Chapter 73 72 Lies
Chapter 73 72. Lies
Sigrid and Lutis looked for traces of Lu Yu in the thick fog.
The unknown monster that suddenly appeared rushed away and drove them away for a long distance. Although they finally managed to hide in a tree hole and evade the monster's pursuit, when they came back to their senses, they were surrounded by a dense atmosphere. The fog is thick.
At first, they wanted to follow the monster's footsteps to find Lu Yu's location, but they never expected that the heavy fog suddenly rang out with the sounds of fighting and magic explosions.
Recalling the scene they saw last night, Lulutis and Sigrid unanimously decided not to show their heads.
The cavalry and the adventurers were fighting in the wild, and no one could figure out the situation. If they showed up rashly, they would only get involved.
After a long time, the sound of fighting gradually disappeared, and the surroundings returned to silence.
Lulutis hung on Sigrid's shoulder to help observe the rear, acting as the eyes from behind.
The two of them carefully avoided the location where the fighting sound came from, and slowly searched for the footprints of the monster in the fog.
"Tap...tap..."
Slow footsteps sounded from the side.
Sigrid turned around and saw a scarred cavalry lying on the horse, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
The horse was panting heavily, with beads of sweat on its body. There were several stab wounds on its hind legs. Although they were not fatal, they were still bleeding.
Seeing Sigrid, the horse wanted to speed up and escape, but was exhausted. After only rushing out for a short distance, it was hit by the thick roots of the tree and fell to the ground.
The cavalryman on horseback fell suddenly and shouted in pain, as if he was awakened from a coma of exhaustion.
Lulutis, who didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but couldn't help but die, sighed and pointed in the direction of the cavalry.
As Sigrid approached, the cavalryman suddenly drew his sword and stared at her fiercely.
"Here, apply some healing potion on you and your horse. It should relieve some pain." Sigrid said, "You are exhausted now. If I want to kill you, I only need to punch you. Give me an excuse." I don't even bother to poison you secretly."
The cavalry gritted his teeth, picked up the potion, licked it with his tongue, and applied it to the wound as if he was dead.
Although Sigrid knew that this was a person's normal vigilance, she was still a little unhappy when her master's goodwill was questioned.
"Don't even say a word of thanks. Forget it, just tell me where the human settlements are nearby."
The potion relieved the cavalryman's pain and finally made his expression no longer ferocious.
"You are foreign travelers, right? Can you escort me back to Suna City? I have important news to report to the lord... Don't worry, this is a commission. I will give you a reward when you arrive."
After learning that there was a human gathering place nearby, Sigrid and Lulutis wanted to go, but their primary goal at the moment was to find Lu Yu.
"I can agree, but we must first go to the place where we were separated just now to see if Lu Yu is there."
Sigrid's head was buzzing, and the noise directly distorted Lulutis's words into a vague mechanical sound. Fortunately, it was in place.
The cavalry also agreed to Sigrid's request and rested for a while. After the medicine took full effect, the cavalry led the horse to open the way ahead.
The monster's footprints were very obvious, and not long after, Sigrid saw the pile of fallen trees not far away.
After a long journey, the injured cavalry had no strength to help Sigrid find someone, so he rested on a tree stump.
Sigrid, on the other hand, excitedly called for her master, but after calling for a long time, she received no response.
She wandered around the area and climbed to higher places to search, but could not see the shadow of her master.
"If you really can't find it, I suggest you leave here first, go to Suna City and then ask someone to come over and look for it. It's almost dark, and there's such a heavy fog, so it's definitely not a wise choice to spend the night here."
"You just want to deliver the letter quickly." Sigrid did not intend to leave.
"I'm thinking about safety. You are not locals. You probably don't know that monsters are particularly active at night when there is fog in this area. I don't want to be torn apart by the monsters brought out by the fog demon... If you don't leave, I will leave too."
With that said, the cavalryman who struggled to get up got on his horse.
Lulutis, who was floating around nearby, looked at the area with suspicion.
"Lu Yu has no appetite at noon?"
She glanced at the cavalry in the distance, then sneaked behind Sigrid and motioned for her to follow the cavalry and leave here.
"That's right. You can find a companion if you want, but not at night." The cavalryman advised earnestly, "As long as you get to the lord, you will definitely get help from the lord in rescuing me. Our lord is a Nice person, it’s just a matter of offering a reward to find someone for you.”
Sigrid whispered softly: "Lord Lulutis, is it really okay if we don't find the master..."
Lulutis wanted to explain something, but when the words came to her lips, she changed her mind.
"No rush, let's take a look at Suna City and the Lord's Mansion first."
In the thick fog, Lu Yu was still moving forward with Daphne's team.
Lu Yu wanted to ask about the cavalry he saw last night being chased by adventurers, but he gave up in the end.
He couldn't be sure if this group of people was one of the group of adventurers.
Besides, even if they had nothing to do with the adventurers last night, if the cavalryman was really from Suna City and had been killed, and he didn't know who the adventurers who were chasing the cavalryman were, then if his words got out, wouldn't the adventurers in the dark target him?
Silence was the safest choice.
In the foggy wilderness, Daphne's team walked more and more carefully. From their constant vigilance, it was clear that dealing with the sudden attack of fog monsters was a necessary skill for adventurers who wanted to make a living here.
"Be careful!"
A team member who was on guard on the side was suddenly grabbed by the leg by a hand that stretched out from the fog. The team member who issued the warning rushed forward, drew out the saber inlaid with sapphires, and cut off the pale withered hands with a knife.
The withered hands turned into mist and dissipated, leaving no trace.
Daphne frowned: "Beware, the fog monster has appeared."
"Damn the dense fog, these ghosts are chasing us, we are almost in the territory of Suna City, hey, Mark, speak!"
The person who spoke screamed in horror: "Mark!"
Lu Yu turned his head and saw that the team member on his left was strangled by a pair of hands stretched out from the dense fog, and he couldn't reply at all.
When the other team members helped to disperse those hands, Mark's abdomen was bleeding profusely, and the dense claw marks almost tore his stomach.
Mark, who was in great pain, couldn't even speak, but kept breathing, holding his longbow with exquisite shape and gorgeous patterns tightly in his hand.
Lu Yu glanced at the adventurer's identification card on Mark's body, which was fine steel grade.
Daphne raised the staff in her hand, and the bright light temporarily forced the dense fog away from all around, and the pale hands evaporated quickly under the light.
This is not a simple flash spell, but a magic mixed with fire attributes.
For a moment, Lu Yu had seen the outlines of the monsters in the thick fog.
Their bodies kept changing, like indeterminate entities. In the last second, they were huge monsters like mountains, and in the next second, they turned into octopus monsters that could float on the land.
This should be the monster condensed by the fog monster with magic power, but where is the fog monster?
In order to give the team members time to reorganize the formation and adjust their equipment, Daphne continued to release powerful fire and light dual-attribute magic.
"Lu Yu, aren't you a magician? Help me. If these things rush in, no one can leave here."
Daphne seemed to misunderstand that Lu Yu was conserving his strength and was ready to run away alone.
"I'm already helping. It takes time for me to summon things."
"By the way, Daphne, are you nobles?"
"What are you kidding? As you can see, we are all ordinary adventurers."
The description and description are in progress.
As she spoke, because Daphne's magic power was consumed too quickly, the fog gradually surged towards everyone.
Before the injured Mark could be dragged to a safe area, he and his two companions were bitten by a bloody mouth that suddenly stretched out from the fog. The three of them only had time to shout for help before they disappeared in the thick fog.
The girl who had reminded Lu Yu before had just dodged a pair of hands stretched out from the fog, and a person suddenly walked out of the fog.
"Mark?"
Before Daphne could remind him, Mark suddenly turned into a ball of mist and wrapped around the girl's neck.
It was like a transparent rope, and with a sudden effort over there, the girl was quickly dragged and flew into the thick fog.
Seeing this scene, Lu Yu had no expression on his face.
The description was completed.
The description was completed.
The initial price was paid.
At the moment when the summoning ceremony was successful, a beam of light emerged from the earth.
In the light, a white giant full of mechanical sense stood on the earth.
Lu Yu looked at the thing that he had been thinking about summoning since he came to this world, and glanced at it greedily.
Then, he took out the dagger and added fire attribute to it.
Daphne shouted happily: "Is the summon coming? Use it to disperse it quickly..."
"Swish."
The dagger stabbed directly into Daphne's heart. Lu Yu stared at Daphne's blue eyes, exerted force on his hands, and twisted it hard.
"You..." Daphne looked at Lu Yu in horror. The fire attribute magic on the dagger was destroying her heart and igniting her body.
If nothing unexpected happens, it will be on the shelves tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. The requirements are not high. Just ask for the first order. I will write a special thank you message at that time. Now I just want to inform you.
