Although he was mentally prepared, Lu Yu was still shocked when he saw Sphenoid Bone in the barn. If it weren't for the portrait, Lu Yu would really not have recognized 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 wound to have a meal, and even Lu Yu's arrival still failed to disturb them.
The sound of footsteps shook the sphenoid bone, and her eyes covered by hair had lost their expression. She murmured weakly, but the words she uttered were not words of survival.
"Kill me...I know...I've told you everything...No, I didn't lie...You guys, just kill me..."
Lu Yu could not imagine what an experienced adventurer who had gained wealth by accepting commissions begging for death rather than life. It was hard for Lu Yu to 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. 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, and felt 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’ll 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 "Butler" 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 Yan 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 let it draw wonderful patterns.
This purgatory-like scene shocked the four elderly pharmacists. Not knowing what happened, the four quickly retreated and summoned the 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 that was riddled with holes and had a brittle body, as well as the mottled falling sand. The walls are made of 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. The Pegasus' speed 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 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 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. 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. .
Amidst the whistling wind, Sphenoid heard the strenuous whirring of the Pegasus and felt its constant trembling, but it struggled 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. After that, I couldn't successfully restore it..."
"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 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 performed 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 Gluttonous Eater's defeat came out. After all, I have some previous summoning foundation... But I have 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 be revealed sooner or later. come out.
It just so happens that she doesn't understand how she succeeded, which is what keeps her alive and keeps that knowledge from falling into the hands of a bunch of villains.
"How many details can you recall of a successful summons?"
"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 beating with sweat. With some weak wings.
"Land, we won't run."
The pegasus fell into the dense forest and turned to stare 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, grinning from 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. Let your sister Xuyu help you solve the problem."
After walking to Lu Yu's side for a moment, he only 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 Mo was ready 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."
