Chapter 437 436. Empty Soul
Although she has been criticized several times, the fog demon is still brave and free to sleep. She has a magical body and can easily pass through most walls. Therefore, she often appears in Lu Yu's room in the first half of the night, and rises into Sierra's room in the second half of the night, but flies out of the wonders outside the house at dawn.
This scene once put great psychological pressure on the new arrival of Chenxi to lead everyone, especially the battle group.
The night is dark and the wind is high. When patrolling to the core area, you can see half of the head or half of the body exposed on the wall at first sight. No matter who you are, you will tremble all over.
Tonight is no exception. When the battle group left the area where the three lords lived, they saw a familiar half of their body. The sleeping mist demon was completely unaware that he was about to leave Lu Yu's warm room. The members of the battle group could not bear to wake her up in her sleep, so they could only shake their heads and smile to continue their work.
As the patrol area expanded, the number of members of the battle team near the mansion gradually became rare, and the sound of the flapping of the Pegasus wings left the morning head back to silence again.
"Click..."
"Click~~~"
It was like someone walking on wooden clogs, or it was like someone holding a wooden stick to make a series of friction sounds that were not harsh but very disharmonious.
Some of the members of the combat team who had just fallen asleep woke up in a daze. Listening to the strange sounds gradually fading away, he shook his head: "Is it an illusion... It was so cold just now."
As he said that, he wrapped his bedding tightly and buried his head in.
He didn't think anything about the sudden strange sound. In the past, in the second half of the night, most of the members of the battle group were tired and sleepy. When they returned to the core area of the territory, they would find some entertainment, either compete with wooden swords or slapped with stones. They were all childish activities, but the people who lacked childhood since childhood always had a lot of fun, because the comfort of the morning light led them to have their own happy time for a long time.
He felt that his companions were too noisy, and he muttered and complained when he fell asleep.
The fog demon is dreaming, unlike the complex and bizarre dreams of ordinary people, her dreams are often extremely simple.
In the dream, the fog demon can easily control the color of his body. He is no longer gray, but can also freely transform from a cloud of fog into a physical individual, freely imitating everything around him.
Tonight's dream was particularly interesting. The fog demon turned into two giant noses, blocking Huo Gu's nostrils. Seeing Huo Gu's mouth was so angry that he opened his mouth to breathe, exhaling hard but unable to squeeze her away, the fog demon smiled happily.
The fog demon, whose nostrils were stuck in the last second, suddenly felt uncontrollable and stinging all over his body. The powerful attraction was dragging her out of Huogu's nose.
The strong wind blew her solid body into a slight slightest, and her body was pulled and torn apart, turning into a slight white thread.
"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, don't bully me, I'm wrong, I'm wrong!"
The powerful suction did not stop because the fog demon begged for mercy. The fog demon's body began to fade, and a sense of weakness came.
The fog demon woke up from horror. When his eyes opened, in the dark night sky, more than a dozen heads floating in the air cast a cold and terrifying gaze with their deep and dull eyes.
"What are you, ah!!"
The fog demon's body involuntarily slid out of the wall. After a moment, she could no longer change back to her most original appearance - a ball of white fog, and a strange life made of more than a dozen human heads was sucking her magic through her leaking mouth.
The fog demon wanted to resist, but found that his magic power could no longer be mobilized. An indescribable force wrapped around her, accelerating the disintegration of her body.
"Lu Yu, save me!!"
The terrified fog demon let out a heart-wrenching wail.
Lu Yu, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly woke up, and his head was a little dizzy, he was stunned for a moment, and the first to find that he was sleeping with him, crawled out of Lu Yu's quilt. Xiao An, who had been slow in action, rushed to the bed and hit him head-on. She seemed to have forgotten that she had a physical body.
Feeling the strange magic fluctuations and the coldness spreading into the room, Lu Yu's hair stood upright, and his excellent intuition established by traveling abroad for a long time made him realize the abnormality immediately. He rushed to the window and poked out.
"Swoosh!"
The foreign object that broke through the air brought out a strong wind, and Lu Yu subconsciously shrank his head.
The arms covered with brown and green scales were sank into the window railing, and broken wood chips and glass splashed. Xiao An stepped forward and blocked Lu Yu.
Looking at the arms, Lu Yu's heart trembled: "Half-dragon man's arms..."
"What a joke, who would use the half-dragon man's arm as a weapon!"
"Lu Yu!!!"
Just a hasty glance, Lu Yu found that the fog demon's body was shrinking rapidly, and now even his voice became sharp.
Without thinking, watching the pair of slowly pulling out of the window bar, calibrating like a floating cannon, facing his arm again, Lu Yu gritted his teeth, shouting his name for a moment, and then took a step forward, and before his arm was launched, he grabbed the window ridge covered with sharp debris and flew out.
"What the hell is this?"
Lu Yu's scalp was numb, and the monster in front of him was devouring the fog demon was composed of more than a dozen heads floating in the air, more than twenty arms, thighs, and a large number of organs.
They were not combined together, as if they were being pulled in the air by invisible silk threads. From time to time they would gather together to form a human-shaped outline, but they were so deformed that they could not see. He was twisting all the time, like a sea lily, dancing with the flow of water.
The fog demon used the remaining magic power to grab Xiao An tightly, and Xiao An attached all the tentacles to the wall.
"Lu Yu, I feel so uncomfortable." The fog demon was already crying. She could only express her current state in this way without feeling any pain.
"In a moment!"
Accompanied by Lu Yu's angry roar, he walked out of the wall in a moment.
"Tear him apart!"
As he said that, Lu Yu also rushed forward. Although his long-term research on summoning made him unfamiliar with basic magic battles, he could no longer think too much at this moment.
He had a very good relationship with Wu Yao and gritted his teeth for a moment and poured the blood tank he carried with him towards the deformity. The blood beads in the air condensed into a spear, penetrated straight through the deformity's floating head.
The small wings spread out, the dense eyeballs began to rotate, and malignant blood-red light shone on the organs. After a while, they were full of holes and fell to the ground with a bang.
On his shoulder for a moment, the arch squirted out flames and finished the attack on the organs still jumping on the ground.
Sera and Lulu, who also reacted, joined the battlefield. The huge fireball fell from the sky, but the deformed objects showed super mobility beyond imagination. The body swayed left and right, quickly retreating, avoiding this powerful blow.
The fire surged into the sky, and the explosion in the middle of the night was far away.
Lu Yu, who was choked by the explosion, rushed to Wu Yao's side, looked at the white mist that had been curled into a ball, and asked anxiously: "Mist Demon, how are you?"
"It's... uncomfortable. I can't transform, I can't transform..." Wu Yao's speech was getting faster and faster, and the fear in his tone was beyond words.
Lu Yu, who had a gloomy face, turned around without saying a word and pounced on the reorganized deformity again.
"Wait, something is wrong with this guy!" Seeing Lu Yu coming, Sera hurriedly stopped him.
Lu Yu asked: "I saw that ordinary attacks were invalid, and it was like a puppet with no 'point' that could be called the core. I don't understand what it is, but it snatched away the power belonging to the fog demon, and I want to tear it!"
"It has the same breath as a resentful spirit." Xu Xu played with a gun flower, immersed the tip of the gun into the head that was swept down by her, and picked it up and saw it, and was stunned. "This... seems to be Clorence's doll material?"
Everyone present quickly focused on the head of the spear tip in a moment, and picked up various organs that fell on the ground, and was shocked.
"It's not true...it's all puppet material."
The dozen or so heads remaining in the deformed object began to rotate at high speed, and the floating arm picked up the wooden sticks and stones around it.
"The light attribute magic should have miraculous effects on it, Serra takes action!" Lulu shouted.
The glory of the country transformed into classic magic [The meaning of glory] reappeared in Serra's hand. The spear condensed from her palm pierced the body of the deformed object with an unyielding aura. The corrosive "hiss" sounded immediately, but the deformed object was not severely damaged. It still slapped the ground, threw wooden roots and stones, and pounced on the fog demon.
With the actions of the deformed objects, the fog demon's visible to the naked eye has shrunk a lot.
"Not the resentful spirits? Their aura is exactly the same!"
Lu Yu withdrew from Xiao An and the summoning ceremony began.
"Demon-Devouring Tree, suck it dry!" He blocked the fog demon.
The Demon-Devouring Tree, which was special in magic attack, felt Lu Yu's anger and anxiety. The hanging branches all moved forward, wrapping around the floating body of the deformed object as much as possible, and at the same time turned into a vacuum cleaner and fully opened the suction force.
It was also at this moment that the deformed objects that seemed to be manipulated by the power of nothingness brought ripples, and the master behind the scenes, who was invisible and could not be easily detected, showed his figure.
Countless spiritual bodies were shattered by the suction force of the Demon-Devouring Tree, and turned into magic power. They quickly dissipated. From time to time, they could see twisted faces flashing in the night sky.
Huo Gu, who rushed over, found that the fog demon was shrinking into a ball, and the hot breath was brewing in his mouth. The overflowing fire light showed his almost crazy heart.
The deformed objects were still struggling, but the Demon-Eating Tree did not let it go further and continued to affect the fog demon. The sharp echoes that sounded in the void were the last traces they remained in this world.
"Mist demon, fog demon."
Huo Gu, who carefully bypassed the building, was no longer as reserved as before. He trembled and lowered his head, looking at the weak and pitiful fog demon who had no strength to speak, and tears dripped.
"Say something, you're fine, right..."
When Xiao An found that the fog demon was vague, he swallowed her into his body without saying a word. Seeing this action, Huo Gu subconsciously raised his claws.
"No, Xiao An is accelerating the healing of the fog demon. She is connected with my magic power and can distribute the magic power to the fog demon!"
Hearing Lu Yu's explanation, Huo Gu put down his claws little by little, but his body was still trembling.
"Why, what is that, why does it appear here? It easily devours the origin magic of the fog demon. It is the necessary force to maintain her existence and the core of any magical body's life!"
The so-called care is confusing. The angry Huo Gu gradually regained his calmness. He paused: "I am not deliberately making a fuss, I just hope to know what is wrong with the safety of the Chenxi Ling. This time the fog demon is not in danger of life. This magic power of origin can also be quickly healed with the environment in the magic wave, but what about the next time?"
The members of the battle team who rushed over looked down guiltily. Zi Xing, as the captain in the second half of the night, did not shirk responsibility: "It's because I didn't plan the route."
"It has nothing to do with them. This monster was bred in the Dawn Corps, not an outside invader."
Sira, who was squatting on the ground to study the debris of the deformed objects, discussed it with Lulu.
"What is it?" Huogu asked.
"Gentleman."
"There are no corpses in the Chenxi Corps. All the corpses that were soaked in the disaster were properly burned and dealt with. There is no body they need here..." Huo Gu, who was a corpse burner, was halfway through his speech, and suddenly thought of something.
"Doll..." Huogu murmured creepy.
"That's right, it's a doll. These unconscious spirits will naturally find a carrier that suits them, either a corpse or a soulless thing, for example, a doll that is not much different from the body required for normal life."
Lulu said: "Puppets are empty. When creating them, the great puppet masters always pursue the vision of "consciousness transfer" and "body replacement", so every puppet is actually the most suitable carrier of consciousness."
"In the last era, consciousness transfer was limited by the environment and could not be successful. However, in this era, after the emergence of vengeful spirits, this possibility is gradually becoming a reality, and the doll equivalent to low-lying areas will naturally attract spirits that desire to revive."
Lu Yu, who recovered from his anger, took a deep breath: "In other words, these resentful spirits attacked the fog demon because they were also magical bodies and alternative spirits. They longed to have a more complete consciousness, so they began to chase the 'fog demon' after occupying the empty doll?"
Huo Gu stared at the fog demon with pity. As a giant dragon, his knowledge began to be insufficient in the face of this turbulent new era. Unexpectedly, the fog demon would become the target of spiritual pursuit, and everyone began to worry.
"The new resentful spirits are extremely hidden, and it is difficult for us to detect them unless they are officially possessed... How to prevent this?" Sela bit her finger.
Lu Yu thought for a while, then turned to ask Siglid: "How many magic-breaking stones do we have?"
"Not many, we didn't consider this layer when we first hoarded items. Moreover, in the Mela Continent, the Demon-Breaking Stone has always been very in short supply and often needs to barter." Siglid, who knew the supplies in his hands, immediately answered.
Lulu shivered as soon as she thought of the source of a magic-breaking stone.
"Lu Yu, the two dolls in the silent mountain range!"
Upon hearing this, Sera and Lu Yu also trembled all over.
