Chapter 5: The Secret of the Monster
In the green light of the dark room, more than a dozen heads with haggard faces were displayed in front of Liuchen, looking extremely terrifying. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The pale faces were sunken, there was no trace of human color on the cheeks, the pear vortex was deep as visible bones, the face became bloody and blurred, and the two eyes protruded and fell obliquely on the side of the eye sockets, large and godless, like a dead spirit.
Dusty and sweaty, trembling at the incredible scene in front of him.
Although he was already very frightened in his heart, his eyes were frozen because of fear, and he could only continue to look at this terrible picture.
Not all of these human heads of various sizes were dead, and a few of the more conscious human heads had turned their gaze to the sudden intrusion of the dust, their eyes hollow and terrifying, their bodies all shrunk and skinny.
If you don't look closely, you can't even see the bodies of these green heads, their decayed bodies like rotten wood are inserted into a huge magic crystal basin, and these shriveled and abrupt heads are planted in this magic crystal basin like a flower arrangement.
"Huh...... Someone...... It's a living person......" A green face leaned over, his voice dazed.
"There really are ...... It's a living person!" another green-faced voice was a little more affirmative.
Liuchen opened his mouth, but he couldn't speak, fear made him like a fish in his throat, his body involuntarily retreated, but he didn't move far, he wanted to run, but his legs were already trembling and couldn't move.
"Don't run...... Don't be afraid...... Help us...... Help us ......" the green face cried out, but the voice dragged on for a long time, making people feel powerless.
Liuchen slowed down for a long time, and finally realized that although these guys were terrifying and weird, they didn't seem to have any intention of harming themselves.
What's more, judging from their form, it seems impossible to hurt themselves with such a rickety and atrophied body.
Obviously, these weirdos will wither and die as soon as they leave the large basin containing the crystals of magic power.
Liuchen calmed down a little, and then asked:
"You ...... Are you human or ghost, why are you here?"
Several of the green-faced people who remained conscious began to gossip, but their voices were too long to make out what they were talking about, and one of the greenfaces leaned into Liuchen and said with some surprise:
"You...... Why are you here...... I'm also in Zone C!"
Liuchen looked back at the other party, because the green strange face was too haggard and hideous, Liuchen didn't see who he was at first, but after looking at it for a while, he suddenly reacted, this guy in front of him turned out to be one of the orphans who disappeared a few days ago, everyone said that he was killed and thrown into the black cave because he offended Decepticon Yunyu.
At first, everyone thought that it was a false rumor, and no matter how bold Batian Yunyu was, he would not openly kill people and set fires.
But when I looked at it today, Liuchen knew that it was indeed true!
"It's you, what's going on here, how did you end up like this?"
The other party sighed and said:
"I was ...... Decepticon Yunyu's men...... Thrown here, almost died, I didn't expect it...... Saved by the monster outside, the result is ...... It's better to die...... It turned out to be such a half-dead deformity...... Please...... Help me...... Take me out......"
The other party's voices were very uncomfortable to listen to, and the other green faces were also pleading, although they couldn't fully hear their words, but Liuchen found that most of them expressed one meaning:
These deformed monsters were originally residents or orphans of Meteor Street, and most of them were killed or thrown directly into the black cave because they offended the enemy, but the monster outside saved them.
However, this terrible monster was not as kind as they imagined, and when these people were rescued, they all drank a large amount of magic essence, which made the magic in their bodies extremely abundant.
They thought it was a help from the monster, so they wanted to repay the monster, and every then the monster would wave its short arms at the helmet on its head, trying to get the rescued to help it take off the helmet.
Because these people were blessed by the monster, they were naturally willing to help the monster like the dust, so they also found the groove on the monster's helmet that resembled a magic seal.
But unexpectedly, when they plunged their fingers infused with magic into the groove and tried to break the seal, the groove suddenly became like a whirlpool, creating a terrible attraction, and in an instant, their bodies were completely sucked in.
They didn't know what happened after that, and by the time they were spit out again, their bodies had completely shrunk, leaving only their green heads, which were raised by monsters like potted plants in this pot of magic crystallization.
Whenever the monster gets hungry, it pulls out a deformed human, inserts it into the groove behind its head, and then drains its magic and power.
After listening to their descriptions, Liuchen suddenly realized.
"No wonder this monster's head is sealed, and I'm wondering how he can eat and drink without a mouth, it turns out that this monster has turned you into a transit point for his food in such a cruel way!
"That's right...... We were excited to see it...... They thought it was excited about the imminent release of bondage...... But I don't know...... It's exciting...... It's because I'm about to eat fresh food......" The dark green head who knew Liuchen sighed, and asked with some surprise, "You...... Why are you okay? Isn't it possible...... You've already defeated that monster, haven't you?"
Upon hearing this, the other strange faces all looked at Liuchen with grateful, but Liuchen scratched his head and said embarrassedly:
"I was actually almost killed by him, but I don't know why, this guy didn't finish devouring one of my arms, and he spit me out, and then he also fainted, I was about to find a magic weapon to save him, but I didn't expect to find you!"
Upon hearing Liuchen's words, these green faces were all surprised, and one of them, who looked very old, muttered:
"Ostracized...... This has happened before...... But the guy was later killed by the monster...... This happens...... It must be that your magic level is too high...... Monsters cannot devour...... According to our previous speculation...... This monster can only devour beginners like us who only have cow patterns, cloud patterns, or white elemental patterns...... And the strong man who was rejected last time was just a wolf pattern...... Your repulsion can make it faint...... You must be stronger, right?"
Liuchen's face was embarrassed, and he pulled the strip of cloth tied to his arm downward, revealing his complete blue cow pattern, and at the same time, he was even more disappointed in his heart, he had drunk so much magic essence before, and if he was a normal person, I am afraid that he could at least improve two color levels, but he still did not change.
"You see, I'm also a beginner demon warrior with blue cow patterns, and I'm not a strong person at all!"
"Huh...... That's weird...... Then why is he ostracized......"
"yes...... Is there something unusual about him......"
"That's right...... That's right...... Is there anything different about your body than others?"
The green-faced people were talking, and Liuchen was poked in the sore spot, and with a wry smile, he pulled the broken suit down, revealing his shoulders.
"Huh...... It's different, this is what makes me different from ordinary people, and it is precisely because I have two magic lines on my body at the same time that I have been struggling in this world like a weak chicken for so many years!"
However, at the moment when Liuchen exposed his shoulders, not only these green faces, but even Liuchen himself was so surprised that he couldn't speak, and he couldn't believe his eyes.
It turned out that the white moire on his shoulder, which had never been upgraded, didn't know when, and directly jumped into a green star pattern.
Oh my God, am I dazzled?
Liuchen thought that the lines on his shoulders were a problem with the light, but he soon saw clearly that the clear star patterns on his shoulders were genuine!
Liuchen was so excited that he couldn't help jumping up, although the beast pattern of the demon warrior needs to improve the strength and magic power of the flesh at the same time to break through the magic pattern level, and the magic pattern level of the magician only needs to simply absorb the magic power to increase the level, but in comparison, the collection of magic power is very difficult in Meteor Street, which makes Meteor Street relatively still a region where demon warriors are rampant, for this kind of star pattern magician, it is simply a very luxurious existence.
"This ...... I can't believe that I have advanced before I know it!"
"That's right...... Because your Magic Pattern level is too high...... That's why the monster passed out...... But don't get too happy...... That monster might even come back to life...... Hurry up and get out of here now...... Then go to the outside world for help...... You're our only hope now......" a greenface pleaded.
"That's right...... That's right...... But you can kill that monster first...... Before it wakes up...... ...... to prevent future troubles"
"Right...... That's right...... Kill it......"
"Kill it...... Kill it......"
Soon, the green-faced cries coalesced, and they all wanted to kill the ugly monster that had killed them for so long, but Flowing Dust still hesitated.
In any case, this monster has always been his savior, and it is precisely because of this monster that Liuchen has been blessed with a blessing in disguise to increase the level of the magic pattern, so even if it does a lot of evil, Liuchen still can't bear to do it.
"Don't worry, I'll find a way to get out now, and then find someone to come back to save you!" Liuchen swore an oath.
"You...... Do you want that monster to keep alive...... He did many evils...... It's long overdue......
"yes...... Before you go...... Or kill it quickly and put ......"
Many green faces were still pleading, but Liuchen had made up his mind, knowing that he couldn't do anything to his savior, so he picked up the fluorescent stone on the ground and turned to leave the dark room.
He felt his heart pounding, and he didn't know if his excitement at this time was due to the increase in rank, or because of the shock of this change. But he knew very well that although he had reached the level of a magician with green star stripes, he had not yet learned any magic, so the magic in his body was still a pool of stagnant water.
Thinking of this, Liuchen hurried up and continued to search in other dark rooms, hoping to find something that could help him escape from the black hole.
In the surrounding dark rooms, there are some ancient armor weapons and a wealth of magical materials, including the remains of magic left over from a large number of magic casts. Drift Dust searched the dark chamber in the faint light, hoping to find objects like flying wings or buoyancy balls, but he couldn't find them for a long time.
Just when he was at a loss, he suddenly found an ancient magic book with a strange shape, this magic book was placed on a shelf of magic materials, the location was a little remote, and it seemed a little out of place with the other things on the shelf, although it looked inconspicuous, its gem-encrusted spine still brought it into the field of vision of the flowing dust.
Flowing Dust felt a little curious, and at the same time felt that he had just advanced to the Green Star Pattern Mage, and he just needed to learn some spells, and this book might be able to help him.
His hand reached for the ancient magic book......
