Chapter 401 Who is the prey
"Are you still there?" After working with the female leader to deal with a seven-meter-tall monster, Alice and the female leader immediately retreated to the side of Eyeless Aunt, and then asked in a low voice.
Since entering the Black City, the battles they have encountered have not stopped. After so many battles, the cooperation between the three of them has become more skilled, and their respective abilities have begun to become highlighted.
For example, Grandma Wumu can sense the enemy in advance, and can even predict which way is safer to take, and can easily find the monster's weaknesses during battle.
Alice has the ability to block the perception of the outside world. As long as her power is fully exerted, even if a group of people walks to the feet of the giant monster, the giant monster will not be able to detect it. If necessary, it can reversely block the monster's perception, making it
Completely losing all perception of the outside world.
As for the female leader, she has stronger attack power. Her spear seems to be endowed with some indestructible property. Any monster stabbed by it, no matter how strong the stabbed part is, instantly seems to become a
Like fragile paper, it can be easily pierced. Stabbing the monster's vitals is almost equivalent to blessing the instant death effect.
The cooperation of the three people can be said to be complementary to each other and perfect. It will be difficult for any monster encountered to survive with their cooperation. If no accident occurs, they will not have any trouble before reaching the Holy Hall.
However, not long ago, after they worked together to deal with a ten-meter-tall giant monster, Wu Mu suddenly sensed an evil thought full of danger. This evil thought was very close to them, and most of it fell.
On her body, she also felt that if Alice and the female leader hadn't returned to her in time, the source of the evil thoughts might have already attacked her.
Aunt Wumu secretly told Alice and the female leader that she had sensed evil thoughts. She originally planned to use her senses to find out where the evil thoughts were, and the three of them worked together to eliminate the source of the evil thoughts.
But what surprised her was that her previous invincible induction seemed to have failed this time, because she sensed that this evil thought was floating around them without any fixed position. One second it might be behind them, but the next second it had already moved there.
Ahead, there seemed to be a force interfering with her senses, causing her to have wrong perceptions.
Since then, this evil thought has not disappeared and has always been around them. Moreover, the evil thought is no longer just aimed at Aunt Wumu. Alice and the female leader have also experienced it, but they have not sensed it.
, several times when the two of them were dealing with the giant monsters they encountered, their evil thoughts suddenly turned to them, and they strongly indicated that they wanted to attack the two of them. At this time, the two of them were attacking the monsters, and a lot of their bodies were exposed.
Fatal flaw.
Fortunately, Aunt Wumu reminded the two of them in time so that they could pay attention to their own protection in advance, so that the source of this evil thought did not take action.
Although Grandma Wumu can always sense evil thoughts and judge the timing of the opponent's attack based on the strength of the evil thoughts, so she can give warnings in advance, but she has to be wary of possible sudden attacks at all times, and her spirit is always in a state of tension, let alone
For someone like Aunt Wumu who is not very strong, even a body as strong as the female leader's body is a little too much to bear.
All three of them knew very well that if they continued like this, they might make some fatal mistakes due to over-stretched nerves before they reached the Holy Hall.
Therefore, the three of them exchanged their views in a very tacit understanding and decided to take the initiative to lure the source of the evil thoughts and solve this trouble as soon as possible.
After making the decision, Aunt Wumu will look for some relatively weak giant monsters through induction. When Alice and the female leader attack the monsters, they will also deliberately reveal some seemingly fatal flaws, and Aunt Wumu will also appear in the scene.
At this time, try to stay away from the protection of Alice and the female leader as much as possible, because she has other life-saving means, which are enough to save her life the moment a fatal attack occurs, and can also delay the attacker.
However, the source of this evil thought was very shrewd. They deliberately exposed their flaws many times but were not fooled, which made the three of them a little anxious.
Faced with Alice's inquiry, Grandma Wumu nodded slightly. After being aware of the surrounding situation for a long time, her spirit became extremely tired. Her originally pale face became even whiter now, and there was a look of fatigue between her eyebrows.
It was no longer possible to hide it, and it was obvious that if she continued, it would not be long before she would no longer be able to make any precise perceptions.
"You should take a rest." The female leader looked at the tired Aunt Wumu with worry.
In response to this, Aunt Wumu just shook her head and said: "Let's keep moving forward. I will find a shortcut to reach the Holy Hall in the shortest time. No matter what, I will..."
Just as they were talking, another wave of earthquakes occurred, and this time the shaking was so strong that the pillars of a huge stone house next to them could not withstand it. The surface cracked and collapsed under the pressure of the heavy roof.
The sudden collapse of the building also disrupted the positions of the three people. In order to avoid the huge falling stones, the three of them chose the most suitable position to avoid, and this avoidance caused the three of them to be separated by the falling stones.
Different positions, no one can rush to help another person in the shortest time.
At this moment, Wu Mu sensed that the evil thoughts became stronger instantly, and she immediately realized in her heart that the other party had decided to take action, and the target was obviously her who was the weakest in actual combat.
Aunt Wumu instantly activated the magic she had prepared long ago. This is a magic given by the victims, called extreme endurance. This magic can make the caster's physical fitness improve by leaps and bounds in a short period of time.
It has been improved to the point where it can withstand any extreme environment, including attacks, and the body's self-healing ability has also been improved. As long as the head is not fatally injured, even if the heart is broken, it can heal quickly, and even directly grow a new one.
heart.
Almost at the same time that Wumu activated her magic, a huge black shadow appeared in front of her out of thin air. Along with the black shadow, there was also a pair of extremely sharp claws, which easily chopped up the surrounding area.
The hard rock swept towards her, and the sharp claws attacked not only her heart, but also towards her head.
Aunt Wumu instantly judged that her magic could not withstand the attack of the claws, and based on the position of the opponent's attack, she could not escape death even with her powerful self-healing ability.
The appearance of the black shadow naturally alarmed Alice and the female leader. However, they were unable to rush for help because of their current position. They could only watch the monster's sharp claws attack the head and heart of the Eyeless Mother.
Just when everyone present and the monster thought that the Eyeless Mother would inevitably die, the monster's attack suddenly stopped. Its claws were only a few centimeters away from the Eyeless Mother, and then the monster's huge body came from the middle.
It was separated and broken in half, all kinds of disgusting internal organs and dirty blood were scattered on the ground, and behind the monster figure, there was a normal person holding a long sword.
After seeing the person clearly, all three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Aunt Wumu felt that her evil thoughts had completely disappeared, her spirit relaxed, and her body felt limp and weak, so she had to sit on the ground. When the female leader saw Aunt Wumu sitting on the ground, she thought she was injured.
She quickly stepped forward to check the situation. Alice, on the other hand, focused on the person coming and said with a smile: "You showed up just in time. If you hadn't taken action, she might have fed the monster today."
"I actually caught up with you a long time ago, but I just found that there was a monster hunting you, and the monster has special abilities. I was not sure that I could take it down with one blow, so I kept following behind, waiting for the opportunity." The person came from the shadows.
He came out and responded.
I saw that the person who saved the Wumu Mama was none other than Leo, who had caught up with the three of them earlier. He had been lurking nearby, staring at the monster that could move in space. Finally, at the moment when the monster attacked the Wumu Mama
, found the monster's flaw, and killed it with one blow before it could harm the Eyeless Aunt.
Alice asked with some confusion: "Why did you come out of the trial area so slowly? Are you lost? We thought something happened to you."
"The place I went to should be different from you." Leo shook off the sticky blood on the cross sword and replied.
"It's different?" Not only Alice was puzzled when she heard this, but even the resting Aunt Wumu and the female leader looked at Leo in confusion. They knew very well that what Leo said was different did not mean the same person.
Different locations in a region, but completely different places.
"Where have you been?" Alice couldn't help but asked in curiosity.
"Anor Londo." Leo did not mention the place where everything ended and the royal city, but the city above the city where the gods lived.
However, a surprising scene appeared. Neither Alice nor Grandma Wumu had any abnormal reaction to the name. They just had thoughtful looks on their faces. It was obvious that they were looking for clues related to the name in their memories. But
However, the female leader showed a completely different expression from the two of them. Her eyes were wide open and her expression was full of surprise. She opened her mouth to ask but had no concerns but did not ask. It was obvious that she knew what Anor Londo meant.
"Do you know the royal city?" Leo naturally noticed the look on the female leader's face and asked immediately.
When Alice and Aunt Wumu heard this, they also noticed something strange about the female leader, so they looked at the female leader in unison.
The female leader hesitated for a moment and explained: "There is a legend in our tribe that our ancestors came from a place called the Royal City. It was a city built by the gods. The gods lived in Anor Londo above the Royal City.
Later, for unknown reasons, my ancestors left the royal city, passed through the endless fog filled with countless dangers, and finally came to Velen and settled in the wilderness of the Mosang continent."
After hearing the female leader's explanation, the three of them all showed surprise, but the direction of their surprise was different.
Alice and Eyeless Aunt were surprised that Anor Londo was a city where the gods lived, and that the royal city was actually a mixture of humans and gods. This was simply unthinkable in the world of Velen. What surprised Leo was that
How the female leader came to the world of Velen, because this experience also confirmed his earlier guess.
The initial location of the Royal City is in the same world as Velen, which means that the other worlds where the Royal City is used as an outpost are also the same world, but they are all divided into different zones by the fog.
At this time, Leo suddenly remembered the psychic mark he left on the living dead Joey, so he tried to sense it. However, Yam Island is a special subspace fragment and is not in the same world as Velen, so
No sensation.
"Have you seen the gods? Is Anor Londe really a city where the gods live?" Alice couldn't help but asked out of curiosity.
Aunt Wumu also looked at Leo with inquiry. Although she had been in contact with the victims of her faith all year round, no matter how close the contact was, it was just a hazy feeling, as if she was separated by a layer of fog and could not see clearly.
The image of gods, as the most classic sentence in all religious scriptures says, gods are invisible.
But now there was a city where gods lived, and they lived among mortals. Her first thought was not to doubt the authenticity of this matter, but to want to know what the gods were like.
As for the female leader, she is full of expectations. After all, the place Leo has been to before can be said to be her hometown. She has grown up listening to similar legends since she was a child. She did not believe these legends before, but now someone has been there.
Yes, that means the legends about her ancestors are true, and she wants to know more details.
It's a pity that they are destined to be disappointed. Leo has no intention of going into details about the Royal City. After all, the embers, the fire of origin, etc. cannot be explained for a while, so he simply responded: "The gods have left.
The royal city has been abandoned."
After hearing this, the three of them all showed a little disappointment, thinking that the royal city that Leo went to was just an empty ruins, and it did not prove that the gods really lived there.
"Are you still able to walk? This doesn't seem to be a suitable place to rest." Leo looked at a ten-meter-tall giant monster moving towards this direction in the distance, so he reminded the three of them.
"You can go." Aunt Wumu, whose face looked a little better, stood up, dusted herself off, frowned again, and said, "My induction is temporarily unavailable, and it may take some time before I can go."
use."
"It's okay, come with me!" Leo motioned to the female leader to help Aunt Wumu, then nodded to Alice, turned around and prepared to leave.
However, just as he took a step, he suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at the pile of monster corpses, and then under the gaze of Alice and the others, he walked into the pile of corpses, stirred in the smelly internal organs, and extracted from the corpses.
I grabbed a ruby-like object.
"What is this?" Alice looked at this gem-like object curiously. They had killed many monsters before, but they had never found such a thing in the monster's body.
"An interesting thing." Leo didn't answer directly. He put the thing directly into his pocket, then turned around and led the way.
When the three of them saw that Leo didn't answer, they didn't continue to ask, and quickly followed him.
