My Summons Can Learn Skills Chapter 157: Human skin lantern
Under the sea, Aran City.
The entire submarine city is shrouded by a transparent defensive barrier. If you don't want to disturb the sea monsters in the city, you can only enter through the four city gates.
But after the group reached their destination and dived into the bottom of the sea, Hai Lanzhu did not take Chen Gou and Kui An to the city gate, but sneaked in through a secret road that could lead directly to the city from outside the city.
The exit of secret road in the city is a remote spire house guarded by a female Naga Siren.
Although this siren is not a mermaid, he was saved by Hailanzhu and vowed to repay him with his life.
After the riot broke out, he also actively asked to stay and help Hailanzhu to garrison this secret stronghold in order to retain a glimmer of hope for the future recapture of Aran City.
"My lord, you are finally back. Have you found Her Royal Highness and are ready to counterattack?"
Naga people have a snake tail. The biggest difference from the mermaid people is the tail. In addition, the head and hands also have some fish characteristics. The overall appearance is definitely much worse than that of the mermaid.
The female Naga named Yili was overjoyed at the appearance of Hailanzhu, but when her eyes fell on Chen Gou and Kui'an, she immediately showed obvious disgust and alert.
Because they had drunk the tears of mermaid in advance, they became like a male mermaid, and temporarily gained the ability to breathe underwater.
After experiencing that riot, Yili also hated the male mermaid.
"Yili, don't be rude, this is my current master, Lord Silver Knight of the Holy See!" Hai Lanzhu said while giving her a look at the messenger.
"Master?"
"Or is it a human?"
The female Naga was blindfolded, and the gaze with Hai Lanzhu revealed strong suspicion. It was obviously very puzzled and unacceptable.
How can a young human be supported by Hailanzhu and the mermaid, or even regarded as his master?
Hai Lanzhu smiled and explained: "It's a long story, you will know later, in short, the master deserves our allegiance."
After a while, Chen Gou and Kui An were led to swim directly from the hollow in the center of the room to the second floor of the building,
When they were still in Huadao, the two had already been familiar with the way of mermaid actions, so although they were still slightly rusty at this time, it would not have much impact.
During their stay in Aran City, this was their residence.
From the balcony on the second floor, you can overlook a large area with an unusually wide view.
This submarine city is not directly located on the bottom of the sea, but on the top of a flat and huge submarine mountain.
Most of the ocean floor is never as flat as people think, but rather uneven, with many terrains such as hills, mountains, and even large cracks.
And the sea floor of Xingluo Broken Island is a huge mountain range criss-crossed!
Those high enough to protrude above the sea become islands, so there are so many fragmentary islands in this sea area.
The submarine mountain peak where Yalan City is located, although it is still on the bottom of the sea, it is only more than 300 meters away from the sea.
At this time, Chen Gou was standing on the balcony and looking down, only to see the wide streets on both sides of the spire buildings leaning toward the Western style.
The siren walking on the street is also dressed in the same way, either in armor, or in a vest, or simply wrapped a piece of animal skin around the waist.
is not bad from Chen Gou's expectations, but when something weird came into his sight, it immediately aroused his curiosity.
It was a lantern floating in the air. The frame was an unknown rattan. Inside it was burning a purple flame, emitting a dim light. Not only could it not feel the slightest warmth on the body, it was extremely cold.
What is even more shocking is that the outside of the lantern is not covered with oil paper, but with scales.
More precisely, it should be the skin of a mermaid!
"Mermaid Lantern?"
Chen Gou was astonished on the spot. This oriental-style lantern looked very incompatible with the surrounding environment.
The strangest thing is that the flames in these lanterns are still burning, obviously in the sea.
Candle Hitomi!
Chen Gou's eyes flickered with candlelight, and he spied towards the lantern. This lantern is absolutely weird!
This level of use of mana is not strictly a skill, so he did not remove his mermaid state.
[Mermaid Lantern: Evil Magic Tool]
[Place of Origin: Canglan]
[Introduction: An evil existence peeled off the skin of the mermaid to make a lantern, and trapped its soul in this lantern with evil spells. 】(Only the candle pupil is visible)
[Skill 1: Light Monitoring-The evil existence that makes this magical instrument will be able to see the surrounding area illuminated by the lantern light from a distance through the lantern. 】(Only the candle pupil is visible)
[Skill 2: Lamp Soul Shock-by burning the mermaid soul imprisoned in the lantern, sending out a mental shock wave, directly causing mental damage based on its basic intelligence during his lifetime. 】(Only the candle pupil is visible)
After seeing the lantern message, Chen Gou quickly returned from the balcony to the room.
The existence of the skill "light monitoring" makes these lanterns a monitor.
And not only this one, almost the entire sky above Aran City is covered with this kind of lanterns, which is comparable to the "eyes of the sky."
Chen Gou's complexion sank. The appearance of this situation means that the so-called evil existence has secretly controlled the city of Aran, and it is just that the three sea-monster forces stand on the bright side.
Otherwise, how could these weird lanterns float over the entire city of Aran?
came the soft footsteps behind him. It was Hailanzhu. Chen Gou looked at the weird lanterns through the window and asked: "Did you have these lanterns before you left Aran City?"
Hai Lanzhu also looked out the window, and said in a low voice: "I have seen it a few times. It was only after weird things happened that this kind of lantern appeared, and it was aggressive, so when I saw us, I would find a way. Destroying it, it is impossible to let so many float in the air together."
Chen Gou nodded, and suddenly changed his conversation: "Have you heard about the hiding place of the evil spirit?"
"No, Aran City is very chaotic now. Yili rarely goes out during this time." Hai Lanzhu shook his head.
"This is troublesome."
Chen Gou frowned. If there were no human skin lanterns on his head, he would be able to find them slowly with the help of candle pupils.
However, under the condition of being monitored around the clock, and still wandering around Aran City all day, I am afraid that he will be spotted within a day or two.
"Go down first, and please tell me any useful information when you think of it."
After Hai Lanzhu left, Chen Gou touched his chin and began to think.
The most clear memory in his mind related to human skin lanterns is a Hong Kong movie called "Human Skin Lanterns".
Ah Hui, the protagonist of the movie, worked as a lawyer for Su Xiong, the hero of the underworld.
A Hui fell in love with Su Xiong’s mistress, Hong Ling Huixian’s junior sister, Little Furong. Su Xiong was vicious and committed a lot of evil. Su Xiong wanted to expose Su Xiong’s evil deeds but was discovered by Su Xiong. In the end, he was murdered. Suicide committed suicide without being insulted by Su Xiong.
Su Xiong studied Maoshan Taoism. In his anger, he cursed Ahui to make him unlucky for the tenth generation. He even skinned the hibiscus and made it into a human skin lantern. The soul was also imprisoned in the lantern, and he could never live beyond...
The plot behind has nothing to do with Chen Gou, because it is not him who crossed into the abyssal world, but the demons of the abyssal world crossed over.
If Su Xiong is really behind him, Chen Gou is not very worried about his strength.
Because of his sorcery, it may be very effective against ordinary people, but it is not so effective against the awakened.
And from the fact that he did not directly occupy Arran City, but indirectly achieved his goal by inducing riots, it can be inferred that his absolute strength is still at a relatively low level.
If you can do things with your hands and feet, who would be willing to use time-consuming and laborious conspiracies?
At this time, Kui An, who had been standing next to nothing, suddenly asked: "Ago, are you worrying about finding the hiding place of evil spirits?"
"Yes, we only have one chance. If we startled the grass, we won't have any chance."
"I have a way."
"Do you have a way?" Chen Gou looked over in astonishment.
"Hmm."
Quian nodded and smiled and said: "My talent skill is Mountain Soul-one of the abilities is that as long as I stand on the mountain~IndoMTL.com~, I can blend my mind with the mountain and get some mountain feelings."
Chen Gou heard a smile on his face and said: "So, can you directly determine the situation of everyone in Aran City?"
Aran City was built on a large mountain under the sea. If Kui An can turn into a mountain soul, he can naturally know everything on the top of the mountain.
As a result, Kui An touched his head with a thick big hand, and smiled embarrassedly: "No, my level is too low, I can’t reach the level you said, but I can perceive each area. The breath of law...the place where the evil spirit stays, it must be very yin."
Chen Gou's eyes lit up. Although not so precise, he can still achieve his goal.
If the sorcerer Su Xiong is really hiding behind, even if he is not a ghost, the yin and hostility produced by constantly making human skin lanterns will be enough to make his hiding place the most ghastly in the entire city of Aran The place.
"I will try now."
Quian went straight downstairs as he said, his talent ability can only be activated by direct contact with the mountain.
At this time, Chen Gou was already thinking about how to approach and kill Su Xiong, and what he could gain.
Reasonable Su Xiong’s sorcery, although cruel, are still quite useful.
For example, this human-skin lantern can be used as a detective, no matter it is Huadao or he is in the abyss world, it can be used.
Of course, if it were not for the enemy, he would certainly not be skinned. He still needs to have a bottom line for being a man, but skinning a demon would not have so many worries...
