Volume 2: The Church of Light Chapter 234 "Lighthouse"
Xu Shen was stunned. This voice... ?
"child……"
The faint calling voice sounded again, but this time it seemed closer.
Xu Shen heard it clearly this time and was a little surprised. How could "Mom" come out, and still in the fog?
When Xu Shen was puzzled, suddenly, Xu Shen saw through Mo Wei's eyes that the fog in front of him was rolling over, and a strange centipede-like insect crawled out of the fog.
And that gentle sound also came from the claws of the strange insect.
whoosh!
The strange insect suddenly attacked Mo Wei.
Mo Wei also reacted , dodged quickly, and suddenly punched out.
With a bang, the fist accelerated rapidly as it was swung out, smashing through the monster insect's head with a powerful punch.
The ability to achieve great things with small means can actually work on Mo Wei.
Xu Shen was surprised and looked at the strange insect that was killed, but saw its body turned into smoke and dissipated into the fog.
But the previous call also disappeared.
"This fog insect can actually bewitch people's minds..." Xu Shen raised his eyebrows and suddenly thought of a question. According to the secret technique, the second level is an adventurer who can travel through the fog.
Going up further is the third level, the Mist.
During this stage, you will be deeply trapped in the fog, easily assimilated into the fog, and will also hear mysterious whispers coming from the fog.
Could it be that after eating three golden apples, Mo Wei has reached the third level?
Xu Shen's thoughts were turning. At this moment, Mo Wei was standing in the fog and no longer felt any coldness or erosion. Instead, he felt particularly comfortable being surrounded by the fog.
My whole body feels light and airy, as if I am in the clouds.
If I could fully integrate into it, maybe it would be even more wonderful...
When this thought came to his mind, Xu Shen quickly woke up. He looked through Mo Wei's line of sight and saw a vast expanse of white in front of him, unable to tell north from south.
Xu Shen suddenly opened his eyes.
Xu Li focused his gaze, penetrated the wall, and saw the white fog outside.
Although the Ruins Eye could penetrate the fog, Xu Shen still did not see Mo Wei, but could sense that he was somewhere in front of him.
"Mo Wei merged with the mist?" Xu Shen was stunned for a moment, then immediately jumped onto the roof and looked around.
If Mo Wei couldn't come back, Xu Shen would lose him forever.
Xu Shen raised his hand and waved out a gust of wind according to the direction he sensed.
A breeze passed by, but it quickly grew stronger. By the time it was 4 meters away from his body, it had formed a strong wind that blew away the fog in front of him.
Xu Shen looked along the gap in the fog and saw a blurry figure inside.
Xu Shen quickly chased after him and saw clearly that it was Mo Wei who was standing still.
Fortunately...Xu Shen breathed a sigh of relief and immediately asked Mo Wei to come back.
The strange thing is that through Mo Wei's sight, Xu Shen still saw a vast expanse of white. The two were obviously very close, but Mo Wei could not see himself.
Only I can see him...
Xu Shen's heart sank, and he suddenly realized that if there was no problem with his eyes, he might not be able to see Mo Wei.
Is this the danger of the fog phase ?
Once you get too deep, you will be lost!
Xu Shen flicked his fingers and shot out strands of Xu silk, which quickly changed into chains. The shapes of these chains were almost exactly the same as the chains released by the Xu beast that chased after him when the personal guards were on duty, except that they were tougher and more condensed.
The chain flew into the mist, dispersing it and passing by Mo Wei.
But in Mo Wei's field of vision, he could only see the flying mist.
The chain rolled and touched Mo Wei, but it missed.
The Mowei is the power of the mind, while the chains are just the power of the virtual world.
"return!"
Xu Shen's eyes widened angrily, and Mo Wei's figure was reflected in his pupils. The chain changed subtly, and wrapped around Mo Wei's arm as it rolled.
whoosh!
Mo Wei's figure was pulled back from the fog.
And through Mo Wei's vision, he also saw Xu Shen outside the fog.
Xu Shen breathed a sigh of relief. This third stage was really too dangerous. He was just testing and practicing, but something almost went wrong.
"Thank you..." Xu Shen muttered to himself, and then asked Mo Wei to return to his side.
Now that Mo Wei has reached the third stage, he needs to be more careful when exploring the fog.
Unless you can break through to the fourth level, lighthouse.
Then you will no longer get lost in the fog, and you can return from anywhere and find reality.
The figure fell and Xu Shen returned to the room.
"You didn't leave any coordinates. It's easy for you to disappear in the fog."
In the room, Hei Xue saw Xu Shen coming back, and seemed to have seen what Xu Shen had just experienced, so she spoke obediently.
At this moment, she had finished eating and looked very well-behaved and honest, like a good student.
Xu Shen's heart moved. Hei Xue was a king-level existence and should belong to the Lighthouse level. If she came to guide him, he would definitely learn faster.
Although the secret techniques are recorded, progress is slow if one relies solely on reading books to learn them.
"How to leave the coordinates?" Xu Shen asked.
Kuroyuki smiled and said, "You should first find something that you are most familiar with, and then leave your most precious things behind, such as your heart or your brain. In this way, you will not get lost."
“…”
Xu Shen was speechless and asked, "What do you mean by the most familiar thing? If the heart and the brain are left behind, can he still live?"
“Yes.”
As Hei Xue said this, he reached out and took out his heart and handed it to Xu Shen: "Brother, do you want it? If you want it, I'll give it to you."
Xu Shen looked at the black heart in front of him, hesitated, and still didn't answer it.
I feel that even if I hold this heart, it probably won't threaten Kuroyuki's life.
Even though they seem a bit neurotic, their thinking is not really stupid.
"You can find me as your coordinates." Maeve, who was sitting at the table, said with a smile.
Xu Shen was stunned.
The coordinates are Maeve?
The "thing" that Kuroyuki said was most familiar... this thing seemed to contain everything.
In comparison, Maeve's words are obviously more credible and normal.
"Then if we find the most familiar thing, how do we determine the coordinates? I'm not like you. Let's not even talk about leaving the heart and the brain. Is there any other way?" Xu Shen asked Hei Xue.
But his ears were perked up, wanting to hear if Maeve would answer.
"Then let's leave the arms and stomach." Kuroyuki said after thinking for a while with his head tilted.
“…”
Maeve covered her mouth and laughed, saying, "She is right, but she is referring to the one next to you. You have to let him condense a vigorous internal organ first, so that he can be used as an anchor point for positioning."
The one beside him? Mo Wei?
Xu Shen's eyes moved slightly, thinking of the records in the secret technique. If the Mist Dweller wants to make another breakthrough, he needs to build his own "lighthouse". Could it be the condensed internal organs?
Xu Shen called out Mo Wei and said, "Bear with the pain."
He immediately reached out and touched Mo Wei's body, and found that it was indeed very empty inside. He only felt a ball of something as thick as his little finger.
Xu Shen pulled it out and saw that it was a section of small intestine.
This can be considered as internal organs, but it is too small.
Xu Shen plans to give it a try first.
He came to the roof again and let Mo Wei enter the fog, while he held the torn small intestine in his hand.
Soon, Mo Wei's vision was obscured by fog, and he seemed to hear Maeve's voice calling faintly from a distance.
Xu Shen ignored it and asked Mo Wei to return.
But the next scene left Xu Shen a little stunned.
Mo Wei's method of returning was extremely strange. His body collapsed and shrank inward, with his hands, feet, limbs and head all shrinking towards his stomach, as if he was about to turn over.
When it shrank into a ball, a blurry figure appeared in the mist in front of Mo Wei. It was Xu Shen himself.
Then Mo Wei rushed over quickly and returned to Xu Shen.
Mo Wei's body recovered, but it was obviously much weaker.
Xu Shen also felt that Mo Wei was becoming weaker.
Moreover, when they came back before, the connection between them was extremely weak. If the distance was a little further, they might have gotten lost again.
Xu Shen looked at the small intestine in his hand and stuffed it back into Mo Wei's stomach.
Seeing that Mo Wei's complexion had recovered a little, Xu Shen let him go home.
Xu Shen himself also felt tired.
"It seems that the method is correct, but Mo Wei is not strong enough..." Xu Shen muttered to himself, returned to the room, pulled out the dagger selected from the secret treasure house, practiced for an hour, and then went to bed.
Kuroyuki wanted to grope his way closer to the edge of the bed, but suddenly realized something, his face suddenly changed, and he immediately retreated to another corner and curled up in the corner.
The next morning.
Xu Shen got up yawning, still feeling a little dizzy. Last night's practice had taken some toll on Mo Wei, and he felt low in energy as well.
Xu Shen snapped his fingers, then stood up and brushed his teeth.
After brushing his teeth, Xu Shen opened the door and saw a young man holding a breakfast in both hands with a reverent and pious look.
Xu Shen took the breakfast, closed the door and started to enjoy it.
"Is this all you want to eat, brother?" Hei Xue came over and looked at Xu Shen with sympathy.
"Just eat it. I'm not as picky as you." Xu Shen said unhappily.
At this point, Xu Shen thought of something important: "Don't follow me today. I'm going to meet the woman who beat you up last time. You might be noticed by her."
"Ah? Then aren't you dangerous?"
Kuroyuki was surprised and said, "Brother, you are no match for her. Don't go."
"I'm not going there for revenge, I'm going to find out first." Xu Shen said calmly, but he thought silently in his heart that his brother was going to be someone's bodyguard.
"Then I'll go too."
"No." Xu Shen was firm.
Kuroyuki hesitated and said, "How about... you let your sister go too? If your sister is willing to help, the woman will definitely be eaten."
Maeve sat at Xu Shen's dining table, her little face slightly raised, as if to say, you see, she has good taste.
"Sister has her own things to do. We can't always trouble her." Xu Shen said.
Kuroyuki seemed to be a little afraid of his sister and didn't dare to say anything more. He just said "oh".
She thought for a moment and said, "How long will it take you to come back?"
"Four days, maybe longer."
Xu Shen had already thought of a plan: "I allow you to leave these few days, but you can't run around. You can only go to the places I took you to before. If you want to find food, don't make too much noise and don't let people find you. And you can't eat the people who wore those two kinds of clothes last time, understand?"
Kuroyuki looked reluctant, and after thinking for a while, he said, "How about, brother, you eat me?"
