In view of the projection effect that can be produced by looking at it, Hero did not take it out of the card slot. He can always wear it as a halo card.
More useful than ordinary soul circuits.
"Continue to wait for them or explore further?"
Hero squatted down and observed, and after a moment of silence he said: "The underground passage we passed through the city before was not built by them."
The two Disaster Apprentices have no relevant abilities.
During the observation process, Hero never discovered that they had soul marks, and he did not find any tools that could penetrate the underground in the pseudo-horcruxes stored in them.
It shows that those who created the channel are still ahead.
"That's what I think too. When there is a mountain opening, if you can bring out such a big guy to open the way...it seems like they are bound to win." Byrne showed an uneasy look.
After all, being able to dig underground means that this team has more people than them, is more well-equipped, and has a more precise purpose.
"Let's explore the road ahead. Is it dangerous for the old man to stay with Meese and the others? Besides, without the old man to warn us, what if we are ambushed?" Byrne guessed that we might encounter an ambush while recovering his soul energy.
Difficulties.
"Before I left, the old man gave me a reassuring look. We underestimated him too much. Even if the soul energy fluctuations he burst out are not as good as those of high-level magicians, they are more than enough to deal with inexperienced apprentices. With Lilith here, he can escape
Very easy.
And I found that dogs also have a warning effect, dogs! Go! Be alert around you!"
The dog opened its abnormally big mouth, sniffed the ground for a while, and then dived into the black mist.
"You bitch? Can you really tell the difference?" Byrne was a little confused.
Hero explained: "It's the same as your chicken-footed monster house, a pseudo-horcrux similar to the product of alchemy."
He found an excuse to explain Gouzi's existence.
"It's just that it absorbed part of the pollution during the fusion process and gave birth to new characteristics. I didn't even have time to analyze it, but it is extremely easy to use. It can change the physical tissue according to the environment and needs to achieve the purpose."
As he spoke, he pointed forward, "It seems that these black mist cannot block its perception, and it is more than enough to serve as a reminder."
"If that's the case, then I'm relieved. Let's leave some information and move on?"
Hero nodded, picked up his spear and carved a secret message on the solid wall.
These secret words were mentioned in the [Moon Tower] lecture, and only old men from the same origin can distinguish the secret words from the moon.
After further burning the corpses on the ground, Hero rode on the Chickenfoot House. The two of them rode together as they did before.
The world below seemed bigger than they expected.
The further down they went, the emptier and more forked the road they found.
"The dog won't be lost, right?"
"Go this way." Helo didn't reveal the fact that Gouzi entered his soul mark. The connection between the two was implicit.
Scurrying left and right, suddenly the dog leading the way jumped out of the black mist.
With a wailing sound, he stood in front of the chicken-footed monster house.
After a sudden stop, Holo resisted the dog that jumped up to make out and asked: "What's wrong? Is there something in front of you?"
He had already had a premonition that the top floor was occupied by a group of spiders, but he did not encounter any strange guarding spirit beasts in the middle section, which was a bit abnormal.
When Gouzi heard the question, he quickly turned around and showed his ugly half-tail to Hero.
The surface of the meat tail is somewhat hardened, and hard horny spikes have grown.
Holo frowned and did not touch rashly: "Did you encounter a trap? Or is there a soul beast ahead?"
He didn't know whether the injury came from the tower's soul technique or from the soul beast's own characteristics.
The dog grinned and let out a growl, then started the performance.
It jumped forward, rolled on the ground, and rubbed its tail against the rocks, then quickly lay down on the ground and howled.
"You...alchemy product is a bit smart." The two eyes were obviously looking at each other, but Byrne was stunned to see the wisdom in the middle.
"It's not bad, its IQ seems to be growing." Holo said doubtfully.
Byrne's eyes glowed with gold.
"Weren't you envious of my chicken-footed monster house before? How about we switch? You see, you need a mount to run long distances, and I need a mount that can burst into distance in a short period of time and has the ability to detect...
"
"Stop! I'll get one for you when I figure it out. Stop talking." Holo covered his mouth angrily.
Ouch!~
The dog, who was impatient to wait, came up and put a standing pedal on Byrne's body.
"Hey, I'm still worried."
"Looking like this, it's probably because there's something in front of you, but it has nothing to do with those apprentices. It's a problem with this large cemetery. You have to be more careful."
He didn't treat the horny spikes on the dog's tail.
Because of this effort, the spikes began to be assimilated, and as the dog's mood continued to change, they disappeared and grew again after a while.
The mutant bodies that have been eroded by [The Nest] seem to be more tolerant.
Under the leadership of Gouzi, they carefully walked to the place where the crime occurred.
"This place? Doesn't it look like a natural corridor?"
Hero understood what Byrne meant, starting from here was not like the space where the phantom was naturally born.
There are obvious traces of artificial development on the surface of the wall. Just like the previous underground passage, a huge thing drilled through here and opened up the surrounding area into a smooth angle.
A whole layer of muddy material had been scraped off the wall and the ground, making it look out of place.
And in the damaged areas, a large amount of pus is growing.
There is still obvious fleshy tissue on the newly grown sharp edge, which is where the dog was injured.
"They were forcibly destroyed and developed by the guys in front, and they have the ability to regenerate themselves. The guy at the bottom got it!"
"It's really alive?! And it's very active and recovers very quickly." As pus continued to emerge from the damaged area, bubbles appeared one after another.
Hero didn't dare to stay where he was. The pus had not yet solidified and was still in a flowing liquid state, possessing very powerful toxic and corrosive capabilities.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! He is not as adaptable as a dog. If he is infected, he will have to cut off his arm to save his life.
Byrne tried to shoot an arrow at the place where the pus was gushing out, but the arrow became extremely violent as soon as it hit the ground. It did not explode when it came in contact with it, but instead made a sizzling corrosive sound.
"Can this pus corrode the soul energy? It turns out that the place we walked along is the most dangerous."
A magician will lose at least half of his strength in this environment.
The soul will melt if touched, and the soul may be corroded if touched by the body.
Holo began to look at the traces of development around him: "Did they sense that there was someone behind them, so they chose to destroy this place and make it impossible to pass?"
"I'm sure, the road was good before, but suddenly something is wrong here. The two disaster apprentices must have touched the alarm."
"I don't think it's that simple."
"Is not it?"
"Do you still remember the situation in the city at that time? We all felt that the place had become ominous and it would be dangerous if we got close, and their decision was to dig through the ground. With such a long distance and the metal plate left at the end, no matter what
Each one requires a lot of resources.”
Just building a [Gate] with a very mature formula requires a huge amount of resources, and there is a long hole running through the frozen soil of the snowfield?
Even if you have a powerful soul weapon, you will have to expend a huge amount of soul energy to support its operation.
Under the rules, how many people can they fill in?
Are top apprentices so worthless?
How many forces are involved?
He doesn't think this is a multi-party team. Everyone has their own agenda, and the probability of cooperation is slim.
"So they encountered an irresistible existence and just pushed aside to save time?"
Byrne swallowed his saliva and took another look.
The bulldozed corridor seems to have some meaning.
If it were you, and you encountered trouble like a swarm of spiders, why not spend some souls to penetrate directly to the bottom?
Before they could discuss a way to move forward, there were hurried footsteps behind them.
Hero didn't feel the familiar soul energy fluctuations, and immediately turned around to confront him with his spear.
"who?"
"It's me!" Misi emerged from the black mist with a look of embarrassment. Most of the robe on the right side was broken, revealing her fair skin.
"What happened? How could you do this?"
Helo quietly operated [Exponential Explosion] to build up strength, and several soul spells in his eyes were ready.
The purpose of leaving the old man behind was for surveillance purposes, but now only Misi is here, so the old man...
He secretly felt wary, Miz arrived a little too quickly.
"Don't be nervous, your partners are just building a blocking barrier with Ha."
"What's the meaning?"
"Shortly after you left, a deformed monster chased from the upper spider community.
It had no movement and no soul. It shuttled freely through the black mist and appeared directly behind us.
If Ha's spirit beast hadn't blocked the attack, we would all have been caught by surprise." Mis responded eagerly, wanting to dispel Hero's misunderstanding.
"where are they?"
"Right where you left the message, we were attacked during the analysis! Your partner gave me a ride! Really!"
Mis was a little anxious and wanted the two of them to go back for rescue, but Ha couldn't last long in front of the monster.
The power of that monster exceeded everyone's imagination.
Not only does it have magic resistance, but it also has solid split regeneration and speed, none of which are difficult for magicians to deal with.
Seeing that her anxious look didn't seem like she was faking it, and now that the road ahead was difficult to navigate, Helo simply asked Byrne to keep a distance from him and follow him, while he took Misi back the same way.
"Tell me in detail, what's going on with that monster that even the three of you can't deal with?"
Holo was a little puzzled by the experienced old man, Mice who had weird spiritual skills, and Ha Zhi who had a very low sense of presence and had hidden characteristics.
Three people together can't deal with one monster?
They have not encountered any enemies that are difficult to contend with on this journey, right?
"Is it possible..."
Hero thought of a possibility. If that was the case, he would indeed speed up his pace.
Once a teammate dies, will this strange place filled with black mist turn him into a new monster?
"knock!"
With a cry, the dog jumped out of the darkness and pushed Hero onto its back. Seeing that its owner was holding a woman, its back muscles began to stretch, and an extra platform appeared from its ribs to its belly.
"Sit down, we have to hurry up."
As he traveled quickly, a violent explosion came from a distance, and the turbulent black mist blew from Holo's face, and clumps of sticky substance streaked across his face, leaving spots on his face.
Hero wiped away the stains on his face in disgust, looking at the spliced monster that was temporarily tied up with wooden bars by the old man.
The new aura module [Corrosive Projection] has arrived on its head.
The [Index Explosion] that accumulated increases along the way followed the movement of soul energy, and a bright moonlight gathered above its head.
With a soft roar [Moon Energy Explosion]!
The light comparable to the clear sky in daylight dispelled all the dark fog.
Only then did Holo see clearly that the huge black shadow was followed by two of the same kind that had belatedly arrived.
