak, he knew that Thanos couldn't hold on for much longer.
While helping Thanos resist the attacks of the black shadows, Gu Shi was also paying attention to Thanos's energy consumption.
Seeing that Thanos's physical strength and magic power had been mostly consumed, Gu Shi was about to retreat with regret, but he suddenly caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye.
Gu Shi shouted excitedly: "Thanos, hold on a little longer!"
In order to prevent the two people from hitting any transparent barrier and crashing together, Gu Shi took out a heavy piece of ore from the space ring and threw it forward with force.
The flying ore encountered no obstacles and landed smoothly in the open space.
Gu Shi saw this scene and said to Thanos happily: "Go right!"
Following Gu Shi's words, Thanos also noticed the strange open space in front of him on the right. There seemed to be some kind of barrier around that place, and all the shadows actively avoided it.
In the slightly crowded environment around here, the open space in the front right is particularly conspicuous.
Thanos took a deep breath and decided not to fight with the black shadow in front of him anymore. He released a range combat skill, knocking away all the black shadows around him. Then he adjusted the angle and rushed towards the open space.
Gu Shi also cooperated with Thanos's actions and used magic to clear a way for him. With the concerted efforts of the two, the distance between them and the clearing was rapidly closing.
Just when the safe zone was within reach, an obstacle suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
When Gu Shi and the other man were only two or three meters away from the safe zone, a dark shadow suddenly appeared like a ghost, blocking their way.
If Thanos had not reacted quickly and braked the car in time, the two of them would have crashed directly into the black shadow.
Thanos was not keen on fighting. Seeing that the road ahead was blocked, his first reaction was to change direction and continue moving forward. After all, both he and Gu Shi were not in very good condition now, so the most urgent thing was to enter the safe zone and rest for a while.
It’s a pity that when Thanos wanted to leave, the black shadow was not going to let him go. After he changed direction, the black shadow moved and immediately stuck close to him.
Gu Shi tried to stop him, but the black shadow dodged several consecutive wind blades with ease. The black shadow was incredibly agile in the water.
Under the opponent's relentless pursuit, Thanos and Gu Shi had to fight with the black shadow several times in succession, and they also discovered the abnormality of the black shadow.
After fighting with the black shadows these days, Gu Shi and the others have learned a lot about them.
Although the facial features of these shadows cannot be seen clearly, they still have vision and hearing, but they seem to lack thinking ability.
According to the two's speculation, these black shadows should have inherited the strength and fighting skills of the scale owner, but they have no reason. They are like beasts, fighting entirely based on their body instincts.
But the black shadow in front of him was obviously different. Compared with other black shadows, not only was his combat capability much higher, he even knew how to use tactics.
His every move revealed a sense of orderliness that other shadows did not have. After making a mistake once, he would not make the same mistake again.
Gu Shi couldn't help but frown. This guy was really a bit tricky, and now he and Thanos were in poor condition. If they continued to fight, they would be the only ones at a disadvantage.
Gu Shi pursed his lips and whispered to Thanos, "Remember not to resist my spell later."
Although Thanos didn't know what plan Gu Shi had come up with, out of trust in Gu Shi, he nodded in cooperation.
Gu Shi clenched the staff in his hand, and with his continuous output of magic power, a waterspout appeared out of thin air in the sea.
Almost at the same time as the waterspout appeared, a large amount of foam also appeared. This was created by Gu Shi using magic. Although it was not known whether it was useful, it should be able to blur the opponent's vision to some extent.
Gu Shi deliberately chose a location not far from them to release the waterspout, so when it appeared, it naturally covered the location where Gu Shi and the other two were.
At this time, Thanos also understood Gu Shi's plan, so he took the initiative to dive into the waterspout and stabilized his body in the waterspout with his superb swimming skills.
Seeing the huge waterspout coming towards him, the black shadow subconsciously dodged it. When he realized something was wrong, the waterspout had already come behind him.
After the waterspout passed over the black shadow, Thanos quickly seized the opportunity and rushed into the safe zone with Gu Shi.
The black shadow turned around and stared at the two people in the safe zone for a while, then disappeared into the darkness.
After seeing the black shadow disappear, Gu Shi breathed a sigh of relief. "It seems the crisis is over for now. How are you? Are you seriously injured?"
Thanos stretched his body, then waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's just a minor injury. A bottle of magic potion will heal it completely."
As he spoke, Thanos took out a bottle of potion specially made by the mermaids from his space, ready to recover from his injuries, but found that Gu Shi had been staring at his potion bottle.
Thanos shook the bottle in his hand in confusion, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this potion?"
Gu Shi shook his head. "No, because this is the first time I've seen a mermaid potion, so I'm a little curious."
Mermaids live in the sea. Liquid potions like those used by humans are too troublesome for them to use and are easily lost, so their potions are all semi-solid gel-like in texture.
Gu Shi couldn't help but take a few more glances.
