Chapter 437 436. Empty Soul

Although she has been criticized several times, the mist demon still sleeps boldly and freely. With her magical body, she can easily pass through most walls, so she often appears in Lu Yu's room in the first half of the night and rises to the wall in the second half of the night. Pull the room, but at dawn, you fly out of the house to see the wonderful scene.

For those who had just arrived in Chenxi, this scene had put great psychological pressure on them, especially the combat team.

It was a dark and windy night, and when we patrolled to the core area, at first glance, we saw half of the head or half of the body sticking out of the wall, which would make anyone tremble.

Tonight was no exception. When the battle group left the area where the three lords lived, they saw a familiar half-body again. The sleeping mist demon was completely unaware that he was about to leave Lu Yu's warm room, and the members of the battle group couldn't bear it. After waking her from a deep sleep, she could only shake her head, smile and continue her work.

With the expansion of the patrol area, the number of combat team members near the mansion gradually became less and less. The sound of flying horses flying away brought silence to the Dawn Territory once again.

"Click..."

"嚓~~~"

It was like someone was walking on wooden clogs, or someone was holding a wooden stick and making a series of friction sounds that were not harsh, but very discordant.

Someone among the members of the combat team who had just fallen asleep woke up in a daze. Hearing the strange noise that was gradually fading away, he shook his head: "Is it an illusion... It was so cold just now."

As he spoke, he wrapped the quilt tightly and buried his head in it.

He didn't think anything of the sudden strange noise. In the past, most of the members of the battle group were tired and sleepy in the second half of the night. When they returned to the core area of ​​​​the territory, they would find some entertainment, or compete with wooden swords, or use Skipping stones and floating in water are all childish activities, but people who have lacked childhood since childhood always have a great time, because the comfort of Chenxi Ling allows them to have their own happy time after a long absence.

Feeling that his companions were too noisy, he muttered a complaint as he fell asleep.

The mist demon is dreaming. Different from the complicated and bizarre dreams of ordinary people, her dreams are often extremely simple.

In the dream, the fog demon can easily control the color of its body. It is no longer gray. It can also freely and quickly transform from a ball of fog into a solid individual, freely imitating everything around it.

Tonight's dream was particularly interesting. The mist demon transformed into two giant nasal plugs and blocked Huogu's nostrils. He watched Huogu being so angry that he opened his mouth to breathe. He exhaled hard but could not squeeze her away. The mist demon felt happy. Smiling.

The mist demon, whose nostrils were blocked just a second ago, suddenly felt uncontrollable and tingling all over her body. A strong attraction was dragging her out of Hogu's nose.

The strong wind blew her solid body into an erratic state. Her body was pulled and torn bit by bit, turning into white threads.

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, don't bully me, I was wrong, I was wrong!"

The powerful suction force did not stop because the mist demon begged for mercy. The mist demon's body began to weaken, and a feeling of weakness came over him.

The fog demon woke up from the panic. The moment he opened his eyes, in the dark night sky, more than a dozen human heads floating in mid-air cast cold and terrifying gazes with their dark and lightless eyes.

"What are you, ah!!"

The body of the mist demon involuntarily slid towards the outside of the wall. After transforming into a creature, she could not return to her original appearance - a ball of white mist, while a strange life composed of more than a dozen human heads was passing through the leaky mouth. Sucking on her magic.

The mist demon wanted to resist, but found that her magic power could no longer be mobilized. An indescribable force enveloped her, accelerating the disintegration of her body.

"Lu Yu, save me!!"

The frightened fog demon let out a heart-rending cry.

Lu Yu suddenly woke up from his deep sleep. His head was still a little dazed. He was stunned for a moment. The sleeping guard who was the first to notice the abnormality climbed out of Lu Yu's bed. Xiao An, who had always been slow to move, was even more stunned. She threw herself in front of the bed and bumped her head against it. She seemed to have forgotten that she had a physical body.

Feeling the strange magic fluctuations and the coldness spreading into the room, Lu Yu's hair stood on end. The excellent intuition he had developed from long-term travel made him immediately aware of the abnormality. He rushed to the window and stuck his head out.

"Whoosh!"

The foreign object that broke through the air set off a strong wind, and Lu Yu subconsciously shrank his head.

The arm covered with brown-green scales sank into the window railing. Broken wood chips and glass flew everywhere. Xiao An stepped forward and blocked Lu Yu.

Looking at those arms, Lu Yu's heart trembled: "The arms of a half-dragon..."

"Are you kidding me? Who would use a half-dragon's arm as a weapon?"

"Lu Yu!!!"

With just a quick glance, Lu Yu discovered that the body of the mist demon had shrunk rapidly, and now even his voice had become shrill.

Not caring about thinking, he looked at the pair of hands that were slowly drawn out from the window railing, calibrated like floating cannons, and faced his arms again. Lu Yu gritted his teeth, shouted Xu Yu's name, and took a lunge to launch his arms in time. Before, he grabbed the window edge covered with sharp debris and flew out.

"What the hell is this."

Lu Yu's scalp was numb. The monster that was devouring the fog demon in front of him consisted of more than a dozen heads floating in the air, more than twenty arms and thighs, and a large number of organs.

They are not grouped together. They seem to be pulled by invisible threads to dance in the air. From time to time, they will merge together to form a human-shaped outline, but it is so deformed that it cannot be seen. He is twisting all the time like a sea lily. The water dances.

The mist demon used the remaining magic power to cling to Xiao An, while Xiao An attached all its tentacles to the wall.

"Lu Yu, I feel so uncomfortable." The mist demon was crying as she spoke. She had no pain and could only express her current state in this way.

"A moment!"

Following Lu Yu's angry roar, he walked out through the wall in a moment.

"Tear him apart!"

With that said, Lu Yu also rushed forward. Although his long-term research on summoning had made him unfamiliar with basic magic battles, he could no longer think too much at this moment.

Xu, who had a good relationship with the mist demon, gritted his teeth for a moment and poured the blood tank he carried towards the abnormal object. The blood beads in mid-air condensed into a spear, which penetrated directly through the floating head of the abnormal object.

The small wings unfolded, and the densely packed eyes began to rotate. A series of malicious blood-red lights shone on each organ. After a while, they were riddled with holes and fell to the ground with a bang.

On Xu Yu's shoulders, the gecko kept spitting out flames, inflicting touch-ups on the organs that were still jumping on the ground.

Sera and Lulu, who also reacted, joined the battlefield. Huge fireballs fell from the sky, but the deformed creature showed super mobility beyond imagination. It swayed its body in disarray from side to side and quickly retreated to avoid this powerful force. A huge blow.

Fires shot into the sky, and the sound of explosions in the middle of the night could be heard far away.

Lu Yu, who was choked by the explosion and coughed, rushed to Mist Demon's side. Looking at the white mist that had shrunk into a ball, he asked anxiously: "Mist Demon, how are you?"

"It's...uncomfortable. I can't transform. I can't transform..." The fog demon spoke faster and faster, and the fear in his tone was palpable.

The sullen Lu Yu turned around without saying a word and once again pounced on the reorganizing deformity.

"Wait, there's something wrong with this guy!" Seeing Lu Yu coming up, Sera quickly stopped him.

Lu Yu asked: "I saw it. Normal attacks are ineffective. Moreover, it is like a puppet with no core 'point' at all. I don't understand what it is, but it took away The power that belongs to the mist demon, I want to tear it apart!"

"It has the same aura as a resentful spirit." She played a trick with a gun for a moment, and immersed the tip of the gun into the head that she had swept off. She picked it up and took a look, and was stunned, "This... seems to be Clorance's." Doll material?”

The eyes of everyone present quickly focused on the head at the tip of the gun for a moment, and they picked up the various organs that fell on the ground, and were shocked.

"It's not true...it's all puppet material."

The dozens of remaining heads of the deformed object began to rotate at high speed, and the floating arms picked up the sticks and stones around them.

"Light magic should have a miraculous effect on it, Sera do it!" Lulu shouted.

The classic magic of the Theocracy's glorious incarnation [The Meaning of Glory] reappeared in Serra's hands. The spear condensed from her palm pierced the body of the deformed creature with an indomitable momentum. A corrosive "hiss" sounded immediately, but the deformed creature The object was not seriously injured and was still slapping the ground, throwing roots and stones, and pounced on the mist demon.

Along with the movement of the deformed creature, the fog demon shrank a lot more visible to the naked eye.

"Not a wraith? Their auras are exactly the same!"

Lu Yu withdrew Xiao An, and the summoning ceremony began.

"Demon-eating tree, suck it dry for me!" He stood in front of the fog demon.

The Demon-Eating Tree, which was specially attacking the magic power, felt Lu Yu's anger and anxiety. Its low-hanging branches moved forward, wrapping around the floating body of the deformed object as much as possible, and at the same time transformed into a vacuum cleaner, with full suction power.

It was also at this moment that ripples appeared on the deformed object that seemed to be controlled by the power of nothingness, and the invisible and undetectable mastermind revealed his figure.

Countless spirits were shattered into pieces by the suction of the Demon-Eating Tree, and the magic energy turned into little bits and pieces and quickly dissipated. From time to time, twisted faces could be seen flashing in the night sky.

Huo Gu, who hurried over, found the mist demon huddled in a ball, the blazing breath of fire brewing in his mouth, and the overflowing fire revealed his almost crazy heart.

The deformed creature was still struggling, but the Demon-Eating Tree did not let it go any further and continued to affect the mist monster. The sharp echoes in the void were the last traces of their presence in this world.

"Mist demon, fog demon."

Huo Gu, who carefully walked around the building, no longer had the same reserve as before. He lowered his head tremblingly and looked at the weak and pitiful Mist Demon, who had no strength to speak, and tears fell heavily.

"Say something, are you okay..."

Seeing that the fog demon's figure was blurred, Xiao An swallowed her into his body without saying a word. Seeing this action, Huo Gu subconsciously raised his claws.

"No, Xiao An is accelerating the treatment of the fog demon. She is connected to my magic power and can share the magic power with the fog demon!"

After hearing Lu Yu's explanation, Huo Gu lowered his paws little by little, but his body was still trembling.

"Why, what is that thing, and why does it appear here, easily swallowing up the magic power of the fog demon's origin? It is the necessary power to maintain her existence, and is the core of the life of any magical body!"

The so-called concern leads to chaos. The angry Huo Gu gradually regained his composure. He paused: "I'm not blaming you specifically. I just want to know what went wrong with the security of the Dawn Territory. This time, the Mist Demon's life is not in danger. This origin magic power can be quickly healed according to the environment in the magic tide, but what about next time?”

The members of the combat team who arrived in a hurry lowered their heads in guilt. As the captain for the rest of the night, Zixing did not shirk responsibility: "I didn't plan the route well."

"It has nothing to do with them. This monster was conceived in the Dawn Territory and is not an outside invader."

Sela and Lulu, who were squatting on the ground and studying the remains of the deformed object, discussed it and came up with the idea.

"What is it?" Hogu asked.

"Wraith."

"There are no corpses in the Dawn Territory. All the corpses in the disaster have been properly burned and disposed of. There are no bodies they need here..." Huo Gu, who was a corpse burner, was only halfway through his words when he suddenly thought of something.

"Doll..." Hogu murmured horribly.

"Yes, it's a doll. These unconscious spiritual bodies will naturally find a suitable carrier for themselves. It can be a corpse or a soulless thing. For example, a doll that is not much different from the body needed for normal life. ”

Lulu said: "Dolls are inherently empty. Great puppet masters always pursue the vision of 'consciousness transfer' and 'body replacement' when creating them, so every doll is actually the most suitable carrier of consciousness. "

"In the previous era, consciousness transfer was limited by the environment and could not be successful. However, in this era, after the emergence of the resentful spirits, this possibility is gradually becoming a reality, and the equivalent of a low-lying doll will naturally attract people who are eager for recovery. "

Lu Yu, who had recovered from his anger, took a deep breath: "In other words, these resentful spirits attack the fog demon because it is also a body of magic power, an alternative spirit body. They desire to have a more complete consciousness, so they occupy the void. After the puppet started chasing the 'Mist Demon'?"

Huo Gu looked at the mist demon with pity. As a giant dragon, his knowledge was beginning to be insufficient in the face of this turbulent new era. Everyone in the Chenxi leadership, who did not expect that the mist demon would become the target of spiritual bodies, also began to worry. .

"The new wraiths are extremely hidden and difficult for us to detect unless they are officially possessed... How to prevent this?" Sera bit her finger.

Lu Yu thought about it for a while, then turned to Sigrid and asked: "How many magic stones do we have?"

"Not much. We didn't consider this level when we started hoarding items. Moreover, in the continent of Mera, magic breaking stones are always in short supply, so bartering is often required." Sigrid, who knows all about supplies, immediately answered. .

Lulu shuddered as soon as she thought of the source of the magic stone.

"Lu Yu, those two dolls from the Silent Mountains!"

Hearing this, Sera and Lu Yu also trembled.

If the resentful spirits are allowed to occupy those two terrifying bodies, Thoresan and the Grand Empire will inevitably be destroyed.
