"Old man, what's the origin of this clay pot? Can you make one for me too?"
The old man who had woken up took Lilith back from Hero's hands, held her in his arms, and caressed the puppet's head lovingly.
After a brief recovery of soul energy, he quickly rescued his companions who were about to lose their strength and controlled them using the same method.
It's just that Hero's chirping pleas in his ears never stopped from beginning to end.
I'm really tired of it.
The old man controlled the two wooden limbs to lift Hero and put him on the stool. He also thoughtfully added a safety belt to prevent him from leaving the seat again and leaning against him.
"When you first met the old man, did you see him carrying this thing?" The old man's words made Hero fall into memories.
But for a moment he shook his head.
"That's alright, this thing is not just a fake Horcrux...it's very rare.
Even I only got it some time ago. If I still meet you in the market, I will give you a whole one, but the price...you have to pay it yourself."
The old man rubbed his fingers, implying that this thing was expensive.
Yes, Hero had expectations in his heart.
Just the ability to isolate and weaken knowledge characteristics is certainly not cheap. Judging from the rustling on the pot, there should be more functions that the old man has not shown.
If he wears a clay pot and holds a long contradiction card, the headless horseman will look quite handsome.
Holo did not continue to think about it, and instead asked about the feelings of several other people and the phantom of the monster that still lingered above everyone's heads.
These shadows become more real over time.
It's like the danger in a nightmare becomes clearer and clearer, but nothing can be done.
"What exactly is going on? Why do these monsters gradually transform from illusion to reality? The reason why we were controlled just now..."
As soon as he broke free from the shackles of his will, Byrne couldn't wait to ask.
"I don't know. Anyway, it started like this after I fell into the trap they ambush."
Hero responded casually and then turned to look at the old man, expecting him to give an accurate answer.
After confirming that the last restraint of Haro's will had disappeared, the old man gasped and sat down in Hero's original position.
He comforted Lilith and said, "We were careless and underestimated the weirdness here."
The black mist dissipated with the movement of his spreading wooden limbs, but was soon filled up again.
However, Hero used the black fog to see the wall of the corridor.
There are many more small branching pipes than before.
"Starting from that opening, it began to be filled with the characteristics of that... necropolis?" Hero tentatively used his own knowledge to interpret the phenomenon.
"It should be, I noticed it from the moment I fell into the restraint of will.
It is not difficult for a magician with a keen sense like me to discover the obvious characteristics of the corridor. The key is that we relax our vigilance, thinking that the path opener chooses to push horizontally and bulldozes all difficulties, thinking that the billowing rocks emerging here are
Pus is also troublesome for them.
I really didn’t expect that I would stay in the market on the ground floor and plot with those old guys every day, only to be plotted by the juniors.”
The sound of resentment coming out of the pottery pot is full of gloomy and cold meaning.
Hero, who was familiar with him, found out, and the old man became angry.
I usually don't get so angry when doing losing trades.
"They knew the characteristics of this necropolis in advance, so they left traps there to divert our attention and fall into the influence of the characteristics unprepared."
"It's indeed insidious. If it were an ordinary magician's trap, the more powerful one would be discovered by the perception magician in advance, while the less powerful one would have no effect on us.
Only by creating chaos and getting us caught up in regional characteristics will it create the most trouble for us, thereby delaying the progress of our pursuit."
Ha Zhi also participated in the discussion at this time: "They know this place very well, and with this skill, most of the apprentice pursuers will be tricked!"
Whether it is the arrogant guys in the Tower of the Sun or the disaster guys, one of them is one of them. After being attacked, their wills are bound and they fall into the pus. They cannot escape and can only be buried in the regrown tunnel.
middle.
The apprentice's knowledge cannot explain what happened here.
Hero had reason to suspect that there was an experienced old man hiding in the front team.
It is true that one more person means more strength.
What Holo was unclear about before, he figured it out after a few people discussed it in a few words.
But what puzzled him was the monster above everyone.
"As for these monsters..."
"These should be the projections of systems or soul circuits in reality."
The old man, whose voice was still cold, recovered some soul energy and said to everyone.
"You may not know the situation of others, but you should all know yourselves."
"Then why don't you have one on your head?"
Hero asked everyone's doubts.
Among all the people, only the old man did not have the ghost of a monster on his head.
"That's because... Lilith is my embodiment."
"What?"
"Many magicians may not necessarily know what their embodied representation is, even if they have reached a certain level.
That is about the direction of their future paths. Some are embodiments of souls, some are embodiments of circuits, and many more are embodiments of systems, but no matter which one is just the direction of controlling oneself and improving the soul.
And the way I control myself is with Lilith. As for you... this place is really magical. It can unconsciously manifest the most suitable version of your body and soul. Of course, the price is likely to be that your consciousness is bound.
"
Hero looked up at the top of his head. The ferocious spider lowered its head and looked back with its terrifying compound eyes.
He knew in his heart that this was definitely not the embodiment of his future.
There are two sets of soul circuits, two soul beasts in the soul seal, and even his soul may be two sets.
This spider is just an imitation that he evolved through [Nightmare Swallowing Complete Appearance].
It appears in an environment that suits it.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But it can deceive others.
Everyone present did not know what their soul circuits and the manifestation of the [Chaos] system were.
As the old man said, don't understand other people.
But you have to know yourself.
In this regard, such a place where he could manifest his true nature aroused his interest.
"Take advantage of the opportunity now to fully appreciate the feeling of embodiment. It will be beneficial to you in the future, but it will continue to consume your physical strength and soul energy, and in severe cases, you will fall into the constraints of consciousness again.
Do what you can, and next I will focus on exploring the traps on the path and the wonders of this area, so I have no time to take care of you."
The old man held Lilith in his arms, his revengeful heart already aimed at the group in front.
Every piece of his soul energy is extremely precious now.
Holo was the first to turn off the embodiment of the spider, which was an illusion that evolved from the realization.
In addition, he had fallen into weakness before, and he was the first among several people to notice the changes in his soul.
He stayed at the front and learned the old man's method of perception.
After a brief silence, the old man said: "If you have nothing to do, you can seize the time to restore your soul energy. I may not participate in the next battle."
"Don't worry, just stay behind us. Leave those brats to me."
Holo was obviously full of fire. When the embodied spider crawled back into the void, he inadvertently saw several other monsters hidden behind the void.
I wonder if several different monsters would appear above him at the same time if he didn't create a completely fake one.
He didn't want others to notice that something was wrong with him.
The stool and chair were shaken by the three corpses and came out of the pus.
As soon as he landed, after confirming that there was no follow-up to this thrilling journey, Hero chose a fire to burn all the spider swarms together with the newly born spider eggs.
The pus behind him is still gushing out. At this speed, it will take a long time for the tunnel to solidify again and form a hard wall.
I don’t know what they used to cause so much damage to the main body of the necropolis.
It seemed that the people in front did not expect that the apprentices behind could survive the pus safely. Hero and the old man explored the front for a long time but did not notice the new trap again.
