Lord of Enigma - Chapter 534

[Chapter 528 Merlin and the Eating Deer (Leader Cang Yueming Plus Update 3)]

Tang Qi has never felt the cold since he became a “furnace wizard”.

On the mysterious side, those monsters that can freeze people’s bodies, or ghosts that freeze their souls, will turn into nothingness under the burning golden flame.

But now, the long-lost feeling hits, and it is even more frightening.

Tang Qi could clearly feel it, and as the “black shadow” came, his thinking became sluggish.

boom!

Without hesitation, in his body, the magic power was much stronger than before entering the “Forest of Blindness”, gushing out like a tide.

Sure enough, in Tang Qi’s perception, some invisible things seemed to be burnt clean.

The normal feeling replaced the cold.

But soon, a new sense of strangeness emerged.

In front of him, in the last second, the strange black shadow was still in the distance, walking slowly towards Tang Qi.

After Tang Qi blinked, he suddenly found that it appeared in front of him.

A few steps away, in front of the dead tree, stood a terrifying deer.

It has a strong, lean body, thick hooves, and treads on icy gravel, but from the neck, the flesh disappears, and it is replaced by a human-only vertebra, with slender red nerves hanging down.

The vertebrae are connected to the upper body of a human. The skin is dry and white, and it is tightly attached to the bones. A pair of arms are naturally vertical, and the top of its head is a pair of crossed, extended, majestic and mighty antlers.

its face?

No, it has no face, it seems to be a bone mask, and in the center is a vertical pupil that is slowly opening.

Tang Qi was about to look at him when suddenly his heart froze, and a strong premonition of danger exploded.

Subconsciously, he wanted to close his eyes or look elsewhere, and in an instant, he thought of Amanda in his arms, and she had woken up.

Tang Qi secretly said, “No,” and was about to remind her, or directly use the “Body Control Spell” to take control of Amanda’s body to prevent her from getting involved in unknown dangers.

Amanda’s voice of panic and worry also came at this time.

“Quick, close your eyes!”

“Back to the forest.”

Without hesitation, Tang Qi followed Amanda’s advice.

Although he has information left by Ralph, Ralph’s information is too outdated compared to the native Amanda of this world.

To be precise, if he really followed the “clearance method” left by Ralph, he would have died long ago in Pig’s territory.

Ralph entered this world for the first time that year, and although he encountered some dangers, it was all the kind of small troubles that could not threaten his life.

The rest of his encounters were dreamlike.

If it were written as a book, it could definitely be included in the category of “children’s books”.

It doesn’t take much effort, Tang Qi only needs to jump back slightly, and the feeling of softness reappears under his feet. After the familiar smell of the burning fuel of the furnace’s magic power penetrated into his nose, Tang Qi turned around and opened it again. eyes.

Ahead, there are embers, dust and black smoke drifting away again.

In his arms, Amanda also opened her eyes at this time.

For the first time, Tang Qi saw a look of horror in her eyes. She had never changed her face when faced with crazy fairies and long-haired demons.

Obviously, the deer that came out of the “dark plain” was more terrifying than both.

“That thing, what is it?”

Because the time was too fast, Tang Qi’s special ability also failed to capture enough pieces of information, so he directly asked Amanda who obviously knew.

After having a “sleeping dream”, the girl’s spirit was obviously much better.

The lost vitality seems to have recovered some.

Only the bloody leg needed time, so she didn’t forcefully get down from Tang Qi’s arms this time.

She resisted looking at the dark plain, let out a breath, then opened her mouth and spit out a name:

“The Deer of Eating, that is a… Deer of Eating!”

Three words that made people feel weird came out of her mouth, which seemed to bring back many bad memories.

There was a sad look on her face.

Amanda did not continue to explain the deer, but told some stories first.

“When the world just started to fall, there were not a lot of existences like me, Tyron, and Mura, even more than fallen creatures. At that time, we realized that something was wrong and wanted to re-enter Debo. Pull the town, go save the mother, save the world.”

“But at that time, Doomsday Volcano, Dark Plain, Forest of Ignorance… These places have already appeared, and they have squeezed all nodes off the top of the mountain. The monsters in every place seem to restrain us. We have failed several times in our adventures. already.”

“Although after death, we will be reborn, but every time we die, not only will our memory be emptied, but also the power to resist pollution will be reduced.”

“When we came up, at least half of the monsters we encountered were our partners a long time ago.”

“Actually, before you came, one of us almost re-entered Deborah Town… But in the end, Grandpa Merlin was rejected by his mother. All we know about the forest of ignorance and the dark plain In fact, it was passed on to us by Grandpa Merlin.”

“Before him, none of us could break through the corpse’s territory.”

Having said that, Amanda paused.

Glancing at the isolated dark plain, he continued: “Grandpa Merlin told us that there may be some tricks to deal with the ignorant living corpses, but to cross the dark plain, you cannot use any skills, and even use skills to attract people. something scarier.”

“Deer deer, or other monsters, they are neither life nor ghosts, they are something called ‘the embodiment of desire’.”

Amanda, seeming to be immersed in memories, is completely relaying the information obtained from a wise man to Tang Qi.

“No one knows how vast the dark plain is, only that there is the most bizarre and terrifying weather inside, storms, lightning, ice and snow… It may be switched in a few seconds. In this extremely harsh environment, there will be some terrible things. desire manifests itself.”

“They are not afraid of any attack, whether it is physical or magic. They seem to be unable to think like humans, but they are extremely cunning. They will not fight the intruder fairly unless it is confirmed that the intruder is extremely weak.”

“Most of the time, they just do sneak attacks.”

“Once you are confused by the embodiment of desire, no matter how powerful the existence is, it will sink in the darkness.”

Complicated and vague information spewed out of Amanda’s mouth.

Her retelling sounds a lot, but it doesn’t involve much substance.

Except for the name “Merlin”, Tang Qi’s brows jumped.

Although the world is completely different, one or two can be inferred from those encountered on the giant mountain before, and sometimes the name can also represent something.

“Merlin, is the most powerful and wisest of the uncontaminated creatures like Amanda.”

“He got through all the levels but was rejected in the end.”

“Regarding the Dark Plain, the monsters called ‘Deer of Eating’ are the embodiment of desire. They are not afraid of physical or spiritual attacks. They are neither life nor soul… That is to say, it is very likely that None of my methods can work, even if it is a trial, you must first have a soul.”

“By coincidence, it will attract more terrifying monsters… It means that if I use Diana, instead of protecting me and Amanda from passing through, it will attract more terrifying manifestations of desire?”

These thoughts flashed through Tang Qi’s mind.

He frowned, looked at Amanda, and asked, “The deer of food, the desire represented by appetite?”

“No, or not quite.”

“Grandpa Merlin said that desires are complex, and they are embodied in the dark plain. There is rarely a single desire. They are always entangled. There is only one way to get through there.”

Amanda shook her head and immediately denied Tang Qi’s conjecture.

Before he could continue to ask, Amanda revealed the answer:

“Only those who hold on to their beliefs can look directly at desires in the dark.”

Hearing this sonorous and powerful sentence, Tang Qi was silent.

This kind of adage really sounds a lot like those children’s books used by old people to fool young and middle-school idiots.

Just when Tang Qi complained, Amanda suddenly remembered something and continued: “By the way, Grandpa Merlin also said that if you can kill a desire embodiment, it will drop some treasures, which can increase our ability to pass the doomsday. The odds of a volcano.”

“Killing monsters and dropping treasures… The next level… It’s more like a game of warriors fooling middle-school 2-year-olds.”

Tang Qi suddenly felt very difficult. This should be the first time he felt that all the powers he possessed seemed to be ineffective.

If that “Merlin” didn’t lie, it meant that the monsters called “Embodied Desires” spread all over the dark plains, and almost eliminated all superhuman beings.

At other times, Tang Qi might not believe it.

But just now, he had seen the “Deer of Eating” with his own eyes. The strange and cold taste did give Tang Qi an extremely dangerous feeling.

The most important thing is that, according to Merlin, the deer of eating is not the most terrifying “desire” in the dark plain.

Taking a breath, Tang Qi thought of something, looked directly at Amanda, and asked without hesitation.

“Where did Merlin go after being rejected?”

Tang Qi’s abrupt question made Amanda suddenly fall into silence.

The color of sadness intensified.

He didn’t ask, just waited quietly, although Tang Qi had already guessed something from Amanda’s reaction.

After a while, Amanda calmed down.

She raised her head, looked at Tang Qi with an unprecedented trusting gaze, and immediately said:

“Grandpa Merlin, after he was rejected by his mother, he passed all the information to us, and then…he jumped into Mount Doom. That night we heard a terrible roar and saw a terrible shadow reflected from the volcano.”

“Taron said that Grandpa Merlin… has fallen!”
