Chapter 809: Ignored

There are no street lights in Morora at night, relying purely on the crimson moon in the high sky to provide illumination. Everywhere is deep darkness and thick shadows.

Gucin, dressed as a gentleman, carried a horse lamp and brought Lu Mian to a block near the edge of the city.

This place has been completely abandoned because a low volcano rose from the ground, swallowing several houses, and the surroundings are a piece of charred ruins.

"The place you mentioned wouldn't be under the volcano, right?" Lu Mian looked left and right, tidied his cuffs, and said with a smile.

Gucin nodded gently:

"Yes, that volcanic eruption affected the underground part of the cemetery, allowing the power inside to seep out. The magma soon receded, leaving only a void."

"If you can find the correct path in the void shrouded in the fog of war and arrive at the predetermined destination, it means you have the qualification to attack the underground part of the cemetery with us."

Fog of war... Gucin has been using this term to describe the underground fog. This really looks like it leaked from the underground mausoleum, and there is "0-01" representing the "Red Priest" over there... Lu Mian did not conjure a bright white fireball for himself to illuminate, and followed Gucin, who was carrying the horse lamp, into a building located at the edge of the volcanic area.

Inside the house piled with solidified volcanic rock, the two walked along the crumbling stairs and entered the semi-collapsed basement.

The wall of the basement had been torn open, and outside was a void filled with thick fog.

"You need to walk to this place near the underground part of the cemetery and light the oil lamp between the four stone statues. Remember, there are four humanoid statues facing each other in pairs." Gucin hung the horse lamp on a stone brick protruding from the wall crack, took out a simple map, and pointed to the location of the destination.

Lu Mian looked carefully for one or two minutes, and thoughtfully cast his gaze toward the thick fog outside the crack:

"What is special about this fog?"

Gucin pressed the top hat on his head and said with a smile:

"It can significantly reduce your visible range, affect your hearing and sense of smell, suppress the interaction between your astral projection and the spirit world, and make your spiritual warning and spiritual intuition become dull."

"Anything else?" Lu Mian asked persistently, seemingly relaxed.

Gucin thought for a few seconds and said:

"The fog of war has also shrouded the spirit world corresponding to this area. Even if some Beyonders can enter the spirit world, they cannot complete positioning and escape the fog. If they want to forcibly 'transmit' out, they are likely to get lost somewhere in Morora and never return to reality."

Can you "transmit" to places you can see? And with the eyesight of a "Hunter," I can only see clearly within a range of five or six meters now... Lu Mian roughly understood the role of the fog of war and laughed:

"If I can create a hurricane, can I blow them away?"

"We have tried, it works, but when the wind stops, the fog will surge back. And blowing away is limited to reality and cannot affect the part that seeped into the spirit world." Gucin described the experimental results before simply.

Lu Mian asked a few more details, smiled, and conjured a ball of bright white flames, letting it hover above his head.

He stepped forward, passed through the crack, and walked into the thick fog step by step.

This fog was not damp and cold like normal ones, but instead had a burning sensation as if it had been scorched by fire. As soon as Lu Mian breathed it into his nose, his entire airway felt a bit of stinging pain, and the smell of burnt, blood, and rust filled his mind simultaneously.

The thick, solidified fog surged, and the earth trembled slightly.

Lu Mian immediately saw tall figures walking out of the fog five or six meters away.

These figures were cast from black iron, and their surfaces had many dark red rust stains, like metal puppets that had been left idle for many years.

Some of them were missing arms, some had uncoordinated body assemblies, and some had a big hole in their chest and abdomen. They all swayed and walked toward Lu Mian from all directions, holding giant swords that flashed with cold light in their hands.

Lu Mian laughed:

"Who picked you up from the trash heap?

"Waste utilization?"

Before the words fell, his figure had disappeared from the spot and appeared behind one of the iron puppets.

His eyes were stained with iron black, his right fist was burning with bright white flames, and he smashed toward the waist and hip connection of the iron puppet like a giant bird falling to the ground.

Suddenly, a bright white flame spear flew from the wall crack, rushing toward Lu Mian, who had just swung his fist, at an extremely fast speed.

Lu Mian had no time to dodge, no time to use "Spirit World Travel," and could only fall toward the ground following the momentum of his right fist smashing down.

At the same time, he prepared to swap his shadow with his main body.

Bang!

His right fist, burning with bright white flames, hit the waist and hip part of the iron puppet, hitting dense spider-web-like cracks there.

Then, his fist brushed against the metal surface, driving his body to fall to the ground, allowing him to avoid that bright white flame spear quite dangerously, only a tuft of his hair was ignited.

In the sound of "dang," the bright white flame spear penetrated the body of the iron puppet and fell two meters away, revealing the figure of Gucin wearing a top hat.

The one who attacked Lu Mian was this tester!

It is this second most dangerous person in Morora!

Kachacha, kachacha, the iron puppet walked forward by inertia for a step, its body began to disintegrate from the waist and hip, collapsed with a bang, and turned into a pile of scrap iron.

Lu Mian, who fell to the ground, did not roll. Taking advantage of the fact that he was not far from leaving the basement, he directly "transmitted" to the crack position covered by the thick fog, moving to the maximum extent within the visible range to escape the fog of war as soon as possible.

By then, whether it was counter-killing Gucin or finding an opportunity to escape, it would be more calm than now.

When there is a choice, try not to fight in a scene preset by others!

Lu Mian's figure just appeared in the thick fog near the basement crack when a metal spear wrapped in bright white flames suddenly reflected in his eyes. It seemed to be waiting here, waiting for Lu Mian to hit it himself, and pierced toward Lu Mian's heart.

Besides Gucin, there was another ambusher!

And Gucin's attack just now seemed to be to induce Lu Mian to "transmit" toward the exit, stepping into the trap himself!

At this time, Lu Mian was in Morora, and was far away from Franca and Jenna, unable to borrow the "mirror substitute" they made, so he could only activate the contract imprint between lightning and flint, letting the shadow cast by the fire light flip up and swap positions with the main body.

Pfft!

That metal spear wreathed in bright white flames pierced Lu Mian's chest, igniting his whole person.

But Lu Mian's figure became thin and black, dissolving in the fire light like a shadow.

The person holding the metal spear then walked from the crack into the fog of war.

His hair seemed to be dyed with a layer of blood, his facial features were extremely aggressive, and he was wearing a black jacket with red patterns, which was Albus Medici.

Albus Medici, who should have been sought by Gucin, actually appeared here!

Lu Mian's figure quickly outlined in another direction, but due to the restriction of the fog of war, the distance between him and Albus, Gucin, and the remaining black iron puppets did not exceed six meters.

He saw Gucin's glabella faintly turning red, as if something was about to drill out, and saw Albus's hair covered with crimson flames, scattered down, as if it had changed from short to long.

"You traitor." Gucin narrowed his eyes slightly and whispered as if pronouncing a crime.

He immediately conjured one bright white fireball after another, letting them bombard Lu Mian in a posture that covered every corner.

He seemed not afraid of affecting himself and Albus at all. You know, the distance between them was only five or six meters, and the fireballs he was conjuring now were enough to plow the "Carnivore" tavern flat.

Hearing Gucin's words and seeing Albus Medici's posture, Lu Mian suddenly understood the reason why he was attacked:

He ignored the existence of the "Iron and Blood Cross Order"!

This secret organization with the "Hunter" pathway as the main path should also be looking for the whereabouts of "0-01." Years passed, and it is highly likely that someone has already mixed into Morora.

One of these people is Gucin!

And with the strange connection between the core members of the "Iron and Blood Cross Order" and Fourth Epoch Trier, they can maintain a certain self in Morora, borrow the power dissipated by "0-01" to perceive the approach of the law enforcement team in advance, which is completely understandable and consistent with Gucin's performance!

The situation now is that Albus Medici seems to be still cooperating with the "Iron and Blood Cross Order," still using this secret organization, and Lu Mian's attempt to find Albus Medici by borrowing the power of Gucin and them was used by them, turning into a trap.

Looking at the bright white fireballs flying over, looking at Albus Medici blocking the exit and not knowing what he was preparing, Lu Mian had no hesitation, a faint light flashed on his cuff, and his figure disappeared again.

But this time, a makeup mirror was left at his location.

That makeup mirror fell straight in the thick fog, kachacha, and fell out with multiple cracks.

Rumble!

The bright white fireball group conjured by Gucin exploded, but only affected a range of five or six meters, failing to push away the thick fog of war, and was restricted to a very small area.

That makeup mirror turned into countless fragments in the violent explosion, some fragments either shattered into slag or melted and re-condensed.

Albus looked at the rising bright white fire light, feeling the shock wave rushing toward his face, his expression slightly confused, and he muttered to himself:

"Using the mirror world?"

Behind the dark, void mirror, Lu Mian, who used the "mirror buckle" again, quickly looked forward and found that those illusory, dark spider-web tunnels were not eroded by the fog of war.

Sure enough, in Morora, the mirror world is special... Lu Mian relied on the "mirror buckle" to dare to "believe" Gucin and dare to walk into the fog of war to "accept" the test.

Of course, with magical items like the "Sword of Courage," he was not without the power to fight just now, but under the premise that he hadn't figured out Albus Medici's trump cards, he didn't want to fight for his life on the battlefield preset by the other party.

Lu Mian immediately chose a mirror imprint located in Morora and used "Spirit World Travel" to leave here.

He had just disappeared from this place, and the void, dark area behind the mirror disintegrated silently following the complete shattering of the mirror.

The destination of Lu Mian's "transmission" was the mirror in Zhu Li's room.

Just as he arrived at his destination, he peered through the glass mirror to examine the situation outside, discovering that Zhu Li, the "Witch," was nowhere to be found and was not sleeping in her bed.

The corners of Lu Mian's mouth curled up, bit by bit.
