Chapter 224 223 Infinite Loop

Chapter 224 223. Infinite loop

The shy moon was blocked by the clouds, and a drizzle fell in the early morning, followed by a sudden drop in temperature.

Compared with Lulu, who only considered the battle supplies, Lu Yu was more prepared. He found the clothes he had prepared in advance and planned to put them on Lulu who was releasing magic to keep warm.

Lulu was stunned for a moment: "I will help you release a continuous ring of fire."

"Then we are like a bright light, attracting monsters hiding in unknown places to rush over?" Lu Yu teased, "We have to consider the environment."

"If the monsters come, they will all be burned."

"What if there are a lot of them?"

"Set a bigger fire."

"..."

Lu Yu stood there in a daze with the clothes in his hand. It was not right to approve or not approve, so he had to shake his head helplessly and put it away.

Obviously, in Lulu's cognition, if the explosion and the flames can't burn the monster to death, it can only prove that the fire is not strong enough and the explosion is too weak. As long as both are violent enough, all problems can be solved.

The two people's problem-solving ideas are obviously different. Lu Yu feels that he will be led astray by Lulu one day, because there is a clear gap between their strengths. Seeing Lulu constantly interpreting the violent problem-solving ideas with strength, it is hard for him not to be tempted...

The fire that burned all night was gradually extinguished under the sudden rain. When it was dawn, the mountain fire had been extinguished. The scorched earth on the ground was the masterpiece of Lulu's great power last night.

Everyone didn't know what Lulu was waiting for. She didn't lead the team to move forward, but took everyone here to stay all night.

"Something interesting should happen at dawn."

Lu Yu felt that everything that happened last night was interesting enough.

The fisherman who ignored them, the monster with a human body and an incredibly tenacious vitality, and the monsters and beasts who fell asleep after the fire.

This forest was full of weirdness. In the night when the fire was blazing, it was as quiet as death, as if everything was put on pause.

In the drizzle, the loud bird calls pierced the silence and tore the silence shrouding the forest.

Like a signal, after the first bird call, the birdsongs echoed in the ears of Lu Yu and others.

They were so noisy and active that Lu Yu felt that he was hallucinating.

On the big tree next to the resting place, a group of unnamed birds jumped onto the branches, chirping and calling. Feeling the movement of Lu Yu and others getting up, they frightened and flew into the sky, circling above the treetops.

The thunderous roar of the beast made the birdsong in the forest stop for a moment. Countless birds flew into the sky, leaving the wild roars for Lu Yu and his party to enjoy alone.

The roars, the rubbing sounds of bushes, and the snapping sounds of branches being broken were in stark contrast to the silence of last night.

Looking at a giant bear roaring and breaking a charred dead tree in the distance, Lu Yu was stunned.

The horrible burns on the giant bear's body, the wrinkled and twisted flesh bumps, all showed that he was in this forest last night and was attacked by a wildfire.

However, he did not move at all last night, and was silently burned by the flames that almost took his life.

Sigrid was already stunned. The miserable howls of countless awakened beasts and monsters echoed over the forest, and most of them had obvious burn marks on their bodies.

Facing three pairs of eyes looking at her, Lulu pursed her lips and led everyone to climb up a little higher.

"Don't ask, just keep watching."

The fight between the beasts has begun. Perhaps it was because of the unbearable pain after being injured, or perhaps it was because of the long-standing grudge. In short, any beasts that met each other almost killed each other at the same time, trying every means to put each other to death.

The giant bear fought against the equally huge tree monster, and the roaring tiger bit the neck of the giant deer, which was much larger than itself, but was hit in the face by the light ball that suddenly condensed on the giant deer's body.

For a while, the sound of fighting replaced those irritable roars, and the bloody smell in the forest was so strong that people wanted to vomit.

Countless birds wanted to return to their nests but could not, and could only hover above.

With the fall of monsters one by one, the forest gradually became quiet, leaving only the winners wandering on the pile of corpses, as if showing off their power to other potential enemies.

This long fight lasted for a whole morning. After the battle in Blue Water City, everyone's psychological quality was frighteningly good. Looking at the blood flowing down below, they could still eat. Sigrid even ate two servings of dried meat, which really made people suspect that she was eating with the fight down below.

After eating and drinking, Lulu looked at the scattered beasts and suddenly turned her head and asked, "Did you find anything?"

Lu Yu chewed the dried meat and felt that the taste was not good enough. He was thinking about adding more spices when making it next time. Lulu asked him so unexpectedly that he stood up and examined it carefully.

He really saw something unusual.

"Why are the bodies still there?"

After experiencing the bloody fight in the morning, the fallen monster bodies were not missing a piece of meat.

This is too unreasonable. Whether it is a beast or a monster, the fierce fight to the death must be for survival. Since it is for survival, the body of the loser is naturally the best source of energy supplement.

But as far as the eye can see, the bodies in the battle area are really intact. Could it be that the monsters here also have the habit of making meat jerky like them?

"No hurry, no hurry, keep watching."

The people whose curiosity was aroused were not in a hurry to leave the forest. They stayed at the high point they had chosen and observed silently.

In the squatting and resting, time soon came to evening.

As the sun set, the flying birds that did not know where to find food began to return to their nests.

The beasts and monsters that were roaming in the forest also dragged their bodies covered with scars from the morning fight back to their respective territories.

Among them, Lu Yu saw that many monsters had no wounds on their bodies, like spectators of the fight that affected the entire forest this morning.

"Lu Yu, do you want to see the dead resurrected?"

This sudden remark not only made Lu Yu's eyes widen, but Sigrid and the fog demon also looked at Lulu with surprise.

"You can?" Lu Yu asked.

"I won't, but you'll see it soon."

A strange feeling flashed through Lu Yu's mind, and with the rustling sound in his ears, he suddenly thought of a possibility.

Lulu, who had been watching Lu Yu's expression, had a gratified expression, as if she was a master who saw her apprentice's progress.

The corpses that had fallen and no one cared about stood up again in a stiff posture.

I don't know when, the blood flowing on the ground after the fight has been reabsorbed back into their bodies, and the land soaked in blood is like being washed by the drizzle in the morning.

As the fight splashed, the pieces of meat hanging on the branches were pulled by a pair of invisible hands and stuck to the bodies of the corpses again.

The dead corpses were waiting for a pair of empty eyes, twisting their stiff bodies blankly, like puppets, walking on the way back to their nests.

Everything that happened before his eyes was beyond Lu Yu's cognition. He looked at the backs of those monsters and couldn't speak for a long time.

"Follow me."

Following Lulu, they found a nest along the footprints left by the corpses.

Entering the nest, a bull-headed monster came into view. He was crawling on the ground and sleeping soundly.

Lulu smiled and pulled out the dagger from Sigrid's waist, and stabbed it hard into the body of the bull-headed monster, and blood gushed out.

The bull-headed monster still did not wake up, just like the countless monsters who were sleeping in the fire last night.

After waiting patiently for a long time, the blood that filled a small puddle seemed to be summoned by the body of the bull-headed monster and flew back into its body little by little.

Lulu was quick and used fire to cut off some of the blood. The bull-headed monster, who had been unable to feel the return of blood, began to heal the wound cut by the knife.

Sigrid touched it with her hand, and everything was intact.

"What's going on?" Although Huo Gu wanted her to follow Lu Yu and Lulu to gain experience, this experience was too much. She was not smart enough and turned into a summoned bowl to circle around Lulu.

Lu Yu looked solemn, touched the stubble on his chin, and muttered: "Action in the morning, rest at night."

"Die in the morning, live at night, and then, repeat over and over again." Lulu added, "This is not a simple forest. The whole forest is running according to the established rules."

"Every creature here is acting according to this rule, that is, after waking up in the morning, they will fight each other immediately. After the fight is over, the corpses will be kept in the original place. At dusk or nightfall, these corpses will come back to life again and return to their respective nests to sleep, waiting for the next day... No, waiting for the next death."

"The same is true for those flying birds. They leave here during the day not to hunt, but because their setting is to leave here when the fight starts. Leave this place and come back after dusk, this is more realistic. "

Lu Yu suddenly thought of something: "Those uninjured monsters..."

"We did a good job." Lulu said, "We burned this place last night, causing the monsters that should have been dormant and waiting for "life" to become "dead". For this reason, the monsters that should have found opponents to fight lost their corresponding opponents... In this way, the monsters here should maintain an even number, and the objects they fight should also be relatively fixed. "

"Our arrival has also caused other problems."

Speaking, Lulu led back to the height of the forest, and then she released more than a dozen light balls above the forest, illuminating large areas.

Under the dispelled darkness, Lu Yu saw a scene that made his scalp tingle.

Two sheep-headed monsters with bat-like wings and walking upright kept turning circles in the area burned by Lulu last night, lowering their heads from time to time and arching something with their horns.

In the forest that was completely dormant, only these two sheep-headed monsters were active.

With lifeless eyes, they kept repeating the same operation, each time with an interval of no more than one minute.

Lu Yu already understood that when Lulu sneaked out during the lunch break, she was doing this.

The caves of the two sheep-headed monsters were blocked by Lulu in advance, and the sheep-headed monsters who could not return to the caves were constantly trying.

After an unknown number of attempts, the two sheep-headed monsters collapsed on the ground, and a closer look revealed that they were actually asleep.

At this time, Lulu took out the blood that had been cut off and preserved by the flames. In the flames, the blood did not evaporate, but persisted for a long time before turning into extremely fine, extremely small dust with a little fluorescence. The mountain wind blew and completely dissipated it.

"They have no life."

Lulu clapped her hands, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and a fire arc exploded in the air. The flame blade swept across the two sheep-headed monsters, making them separate from their heads in an instant.

The burning sheep head turned into dust, not charcoal. After a while, only a white sheep skull remained in the original place.

"They are just imitating life... To be precise, they are imitating the 'master' of their body according to someone's idea."

"This is a very poor imitation, because they are actually just repeating the same thing based on that person's cognition."

"That person?" Lu Yu said.

"A magician, and a very powerful one at that. Just looking at the arrangement he made in this forest, he is definitely at level seven or even above. It takes a lot of time to arrange something like this, so I am sure that this person has lived here since he understood the rules of the Moon-Era barrier."

"I can't make an irresponsible guess that all the people who come here have become his toys."

"Are those humanoid monsters also his works?" Sigrid asked.

"The humanoid monsters may be the guards of this constantly running magic circle. Any life that strays into it is their hunting target. Considering that most of the people who stray into this place are fishermen, the combat power of those monsters is already sufficient."

Looking at the flames burning on the sheep-headed monster and smelling the burnt smell in the air, Lu Yu said to himself in confusion: "Why did he spend so much effort to arrange such a magic circle?"

Lulu walked in front of Lu Yu and protected him behind her without leaving any trace. At the same time, the shield magic was ready.

"Maybe we can ask him in person."

In the dark night, the human silhouette was illuminated by Lulu's light ball.

Not those stubborn humanoid monsters, this uninvited guest was dressed in decent clothes and a black high hat, standing silently in the distant forest and staring at Lulu.

"Are puppeteers so good at playing now...creating life, a very bold way to play."

"Fire magician, Lulutis, greetings to you." Lulu politely saluted the uninvited guest, then raised her head with a smile, "Excuse me, have you seen my rabbit?"
