Chapter 1122 The Lanternman

After the blocking effect of the steam mist disappeared, a humanoid creature wearing a leather robe and a hood was seen floating forward with a lantern in his hand.

In line with the surrounding scenery and atmosphere, Zhao Wenrui thinks the mysterious value can be scored 80 points.

The lantern bearer didn't seem to notice him who broke through the mist and darkness and rushed to him in an instant. But he felt that the other party was putting on a show.

Sure enough, when he approached within 3 meters, Ti et al. turned their upper body sharply, facing him, and shot first.

The first wave of attacks came from the lantern in its hand. The flames of the size of a large candle suddenly exploded, and the flames that spilled out through the glass lampshade were not simply bright yellow light, but waves of flames!

It's like the fierce fire formed by juggler's mouth spraying flames, splashing and burning, short but powerful.

At that moment, Zhao Wenrui estimated that the core temperature of the flame exceeded 1800 degrees!

He finds it interesting.

After all, in terms of understanding of the Old Ones, there are few people who are stronger than him. And as far as he knew, the Cthulhu family had no interest in playing with fire, and even hated it, even in the horror of the Luo family, the opposite element to water was wind.

Under such a background, even if it is a member of the upper ranks, there are very few who can instantly increase the core temperature of the oil lamp to exceed 1800 degrees Celsius.

You know, the melting point of chromium is only 1855 degrees, iron is 1539, nickel is 1455, copper is 1083...

Although the fire only lasted for two or three seconds, it was still enough to burn people to death, and the effect was extremely tragic. The temperature of the flamethrower during World War II was only 800-1300.

However, this fire could not help Zhao Wenrui.

But he didn't think about carrying it hard either. While his figure blurred, many afterimages swayed out, and he chose one of the afterimages that avoided the front of Yanlang, and his real body was transferred there.

This skill is called Phase Shadow Shift, and for those who don't know its principle and the method of cracking it, it can be called an unsolvable dodge technique.

This skill is not simply a product of old talent and knowledge, but developed by him by combining the two elements of darkness and wind, which represents his mastery of old skills and blood power, and it can even be said that he has stepped out of his own unique skills. The embodiment and beginning of the road.

Easily dodge the fierce fire impact,

Zhao Wenrui was not complacent, nor did he pay too much attention to the technique or object that produced the sudden fire. What he was paying attention to at the moment was the darkness in the deep hood of the lantern bearer.

Even at the moment when the fire was raging, the dazzlingly bright light still failed to illuminate the face in the hood of the lantern bearer.

The dense and deep black inhabits it, reminding him of the scene of the abyss under the sea that gave birth to this new body.

There is a serious lack of visible light there, and even bright lights cannot illuminate very far.

However, the darkness inside the lantern bearer's hood has a bit more supernatural and incredible characteristics than the darkness in the abyss of the sea. Even he, a quasi-god-level creature with a high affinity for dark power (supernatural power does not yet have the characteristics of divine power used by most gods), cannot see through it.

As if sensing his curiosity, the hood of the lantern bearer turned abruptly, facing him head-on again.

This made him a little dumbfounded. After all, the effect of 'Phase Shadow Shift' has just ended at this time, and afterimages are affected by skill level, darkness affinity, and external environment (dark and misty environments have bonuses to skills), Still not completely dissipated.

The lantern bearer can lock him in time, this is not explained by the quick response, but by the super sense.

The so-called super sense refers to the sense with a higher mysterious index than ordinary extraordinary sense. After all, he is both aggressive and skilled, and when he deliberately hides with the power of the law, even a transcendent can't sense him, but can only perceive a darkness.

As for the body shape, trying to deceive the visual observation of the optical side is the most obvious concealment technique, and there are too many mature methods, which are not worth mentioning.

So in just a few seconds, he experienced several cognitive changes. From the earliest sympathetic god-likeness of the old bronchial machine, to the non-god-like one after approaching, and now to the god-like one, it can be described as twists and turns. After all, supersense is not common.

To be more specific, if you don't have a force that is similar to him, there is no way to lock him so easily and confront him without losing the wind.

After the lantern bearer faced him again, the darkness in the hood gushed out, just like the light of a camping flashlight when the battery was low, spreading in a cone shape, forming a clear peripheral outline, but relatively dim, not particularly clear.

The light emitted from the Lantern Bearer's hood was dim, apparently not because of a lack of battery, but because the light was dark gray.

When the black light erupted, Zhao Wenrui had already realized what he was about to face, and he readily accepted it.

Sure enough, covered by the black light, Zhao Wenrui saw a miraculous face.

At first glance, this face looks ordinary, like the faces of most sea people in this world. The skin is gray-green, and the nose is like Voldemort's nose. It is not protruding enough, and the nostrils are slender.

In fact, as an amphibian, the seaman's nose is basically a decoration, the sense of smell is not developed enough, and breathing is not based on it. Instead, they use their mouths. When they are in the water, they simply use the gills behind the ear holes.

Although Haimin has weird facial features and no eyebrows, he can still appreciate them. He feels that they are basically in line with human aesthetics and can distinguish between beauty and ugliness.

However, the ordinary appearance of this person in front of him is not the point, but the visual effect with its own magnification effect is.

It felt as if Ant-Man was constantly shrinking while charging towards this face. Soon, the entire face was magnified into a certain piece of facial skin, and the entire face could no longer be accommodated in the field of vision.

Next, a certain piece of skin could not be fully presented in the field of vision, but folds, pores, fine hairs, and even extremely fine dander were seen.

Continue to move forward, continue to zoom in, and the magical microcosm of the world begins to fill the field of vision. The deeper you go, the more bizarre, abstract and difficult to describe.

In the end it is indescribable.

If it were an ordinary person, they would not be able to reach this step at all, and would be dazzled and stunned by the brain's self-protection mechanism.

But he obviously won't. He even knows the indescribable essence, to put it bluntly, he has accepted information beyond the limit. At that moment, the human brain is like a computer that cannot cope with the excessive amount of information. It is possible for the computer to get stuck or even burn out.

And he, although he is still more accustomed to the human way of thinking. But he already has the ability to switch to a higher-dimensional thinking mode.

Therefore, he can discern the complete multi-dimensional appearance of the Old Ones, so there is no indescribability in the absolute sense.

The reason why the prefix "absolute meaning" is added is because the height of the dimension represented by human thinking, the method of its birth, including verbal description, painting and writing, etc., is really not enough to describe the whole picture of high-dimensional existence . This also means that corresponding to the current mainstream human thinking cognition, indescribable is an absolute label.

After the lantern bearer showed his true face to Zhao Wenrui, he reached out and grabbed Zhao Wenrui's face.

It is said that the hand is a little raised, and it is more appropriate to call it the tentacles. The fingers are the tentacles, and the palm is made of tentacles coiled and tangled and tied. The sharp tone can open like a flower blooming, and those slender 'petals' are more like the joint feet of arthropods, wrapped in chitinous carapace, with sharp ends.

Between the joints, there are spider-like eyes, round and shiny black.

And all these details are concentrated in the small area at the end of a normal person's finger. The more clearly you can see the details, the more horrifying or even disgusting you will feel.

Seeing that the lantern bearer wanted to tear his face off, Zhao Wenrui smiled.

He knew that this was a ritual, and taking the body and capturing the soul was the root purpose of the ritual.

What he laughed was that the other party had a tacit understanding with him, and he actually wanted to play this ceremony.

It can only be said that as the same kind, some basic ways of doing things are very similar. The so-called tacit understanding is actually mainly caused by the distortion of thinking. It's just that Zhao Wenrui hasn't realized it yet.

The lantern bearer wanted to rip his face off, but was slapped in the face by Zhao Wenrui. Zhao Wenrui was not even trembling for a second due to the indescribable confusion released by the black light. On the contrary, he was the first to strike. With a lift of his right arm, the end of the arm turned into several shots, and the poisonous dragon poked into the hood of the lantern bearer.

The movement of the lantern bearer stopped abruptly.

Immediately there came out some indescribable hissing, like the howling and howling of snakes, lizards, whales, and beasts, in addition to some piercing screams of iron scraping, and some indescribable sounds. Current sound, and then reverberation + echo effect processing, is such a strange sound.

Zhao Wenrui is very satisfied.

This sound is very Cthulhu, and some of the old bloodlines of the deep divers of his family have a higher concentration, which can make this sound. When passing through the sea water, the sound will be like a symphony, more grand and distant.

But what made him more satisfied was the way the other party was shaking like chaff. It was a near-death convulsion, which made him feel happy, just like ordinary people feel excited and addicted to watching a large exploding scene of Bangbei.

'puff! '

Like a water bag being leaked, dark green viscous body fluid gushed out from under the leather robe, soaking the rusty and mottled iron pavement.

These bodily fluids are volatile, steaming like hot water, and a strong fishy smell of the sea also dissipates, but it's just fishy, ​​not smelly.

A long, sticky black worm like an eel rushed out from under the robe and fled in all directions.

Zhao Wenrui snorted, and black nails formed in the air, then swished down.

After the large and small worms were nailed by the black nails with sharp edges and corners, their bodies struggled and writhed, revealing obvious pain.

And this is obviously what Zhao Wenrui is willing to see, and he even facilitated it.

He can completely make the opponent lose all changes in a single move, because he has already understood that the opponent has only superficial appearance, ostentation, relying on items to support the field, and his own strength is far inferior to him.

But in the end, he chose to let the opponent fully demonstrate the means of survival, and then kill it, so as to gain the joy of ravaging the enemy.

The long worm leaked more body fluids from the part pierced by the nail, and then quickly shriveled up like the body of the lantern bearer, forming a layer of skin on its own.

More body fluids spread out to occupy a larger area, and then obtain a more efficient volatilization speed.

Vaguely, in the air a few meters above Zhao Wenrui's head, these volatilized gas gradually formed a strange gaseous polymer, like a group of constantly changing clouds, brewing to a certain extent, and then trying to drift away silently.

At this time, Zhao Wenrui didn't raise his head, he waved his sleeves casually, and a fiery hot wind swept up, penetrating the gaseous polymer in an instant.

After the fire wind passed, the gaseous polymer did not change, and then the black powder fell down, and before it landed completely, it shone like sparks and disappeared without a trace.

Zhao Wenrui felt a little dispirited. As an old family member, the change of the lantern bearer seemed to him to be a little lacking. This is a typical example of being too dependent on foreign objects and not good at learning.

"It's a pity, I just got a little interested, and there is nothing to play."

Zhao Wenrui groaned, and his gaze fell on Lanternhan's relic.

The leather robe with the hood has lost its illusion properties, revealing the essence of gray membrane. It seems that it is far from the thickness of a leather robe, a layer of waves, almost transparent.

So is the skin of those long worms.

He knew that if he didn't deal with it in time, the skins would lose their extraordinary properties and break down completely in a short time.

The extraordinary power in this world is not so strong, and it cannot support the natural energy throughput of such items that are considered rare geniuses and treasures even in the high-magic world.

There is also the oil lamp, which is also of good quality. It was not eye-catching before, but now it shows its original appearance. The appearance has not changed a lot, but the details are much more refined. A lot of mysterious symbols are etched, and the material is not trivial.

The most important thing is that it reveals the ancient and clumsy meaning of the heavy years.

You know, according to the relevant information that Zhao Wenrui got from the memory of the tax collector Martin, this kind of lantern has not been born in this world for a total of 500 years, and the existence of this lantern, according to his estimation, needs to be at least 500 years old. A zero is added at the back, and there is no man-made trace of the blessing of time and space magic, but it has naturally passed through such a long time, so it has the current appearance.

Therefore, whether it was the information revealed by the lantern or the inappropriate attire of the lantern bearer, they all successfully aroused his interest.

On the contrary, it was the purpose of the lantern bearer, and Zhao Wenrui became interested.

To him, the Lantern Bearer is nothing more than an appeal to the intelligent beings living on the Sea Spear, or an interest in the Sea Spear.

And related to these two, in the worst case, it is nothing more than a large-scale sacrifice, causing people to die tragically, or transform, or even transform Sea Spear together.

In his opinion, these are not interesting. Transforming a large fortress-level blue ship into a blue ship with extraordinary attributes, killing people by tricks, or even worse than death, is nothing more than such tricks. To him Say it lacks freshness.

The question that confused him turned out to be more interesting.

For this reason, he deliberately didn't play tricks like searching for souls.

If you try your best to cheat, you won't be able to play, and it's good to leave some puzzles and suspense.

Sure enough, the lantern bearer does not exist in isolation, but the value of the lantern and the importance of the lantern bearer make it impossible for relevant people to ignore the accident after it happened.

Before he was made to wait long, the Lantern Carrier's accomplice appeared...
