"The plan was perfect from the start..."
Lu Yu, whose body was still half-hidden in the darkness, lowered his head slightly, startling a group of people who retreated a distance once again.
He looked at the scene, his lips twitched slightly, and he pondered which step had gone wrong.
Since it was his first time at the black market, he was unfamiliar with the procedures, so he adopted the idea of blending in with the people and silently following behind them until he saw the will-o'-the-wisps.
After observing for a while, it became clear that this was a strong person identification device. Anyone who could enter in this way was definitely a strong person of at least the gold level.
Upon seeing this scene, Lu Yu suddenly had a flash of inspiration!
He was not a Gold-rank Beastmaster, nor could he produce a Commander-rank Beastmaster.
but……
He has mice!
When Lu Yu first met the Silhouette Mouse, he was stunned by its simulated Shadow Mimicry and mistakenly thought it was a powerful monster equivalent to a Overlord.
If I didn't have the all-seeing eye of truth, I would have been fooled.
Then they found the mastermind behind it all, and after bringing it home, they decided to keep it for life.
I don't know whether I made a profit or a loss.
However, ordinary people do not have the Eye of Truth to see through the shadow mimicry power of the rat. The blood of the evil god's followers that it devours makes it automatically immune to divination, detection, and other techniques under the Morning Star.
It's essentially a signal jammer devoid of emotion, plus special effects.
It's a complete dimensional reduction attack against anything below Morning Star!
Anyway, there's no need to fight inside, and it's all under my own alias. Pretending to be a mysterious powerhouse is all benefits and no harm.
You can cut in line, use the VIP fast track, and be respected by others, greatly reducing the chances of encountering trouble. It might even help you negotiate a lower price...
Most importantly, he had just taken advantage of Soul-Stealing Demon Cloud a few days ago.
This guy is hiding in the abandoned area outside the west side of the city and usually doesn't leave. However, although the [Forbidden Curse Mark] on him is great for attracting monsters and farming materials, it tends to fail at crucial moments.
If it suddenly emits a strong fragrance and happens to drift to the west of the city, it might attract that thing.
Let's not even talk about whether the black market will be razed to the ground.
Judging from the level of hatred he had previously incurred, even tearing him to pieces would hardly appease the Soul-Seizing Demon Cloud's hatred. The final result would likely be that his soul would be extracted and tormented for countless years.
"Just thinking about it is a little exciting. It's just a few small jellyfish, barely enough to fill one hand. At worst, I'll make you pay with... ten lollipops later!"
That's what he said, but Lu Yu still decisively chose to have the rat shield his aura, and then jumped into the nearby grove to avoid encountering someone with the same talent for detection.
This time, he chose to hide these mimicry shadows under his yellow robe, so that he wouldn't have to worry about his secret being exposed.
In this way, one can perfectly infiltrate the black market, or even attend some high-end gatherings of gold-rank beast tamers, gather information, and find some treasures that one needs.
But imagination is beautiful.
Reality is cruel!
He overlooked an important detail.
That is, apart from Shadow Leap, which is an escape skill that has reached the mastery level, the mouse's proficiency in the other skills is ridiculously low...
Among them, the top-tier skill [Shadow Mimicry] is only at the beginner level of 80%.
In short, it's not very skilled at controlling it; its previous success was simply due to its powerful skills!
Therefore, even though the mouse tried its best to shrink itself after using shadow mimicry, several tentacles still wrapped around its body, making the already large robe full.
He went from a greyhound to a fat tiger!
"You're afraid of the dark, fine, but how come your survival skill, Shadow Mimicry, is so bad? You fat otaku rat, you're really lucky that you haven't been eaten!" Lu Yu thought to himself, but he could still comfort himself by saying that changing his body shape would make it easier to hide his identity. However, this was just taking one step.
All the will-o'-the-wisps exploded!
They can be used as identification devices because their senses are several times more acute than those of humans, or even ordinary monsters.
This is an advantage, but it can also become a fatal flaw.
The shadowy mimicry that Lu Yu and ordinary humans saw was nothing more than the dark tentacles of a powerful ordinary creature.
However, the will-o'-the-wisps sensed a trace of the evil god's aura remaining in the rat's body, which had not decayed despite countless years of erosion and contained endless twisted and chaotic energy.
A great demon, writhing in the darkness, is approaching, ready to devour countless lives!
This feeling is like a flock of lambs seeing a big bad wolf approaching, or seeing a player with a bright red name in a game. Forget about identifying them, you're lucky if you don't go crazy from fear!
And that's how the scene from before happened!
Outside the black market,
"Eee!"
As Lu Yu appeared, the Ghost Lantern, as the evolved form of the Will-o'-the-Wisp Lantern, naturally sensed that strange and inexplicable aura and couldn't help but tremble!
"Even ghost lanterns are afraid?"
Sun Jie also sensed the emotions of his beast tamer, but what terrified him even more was that even when he activated his school's secret detection technique: the [Eye of Spirit Fire], which could easily see through spiritual energy of the same level and in the shape of a soul fire, it could still detect the beast's emotions.
However, when he looked at the mysterious yellow-robed masked man in front of him, he found only darkness, devoid of both aura and soul fire.
It was as if the person standing opposite them wasn't human.
Instead, it is a deathly, dark, and eternal shadow!
It's unfathomable; even the fire of the soul has been hidden!
Could it be the Morning Star Rank?
Thinking of this, Sun Jie's expression turned solemn. During this period, there was a severe shortage of Morning Star-level Beast Tamers in Dayuan City. In addition, in order to obtain stable resource channels, the Evil God Cult had been very obedient and only assigned a few people to be in charge.
Even if these leaders joined forces, they could not possibly contend against a mysterious Morning Star Overlord!
We can only hope that he's not some top-tier powerhouse from the dark side!
The others observing Sun Jie also felt a chill run down their spines; even a powerful beast king with a spiritual transformation would be wary of such an opponent…
There were quite a few smart people in the crowd who had already begun to look around and explore the best strategic retreat route.
"If this continues, a fight might break out. It would be such a waste if we got riddled with bullets..."
Lu Yu watched the increasingly tense atmosphere, like a powder keg ready to ignite at any moment. The culprit was that the rat was too incompetent.
"I have to explain this, I can't let them mistake me for some evil beast tamer, otherwise I'll be finished if they gang up on me, unless my identity is exposed, but that would be a disaster... This time when I get back, I'm definitely going to make the rat train like crazy, grind it up to the max..."
Lu Yu thought he could easily resolve the misunderstanding with his silver tongue, but the mouse, who was still busy manipulating the shadow tentacles under the cloak, suddenly felt a strong malice coming from behind and couldn't help but shiver.
As a result, a shadowy tentacle twitched and fell out of the yellow robe.
The scene fell into a deathly silence...
Thanks to "Too Lazy to Choose a Name, So Let It Be" for the 2000 Qidian Coins reward for Little Spider.
