Chapter 139 Triple Reverse Life Corpse Angel (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Even if he is just a fraud with a forbidden status, he is still one of the forbidden ones.
Lu Yu strongly suspected that if he weren't so weak, he might have been able to directly plunge into the depths of the Mother River and swim with the forbidden beings.
However, that situation would most likely be much more serious than a husky getting mixed up with a pack of wolves...
Lu Yu tried it out; just by getting a little closer, all the mirror shards began to tremble and cracks appeared, though they weren't very noticeable under the rampage of the Gundam controlled by the little spider.
If you actually go there, failing to create a mirror image is a minor issue; the real problem is blowing up the entire temple ruins.
Not only will the treasure be lost, but it will also cause trouble.
After all, even a ruined Gundam with spiritual transformation can be replicated. As a result, the ruins self-destructed because of replicating a human's image. Even a fool would notice that there is something wrong with Lu Yu.
Although one wouldn't associate it with anything taboo, it's easy to mistake him for a pawn or servant of some deity.
Moreover, since Lu Yu possesses the Eye of Truth, he would certainly be unwilling to undergo examination and prove his innocence. Such a reaction would confirm the speculation, and although the human race might not necessarily take action against him, he would still lose the opportunity to enter the core circle.
The best way is to find the pattern of Mirror Mountain and pass through it, and he has a feeling that the next level may be very dangerous.
So Lu Yu took a step back and said to everyone:
"Let's all go over there together!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes widened. After all, watching Lu Yu pass the challenges one after another, they who had been just running alongside him were like sitting on a wax statue, and could only keep shouting "666".
Surprisingly, despite having such an advantage, Lu Yu didn't eat all the food himself, but instead let everyone have a sip of soup.
Although it may require enough people to share the risks within the temple's inner ring, both the alliance and numerous adventure groups have indirectly accepted a favor.
Zhang Liyue became more and more satisfied with Lu Yu.
Not only is he a genius, but he also has high emotional intelligence.
If he joins the alliance, given his impeccable background, he could be groomed as a future high-ranking figure. If he could become a giant above the Radiant Moon realm, it wouldn't be impossible for him to rule a major region.
After all, in this world, strength determines status.
Decadent human dynasties have appeared before, but they have long since vanished into history. Only by constantly absorbing strong individuals can the alliance prosper.
Even the Supreme Council, which governs the alliance, is composed of kings. Anyone who becomes a true king will have a seat and jointly govern the alliance.
Therefore, after discussion, everyone decided on the first person to appear – Yu Xiyan.
"have not seen you for a long time."
Lu Yu had actually noticed this old friend long ago and greeted him with a smile.
"You did a really cool job!"
Yu Xiyan came up to Lu Yu, praised him, and suddenly reached out to smooth out the wrinkles on Lu Yu's collar. Before he could take a step back, she naturally withdrew her hand.
For some reason, it felt like an old married couple.
"That's incredibly indecent!"
Chi Yue Hong Lian frowned, somewhat displeased with Yu Xi Yan. How could they do this in public? If they were alone, they would be hugging!
Moreover, how come Lu Yu, a human, is more attractive to women than a succubus?
Chi Yue Meng's gaze froze for a moment, because she saw a slight upturn at the corners of Yu Xi Yan's lips on her exquisite profile.
Is this... a provocation?
While many envied Lu Yu for having so many female confidantes, they secretly wished for a fight.
I'm looking forward to some fun and chaos!
Unfortunately... Yu Xiyan didn't give them that chance. She walked straight to the countless mirror shards, and the light shone brightly, condensing into an identical mirror image.
Just when everyone was curious about how Yu Xiyan would fight and was preparing to learn some experience, the woman never summoned her pet beast.
If we don't have pet battles, are we supposed to fight by pulling hair and tearing clothes?
This looks... kind of nice!
Amidst the ruins, Yu Xiyan looked at her mirror image, identical to herself with an indifferent expression, and said with a smile:
"I do look quite good with this expression, but I need to get through here, so I'll have to ask you to make way..."
As Yu Xiyan spoke, she made a gun gesture with her hand and pressed it against her temple, a gesture that seemed like child's play.
Many people are wondering what this woman is doing? Is it a psychological attack?
But a clone doesn't have complete intelligence, so how could it possibly understand you?
As expected, the clone remained unmoved, then condensed into a bow and arrow, aimed at Yu Xiyan, and slowly drew back the bowstring. Cold mist gathered and transformed into an arrow ready to be released.
Once it hits, it will take away all life.
"Bang!"
Just as it made its move, Yu Xiyan's gentle voice rang out, and the clone's head suddenly exploded, turning into a headless corpse that fell and gradually vanished into nothingness.
Upon seeing this, the entire audience fell silent, so quiet you could hear a pin drop, before erupting in cheers.
"How did you do that?"
"I didn't sense any psionic fluctuations. Did you guys see clearly when she made her move?"
"Could this be her ability to summon pets?"
"Spatial magic? Or illusion magic? This is so weird! All the young people these days seem to be monsters!"
"..."
Everyone was astonished, feeling that their IQs were insufficient, completely unaware of what kind of method this was.
Could it be some kind of invisible pet?
Qi Wei trembled, feeling that his cousin's methods were becoming more and more terrifying each day, and that it would be increasingly difficult for him to escape her clutches in this lifetime.
"marvelous!"
Looking at the composed Yu Xiyan, Yue Mei's eyes lit up, her legs involuntarily moved closer together, and her face flushed. With both strength and wisdom, she was not only a perfect strategist but also an excellent companion.
Although she looks cool, she actually prefers to be controlled, which is the so-called contrast.
Even Zhang Li and the three archaeologists couldn't figure out where the bullet came from, and could only attribute it to some kind of mysterious beast ability, marveling at how talented people Dayuan City truly is in this generation.
"This human is very strong!"
Red Lotus squinted, sensing the immense power of the human race's foundation, with countless geniuses. Moreover, her intuition told her that beneath this woman's outward appearance lay unimaginable madness.
Just like my mother said, human beast tamers are all a bunch of lunatics!
Akatsuki's expression was calm, her crimson eyes revealing a cryptic thought.
Of everyone present, only Lu Yu, who had been using his Eye of Truth, managed to detect a trace that confirmed it wasn't related to space but rather to time or causality.
It seems that Yu Xiyan is far more mysterious than he imagined.
Lu Yu was not surprised by this, after all, he was not the only genius and lucky person in the world, and he was not jealous of it.
After all, no matter how big Yu Xiyan's secret is, can it be bigger than his?
To be jealous of others is like a rich person being jealous of a beggar, especially when that beggar is one's friend.
"Sorry, that's all for now."
Yu Xiyan walked over and picked up the bullet that had been fired earlier, a gentle smile on her lips.
This is also one of the abilities of the messenger of fate.
Let the bullets of the past hit the future.
It was precisely because of this ability that she had the confidence to follow in Lu Yu's footsteps and travel to the stars.
Because of Yu Xiyan's successful start, the others had the illusion that mirroring wasn't too difficult, so they were eager to start the challenge.
The result, of course, was... utter defeat!
Although these mirror images are not particularly intelligent, they perfectly replicate their strength and are fearless of death, constantly using a tactic of trading injury for injury.
It doesn't matter if the mirror image dies, but the challengers are made of flesh and blood. Even if they are seriously injured, it is a huge loss. Naturally, they are timid and hesitant. Not to mention the added effect of the cold mist, they are directly defeated and become depressed.
Of course, it wasn't all about losing; there were also winners. For example, Yue Mei used the Crazy Botanical Garden tactic of stacking three pet beasts to deliberately create an opening, thus trapping her opponent and ultimately winning by a narrow margin.
Crimson Moon Lotus directly allowed the Abyss Crimson Sparrow to possess her, and like a Valkyrie, she chose to fight the mirror image clone hand-to-hand. Punch after punch, hellfire swept through, and she forcefully smashed the mirror image.
Akatsuki Dream, on the other hand, chose to use the Abyss Demon Eye in battle. With calm command, she blocked the battle line with the Abyss Ray, turning the battle into an art form and easily defeating her opponent.
Chi Yue Meng and Yu Xi Yan exchanged a glance. The former's eyes were calm, while the latter's were appreciative. Only such a formidable opponent was interesting.
Next, quite a few people from the alliance and several adventure groups also succeeded, with a success rate of about one in five. Zhang Li was worried about collapsing the underground cave, so he did not take action.
"I really envy these people who can challenge the mirror image..."
Lu Yu was jealous. Others could be abused, but he could only passively flip the table. His status was too high. Jing Shan couldn't even replicate him. He might even have to blow up the ruins.
Just as he was pondering, a voice like that of a lark rang in his ears:
"As an assistant, you can choose to request external assistance when you encounter difficulties!"
It was naturally Luo Qingyue who spoke. Although it seemed that Lu Yu was doing a favor by having more people share the risk of the next round of sacrifices, she understood Lu Yu. Although cautious, he wouldn't do something like that.
Lu Yu turned around and saw Luo Qingyue's "beg me" expression, and couldn't help but smile:
"Do the scholars at Luoyang University have a solution?"
"Of course..."
Luo Qingyue raised her head, drawing out her words with a tone that seemed to tremble even as the snow-covered mountains trembled, and after building up anticipation, she said with righteous indignation:
"No!"
"..."
Lu Yu was speechless. This woman was asking for trouble. Maybe he should have Little Spider trap her and hang her up for a day and a night.
The little spider sensed its master's emotions and prepared to pilot the giant ruined Gundam back to chop people up.
Luo Qingyue wanted to take the opportunity to reduce the amount of payment she had to make, not to get beaten up, so she quickly explained:
"Just because Scholar Luo is incapable doesn't mean that future investigator Luo Qianqiu is helpless!"
"..."
Lu Yu was about to say, "Isn't that just an excuse you use to earn two salaries?"
However, before she could finish speaking, she swallowed the words back. Upon closer inspection, Luo Qianqiu, who was actually Luo Qingyue's second form, was indeed completely different from the silly senior in front of her.
The former is like a silly rabbit, while the latter is more like a noble fox. If it were her, she might actually be a good match.
So he spoke up, saying, "I almost forgot about our future legendary investigator. It was indeed my negligence as his assistant. This is just a small level; it could have been easily destroyed..."
For Lu Yu, if Luo Qingyue wanted to show off, he would satisfy her and flatter her until she was pleased, but if she wanted to cut her reward, that was absolutely out of the question. So he directly switched to the mode of coaxing women.
Luo Qingyue originally wanted to show off a bit, but Lu Yu's flattery made her overjoyed. Every time he teased her, it was just right, causing her emotions to build up until she was only a little bit away from breaking through the threshold.
"You speak so sweetly, no wonder you're my assistant."
Luo Qingyue thought to herself with delight, patted her unique spot, indicating that she would take care of everything, and then prepared to enjoy Lu Yu's admiring gaze.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yu smiled slightly, stopped praising him, and directly said:
"Oh, then go ahead."
"you……"
The sudden change in tone made Luo Qingyue feel like she'd been scammed. She wanted to say something more, but Lu Yu, that scoundrel, shrugged and said:
"No way, surely the legendary investigator from the future can't solve this little challenge?"
Even though she knew it was a provocation, Luo Qingyue was indeed susceptible to it and only then realized that she had been so charmed that she had forgotten to bargain with Lu Yu.
Other men are all about seducing women, but this bastard cheats people out of money every day. It's extremely insulting!
"snort!"
Luo Qingyue snorted, took out a hair tie and bit it, then smoothed her hair and tied it into a high ponytail. Her expression became calm, and the corners of her mouth turned up, forming a faint smile. Her temperament changed visibly.
If it weren't for the fact that Luo Qingyue's label remained unchanged in Lu Yu's Eye of Truth, he would have almost thought they were two souls in one body.
Unfortunately, because the Beast Taming Space is connected to the Mother River, the spiritual energy required to investigate humans is far greater than that required to detect pets. Therefore, most of the time, Lu Yu only sees labels such as "[Human xxx]" or "[Rank]", in order to conserve his spiritual energy.
After all, he hasn't completely shaken off the nickname "Greyhound" yet, and he still has to take intermediate-level mental potions every night to support his two pets in improving their proficiency.
In particular, Luo Qingyue also has some kind of power shield, although it is far less than the restriction on Chi Yue Meng, but the amount of spiritual energy required is still enormous, probably only those at the peak of spiritual energy or the Morning Star level can withstand it.
For example, it would be faster to just knock Luo Qingyue down and imprison and torture her...
Luo Qingyue nodded to Lu Yu, then looked at Mirror Mountain Hell and at the fragmented mirrors. She had already had an idea, but after waiting a while, when she saw the next challenger enter, the mirrors shone brightly and formed a replica, completely verifying her conjecture.
We already know the answer.
However, instead of rushing to conquer the secret realm, she went to all the challengers who had not passed the outer ring of the temple and offered to pay 100,000 yuan per person to help them pass the Mirror Mountain Hell.
The reason for setting it low is that most people haven't even passed the outer ring road and have no hope for the subsequent ruins strategy. If it were set too high, people would rather watch from the sidelines. But if they spend 100,000 yuan to buy an inner ring road ticket, they wouldn't lose out even if they fail.
That's about the price of two silver-level missions.
Furthermore, Luo Qingyue's statement that payment would be made later further convinced everyone's trust, making them willing to give it a try. The main reason for this was that they saw the close relationship between Luo Qingyue and Lu Yu, and they hoped to extract information from him to make a profit.
Luo Qingyue easily collected part of the reward she was going to give to Lu Yu, and then went to Zhang Li's side.
Because of Luo Zisong, she not only knew Zhang Li, but they even had a good relationship. So she whispered something in his ear, and his expression changed from nonchalant to astonished, as if he couldn't believe it.
then……
Luo Qingyue walked into the ruins. The shattered Mirror Mountain Hell shimmered with light, preparing to condense a replica. Suddenly, the Golden Sheep of the Sun Wheel withdrew its radiance, and its wool dimmed, like a silent sun.
The floating balloons in the sky hadn't recovered from their fear either; their soul fires had dimmed and therefore didn't emit light, plunging the entire cavern into darkness.
"I see."
Although Lu Yu did not have night vision, he could see clearly in the dark with the Eye of Truth. He saw Luo Qingyue walking forward, but Mirror Mountain Hell did not react at all.
Seemingly sensing the gaze, Luo Qingyue turned around, looked in Lu Yu's direction, waved, and then continued walking forward.
Even without being explicitly stated, its weakness is already known to be...
Light!
Only with light can reflection occur and images be formed; conversely, without light, images cannot be created.
If the Mirror Mountain mechanism fails to function, Lu Yu can smoothly enter the secret realm without worrying about bursting.
This weakness seems simple, but the darkness in the cave means you have to rely on light to see things, which can make people subconsciously overlook this point – it's like being blind to what's right under your nose.
Moreover, without sufficient confidence, most people would not dare to approach a hellish place like Mirror Mountain, where they could be killed instantly, in complete darkness.
Even if they guessed it, they might not dare to verify it.
Courage, wisdom, and observation skills are all indispensable.
"Very good!"
Lu Yu was overjoyed. In this way, he could pass the second level without worrying about destroying the ruins.
No wonder she was able to become a full-fledged investigator before; I just don't know why she became an intern.
Could it be that the internship duration was insufficient?
Or is it because of too many absences?
"It actually got through like this..."
The others also focused their eyes with their spiritual energy. Although it was not clear, they could still vaguely see Luo Qingyue walk through Mirror Mountain Hell. They were shocked and felt the crushing intellectual dominance she had received.
As expected, none of the women around Lu Yu are simple.
In the future, will these favored women of heaven, after becoming top-level powerhouses, destroy an entire domain in their fight for men?
Did a family conflict trigger a natural disaster?
However, although the group had passed through the outer ring, they did not intend to renege on their debt. Instead, they faced another problem: how to fight in such a dark environment when they entered the inner ring?
If someone were to gather light, wouldn't that create a large number of replicas to block their path?
This trouble soon disappeared.
Because the little spider controlled the Ruins Gundam, which turned the giant sword into a broom and swept all the lenses together like garbage, and then used spider silk to condense an opaque dome to cover them.
Solve the problem directly using physical methods.
The sun and golden ram shone again on the cave, restoring its light.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief as they watched Spider-Man pilot his Gundam to the front of the icy mist and cleave it in two with a single sword strike.
The final obstacle before the temple was revealed, and the inner ring of ruins was unveiled. However, the scene that came into view made everyone's pupils tremble slightly.
"This is……"
Lu Yu also narrowed his eyes, feeling a sense of pressure.
Zhang Li couldn't help but murmur:
"Are you sure this is a sacrificial offering, or a fragment of the underworld?"
Ahead lay not ruins, but a mountain of skeletons, a forest of bones, the flesh of unknown life decayed into dust and mud, covering the ground like a plain of bones, exuding a suffocating stillness.
Looking at it, it's as if you've arrived at a corner of the ancient underworld, a symbol of death.
What will be the offerings this time?
"This can't really be considered the underworld..."
A voice suddenly rang out; it was the elderly Mediterranean man among the three archaeologists, who was quite knowledgeable about skeletal script, who spoke in a deep voice:
"This is the ecology of the underworld!"
"The Underworld?"
Everyone was stunned. Even those who didn't understand knew that the unique feature of the Yellow Springs Ecological Secret Realm was the Yellow Springs Water, which corroded all life.
If there's no water, then it must be the rest of the underworld ecosystem, right?
"Look at that fog!"
Suddenly someone shouted, and everyone looked up to see that the cold mist that had been split open was drifting and did not dissipate, but gradually sinking and liquefying, turning into a river of twilight colors.
Despite being crystal clear, it gives off an extremely filthy feeling, exuding the stench of decay.
It flowed slowly, as if traversing ancient times, the spiritual energy of the underworld spreading out, coiling around the temple like the ring of an ouroboros, cutting through the world and blocking all things.
Once a life steps into it, it will be instantly devoured, turning into withered bones.
The cold mist is actually another manifestation of the Yellow Springs!
The power of the underworld spread, beginning to erode everything. The original skeletons began to melt rapidly, turning into water of the dead, gradually revealing an ecology that transcended the human world and was unlike anything else.
Everyone who witnessed this scene was filled with admiration. As expected of a veteran archaeologist, his experience was indeed rich, allowing him to distinguish the ecology of the Yellow Springs from the many ecosystems of the underworld at a glance.
For an ordinary person, they might already be close to it, and would most likely face a drenching inferno.
However, the old man with the Mediterranean hair showed no sign of smugness; instead, his expression grew increasingly shocked, and he muttered:
"No way...it couldn't be that, could it..."
Such unusual behavior puzzled everyone, but they dared not ask, for fear of being rebuked by the old man.
Therefore, Lu Yu asked:
Is there a problem with this?
"Wait a minute, I need to confirm something..."
The old man with the Mediterranean hair was about to get angry, but when he saw Lu Yu, he smiled bitterly and looked around the pile of bones by the Yellow Springs. His gaze quickly settled on a bone tablet.
The inscription was written extensively in skeletal script, but over the long years it has almost completely weathered away, leaving only a few characters.
"Imprisoned...in a cage containing remains...the God of Fate...the Wheel..."
The elderly man with the receding hairline could only barely recognize a few words. He then let out a deep breath and said solemnly to everyone:
"I understand now. The Doll Hell represents the myriad aspects of death for all living beings, the Mirror Mountain Hell represents the reflection of life and death, and light is the boundary between the dead and the living."
Light is a symbol of the living, giving birth to all things. When light goes out, darkness comes, which is the time when the dead sleep, corresponding to the form of Mirror Mountain sleeping in darkness.
As for the final underworld, although it hasn't yet revealed its complete ecosystem, it's already confirmed to be the burial ground for all things. Taken together, this corresponds to the legendary ritual called the "Triple Reverse Rebirth Angel." It also requires sacrifices to activate, but its purpose isn't sacrifice at all; rather, it's to suppress and obliterate something…”
Lu Yu: Be alert!
This is a long chapter of 6,000 words. I'm asking for your monthly votes. I wrote it in my spare time because I have a lot of things to take care of at home.
