Section 2413: Destruction and Provocation

It didn't take long for Angel to find the Fire Scale Familiar.

It stayed in a corner of the main corridor.

Angel carefully observed the behavior of the Fire Scale Familiar, and his expression changed from exploration at the beginning to frowning at the end. In fact, the behavior of this Fire Scale Familiar was too weird.

The overall structure of the Fire Scale Familiar was a bit human-like, about one meter tall, with a head, a torso and limbs, but the skin was bright red like fire. It was very thin, with wrinkled skin, few hairs on the top of its head, and the canine teeth on its lower jaw were sharp and protruding. The overall appearance was ugly and evil.

At this time, this "child" who looked like he was wearing a red wrinkled leather jacket from a distance was "dancing" to a transistor standing upright in the corridor.

It was holding a spear made of fire and dancing beside the transistor.

The "dance" was primitive and ugly, and at first glance it looked cheerful, but if you looked closely, you would find that the Fire Scales familiar was not really dancing, but was accumulating some kind of fire power through this cheerful movement, and finally... it would attack the transistor head-on.

Yes, it was an attack head-on.

It treated the upright transistor as an enemy.

But the transistor was very hard, and the Fire Scales familiar danced for most of the day, but the transistor remained motionless. It was so tired that it leaned against the transistor and panted heavily.

Then after a few minutes, Angel saw the Fire Scales familiar stand up, cursed at the transistor that was not damaged at all, and then walked towards the next transistor.

The Fire Scales familiar walked like a arrogant crab, furious. This performance made Angel think that he would attack the next transistor, but he didn't.

Although the Fire Scales familiar glared at the transistor next to it, it still bypassed it and chose a transistor further back to perform the "dance".

Angel didn't understand why the Fire Scale Familiar was so obsessed with the transistor, nor did he understand why it jumped away from the second transistor and attacked the third transistor?

After some exploration and thinking, Angel discovered that there was a channel of magic patterns inside the second transistor, which was part of the magic array, while the first and third transistors were just ordinary energy transmission pipelines.

Once the Fire Scale Familiar attacked the second transistor, it would inevitably be attacked by the magic array. From this, it can be seen that the Fire Scale Familiar seemed to know the magic array in the laboratory very well.

This made Angel even more confused.

If the Fire Scale Familiar group is to be traced back, they should come from the Abyss World. But even the monsters in the Abyss are not all powerful. The Fire Scale Familiar is like this. They are more like the bottom of the food chain on the surface of the Abyss. They stay near the volcano all year round. The living environment is worse than that of the abyss natives. It's not that they don't want to fight for better territory, but that they are too weak and very stupid. They can't fight at all.

Such a low-intelligence and weak fire-scale familiar, let alone knowing the magic array, it is already good enough for it to know how many people there are in its family.

And this fire-scale familiar is obviously a little different from its kind. It seems to be very smart and can detect hidden magic patterns and avoid magic arrays.

But watching the fire-scale familiar's behavior of confronting the transistor, Angel wondered if he had overestimated its IQ.

Who would go to compete with the transistor for no reason?

Before, they had all kinds of speculations, saying that the fire-scale familiar's goal was very clear, that is, to go to the fifth floor. Angel was already thinking whether the fire-scale familiar was going to become an Avenger and come up with some shocking plan. But unexpectedly, the real situation was so speechless.

Is the fire-scale familiar stupid or smart? What exactly is it going to do?

With these questions, Angel continued to observe for a while. As the fire-scale familiar's more strange behaviors appeared, he finally confirmed some things. This fire-scale familiar did know the magic pattern, and its attack target was not just the transistor. Its attack behavior basically did not have much benefit, more like... destruction.

Pure destruction.

However, the Fire Scales' ability is limited, and there are restrictions on the magic array, so the degree of damage is quite limited. So far, it has only burned some unimportant metal skins.

When the Fire Scales' familiar found that the degree of damage was not high, it became very anxious. It also began to observe the surrounding environment, and finally, it locked another target.

A larger corridor.

Compared with the slightly cold corridors on other floors, the corridor on the fifth floor has some design sense of traces of life. For example, in the slightly larger space, there are sofas and low tables, and some fruits that can be taken at hand are placed on the table. There are also low cabinets and bars nearby, on which are some cups and wine.

The Fire Scales' familiar now has its eyes on a casual corridor bar.

If the transistors can't burn, then these should be able to burn, right? The Fire Scales' familiar's eyes revealed similar information.

It also implemented the idea in its heart, jumped with arrogant steps, rushed to the vicinity of this bar and began to wreak havoc.

After a while, a big fire broke out here.

Seeing the fire, the Fire Scale familiar was obviously happy, and it continued to look for other places to burn.

However, Angel, who was at the main control node, frowned at this time, because the Fire Scale familiar was very close to a room that had no door and was only covered by a layer of shadow magic.

This room was Room 02. He used the power of shadow to hide the entrance of the room. But if someone could see through the shadow, they could find the entrance of the room.

When the Fire Scale familiar was on the fourth floor, he had seen through Kant's night shadow.

Therefore, the Fire Scale familiar has a high probability of discovering Room 02 and entering it.

From the eyes of the Fire Scale familiar, which were burning with a blazing desire for destruction, Angel could be sure that if the Fire Scale familiar found Room 02, it would definitely rush in and destroy it wantonly.

The destruction itself would not make Angel too concerned, but the interior of Room 02 was filled with a large amount of parchment and book materials. Moreover, these were not placed in the information room, but randomly placed in various places in the room, as if No. 02 was surrounded by various books in his daily life.

Although Angel could not see what these materials specifically recorded, it was very likely related to the research on soul weapons. If these were destroyed. It is estimated that Nice would be very angry.

Thinking of this, Angel decided to go to the fifth floor immediately.

At least, he had to make a copy before the Fire Scale familiar burned those materials.

...

After connecting the outer corridor of the first floor to the fifth floor, Angel left the main control node.

On the way to the outer corridor, Angel was also thinking about the strange Fire Scale familiar.

Before leaving the main control node, Angel checked the second to fourth floors and found that the fire scale familiar did not actually destroy the transistors on these floors.

It seemed to be only interested in destroying things on the fifth floor. Does this destructive behavior have any deeper meaning?

It is currently unknown.

Perhaps, it really just wants to take revenge on the first three numbered wizards? But from some details, it doesn't make sense.

As Angel's thoughts surged, he finally arrived at the outer corridor of the first floor.

Because the outer corridor has been connected to the fifth floor, there is no need to take specific steps. Angel can reach the entrance of the fifth floor by walking forward directly.

After arriving at the fifth floor, Angel immediately smelled a pungent burnt smell.

This is the smell emitted when some compounds are burned and melted.

Angel walked forward quickly, and when he turned a corner, he saw a fire still burning not far away.

It was the corridor bar that he had seen from the authority before.

From the naked eye, there was no shadow of the fire scale familiar near the bar. Angel was worried that it had already run to Room 02, so he hurried forward.

When passing by the fire, Angel did not look into the fire, but Dangros, who was hanging on the Blood Night Shelter, looked over with a puzzled look.

The reason why Dangros was puzzled was not that there was something wrong with the flame, but that it seemed to smell a familiar smell.

Where had it smelled before? Dangros could not help but fall into deep thought.

Angel had a good understanding of the fifth floor through the main control node. He rushed directly to Room 02 without stopping.

Just as he came to the corridor of Room 02, Angel saw the Fire Scale Familiar who was burning a potted plant and looking at the door of Room 02 with puzzled eyes.

Seeing this scene, Angel was slightly relieved. It seemed that the Fire Scale Familiar had not entered Room 02 yet.

"Hey, look here!"

Angel shouted to the Fire Scale Familiar who was very focused in the distance.

The fire-scale familiar was startled by the sudden human voice, jumped up from the ground, fell to the ground, and hurriedly got up, posed a fighting posture, jumped blindly left and right, and finally successfully aimed at Angel's direction.

"Beep, gurgle, cluck." When the fire-scale familiar saw Angel, it made some incomprehensible calls, and then on that ugly face, it first showed a hint of surprise, then a little doubt, and finally quickly put away all the expressions.

This sudden change of expression made Angel look confused.

The next action of the fire-scale familiar made Angel even more confused.

The fire-scale familiar turned his back to Angel, bent down, deliberately exposed a certain indescribable part, and shook his meatless buttocks.

At first, Angel didn't understand what the fire-scale familiar was doing, but when the fire-scale familiar stood up again and hooked his finger at Angel, Angel suddenly realized.

He was provoked.

Angell didn't feel much about being provoked, but he just felt that the scene in front of him was extremely absurd.

However, through the absurd behavior of the Fire Scale Familiar, Angell vaguely guessed some answers in his heart.

Facing the siege of the researchers on the fourth floor, the Fire Scale Familiar showed fleeing and diverting the blame. But when he saw Angell, he showed provocation.

The pressure of the formal wizard on Angell was not deliberately hidden. Therefore, the Fire Scale Familiar was not bullying the few and fearing the many, and its real purpose was to provoke Angell.

Angell didn't know the Fire Scale Familiar before, so it was impossible to make enemies because of resentment. Therefore, it seems that the best explanation at the moment is: the Fire Scale Familiar recognized the wrong person.

It may have regarded Angell as the first three numbered wizards in the fifth floor.

Angell's speculation was not aimless. He still remembered the three expressions of the Fire Scale Familiar when he saw him. The first was surprise.

Why was it surprised? Because it saw its target... It destroyed things on the fifth floor, perhaps to lure out the wizards on the fifth floor.

The next expression was confusion. The Fire Scale familiar was obviously paying attention to Angel's face at that time, perhaps wondering why there was no number on Angel's face.

Finally, he put away all his emotions. At that time, Angel's pressure also arrived. The Fire Scale familiar sensed the pressure and realized that the person coming was a formal wizard. The formal wizards in the laboratory were only the first three sequences.

After this series of expression changes, the Fire Scale familiar seemed to have determined that Angel was the target it was looking for.

As for whether this speculation was correct? Angel didn't know, but the Fire Scale familiar must have known it.

So, why not ask it directly.

"You are destroying things here, are you looking for me?" Angel used the common language. Under normal circumstances, the Fire Scale familiar would definitely not understand it with its intelligence, but this Fire Scale familiar could not apply "normal circumstances".

The Fire Scale familiar's expression told Angel that it understood.

However, it did not respond to Angel.

Instead, it showed an ugly and weird smile, and then continued to make a provocative gesture, and then...

It turned around and ran away like a fly.

...

Perhaps it is a very exciting thing for the Fire Scale familiar to run away after pretending to be cool.

Its emotional fluctuations became more exaggerated because of this excitement, and the weird "chuckle" continued.

However, this excitement began to gradually change when it discovered a strange phenomenon.

The Fire Scale familiar found that the more it ran away, the closer it was to Angel.

Most importantly, Angel had not chased it yet. Angel just stopped where he was and looked at it quietly. That expressionless face made the Fire Scale familiar feel as if he had become a joke.

It was no longer laughing at this time, but began to beat its drums in its heart, and its speed became faster. It didn't want to be caught by Angel.

The speed of the Fire Scale familiar was completely different from that of ordinary Fire Scale familiars.

Its speed was so fast that even the afterimage could not be captured. Even some formal wizards might find it difficult to reach this level.

However, such a terrifying speed did not make the Fire Scale familiar stay away from Angel. Angel always stood not far away.

Angel did not move from beginning to end, which can be seen from the furnishings in the corridor next to him.

This is obviously wrong.

When he found this, the Fire Scale familiar stopped.

It sniffed the air around it like a dog, and suddenly, it seemed to smell something...

At that time, Angel also raised his eyebrows. It seemed that the ability of this fire-scale familiar was not only smart, it could not only distinguish the magic pattern, but also discovered the illusion nodes hidden in the dark.

Yes, it was the illusion node.

When Angel first saw the fire-scale familiar, he called out "Look here" and used the Wanyin illusion to arrange a large number of illusion nodes around.

The reason why the fire-scale familiar couldn't escape was that the illusion was guiding its direction.

At this time, after the fire-scale familiar found something wrong, the first thing it did when it stopped was to sniff around, and it finally caught the illusion node.

This surprised Angel.

Although Angel did not deliberately hide the illusion node, he was able to immediately capture the illusion node in the energy floating around. This ability is not ordinary.

This made Angel more curious about the origin of this fire-scale familiar.
