I really only stop

Under such circumstances, Celica, who has always been an optimist, couldn't help swallowing nervously. She poked Lu Xi, who was beside her, and looked at him according to the situation:

"I'm so nervous that I'm hungry, I hope you have brought something to eat—be careful!!"

The girl's exclamation seemed to trigger some switch, and the next moment, a group of black shadows rushed towards the back of Lu Xi's defenseless head at a speed that humans could never react to!

----------

Silence, a dead silence.

The big boat that was bustling just now quieted down in an instant, and even the sound of ticking water in the cave fell silent for an instant, as if intimidated by some great force, and no sound could be heard around.

In the dark cave that was so dark that you couldn't even stretch your fingers, a pair of pale golden eyes suddenly appeared. After flickering a few times, you turned your head and looked behind you. Then, a sigh of gratitude for escaping from death broke the barrier in the cave. silence:

"I'm holding it, it's really thrilling."

Blinking to fade the pale gold in his eyes, Lu Xi looked at the hideous object only a finger away from him with lingering fear.

To put it bluntly, this is a fleshy watermelon.

The huge spherical surface is completely covered by the 'skin' that is exactly the same as human skin. Through the skin, things like blue veins and blood vessels can be faintly seen surging underneath.If you want Lu Xi to describe it, this thing actually looks like a bald head viewed from above, a smooth ball of meat.

"However, bald brothers don't grow such things..."

Seeing the meatball pointing at his own parts, even a heart as big as Lu Xi couldn't help but feel chills all over his body.

Different from other parts that are as smooth as human skin, the granulation buds in the lower half of this weird meat ball are blooming, revealing a bloody mouth with a terrifyingly large diameter, in which sharp and small teeth are densely distributed in the sucker-shaped mouth like a heart circle. In the container, Lu Xi couldn't help but think of the lamprey he had seen before.

If you get sucked into your head by something like this...

Patting his chest in relief, Lu Xi couldn't help but be thankful again for the skills he wanted in Tiamat at that time——

【Beast Intuition (Passive)】

[Intellectual beings will be disturbed by distracting thoughts when fighting, while beasts can tear apart the enemy in front of them just by their intuition.The perception skill taught by the ultimate beast Tiamat is enough to allow you to detect danger when it is impossible to detect it. Although it is only for a moment, for ferocious beasts, this flash of intuition is enough for them to swing their claws . 】

[Effect: No matter whether the perception is limited or the opponent is sneaking, you must be able to detect it before receiving a malicious attack, and there must be a momentary reaction/counterattack time. 】

That's right, in the face of the ultimate violent Tiamat's inquiry, Lu Xi did not ask for strong defense or attack skills, but actively proposed a passive continuous ability that [can be sensed before the attack arrives].The reason is also very simple -

Really unable to stand the visual impact of a monster comparable to a lamprey, Lu Xi looked away and scratched his head:

"Compared to the kind of defense that needs to be activated to produce an effect, I want to sense the attack before it comes, and then activate my invincible time stop."

Chapter 52 Unknown Monster

"However, it is indeed the skill taught by Tiamat."

Looking at the monster frozen in the air by Time Stop, showing an astonishing visual impact, Lu Xi sighed softly:

"Before you are attacked, you must be able to detect it. This is simply a shrunken version of the future vision!"

As a modern person in a peaceful age, Lu Xi's combat awareness can only be said to be at an average level, and besides, he is unwilling to live in that kind of PTSD who is always vigilant against everything.Thinking about it this way, the activation of [Beast's Intuition] and the subsequent reaction were completely done subconsciously by the body, and there should be no skill more suitable for Lu Xi than it.

Attack, defense or dodge can wait for a while and then think slowly, don't worry, don't worry~

"—Having said that, it's not good to stop for a long time in the maze."

Pulling out his iron sword casually, Lu Xi aimed at the undefended fleshy mouth of the meat ball, and stabbed hard.

"Pfft!"

The texture of ordinary meat, pierced by a sword, it should be impossible for this monster to cause any harm to people.

【Luci defeats the unknown monster X1】

Based on the principle of prudence, after reconfirming the description on the adventurer's card, Lu Xi released the time stop.

--------

"be careful!"

Celica, who was the first to notice the dark figure behind Lu Xi, was about to push him away desperately, but suddenly, Lu Xi, who was still facing her just now, turned around and stood there in the posture of drawing the sword .

I, I haven't even blinked my eyes, have I?What's the matter with this feeling of the world dropping frames?

--wrong!Now is not the time to think about that!

Not caring about wiping the tears overflowing from the corners of her eyes, Celica hurriedly walked around in front of Lu Xi, and tightly grasped one of his arms:

"Hey! Weak and weak! Are you all right?"

"Of course it's fine."

Lu Xi swung the tip of his sword, and threw the ball lamprey, who didn't know how to die, onto the deck, and then rubbed Celica's head with a smirk:

"... Well, looking at the proportions, if the target of this thing's surprise attack just now was the short Zorika, I guess you would have been killed in one bite. Fortunately, the target was me--I said, why don't you thank me?"

Ratio, ratio?

Celica, who was still crying just now, subconsciously followed Lu Xi's gaze, and was instantly disgusted by the meat ball lamprey:

"W-how could I be swallowed by this kind of thing?! Ah, I understand, it must have spotted the weakest guy on this boat before pounced on it! Puff puff puff~ It really is weak and weak~ "

Looking at Zorika who started jumping face output in the blink of an eye, a vein appeared on Lu Xi's forehead: "Huh? What did you say——"

"—Okay, that's all for joking."

The thick and steady voice interrupted the small theater between Lu Xi and Celica, knowing that this was not an occasion for joking, Celica made a funny face at Lu Xi, and bounced to find Nana.

Seeing her smiling face in a blink of an eye, Lu Xi chuckled and sighed slightly:

"What a carefree idiot..."

"I think, Lu Xi, you really care about others."

Faron, who had just uttered a word to stop Lu Xi and the two, walked behind him at some point, and said with a soft smile:

"In the face of the concern and worries of the opposite sex, instead of returning to the conventional comfort, instead deliberately causing her dissatisfaction to help her recover from the nervousness of fear - this is the first time I have seen this kind of response, it turns out that Lu Xi is such a gentle person guy!"

"Tsk, President Fallon is meddling in his own business."

Somewhat hurriedly looked away, Lu Xi's side face was a little hot: "Compared to that, it's better to confirm the type of monster first?"

"Right."

Faron's teasing was just out of emotion. As the guild leader, he showed the qualities that a high-level adventurer should have.After a brief investigation, he frowned slightly:

"It's not recorded in the monster manual...Although it's the same as predicted, it's because of this that it makes people feel more disturbed."

There will be mysterious monsters that have never been recorded in some dungeons.The skills and talents he has are unknown, and there is nothing more disgusting for adventurers than this.

Let’s take the attack on the chug rabbits as an example. Anyone who knows them knows that they need to bring equipment or skills to expel abnormalities before setting off. Those who don’t understand their characteristics will have disastrous consequences if they provoke them rashly.

"Since I swung the sword suddenly just now, I didn't encounter its resistance skills."

Recalling the feel of the iron sword piercing, Lu Xi added: "In the defenseless state, it has the same texture of flesh and blood as it looks, and anyone can easily pierce it."

"The problem is that you are talking about [defenseless] situation."

Fallon sighed: "For example, even a high-level knight, even if he doesn't even use passive skills, his body is only a little tougher than ordinary people, but this obviously cannot be used to judge the real quality of this knight. The standard of defense."

The attack that Lu Xi stopped and launched was completely out of specification. The opponent had no chance to use defense at all, and could only rely on physical strength to fight.For President Fallon, who doesn't know the full picture of Lu Xi's abilities, being able to make such a judgment is really worthy of his years of combat experience.

After being silent for a while, Fallon greeted someone behind him:

"Hey! You, come and have a look! Is this the new type of monster you found in the lake?"

"Yes."

The adventurer summoned by Faron looked at the ball lamprey lying limp on the deck, and nodded dully:

"This is the new type of monster I found in the lake."

"His name is Jeter, and he is the one who first discovered the new monster."

Sensing Lu Xi's suspicious gaze, Faron explained casually, then turned around and arranged for the adventurers who were curiously looking this way:

"Listen, the existence of the new monster in the labyrinth has been confirmed! Prepare the equipment again, let's get off the ship!"

Following the order of the guild leader, the adventurers immediately took action.They jumped off the boat one after another and lined up in the cave.

"So."

Kicking the disgusting meatball lamprey corpse on the deck into the water, seeing that Nana and the others have finished preparations, Lu Xi said softly:

"Let's go too."

--------

Different from the [wet] feeling of ordinary caves, as soon as he stepped on the solid ground, Lu Xi felt a dry wind blowing towards his face.

There is obviously an underground lake behind him, why is it two steps away...

Subconsciously looking back, Lu Xi couldn't help but slightly widen his eyes when he saw something.

The ball lamprey, which was still bulging just now, shriveled instantly when it sank into the water, and a large amount of blood escaped from the sucker-shaped mouthparts, as if mocking or cursing something. It was nauseating.

Staring at the water that had been stained reddish by blood, Lu Xi only felt chills.

"Hey! What is this?!"

While Lu Xi was thinking, a loud noise sounded from the front of the cave.

...No, now is not the time to think about that, it would not be wise to separate yourself from the crowd in such an eerie situation.

Lu Xi tightly tightened the iron sword in his hand, and walked to keep up with the pace of the large army.

PS: in?How about some P?

Chapter 53

He hurriedly ran to the entrance of the cave, but Lu Xi couldn't see anything because there were too many people standing there in a daze.

Coincidentally, the pink-haired knight happened to be in the front row. In order to understand what happened, Lu Xi patted him on the shoulder:

"What happened ahead?"

"This, this... I don't know what to say."

Cupid, who was usually cheerful and talkative, turned away in a daze like a rookie investigator who had witnessed something incomprehensible:

"See for yourself."

"What, you're still so mysterious."

Fenmao's ambiguous attitude aroused Lu Xi's curiosity even more. He jokingly tapped Cupid's shoulder and said with a joke:

"Obviously he is an adventurer with a higher level than me, why would he see something new and—"

The irrelevant teasing came to an abrupt end. After seeing the scene outside the cave, even Lu Xi, who was as knowledgeable as he was, felt a little stuck for a while——

"I go."

Contrary to everyone's imagination, what is located at the end of the cave is not a gloomy bone, nor a treacherous and cunning dragon.

Cottage, farmland, garden, swing...

——It was a human village with a peaceful and happy atmosphere, and it looked like a vibrant human village.

---------

Lu Xi once learned a very romantic classical Chinese essay when he was in school.Although with the passage of time, most of the knowledge has been forgotten, but because the scenes depicted in this article are so graphic, Lu Xi still clearly remembers the contents.

"Going back for dozens of steps, it suddenly became clear. The land is flat and the houses look like——beautiful, the ancients did not deceive me."

Staring blankly at the small village in front of him, Lu Xi didn't know what to say for a moment.

Before coming in, everyone was prepared to face the monster and have a bloody battle, but when they saw the peaceful scene in front of them, the gap between expectations and reality made everyone feel like they were dreaming.

Isn't this a maze?We're out now?

"Don't be fooled!"

At this moment, Faron's reminder brought everyone back to their senses: "Don't forget the monster that Lu Xi defeated just now! There is such a thing in the cave, do you think this is a peaceful place? !"

A word to wake up the dreamer, the refreshing and disgusting appearance of the meat ball lamprey instantly made the adventurers cover their mouths, and in addition to being disgusted, they also recalled the fear of being dominated by their mouthparts.

Yes, this is a maze after all.Whether it is a strange space with completely different rules or ecology from the outside world, whatever happens should be accepted with a [common sense] mentality.

At this moment, Celica suddenly pointed in the direction of the village:
