When Vanak's figure disappeared from the mirror, Lumian reluctantly put the books on the table into the "traveler's bag".
He stood up, left the room, walked to the door of Julie, and knocked twice.
Julie quickly opened the door, holding the quilt on her chest, her shoulders exposed, like two piles of snow reflecting the moonlight at night.
"I didn't want to harass you!" She said vaguely expectantly.
Lumian said to himself:
"Vanak invited me to deal with Gusin and Albus together, right in the pile of rubble at the Dades Agricultural Company."
After saying that, without waiting for Julie to respond, Lumian turned around and went down the stairs that were sleeping in the night, gradually merging with the darkness.
…………
In the hollow filled with the fog of war, in front of the four statues facing each other, Gu Xin, wearing a half-height silk top hat, said to Albus wearing a red striped jacket on a black background:
"I can't be sure if the clues related to Vanak are bait, and I will step on the trap later."
Albus put his hands in his pockets and said with a smile:
"So we came here.
"Regardless of whether there is a trap or not, what the trap is, as long as our strength is strong enough, we can invalidate their conspiracy and let them swallow the bitter fruits of failure themselves."
Gu Xin nodded lightly and said:
"Yes, I once heard a saying that no amount of eggs can break a stone together, and all we need to do now is turn ourselves into stone.
"Last time we were not sure whether we could lock down Wanak, so we didn't take the risk of stimulating the most powerful power of this altar so as not to waste it, but now, we can give Wanak a 'surprise'."
Albus smiled "hehe":
"It's good that it didn't work last time, but the illusion may allow Wanak to focus on all the targets we want to deal with, so that it can be solved all at once."
Speaking of this, Albus looked around and said with a sneer:
"I thought Lumian would return here these days, and deliberately asked you to leave the 'Lamp of Calamity' on the altar to induce him to use it, but I didn't expect him to be a coward."
"He should have been here." Gu Xin has an in-depth grasp of the topography and landforms around the altar, "Many attempts to destroy the statue, but failed, which caused the altar to draw a certain amount of power from the earth to repair itself, causing a small amount of detail changes, well, I really didn't expect him to be able to endure that kind of thirst and calling, and did not light the 'lamp of disaster' on the spot, in the 'hunter', this self-control ability belongs to the alien of the outliers."
Albus raised his chin:
"You should hold a ceremony quickly.
"Hehe, first check whether the 'Lamp of Calamity' has been replaced or if something has been added, a 'hunter' is really sorry for the name of this path if he doesn't do some damage."
"Do you look down on my caution?" Gu Xin laughed, approached the half-high stone platform, and picked up the lamp containing semi-solid, semi-liquid light butter.
He observed carefully for a while, then lightly smelled the smell emanating from the oil lamp, and finally put his finger in and tapped it twice near the wick.
Gu Xin immediately withdrew his fingers, letting the blazing white flames burn with the light butter on them.
With a bit of warmth, charm, dark fragrance and rusty smell, he quickly penetrated into the tip of his nose, he half-closed his eyes, nodded slightly, and said:
"No problem."
Albus then smiled and said:
"Where did you learn the production method of the 'Lamp of Calamity' and the corresponding secret rituals? It's quite magical."
"You'll know later, when we finish this matter, we will be real companions." Gu Xin said with a smile.
He turned around, facing the four statues and the "Lamp of Calamity", took out a palm-sized blue-clad tin soldier from his hidden pocket of clothes, and placed it on a half-height stone platform.
Isn't it the Fourth Age Trier? What's so hard to guess about this, it still needs to be kept secret...... Companion, hehe...... Albus began to move backwards, trying to distance himself from Gussin.
It's an instinctive choice to guard against the unexpected.
In the end, Albus stopped fourteen or fifteen meters away, watched Gu Xin light the oil lamp through the thick mist, sat cross-legged on the ground, and entered a meditative state to complete the tantric experience.
In just over ten seconds, Gu Xin "saw" a thick mist in the dark fragrance full of temptation.
Unlike the fog of war within the Hollow, this fog is stained with a dark hue.
It envelops a city with no boundaries in sight, with only a faint outline.
Gu Xin flew towards a place half-dazed and half-awake, very familiar.
I don't know how long it took, but he came to a tall tower that only had black shadows left, and it sank rapidly, entering the bottom with a sense of eerie horror.
There seems to be a well here, blended into the dark well.
Gusin repeated the purpose of this secret ritual to counter the growing muddles.
He approached the well and set his sights inside.
He immediately "saw" the moss-covered stones, and the iron-black chains locked on the inner wall of the ancient well, the relief on the surface of the chain was blurred, making it difficult to distinguish the specific appearance.
"Can you see the inside wall of the ancient well?
"It didn't work before......
"Is the effect so good this time because I am getting closer and closer to the Great Being?" Gu Xin was surprised.
He excitedly moved his gaze to the dark water surface inside the ancient well.
The dark and deep well water gently shook the waves, gradually condensing a figure.
Gu Xin tried his best to look and suddenly saw pieces of tan bark.
They are embedded in a certain face, bringing indescribable horror and horror.
"Bark ......" Gusin was startled and a strong doubt emerged.
Why is there such a thing as bark here?
Shouldn't it be steel and blood?
Gusin instinctively lowered his head and looked at his hands, only to find that there were also pieces of tan, rusty bark on the backs of his hands.
This...... Gu Xin's pupils dilated sharply, and he once again set his sights on the dark and deep surface of the well water.
He saw the figure reflected on it clearly.
That's himself!
His face is filled with mottled bark!
In the next second, these barks wriggled at the same time, sunken inward, and stained the color of flesh.
They turned into one wet spore after another, embedded in flesh and blood, which bloomed one after another, as if to spit out countless naked villains.
Gu Xin's fear suddenly broke through the limit, and he suddenly opened his eyes, getting rid of the secret experience just now.
Shout...... As he gasped, he saw that the tin soldier placed on the half-height stone platform quickly swelled, and soon became three or four meters high, and his eyes were iron-black, no longer burning dark red light.
The spear carried by this tin soldier quickly covered the flames with blazing white and blue.
"Successful......" Gu Xin calmed down and was no longer so tense.
He felt that the anomaly that appeared just now was brought about by him getting closer and closer to the Great Being, and it was the deepening of his previous secret experience, so there would be obvious differences and show more details.
"I'm stronger......" Gu Xin stood up, stretched out his right hand, and extinguished the "Lamp of Calamity" that was still burning.
"Is this a soldier doll with some of the strength and personality of the 'Predator Knight'?" Albus walked back slowly from more than ten meters away.
"Yes, it can be treated as a weakened 'Predator', not something that Vanak can compare." Gusin replied very confidently.
He hadn't had time to examine what benefits and knowledge he had gained from the secret experience.
Albus took a few steps and then stopped suddenly.
He looked at Gu Xin and showed a playful smile:
"Your hair is long."
My hair has grown longer...... Gu Xin turned his head to the side and found that his brown hair had never grown to his cheeks.
He suddenly had a guess:
The gain of this secret experience brought me closer to the "witch" path?
With such doubts, he lowered his head.
Sure enough, he saw his breasts slowly bulging, raising his shirt, cashmere sweater and dress jacket.
Almost at the same time, Gu Xin smelled a faint milky smell.
Milky smell...... Gu Xin was stunned again.
Will this happen to the "witch" mutation?
He was about to ask Albus what else had changed when he saw the collaborator retreating step by step.
He immediately felt the three- or four-meter-tall tin soldier behind him bend his back and bring his head to his ear in the sound of metal colliding and rubbing.
The tin soldier made a sound full of metallic texture, and it shouted softly:
"Mom."
"Mom...... Me?" Gu Xin lowered his head blankly, finding that his abdomen was bulging at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Seeing this scene, his mind suddenly buzzed, and he felt like he had been given a new life.
Albus, who was slowly stepping back, so as not to provoke the abnormality, saw Gu Xin looking at him, showing a smile full of maternal brilliance, and those blue eyes were cold and extremely evil.
…………
Boom!
A huge explosion occurred in a neighborhood with a crater on the outskirts of the city, and the blazing white fireballs gathered, rolled and soared into the air, gradually dyeing a crimson color, creating a strong smoke.
At the Dades Agricultural Company, which had been reduced to ruins, Lumian and Vanak, who were hiding in the underground secret chamber, sensed the movement that almost brought about an earthquake.
Based on the direction the earthquake came, Lumian quickly guessed:
"The hollow of the fog of war?
"There was a violent explosion there?
"Albus and Gusin wanted to make some preparations before dealing with Vanak, so they lit the oil lamp that I had seasoned up, and then there was an accident?"
Lumian immediately shouted to Vanak:
"The situation has changed!"
After saying that, he broke out of the shadow creature state and directly "teleported" to the corresponding block.
He didn't directly choose the empty entrance with the fog of war as his destination, worried that the explosion just now was a bait created by Albus and Gussin!
Only the "hunter" knows how insidious the "hunter" is!
