Chapter 48 Monster Siege!? (Seeking recommendations and monthly votes!)
In the enhanced perspective of the Eye of Truth, a huge black and red mushroom-shaped cloud resembled a massive domed warship, blotting out the sky.
With movements like a jellyfish, it constantly squeezes its tentacles and propels itself, treating the sky as an ocean, drifting freely.
The reason it's described as resembling a jellyfish, rather than a real one...
It's because it doesn't have tentacles; instead, it has dozens of pale, human-like arms that struggle outwards constantly, like a drowning person reaching out for help, desperately trying to escape a terrifying hellish prison.
However, this behavior has become the driving force behind the advancement of mushroom clouds.
Moreover, at the center of these arms are several maws covered with sharp teeth, constantly opening and closing, as if devouring plankton and chewing them. Coupled with their enormous size of nearly ten meters, they leave a trail of shadows wherever they go, creating an impact that blots out the sky.
The person with megalophobia fainted on the spot.
Its wandering was not aimless; even from a great distance, Lu Yu could sense the faint hunger emanating from its wriggling teeth.
As it passed through the shadowy path area, all the monsters that couldn't escape in time were frozen in place, their eyes gradually losing color, then they collapsed, their souls floating up like planktonic organisms, hovering around it, only to be swallowed and chewed by its fanged jaws.
The monster corpses were quickly pounced upon, torn apart, and devoured by the other monsters. Although some unlucky ones rushed in too quickly and entered the hunting range prematurely, their souls were also taken away.
While being fed to the mysterious creature above, the flesh and blood nourished the other demons, strengthening their souls and preparing them for the next hunt.
This scene lacked grand battle scenes and dazzling skill effects; instead, it was filled with a chilling stillness.
From a distance,
This has created a twisted and bizarre ecosystem!
Wherever they went, there were only ruins left by natural disasters!
"What on earth is this thing!?"
Lu Yu was shocked, but he did not rush to run away. Going out now would only make him a target. The little spider's spatial teleportation would definitely not be able to escape this guy's pursuit, so the best way was to remain quiet.
Therefore, he could only watch helplessly as the mushroom cloud drifted overhead.
There was nothing unusual!
Just as Lu Yu was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the light in front of him suddenly dimmed, and a chaotic, noisy sound filled his ears:
"I'm so hungry..."
"It hurts...it hurts so much..."
"Why...why didn't you save me..."
"..."
Tens of thousands of souls wailed desperately, their voices overlapping and creating a kind of spiritual impact that eroded Lu Yu's reason. He looked bewildered, as if he were trapped in a quagmire of the mind.
The little spider frowned slightly, and with her keen intuition and the gauze covering her eyes, she easily overcame the sound, but it still made her feel extremely uncomfortable.
"Oh no, we warned him already, how did this fool still fall for it? Wake up!"
The little hamster was already used to the shock and quickly regained its senses. However, when it turned its head and saw the stunned Lu Yu, it hurriedly tried to call out to him through telepathy, but received no response.
Its cute face showed anxiety, but it knew how terrifying that guy was, that he could spread a special magnetic field, and if you weren't careful, you would be affected.
The only way is to lie on the ground, cover your ears, empty your mind, and think of nothing. The more you look at it, the more your emotions fluctuate, and the more you will be drawn into the magnetic field. Then your soul will become dull, and finally, like jelly, it will be cut into pieces and sucked into that huge mushroom cloud to be swallowed up, until it is completely consumed and your physical body becomes an empty shell.
If it weren't for its exceptionally resilient soul and its ability to self-repair, it would have died countless times over.
However, because of the strength of his soul, he was able to see its true form on the first try, and almost died from the pain. It was a case of good fortune and misfortune being intertwined.
The mouse pondered, feeling that if this continued, the freakish cultivator in front of it might have his soul sucked away, leaving him as an empty shell.
Logically speaking, now that this guy is dead, the mouse is free and should be happy.
It hesitated...
"Although this human came knocking on my door without warning, I guess I was also at fault. I shouldn't have scared him first, otherwise I wouldn't have attracted him here... No, it's all the fault of that perverted cultivator. I just thought this timid human gave a good massage, and I couldn't bear to part with a masseur..."
Moreover, the Spider Woman was guarding him, and if the human died, she might kill the rat to vent her anger.
That's right, that's exactly it.
The mouse was only preparing to save him to save its own life!
She just wanted to deceive this human, move him to release her, and then give him a ton of treats, or even go further, trick him into becoming the hamster's personal servant, giving him massages every day. Then she'd make him repent for all the bad things he'd done to the hamster.
"hey-hey……"
Thinking of that bright future, the mouse couldn't help but smile, then suddenly snapped out of it, shook its head, and wiped the drool from its mouth.
"You perverted cultivator, Mouse's here to save you!"
Although its upper body was bound, it didn't stop it. The hamster kicked off with its two short legs and jumped up, its body arcing towards Lu Yu, ready to use the hamster cannon to wake him up.
However, just as it reached mid-air, a hand grabbed it by the scruff of the neck. Before the mouse could even struggle, it saw Lu Yu, who in its eyes was already trapped in the soul's magnetic field and about to have its soul devoured, turn his head and stare at it, teasingly saying:
"Are you... trying to take me down with you?"
He was stunned. Why was this hamster launching a suicide attack?
The mouse stared wide-eyed at Lu Yu, who was completely unharmed, and exclaimed in surprise through telepathy:
"Your soul wasn't corrupted by that guy?"
"erosion?"
Lu Yu seemed to have heard a joke; the corners of his mouth turned up slightly. He didn't say much, but it was the greatest contempt he could feel.
As a man who has faced the forbidden sun without being corrupted and who possesses the forbidden identity of "Shadow of the Ancients," his resistance to soul corruption is already maxed out.
The mysterious soul magnetic field just now was not even a fraction as powerful as the [Forbidden Sun], let alone one ten-thousandth of the mental impact brought by one of the [Beasts].
Sure enough, after it was widened into a broad avenue, small cars came in without any notice, and you could even shout, "I'm going to take on ten of them!"
Although he was in a daze, he kept part of his attention on the silhouette mouse. He thought it was going to run away, but it turned out that it thought it had been caught in a trap and wanted to save him.
"She's so adorably silly..."
Lu Yu murmured softly, recalling the little hamster he bought for 9.9 yuan at the flower and bird market when he first entered the workforce. It helped relieve a lot of his work pressure and helped him get through a difficult time.
Thinking of this, a hint of tenderness flashed in Lu Yu's eyes. Then, amidst strange cries of "No...stop...stop!" and "You ungrateful perverted cultivator!", he continued to rub the chubby, wonderfully soft little hamster, pondering the information that had just made him lose his mind.
【Soul-Stealing Demon Cloud】
【strength:???】
[Racial Potential: ? ?]
【Skill:???】
【describe:???】
This was the first time Lu Yu had encountered a series of question marks since awakening the Eye of Truth.
As for avoiding the sun?
After reading it, I went to the hospital. There was no information. The forbidden curse mark was formed from my own memories.
It's not that the Eye of Truth has weakened, but rather that its use requires the consumption of spiritual energy. The higher the level of the thing, the more spiritual energy it requires, which can be considered a kind of invisible protection.
In other words, the difference in strength between Lu Yu and the Soul-Seizing Demon Cloud was too great. Even if he exhausted his own spiritual power, he could only glean some scattered information about it, which would be a net loss.
However, it can be inferred that it is at least a top-tier overlord, or even a monster above the overlord level.
Lu Yu waited quietly for the Soul-Binding Demon Cloud to leave after it had eaten its fill, only to find that after devouring the souls of hundreds of demons, it did not stop moving, but instead changed direction.
This action made Lu Yu gasp for breath.
Because the direction that the Soul-Binding Demon Cloud was heading was none other than Dayuan City.
Could this be...?
Monster siege?
