Looking directly at the ancient gods for a whole year

Chapter 1614: Yellow Springs Cut Off (Part )

"That kind of thing out there?"

The wooden door is mottled and dilapidated, the stone wall is dim and dark, and coupled with the white bones covered with spikes, this scene is undoubtedly horrifying.

But for Lisa, the first thing she felt was the sense of relaxation that this quiet place was finally broken. She looked at Fu Qian and whispered for confirmation.

"Yes, the report from Linghui is true. These things do wander in."

Fu Qian still did not hesitate and made a judgment casually.

"Then kill it first?"

"After all, from previous experience, they are all very aggressive without exception. Even if we want to get along peacefully, they may not agree."

Without any worries, Professor Lisa became more confident and eager to try.

"That makes sense, but is it possible that it didn't actually notice us and just happened to be crawling out?"

Fu Qian nodded but didn't move.

  what?

Fu Qian's opinion was obviously a little unexpected, but Lisa still observed again very responsively.

But I saw densely packed thin limbs flying in the air as he spoke, floating and bringing out the back part bit by bit.

It's definitely those things outside.

And along with this change, she also confirmed her judgment again.

Because behind those thin limbs was a long body that was formed by ribs.

And through the tiny gaps in it, you can clearly see the green light inside the long strip.

Just like those outside, a combination of spirit and bones.

Even at the same time, its body structure vaguely confirmed Fu Qian's judgment - there was no head or eyes.

The body, which had almost completely swam out, looked like a beheaded centipede.

After going out, it did not pay any attention to this side, but floated in another direction.

But Lisa’s surprise was not this—when did the demigod become so peaceful?

It is hard to imagine that they would follow this principle: they would not attack unless the target actively attacks.

She looked away, expressing her doubt without any reservation.

"What do you think it's doing?"

In response, Fu Qian just asked casually and took a step forward while speaking.

……

"Is it looking for a body, too? Do you think following it might help you find it faster? But what is it looking for?"

While keeping up swiftly and making sure to stay under protection, Professor Lisa's understanding suddenly shone at that moment and she asked in a low voice.

"I don't know, but it certainly doesn't look like ordinary wandering."

Fu Qian gestured with his chin, and the body had already entered another door.

"Also, does this explain why it's so hard to find the body when there's so much empty space?"

really……

The other party's attitude was very casual, and his tone was completely discussion-like.

However, in the absence of any basis for judgment, one still can't help but feel the rationality of it.

"But is it possible that it judged our dangerousness and deliberately made this gesture to confuse us?"

Of course, this did not prevent Lisa from putting forward another guess of her own.

"It's okay to miss one piece of material. In that case, following along might be a waste of time."

"If that's the case, I think it's more worthwhile."

Fu Qian indicated that there was no need to worry too much.

"A creature with that level of intelligence, I would be more inclined to see what it's doing down there."

……

Without much struggle, Lisa thought for a moment and successfully persuaded herself to agree to Fu Qian's action strategy.

Although theoretically, the other party didn't need to convince me at all. At this depth, without the other party's protection, I couldn't move forward.

"Do you think there really were ghosts living here?"

At this time, the two had already arrived outside the door where the white bone centipede first appeared.

Looking through the gap, you can see that the layout is strange, but it really looks like the layout of an everyday residence.

Of course there was no doubt that there was neither people nor bodies in it, so much so that Professor Lisa asked with some emotion.

"It's really hard to imagine that this place could operate as complexly as the world we live in."

He glanced around and shook his head.

"But if there really is an afterlife, I think this form is more adorable than the sin judgment in many legends. What does Professor Lisa think?"

Halfway through his words, Fu Qian glanced at the other person, and the latter indeed had a strange expression on his face, as if he had misunderstood the reason why he didn't like Judgment of Sin.

"Don't worry, this has nothing to do with personal concerns. People like me should be able to skip the trial process directly."

Without waiting for the other party to explain, Fu Qian had already sighed at not being understood.

"Got it—wait something seems to be wrong."

The other party made fun of himself so naturally that Lisa could only sigh for a moment, but she became alert the next moment.

The white-boned centipede had quickly crawled out of the second room and continued to wander around, seemingly without any gain.

However, as she was preparing to catch up as planned, she suddenly noticed something strange: the skin on her hands was rapidly becoming darker.

"That feeling of death seems to be coming again, it's still mild, but--"

She turned around and looked at Fu Qian.

"You canceled the protection?"

"No."

He shook his head before paying.

"How could this happen... or is the power of this withering too strong to be completely stopped?"

With a frown on her face, Lisa looked around vigilantly and quickly gained something.

"Could that be it?"

The next moment she gestured towards a stone pillar not far away.

The size of the stone pillar is not exaggerated, and there are no special marks on the surface, but on its top is a sculpture of a person with a human face and a beast body. The lines of the facial features and the wings behind are very rough.

"Yes."

Fu Qian’s response was equally concise.

"Gargoyle? But it looks like an ordinary statue to me."

Lisa was suddenly made to lack confidence.

"It is indeed a statue, but it is not an ordinary one."

Fu Qian acted like an off-field instructor and reminded her to be careful.

"Since we entered a certain range just now, it has been absorbing life force in a special and targeted way."

"So that's how it is... Then how about trying to destroy it?"

Without any doubt about her judgment before dealing with it, Lisa instantly focused her attention on the thing and approached it quickly.

"You can try, but be careful. After all, after absorbing the vitality, this thing shows no signs of coming back to life."

Don’t hesitate before paying.

"Isn't that a good thing?"

Lisa was confused for a moment.

"I just feel that it can't be absorbed in vain. If it doesn't come back to life, there must be a way to release it."

Fu Qian continued to stick to the principle of talking rather than taking action, with an attitude of being very calculating, the only thing missing was him twirling the non-existent beard on his chin.

And the facts did not disappoint him. Almost as soon as he finished speaking, a ball of dark green flame shot out from the mouth of the statue and headed straight for Lisa's face.
