Chapter 55: The Hunter and the Prey
The eyes hidden deep in the pool blinked, looking at the small figure walking slowly outside with a lantern. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Lynch seemed to realize something, and swept his dark eyes over, only to see a small empty pool of water, with the slightest ripple on the surface of the water where a green moss-like object floated.
It was an abandoned area, and judging by the opulent dwellings around it and the small garden-like setting he was in, it was once a place for the powerful to live.
The traces of the monster are already gone.
It was unlikely that the wound would heal, and the wound left by Lily as the Flame Bearer was not something that a little goblin could heal in such a short time.
"That's all there is to it. Lynch carried the lantern and leaned against the statue on the side of the pool: "Wait for me here?"
The closed eyes in the pool slowly opened, and the cat-like pupils reflected Lynch leaning against the back of the statue, motionless.
Lynch looked at the luxuriously decorated houses around him and smacked: "Why didn't anyone come to clean up and live in such a good living environment?" Although the location is a little remote, this big house must be very comfortable to live in." ”
He always had his back to the pool.
Is that eye useless for anything other than staring at me? Is it just a monitor?
This monocular is undetectable by perception, but it is as obvious as a candle in the dark in Lynch's view, and has been spotted in a random glance as early as when Lynch first came over.
Lynch threw the sword out of his hand with his backhand, piercing it into the water and still staring at him in the eyes.
The dagger began to disappear with it as it stabbed into the eye, the eye turning into a puddle of black mist and melting and diluting in the water, and a new dagger reappeared in Lynch's hand.
Lynch didn't hide it anymore, he slowly turned his body to investigate the situation around him, and as he turned, these monitor-like eyes were also exposed to Lynch's field of vision.
There was an eye watching him from the window on the second floor of the opposite house.
There is also one in the shadow between the two houses.
In the withered monster tree, hard as steel, there is an eye attached to the black leaf.
"Hey......" Lynch sighed suddenly, he was in too much of a hurry before, and he didn't bother to ask what the monster looked like, whether these houses could fit in them.
What's the use of hiding?
Except for some special monsters, the rest will not be exposed to perception like torches in the dark sooner or later?
Ignoring the other two eyes staring at him, Lynch tilted his head back into line with the eyes staring at him from the second-floor window of the room.
The moment the two came into contact, the eyes attached to the window began to tremble violently, then burst open, fell into the room, and disappeared from Lynch's vision.
Lynch was stunned for a moment, touched his eye sockets, and then slowly walked towards the luxurious house not far away.
He stopped at the door, sensing that the luxurious home was completely covered.
“...... Blocked?" It was as if there was nothing inside the house, and there was only complete darkness in Lynch's perception, as if a black hole had absorbed all the light: "A monster that was beaten away by Lily has this ability?"
Lynch knocked on the door.
I don't know if it's the reason for the decay of the age, but the thick door panel makes a crisp sound.
There was no movement.
Lynch stepped back, kicked the door, and then sank straight into one leg.
"......" Lynch quickly pulled his leg out, but felt something pull his foot.
However, its strength was not great compared to Lynch's secondary bonus, and he still managed to pull out the leg that was trapped in the door panel.
Lynch lifted his foot that had just sunk in and looked at it, and the iron sheet inlaid on the top of the boot had a few faint finger-like dents, which seemed to be the masterpiece of the monster inside.
"Careless......" Lynch muttered to himself, bending down with the lantern and poking his face into the hole he had just kicked out.
Through the light, Lynch saw half of his face pressed against the entrance of the cave on the other side of the door, and a bloodshot eye stared at Lynch.
There is no danger.
But Lynch stopped sticking his head out and watched as half of his face disappeared into the small hole in a flash.
"Is there anyone in there?" Lynch asked.
Since he couldn't find out what was going on inside, he had to make sure that although the probability of a person inside was almost impossible, he still had to make sure of the situation.
"Is there anyone in there?" Lynch asked again, and knocked on the door a few more times: "If you don't respond, it means that there is a problem, don't blame me for hurting you if it's really human." ”
As soon as the words fell, a voice suddenly came from inside the house.
A hysterical chuckle accompanied by the sound of a starving man frantically swallowing and chewing.
The sound source is very close, but it is impossible to distinguish between a man and a woman. Lynch listened quietly, the voice almost directly opposite the door.
The low laughter turned to cries and screams, and the swallowing stopped.
Lynch stepped back a bit.
The sound of vomiting suddenly sounded, and a large amount of foul-smelling flesh spurted out of the small hole just now.
Lynch was not affected by standing on the side, but he still frowned as he looked at the squirting of stinky flesh mixed with plasma: "This is not true. “
The flesh dissipated into black mist after a certain distance, and at the same time, as the flesh stopped spraying, a puff of black smoke emerged from the hole and burrowed into Lynch's body.
The black smoke was all too familiar to him.
This is the "experience point" that appears after killing a monster.
At this point, all the movement behind the door disappeared again.
Still no danger warning.
Lynch poked his face towards the hole again, this time there was nothing on the other side of the door, and there was indeed an abnormal darkness in the room, and not even the light in his hand could penetrate the darkness.
But Lynch still vaguely saw something darker moving in the distance behind the hallway, and then the thing seemed to sense Lynch's gaze, stopped his movements, and walked over to Lynch.
Lynch leaned his face closer, trying to take a closer look.
Suddenly, half of his face blocked the entrance to the hole, his bloodshot eyes bulged out, and he looked at Lynch, and a sense of malice was about to come out.
Back off. Talent spurred Lynch.
Lynch immediately stepped back, and at the same time repeated his old trick, throwing the sword in his hand towards the mouth of the cave.
There was a scream from the house.
The sword glowing slightly blue reappeared in Lynch's hand, and he held the sword and shouted at the door, "Are you still coming?"
Lynch gasped slightly, he felt that something was very wrong in this room.
The movement on the other side of the door disappeared again.
Lynch simply didn't do anything this time, swinging his sword and slashing the door in front of him.
He held up the lantern and looked into the room.
Inside, it was ordinary, with a long hallway smelling of decay, and at the end of the hallway was the hall.
But there was nothing at the door.
Lynch didn't hesitate and stepped on the sparse planks under his feet.
Lily and her companions have already set out on their way back, and Lily, as the successor of the fire, leads the way for her companions.
The two girls walked side by side, and one of them asked, "Do you think Lynch has already eliminated all the monsters?"
"It should be, after all, it's a person who has awakened the second talent, and it's not easy to clean up this kind of monster. ”
Lily walked in front and listened silently, biting her lip, although she believed in Lynch's strength, she still couldn't help but be a little worried in her heart.
"Hey! Lily!"
Not far away, Patch rushed over: "Is that the bell you rang? Did you chase away one of these monsters?"
Patch roughly described the monster as it looked.
"Yes!" Lily nodded, "What's wrong?"
"We're blocking it! It's hard to wrap around! Kenwo is dragging and he's saying you're over here! Come and help! It's not far! Hurry up!"
Several children hurriedly started running.
"Where's Lynch?" asked Lily, "Isn't Lynch with you?"
"Lynch?" Patch replied as he ran, "He's not on the same team as us after he awakens two talents, don't you know?"
"I mean- didn't you see Lynch?"
