Chapter 223 222 The Forest Was as Silent as Death

Chapter 223 222. The forest was as silent as death

Lulu did not make a move. She observed the monster's actions and ordered Sigrid: "Hit her chest hard."

Lu Yu, a master of life-saving magic, provided Sigrid with a very reliable elemental shield through the existing earth element summon.

Sigrid, who was well-defended, was not in a hurry. She slapped the monster's hand away with a slap, and then punched the monster's chest.

Fearing that the monster had not lost its fighting ability, Sigrid grabbed the monster's hand at the same time when the monster lost its center of gravity, turned his body back to herself, hit the spine hard, and kicked it out.

The monster flew backwards and rolled on the ground for several circles until it hit a thick tree and stopped.

The force was heavy and the attack was still close to the heart. A normal person would have gone to see the ancestors without any defense, but it was obvious that this monster could not be classified as normal. As for whether it was a human, Lu Yu also felt that it was debatable.

The monster stood up again with a swaying body, and fell backwards before it could move forward.

Sigrid gritted her teeth and said, "Your spine is broken, and you still want to move?"

Just when Lu Yu thought everything was over, the monster actually used the back of its head to move a little bit, and raised its chest.

Because it lost its spine as support, the monster could no longer use its lower body, but she actually relied on her hands and head to straighten her body again, and then quickly crawled towards Sigrid with both hands.

"Break his neck and leave his body intact. I want to see what it is."

Sigrid pulled out the dagger at her waist, stepped forward, and before the monster could pounce on her double push, she raised her knife and cut off its two hands.

Blood gushed out continuously, and soon, on the ground covered with white frost by the moonlight, a deep red "snake" was winding forward.

Sigrid grabbed the monster's neck with both hands. After a series of clicks, the monster with a human body and face fell to the ground like a piece of rotten meat, completely losing the ability to move.

Lu Yu lifted Sigrid's hand and found a finger-sized flesh hole below the nail of the right index finger. A little white could be vaguely seen in the red.

The fog monster found a healing potion in the big bowl. As soon as it fell, Sigrid, who had thick skin and flesh, was sweating in pain. The monster's teeth left scratches on her finger bones. At this time, the potion made her whole arm tremble.

Sigrid still wanted to save face. She didn't even scream when she died, but clenched her teeth and endured the pain that seeped out of the bone gap.

Everyone's impression of the dragon sub-humans has always been that they have strong vitality, thick skin and flesh and are not afraid of pain, but after all, they are also human beings.

Seeing that Sigrid was having a hard time holding back, Lu Yu persuaded her to just shout it out and vent it out. As a result, after hearing this, Sigrid's eyes became more resolute, and she even suppressed the "grunt" sound that was bubbling in her throat before.

The healing potion worked well. Soon, Sigrid's wound stopped bleeding, and there were granulations on the lost flesh and blood that were slowly wriggling.

Lulu, who was checking the monster's body, turned her head and took a look, apologizing: "Sure enough, the potion in this area is still a little bit less effective, and it can't completely heal you. Wait until we find Sera and let her help you treat you. Her healing magic is very powerful and will restore you to your original state."

"What monster is it? Can you confirm it?"

Lu Yu watched Lulu cut the monster's skin with low-level wind blade magic, and then watched her pick up Sigrid's two severed hands and examine them. He felt a very strange feeling in his heart, but he couldn't say it out loud.

Maybe this is Lulu. When she concentrates on doing something, she will have a particularly charming temperament, even if you know that she is tinkering with a fresh monster corpse.

"The monster species can be confirmed."

"Oh, what is it?" Sigrid was more anxious than Lu Yu, and gritted her teeth when she spoke.

"Human."

The wind blowing through the mountains and forests hit Lu Yu, and it was extremely cool. The coolness penetrated into his heart little by little, penetrated his body, and finally crawled on his back.

The chill suddenly rushed to his forehead, and Lu Yu's mouth trembled: "You mean, human?"

"It's human, that's right." Lulu deliberately changed to a language that only the two of them knew.

"Is there anyone in this world who can move so quickly after having his spine broken?"

"I don't think so, so this is strange." Lulu said, "This person has no magic power in his body, but when Sigrid broke his neck, a strange magic fluctuation occurred. There was no sign, and I couldn't trace the source."

"Could it be a puppet?" Lu Yu remembered the magic-breaking puppet he saw in Yas, a monster that could still chase them even with its head cut off.

Lulu said, "I support your guess because I thought so just now, but I taught you the basic theory of magic. I talked about the production and use of puppets. Come on, let the teacher test you. What does it take to make a puppet work?"

Lu Yu felt like a student who hadn't read a book for a long time and was suddenly called by the teacher to answer questions. It was as if he had returned to the memories of his school days, and his natural awe of the teacher made him sweat all over his forehead. Fortunately, his brain was still powerful in the end. Under Lulu's burning eyes, he retrieved the answer under pressure.

"I remember correctly, it should be a magic circle that can make the puppet operate according to a certain behavior pattern, and a sufficient source of magic power."

"It's okay, assuming you were listening carefully before."

"What do you mean..." Lu Yu murmured.

Lulu continued: "People can be made into puppets. Before summoners were despised and despised, there was a time when the reputation of puppet masters was not very good."

The more capable people are, the greater the harm they will do if they do evil. Some puppet masters use the strong to bully the weak. The collection of puppets to satisfy their desires is a typical example.

"Killing people and turning their bodies into their own collections is an act that many puppet masters still do today. They view people more like collections because they generally believe that becoming puppets can bring ' Beauty is preserved forever and will not fade over time.”

"Unlike a declining school like Summoning, which has never been able to form a 'faith' jointly raised by the power of the school from beginning to end, some puppet masters compare the production of humanoid dolls with the preserved 'beauty' Hook, forming the so-called 'Eternal Beauty' sect."

"They not only believe that dolls are the best way to make 'beauty' eternal, but they are also the key to eternal life." Lulu said, "The decay of the body will eventually come, so as long as they find a way to enter a new body before the body dies, , you can usher in new life and achieve eternal life.”

"Although you are teaching me new knowledge and letting me know another side of the puppet master, your topic seems a bit far away." Lu Yu quickly stopped talking about magic and academics and couldn't help but keep diverging. Lulu, "Let's get down to business, so the person in front of us is a person who was made into a doll, right?"

"I have no idea."

Lu Yu slapped his forehead, feeling a little weak.

Co-author: You've been telling yourself about the puppet master's sect and creed for a long time, and now you just say "I don't know" to yourself?

"You don't have to look at me like this. Didn't I ask you just now? The two major elements of the puppet's operation are the magic circle and the magic source. However, there is neither a magic circle nor a magic source on this corpse. , can’t be considered a doll at all.”

"Unless the puppeteers find a new way to move the puppet, I can't see how a puppet can move without these two things."

The fog demon floating in the air suddenly noticed a shadow flashing in the distance.

The wind in the mountain forest suddenly became very strong, and the dust blown up made it difficult for Lu Yu to open his eyes.

By the time the fog demon told everyone what he saw, taking advantage of the sudden wind and sand, these shadows had already touched the surrounding area.

Similar to the "people" lying on the ground, these humans who appeared at this time could not see the whites of their eyes, and their teeth were as sharp as knives. Regardless of their gender, they were all naked. Their faces are all different, their skin colors are also different, and there is no useful information found on their bodies.

"Only a human appearance, no human soul... I don't know what happened to you, but... I'm sorry!"

"You guys stay away from me!"

Lulu clapped her hands, and the lights under her feet began to flicker.

The monsters seemed to sense the danger. Instead of targeting Sigrid, they rushed towards Lulu.

Several figures rose into the air and thrust their sharp claws towards Lulu. Because they were so fast, Lu Yu only saw a series of afterimages.

"Burn it, burn it!"

Lulu's voice suddenly became louder, and she raised her hands in the air.

There were no lengthy incantations or tedious chants. Invisible power condensed around Lulu's body. The moment those delicate little hands were raised, scorching fire seemed to burst out of Lulu's body. The hot air waves hit every monster that rushed toward her.

The monster's flesh and blood instantly turned into charcoal. Without giving up, they continued to stretch their hands towards Lulu with difficulty. However, Lulu was already as dazzling as the sun at this moment, and the hands that tried to get closer to Lulu failed to make any further progress. It turned into fly ash in the hot wind.

The flames ignited the mountain forest, and the raging fire was spreading in all directions in the dark night.

This was the first time Lu Yu saw Lulu using high-level magic. He had had many imaginations about high-level magic before, and as his knowledge expanded, the details became more abundant.

However, after seeing Lulu released, he was still shocked.

He still couldn't feel the traces of Lulu's mobilization of magic power, nor could he see the traces of the magic power gathering and forming, being guided by Lulu into high-level magic.

Sera said that low-level magicians can only rely on numbers to defeat high-level magicians, because their understanding of magic is completely different from that of high-level magicians. The angles in which they see magic and the way they use magic are not on the same level. .

Now Lu Yu believed it.

The reason why low-level victory over high-level is called a miracle is because it happens so rarely.

Even if rank cannot represent actual combat strength, the gap between them is extremely huge.

Sigrid and the mist demon were putting out the fire. As soon as Lulu burned like this, the mountain fire had already formed.

"What are you trying to save? Just watch." Lulu stopped everyone who was busy, "Don't you think this mountain forest is strange? Sigrid made a sound when she was fighting. The aura and movement of my high-level magic were very... Big, but the monsters and beasts here seem not to be able to feel it. Not only are there no movements of escaping from the nest, but you can't see the birds perched high in the forest taking off hastily. "

"It's too quiet."

The mountains and forests were as silent as death.

Lu Yu quickly looked at the fog demon.

The Mist Demon can not only create illusions, but also perceive illusions. This is her innate talent.

The fog demon shook his head repeatedly: "No, there is absolutely no illusion, everything here is real."

Lulu, who had already become suspicious of this forest, motioned everyone to follow. She waved at the mountain fire in front of her, and the flames all made way for Lulu to pass.

It was like a subject seeing his king.

Walking between the two walls of fire, Lulu said: "Wait for the fire to burn for a while. We have been causing a lot of noise with our destruction. Maybe we can encounter something more interesting."

"If it burns for a while, we may not be able to stop it..."

"Then don't stop it, just let it burn."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Yu saw a jaw-dropping scene through the firelight.

The flames spread to the vicinity of a cave unknowingly. Looking at the claw marks near the cave, it can be judged that there are monsters or beasts living inside.

The brave fog demon went in and took a look, indicating that there was a black bear sleeping soundly inside.

"Are you sure it's sleeping soundly?" Lu Yu couldn't believe it.

The fog demon nodded repeatedly: "The snoring was like thunder. I poked him, but he didn't react at all."

Lulu heard this and flicked a flame into the cave without saying a word. Under the fog demon's gaze, the flame ignited the black bear's fur, and black smoke filled the entire cave.

Unless the black bear is dead, it should wake up at this time no matter how deep its sleep is. After all, wild animals are very sensitive to danger.

After waiting for a while, a large piece of the black bear's fur was burnt, and the flames were about to spread to the black bear's face. He still maintained the sleeping posture just now, motionless.

Lulu threw a water ball into the cave to put out the fire on the black bear, and continued to move forward without looking back.

Under Lulu's protection, Lu Yu and his party walked out of the sea of ​​fire safely, but everything that happened along the way made their scalps numb.

Just as Lulu said, in such a large forest, after the wildfire spread, not a single creature escaped. In the caves they found, there were beasts or monsters sleeping, but no matter whether they were knocked, set on fire, or cut their skin with a knife, these beasts did not react.

Lulu's mouth corners raised: "Interesting, I didn't expect to encounter such a thing."

"Do you know the reason?" Lu Yu asked hurriedly.

"I guessed a little, but I can't confirm it yet." Lulu said, "I don't know what Sera encountered after coming in, and whether she found these weird things."
