After his discomfort subsided slightly, the blind man spoke:
"My lord, the abyssal monsters are very difficult to kill. They move very fast, and you can't look them in the eye during battle. Even the wielder of 'Great Power' requires four or five people to kill them. Your idea of using 'All-Perception' is truly a bold and ingenious one!"
Li Changzhou wasn't one to enjoy flattery, except when Yang Qinglan genuinely praised him.
The Black Hand retrieved the corpse of the monster that was about to fall into the abyss.
The black hand dissolved into liquid, and the darkness began to envelop the monster, as if it were being touched to the bone or undergoing a full-body scan.
The dim light blurred into a ball of light, and Yang Qinglan's figure began to distort. Li Changzhou immediately stopped!
boom!
The black box went out of control and plummeted downwards before coming to a stop.
"What's wrong?" Yang Qinglan steadied herself and quickly stepped forward to support him.
Li Changzhou felt as if he had been hit by ten thousand heavy sniper bullets in a second, and his vision went blurry.
"It's alright." He took a deep breath. "It's not just visual; as long as the monster's appearance is clear and accurate in your mind, you'll be infected, but this infection..."
At this point, Li Changzhou seemed to be deep in thought.
"Um?"
"That 'hmm?' tone is cute; it might even counteract the monster's infection."
"......"
"Well, I can't explain it clearly right now. We'll study it again after the mission is over, my abilities are restored, and I have more magic power."
Li Changzhou also considered submitting the mission directly and then using teleportation to arrive at this planet.
But there are too many unknown variables. Will the magic power cause a sudden change in the abyss? Could there be some kind of barrier on this planet that would block teleportation?
He dared not take the risk.
This mission is crucial to whether or not the 'Ancient God Curse' can be broken.
Using 'great power' is the safest option, as it won't cause any unnecessary accidents, and besides, it's not like the mission is impossible to complete.
The black solution that was removed from the monster solidified into a black nail in mid-air. A black hand silently picked up the nail and slowly pierced it into the monster's body.
Li Changzhou waited, and the eerie feeling did indeed surge up again, but because the contact area was small, it was still within his tolerance range.
Several more black nails were fired until the monster could be controlled; Li Changzhou had reached his limit.
If another black nail is inserted, or if the monster's head is still there, he will definitely be infected, develop cognitive impairment of the world, and the world will also develop cognitive impairment of him, and he will turn into a monster.
"There's no hope for an army of monsters; I can only control one," he said.
“My lord,” the blind man advised, “the abyss is too quiet. Moving around too much will attract monsters, and if multiple monsters appear at the same time, the situation will be very dangerous.”
During a mission, one must be bold when necessary and cautious when appropriate. Besides, Li Changzhou's goal was not to hunt monsters, so he readily accepted the blind man's advice.
Four legs extended from each side of the black box, like spiders, silently walking step by step toward the abyss.
Although the movement speed is slow, considering that the elevator-style descent would be attacked by monsters, the spider-style movement might be faster and safer.
Even so, they still encountered four zombie attacks and one abyss monster attack along the way.
This time, the abyss monster attacked from a great distance, using eerie sonic waves from the shadows.
Li Changzhou and Yang Qinglan found nothing until they heard a faint murmur, but still found nothing. It was only when the blind man opened his eyes that they realized what the monster was.
"Three hundred breaths later, we were eaten! But we didn't die!" The blind man stared intently into the future.
"Down there?" A fifteen-meter-long spear suddenly surged from the bottom of the black box.
"The future has not changed..." the blind man said solemnly.
Li Changzhou frowned slightly. The next moment, spears emerged from all five sides of the black box, except for the side that was pressed against the ice wall.
"The monster's been hurt!" the blind man suddenly cried out. "It's on the left!"
"The left side?" Li Changzhou and Yang Qinglan exchanged a glance.
They were descending, how could it have been the spear from the left that hit them...?
Only then did I suddenly realize what that harmless murmur was!
Their perception was changed without them even realizing it, from descending to moving to the left!
If an ordinary adventurer, or even a holder of 'great power,' encounters this monster, they will only face certain death, being devoured in their ignorance.
Of course, even if Li Changzhou didn't have the blind man's 'seeing the future,' because he was always in a black box, he could still fight back even if he was eaten.
But this did not make the two relax; on the contrary, it made them even more vigilant—what if the monster that appears next uses sound waves to destroy the brain directly?
Or, could one become invisible, penetrate the black box, and appear directly inside it?
The abyss, besides being deep, has another terrifying aspect: the unknown.
During the descent, no one knows what they will encounter.
Knowing the monster's abilities, Li Changzhou did not dodge. The spear on the left side of the black box transformed into a human hand, which held a 'human skin'.
After 193 breaths, the black hand pressed on some object, and together with the original one, the flame of the kerosene lamp began to move away from Li Changzhou again. He felt as if he had fallen into a dark, deep sea, and the sun was getting smaller and smaller on the surface of the sea.
Bang!
The sound of flesh and blood exploding.
He regained consciousness, and his head suddenly began to buzz. The blind man seemed to be shouting something excitedly.
Two seconds later, the buzzing sound, like the distant whistle of a cruise ship, faded further and further from his ears.
"I don't know if it speaks through its head. If not, this monster is more useful than the first one," Li Changzhou said with a smile.
"Give it a try." Yang Qinglan was also very interested. She was currently unable to perceive the outside world in detail and did not notice his abnormality.
