Mistbound Chronicles: Lumian's Legacy Novel Chapter 91

Lumian dances to attract strange creatures. The purpose is to sneak to a closer place through "stealth", observe the activity patterns and daily performance of the fire monsters, and collect enough intelligence for subsequent hunting.

In just thirty or forty seconds, he used the ancient Hermes language to allow the mouthparts monster to possess him again.

The strong sense of hunger swept over him, and Lumian opened his mouth uncontrollably, as if he had a mouthpart with teeth arranged in a swirling shape.

He hurriedly suppressed the bloodthirsty and crazy thoughts that filled his body, took out a small biscuit and cut square cheese, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed and swallowed.

At the same time, he amplified the invisible instinct of the mouthparts monster and disappeared in place.

After slightly suppressing the feeling of hunger, Lumian tried his best to close his mouth to prevent the smell of crackers and cheese from escaping.

Immediately afterwards, he directly followed the traces of the flame monster along the edge of the road.

Soon, Lumian saw the monster that was charred and burning everywhere.

It is setting up a new trap in the clearing last time.

You've become a monster and you're still so dedicated? Lumian mocked silently.

Of course, he knew very well that this was actually a manifestation of the monster acting on instinct.

Lumian did not dare to get too close and stopped next to a broken wall at the edge of the clearing.

He looked at the flame monster for a few seconds, then looked back at the path he came from, and found that although his footprints were very shallow and inconspicuous, and were hidden in places where they were not easily found, they still existed.

Looking down at his current location, Lumian had some ideas.

He paid close attention to the monster's movements, and when he picked up a larger stone and threw it to the side, he immediately pressed the broken wall with his right hand, jumped up, and landed firmly on the top of the wall.

boom! Lumian's movement was perfectly covered up by the sound of the stone hitting the ground.

After changing the observation location, Lumian felt relieved. While paying attention to the consumption of his own spirituality, he looked at the flame monster seriously.

He found that the traps laid by the flame monster this time were not of the type that were very hidden and difficult to detect, and they did not target loopholes in thinking or behavioral inertia of the target. They were simple and did not cover themselves up.

The simplest example: The flame monster pulled a rope on the other side of the open space, between two collapsed buildings, a little above the ankle.

Any human or monster with normal vision can detect this trap.

Lumian didn't quite understand the purpose of this at first, but after bringing himself in, he gradually discovered its possible meaning:

The purpose of this type of trap is not to directly harm or trap the enemy, but to create an occasion more suitable for hunters.

In a fierce battle, you are not good at observing the environment and paying attention to the targets around you. You need to be constantly distracted to consider the various restrictions here. Sometimes you have to reduce your speed or change your posture to jump over traps. The characteristic of "Hunter" is that you can jump over traps at any time. Pay attention to your surroundings and make the most of your environment.

In this way, the strength of both sides waxes and wanes.

In Aurore's terms, Yangmou... Lumian nodded with understanding.

At this moment, he felt that the flame monster was like a stern teacher, imparting certain experiences about "hunters" to him in this way.

Almost at the same time, he remembered the content in a certain book of Aurore: Those who steal from the master will be beaten to death!

After a while, the flame monster stopped and looked around instinctively with its blackened face.

Then, with the flames coming out of its body, it walked towards the edge of the clearing near Lumian's side.

"Follow the fixed route and go to the next place?" Lumian thought to himself thoughtfully and excitedly.

For hunters, knowing the movements of their prey is extremely valuable.

Most traps are buried along these types of routes!

The flame monster kept looking around and checking the ground as it walked, acting very vigilant.

This made Lumian frown, feeling that high-sequence "hunters" were really difficult to deal with.

The people or things that are most restrained by extraordinary people are often people or things of higher order on the same path, even if they are only one or two orders higher.

I am better at what you are good at than you, and what I have may not be possible for you!

If he didn't have "Dancer" related abilities and obtained the "Corrupted Mercury" short knife, Lumian would not dare to take advantage of this flame monster.

Seven or eight seconds later, the flame monster arrived at the edge of the clearing, about five or six meters away from the broken wall.

Just like before, the flame monster's eyes instinctively turned here.

Its gaze then paused, as if looking at the footprints that someone suspected of standing on the edge of the broken wall.

Thump, thump, Lumian's heartbeat accelerated a little involuntarily.

He wasn't ready to hunt the fire monster just yet.

Not to mention that there was a distance of five or six meters between the two sides, but the fact that "Corrupted Mercury" had not yet stored the fate that could be exchanged meant that Lumian had no confidence in killing the opponent.

Now that a battle is about to break out, he who has no time to half-activate the black thorn symbol is the one being hunted!

Lumian struggled to control his heartbeat and breathing, and placed his right hand on the black cloth strips wrapped around the surface of the "Corrupted Mercury" blade, ready to tear them off at any time.

Within the current distance, he jumped hard and had a chance to bully the flame monster and avoid the long-range battle where the gap between the two sides was the largest.

Two or three seconds passed as if time was about to freeze. The flame monster withdrew its sight and continued to move forward.

It appeared that no Lumian footprints had been found.

After walking more than ten meters, the flame monster suddenly turned around.

The clumps of flames emerging from its body condensed instantly and turned into a huge, blazing white fireball.

The fireball was like a cannonball, blasting towards the edge of the broken wall where Lumian was standing.

Lumian, who was squatting on the wall, didn't think anything. Following his instinct, he jumped directly to the other side of the broken wall, where the flame monster had just laid the trap.

Boom!

The fire wave exploded, and the already shaky wall collapsed on the spot.

After landing, Lumine rolled twice in succession, avoiding the falling stone bricks and the shock wave mixed with fire.

Immediately afterwards, he jumped up, maintaining the "invisible" state, passing through various traps left by the flame monster, and ran towards the other exit of the clearing.

The flame monster failed to spot the enemy immediately, so he had to focus on looking for traces.

Finally, it saw a series of tiny footprints.

At this time, Lumian had already reached the rope between the two collapsed buildings, jumped over easily, and escaped from the open space.

Running all the way back to a natural trap, he completely got rid of the flame monster.

After reviewing what happened just now, Lumian, who had already released his "invisibility" state, cursed bitterly:

"So treacherous, so treacherous!

"The heads of these monsters are better than Pence's." After discovering my footprints, considering that the distance between the two parties was too close and they were likely to be counterattacked, they pretended not to see anything and naturally pulled away. distance! "

While Lumian was cursing angrily, he felt like he had learned something more.

Of course, this approach also has obvious drawbacks:

The distance gave Lumian room to escape.

In addition, he is still invisible, making the fire monster unable to

It was a high probability to lock onto his traces as soon as possible and successfully escape from that area.

After taking a breath and regaining some of his energy, Lumian muttered while eating crackers and cheese:

"Based on the situation just now, as long as I arrange it properly and stab the guy, it is entirely possible that I will have the opportunity to rely on 'invisibility' to distance myself, move to a farther place, and wait for the exchange of fate to be completed.

When launching an attack, the "invisible" state will be released, but Lumian can be used again as long as the contact is broken.

This was his biggest gain from this reconnaissance.

At the same time, he also discovered a problem:

"As a hunter, I don't even bring water when I go hunting in the mountains!

"I'm so thirsty!"

Whether it’s cheese or biscuits, you need to drink water to mix them.

The dried meat Lumian wanted to make later also fell into this category.

After resting for a while, he decided to hunt the "Noodle Man", peel off part of its bad fate, and store it in "Corrupted Mercury" so that it would no longer have the ability to fight back when encountering emergencies like before.

The fate of the puppet also belongs to "fallen mercury" and can be exchanged, but Lumian is not a "knife wielder" and cannot exchange his own fate for the fate of others. Otherwise, he would be very happy Send the bombs on you away.

About half an hour later, Lumian found the "Noodle Man" whose limbs and facial features were a mess.

Having performed the sacrificial dance in advance, he walked over openly and saw the "noodle man" crawling down and lying on the ground as expected.

"Very well-behaved..." Lumian praised.

He was holding the iron-black ax in his right hand, and his left palm was holding the "Fallen Mercury" with its silver-black blade exposed.

After holding this evil dagger for a long time, Lumian discovered that even if there is no direct flesh-to-flesh contact, he will gradually withstand a little bit of pollution emitted by it. For most extraordinary people, this may slowly induce There were signs of losing control, but Lumian had long been used to it and had a certain amount of resistance.

After looking at the trembling "Noodle Man" for a few seconds, Lumian withdrew his gaze from its mouth on its forehead and sighed:

"According to Aurore, in your state, death equals liberation. The sooner you die, the sooner you will be happy."

As he spoke, he squatted down on one knee and thrust the silver-black dagger into the back of the "Noodle Man's" neck, sinking it deeply.

"Noodle Man" trembled even more, but did not make any resistance or struggle.

Lumian then retracted his left hand, grasped the handle of the iron-black ax with his right palm, and swung it hard.

In the dull sound of the knife and ax entering the flesh, the head of the "Noodle Man" separated from the body with "corrupted mercury" and rolled to one side.

A large amount of blood spurted out and spread all over the floor.

After the "Noodle Man"'s body twitched a few times, he became completely quiet.

Lumian took a big step, came to the head of "Noodle Man", stretched out his left hand, and held "Corrupted Mercury".

The next second, he saw an illusory river with little ripples of light.

The river seems to be spelled out one after another with complex mercury symbols, and each symbol is like a small river entwining itself.

At this time, at the end of the illusory long river, all the tributaries have disappeared, leaving only the main trunk, which has been interrupted and bent as if it is trying to return to the starting point but cannot succeed for the time being.
