Chapter 9: The Magical Headband × Return to the Castle
Picking up the helmet that flashed red, Qi Yu put it on his head without hesitation. sacrificing oneself to save oneself, such a dying gift from a comrade-in-arms will never be something harmful to oneself.
The black and gray metallic headband is very light, it will not press the head, and the inside of the part that wraps the right ear and right eye is also very smooth, and there is no resizing device on the inside of the headband, which is slightly larger, except for the fact that it is a little cold in this weather, it is generally quite comfortable to wear.
The most eye-catching part of the headband is the part that covers the eyes, which is where the red light flashed just now.
The moment Qi Yu put on the headband, the red light stopped flashing, and the part covering his right eye became transparent.
However, it is not completely transparent, and only a small part of the middle can see the scene outside. The transparency is not as good as any pair of glasses that Qi Yu has used before, like those used to watch stereoscopic movies, the cheap glasses that have been worn out and dirty feel much darker, and they can only look at the outside.
Intuition told Qi Yu that the function of the blindfold was that it was most useful to observe invisible monsters. The warrior and Mark who died before, the three of them have been carrying this thing when they fought with monsters, and combined with the various actions before and after, it is very revealing.
Thinking about it, the invisible monster crawled on his body before, and he couldn't even see a single hair of the monster, but he still stumbled into it by mistake, and used the ashes to make the monster appear part of its original form, which was really a fluke.
No matter how you look at the ashes, they are ordinary ashes, but just like glutinous rice to drive away ghosts, this ash may also have the miraculous effect of destroying the invisibility of monsters. Qi Yu took some with him when he was about to leave.

Stopping the study of the head ring, Qi Yu prepared to return, the little guy in the valley was his last thought. Mark is dead, the town is gone, and the world is unrecognizable. Qi Yu's biggest wish now is to keep the little guy safe and sound, never come out again in the Sugar Valley Fortress, and stay with him for the rest of his life.
In the future, he must learn a lesson, suppress his curiosity, and focus his mind on returning home safely, this is the only thing Qi Yu can do. If you are not a superman with one enemy against ten thousand, you should not do anything, just be a deserter to save your life and return to the little guy.
It's just what if on the way home, the monster catches up again. Qi Yu still turned over this experience full of horror, death and unknown in his mind, and repeatedly pondered to find a way to survive for himself. The stupid bird flies first, be prepared.
The first is the invisibility of the monster, it is estimated that it can be broken with this head ring, and the ashes can also play a certain role. And water stains will emerge where the monster is, which is also a place that can be observed indirectly.
Qi Yu pondered for a while and found some clues worth being happy about.
The speed of the monster is not fast! Judging by the recollection, its speed is nowhere near match its killing horror.
When the ash makes the monster manifest, the monster only shows the lower arthropods and tentacles, and the upper monster's body does not appear. But the visible part alone is quite striking, not to mention the unrevealed part.
Extrapolating backwards, such an amazing body shape, if it is a person of the same size, one step can withstand the average person to run a few steps. And the monster chased them, and now in this position, it took a while to catch up, and it is very likely that the speed is not fast. Running away is the best option.
In the end, the monster with bad legs and feet did not lose the two of them in the fog, and chased them all the way to this position, indicating that the monster has detection methods other than vision that can continue forever, but Qi Yu has no interest in thinking about it anymore, and it is right to run a little longer before it gets dark.

Mark's body was blasted to powder, and not even a large fragment of flesh could be found. All that can be found nearby is scattered pieces of torn clothing and armor from hands and feet.
Qi Yu didn't have time to remember. He wrapped a large piece of torn clothing in a bag of ashes for later use, and buried what he could find along with the terrible scene in the pit. After doing all this, Qi Yu packed up his mood, looked up a few times nearby, and finally saw the familiar clear dividing line again, and left.
I don't know how long it took, but in the fog that fell silent again, where the tragic battle was buried, several figures appeared, the same head ring, the same stick.
Several figures stopped around the pothole. One of them didn't have a mask and didn't wear a mask, he kept sniffing in the air, squatted down again, grabbed a handful of stone rice and smelled it at the place where Qi Yu had buried Mark's relics just now, and down, the rest of the figures directly picked it up with their hands, and with a few efforts, Mark's remaining relics reappeared in the world.
The man suddenly opened his mouth and said a few words, if Qi Yu found out here that this was not a language he was familiar with. After the man finished speaking, he thrust the stick in his hand into the stone plain under his feet, took off his head ring and touched it on the inside a few times, put it on the stick, and let go of his hands. The headband levitated, swaying back and forth for a while, and then flashed red in the direction Qi Yu left.
Taking the back ring back and drawing his weapon, the man nodded to the others, shouted, and chased in Qi Yu's direction.

When the fog thickened again, Qi Yu rushed to the exit of the snow forest that he had only left a few days ago. On the way to escape, the blood on his face and body was wet and dry, and now it became even more slippery under the infiltration of the night fog, thinking of Mark's tragic situation, Qi Yu's heart darkened.
Qi Yu had been paying attention to the movements behind him, and made a special bend on the dividing line between Xuelin and Ishihara for several sections. During this period, he felt the familiar palpitations several times, Qi Yu still thought that the monster was catching up again, and every time he didn't show anything in the head ring, he found that his body was full of strength again. In the end, Qi Yu was a little ridiculous, this is God helping him recharge.
It's just that if there is really a day, why sit back and watch the tragedy happen.
When he stepped into the familiar snow forest, Qi Yu checked his surroundings again and found no trace of the monster. The white mist still stayed quietly in the sky above Ishihara's side, dead or alive in the snow forest, this inexplicably familiar scene still gave Qi Yu an inexplicable sense of security, maybe the monster could only live in the fog, this was a bold guess, but unfortunately Qi Yu didn't want to verify.
Returning to the snow forest on this side of the dividing line, Qi Yu felt the air suddenly cold. There was no wind or snow in the snow forest, and the vision was clear, so clear that when it was just dark, Qi Yu could still see the tree shed he had built before.
Qi Yu was faintly happy and ran to the tree shed. When the shed was built before, many pine towers were scattered nearby. If you're lucky, find some pine nuts and rest here for a while to replenish your stamina.
And before you go home, you have to make a final check about the safety behind you. If you bring the monster back to the bunker, it will be a hundred sins that will not be atonement. At this time, Qi Yu hoped that the monster would come out as soon as possible, if he could keep the little guy safe, even if he was crushed.
Qi Yu's face gradually became resolute and cold, and the light in his eyes was eager to try.
