Watley said:
"The Lansat Ruins are very close to the entrance to the Sealed Land, and are definitely a key area of concern for all parties. Therefore, your request is very difficult. At most, only two of us can go there, otherwise we will definitely be noticed. And this is assuming that you cannot cause too much noise in the Lansat Ruins."
"Can't we take Xi with us?" Du Yuqi said with an unpleasant expression.
Watley shook her head and said simply:
"No, if the two of us go, there's an 80% chance of not being discovered. With Xi in, it's only a 30% chance."
Du Yuqi sighed. Places like the ruins were mostly filled with evil monsters. So for Xi, who had mastered many light-related skills and had innate restraint, fighting them was particularly easy. Moreover, he hadn't had the opportunity to be alone with Xi for a long time. In front of everyone, Xi was always cold and never spoke to anyone, which made Du Yuqi very uncomfortable. Therefore, Du Yuqi might have wanted to take the opportunity to get closer to her at this time. However, Watley's answer shattered his idea of abusing his power for personal gain.
"Okay." Du Yuqi said helplessly: "When do we take action?"
Watley thought for a moment and said:
"Are there any special time requirements for you to enter the Lansat ruins?"
Du Yuqi shook his head and said:
"No, as long as you bring the token, you can go anytime."
Watley said:
"Okay, I'll make the arrangements now, and our departure time will be the moment you feel thirsty and go to drink some water, how about that?"
"It's the moment when I feel thirsty and drink water?" Du Yuqi's heart moved slightly:
"This is disordered time, right? In order to prevent others from finding patterns in some habitual daily life, why not just adopt this disordered method in the time of action? In this way, since there is a clear target to choose, it is impossible for people to grasp the pattern. Even a traitor cannot send out the message in time, because no matter how smart the traitor is, it is impossible for him to know something that he himself cannot accurately determine."
Watley said:
"Perhaps this is what your world calls it, but this method is quite common in the world of fortune tellers, used to circumvent the enemy's predictions."
…
An hour later, Du Yuqi sat at the table and said with a smile:
"I'm thirsty."
Then he picked up the yellow ceramic bowl with water grass patterns on it and gulped down the liquid in it.
This is a common herbal tea in Cantewin. It is made from goat's milk yogurt, cool vitex fruit, and coconut meat. Every morning, housewives will boil a large pot of it and let it cool. Finally, the more particular families will add a few drops of black tequila in it.
Watley, who was carrying a small bag, nodded calmly and said:
"Okay, let's go."
Then she took Du Yuqi up the stairs next to them and came to the roof of their residence. At this time, the sky had become completely dark, and the stars in the sky were twinkling. It could be said that the weather was very clear. The heat from the sun during the day was re-radiated from the wall tiles bit by bit, and the night breeze made people feel particularly comfortable.
After arriving on the roof, Du Yuqi found that a blanket had been laid here at some point, and it didn't look like there was anything special. However, Watley took out a Nai from her waist. This thing was similar to a flute made of bamboo or reed tubes, and it sounded soft and melodious when played.
As Nai's voice rang out, Du Yuqi's eyes widened in surprise, because the blanket spread on the roof was slowly floating up! Then it came to the position of her thighs and stopped rising.
"Is this... a magic carpet?" Du Yuqi asked in surprise.
Watley quickly stood on the magic carpet, then sat cross-legged, and then signaled with her eyes. Du Yuqi naturally stepped onto the blanket as well, and then saw the blanket fly into the air very steadily.
At the same time, the magic carpet seemed to be wrapped in an invisible cover, and the wind became very gentle. Du Yuqi looked downwards again and immediately discovered that the bottom of the magic carpet facing the ground had turned black velvet. In other words, if someone looked up from below, they would see the magic carpet blending into the night sky, and it would be difficult to detect the trick.
With the help of the magic carpet, the two quickly flew out of the city and finally landed in the woods at the end of Shell Avenue.
The magic carpet was obviously driven by Watley's music, so only when the magic carpet stopped flying could Watley speak, and then said:
"The chaotic power emanating from the front has reached a certain concentration. The magic carpet can't get any closer. Let's land here. Now you understand why we can't bring more people with us, right? For every extra person I bring, I have to consume more magic power. The greater the fluctuation of magic power emitted, the higher the chance of being discovered."
Du Yuqi nodded. When he was flying in the air before, he had seen a large number of ambushes and secret sentries. If he went by the ground, he would almost certainly be targeted. Only by using the magic carpet to sneak in from the air could he come and go without a trace.
Watley held the crystal ball in the woods and meditated for a while to restore her magic power, and then the two started again. At this time, Du Yuqi naturally put on his night vision goggles, but even with the help of night vision goggles, the atmosphere in the wilderness was particularly gloomy.
"The Lansat ruins are in this direction." Watley walked ahead, holding the crystal ball in her hand. Du Yuqi also wanted to give her a pair of night vision goggles, but was rejected.
After walking four or five hundred meters on a fork in the road, the two found that there were three or four danger signs along the way. The last sign even had the words "Hell ahead" written on it. The road under their feet had turned into a narrow path. There was a faint smell in the air, just like the fishy smell of a wild animal. Watley suddenly stopped at this time, and then a few waves appeared on the crystal ball. She was silent for a while and said to Du Yuqi:
"A monster appeared fifty meters ahead. It should be a dark creature."
Du Yuqi nodded, then walked forward quickly, holding the weapon and walking slowly. He saw that the place was full of jagged rocks and jagged Gobi stone piles everywhere. There was also a kind of shrub similar to red willow and saxaul. It looked sparse, but it actually blocked the vision when walking. There were also white bones appearing from time to time among the stone piles, and he could smell bursts of fishy odors in his nose. They should be rotten corpses that were transported here and discarded at will.
The monster in front was clearly in front of him. It was a zombie, staring blankly at a tree.
Du Yuqi had no intention of alarming it, so he and Watley took a detour and gradually began to move forward. Thanks to Watley's "radar" ability along the way, otherwise Du Yuqi would be exhausted if he came alone even if he could defeat these undead creatures.
Suddenly, a puddle-like thing appeared in front of them, about two to three square meters in size. The liquid in the puddle shone with a metallic luster, still shining an eerie glow in the darkness, and moved towards the two of them slowly and quickly, probably in the way a snake walks, close to the ground.
Suddenly, when the two were about 20 to 30 meters away, several balls of liquid suddenly spurted out from the "puddle", and quickly twisted and transformed into long and thin stingers in the air. They were very sharp, and then shot straight at Du Yuqi and the other man. Du Yuqi was prepared, and swung his sword to cut off the flying stingers. They fell on the rocks next to him, clinking, and then turned into the sticky and strange liquid again.
However, this puddle-like thing was moving very quickly, and had already approached within ten meters. Then the area of the puddle was seen shrinking rapidly, and a humanoid monster stood up from it. The monster looked like a rotten corpse with its skin peeled off, which was very scary, but there was a very obvious metallic luster on the surface of its body, and the overall color was purple-black. A heart-stirring roar came from its black mouth. It seemed to be walking on its two feet, but in fact there was still a small puddle under its feet, and it was dragging forward at a not slow speed.
Watley looked delicate and dainty, and it was hard to see how close combat she was. Du Yuqi could only draw his sword and fight her. However, even though this monster was unarmed, Du Yuqi found it very difficult to deal with. Every time his sword chopped into her body, it seemed to cause heavy damage to the enemy, but in fact it felt like cutting into mud. It took a lot of effort to pull the weapon out again, and he had to prevent the flying gunpowder from falling on him...
The most frustrating thing was that after Du Yuqi pulled out the weapon, the wounds on the monster's body slowly re-sticked together and healed together, as if his effort was completely in vain. Du Yuqi then chose to attack its fingers and other parts, but after the severed fingers fell to the ground, they would quickly move towards the body, be absorbed, and then grow back.
In addition, the smell of this monster is also extremely lethal, and Du Yuqi just needs to force herself not to vomit it out.
In this situation, Du Yuqi really had a feeling of being helpless and missed Xilai again. This dark monster was instantly reduced to ashes by a single shot from her mind cannon. She saw several "puddles" approaching rapidly in the distance, and it seemed like she had to fight one against the other.
