Chapter 101: The Demon of Delusion
Face the danger zone widening ahead, and the unpredictable wandering beast.
The choice Su Mu made in the end can be said to be extremely conservative:
"Continue to walk close to the edge of the danger zone, if there is a delusional beast wandering outside the danger zone, then it will not easily clash with other delirium beasts entrenched. ”
"As long as we remain on the fringes of the other delusions, the most uncontrollable wandering beast will not be too easily aware of our movements. ”
While Su Mu said this plan, he also quickly sketched a road that always walks at the junction of safety and danger on the hazard map.
And it is precisely because more than half of the area here is inhabited by delusional beasts.
On the contrary, this allowed Su Mu and his party to always be in between, and they could completely use the deterrence of the entrenched delirium beast to avoid other uncontrollable dangers throughout the whole process.
Sure enough, under the caution of Su Mu and his party, the four of them were almost not harassed by any delusional beasts.
Even according to the hand-drawn map of the danger area, as long as Su Mu and his party left the area in front of them for dozens of miles, the farther place would become relatively safe again.
Not only will the number of entrenched beasts be greatly reduced.
At the same time, there will be no more uncontrollable threats such as wandering beasts.
However, it was just when Su Mu and his party of four were clinging to the edge of the danger area, trying to pass through the area in front of them before sunset today.
Jiang Lan, who has been manipulating wild objects to explore the way, rarely showed a mysterious look.
Seeing this, Su Mu immediately raised his hand to stop moving forward, and looked at Jiang Lan with a confused expression extremely seriously.
Although along the way, Su Mu and his party did not encounter a real crisis.
But in a treacherous place like the Yunzhong Mountain Range, in fact, any small difference is very likely to cause a disaster that cannot be dealt with.
Therefore, for Jiang Lan's abnormal expression, Su Mu naturally became alert for the first time.
And just as Su Mu expected, at the moment when everyone just stopped, Jiang Lan had already frowned slightly, and turned to Su Mu to say an extremely strange phenomenon:
"The pathfinder beast I controlled was killed by something else!"
......
The pathfinder beast is killed, and of course it may just be an accident. After all, in the spruce forests of the Cloud Vertical Mountains, it is not known how many predators are waiting for the opportunity to hunt.
But Jiang Lan's next words completely dispelled any speculation about coincidences:
"Because of the small-print level of fine control magic, it is not able to share the perception of beasts. So I took control of a total of five beasts and made them run in a loop in the direction we were going to go. As long as each beast can return to me intact, it means that there are no delusional beasts in this area ahead of us that will be disturbed. ”
"But what makes me feel strange is that the five beasts I controlled before have each returned to me alive. However, when two of them returned, they were visibly bloodstained, as if they had been scratched by something or attacked by something. ”
"But the beasts weren't killed at the time, and while I did have some suspicions, I didn't think much further. However, the scarred beasts disappeared from my control almost simultaneously on the second time they went ahead to explore their path. ”
"Beasts without any wisdom and energy can't break free from my control on their own, so the reason for the disappearance of their spiritual imprints can undoubtedly only be ...... Something will kill them!"
And it was Jiang Lan who had just finished talking about this strange phenomenon.
A strange hiss like a child's whimper quietly floated from the dense forest around Su Mu and his party, like ghosts.
"Delusional?"
Almost in unison, Su Mu and Jiang Lan said this word at the same time.
Before setting out from Maz City, the two people who had specially supplemented the knowledge of delusion beasts from the delusion beast illustrated book now have a general understanding of the entire delusion beast system.
Just like the Flying Whale, a creature that is delusional usually has some kind of particularly powerful ability.
And what can think like a human being, and determine the position of everyone with the help of wounded beasts, can only be a delusional demon who is not very powerful, but extremely treacherous.
And at this moment, the unknown delusional demon has obviously determined the location of Su Mu and his party.
But it didn't want to show up at all, just let out a cry in the dense forest.
Invisibly, this will obviously cause great pressure on Su Mu and his party today.
"Mao Nier took Su Tong and walked in the middle of the team, Jiang Lan continued to explore the path, and I was responsible for the rear. Continue to follow the route just now, and don't let this delusional demon get too much pressure. ”
There is no doubt that the order given by Su Mu at this time is one of the best means to deal with the delusional demon.
Demons do possess intelligence comparable to that of humans, and they do use a variety of methods to put pressure on the creatures they target.
But at the end of the day, the biggest problem with delusions is that they tend to be weak.
Many mid-character level delusions, purely in terms of strength level, are not even as strong as the delusional beasts at the peak of the small character level.
As long as Su Mu and his party at this time do not distract too much attention because of the screams of the delusional demons.
Even if this delusion demon has been embellished with Su Mu's four people, as long as it does not achieve an absolute advantage, in terms of the wisdom of the delusional demon, it will not attack too easily.
......
Su Mu's judgment really hit the key point of the delusional demon.
When Su Mu and the four of them still walked along the edge of the danger zone, they completely ignored the strange cry of the delusional demon.
Even if the whimper was still circling, it didn't affect the progress of the four of them in the slightest.
And even if it is a delusional demon with a mysterious whereabouts, there is still an area that is familiar to it after all, and the more intelligent the creature, the more reluctant it is to easily enter the unfamiliar environment for hunting.
Therefore, as long as Su Mu and the four of them maintain their current travel speed, it will not take too long for the four of them to leave the area in front of them completely.
And at that time, the wisdom of the delusion demon comparable to that of human beings would make it give up the pursuit of Su Mu and the four people.
However, Su Mu's plan, although it seems that the delusional demon is helpless.
But whether it is Su Mu or Jiang Lan, both of them understand very well that ignoring the mental pressure caused by the delusion demon is actually only the first step in the confrontation with the delusional demon.
The notoriously unpredictable demons obviously don't have only this level of means.
Sure enough, as Su Mu and his party continued to move forward cleanly, the childlike cry of the delusional demon gradually drifted quietly into the distance.
As if in vain, they drifted to the other end of the spruce forest.
However, this move not only did not represent the abandonment of the delusional demon, but it instantly made Su Mu and the four of them truly alert to the purpose of the delusional demon.
Because the cry drifted to the ...... It is the area where the delusional beast is entrenched, in the center of it!
