Mystery: Start with the Reader

Abner said when we first met that "full moon mumblings" can only be solved by praying to the gods for protection... And after traveling together for such a long time, my state during the full moon could not be hidden from him at all... He must know that I believe in something A "great being"... It is even possible that he has guessed that it is Mr. Fool.

After hearing the third point in Abner's words, Forsi's face suddenly showed a sly smile,

But Mr. "The Fool" does not allow members of the Tarot Club to reveal His name without His permission... And Abner also has the support of a great being behind him, and he is also a person favored by the gods... It is unlikely that Mr. "The Fool" will ask him …

Just when Forsi was thinking wildly and didn't know how to answer, Abner chuckled and said gently: "You don't have to worry about it. I don't mean to go into details. I am just stating a possibility."

In fact, he also considered the fourth scenario, that is, the layout here was actually for him... But after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was impossible.

Russell or Benjamin obviously made the layout through Fors. Even if the senior traveler mentioned Fors to Russell, it would have been impossible for him to be sure that I would definitely meet with Fors more than a hundred years ago. Ersi becomes a friend...

While his thoughts were spinning, Abner heard Forsi hesitate and say: "Abner, I'm sorry... There are some things I don't want to tell you... but I can't..."

"I understand." Abner smiled, showing that he didn't care. Just when he was about to comfort Forsi, he suddenly realized that there was danger brewing in the darkness outside the firelight.

Was something attracted to the fire? Abner frowned, but was not too nervous. After all, the Thunderbird and the official Beyonders could survive for nearly twenty years, which meant that even if there was danger in the ruins, it was within his acceptable range.

However, to be cautious, Abner quickly condensed four colors of pale, pure black, light blue, and golden flames in addition to the previous red fireball.

The red ones are the high-temperature flames of the "Hunter" path, burning and destroying all entities;

What is pale is the pale flame of the "Corpse Collector" pathway, which plunges all living beings into death;

The pure black "witch" path of black flames ignites all spiritual things;

The light blue is the "hell and brimstone flames" of the "demon" path, corroding the body and soul of living beings;

The golden one is the "light fire" of the "sun" path, which can dispel evil and purify evil spirits.

At this moment, the fireballs condensed from the five flames flew together, spinning around Abner and Forsi like satellites.

"What kind of ability is this?" Forsi leaned next to Abner in a tacit understanding. Seeing this gorgeous scene, his eyes sparkled and he asked curiously.

"This is my newly developed secret technique. It integrates offense and defense, plus the special abilities of different fireballs. It is enough to deal with most enemies...

"Speaking of which, I built a model of this secret technique when I was a 'Erutologist', but I have never been able to solve the 'balance' problem... But yesterday I was studying Bi... Well, I was working on a project Inspired by the research, I decided to use the highest-level 'Pale Flame' as the core to control the other flames. Only then did they successfully establish a balance and the secret technique was completed."

Abner explained casually while observing the situation in the darkness.

You don’t need to explain so many principles, I don’t understand... Just talk about the effects... Forsi complained a few words in his mind, and then saw a large number of rotten ones with only their heads and legs left with some pieces of flesh. Living corpses surrounded him from all directions.

At the same time, various strange undead spirits jumped down from the sky.

Without waiting for them to get closer, the fireballs hovering around Abner and Forsi took the lead in attacking!

Fireballs shot out like cannonballs, instantly causing the ground around them to explode! However, the fireballs hovering around Abner did not decrease, because at the moment of shooting, new fireballs had condensed, seemingly endless.

Living corpses have no souls, and the black flames are useless to them, but a large number of them soon fell under the constant bombardment of red fireballs.

As for those "dead spirits", they were also destroyed by the fire of the sun...

"These monsters are only visually scary, and are not much stronger than ordinary people in reality...especially those living corpses, which move extremely slowly. Even if you are not an extraordinary person, you can easily get rid of them as long as you overcome your fear and escape before they encircle you. .

"Those undead souls don't have any special abilities, they don't even know the basic 'scream'..."

Abner, who had put a lot of protection on himself and Forsi, only felt that he was fighting against the air, but he did not remove the protection because of this, and instead thought about the living corpses and undead. origin:

"They should all be the 'subjects' of this ruins, or the Roselle Mausoleum, but after the mausoleum was destroyed, most of them died immediately and turned into these monsters in front of them... Forsi's first few days The reason why she didn't encounter them when she came in for the first time was probably because she didn't really enter the dream ruins at that time, didn't exude the breath of a living person, and didn't create any light...

"But there is a problem here. Judging from the size of this city-state, there will not be too many people, at most a thousand people. Excluding some 'survivors', it is estimated to be even less...

"But the monsters attracted to me are similar to this number!

"Have the official Beyonders been here for nearly twenty years and not cleaned them up? This is unreasonable!

"Unless these living corpses and undead spirits are not really killed and can regenerate after a period of time..."

Just when Abner thought of this, an eagle's cry suddenly came from the sky, and then silvery white suddenly appeared, and dozens of dazzling lightning struck down on his head!

This was obviously the three-eyed thunderbird trapped in the ruins that followed the firelight and found it. At this moment, its three eyes were all blood red, showing an unstoppable "greedy" emotion.

——This "world" is on the verge of destruction, and food is extremely scarce. The Thunderbird, which can only survive on fungi, is so eager for meat!

As expected, you were the first to come! Abner sighed. He had already expected Thunderbird's robbery behavior. The reason why he just used the "Five Fires" secret technique that looked flashy but was only as powerful as it was was because he deliberately showed weakness and planned to fish out this person. The dangers lurk in the ruins.

The most ideal result is naturally to seduce what Russell or Benjamin left behind. Then through "analysis" and "decryption", we can figure out what is going on here, without risking any more exploration.

But now that this thunderbird has come out to disrupt the situation, it is obvious that the best situation is impossible to achieve...

Fortunately, this stupid bird was Forsi's target in the first place, so it wasn't a loss.

While sighing in his heart, Abner gently touched the mirror on his sleeves. Then the lightning bolts seemed to have lost their target, hit the ground, disintegrated into countless tiny electric snakes, and moved towards the surrounding people. The living corpse jumped away.

At the same time, Abner pushed out his right hand and solemnly declared in ancient Hermetic language:

"Flying is prohibited here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Three-Eyed Thunderbird felt that its wings seemed to be hung with invisible things that were ten times and a hundred times its weight. No matter how it flapped or gathered strong winds, it was of no avail. It could only let its body move toward The ground slid away.

It had never encountered such a situation before. In the long-term starvation state, its half-crazy brain actually short-circuited, and the whole bird became at a loss. For a while, it even forgot to attack.

“Bribery-Charm!

"Battle Hypnosis!"

Using these two abilities, Abner successfully brought the three-eyed thunderbird into his preset rhythm. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and then he controlled the five types of fireballs hovering around, and launched a continuous attack on the thunderbird that was still falling. Absolute bombardment.

Soon, amid mournful cries, the three-eyed thunderbird, which was close to the Sequence 5 level, reluctantly ended its life.

For today's Abner, this mid-level extraordinary creature with a single method and low IQ is no longer an opponent. He can easily kill it without even using the demigod-level extraordinary items in his hand. .

But at this time, a dry female voice suddenly came from the darkness: "You can actually kill that thunderbird?!"
