Xiao Zhimiao was awakened from his sleep by a regular sound.
She pushed herself up and looked around the room.
All the candles in the room were extinguished, and even the fire in the fireplace was extinguished. Only the curse mark on the coffee table glowed red, barely providing a little light.
Aman fell asleep lying on the table, and Modu also lay with his back to her, but he was very close to her, and his tail formed a half arc to encircle her.
He was not asleep. When she moved, he turned to look at her.
Seeing that she was awake, she moved her tail away and rolled it to her side.
The room was surprisingly quiet, with no regular sounds that Xiao Zhimiao heard in his sleep. The noisy sounds outside also stopped, as if the entire castle had fallen into a deep sleep.
The temperature in the room was a little low, and a chill went straight into her bones.
She put the blanket around her body and took out a fire starter, trying to light the fire in the fireplace. Mordo's tail twitched her hand lightly and looked back at her.
This is to prevent her from lighting the fire.
Xiao Zhimiao thought for a moment, put away the props, and took out a lighting ball.
Modu's tail twitched her hand again, and the lighting ball fell from her hand.
"keep it."
Modu transformed into a human form and spoke.
Xiao Zhimiao was a little confused, but he still put the ball of light away.
Madu: "Popomag is asleep, so he can't light the fire or light."
Xiao Zhimiao felt the coldness that seemed to be nothing. The experience of hanging around in the dungeon for a long time made her realize that something was wrong, "Will it attract monsters?"
Modu nodded, "As soon as Popomag falls asleep, all the lights in Falling Star City will be extinguished, and the monsters will hide in the darkness and be attracted by the light."
Xiao Zhimiao thought of the scene when they came in. Although they were covered by Bobo Mag's illusion, there were many monsters hiding from the foot of the mountain to the city. Is there any difference between the monsters when Bobo Mag fell asleep?
She expressed this doubt.
"That's different." Modu sat down next to her. "When Popomag fell asleep, the monster stopped listening to her orders."
"If you want to leave, now is a good time. Popomag won't take action. All you have to do is break through the illusion she set up and the countless monsters in the city."
"This is also the only chance for other players to escape after being captured by her. It is also the best time for players outside the city to hunt in Falling Star City. The monsters will be stronger, but they will not encounter Popomag."
Modu's eyes fell on the red-lit curse mark on the coffee table, and Xiao Zhimiao followed his gaze, "It seems that this light is not affected."
"It's your magic that won't attract those monsters."
Modu turned his head to look at him. Under the crimson light, his eyes were also stained with a trace of crimson. "These monsters are all Bobomag's subordinates. Your magic power and aura are similar to hers."
"We have been in the room for so long, and no monster has come in to attack. It's because your crimson magic power has covered our breath."
After Xiao Zhimiao heard this, a trace of surprise flashed through his heart.
Modu said that after Bobomag fell asleep, the monsters would not listen to her orders. As outsiders, they would definitely be targeted by the monsters, but at this time they were safe and sound.
Simply because she has a similar aura to Bobomag, as well as magical power.
It just makes sense to say that the auras are similar. She and Bobomag are both succubi, but when it comes to magic power, she has seen her using magic elements when she was in the hall, so there is no similarity.
She was also keenly aware that the similarity that Modu mentioned was not the same as using the same type. It might come from a certain similar aura on the body. This was the key to the monster not attacking them.
She asked Modu: "My magic power and hers are not similar. How did you see the similarity?"
"I smell it, you guys smell very similar."
Modo can smell various smells, both physical and non-physical, which are actually some kind of perception. He has a strong sense of perception.
"What is the taste?"
Xiao Zhimiao continued to ask.
"The smell of blood." Modu glanced at the dried blood on her hand, "I have never smelled her blood. Your blood is very similar to her scent. What is so similar is blood."
Xiao Zhimiao put her hand on the coffee table, tapping her fingers regularly, her eyes lowered and she was lost in thought.
After a while, she recovered her thoughts and asked Modu: "How long will Popomag sleep?"
Modu: "About five hours. She doesn't sleep every day. She only goes to bed after a meal. She will be stronger every time she wakes up." "
Xiao Zhimiao knew what Popomag's meal meant. She was having a meal just now when she absorbed the players' magic power and souls in the hall.
"How long has she been asleep?"
"It's been two hours now."
Xiao Zhimiao thought for a while and took out the bracelet and pendant suspended in the curse seal.
Dragon scales have been integrated into these two defensive props, and their defensive strength is comparable to that of demi-god-level props.
The most important thing is that it is mixed with dragon scales and her blood curse mark, so it will not be affected by illusions when worn.
She put the bracelet on Aman's wrist, and Aman woke up as soon as she put it on.
Aman still looked a little sleepy. After feeling the cold touch on her hand, she looked at the beautiful crystal defense bracelet on her wrist, her eyes gradually clearing up.
Xiao Zhimiao saw that Aman didn't show panic or confusion about the changes in the surrounding environment. It should be that Modu told her the reason before falling asleep.
She put on the pendant, dispersed the curse seal on the table, and drew another one with crimson magic. After drawing, a small magic circle lit up under them, and the crimson magic spread out from the magic, and in the living room The scope is diffuse.
She turned around and asked Aman: "Do you remember where you were imprisoned?"
Aman nodded, "Remember."
She has always had a good memory.
Xiao Zhimiao took out a piece of straw paper, spread the pen and paper in front of her, "Draw a route based on your memory, with the hall as the center."
Aman picked up the pen, thought for a moment, and started drawing a route map.
After a while, Aman put down his pen and pushed the straw paper in front of Xiao Zhimiao, "It should be correct. When I was locked up and taken to the hall, I didn't see what secret passage mechanism they used. It's not difficult to remember."
Xiao Zhimiao picked up the straw paper and took a look. The route map drawn by Aman was concise and clear, and several characteristic signs were also marked.
Judging from the map, Aman was imprisoned on the second underground floor, and this route was connected to the stairs she took down from the left, near the stairwell on the right side of the hall, and looked closer.
After she memorized the route map, she crushed it with crimson magic power and said to Aman: "I want to go out. Aman, please stay here and don't go out of the range of this magic circle."
After saying that, she stood up and took out a bow and various weapons and equipment from her storage bracelet.
Aman stood up suddenly, "Where are you going? I'll go with you!"
Xiao Zhimiao glanced at her, put a dagger on the back of his waist, and tightened his belt, "You can't follow. Your mission now is to live well, and you don't need to do anything else."
Aman frowned: "You are afraid that I will hold you back.".
"Yes." Xiao Zhimiao replied to her without hesitation.
Seeing that she was about to leave, Aman stretched out his hand to hold her.
Xiao Zhimiao turned around and saw Aman's lips pursed into a straight line, his face full of stubbornness.
She went to break Aman's hand and said, "I'll be back soon."
Aman's grip tightened, "I won't hold you back, don't leave me here alone."
Xiao Zhimiao and Modu looked at each other. Modu turned the short knife in his hand and said, "It is recommended not to bring it. She can't use magic power and will be a useless person when encountering monsters."
Aman retorted, "I'm not a useless person. Besides magic power, I have other abilities. I can fight."
Seeing Aman trying to prove his ability, Xiao Zhimiao thought for a while, then took off the bow and quiver from his back and handed it to her, "The quiver can automatically recycle arrows, both magical arrows and physical arrows. use."
Aman was stunned, Xiao
When Zhi Miao put the two things in her hands, she realized that Xiao Zhi Miao was willing to take her.
"You have to protect yourself first and don't let me distract you." Xiao Zhimiao handed her another dagger.
Aman pursed his lips, suppressed the raised corners of his mouth and the small joy that surged in his heart, and said a cool "hmm".
After the equipment was ready, she asked Xiao Zhimiao: "What are we going to do?"
Xiao Zhimiao: "Go find the players imprisoned by Bobomag."
Aman said in surprise: "Are you going to save them?"
"No, just follow me. Don't ask any more questions." Xiao Zhimiao took out the lighting ball and covered it with crimson magic power. Although it was full of red light, it could still illuminate and would not attract anyone. monster.
"Oh." Seeing that Xiao Zhimiao was willing to take her, Aman stopped asking.
The three of them walked out of the room. The corridor was dark. Xiao Zhimiao glanced around. She could feel that there were countless pairs of eyes looking at them in the darkness. They were all monsters dormant and would pounce on them at any time.
Her crimson magic power covered and surrounded the three of them, confirming what Modu said, with her magic aura around, the monsters would not attack them.
But the light still attracts monsters. The light ball is suspended in front of them. After being covered by a layer of crimson magic, the light is much darker, and the range it can illuminate is very small.
Xiao Zhimiao followed the route map he had memorized and walked to the stairs on the left.
After coming out of the room, the cold feeling became more obvious, constantly wrapping around them, making their hands and feet instantly cold.
The three of them walked down the stairs, darkness following them like a shadow, with some invisible oppression.
Aman held the bow Xiao Zhimiao gave her, her nervous palms sweating.
After going down to the first floor, Xiao Zhimiao stood at the entrance of the stairs that he had never gone down before, moving the light ball to shine around, forcing the ghosts following them back into the darkness.
The surroundings were too quiet, only the sound of each other's breathing could be heard.
The three of them continued down and stopped at the stairwell of the second underground floor. There were corridor exits in front of them and on both sides.
Xiao Zhimiao looked sideways and saw that there were stairs going down below. It seemed that this castle had more than just the second underground floor.
She quickly looked away and followed the route map to the corridor on the right.
There was an unpleasant smell in the air, dampness, rancidity, and fragrance, all mixed together to taste very strange.
On the second underground floor, Xiao Zhimiao could already see the shadows of monsters floating on the edge illuminated by the light ball. Unlike when they were above, these monsters were just hiding in the darkness and not going up.
Now that the monsters have begun to gather around them, Xiao Zhimiao spreads the crimson magic power a little more. During this period, she has been using blood spells. The blood mixed with the crimson magic power is the key to driving away these monsters.
