Chapter 31: The Phantom of the Labyrinth

All along, the safety of the Crescent Moon Manor has not been a concern for Mo An, this huge manor is protected by several layers of enchantments. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info In addition, there are countless "gatekeepers". The so-called "gatekeepers" are the guardians of various incarnations, including youkai, elves, and magicians. Of course, Mo'an will also give corresponding rewards, but the rewards for youkai and magicians are completely different, the former may be just a meal or a living space, while the latter is much more complicated, but in Mr. Mo'an's opinion, this is nothing.

There is a water pavilion in the backyard of Crescent Manor, next to which is a hanging garden. Although it was still night, it was brightly lit, and the marble pillars around it were covered with shamans, and the fragrance of flowers fluttered up and down in the autumn wind. There were two large comfortable chairs in the open space in the middle of the garden, velvet covered, soft and moderate, Mo An was sitting on one of the chairs at this time, he didn't have the heart to enjoy the beauty of the garden, and frequently turned his head to look at Xuanyu beside him.

Xuanyu's whole body sank lazily into the big chair, her legs curled up in front of her chest, her head tilted to Mo'an's side, and she rested on the armrests. In his right hand, he pinched a bunch of sparkling grapes and sent them to his mouth one by one. At this time, Xuanyu's face was as pale as paper, but her lips were as red as blood, and she was delicate. Like Moan, he didn't focus on the scenery either. Mo Anxin was a little apprehensive, and he didn't find a suitable opportunity to open his mouth to ask Xuanyu several times. The autumn wind blew through his clothes, and he shivered. Hurriedly ordered someone to bring the coat, and secretly glanced at the other party a few times during the process, he was still the same. Mo An finally couldn't help it, he asked, "Her ability is really that strong?"

Xuanyu narrowed her eyes, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly: "Just look at it." As he spoke, his eyes wandered to the middle of the pool not far away.

The area of the pool is not large, but the water is clear and quiet. Although the autumn wind blows the veils and vines flutter everywhere, and the flowers and leaves sway, the water does not have a ripple, like a mirror. At this time, the center of the pool was shining brightly, and the figure that appeared on the surface of the water was as clear as the real thing, and it was Lucia. Mo An and Xuanyu had been observing Lucia's every move through the water mirror from the moment she left the room, including eliminating the hungry soul and getting rid of the attack of the gyro beauty, and when he saw that the walls of his flower room were shattered, Mo An frowned, and he had a feeling that if this little girl continued to stay here, sooner or later he would demolish his Crescent Manor.

When he saw Lucia enter the woods, Moan couldn't sit still, and he said meaningfully, "Is this too cruel to her?"

Unlike Mo An, Xuanyu admired it with relish. He didn't speak, just looked at the mirror, and then concentrated on eating the grapes.

On the other hand, in the labyrinthine woods of Crescent Manor, Lucia is embracing her mother, and the youkai spits out its slender tongue and curls and pierces Lucia's ear. At the last moment, the tongue was grabbed by her. In fact, she knew that this woman was not her mother and knew it from the beginning. Even so, she wanted to feel what it was like to be in her mother's arms, even if it was given to her by a youkai.

The youkai's tongue was slippery, and although Lucia caught it, she pulled it out with a little force. Before Lucia could make a move, the next second, the entire human form of the youkai disappeared, leaving no scent or trace. Lucia couldn't help but sigh, and she vaguely felt that this monster was tricky.

The autumn breeze carries the coolness of dawn through the forest, and the branches and leaves rustle. Lucia tensed up and slowly turned her feet, and the danger signal came from all directions. Between the fireworks, black silhouettes flashed from behind one tree, quickly revealed among the branches and leaves of another, and then moved again at a speed that the human eye could not catch, and again and again, Lucia could not follow its trajectory.

The sky was getting brighter, and the golden light shone on the earth, except for the forest, which was still languishing in a black morning mist. Suddenly, a ray of light shot straight down, hitting a flat ground in front of Lucia, and a figure appeared in the light, and the outline gradually became clear. The clouds dispersed, Lucia's pupils dilated slightly, and it was the master who appeared in front of her.

Light and shadow are false and real, and illusions are real and false. Knowing that it was the incarnation of the monster, Lucia still couldn't hide the surging thoughts in her heart, she shouted: "Don't come here!" I don't know if it was the fatigue of fighting all night or too strong mood swings, she sat down, closed her eyes, blocked her ears, and roared, "Why did you come to me since you chose her in the first place!"

It was obviously his own words, but he stabbed his heart like a sharp sword. How many times had Lucia wanted to shout it out like this, but she held back anyway. I thought there would be no pain if I endured it, but she was wrong. The emotions that cannot be released accumulate more and more, and eventually they will be out of control. Just like now, feelings are like a flood that bursts the embankment, instantly venting, roaring, cursing, watching the familiar and unfamiliar figure approach him step by step.

However, Lucia didn't cry out after all. In a flash, the lightsaber flashed and stabbed at the "master", and after the strange scream of "hiss", the person in front of him disappeared again. Lucia lowered her head, and there was a huge spider leg on the ground, the length of her lightsaber.

Lucia suddenly realized that she had always thought that this monster had the ability to transform into a human form, and it was not difficult to find that what it had transformed was the person Lucia had in mind. Judging by the leg that was cut off from the youkai just now, it doesn't belong to a high-level youkai, and it doesn't have the ability to read minds. Therefore, the human form that conjured up was entirely Lucia's own imagination, which meant that this was a youkai who was good at using illusions. Actually, this forest is not that big, and it is not a labyrinth forest, all of which was created by that monster!

"See through!" Lucia said the incantation, and everything around her was colorless, except for her turquoise eyes, which lit up through the morning mist and searched like a searchlight. Five or six meters in front of him, on a big tree, the red heart was beating "plopping", Lucia instantly drew her lightsaber and shouted: "I see you!"

The blade of the sword flashed brightly, and went straight to the heart of the youkai! Closely watching Lucia's movements, the youkai quickly twisted its body and leaped from one tree to the other, with an astonishing degree of agility. Although Lucia pounced, the other party's jump made Lucia completely see its true face. She crouched down on the branch and placed the lightsaber in front of her eyes, twisting the angle of the sword, exposing the monster's form to the spine of the sword with the refraction of the light.

Lucia never expected this kind of monster, she clenched the hilt of her sword and gritted her teeth, it seemed that a fierce battle was inevitable!
