Blocking the shy moon behind the clouds, a light rain fell in the early morning, followed by a sudden drop in temperature.
Compared to Lulu, who only considered combat supplies, Lu Yu was more thoughtfully prepared. He found the clothes he had prepared in advance and planned to put them on Lulu, who was using magic to keep out the cold.
Lulu was stunned for a moment: "I'll help you release a continuous ring of fire."
"Then we are like a bright light, attracting monsters who don't know where to hide." Lu Yu teased, "You have to consider the environment."
"If the monsters come, they will all be burned."
"A lot of them?"
"Set a bigger fire."
“…”
Lu Yu was stunned in place while holding the clothes. It was neither a matter of approval nor a rejection, so he had no choice but to shake his head and put it away.
It is obvious from Lulu's understanding that if explosions and flames cannot burn monsters, it only proves that the fire is not strong enough and the explosion is too weak. As long as both are violent enough, then all problems can be solved.
There are obvious differences in the two people's problem-solving ideas. Lu Yu felt that one day he would be led astray by Lulu because there was an obvious gap in their strength. Seeing Lulu constantly interpreting violent problem-solving ideas with her strength, he
It’s hard not to be tempted…
The fire that had been burning all night was gradually extinguished by the sudden rain. By dawn, the mountain fires had been extinguished, and the scorched earth in that area was the masterpiece of Lulu's power last night.
No one knew what Lulu was waiting for. Instead of leading the team to move on, she led everyone to stay here all night.
"Something interesting should happen at dawn."
Lu Yu felt that everything that happened last night was interesting enough.
The fisherman who turned a blind eye to their group, the monster with a human body, the incredibly strong vitality, and the monsters and beasts that fell asleep after being caught on fire.
This mountain forest is full of weirdness, and in the night when the fire is blazing, it is as quiet as death, as if everything has been put on a sign of rest.
In the drizzle, the loud chirping of birds pierced the dead silence and tore apart the silence that shrouded the mountains and forests.
Like a signal, after the first bird song, successive bird songs echoed in the ears of Lu Yu and others.
They were so noisy and active that Lu Yu thought he was hearing hallucinations.
On the big tree next to the resting place, a group of unnamed birds jumped onto the branches and chirped. When they felt the movement of Lu Yu and others getting up, they were frightened and flew into the sky, hovering around the tree.
Above the tip.
The thunderous roar of the beast briefly stopped the birdsong in the forest. Countless birds flew into the sky, leaving Lu Yu and his party to enjoy the wild roars alone.
The roars, the sounds of shrubs being rubbed, and the snapping of branches being broken were in sharp contrast to the silence last night.
Lu Yu was stunned when he saw a giant bear roaring and breaking a burnt dead tree in the distance.
The terrible burns on the giant bear's body, and the wrinkled and twisted flesh everywhere, all showed that he was in this mountain forest last night and was attacked by a wildfire.
However, he didn't move at all last night, silently being burned by the flames that almost took his life.
Sigrid was stunned. The miserable howls of countless awakened beasts and monsters echoed over the mountain forest, and most of them had obvious burn marks on their bodies.
Facing three pairs of eyes looking at her, Lulu pursed her lips and led everyone up a little higher.
"Don't ask, keep reading."
The fighting between the wild beasts has begun, perhaps because of the unbearable pain after being injured, or perhaps because of long-standing grudges. In short, all the beasts that come into contact will attack each other at almost the same time, using all possible methods to kill each other.
.
The giant bear fought against the equally huge tree demon. The roaring tiger bit the neck of the giant deer that was much larger than itself, but was hit in the face by the light ball that was unexpectedly condensed from the giant deer's body.
Door.
For a moment, the sounds of fighting replaced the irritable roars, and the smell of blood in the forest was so strong that it made people want to vomit.
Countless birds want to return to their nests but cannot, and can only hover above.
As the monsters fell one by one, the mountain forest gradually became silent, leaving only the victors patrolling the piles of corpses, as if they were showing off their skills to other potential enemies.
This long fight lasted all morning. After experiencing the battle in Blue Water City, everyone's psychological quality was frighteningly good. Looking at the river of blood below, they were still able to eat. Sigrid even ate a double portion.
The dried meat really makes people suspect that she is eating it with the meat below.
After eating and drinking, Lulu looked at the scattered beasts and suddenly turned her head and asked: "Did you find anything?"
Lu Yu chewed the dried meat and felt that the flavor was not enough. He was thinking about adding more spices to the next time he made it. When Lulu asked him such a cold question, he stood up and looked at it carefully.
It really made him see something unusual.
"Why are the bodies still there?"
After the bloody fight in the morning, the corpse of the fallen monster turned out to be even a piece of meat.
This is so unreasonable. Whether it is a beast or a monster, if it is so fierce that it must be fought to the death, it must be for survival. Since it is for survival, the body of the loser is naturally the best source of energy supplement.
But as far as the eye can see, the corpses in the area where the battle took place are really intact. Is it possible that the monsters here have the same habit of making dried meat as they do?
"No hurry, no hurry, keep reading."
The people whose curiosity was aroused were no longer in a hurry to leave the forest. They stayed at the selected high point and observed silently.
While taking turns to rest, the time soon came to evening.
As the sun sets, the birds that don't know where to go in search of food begin to return to their nests.
The wild beasts and monsters that roamed the mountains and forests also returned to their respective territories, dragging their bodies scarred from the morning's battle.
Among them, Lu Yu saw many monsters without any wounds on their bodies, like the spectators of the fight that spread throughout the mountains and forests this morning.
"Lu Yu, do you want to see the dead resurrected?"
These sudden words not only made Lu Yu's eyes widen, Sigrid and the mist demon also looked at Lulu with surprised eyes.
"You know how?" Lu Yu asked.
Valley base
"I can't, but you'll see it soon."
A strange feeling flashed through Lu Yu's mind, and with the rustling sound in his ears, he suddenly thought of a possibility.
Lulu, who had been watching Lu Yu's expression, looked pleased, as if she were a master who saw his apprentice's progress.
One after another, the corpses that had fallen and been ignored stood up again in a stiff posture.
I don't know when, but the blood that flowed on the ground after the fight had been reabsorbed back into their bodies. The land soaked with blood was as clean as the light rain in the early morning.
As the fight splashed, the pieces of meat hanging on the branches were pulled by a pair of invisible hands and stuck to the body of the corpse again.
The dead corpses are waiting for a pair of empty eyes, and their stiff bodies are twisting and turning in a daze, like puppets on the strings, walking on the road back to their lair.
Everything that happened in front of him was beyond Lu Yu's understanding. He looked at the backs of those monsters and was speechless for a long time.
"follow me."
Following Lulu and following the footprints left by the corpse, they found a lair.
Entering the lair, a bull-headed monster came into view. He was lying on the ground, sleeping soundly.
Lulu smiled as she pulled out the dagger from Sigrid's waist and stabbed it into the body of the bull-headed monster, causing blood to gush out.
The bull-headed monster still hasn't woken up, just like the countless sleeping monsters in the fire last night.
After waiting patiently for a long time, the blood that filled a small puddle seemed to be summoned by the body of the bull-headed monster and flew back to its body little by little.
With quick hands and eyes, Lulu cut off some of the blood with flames. The bull-headed monster could not feel the return of blood for a long time, and the wounds cut by the knife began to heal.
Sigrid touched it and found that everything was intact.
"What's going on?" Although Huo Gu asked her to follow Lu Yu and Lulu to gain experience, the experience this time was a bit too much, and her brain was not strong enough, so she hurriedly turned into a small bowl of summons.
Circle around Lulu.
Lu Yu had a solemn look on his face, stroking the stubble on his chin, and murmured: "Act in the morning and rest at night."
"You die in the morning, live at night, and then the cycle starts over and over again." Lulu added, "This is not a simple forest. The entire forest is operating according to established rules."
"Every creature here is acting according to this rule. That is, after waking up in the morning, they will immediately capture and kill each other. When the killing is over, the corpses will be kept in the same place. When dusk to nightfall, these corpses will come back to life again.
, returned to their respective nests to sleep, waiting for the next day... no, waiting for the next death."
"The same is true for those flying birds. They leave here during the day not to hunt for food, but because their setting is to leave here when the fighting begins and wait until dusk to come back. This is realistic."
Lu Yu suddenly thought of something: "Those uninjured monsters..."
"What a good thing we did." Lulu said, "We burned this place last night, causing the monsters that were supposed to be dormant and waiting for 'life' to become 'dead'. For this reason, the monsters that were supposed to find their opponents to fight with
They have lost their corresponding opponents... From this point of view, the number of monsters here should be maintained at an even number, and the targets they are fighting should be relatively fixed."
"Our arrival also caused other problems."
With that said, Lulu led her back to the heights of the mountain forest, and then she released a dozen orbs of light toward the top of the mountain forest, illuminating a large area.
Under the dispelling darkness, Lu Yu saw a scene where his scalp was numb.
Two goat-headed monsters with bat-like wings that walked upright were constantly turning in circles in the area burned by Lulu last night, lowering their heads from time to time and holding something with their horns.
In the mountain forest that was completely dormant, only these two sheep-headed monsters were active.
With their eyes blank, they kept doing the same operation in a loop, with an interval of no more than one minute each time.
Lu Yu already understood. Lulu was doing this when she sneaked out during her lunch break.
The caves of the two goat-headed monsters were blocked by Lulu in advance, and the goat-headed monsters who were unable to return to the cave were constantly trying.
After an unknown number of attempts, the two sheep-headed monsters lay limply on the ground. Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be asleep.
At this time, Lulu took out the blood that had just been cut off and preserved with flames. In the light of the fire, the blood did not evaporate, but persisted tenaciously for a while, and then turned into extremely fine, tiny, with a band.
There was some fluorescent dust, which completely dissipated when the mountain breeze blew.
"They have no life."
Lulu clapped her hands, a cold light flashed in her eyes, an arc of fire exploded in mid-air, and the flaming blade swept across the two goat-headed monsters, causing their heads to be dismembered in an instant.
The continuously burning sheep head turned into dust instead of charcoal. After a while, only a white sheep skull remained in place.
"They are just imitating life... To be more precise, they are imitating the 'master' of their body according to someone's imagination."
"This is a very poor imitation, because they are actually just repeating the same thing over and over again based on that person's perception."
"That person?" Lu Yu said.
"The magician, and he is also a very powerful magician. Just looking at his arrangement in this mountain forest, he is definitely at level seven or above. If you want to arrange such a thing, you can't do it without spending a lot of time.
Therefore, I can be sure that this person has always lived here after understanding the laws of the moon-carved barrier."
"It is irresponsible to speculate that everyone who comes here has become his toys."
"Then those humanoid monsters are also his works?" Sigrid asked.
"Humanoid monsters may be the guards of this continuously running magic circle. Any life that strays into it is their hunting target. Considering that most of the people who stray into this place are fishermen, the combat power of those monsters is already sufficient."
Looking at the burning fire on the goat-headed monster and smelling the scorched smell in the air, Lu Yu said to himself in confusion: "Why did he spend so much effort setting up such a magic circle?"
Lulu walked in front of Lu Yu and protected him behind her without leaving any trace. At the same time, the shield magic was also ready.
"Perhaps we could ask him himself."
In the dark night, the outline of the human figure was illuminated by Lulu's ball of light.
Not those stubborn humanoid monsters, this uninvited guest was dressed in decent clothes and a black tall hat, standing silently in the distant mountains and forests, staring at Lulu.
"Are puppet masters so good at it now... Creating life is a very bold method."
"Fire Magician, Lulutis, hello to you." Lulu politely saluted the uninvited guest, then raised her head with a smile, "Excuse me, have you seen my rabbit?"
