"Gulu gulu gulu..."
Strange sounds came from the water mass, and the two people hurriedly retreated.
"Boo...boo boom boom boom!"
Then, a watery tentacle suddenly stretched out from the water mass in front of him, followed by several tentacles twisting and extending outward!
"Old Liu!"
"Hush, wait and see what happens."
Chen Yao felt a little nervous, but fortunately, the target of the water tentacles was not the two of them, but the winding and twisted outline of something around...
"It's carving...a magic circle?!"
"Yes, according to my experience, this thing is not offensive at the moment. Let's take another look. Don't worry. Old man, I have been walking for so many years, and I am not just relying on first-hand identification."
Liu Xinglong's confident and mysterious tone immediately made Chen Yao feel at ease.
With the outline of the water tentacles, the water mass quickly dried up and dissipated, and the formation of the magic circle was completed.
The complex and twisted water lines squirm like blood vessels, and the entire array is also emitting a stable and weak blue light.
"It should be finished, go over and take a look."
Liu Xinglong took a few steps forward, squatted down and began to study. Chen Yao did not move immediately. He looked around and finally locked his eyes on the side of the bookcase.
"here..."
"Little friend Chenyao?"
"Oh, here it comes."
Chen Yao walked closer, rubbed his chin, and began to observe carefully.
The array in front of you is composed of two rings, the inner and outer rings. Most of the outer ring is filled with rows of wavy lines and whirlpools, with some distorted patterns of fish and octopuses interspersed in between. The inner ring in the center is carved with A giant strange symbol.
"A huge water drop pattern with so many tentacles extending from it. Old Liu, have you seen it?"
"Forgive me for my limited knowledge, but I have never heard of this pattern and magic circle in my decades of life..."
"Clatter, crash, crash!"
While the two were talking, a watery tentacle stretched out from the magic circle, rolled up a book and placed it on the outer circle of the magic circle, then placed the second and third books next to the first...
It wasn't until the sixth book was placed and opened by several water tentacles that the array returned to calm.
He had seen too many strange sights today, and he felt a little accustomed to them now.
"Is this a kind of guidance? But... why is there a vacancy here?"
Chen Yao discovered that there was a vacancy in the fourth and fifth books on the outer circle of the magic circle.
"Haha, I probably understand, it is guiding us to recite the ritual language."
Old Liu read every book along the edge of the magic circle.
"Look, if you take out the first syllable on the page of each book and combine them in order, the result is athgai."
"First of all, athg means response and agreement in the ancient Kru language, and ai plus the gap between the fourth and fifth books, then fill in the ancient Kru syllable symbol ', and it becomes 'ai, 'ai means summoning in ancient Kru language. So the result is obvious..."
"Agree to the summons? I said Lao Liu, if something comes out of this magic circle, we..."
"We have no choice. If we interrupt the ceremony now, the result will be unknown. What do you think?"
"I understand, let's get started."
"You step back further and stand over the bookshelf."
"good."
"athg'ai."
Liu Xinglong faced the magic circle and read out the ritual words.
In an instant, the originally calm light of the magic circle began to flicker, and a strange sense of dampness and a fishy salty smell spread throughout the room...
This abnormal change made Chen Yao a little uneasy. He stared at the magic circle on the ground and did not dare to move away.
As the light kept flashing, the pattern on the inner circle of the magic circle changed...
Chen Yao saw it clearly. First, a small black dot appeared out of thin air in the center, and then gradually expanded until it was the size of an adult's head, and then the expansion stopped.
"what is that?"
"Perhaps it leads somewhere, or it is a passage for some beings to come. But this size..."
The black area almost covers the entire inner ring of the magic circle. If observed with the naked eye, almost nothing can be seen.
Chen Yao quietly opened his Secret Eyes and focused his sight on the magic circle, trying to see if he could see any useful information...
--------------------------
? ? ? Magical Circle: Recognition 0% (no relevant knowledge)
The information is incomplete and cannot be identified.
--------------------------
Sure enough... then look at that black area, what is it...
Chen Yao moved his gaze to the center of the magic circle, but he was suddenly stunned, and then quickly backed away, hitting the bookshelf behind him.
"Bang!"
"Little friend Chenyao, what's wrong?"
"I saw many... tentacles extending out of that black area, translucent, black, densely packed tentacles."
Yes, countless black translucent tentacles did appear in Chen Yao's sight at this moment, but these tentacles were invisible to the naked eye.
The most terrifying thing is that these tentacles are twisting and reaching towards Chen Yao quickly! He wanted to escape, but it was too late...
"What a fool! Why did you attack me? Isn't Old Man Liu closer? Damn it!"
"Little friend Chenyao, you..."
Before Liu Xinglong could finish speaking, several translucent tentacles had already wrapped tightly around Chen Yao's neck and legs.
"Ah! Lao...Liu...has some...transparent...tentacles...caught me..."
The tentacles wrapped around Chen Yao's neck gradually tightened, and a sense of suffocation came. Chen Yao began to feel fear, and his body even began to tremble a little. He tried to grab the tentacles between his neck with his palms, but his palms went straight through past.
"Translucent, invisible to the naked eye. Oops! These tentacles are probably spirits!"
Liu Xinglong seemed a little anxious when he spoke.
"what to do..."
Chen Yao's body began to lean forward uncontrollably. The purpose of these things seemed not to kill him, but... to pull him into the black area the size of an adult's head...
Hey, you can’t get in here! You can't get in no matter how hard you think about it? If this continues, you will definitely die!
"All spirits are immune to physical attacks. Their essence is a soul body and an energy body, so they can only carry out effective attacks through magic or other special methods. It seems that this is the only way."
After Liu Xinglong thought quickly, he took out a yellow talisman paper from his arms.
"This is a fire summoning talisman. After using this talisman, you can summon elemental flames to attack the target. Well, I will charge you ten gold coins for this thing..."
"Uh...wait! You...old...thing..."
Chen Yao's face was red at the moment, whether it was due to lack of oxygen or anxiety...
As soon as he heard Liu Xinglong's lion opening his mouth and resisting the pull of the tentacles, his brain was also thinking rapidly.
Spirit... energy... energy? Then this might work.
Stretching his arms, his palms shook, and Chen Yao's palms were immediately covered with a red-orange brilliance.
"drink!"
Chen Yao used all his strength and slammed his two palms together toward the tentacles on his chin!
Surprisingly, at this moment, Chen Yao's palm could actually touch the tentacles wrapped around him. The slippery and wet feel was so disgusting...
"Crack! Crunch!!"
The moment the brilliance between the palms touched the tentacles, a sharp sound came, and a strange burnt aroma spread in the room...
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk!"
The tentacles between his neck felt pain and then let go. Chen Yao quickly grabbed them with one hand and suddenly lifted them up and swung them down hard!
Chen Yao's action actually caused the red-orange brilliance in his palm to climb onto the tentacle in his hand and spread towards the black area where the tentacle originated!
"Zizzizi! Swish, swish, swish~"
The tentacles burned by the flame energy quickly retreated into the black area. Chen Yao wanted to stop it, but this thing was really slippery...
"Ah...ah...uh, I almost died..."
Chen Yao extinguished the flame in his palm, closed his secret eye, and then collapsed on the ground.
Liu Xinglong didn't react to these sharp movements. When he came to his senses, he took back the fire-calling talisman with some annoyance.
"Little friend Chenyao, what you just used was your wild skill?"
"Yes."
"I'm sorry to be curious, but how did you see these tentacles in the first place?"
"Hey, secret."
"You kid..."
"Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo [ooh… buzzing buzzing!”
While Liu Xinglong muttered dissatisfiedly, a strange sound came from the magic circle that had just been quiet for a while!
"No, you're still here?!"
I saw the light of the magic circle on the ground began to flicker, faster and faster, and more and more irregularly. Along with a weird buzzing sound, the whole room began to shake violently!
"Suffer it!"
"Boom! Crack, crash, crash!!!"
Before the two of them could react, a water column suddenly spurted out from the black area. The impact of the water column was so strong that even a big hole was punched out of the wooden ceiling of the room!
But fortunately, the water column only lasted for a few seconds before stopping, and the water in the room quickly receded.
"Bah, bah, bah! Why is it so salty! Hiss...why is there something moving in my pants?"
Chen Yao took out his crotch and took it out. It turned out to be a small fish? ! At this time, some small banging sounds came...
Chen Yao looked up and saw that the floor of the room was sparsely covered with all kinds of fish!
"Oh, this, this, this, this... has made me wet, and it will cost me a fortune to repair it, ugh!"
"Oh? There are fish? This one is a lantern fish... Oh? There is also a good-looking grouper!"
"Old Liu, do you recognize these fish?"
Chen Yao put Xiao Yu aside, stood up and twisted his clothes.
"Yes, most of these fish come from shallow sea areas, but they are not very common near Shenmu Town. After all, it is hundreds of kilometers away from the nearest sea area."
"Hiss... So, this thing is in trouble with the ocean!"
Liu Xinglong quickly and carefully checked the paper in his hand. Fortunately, there was nothing wrong with it.
"Okay, okay, this paper is made of leather and has a deep connection with the ocean, so it shouldn't be damaged so easily. Here it is, put it away."
"oh."
Chen Yao took the paper and took back the ring after just one glance.
"It should be over. Let's go see the French Square."
The two walked to the magic circle. At this time, the magic circle no longer shimmered, and the pattern in the central area and the previous black area also disappeared.
"Boo~"
Before the two of them could take a closer look, the magic circle on the ground made a soft sound and turned into a pool of water and scattered away.
"Alas! I really underestimated this time, but fortunately it's nothing serious."
Liu Xinglong shook off the water stains on his sleeves and simply tidied up the books on the ground.
"Well...that's the end of the identification, right? Then these fish..."
"Well, little friend Chenyao, you think you might as well give me this grouper. To be honest, I am very proud of this, old man."
"Easy to say, easy to say!"
After the two of them changed their clothes, Liu Xinglong found a bamboo basket and asked Chen Yao to pick up the fish. Today's matter finally came to an end.
"Old Liu, I'll leave first."
Chen Yao picked up the bamboo basket and ran away.
"Hey, wait a minute! You haven't paid for the repairs yet!"
"What's the repair cost? You're not short of it! I'll give you this fish to pay for it!"
By the time Lao Liu chased him out of the store, Chen Yao had already disappeared.
"This boy!"
Just as Liu Xinglong was about to turn around, a figure hurried towards him from far away.
"Old Liu Tou!"
"Oh, it's Captain Siwen, what's the matter?"
"I heard from the townspeople that there was a lot of commotion in your store? Is it okay?"
"Oh, it's okay. It's been taken care of. I need you to run around."
"As long as it's okay, I'll go back to patrol."
"Walk slowly."
................................................................. ...
"You've been discovered."
After cleaning up briefly, Liu Xinglong said calmly to the shadow beside the bookshelf in the corner.
"Know."
In the shadows, a figure wearing a bamboo hat and a sword scabbard gradually emerged, but strangely, there was no water stain on his body. I don't know what method was used.
"I didn't expect... Ye Mo's concealment skills with the dignified Hidden Shadow Sword would be discovered by a young boy. If this spreads out, your name will be at risk!"
"Noisy!"
"Ye Mo, recognize your identity. You are just a guard I hired now."
"snort!"
