Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Darkness of the Environment
As the environment darkens, some kind of restless and anxious fluctuations begin to ripple through the space.
Perkins, John, and Nerry are warriors and are relatively poor in perception, but Leo, Vicky, and Sanders are keenly aware of the same.
Leo couldn't tell what was going on, so he looked at the Encyclopedia of Humanoids wiki.
Unexpectedly, Wiki was also at a loss and said, "I don't know what's going on, but I have a very bad premonition." ”
"Me too, it's uncomfortable. Sanders interjected.
Leo was about to say something when a sudden feeling of dizziness hit him, almost making him unable to stand.
The professor's voice then sounded in his consciousness: "Warning! The body has lost too much blood, please treat the wound as much as possible, and supplement the food rich in iron and protein, if the condition continues to deteriorate, please take blood transfusion measures, after testing, the body is bloody type A." ”
Leo then remembered that he was still being sucked by Lulu's blood, so he said to the "girl" in a calm tone: "That's it, if it continues, I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it." ”
Lulu's face couldn't help but show disappointment, but she honestly withdrew her teeth from Leo's skin, told him to take his hand away, and stood up from the ground.
Noticing that the other party's complexion was much more ruddy, and the broken arm had been connected on its own, Leo still felt quite surprised even if he had heard that the blood clan's recovery power was strong.
After a little more observation, Leo asked, "How are you feeling now?"
"I'm fine. Lulu replied obediently, completely without the cold and indifferent she had before, and looked at Perkins's face full of disbelief.
At this moment, the surrounding environment is getting darker and darker, and it is becoming more and more unsettling.
Perkins looked around and asked, "What now? Am I still going to pursue?"
Instead of answering, Leo asked, "How sure are you that you've found them?"
Perkins smiled confidently: "There has been contact just now, and they fled in a hurry. Now I'm 100% sure I'll be able to find them. ”
Leo nodded and analyzed: "The current situation is a bit strange, we should find a safe place first and watch the changes." But if you let those guys go back to recuperate, the battle just now would be in vain, so I thought, Perkins, you lurk over alone, waiting for the opportunity to act, and we settle down first. Wait until the situation is clear before making a decision. ”
"But where would it be safer, back to where it was?" Sanders asked.
"No, it's too late, I think it's better there. Leo raised his hand and pointed to a looming building in the distance.
The building was large and looked oddly shaped, but the overall structure was somewhat similar to that of the Colosseum in a previous country. If he hadn't just made a charge and turned two streets, Leo might not have noticed its existence yet.
The wiki took a closer look. Blinking his eyes, he said, "That's ...... Blood Arena?"
"I think it's a lot like that. Leo said.
Several people also thought the same, but they didn't expect that the Blood Arena, which had been looking for a long time, would be because of the enemy. And I found it unexpectedly.
Vicky looked at the building in the distance and wondered, "It seems too conspicuous there, I'm afraid it won't be too safe, right?"
Leo replied confidently, "Of course, we won't go directly into it, but choose a building next to it first." Just observe the situation around you, and wait until you are sure that it is safe to do so, and then look for opportunities to enter it. ”
Parkinson nodded frequently: "It makes sense." So have you chosen the right place?"
"Not yet, but I'll choose the tallest building around the arena so we can easily observe. Leo replied, then added, "If you agree with me, you can go directly to the tallest building over there and look for us later." ”
Perkins said without hesitation: "I will listen to your arrangement. ”
Sensing the other party's obedient attitude, Leo didn't have time to be humble, the current situation, he really needs to be the backbone of his own heart, so he directly arranged: "Okay, then it's decided, let's go over there first, you go to chase the guys just now, but please be sure to take your own safety as the first premise, launch an attack when you have the opportunity, and strive to capture a prisoner, if not, you must also retreat decisively, and then join us as much as possible." ”
Hearing him say this, Perkins was slightly moved in his heart, and soon it was fleeting: "Okay, then I'll go." ”
At this time, Lulu suddenly said, "Wait, I'll go with you." ”
Perkins was startled, Lulu's impulsive behavior was still fresh in his mind, and he hurriedly shook his head and said, "Don't, I'll go by myself." Don't worry, even if there is danger, if I want to leave, they won't be able to keep it. ”
"Maybe you weren't ...... just now Hum. Lulu didn't finish, but saved some face for Perkins, and then looked at Leo and said, "You decide, let me go." ”
Leo groaned slightly, and quickly replied, "I think Lulu is fine, it's better for the two of you to go together, it's better to take care of each other, it's safer than being alone." But Lulu, don't be brutal again, we can't afford to lose anything now, and my blood won't be enough to make you recover again. ”
The girl gave Leo a serious look, and even pursed her lips to show a smile, before replying, "Okay." ”
............
The environment had become pitch black, and it was almost impossible to see five fingers, but the few people in a five-story building did not dare to make any light for fear of being discovered by unknown enemies.
In the dark, Leo observes the situation below the building and in the arena not far away through his night vision eyes, but it seems that some force affects the night vision of his eyes, so that he can only barely make out some vague effects.
Half an hour had passed, and everything seemed to be normal, and the entire ruins were even more silent and quiet like a dead realm, but Perkins still showed no sign of returning, which made Leo inevitably start to worry a little. Fortunately, he knew that Parkinson's and Lulu both had natural night vision, and should not be affected by anything, which was a great advantage in this environment.
Several people had already eaten, and the female warrior Nerry sat quietly, as if she was asleep, but John frowned, wanting to continue to scrape the building, but it didn't seem appropriate now, so he didn't speak.
It was really boring, and Sanders asked in a very low voice, "Why did it suddenly become like this?
Wiki replied: "According to what I know, it has been confirmed by predecessors that the shadow realm is actually a backward projection plane of the main material plane, it does not have the sun and moon itself, and the bright light comes from the reflection of the main material plane, so as long as there is light in the main material realm, there should be no darkness here." ”
Sanders thought for a moment and asked again, "That means that there is no light in the main material realm now?"
Wiki denied: "This is simply impossible, the main physical realm is so big, it is dark in one area, and it is dawning in another, there will definitely be no situation where there is no light, and even a solar eclipse is impossible." ”
This answer made Sanders more and more confused: "So what's going on now?"
"I don't know, but I do have some guesses. In the dark, the wiki couldn't see the expressions of the others, and regardless of whether they were interested or not, he continued to himself: "Some beings who are too powerful for us to understand can use their supernatural realm abilities to influence the environment of a certain region, and maybe this place is being affected now. ”
"Something so powerful that we can't understand it......" Sanders hesitated, but said nevertheless, "What do you mean...... Gods?"
Vicky replied, "Not just the gods, but some of the more powerful demigods, the High Lords of the Abyss and Hell, the Elemental Lords, the primeval dragons, and some ancient creatures that have lived for thousands of years may have this ability. ”
Hearing this, Sanders couldn't help but sweat a little: "Uh...... If you want to crush us, it's a hundred times easier than crushing an ant, so we're ...... now."
Vicky smiled lightly: "Hehe, you think too much, those forces that exist have exceeded the limits of the plane, and they have to be more cautious than us in every move, and they will stay in their own plane most of the time, and they will not make any moves, so as not to be found by hostile forces." ”
Sanders immediately dissatisfied: "What do you think too much, obviously you are sensational here, so what's the point of saying this?"
Vicky was about to explain something more when Leo's voice suddenly came: "Don't talk yet, someone is coming." ”
"Is Perkins back?" asked Vikki hurriedly.
"I can't see it clearly, maybe it's him, maybe it's not. Leo looked at it carefully, but it was still only a very vague effect, and he couldn't even see it clearly, so he had no choice but to say: "You wait here, I'll go down and take a look, be on guard, and attack immediately if something is abnormal." ”
"Click-click ”
There was a rhythmic knock on the door, and Leo let out a sigh of relief, which was the code that Perkins had agreed with himself.
When I opened the door, the person at the door was indeed Perkins with a smile on his face.
Seeing that the other party showed no signs of injury, Leo was completely relieved, but before he could ask why Lulu was missing, his eyes widened again.
The environment was pitch black, but under the effect of the glasses, he could still see the situation clearly within a few meters, and to his surprise, there was another person behind Parkinson, who was actually a middle-aged mage who had just fought fiercely half an hour ago......!
