Chapter 970: The Screaming Incident at the Mountain of Subjugating Demons
"Master Ruota, you want me to wear women's clothes, right? Master, I will turn into Eula in a minute and remember this grudge!"
On the second attempt, the first layer of sealing runes was purchased, but a mistake occurred when building the second layer, causing the entire layer to explode, and the Giant Shadow Sculpture heard another scream.
If the pain was unchanged, Gu Sanqiu might be able to endure it, but this kind of pain would continue to deepen, and even the torture instruments might change.
On the third attempt, Gu Sanqiu changed his idea and constructed some small seals, using nested connections through formations, hoping to take advantage of the situation.
Failed again.
…
No.——
Um?
How many times has this happened?
The giant shadow eagle suddenly froze, because he couldn't remember how many times the boss had tried this. The sound of screaming in pain had numbed his entire eagle.
Or maybe he had shouted so many times that he had lost count.
Although less than a week had passed, Gu Sanqiu was living in dire straits every second.
Whenever he was numb with pain, the black boss would always fight with the seal, as if he was jumping up and down with a brand new method to tell Gu Sanqiu that it was too early.
Then came the intense pain that broke through the numbness.
It was already very strange that he screamed in pain, because even Gu Sanqiu himself didn't know exactly what posture the black boss would use to cause him pain.
As the tone of the screams changed, Gu Sanqiu, who was originally sitting cross-legged on the ground and at least had the demeanor of a normal practitioner, would always change his posture unconsciously.
It was like a mentally handicapped puppeteer was manipulating his body to dance.
Of course, it is also possible that he was electrocuted.
The giant shadow eagle looked into the distance, where there was a team of five people, all wearing dark green exploration clothing . They were an exploration team trained within the Adventurer's Association.
I'm here today specifically to investigate the "Mount Subduing Demons Scream Incident". If it can be solved, I'll do it on the spot. If the time is not right or it can't be solved, I'll go back and place an order.
These days, in addition to some herbalists, caravans passing by nearby also heard screams coming from the depths of the valley.
As an intelligence department, they are specifically here to "collect materials on the ground". If they are to receive a commission, they cannot be careless in maintaining their own credibility.
These days, the discussion about the "Screaming Incident at the Mountain of Subduing All Demons" has become increasingly heated, and some curious people who heard the news have come all the way from the city to watch the fun.
The key point is that when everyone talked about it, they were all very sure that they heard screams, but they also had arguments about the sound and appearance. Many of them even gambled with tonight's wine money.
Some people say that a huge monster broke out from the colossus in the ruins. The screams we heard were actually the monster venting its dissatisfaction to the sky, and at the same time announcing its return to humans.
Some people also brought up history, saying that a bard from Mondstadt and a musician from Fontaine once visited Xumi because they were interested in the history and topography of Mount Subduing Demons, but unfortunately died on the way.
What is even more unfortunate is that the victims did not die immediately, but lay in one place with wounds all over their bodies, quietly waiting for their death. The screams were their wails before death.
There was an even more outrageous person who boasted that he had ventured into the interior of the Mountain of Subduing Demons and saw a large number of terrifying monsters hanging humans on totem poles and subjecting them to terrible punishments.
Because there were so many people, only the sounds from deep in the valley could reach their ears.
Later, this person was taken away by the relevant departments on patrol on the grounds of spreading rumors and undermining social stability.
Finally, more and more people spoke up, and a prospective scholar who had already been admitted to the Institute of the Church of God collected information over time and made a statistics. The truth of the recent controversy was finally revealed.
Everyone then believed a fact, that is, they were not mistaken, the screams in the valley were indeed changing.
Then it got even hotter.
Some acquaintances would even make bets on this kind of thing, betting on what style of music the screams would be tomorrow. Those who are more adventurous would even stay nearby and bet on the next scream.
From the perspective of universal rationality, the incense burner who was still "immersed" in pain did provide a long-lasting source of conversation for the land of Xumi and made a remarkable contribution to enriching the spiritual life of the people of Xumi.
I don’t know if the boss would be so angry if he knew the whole thing that he would rush over and chop off those guys who are bragging and trying to show off.
The Giant Shadow Eagle shifted his gaze to other places. Although he relied on the difference in strength between himself and those adventurers to observe them recklessly for a while, they were not pigs and they would probably react if time was any longer.
As long as they don't rush in and disturb the boss's practice, the Giant Shadow Eagle will not care.
It would be better to say that if he intervened rashly, the nature of the matter might change, from exploring the supernatural events of screaming to the Adventurer's Association calling on friends to hunt monsters.
But logically speaking, the boss's screams were so loud, these people should be able to get the information easily.
I hope they don’t come in, otherwise it won’t be the Giant Shadow Sculpture that will be scared, but the intelligence team.
The boss’s current posture… The giant shadow sculpture can only be described as unbearable to look at. Fortunately, the deep valley basically follows the setting of being uninhabited.
However, there have been a few unusual auras that have appeared before.
The giant shadow eagle looked around. He saw a few small guys that looked like cabbages and carrots appearing around, and they seemed to be here to watch the fun.
They seemed to know the boss, but after seeing me standing nearby and hearing the terrifying screams, they ran away, only daring to hide in the bushes in the distance and spy secretly.
This strange little guy seems to be able to catch one in one bite.
The giant shadow eagle is accustomed to looking at these little things from a hunting perspective. He can feel the vigorous vitality hidden in these little guys.
After more than a week, Gu Sanqiu finally calmed down.
But it doesn’t mean that his sealing technique has been perfected, but because he has exhausted himself.
To be less precise, one can also say that he has ruined himself.
Being able to shout with full energy for such a long time without stopping during the transition is, in a sense, enough to prove that Gu Sanqiu's body is different from that of ordinary people.
"Ah, I want some water."
Gu Sanqiu lay on the ground, moving his lower body like a small caterpillar and crawling. After he fell headfirst onto the river bank, he tried hard to stick his head in.
The sound of drinking water gurgling continued to be heard. The terrible intake would even instantly cause the fish and shrimp in the river to lose their living environment.
Gu Sanqiu drank up a large section of the river in one breath. The water source deep underground didn't even have time to be replenished. It was like a best-selling product that was snatched away by powerful customers as soon as it was put on the shelves.
"Boss, do you want to continue?"
The giant shadow eagle stood on the vine and asked, "If we continue, we might attract people from the relevant departments to form a team to investigate the reason why those adventurers didn't find us."
"No, you must continue!"
Gu Sanqiu gritted his teeth: "We are only a few steps away from success."
He really doesn't believe it today!
