Chapter 116 115. Smuggling
"Interesting, interesting, interesting!" Huogu flapped his wings and roared.
"Come on, artificial butterfly, let me see what else is worth surprising."
The hot dragon breath cut through the sky and collided with the magic beam released by the butterfly.
It turned out that Huogu's dragon breath was at a disadvantage and was pushed back by the magic beam.
Huogu quickly stopped releasing dragon breath and accelerated to fly high into the sky.
The patterns on the butterfly's wings bloomed with dazzling light, and a large number of magic crystals sprayed pure magic beams. The colorful beams penetrated the sky and chased Huogu.
If time was frozen at this moment, Lu Yu would probably think that this was a gorgeous meteor shower falling from the sky.
How shocking, even Lulutis was dumbfounded.
She guessed that the butterfly would release its true combat power because of Huogu's appearance, but she didn't expect the butterfly to be so powerful.
The magic patterns on her body can compress all the absorbed magic and maintain the basic operation of her body.
The incomplete body became a transit station for magic power, perfectly connecting the magic interaction of the two wings, making the magic circle run smoothly.
If it weren't for Hogu's amazing speed, he would have been shot into a sieve by the butterfly that spread its wings and fired crazily.
The fog demon who had been making trouble for Hogu was too nervous to speak, fearing that Hogu would be shot down by the butterfly's attack in the next second.
The earth trembled, and a huge crash sounded throughout the forest.
Lu Yu only caught the picture of Hogu falling straight from a high altitude, and the next second, the butterfly that was originally floating in the air disappeared.
Lulutis was a little better. She knew from the residual magic aura that Hogu had strengthened his speed during the flight, so that no one saw the moment when he was so fast that only a shadow was left when he killed the butterfly.
"As a puppet, you are more powerful than I have ever seen... It's a pity that you are just a puppet."
The forbidden magic giant released a hallucinogenic flash in the face of the landing Hogu, but Hogu was unmoved.
"This illusion can only bully the fog monster."
Ignoring the forbidden magic giant, Hogu raised his claws towards the butterfly under him.
Compared to the forbidden magic giant, the butterfly is more threatening, and he must destroy it immediately.
"Don't destroy them, the puppet's magic circle can be turned off!"
Lulutis hurriedly asked Lu Yu to convey the message.
Hearing this, Hogu's claws stopped in mid-air, and he slapped the giant who rushed in front of him.
"Observe the flow of their magic power, and you can find the core of the magic circle!" Lulutis reminded.
Hogu stared at the butterfly that was still struggling to take off, and gently tapped the butterfly's uncarved "cocoon" with his claws.
Instantly, the struggling butterfly stopped moving.
With a flick of the dragon's tail, the giant charging towards Hogu was swept away.
After all, it was just a dead thing. Facing an opponent like Hogu who was thick-skinned and powerful, as long as he couldn't launch an effective attack, there would be no chance of winning.
Huogu used his dragon tail to force the body of the forbidden magic giant to prevent him from getting up. He carefully searched for the location of his magic circle. After a long time, he confirmed that the magic circle of the forbidden magic giant was actually engraved on the spindle-shaped head.
This may be the first time in hundreds of years in the Silent Mountains that someone has subdued these two guardian puppets.
Looking at the giant and the butterfly in the off state, the fog demon excitedly floated to Huogu.
Just as she was about to say something, the fog demon remembered that she was still in the appearance of Sigrid, so she immediately changed into the shape of a butterfly to cover her expression.
What she said also became "Too bad, you were almost shot down by the butterfly. You won't sleep too long and fight, right?"
Huogu snorted and ignored her.
"That's it, he actually said he couldn't beat you?"
Lu Yu, who watched the entire battle process, was deeply shocked. Is this the combat power of the dragon when it is serious? It only took a moment to solve the puppets made by two high-level magicians. Although the process looks thrilling, the gap between the two sides at the moment of actual victory is indeed overwhelming.
"When I have time, I will tell you how the dragons on the Mera continent went from their peak to being gradually pulled down from the altar by humans." Lulutis said, "Dragon slaying is a skill."
Hogu was still observing the structure of the two puppets. Seeing Lulutis coming over, he asked: "You want to study the magic array embedded in them, right? So should we do it now, or should we go and see the secrets they are guarding first?"
"I am more interested in their secrets. Hogu, aren't you curious about how these two puppets who have fought with us replenished their magic power in a magic-forbidden environment?"
"Especially that butterfly, every magic crystal on its wings is full, and the magic beams it releases are incredibly powerful."
Hogu glanced at the butterfly on the ground: "It seems that this place is far from as simple as it looks. Get on my back. I want to see what this high-level magician left here!"
Hogu carried Lu Yu and others and flew slowly in the Silent Mountains. Lulutis and the fog demon were trying their best to sense the magic fluctuations around them, looking for suspicious magic sources.
This carpet-style search soon yielded a discovery.
Above a plain forest, Lulutis suddenly found that the magic power she released was distorted.
Hogu also noticed the abnormality, and he slowly descended and extended his magic power.
Just like what Lulutis described, all the magic power showed unknown fluctuations when it reached a certain place, and the information sent back seemed to hit the trees.
Huo Gu asked everyone to stand behind him and then flapped his wings.
The strong wind swept forward, and the trees in the forest in front were motionless, even the leaves were still.
Huo Gu marveled: "It distorted our magic power, conveyed wrong messages, and concealed its own existence... The Silent Mountains are completely forbidden from demons. There is a monster like the Forbidden Demon Giant guarding the ground, and the sky is covered with butterfly beams. Almost no one can Feel every place here carefully.”
The firelight flickered in Huo Gu's mouth, and when the dragon's breath released with all his strength hit the forest sea like a map, an invisible barrier emerged.
The high temperature scorched the barrier, causing it to ripple, but Huo Gu frowned.
Huo Gu approached the barrier, tentatively stretched out his hand to touch the barrier, and then hammered hard.
After the dull sound, the barrier was intact.
"The elves said that abnormalities began to appear in this place seven hundred years ago, right?" Huo Gu asked.
"Is there any problem?" Lu Yu asked.
"Assuming that this place has not been maintained for seven hundred years, how has this barrier been maintained for seven hundred years?"
"I have never heard of any magic that can last for such a long time. Even if he is a ninth-level magician, I don't believe it can produce such a qualitative change."
Huo Gu said while lashing the barrier with his tail fiercely.
Under the attack of the violent wind and rain, the barrier was impregnable, and no damage could be seen at all.
Lulutis stepped forward and touched the barrier, feeling it carefully.
After a while, she pulled the tentacle away.
"Huo Gu is right. The magic power to maintain this barrier is surprisingly sufficient, as if someone is constantly providing energy to it."
"This is impossible. If someone really lives in it, then if we knock down his two dolls, won't he know?"
"This is what I find strange. It obviously doesn't look like someone has been living here recently, but it has plenty of magic power."
Huo Gu scratched his chin with his dragon claw: "What should we do? I just tried to break through the door with force, and my tail and hands are hurting now. The magic circle of this barrier is extremely clever. If you want to force the door through, you must have another one of me."
Lulutis was also a little embarrassed. If she were in her prime, she could just cooperate with Huogu and just open the door, but she wasn't...
There may be a secret about Sayer or another ninth-level magician. Lulutis doesn't want to share this secret with people she doesn't know well.
Lu Yu, who always had a lot of ideas, couldn't come up with a good idea. The group finally defeated the two door gods, but they were blocked from entering. This feeling was too frustrating.
"I have a question. Since this barrier is so powerful, how did the two dolls get in?"
Lu Yu, who was thinking, looked up at Sigrid.
Seeing everyone looking at her, Sigrid became excited, pointed to a footprint on the ground and said, "Look, this mark was obviously left by a giant. There is no doubt that he can enter the barrier."
Lu Yu's eyes lit up: "Well done, Sigrid!"
He quickly directed Huo Gu: "Drag the giant here. I think I have a way to get in."
Huo Gu didn't mind being ordered around, and he quickly wrapped his tail around the giant's body and walked to the barrier.
Huo Gu still hasn't realized what Lu Yu wants to do. Could it be that he wants to crack the secret of entering and exiting the barrier by cracking the magic circle on the giant's body?
However, not to mention the number of magic circles on the giant, it is still very complicated. It would take years and years to confirm each one.
"Who said I was going to crack it?"
Lu Yu smiled and let Lulutis get into the giant's big hands. Because he was not strong enough, he had to let Huo Gu help him and close the giant's hands so that there was no gap.
"Huogu, help me push the giant in."
At this time, Huo Gu finally understood.
This is smuggling!
The giant transformed into a giant Trojan horse, and Hogu carefully pushed the barrier bit by bit.
As expected, the barrier that rejected Lu Yu and his party did not reject the giant. The giant's head smoothly passed through the light screen, followed by its neck and upper body.
When the hands with Lulutis passed through the barrier and Lulutis reported to Lu Yu that they were safe, Lu Yu clenched his fists excitedly.
Lulutis, who entered the barrier, used her tentacles to open the giant's fingers, and then exposed the tentacles to the air inside the barrier. After a while, she finally revealed her head after confirming that it was safe.
"I wasn't ostracized, I wasn't attacked, everything was normal."
"I don't need to tell you what to do."
Lulutis smiled: "Just wait for my good news. If you find the core of the barrier, you can come in."
