Lumian originally felt that Wanak, who could borrow a little power from "0-01", should be more dangerous than Albus and Julie, and now this area full of thunder is so suitable for the opponent to play:
Regardless of whether Vanak can only change the weather to a similar state, whether he can still be compared to Julie and Salisto who can become vessels for gods, he is comparable to a true demigod in the Thunder Forest.
"Albus and I will be hoisted up by the thunderstorm and beaten ......" Lumian's first reaction was to quickly exit the area and find a way to the location of "0-01".
In the blink of an eye, Lumian remembered the nightmares he had had.
He remembered that behind the Thunder Forest was a mountain peak made of corpses and bones, and the top of the peak was suspected to have "0-01" inserted!
In other words, this is the only way to enter the sealed core area, and there is no way to bypass it!
Although this is not clearly identified in the book "Examples of the Construction of Underground Mausoleums", it is hinted at.
"Or, pretend to back off and fish out Wanak to avoid fighting him in Thunder Forest......
"Wait a minute......"
Lumian suddenly had a bold idea.
Since the previous dangers regarded himself as a kind of person, would Vanak, as a "0-01" puppet, make a similar judgment?
Vanak cannot be seen as a human with complete intelligence, but more like a self-aware puppet.
Such a goal is likely to be deceived in the past!
"When I first arrived in Morola, there was still very little '0-01' pollution on my body, and it was normal for a pile of messy things to arouse Vanak's hostility, but now I have been studying for a long time, and the pollution is gradually approaching the critical point.
"You can try it.
"If not, activate the shadow to withstand lightning attacks, seize the opportunity to 'teleport' outside, and not fight Wanak in the Thunder Forest......"
Lumian quickly made a decision and took a step forward.
In the process, he recalled the nightmares he had after entering Morola, listening to the already normal brass earplugs to tell the knowledge, so that he could be more in tune with the pollution, while aimlessly thinking about important or meaningless questions to help his mental state relax a little and make his body less tense.
That might make Vanak see something unusual!
"Why did you go directly to the Thunder Forest?
"According to the nightmare, shouldn't there be a burning palace ahead, a waterfall-like torrential rain?
"They are on a different route?
「……」
Lumian endured the increasingly intense tingling sensation, silently calculating the distance he had traveled.
"There are still three or four steps to meet Vanak......"
As soon as Lumian flashed such a thought, he heard a slow but long breathing sound coming from a few meters away, covered by the rolling and echoing thunder.
Lumian's back tensed up again involuntarily, and his right palm was inserted into the "traveler's bag", always ready to bring out the rotten corpse of the "abscess and severed hand".
——After the previous wriggling approach, they have been combined, but for the time being, they have not been able to break through the blockade of the "Traveler's Bag" and reunite with their own heads.
As he approached Vanak, Lumian, who couldn't see the other party's expression at all, subconsciously wanted to hold his breath.
He quickly adjusted and forced himself to remain normal.
In the next second, he felt that his eyes were on him, so much so that the skin on his face had a layer of fine bumps that were not very obvious.
It was from Vanak's gaze.
At this moment, Lumian wished he was a "hypnotist", but he could only keep telling himself in his heart, "I am the experimenter, I am the experimenter......"
Like those experimenters in black robes, he maintained a straight forward posture.
"Two steps...... One step ......" Lumian tried to empty his head.
He walked past the imaginary Vanak.
"One step...... Two steps...... Three steps ......" Lumian didn't dare to relax, feeling a dense cold sweat dripping from his back.
Outside the Thunder Forest, Albus. With the help of the eyes of a guard puppet, Medici watched intently as Lumian carried a calcium carbide lamp and a tattered head, step by step towards Wanak, who had unbuttoned the two buttons of his shirt.
He saw Vanak's gaze fall on Lumian, followed for seven or eight seconds and then slowly moved away, seeing Lumian cross over the most dangerous figure in Morora and walk towards the end of the Thunder Forest.
"This ......" Albus first narrowed his eyes, and then laughed, "It turns out that I relied on this method to pass through the dangerous areas in front of me, no wonder I have been reading and studying for the past few weeks...... When we reach our destination, we have to guard against him taking advantage of this......"
Lumian walked for a while, feeling the tingling on his body surface begin to subside, and the sound emitted through the brass earplugs leaked out and produced a very faint echo.
This made Lumian immediately judge that he had left the Thunder Forest and entered a passage that was not spacious enough.
"After walking through this corridor, you should arrive around the Corpse Mountain......
"I have to wait a moment, wait for Albus to catch up, or will I collide with Julie and the others myself?
"Hehe, I don't know how Albus can get past Vanak's blocking ......"
Lumian stopped and listened to the movement in the direction of the Thunder Forest.
Da, da, da, he heard the sound of footsteps that were neither fast nor slow.
"Why stop?" Vanak's voice with a strong sharpness suddenly sounded in his ears.
A chill rushed from Lumian's tail vertebrae to the back of his head, making him almost present a headless corpse with an "abscess and broken hand".
He was a little stiff and wanted to "explain", but after his thoughts turned around, he chose to remain silent and began to move forward silently.
In the feeling that the air was almost frozen, Lumian heard the sound of footsteps passing over him and walking towards the end of the corridor.
Shout...... He exhaled quietly.
He didn't stop anymore, but slowed down, like a snail crawling.
Soon, he felt like he was being watched by countless lights again.
Seeing Vanak rushing to the place where "0-01" was placed, Albus. Medici laughed at Lumian's vain adventure while calmly passing through the Thunder Forest.
Through the few guard puppets in the corridor, Albus saw that the walls on both sides were made of square steel, and the metal surface was as smooth as a mirror.
At this time, distorted and pale faces appeared in the "mirrors".
These faces belonged to the inhabitants of Morora, who were silently staring at Lumian, sometimes someone carefully poked their palms out of the metal surface and quietly grabbed Lumian's body.
Lumian only split a ball of flames in this direction without making too many aggressive moves.
Seeing that the pale palm retracted into the steel wall, Albus let the soldier puppet in front of him open his mouth:
"I don't see that Wanak is blindfolded, do you want to try it too?"
In the underground mausoleum, a puppet of Vanak's level does not need to be blindfolded and does not have to worry about being replaced by the "man in the mirror"? Theoretically, I seem to be able to do it, after all, I am about the same as him...... Albus saw that I had not been attacked by Wanak just now, and he had doubts about my state and had a guess? Lumian calmly responded to Albus's words:
"I don't want to die yet."
He asked instead:
"Shall we wait here for a while, wait for Vanak and those two 'witches' to fight to the end, and then go pick up the bargain?"
Vanak must have rushed to Corpse Peak to stop Julie and Salisto from doing something to "0-01"!
Albus replied with a puppet:
"I didn't find those two 'witches' in front of me."
Julie and Salisto haven't come yet? Are you two "witches" lost? Obviously, you entered the underground mausoleum first! Or, have arrived, but hidden, waiting for the right moment? Lumian's thoughts were chaotic, and his slowed pace returned to its normal speed.
As he walked, he smiled at Albus and said:
"You should have noticed that Vanak won't attack me, wait a minute, do you let me go in by yourself and approach the target location without any hindrance, or do you stay with me, or get ahead of me?"
Lumian was worried that Albus would bully him out of sight, so he deliberately delayed for a while, allowing him to enter the area around the Corpse Mountain first to face possible accidents, so he pointed out his own abnormalities in advance, so that Albus had concerns and did not dare to let them go.
Of course, the next danger must be faced by two people together, don't think about dragging it behind, be the last to come out to pick up the fruits of victory!
Albus's laughter sounded in front of Lumian's side:
"Since a cooperation agreement has been reached, we must go in together."
"I appreciate you a little." Lumian replied hypocritically.
After walking more than a dozen steps, Lumian suddenly stopped, he felt that if he went further, he would really reach the mountain of corpses.
"Why aren't you leaving?" Albus asked through the soldier guarding the entrance.
"Why did you stop too?" Lumian asked rhetorically.
"You still don't trust me." Albus sighed.
Lumian responded amusedly:
"Aren't you the same?"
As he spoke, he suddenly quickened his pace, as if he was about to shake off Albus, and rushed to the foot of the corpse mountain first.
After a moment, he heard a whoosh, it was the sound of a flame spear piercing the air.
Lumian said "heh" and left the corridor completely.
In the next second, he felt a strong sense of danger.
It was not a hunch, but a "hunter's" intuitive reaction to the attack that was about to hit his head.
"Are you here to die too?"
Julie's voice suddenly echoed in Lumian's ears, cold and cold.
Lumian quickly activated the black mark on his right shoulder and pulled his right hand out of the Traveler's Bag.
It was carrying a dark and swollen headless corpse!
…………
Trier, Franka, and Jane rented the apartment.
Jenna said to Franka:
"Your previous proposal is really useful, I have already digested the 'witch' magic potion, and sure enough, I have to rely on mysterious danger."
Franka was suddenly overjoyed:
"Should I adjust for two days and then go to the sacrificial square in the catacombs to be promoted, or now?"
Jian Na pursed her mouth and said:
"My spiritual intuition tells me that it is better now."
