Facing the flames coming towards his face, Xiao An spit out a large mouthful of bluish-gray juice, which stuck to the puppet that had been burnt to only its skeleton, temporarily containing the strange smoke that was constantly rising.
At the critical moment, Lu Yu's brain was running rapidly, and he quickly opened the backpack he was carrying.
Every time he went out, Lulu always thoughtfully put a bunch of bottles and cans in his backpack. There were about ten bottles in total, enough to deal with various emergencies.
Although Lu Yu was close to the sixth level in the recent test, his status as a summoner prevented him from focusing on actual magic combat, and therefore he was unable to get rid of the traditional weakness of the summoner's high reliance on summoned objects.
As a high-level magician, Lulu knew very well that the higher the level of magicians, the less likely they were to play tricks on magic. They were more inclined to gain an advantage first and then expand it little by little.
Just taking a look at the contents carefully marked on the bottles of liquid and dust cans in his backpack, Lu Yu still showed a knowing smile even though he had fallen into the trap.
"As Sera said, Lulu is the best like this."
Lu Yu picked up a bottle of potion that had a similar color to the brewed black sesame paste and drank it in one gulp. He swallowed it quickly for fear of tasting it.
It turned out that this approach was correct. The bitterness brought by the medicine sliding over his tongue made him feel refreshed and his whole body trembled.
Inhaling the smoke and dust that filled the air made Lu Yu's body become a little heavy and his vision was a little blurry, but it was this bitterness that made him regain his clarity again.
He didn't breathe, but held his breath and concentrated, and he and Xiao An were alert to the changes around them.
This was the longest time Lu Yu had held his breath. Due to his high vigilance, he briefly lost the concept of time. When he came to his senses, the effect of the medicine had already taken effect.
Facing the added white smoke seeping into the room from the cracks, he turned a blind eye and tried to mobilize the magic power. Then he felt an obvious sluggishness. As expected, the normal flow of magic power was being cut off. The room and the energy stored in Lu Yu's After all the magic power is consumed, he will become an ordinary person.
"Very thorough preparations." He casually threw a whirlwind at the balcony that had been blocked by mud. Purple-black ripples flickered in the void. Before the whirlpool made contact, it was visibly weakened by the naked eye.
Looking at Mela, there were only a few who used magic-breaking materials as building materials as extravagantly as the Dawn Leader. What Lu Yu faced was a magic circle designed to curb magic and strangle magicians.
"I didn't feel any obvious magic suppression after I came in. The concealment is better than what Lulu and Sera described."
After confirming the opponent's layout, Lu Yu took out a can filled with red dry powder painted with the "Fireworks" logo by Lulu, and another can filled with clear and bright liquid, but marked "Skull" Logo of cans.
According to the detailed operating instructions on the can, Lu Yu introduced the liquid into the powder, and added a tiny amount of corresponding magic power as required.
"shake."
"Shake it."
"Throw it out."
The canned food, which was already shining with festive colors, rolled towards the door that had been frozen hard at some point.
"Keep your distance and avoid being within the direct range of the explosion."
Silently reciting the operation instructions, Lu Yu hid in the corner and entered the process of setting up shields. Lulu taught him step by step how to stack the life-saving elemental shields one on top of another, with Xiao An's physical body in front of him.
There was a loud bang, the bricks shattered, and the frozen door was torn into powder in an instant. The impact knocked the desk and bookshelf in front of Lu Yu into pieces.
"The soundproofing array is really an excellent work." Stepping on the messy bricks and stones after the explosion, Lu Yu was filled with emotion. "When you go back, you have to ask Lulu to pay attention to it and write down the note on soundproofing."
The situation of suppressing magic is a dead end for most magicians. Without strong enough magic power to break the barrier, they will only become mermaids and become prisoners.
But Lu Yu had a solution. As long as he had the magic power for detonation, Lulu's explosives could blow up walls that could not be broken apart with brute force.
Lu Yu's dry body was filled again, and the hidden Xu returned from nowhere for a moment.
"There are quite a few people on this floor."
When he visited, Lu Yu also used magic power to detect, and for a while, the invisible person quietly sensed it, but no one else was found. Now it seems that the other party used a magic circle to isolate his own breath.
"I don't believe that Sphenoid, a magician who started out as an adventurer, could make this preparation."
A magic circle that suppresses magic, a magic circle that isolates breath, and a woman who has been rumored to be alone for a long time suddenly has an additional "companion".
Lu Yu's caution and vigilance during the journey were washed away by the peaceful daily life of Chenxi Leader. The rules against private fighting in the Earl of Evil Beast made him relax some of his vigilance.
Sphenoid's home is in the wealthy area of Codezon.
"You can't allow someone to ignore the rules and offend a country and a knight in the border city of Codezon, right?"
Such an idea is indeed a bit naive. After entering the magic wave, the bottom line of magicians is lowering. The desire for power and greed for knowledge make them crazy. It is obvious that many people no longer intend to abide by the rules and turn over the table to reopen. The abacus of the card game was loud and clear.
Seeing the bricks and stones in the corridor bouncing and squirming, and the stairs that were supposed to be not far away starting to rotate and deviate, Lu Yu said loudly: "You don't plan to let me walk out of here, right?"
"Hunting mages openly in the Earl of Evil Beasts, using extremely threatening magic in an area where rich and powerful people gather, violates the laws of Codezon. Once the bloodshed rules of the Earl of Evil Beasts are known, even if No matter how powerful the people behind you are, they can’t save you.”
At the end of the corridor, the lighting crystal flickered on and off. There was a group of people at the end of the corridor. Lu Yu took a closer look. There were five people in total. They had a sense of age. They were teenagers, young people in their twenties, thirty to forty years old. A middle-aged woman, an old man entering his twilight years, and a haggard dying person.
Different from the dolls and the possessed undead, this time Lu Yu felt the breath of the living on them.
"Who are you?" A young man in his twenties pushed the dying man in a wheelchair forward.
"Do you need to introduce yourself?" Lu Yu responded coldly, "Are you really interested in my name, or... are you worried that hunting someone from a certain family or school will cause big trouble?"
The young man's eyes narrowed: "What do you know?"
"It's just a guess. That poor Ms. Sphenoid should have been killed by you." Lu Yu said, "I had doubts when I came here. After meeting Sphenoid herself, I became even more confused. Such an impolite person, Will the arrogance shown by a wild mage who makes money by accepting commissions as an adventurer really not cause her trouble?"
"I don't care, but those who come here for the knowledge she talks about are always very particular and don't mind being offended. Where does she get the confidence?"
"At the same time, I also heard that there is an endless stream of people coming to see her. Many of these people have their own power, either from certain magical families with inheritance, or they are representatives of schools. How did she do it? Holding such a secret, coveted by many people but still as stable as a mountain?"
"Is a magician who started out as an adventurer and ended up buying a mansion in the rich area of the Earl of Evil Beast so stupid? Even if she didn't realize it before, she should have realized that she had made a stupid move after the first contact. It is better to throw the hot potato out quickly rather than holding it in your hand and attracting more hungry and greedy scavengers."
There was admiration in the young man's gloomy eyes: "You're very smart. Since you had a premonition, why did you enter that room to take risks? The extrapolation afterwards is always wonderful."
"Is it possible? I really care about the knowledge in the sphenoid mouth. Even if I know it may be a trap, I plan to confirm it myself." Lu Yu said, "Of course I have to admit that I have rested in a gentle environment for too long. , my caution was worn away, so that I once again underestimated the despicable degree of the magicians in the magic wave..."
The corners of Lu Yu's lips raised: "Oh no, not magicians, you seem to be puppet masters."
Facing the five pairs of eyes on him, Lu Yu was not afraid: "You should be a neat family, otherwise I really can't think of any other possibility."
"Very smart, but not smart enough." The young man pushed the wheelchair forward gently, and the deceased flew out like a rocket, straight towards Lu Yu.
In a moment, he leapt out from behind Lu Yu, opened the blood jar, condensed the blood sword, and slashed!
Done in one go.
The deceased who had already made a fighting posture on the chair was cut into two parts. Seeing this scene, the young man laughed sarcastically.
Minced meat and blood exploded, and there seemed to be some abnormal life in the blood mist. It made a sharp scream and fell down for a moment.
The blood mist blurred his vision, but the sound of sharp objects penetrating his body was so clear that Lu Yu knew what happened for a moment just by hearing.
"Although the summons are good, when it comes to pets that can swallow magic power, they are still a bit unsatisfactory." The young man commented disdainfully, and whistled at the same time. The monster hidden in the blood mist moved faster and faster, "Pfft" The voices sounded one after another.
"Mr. Summoner who has no summons, you can choose an ending. Are you going to reveal your secret and die gently, or enjoy the torture of the puppet master and live a life worse than death?" As the middle-aged woman waved her hand, she stood upright. The walking giant bear stepped on the red carpet and appeared on the stairs.
In the blood mist, the monster that sucks the magic power of Xuyu has also appeared. Lu Yu recognized it. It is a common mutant of the giant woodland spider. Its body is bright green and resembles a wolf spider. It has the power to destroy demons and can also extend it with its mouth. Its slender mouthpart sucks flesh, flesh and magic.
Under his ferocious attack, Xu had disappeared in an instant.
Lu Yu patted the wheelchair that rolled to his side and shook his head: "Four puppet masters and one beast master. The puppet master has no puppets, so there is nothing to be afraid of. You, the beast master, only have one spider. You guys seem to You’ve got me, why?”
"As a summoner, you have already defeated one of your summons, and only the big fat purple jellyfish is left. Without the summons, the summoner is probably not as good as a puppet master. What's more, you are still fifth level, and your magic power is even weaker than We don’t even have room for error.”
"Oh, really?" Lu Yu's voice became louder, "Then...please deal with this summoned object!"
Mercury was flowing on the ground, and in the blink of an eye, the corridors were covered with crystal clusters. The mutant giant spider with the power to destroy demons was ordered by the young man to kill Lu Yu, but he did not notice that it was already trembling.
Within the sight of the puppet master's family, the corridor changed almost in the blink of an eye. The colorful and charming crystal clusters sealed and assimilated the giant puppet bear into a beautiful work of art.
The mercury rushed forward like a tide, and the narrow corridor made it impossible for the puppet master's family to escape. They desperately threw all kinds of magic in order to slow down the impact of the mercury, but to no avail.
"Spare your life, spare your life, we didn't kill the sphenoid bone. Don't kill us. Don't you want to know who else is involved and what they plan to do? Spare us and I will tell you everything!" The young man shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Stop and let him finish."
Number 2 rose from the mercury. He saluted Lu Yu with his appearance and body outline for a moment, and then got into the mercury again, stopping the wave that was about to drown the puppet master's family.
Looking at the crystal clusters covering both sides of the corridor, the young man shivered. He had never seen such a summoned object.
"Is this the new power obtained by summoning under the magic tide?"
Lu Yu said: "My patience is limited, I will ask you questions and answer them."
The young man had lost his ability to think and nodded frequently.
"Where is the sphenoid now?"
"This mansion has an underground warehouse for storing food. She is there...but her condition may be a little bad." The young man who said this felt guilty.
Lu Yu snorted disdainfully: "I know it's impossible for you to be the only one setting up this game. The purpose of Sphenoid Gu is to trade, and your purpose is to blame the wolf with nothing, and then put all the blame on Sphenoid. Name the rest, and tell me why they are not here."
The young man trembled and said a series of names, including well-known pharmacist organizations, notorious evil puppet masters, and families that Lu Yu was very familiar with and eager to intervene in the summoning.
"Because we all have concerns about each other, we decided to cooperate. Wild mages with no background are the priority. If the owner of the knowledge has some background, call them to come together and put pressure..."
"If it's suitable, the body material will be obtained by us and puppet masters other than us..."
"How many wild mages have you eliminated so far?"
"About five...most of them are liars or people trying their luck. They will not make any big noise against these people. Only you...you are the only one who has shown the strange power of summoning."
Lu Yu nodded with satisfaction, then turned around.
In a moment, she appeared like a ghost again. Her blood sword wiped the young man's neck without any hesitation. Blood spurted out, and his head flew up and hit the crystal cluster. It bounced and fell into a pool of mercury. Her horrified eyes finally settled. .
"Fight!"
The remaining three people ignored the mercury rushing towards them and mobilized their magic power. They made up their minds that even if they died, they would not let Lu Yu have an easy time!
The sound of sword swinging sounded, and heavy objects fell to the ground. As if worried about being defiled by their bodies, No. 2 even shrank Mercury back.
He wiped the blood on his face for a moment: "One is a sixth-level person, two are fifth-level people, and one is a fourth-level person. That's it?"
"Compared to Clarence, it's nothing to mention. I've seen more battles in my reincarnation than you."
