Looking at the dog in front of me.

The phantom blinked in disbelief, making sure it wasn't seeing things.

This is clearly just an ordinary black and white dog with slightly rough fur, looking like it hasn't been bathed in a long time and hasn't mated...

Could it be...?

Is it a wolf?

The phantom was so frightened by this thing that it was almost too scared to move.

That shouldn't be the case...

With his master-level concealment skills, he would not leave any odor or trace.

Neither wolves nor dogs could possibly spot him...

The illusory figure seemed somewhat bewildered, yet also shocked.

but....

After staring at the peacefully sleeping dog for a while...

The illusory figure's worries gradually wavered.

What if the dog was simply sleepwalking?

Although the possibility seemed far-fetched, the phantom still didn't quite believe that a mere dog could see through its most prized stealth technique.

A while later.

The dog started snoring and blowing snot bubbles.

The phantom finally raised its leg to face the dog.

Slowly backing away.

Step by step, keeping a close eye on it!

The dog showed no reaction whatsoever to my leaving.

Could it be...?

Was it really sleepwalking?

The phantom nervously licked its lips.

Then, turn around quickly.

Holy crap!!!

A chorus of exclamations erupted and echoed for a long time in the empty hall.

The phantom was so frightened that it sat down on the ground.

because....

Surprisingly, another dog was lying peacefully behind him.

So close!

The grotesque figure, terrified, covered its mouth tightly and dared not move again.

a long time.

Seeing that the main hall had returned to silence, and that the human lord had not been awakened from his mental labyrinth.

The rapidly beating heart of the phantom gradually calmed down.

However, looking at the peaceful dog before him, the phantom finally realized what was going on. Could it be... that this wasn't actually a dog, but some other kind of eeriness?

A strange phenomenon where, once you've seen someone, they'll always appear behind you whenever you turn around?

Or rather...

Is it true that if you leave someone's sight, you're bound to get closer to their eeriness?

The phantom felt it had grasped the truth.

It couldn't possibly be that the dog ran over and pretended to be asleep the moment I turned around, could it?

What kind of dog is that bored...?

Even if there were dogs that bored, there wouldn't be any that fast...

However, even after guessing the truth, the phantom was somewhat helpless.

Assuming it is truly bizarre, then over time, if some condition is triggered, it is almost certain death.

Although we don't know which condition it is, at least one thing is known.

We absolutely have to keep an eye on this dog!

But how can you find the core of a wonder if you're just staring at a dog?

Damn it....

The phantom cursed inwardly.

The undead race, why are they carrying around such eerie creatures all the time? Aren't they afraid of the creatures turning against them...?

Well....

The phantom suddenly realized what was happening.

Since humans have chosen to keep the supernatural with them, how do they keep an eye on it? Surely they can't keep an eye on it themselves?

Instantly, scenes of entering the main hall flashed through the illusory figure's mind.

Finally, the image freezes on that green slime, which was lying beneath the throne alongside the eerie dog.

"Phew!"

"I understand. That human lord must have been using low-level slimes to keep an eye on this strange dog. Strange things can't be controlled, but slimes can."

"Now that the human lord is trapped in the mental labyrinth, the slime has escaped control, diverting attention and allowing the strange dog to be released!"

The more they analyzed it, the brighter the phantom's eyes shone.

"Ah... my intelligence is still so sharp..."

"Just like that, he saw through everything easily."

The phantom shook its head, then regained its confidence.

Now that we understand the cause and effect, the solution to the problem is quite simple.

Whether the slime has shifted its gaze or fallen asleep, all you need to do is get it to stare at the dog again!

Thinking of this.

The phantom stared at the dog before it, then slowly retreated back towards the throne.

Given the nature of slimes, they rarely wander off, so they're definitely still under the throne!

One step, then another...

Sure enough, the strange dog didn't react at all while I was watching it.

This made the phantom's steps even faster.

After all, no one knows when the human lord will die in the labyrinth.

Once the human lord dies.

At that time.

The competition for this building, which is suspected to be a miracle of destiny, is extremely fierce.

Therefore, we still need to find the core of the wonder before the human lord dies.

Exploring...

Exploring...

Keep exploring...

Unable to turn around, the phantom could only stare at the dog, reaching behind it with its hand.

finally....

The phantom touched the hard, solid throne.

If nothing unexpected happens, slimes should also be under the throne.

So the phantom reached down the throne, trying to touch the lazy slime.

Touching and touching...

Strange, where did it go?

......

On the Black Rock Throne.

Li Qingyu, who had just awakened from the mental labyrinth, looked at the large blue buttocks sticking out beneath his throne and groping around, and was somewhat speechless.

What's going on here?

The Tauros civilization's sneak attack was at least a psychological attack. They exploited their weakest attribute besides intelligence.
