Chapter 1122: The Lantern Man

As soon as the obscuration of the vapor mist wore off, a humanoid creature in a leather robe and hooded floated forward with a lantern in his hand.

With the surrounding scenery and atmosphere, Zhao Wenrui feels that he can give 80 points.

The lantern-bearer didn't seem to notice him breaking through the mist and the darkness that swooped down in front of him in an instant. But he felt that the other party was pretending.

Sure enough, when he approached within 3 meters, Ti and the others twisted their bodies violently, faced him with their faces, and struck first.

The first wave of attacks originated from the lantern in his hand. The flame of a large candle suddenly skyrocketed, and the light that overflowed through the glass lampshade was no longer simply a bright yellow light, but a flame wave!

It's like a juggler's mouth spitting flames, splashing and burning, short but fierce.

At that moment, Zhao Wenrui estimated that the core temperature of this flame exceeded 1,800 degrees!

He found it interesting.

After all, there are few people who know the rulers of the old days better than him. As far as he knew, the Cthulhu family had little interest, or even an aversion, to playing with fire, even if in the Luo Terror, the opposite element of water was wind.

In this context, even if it is a high-ranking family, there are few who can make the core temperature of the oil lamp increase by more than 1800 degrees Celsius in an instant.

You know, the melting point of chromium is only 1855 degrees, iron is 1539, nickel is 1455, and copper is 1083......

Although this fire is only one burst and lasts only two or three seconds, it is still enough to burn people to death, and it is the kind of extremely tragic effect, and the flamethrower temperature during World War II is only 800-1300.

However, this fire can't help Zhao Wenrui.

But he didn't think about carrying it hard, and while the figure was blurred, he swayed out a number of afterimages, and chose one of the afterimages that avoided the front of the flame waves, and the real body was transferred there.

This skill is called phase shadow shift, and for those who don't know its principle and don't know how to crack it, it can be called an unsolvable move dodge technique.

This technique is not simply the product of the talent and knowledge of the old branch, but the development of his fusion of the two elements of darkness and wind, representing his integration of the old branch technology and the power of the bloodline, and it can even be said to be the embodiment and beginning of his own unique road.

Easily dodging the impact of the fierce fire, Zhao Wenrui did not become complacent, nor did he pay too much attention to the techniques or objects that produced the fierce fire in the moment, what he was paying attention to at the moment was the darkness in the deep hood of the lantern man.

Even in the moment when the fire raged, the blinding light still failed to illuminate the face of the lantern bearer's hood.

The thick and deep darkness inhabited it, reminding him of the abyss under the sea that had previously given birth to this new shell.

There is a severe lack of visible light, and even bright lights can't shine far.

However, the darkness inside the lantern man's hood has a little more supernatural and mysterious properties than the darkness in the abyss under the sea. Even he, a quasi-god-level creature with a high affinity for dark power (extraordinary power does not yet possess the characteristics of the divine power used by most gods), cannot see through it.

As if sensing his curiosity, the lantern man's hood turned abruptly and confronted him head-on again.

This made him a little dumbfounded, after all, the effect of 'phase shadow shift' had just ended, and the remnant of the figure was affected by the skill level, dark affinity, and external environment (the bleak and misty environment has a bonus to the spell), and it still did not completely dissipate.

The lantern man was able to lock on to him in time, which was not explained by a quick reaction, but by super sense.

The so-called transcendence refers to the induction with a higher mystical index than the general transcendental sense. After all, he is both high in skill and skill, and when he deliberately conceals with the power of the law, even a transcendent person cannot sense him, but can only perceive a darkness.

As for the body shape, if you want to deceive the visual observation on the optical side, it is the most superficial concealment technique, and there are too many mature methods to be worth mentioning.

So in just a few seconds, he experienced several cognitive changes. From the earliest sympathetic god-like of the old bronchi, to the approaching not god, and then to the current god-like, it can be described as twists and turns. After all, hypersensitivity is not common.

To be more specific, if you don't have the same force as him, there is no way to lock him so easily, and you can't fight him without falling behind.

As soon as the lantern man faced him again, the darkness in the hood erupted, like the light of a camping flashlight when it was running low, and the cone spread out, forming a clear marginal outline, but it was relatively dim and not particularly clear.

The dim light from the lanternman's hood is apparently not due to a lack of power, but to the fact that the light is black-gray.

At the beginning of the black light, Zhao Wenrui had already realized what he was going to face, and he gladly accepted it.

Sure enough, shrouded in this black light, Zhao Wenrui saw a magical face.

At first glance, this face looks unremarkable, like the faces of most of the sea people in this world, the skin is gray-green, and the nose is like Voldemort's nose, which is not prominent enough and has slender nostrils.

In fact, as an amphibian, the nose of the sea people is basically an ornament, the sense of smell is not developed enough, and the breath is not the main one, but the mouth, and when it is in the water, it simply uses the gills behind the ear holes.

Although Haimin's facial features are weird and he has no eyebrows, he can still appreciate it, and he feels that it is basically in line with human aesthetics and can distinguish between beauty and ugliness.

However, the ordinary appearance in front of you is not the point, the visual effect with the magnification effect is.

It felt like Ant-Man was shrinking and charging towards this face. Soon, the whole face was enlarged into a certain piece of the skin of the face, and the whole face could no longer be contained in the field of vision.

Next, a patch of skin is not fully visible, but folds, pores, hairs, and even the slightest flakes.

Moving on, continuing to zoom in, the scenery of the magical microcosm begins to fill the field of vision, and the deeper you go, the more bizarre and abstract it is difficult to describe.

In the end, it is indescribable.

If you are an ordinary person, you can't get to this step at all, and you will be dazzled and comatose by the brain's self-protection mechanism.

But he apparently won't. He even knows the unspeakable nature, and to put it bluntly, he accepts the information that exceeds the limit. At that moment, the human brain is like a computer that cannot calculate the amount of information in the face of excessive information, and it is possible that the shell will freeze, or even the combinator will burn out.

And he, though still more accustomed to the human way of thinking. But he already has the ability to switch to a higher-dimensional mindset.

Therefore, he can discern the full multidimensional appearance of the old ruler, and there is no indescribable in the absolute sense.

The reason why we need to add the prefix of 'absolute meaning' is because with the dimensional height represented by human thinking, the method of its birth, including verbal description, painting and writing, etc., is indeed not enough to write the whole picture of high-dimensional existence. This also means that corresponding to the current mainstream human thinking cognition, indescribable is an absolute label.

After the lantern man showed Zhao Wenrui's true face, he reached out and grabbed Zhao Wenrui's face.

It is said that the hand is a little raised, it is more appropriate to call it a tentacle, the fingers are the tentacles, and the palm is made of the tentacles coiled and entangled, and the tips of the tentacles reveal a ferocious and mysterious side, like the sharp breath of an insect, which can open like a flower, and those slender 'petals', which are more like the arthropods of arthropods, are wrapped in chitin carapaces on the outside, and the ends are sharp.

Between the arthropods, there are spider-eyed eyes, round and black shining.

And all these details are condensed in the small area at the end of a normal person's fingers, and the more you can see the details, the more terrifying and even disgusting you will feel.

Seeing that the lantern man wanted to tear his face, Zhao Wenrui smiled.

He knew that it was a ritual, and that taking the soul was the root purpose of the ritual.

He laughed because the other party had a little tacit understanding with him, and he actually wanted to play this ritual.

It can only be said that as the same kind, some basic methods of acting are very similar, and the so-called tacit understanding is actually mainly caused by the distortion of thinking. It's just that Zhao Wenrui hasn't realized it yet.

The lantern man wanted to tear his face, but was slapped in the face by Zhao Wenrui. Zhao Wenrui was not bewildered and trembling by the indescribable form released by the black light for even a second, but the last to come first, his right arm was raised, and the end of the arm turned into several shots, and the poisonous dragon poked into the hood of the lantern man like a dispatch.

The lantern bearer's movements came to an abrupt halt.

Then there is some kind of indescribable hissing, like the howling of snakes, lizards, cetaceans, and beasts, and it has to be mixed with some piercing screams of iron scraping, as well as some indescribable electric sounds, and then reverberation + echo effect processing, it is such a strange sound.

Zhao Wenrui was very satisfied.

This sound is very Cthulhu, and some of the old branches of its clan divers have a high concentration of bloodlines, which can be produced, and when transmitted in the sea, the sound will be like a symphony, more magnificent and long-lasting.

But what made him more satisfied was the other party's chaff-like shaking. It was a near-death convulsion, and it made him feel as happy as the average person watching a blockbuster explosion of an exploding shell.

'Poof!'

Like a water bag being pierced, dark green slightly viscous body fluids gushed out from under the leather robe, soaking the rusty iron pavement.

These bodily fluids are volatile, bubbling like hot water, and a strong smell of the sea is also dispersed, but they are fishy, not smelly.

Long black worms with sticky and oily bodies like eels rushed out from under their robes and fled in all directions.

Zhao Wenrui snorted, and black nails formed in the air, and then fell with a whizz.

After the long insects were nailed by the angular black nails, their bodies struggled and writhed, revealing obvious pain.

And this is obviously what Zhao Wenrui is willing to see, and even he contributed to it.

He can completely make the other party lose all changes in one move, because between the probes, he already understands that the other party only has nothing to show for it, and he is forced to rely on items to support the field, and his own strength is far inferior to him.

But in the end, he still chose to let the other party fully demonstrate the means of survival, and then strangle, so as to obtain the pleasure of ravaging the enemy.

The worm leaked more bodily fluid from the part that had been pierced by the nail, and then, like the body of a lantern bearer, quickly dried up, covering itself with a layer of skin.

More body fluids, a larger footprint, and a more efficient evaporation rate.

Vaguely, a few meters in the air above Zhao Wenrui's head, these volatile gases gradually formed a strange gaseous polymer, like a constantly changing cloud, brewing to a certain extent, and then trying to float away silently.

At this time, Zhao Wenrui did not raise his head, waved his sleeves very casually, and a fiery hot wind swept up, penetrating the gaseous polymer in an instant.

After the fire passed, the gaseous polymer did not change, and then the black powder fell, and before it could completely hit the ground, it flashed like a spark, and disappeared completely.

Zhao Wenrui felt a little uneasy, as an old clan, the change of the lantern bearer was still a little less in his opinion, which was a typical example of relying too much on external objects and not being proficient in learning.

"It's a pity, I just mentioned some interest, and I didn't play. ”

Zhao Wenrui sneered, and his eyes fell on the relics of the lantern fever.

The hooded leather robe has lost its transfiguration properties, revealing the essence of gray membranous skin. It looks far less thick than the leather robe, and the layer of Bobo is almost transparent.

The same goes for the skins of those long worms.

He knew that if it wasn't treated in time, it wouldn't be long before the skins would lose their transcendent properties and completely decompose.

The extraordinary power of this world is not very strong, and it cannot support the natural energy throughput needs of such an item that is considered a rare genius earth treasure even in the High Demon World.

There is also the oil lamp, the quality is not low, it was not eye-catching before, but at the moment it is revealing its original appearance, the appearance has not changed much, but the details are much more refined, etched a large number of mysterious symbols, and the material is not trivial.

The most important thing is that it reveals the archaic meaning of the thick years.

You know, according to the relevant information that Zhao Wenrui got from the memory of the tax collector Martin, this kind of lantern was born in this world for a total of 500 years, and the existence of this lantern, according to his estimate, at least needs to add a zero after 500, and there is no artificial trace of the blessing of time and space magic, but naturally spent such a long time, so it has the current quality.

Therefore, whether it was the message revealed by the lantern or the inappropriate costume of the lantern bearer, it successfully aroused his interest.

On the contrary, it was the purpose of the lantern man, and Zhao Wenrui was interested.

In his past, the lantern bearer was nothing more than an appeal to the intelligent beings living on the Sea Spear, or an interest in the Sea Spear.

And in connection with these two, at worst, it is nothing more than engaging in large-scale sacrifices, making people die tragically, or transforming, or even transforming the Sea Spear together.

In his opinion, these are not interesting, transforming a large fortress-level Lan Broken Ship into an Orchid Broken Ship with extraordinary attributes, killing people with tricks, even life is worse than death, it is nothing more than these tricks, which lack freshness for him.

The questions that puzzled him were even more interesting.

For this reason, he deliberately did not even play the trick of soul searching or anything.

It's good to cheat with all your might, and it's good to leave some puzzles and suspense or something.

Sure enough, the lantern bearer does not exist in isolation, and the value of the lantern, as well as the importance of the lantern bearer, make it impossible for the people concerned to ignore the accident.

He didn't have to wait long before the lanternman's accomplices appeared......
