"Mr. Eff's fortune has changed......
"With his performance in the face of the robbers last night, it is impossible to keep his secret in front of an official extraordinary person pretending to be a policeman......
"Did they notice the abnormality and made targeted preparations in advance?"
The more Lumian thought about it, the more he suspected that his "robbery" of Mr. Eve last night made him and those behind him wary.
But he couldn't confirm that the landlord was really abnormal without trying.
Considering that the man in the old pigeon cage theater might be staring at this side, Lumian gave up the idea of "visiting" Mr. Eve and left the market avenue all the way.
He felt that he had to complete the "Art of Prophecy" as soon as possible to get answers to some questions.
…………
Observatory area, near the catacombs, next to the bonfire.
Lumian saw Aosta in a slightly strange posture. Trul:
"How is it, have you collected the materials I need?"
Aosta smiled sincerely:
"It's all found, the lynx's internal organs, the hyena's tongue, the stag's bone marrow and the gray sage, a total of 5 felkins, plus the reward you promised, which is 20 felkins."
According to the agreement, Lumian should give him an additional 5 Felkin for each material, but he thought that these materials were only worth 5 Felkin together, so he was really embarrassed to collect it and discounted it himself.
Lumian didn't mind, after all, it saved him a lot of time.
Of course, he would not force more and gave him a few bills totaling 20 Felkin according to Aosta's offer.
The four materials were either stored in cheap glassware or directly packed in small wooden boxes and cloth bags, and Lumian checked them one by one and put them in his pocket.
He raised his head and looked at Aosta again. Trul:
"Is there more information about the water monster?"
Aosta nodded:
"Yes."
He immediately showed an expression of invitation for credit:
"In order to help you get more information about the water monster, I also went to the underground river myself, who knows, the ground over there is slippery and difficult to walk, causing me to fall."
As he spoke, he pulled up his left sleeve, and there were obvious rubbing blood stains on his forearm.
No wonder I just felt that your posture was not normal...... If I don't commission Aosta to collect news about the water monster, won't he be injured? But I made the commission after seeing that he would have a little bloodshed recently, what would happen if I gave up at that time? Lumian inexplicably felt a sense of fate.
Moreover, he himself is also in fate, and the fortune he senses includes his own will and actions.
Gathering his thoughts, Lumian chuckled:
"I reminded you to be careful."
"Uh......" Aosta was stunned for a moment.
Only then did he remember that Ciel had asked him to be careful in the past two days.
Fulfilled so soon? His divination ability is too strong, right? Aosta was shocked and asked:
"You predicted that I would be injured in the next two days?"
What sequence exactly is Ciel?
Not only does he seem to be very good at fighting, but he is also good at divination!
Lumian smiled:
"It's not divination."
As for the real reason, he kept silent and let the other party guess.
Aosta didn't dare to ask more, and instead talked about the monster:
"I sorted out those rumors and found that there are three types of water monsters that haunt the underground river:
"The first is like a drowning person, with a swollen body and pale skin, the second is a fish that seems to be mutated, not only close to human height, but also covered with scales and not afraid of injury, and the third is black hair floating on the water, which will suddenly stretch out, wrap around the person on the shore, and drag him into the water.
"These water monsters are not too strong, and attacks against humans often fail, which is why there are so many rumors leaking.
"They don't often meet, two or three times a month, not once a month, I went to investigate for a while yesterday evening, and found nothing except throwing myself."
"With your combat ability, if you really encounter it, you probably won't be able to come back." Lumian sneered.
Ostacia smiled and did not answer.
That is, those water monsters in the rumors are not very powerful, so he dared to go after divination.
What Lumian was puzzled about now was that with the performance of those water monsters, whether it was the two major churches or the eighth game, just sending a team of extraordinary people over could easily complete the elimination, so why did they still allow them to be active?
If it is said that the underground river hides greater danger, those who encounter water monsters should not be able to escape.
In the midst of his thoughts, Lumian put Aosta. The materials given by Trul were taken out and hidden in the crevices of two nearby stones.
He was worried that if he encountered a water monster in the future and a fierce battle broke out, the fragile items on his body would be damaged.
Then, Lumian took out another 5 Felkin bill and handed it to Aosta:
"Reward for news related to water monsters."
He immediately picked up the calcium carbide lamp and followed Aosta's description and the nameplate in the tunnel and walked towards the underground river.
Aosta hesitated for a few seconds, then suddenly stood up, carried his calcium carbide lamp, and chased after Lumian.
Hearing the footsteps, Lumian turned sideways, looked back at him, and expressed his doubts with his eyes.
Aosta said with a smile:
"I'll go with you, maybe I can help you a little."
"You?" Lumian didn't hide his contemptuous suspicion at all.
Aosta cleared his throat and told the truth:
"Water monsters are also spiritual creatures, and it is impossible for you to move them all, I, I want to take the ones you don't want."
If you really meet someone who needs it, you might be able to sell it for more than a dozen Felkins!
Lumian stared at Aosta, and waited until the other party was a little uneasy before saying with a smile:
"You can follow me, but I won't offer any protection."
He sensed that Aosta's current fortune was no longer bloody, and he even had a little more fortune.
In other words, if Aosta followed him to the underground river, it meant that this hunting operation was likely not dangerous and rewarding.
Of course, Lumian couldn't guarantee that his choice would not bring about a change in fortune.
"No problem." Aosta was not nervous.
In his opinion, he was just following Ciel from a distance, and if he really encountered a water monster, he would hide further, and it was almost impossible for his life to be in danger.
Because Aosta was sure to go, Lumian stared at him for a few more seconds.
Seeing that his fortune had not changed, he retracted his gaze, carried the calcium carbide lamp, and continued to move forward.
Having such a person with you is also a good thing in a sense.
Sometimes, fishing requires bait, and sometimes, when encountering powerful monsters, you don't need to run faster than the monsters, just be a little faster than your so-called companions!
The two of them went one after another, each lighting with calcium carbide lamps, going deep into this underground world.
After more than ten minutes, the air in the tunnel became very humid, and Lumian also vaguely heard the sound of flowing water.
He raised the calcium carbide lamp, glanced at the nameplate on the side of the road, and turned into the right side of the road hidden in the depths of darkness.
Not long after, water light appeared in front of him, dyed with the brilliance of calcium carbide lamps.
Lumian slowed down and moved closer to the underground river little by little.
It is five or six meters wide, with naturally formed stone wall domes and hanging stalactites at the height, and the water is quite clear, flowing between the ravines.
Except for a little moss, Lumian saw no life at a glance.
Aosta had stopped, watching the dangerous extraordinary man search the shore inch by inch.
The two stopped and walked, always maintaining a distance of more than ten meters.
A quarter of an hour passed, and Lumian found nothing.
Half an hour later, it is still the same.
Just as the road ahead became narrow, Lumian saw some marks sharply.
Near the river, several stones were scattered, and the sides were covered with a little dirt.
Has anyone struggled here? Lumi moved with peace of mind and leaned closer cautiously.
He squatted down, put the calcium carbide lamp aside, and carefully observed the environment here.
Not long after, he found two footprints and found some traces of being dragged.
But where the traces pointed, the water was clear, the bottom of the river could be seen, and there was nothing dangerous lurking.
Tick, a little liquid fell on the back of Lumian's neck.
Cold and sticky.
Lumian instantly had a strong intuition of danger, and suddenly looked up and looked up.
Between the hanging stalactites, there was a figure that shimmered with gray-white light.
It has a python-like head and a slippery body covered in fish scales, with two arms and a human-like leg extending from what should have been fins.
At this time, the monster was opening its mouth wide, revealing a circle of interlaced and sharp white teeth, and a slightly viscous, fishy liquid slipped out of the corner of its mouth.
In the next instant, the monster fell from the sky and pounced on Lumian.
Lumian, who was squatting on the ground, fell directly backwards.
At the same time, he pushed his waist and abdomen like a spring, causing his right leg to pull up like a whip.
With a crisp sound, Lumian, who was about to lie on the ground, kicked the monster that could not be avoided in mid-air, kicked it backwards, and flew to the stone wall on the other side of the tunnel.
Bang!
The monster crashed straight into the wall.
Lumian suddenly turned over and stood up, pounced on the target like a cheetah.
The monster had just slipped off the wall, and Lumian's figure was reflected in his brown and cold eyes.
Lumian stretched out his hands and grabbed its arms.
The monster did not dodge, but directly opened his palm and greeted it.
Each finger of it has sharp scales growing out, shimmering with a dark blue color.
Suddenly, Lumian flicked his elbow and flipped his wrist, and his palms had already grabbed the water monster's wrist, preventing the dark blue scales from stabbing him.
Immediately afterwards, he stretched out his right foot and tripped over the monster's one leg.
Because it only had one leg, the water monster could not resist, so it could only take advantage of the fact that Lumian grabbed his wrist, jumped up, and tried to swallow the entire head of the prey with one leg backwards and a huge mouth in front.
At this moment, Lumian let go of his hands, his body shortened, and rolled forward to the side of the stone wall.
Plop!
The water monster fell behind him.
Lumian turned around quickly, grabbed the monster's one leg, and then used his waist and abdomen to pull it up and smash it against the stone wall.
Bang!
The monster's head sank.
Lumian didn't stop, he kept holding it in mid-air, smashing it into the pillar, smashing it into the wall, smashing it to the ground, and the dark red blood mixed with a pale yellow liquid splashed around.
In the banging sound, a pothole appeared on the stone wall, and the water monster's head gradually cracked, and the things inside were stained with blood.
More than ten meters away, Aosta. When Trul saw this scene, his mouth opened slightly and he forgot to close it:
How brutal!
Amazing!
Plop down, Lumian throws the completely lifeless, dilapidated water monster to the ground.
