Even though he was mentally prepared, Lu Yu was still shocked when he saw Sphenoid Gu in the barn. If it weren't for the portrait, Lu Yu would really not have been able to recognize the person in front of him.
She was lying in the grain pile with unkempt hair, and the oozing blood had soaked the grain behind her red. One of her sphenoid legs was bent at a ninety-degree angle, and the blood stained her trouser legs. After drying, it stuck to her skin, and there was a buzzing sound from time to time.
The annoying flies stayed on the wounds to feast, and even Lu Yu's arrival still failed to disturb them.
The sound of footsteps shook the sphenoid bone, and the look in her eyes that were covered by her hair was gone. She murmured weakly, but the words she uttered were not words of survival.
"Kill me...I know...I've said it all...No, I didn't lie...You guys, just kill me..."
An experienced adventurer who gained wealth by accepting commissions begged for death rather than life. Lu Yu could not imagine what she had encountered in the past few days.
In order not to irritate the sphenoid bone, Lu Yu stopped two or three places away from her and slowly squatted down.
"I am the summoner who came to trade, and the puppet master who imprisoned you has been killed by me."
Sphenoid slowly raised his head, stared at Lu Yu, and showed an ugly smile: "I really have nothing to say... What I said before was all the truth, no need to test it anymore... Please."
Lu Yu returned again with the four puppet master's heads and threw them in front of the sphenoid bone: "Let's take a look."
Sphenoid touched her head in disbelief, feeling the still-warm flesh and blood with her almost numb fingertips. Light suddenly appeared in her eyes, and her face, as pale as paper, became incredibly rosy.
"伱...what on earth are you...no, am I being fed a potion by them again? Isn't this a lie..."
"It's more troublesome to explain. Now I want to take you out of here. There are also their partners in the Earl of Evil Beasts. They jointly planned and killed five wild mages, and I broke this thing... I don't
I think they will stop when they find out."
Let Xu Yu pick up the sphenoid bone, which rekindled the desire to survive, and cover her with a thick layer of fleece blanket, and Lu Yu quickly left the mansion.
Shortly after they left, four pharmacists came outside the mansion. After confirming that the puppet slaves were still operating normally, they were complaining about the carelessness of the puppet masters and did not even close the door. They saw in the hall "
The mummy of the housekeeper and the blood on the ground.
When Lu Yu was trapped in the room, he noticed something abnormal and decisively killed him for a moment while trying to activate the communication circle, and he became addicted to blood-sucking for a long time.
Unlike the vampires, Xu Jin only liked to suck it, but not to eat it. Therefore, before quickly returning to Lu Yu, she simply tossed the fresh paint like a child and allowed it to draw wonderful patterns.
This purgatory-like scene frightened the four elderly pharmacists. Not knowing what happened, the four quickly retreated and summoned others.
After a while, more than ten magicians gathered in the mansion. They walked through the blood-soaked hall and looked at the butler's mummy solemnly. They saw the giant bear puppet on the top floor full of holes and brittle body, as well as the mottled falling sand.
walls and stone bricks as brittle as sand.
A huge hole appeared in the wall of the small house used to restrain and imprison magicians. From the inside to the outside, the magicians could not imagine what kind of person could deliver such a blow while suppressing magic power.
"Embrittlement... This is true for the corridors on this floor and the giant bear. Whoever has mastered the power of embrittlement is a dangerous trick that can kill the caster himself!"
"Don't scare yourself. Even an eighth-level magician cannot master the power of embrittlement. This is a method of stripping away the magic power from infiltrated objects. It has only appeared in wrong experiments."
"The magic power that permeates here and has not yet dissipated is only at the sixth level. There is no doubt that the opponent is a sixth-level magician."
The person who checked the basement hurriedly shouted: "The sphenoid bone has disappeared, and the heads of Gedul and others have been cut off."
The expressions of everyone present instantly turned gloomy. No matter who visited this place, and no matter what happened, he must be shut up forever.
The magic wave did give them an opportunity to overturn the table, but they had just experienced the disaster. All the tribes in Mela were recuperating and were not ready to fall into another chaos. It was already very dangerous for them to secretly act in the Earl of Evil Beasts.
, must not be true to the facts!
With the help of the magician's identity, clues were quickly found.
"I didn't see the injured person, but I did see two people passing by in a hurry. One of them was holding a long roll of something in his hand. I don't know what it was."
"Oh, I seem to have some impression when you describe it this way. Someone asked for news at the nearby blacksmith shop in the morning, and then left a group of very strong Pegasus in the tavern over there to rest. Not long ago, he and his companions hurriedly returned and left the city.
"
There were enough eyewitness records from passers-by along the way. Everyone quickly gathered and rushed out to follow the direction pointed by the clues. Just in case, they divided into several groups and brought along domesticated monsters with sensitive sense of smell.
Compared to Pegasus, a group of magicians cast spells together, and the continuously strengthening amplification magic was obviously faster. In the blink of an eye, one of the giant wolf monsters raised reacted.
"The smell can already be sensed and has entered the scope of pursuit."
…
…
Lu Yu sensed the threat from behind, and the speed of the Pegasus had reached its limit. In order to fly long distances, he chose one that was good at endurance rather than speed this time.
Being able to lock his own aura from such a distance, Lu Yu guessed that he either carried a monster with extremely strong senses, or that there was some special magic residue on the sphenoid bone to facilitate locking.
After the explanation, Sphenoid endured the severe pain in his body and performed a self-examination. Xu also assisted him for a moment, confirming that the other party was not smart enough to lay the groundwork in advance.
The Pegasus was already out of breath, and it was very easy to carry Lu Yu alone. Now there were two people, and they had to keep moving forward quickly. Even if they had good endurance, they had just arrived at the Earldom of Evil Beasts after a long flight in the morning, and they started to rush again before they could get any rest. He began to feel overwhelmed.
Already.
Amidst the howling wind, the sphenoid bone heard the strenuous "whirring" of the Pegasus and felt its constant trembling, but it tried hard to maintain its shape.
"may I know your name?"
"Lu Yu." This was almost a subconscious answer. At this time, Lu Yu was thinking about countermeasures.
"Mr. Lu Yu, I told a lie... I didn't know what the new power was. I just tried to summon it accidentally and inexplicably summoned strange monsters. Then I couldn't successfully restore them..."
"I was so excited that I made stupid decisions. I have been cautious for decades, but the unknown knowledge and power are right in front of me, and I am located in the Earl of Evil Beast... 'Maybe it's okay',
When I thought about it, I came up with the idea of trading, hoping that someone with real knowledge could enlighten me..."
"It was my greed that caused me to summon the disaster... This is my disaster and it has nothing to do with you. If you leave me, you and your companions should have a chance to escape. After all, you can kill five puppet masters in an instant.
people."
Lu Yu, who was deep in thought, listened to Sphenoid Gu's words and chuckled: "Is killing a puppet master something that should be shocking? I am someone who has fought against a ninth-level puppet master."
"Okay, let's stop the confession before death. I just want you to tell me whether you have really successfully carried out a summons, and it was through a special 'template'."
Sphenoid nodded heavily and emphasized in a hoarse voice: "I am sure that I started trying after the news of Lord Glutton's defeat came out. After all, I have some previous summoning foundation... But I only succeeded once. So far, I have
I don’t understand how it was successful that time.”
"That group of people imprisoned me and tried to force me to ask for more details. I have told them everything I know, but they still think that I have hidden the core secret and continue to torture me..."
Lu Yu couldn't help but feel lucky for Sphenoid Bone. If she really mastered that knowledge, with the professional categories of that group of people and such a luxurious lineup, it would be useless no matter how hard she spoke, the deepest secrets in her heart would sooner or later be revealed.
come out.
It just so happens that she doesn't understand how she succeeded, so she survives and prevents that knowledge from falling into the hands of a group of villains.
"How many details of a successful summons can you recall?"
"Being tortured and tortured repeatedly by them... some parts are particularly clear, and other parts may require some imagination."
"Enough, you must live, I am very interested in the knowledge in your mouth!"
Lu Yu slapped the Pegasus, but it still flew a little farther stubbornly as it did its duty, and then slowly stopped. At this time, its snow-white skin was already red, as if there were blood drops, and it was covered in sweat.
With some weak wings.
"When we land, we won't run away."
The pegasus that fell into the dense forest turned its head and stared at Lu Yu. Lu Yu put his arms around its neck and stroked it gently: "Thank you for your hard work. If, I mean if...an accident happens, you run away quickly and come back."
You must remember the road led by the morning sun."
The sphenoid bone on the horse turned over hard and grimaced after the fall, and blood oozed from the wound again.
"Mr. Lu Yu, it's not too late to regret it now."
After a while, he helped her to the side of the tree and shook his finger at her: "Don't you understand? Your knowledge is very important to us. It can save us a lot of time to explore. Little lucky boy, lie down obediently.
Let your sister Xuyu help you solve the problem."
After a while, he walked to Lu Yu and heard him say: "It's the same as the judgment just now. There are four people, carrying a monster, the type is unknown. Considering that there is no large communication circle coverage, their information transmission will take time."
Xu was eager to fight and said: "In other words, as long as we kill faster than the opponent's reinforcements... the problem is not a problem."
As he spoke, he briefly revealed his small wings and the dense eyeballs on them.
"I won't restrict you and the Flesh Chariot this time."
"Can you summon a chariot of flesh and blood?" His eyes widened for a moment, "When?"
Lu Yu felt the impulse from the summoning ceremony and said excitedly: "Just now."
