The huge size of the spider soul beast in front of him undoubtedly gave Lu Yu a strong sense of oppression, and it was inevitable that he would feel scared or nervous when stared at by such a big monster, but Lu Yu had not messed up because of this, but he just felt a sense of disobedience, as if he had forgotten something.

The current situation is a little bad, although I want to run away now, but it's not good to leave Su Yi alone. Lu Yu secretly thought in his heart, thinking that he should not directly smash Su Yi to death, after all, he could still feel Su Yi's faint breath now.

"Roaring ——!"

Just as Lu Yu's brain was running rapidly, making trade-offs, he was stunned for a moment, and was preempted by the soul beast. The huge soul beast rushed straight in the direction of Lu Yu, Lu Yu dodged to the side, but was flicked by the soul beast, and flew dozens of meters away with his side body, during which it smashed several stone walls, and was finally firmly embedded in the wall of a crumbling earthen house.

"Hmm......" Lu Yu's head was a little dizzy, and he could feel the discomfort coming from all over his body, and the back of his head was more like a warm current slowly flowing down, he struggled to break free from the wall, and barely stood firm by holding on to the wall.

"It seems that it's because of the physique of the intermediary, so I can't die after taking such a beating, should I be happy or sad?" Although his whole body hurt and his feet were a little unable to use his strength, he still quickly adjusted his state and standing posture to avoid being attacked by soul beasts again, "If I eat it again, I will definitely not be able to stand it." ”

Two minutes passed, and Lu Yu was on guard for a while, but the soul beast that was about thirty meters away from him didn't move at all, just staring at this side.

"Huh?" Lu Yu felt a little strange, as if he had thought of something, but he was not sure, after all, it was difficult to determine whether this soul beast was intelligent enough, and now it was very likely that it had set a trap, waiting for the prey to take the bait.

"Well, I really want to slip away like that." Lu Yu was now covered in injuries, and after the violent impact just now, his head was still a little dizzy, but he finally knew why he felt a little disobedient, and after such a collision, it reminded him of everything.

"Why haven't we been teleported to the outside of the ruins when the time is up?"

In fact, on the way here, Lu Yu had already calculated, because considering that there might be a battle, Su Yi was injured in the previous battle, so on the way over, in order to save physical strength, they did not walk very fast, but walked at an ordinary speed, Lu Yu also took this into account, so he chose to come over to take a look at the soul beast, because while roughly seeing the soul beast, the time to explore the ruins should almost be over.

And just now, just now, the moment before they met the soul beast, Lu Yu also glanced at his watch, there was still a minute before the time of teleportation and departure, but now he glanced at his watch again, it was already a few minutes beyond the scheduled time, and their current situation still did not change.

"Have we been deceived by the gatekeepers?" But when you think about it, this doesn't work, after all, the man keeps talking about the rules, and the current situation, unless someone didn't intend to let them get out of here alive in the first place.

It stands to reason that he doesn't feel worried, after all, he will always wake up from a dream, but all the conflicts that occur here, as well as the spatial texture, etc., make him feel less like a dream, so he has been more careful since he entered the ruins than when he arrived at Mirror Lake, but he didn't expect that such an uncontrollable accident would happen now: the invincible Su Yi was frozen and fell, he had no ability, and sooner or later he was shot to death by the big spider with his bare hands. Compared to the previous situation, I am too passive.

The soul beast not far away still didn't move, Lu Yu approached cautiously, he wanted to verify the conjecture in his heart, because if the conjecture was correct, although the danger was a bit great, there was still a slight possibility of success.

As the distance continued to shorten, when it was only about ten meters away from the soul beast, the soul beast went crazy and wanted to rush towards Lu Yu again, Lu Yu subconsciously ran back, but after running a few steps and turning around, he found that the soul beast seemed to be blocked by a barrier, and could no longer continue to approach him, so he could only keep struggling.

"Whew...... Really. "This trip is a big gain for Lu Yu, one of which is that it proves that the intelligence of this soul beast is about the same as that of a mad beast, and the danger is very high, but at the same time, it is also very easy to solve. The second is that there is indeed something like a barrier that blocks the soul beast and prevents it from moving forward.

"If it weren't for a barrier, this monster would have rushed over and tore me apart while I was stuck to the wall." Lu Yu said, and then moved closer to the soul beast, suddenly, the big spider stopped running forward, it can be seen that there is a continuous influx of air around him, and the cold air rises, and after it is ready, it suddenly blows a frost wind towards Lu Yu, and Lu Yu hurriedly hides behind a stone around him.

"Forget it has this trick."

At this time, Lu Yu already had a partial understanding of the soul beast in front of him, and the next main problem was how to plan well to be able to rescue Su Yi from under that mound with minimal or no loss.

Also available is the "strengthened" body. ”

For Lu Yu, it was originally possible to avoid the tail flick of the soul beast, after all, as far as that soul beast is concerned, the huge cost of the body will still have some impact on his flexibility after all, but at that time, Lu Yu was unable to dodge with all his strength because of his distraction.

"Then let's make a battle plan first......" Lu Yu was thinking, he didn't notice a figure slowly leaning over behind him, and when he noticed it, he was surprised that a "dead corpse" had slipped behind him.

"Huh?" Lu Yu didn't react at once.

"Goh?" The "dead corpse" was puzzled by Lu Yu's reaction.

The "dead corpse" in front of him did not attack Lu Yu, but looked at the person who did not scream and flee immediately with some curiosity.

"Are you...... An intermediary who has acquired the ability, right? ”

“……”

Lu Yu had just been injured because he was too concentrated, so he didn't notice anything when the "dead corpse" approached, until he came back to his senses, and when the "dead corpse" stopped behind him for a while, he found that an energy body that felt very similar to Su Yi but was not completely similar seemed to be nearby, and when he looked back, he found that it was a "dead corpse".

It's just that on the way here, Lu Yu noticed that within a certain range of entering this side, not a single dead corpse was missing, so it was abnormal for a dead body to appear here. Based on all of the above, Lu Yu concluded that the person in front of him should also be an intermediary, but he didn't know whether he was an enemy or a friend.

Lu Yu's right foot moved back a little, thinking that if the other party suddenly attacked, then he would first use his right foot to raise sand to disturb its vision, and then take the opportunity to slip away, as for Su Yi...... Well, it seems that there is only one chance to save him again.

The "dead corpse" in front of him saw that Lu Yu didn't react for a long time, and began to be a little irritable, after all, the intention was to scare this person away, but this person didn't move, and instead threw a question to it.

"Hey, if you don't leave, you're going to be eaten by that spider later."

Lu Yu, who didn't show much surprise when he saw the dead corpse standing behind him just now, was shocked in his heart at this time, not only because this dead corpse could actually communicate with people normally, but also because the voice of such a shriveled and crumbling skeleton was still a crisp female voice.

Seeing Lu Yu look a little surprised, the "dead corpse" said "It's really troublesome", took off the mask from his face, and then his appearance began to change slowly, from the original half-dead walking dead to the appearance of a young girl, the appearance looks similar to Lu Yu's age, about 16 years old, the fair-skinned girl has a pair of indifferent ice blue eyes on her face, long golden hair, wearing a blue and white hoodie, unlike Lu Yu, her body is not contaminated with much dust, very clean.

"I thought her ability was a disguise, but it turned out to be because of that mask." Lu Yu thought, but still didn't let down his guard just because the other party was a girl.

"Take it easy, I don't mean it, I found this one in a ruin, able to confuse the smell and disguise it like the dead bodies." Seeing that Lu Yu had been staring at the mask in her hand, she explained, "So if it's okay, please stay away from here, that spider is a little dangerous." ”

Seeing that she didn't seem to be hostile, Lu Yu also relaxed his vigilance a little and put his hand in his pocket.

"Thanks for the reminder, but I can't leave right now."

"Why?"

"I have a friend buried under that clod of dirt, and I have to find a way to get him out."

"You're covered in bruises, what else can you do?"

"Whether you can do it or not, you will only know if you have tried it, and besides, I have a plan now, but ......" Lu Yu's voice did not fall, he took out a soul core from his pocket and threw it over.

"Huh?" The blonde girl caught the glowing crystal, and then watched as the glowing crystal dimmed into her hand, barely shining, and she could feel the energy flowing from that small stone into her body.

"It's just that one more person is needed, and now that you have accepted that soul core, you have promised to help, right?"

"Huh?" The girl was a little surprised, she didn't expect the other party to make such a move, "Aren't you afraid that I will take this soul core, and at the same time I am unwilling to help, and at the same time I will solve you, a dying person, with my backhand?" ”

"In this case, no matter how you say it, the person who can kindly warn others of the danger here will not be so ruthless."

"Well, tell me what you want to do first." The girl didn't refute much, and followed Lu Yu's words and asked.

"It's just, ahem...... Can you please contain that soul beast first? ”

"Me?"

"Yes." Lu Yu nodded.

Originally, Lu Yu planned to find the other boundary of the barrier while using the cover of the house, and after luring the soul beast to the other side of the border, he would escape out of the sight of the soul beast, so that judging from the performance of this soul beast just now, he would always be guarding there, and he could move quietly through the cover of the building, and finally achieve the goal of rescuing Su Yi.

Although this plan is good, the problem is that I don't know if there is a barrier on only this side, or if there is a barrier in a certain area.

But just when Lu Yu was entangled, the appearance of this girl made him make up his mind. At first, he didn't want to use the girl's help, but after seeing the girl's situation, he found a point, that is, normally, it is almost impossible for an ordinary intermediary to walk freely in this place unharmed, even if she has that mask that can be disguised, so what about before getting that mask? Not to mention the feeling of that special energy in her. Therefore, Lu Yu bet on the trace of energy he felt about her that was very similar to Su Yi, bet that she was an intermediary with special abilities, and the rest was whether she could nod and agree to help.

"This ......" The girl hesitated for a moment, her expression was a little tangled, but she still agreed to Lu Yu's request, "Okay." ”

"Great, thank you very much, my name is Lu Yu, may I ask what your name is?"

"Ellie Fest, just call me Ellie."

"In general, I don't ask Ellie to take down that soul beast, as long as you can contain it for three minutes, three minutes is enough, and I can dig my friend out of that mound."

She nodded.

"By the way, Ellie, what are your abilities?"

"Able to control the flames with ease." Ellie said, raising her hand, and a flame appeared out of thin air in her palm.

After a while, the two of them roughly discussed the plan, and on the side of the barrier, the soul beast saw that the stone did not move for a long time, but did not leave, but patiently guarded there.

Then, Lu Yu suddenly rushed out from behind the stones, the soul beast was aware of it, and when he focused his eyes on Lu Yu, he rushed into the range of the barrier with all his might, seeing Lu Yu approaching, the soul beast also began to release the frost wind towards Lu Yu, trying to freeze Lu Yu, but fortunately, after Lu Yu experienced the frost wind twice, he found that as long as the soul beast used the frost wind, although the effect was very good, the action would become a little sluggish, so the speed of the frost wind sweeping could never keep up with Lu Yu's full movement speed, which was for this reason, The first time this soul beast attacked Su Yi and Lu Yu, it chose to use it as a cover behind the house.

While Lu Yu dodged the frost wind, he guided the soul beast to move in a direction away from the mound, while Ellie followed from a distance, waiting for the opportunity.

When he led the soul beast to an area with many houses, Lu Yu dodged into an alleyway, and the soul beast also continued to rush in the direction of that alley, and at this time, a burning sensation from the tail attracted the attention of the soul beast.

"Roar——!!!

"Hunk, meet again."

Ellie threw another fireball, and the flame continued to burn on the soul beast's back, even burning the layer of frost covered by its surface, and the soul beast was immediately attracted to Ellie, turned around, and prepared to attack her.

On the other side, Lu Yu ran forward along the alley after rushing into the alley, and after leaving the alley, he bypassed the place where Ellie and the spider were fighting, and ran in the direction where Su Yi was buried.

But after arriving nearby, Lu Yu was a little confused, because when he passed by just now, he needed to move with the help of cover to slow down the speed of the soul beast to a greater extent, but he didn't expect that after the soul beast destroyed the surrounding buildings, more than one earthen house would be shattered to form a mound, and if you want to check each mound, it may be too late.

At this time, Lu Yu noticed a broken iron sword stuck diagonally on a mound of earth in the distance, and there were some scorched marks on the hilt.

"It's ...... Ellie's stay? ”

When Lu Yu was making a plan just now, he gave Ellie a rough indication of which mound buried Su Yi was, and Ellie should have taken into account that the soul beast would make a mess around when it passed through the building, causing Lu Yu to not be able to recognize it, so he left a mark on Lu Yu when he passed by, so as not to delay him by remembering wrongly.

Lu Yu quickly ran towards the mound with the sword inserted, moving the clods of soil to the side one by one, and when he moved about twenty pieces, he felt a chill seeping out of the cracks in the mound.

"It should be down there."

So Lu Yu sped up again, until a "perfect" Su Yi ice sculpture appeared in front of him, and then Lu Yu dragged the entire ice sculpture out from under the mound and stood on the ground.

"It's kind of a cold hand."

From the outside, you can't tell the condition of the people in the ice sculpture, after all, this is a layer of ice about 6cm thick, although the ice has been melting since it was frozen just now, but after all, it has not had much effect. Lu Yu picked up his fist and was about to try to smash the ice on the surface, but when he punched down, he felt like he was smashing against a solid steel plate.

"Damn, why is this thing so hard?" After trying a few more times, he found that it still didn't work, so Lu Yu planned to change the method: drag the ice sculpture out of the barrier first, and then let her melt the ice when Ellie came back.

So Lu Yu moved with difficulty holding the ice sculpture, and when he was about to reach the barrier, he found that he could come over, but the ice sculpture couldn't pass at all.

"What's the situation, shouldn't only soul beasts not be able to get through?" Just when Lu Yu was puzzled, a blonde figure hurried from not far away, and under her background, the huge soul beast that followed behind looked very slow and clumsy.

"It's been three minutes, why haven't you gone out yet, the soul beast will be back soon." Ellie looked a little anxious.

"It seems that because of the ice, he can't get out of the barrier." Lu Yu replied.

"What? Let me try. Ellie tried to drag the ice sculpture with Lu Yu, and found that as soon as she touched the boundary of the barrier, the ice sculpture did not move.

"Get out of the way, I'll try to melt it." Ellie scorched the ice sculpture with a burst of flames, and the effect was obvious, the ice continued to melt under the high temperature, but the melting speed was extremely slow, and the soul beast was less than thirty meters away from them.

"I'll go and hold it down first." As he spoke, Lu Yu rushed towards the soul beast.

"Eh, wait ......" Before Ellie could finish speaking, Lu Yu rushed out.

When he came to the soul beast, Lu Yu saw that the soul beast at this time no longer had the previous layer of frost on the surface of its body, but at the same time, the barbs that had been under the frost before were all expanded and erect, and if you looked closely, you could also find that there were obvious burnt marks on the back of the soul beast.

Looking at Lu Yu who was rushing towards it, the soul beast raised its right pincer and smashed it towards Lu Yu, Lu Yu dodged to the side while thinking about observing whether the soul beast had any weaknesses.

Since Lu Yu was in a circle around the soul beast, the soul beast did not raise its right pincer after smashing it, but let the pincers stir on the ground, and for a while the sand and dust were everywhere, making it difficult for Lu Yu to see the surrounding situation clearly, and he had to judge the situation according to the approximate location of the soul beast in his impression and the abnormal movements around him.

"It's coming!"

A frosty wind hit from the left, and Lu Yu stepped back, but he felt a hard shell like a stone on his back.

"Oops......!"

The soul beast lifted its left pincer in an instant, and Lu Yu's whole person immediately flew out of the smoke and dust, and smashed heavily into the stone pile.

On the other side, Ellie completed the thawing of Su Yi, Su Yi was not unconscious, but his eyes gradually turned from black to light red.

"Are you alright?" Ellie asked.

Su Yi did not answer.

At this time, the sound of Lu Yu landing was heard not far away.

"Lu Yu!" Ellie wanted to help, but a blue figure suddenly passed in front of her.

Lu Yu's consciousness was a little blurred, he could only vaguely hear as if someone was calling him, the air around him flowed forward, and when the soul beast was about to use the frost wind again, Lu Yu saw a blue-haired boy standing in front of him.

"Su Yi?"

The blue-haired boy didn't respond, and used his body to block the frost wind of the soul beast, but this time, he was not frozen by the soul beast again.

He slowly raised his right hand, and black water continued to emerge from his palm, accumulating around, and after a while, a huge liquid bead formed.

"Devour!"

The water sources around Su Yi instantly rushed to the soul beast, covering the surface of the soul beast's shell, and the soul beast struggled to get rid of the water layer attached to its surface, but to no avail. The black water on its surface gnawed at its shell little by little, then the soul body, the soul core, and after a while, a spirit-level soul beast disappeared out of thin air, leaving only a puddle of black water on the ground, and dissipated water vapor. Su Yi summoned the black water back to his body, and then slowly turned around, the redness in his eyes had turned blood-red.

When Lu Yu saw Su Yi, his eyes were blood-red and full of anger, but he no longer had the strength to get up and struggle, nor did he have the strength to say anything more. Just as Su Yi raised his hand and was about to let the water blade around him stab Lu Yu, the scene changed abruptly, and Lu Yu was transferred to a dark and silent space, with countless bright spots flashing around.
