The reason why this man with the mace on his back is called the "Mace on the Back" is actually because of the name of his technique.
This man was born with supernatural power and used two long maces as weapons. Although he seemed to have no rules, he danced majestically and intimidatingly. As the saying goes: Be cautious but not sharp, good at attacking fiercely, and there is no implicit meaning!
Although this technique seems powerful, it also has drawbacks. Once exhausted, his movements will become sluggish, and he will often be used as a target, and he will suffer a lot.
Later, he met an expert by chance and learned the wonderful technique of pulling threads, and also combined the two. Whenever he was fighting, he would throw his mace out unexpectedly, catching the opponent off guard!
Of course, there are many masters with quick reactions who can barely avoid his unexpected attack, and then take advantage of his weapon loss to make a sneak attack. But he didn't expect that this man's mace could not only be thrown, but could also be retrieved. In a panic, he could only surrender and surrender.
As a result, his "unknown" name gradually spread, and even his real name was almost forgotten by him.
Lu Chun had never felt any sense of restraint in his body. When he saw a silk thread broken from his body, he suddenly felt uncomfortable. He always felt that he was still being pulled by the thread somewhere...
Seeing this, the man with a mace hurriedly explained: "Brother, don't worry, you don't have any marks on your body anymore..."
After hearing this, Lu Chun breathed a sigh of relief and muttered: "I said...I don't have much ability, so what's the point of holding me back?"
"I just think that brother, you can see Ding Haizhu now, and you will definitely achieve extraordinary things in the future! I also thought that one day in the future, you would ask me for advice, so I..." The man with the mace said embarrassedly.
"That's all, because you think so highly of me... Let's forget about it and let's get back to business!" Lu Chun didn't want to explain more on this matter, so he hurriedly changed the subject.
The man with the mace nodded when he heard this, and his expression became solemn again: "Before leaving, I also left marks on several of his entourage. But after we were separated for a while, the marks on these followers It actually disappeared…”
"The string mark I left is extremely hidden and difficult for others to detect. Even if it is discovered, it cannot be easily removed! So I thought there must be something weird in it, so I followed the mark to find it, but when I arrived Mark the end..." At this point, the man with the mace secretly glanced at Wu Ren.
On the way here, the arrogant man had already told Wu Ren about this matter, and it was only through hard talk that he calmed him down, so he was afraid that this topic would affect Wu Ren's emotions again.
Wu Ren, on the other hand, had no expression on his face and said coldly: "I'll go to the front to take a look..." and then walked forward on his own.
Seeing Wu Ren leaving, the man with the mace breathed a sigh of relief and explained in a deep voice: "When I went there, I suddenly smelled a very special stench. It was really disgusting! It's just this kind of smell. The smell was mixed with a hint of blood, which made me feel a little bad, so I suppressed my nausea and got closer..."
"At that time, I really wanted to step forward to see the situation clearly, but there was no obstruction except the red mist! I saw that this smell was really like a bait set to divert attention, and I was worried that someone would take the opportunity to sneak attack, so I stayed there Secretly observing the situation over there from a distance..."
"Although the thick red mist over there made it difficult to see the situation clearly, when I calmed down... I suddenly heard a sound of chewing..." At this point, the man with the mace frowned and his face became ugly.
"Because the suddenness of the chewing sound really made me curious, I couldn't help but quietly leaned over... Then I saw a fat, ugly monster not far away, tearing something in my hand. It was broken into two halves and thrown into the bloody mouth..."
"I saw that the monster didn't notice me, so I sneaked closer. It turned out... what the monster was chewing... was the corpses of Wu Ren's followers..." Recalling what he had just seen, the man with a mace on his back I still feel a little queasy in my stomach, and my face turns pale.
"Ah! What? You said there is a man-eating monster in this cauldron?" Although Lu Chun was equally disgusted when he heard this, he was more worried about being eaten by monsters.
"Is there such a strange thing? Have you seen clearly the origin of this monster?" Lin Zidai also became solemn when he heard this.
"I'm ashamed to say that..." The man with the mace said with a bitter smile: "This is the first time I have seen such a monster, and I have been frightened to death! How dare I look at it carefully? If someone hadn't happened to attract the monster to it, I might have done the same. I became the food of that monster..." The man with the mace on his back was frightened for a while.
"You came to us not just to tell us about this, right?" Lin Zidai chuckled.
"That's right! I just used the thread-pulling technique to feel that you are still safe, so I looked for you right away! I also hope that if we encounter a monster, everyone can take care of each other!" The man with the mace did not mince words, and directly stated his purpose.
"Anyway, thank you for letting me know!" Lin Zidai clasped his fists and said, then turned around: "Brother Lu, it is indeed safer for us to walk together, so before passing the trial, we'd better not separate even half a step!"
"That's natural..." Lu Chun longed for someone to protect him, so he dared not agree.
"By the way, Brother Lu, is that man named Yunlang always with you?" Lin Zidai asked casually.
"Yeah...what's wrong?" Lu Chun asked confused.
"Haha, I'm just asking..." Lin Zidai nodded thoughtfully, "It's too unsafe here, I just think we shouldn't leave him..."
"Oh, that's right..." Although Lu Chun always felt that Yunlang often gave people a hypocritical feeling, he didn't have much objection. He just nodded casually, and then suddenly asked: "Hey, that sissy... Ahem, what about Wu Ren?"
The man with the mace also reacted, but when he looked around, there was no sign of Wu Ren.
At this moment, a scream suddenly came from the distance.
"Wu Ren! Oh no!"
The three of them were startled, and there was wind at their feet, and they hurriedly ran in the direction of the scream.
After all, Lu Chun was just an ordinary person, so naturally he was no better than Lin Zidai and Sa Shou, and the distance between them was also widened visibly to the naked eye. Fortunately, the two people in front stopped before running far, and Lu Chun followed a few steps and finally caught up.
"Wu Ren! What's wrong with you?" Several people followed the voice and chased after him, only to see Wu Ren sitting on the ground with a pale face, his eyes full of shock.
Wu Ren didn't make any sound, he just pointed forward tremblingly.
The three of them followed Wu Ren's direction and discovered that there were several mummies lying on the ground not far away. They looked like they had been dead for some years.
The man with the mace quickly glanced around and then breathed a sigh of relief: "These people look like they have been dead for a long time. I think they may be the victims of the last trial. If it was the monster who did it, let's not talk about it for now. Will there be any corpses left behind? It’s completely impossible not to have even the slightest bit of blood, right?”
Lu Chun also stepped forward when he heard the words, and nodded when he heard the arrogant man's words. But when he laid his eyes on one of them, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Hey...why does this guy look familiar?"
When Lin Zidai saw that the man with the mace had helped Wu Ren up, he took a step forward and came to Lu Chun's side and looked down. Then he looked at Lu Chun with a hint of approval.
In order to treat the old man's illness, Lu Chun had studied a lot of medical skills. Naturally, he had also been exposed to observing bone physiognomy. He knew that a person's appearance would change after death, but bone physiology was difficult to change. And this Lin Zidai was already proficient in medicine, so he naturally understood what Lu Chun meant by familiarity.
"Looks familiar?" The man with the mace was startled when he heard this, and took a closer look. However, he felt that all the mummies in the ground had the same appearance.
Lin Zidai turned to look at Wu Ren, pointed at one of the mummies and asked, "Is it because of him?"
Wu Ren was still speechless in horror, and just nodded repeatedly. Although he didn't know how to judge the bones, he had fought with the sword wielder after all, and it was impossible for him not to recognize the injuries caused to him.
"I said...what riddles are you trying to solve?" The man with the mace scratched his head, confused.
Lin Zidai pointed to the mummy on the ground and said calmly: "You have seen this one too... He is the man who wielded the knife before."
"Oh..." The man with the mace responded, and then goosebumps all over his body suddenly fell to the ground. Although the environment in this cauldron was like a scorching summer, he felt a chill coming down to his bones.
At first, he thought Wu Ren was so frightened because he suspected that he had encountered a monster, so he explained his comfort. But I didn't expect that the truth of the matter would be like this, and I was a bit stunned.
"You mean he deceived... deceived... defrauded the corpse?" The man with the mace on his back was quite courageous, but he was still a little creepy when he encountered unbelievable things one after another.
"I'm just kidding. How can there be such a thing as corpse fraud in the world..." Lin Zidai stood up from the ground and said calmly: "I have already checked. These people died not long ago. They must have suffered the same accident..."
"What? You said they just died not long ago? How is this possible?" The man with the mace still couldn't believe it, and his brows almost knitted together.
"I couldn't believe it at first, but that's the truth..." Lin Zidai shrugged helplessly and continued: "I don't know who is so vicious that he drained all their blood... In order to win the trial, everyone also It’s really unscrupulous…”
"Brother Lin, what should we do now?" Lu Chun considered and compared the two ways to die in his mind, but felt that neither one was suitable for him. He hurriedly dismissed this unfavorable thought and asked.
"We are in the dark, and the perpetrators are in the light. If we continue, the number of people will only become smaller and smaller, and our danger will become greater and greater... Why don't we wait near the mask first, and wait until the number of people is reduced to twenty-four , maybe there will be a way to break the light shield, and then as long as we get the Dinghai Pearl, we will leave here safe and sound!"
"What if the method doesn't appear..."
"Then we have to leave it to fate..."
