Chapter 433 "Reckless" Feeling the gazes of Albus and Eros, Lumian slowly walked towards the injured black giant spider with the calcium carbide lamp. As a "Hunter", he has a clear enough understanding of the current attitudes of his two teammates: It's like being in a dark forest, everyone is a hunter, but once their own weaknesses are exposed, they will become prey and be attacked by others. Albus and Eros wanted to see Lumian's condition and abilities now. They seemed to not believe that Lumian could easily deal with the "wax master", thinking that he must have paid a heavy price. Moreover, they wanted to find out the specific sequence and magical items carried by the winner of the previous King's Cake Game. Lumian had no doubt about killing the severely damaged black giant spider, but he didn't want to expose his trump cards of "spiritual travel" and "Hum-Ha technique" to Albus and Eros. As he approached the giant black spider, his mind raced, thinking about what way to fight with the least cost, shortest time, and most ease. Lumian's gaze was torn from the side, dark red blood still seeping out, and he glanced at the black giant spider that was unable to escape from the hall like the rest of its kind. He reached his left hand into his pocket in a relaxed manner, took out a silver-white ear clip, and clipped it on the lobe of his left ear. "lie"! After completely digesting the "Arsonist" potion, Lumian's mood has become more stable, and he can use "Lies" while secretly carrying the "Torture" gloves.
One after another, red flaming crows condensed around him. Almost at the same time, the giant black spider responded. The shriveled heart behind it flashed a dark red light, and as before, it produced a large number of dangerous fireballs, as if it was weaving a red web that could protect it. Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, the fire crows around Lumian flew out, following different trajectories towards their targets. Hundreds of red fireballs on the surface of the black giant spider responded by whistling out. Rumble! In an instant, some fire crows were intercepted by the fireballs, while others detonated the fireballs. A series of explosions occurred around the black giant spider, and flames rose up one after another. At this moment, a bright fireball flew out from the side, trying to hit the exit of the hall. Lumian was waiting for this opportunity. He raised his left hand and snapped his fingers. With a bang, the bright fireball lost its balance and fell to the ground. It did not explode, but flames shot up, revealing the silhouette of a giant black spider. Lumian rushed forward, pressed down with his left hand, and streams of red fire spurted out from his palm. They are entangled in layers and compressed to the point of being almost white. After running to the side of the black giant spider that was dazed from falling to the ground, Lumian leaned forward, swung his left arm, and pressed the blazing white fireball directly onto the hideous tear, allowing it to enter the target's body. Amid the sound of its limbs bouncing wildly, the giant black spider barely managed to turn its body, but Lumian had already taken advantage of the situation to lean back and roll over to create some distance. His figure appeared beside the red ocean created by the fire crows and fireballs, away from the target with violent aura. Boom! A blazing white fireball exploded inside the giant black spider's body. The burning was not obvious, but the rapid expansion of the gas completely tore apart the extraordinary creature, causing the chitinous shell on its body to be thrown out piece by piece along with its flesh and blood. The giant black spider let out a squeaking sound, and its eight bristly legs stretched and retracted wildly. Lumian didn't give it a chance to recover. He condensed a red-almost-white spear and threw it at the target. The spear wrapped in flames flew through the air and accurately pierced into the huge torn wound, nailing the black giant spider to the ground.
The spear then disintegrated and its internal organs began to burn. The black giant spider twitched a few times and then became motionless. Lumian was in no hurry to approach his prey. He turned his body and looked at Albus and Eros. He took off the "lie" ear clip and said with a smile: "solved." While speaking, he condensed dozens of scarlet fire crows and ordered them to split into groups and fly towards the seemingly dead black giant spider. Boom! The giant black spider jumped up again and detonated its own body. It was just pretending to be dead! Unfortunately, Lumian was too far away from it and didn't fall into the trap, but he sacrificed a dozen fire crows. The remaining scarlet fire crows all flew out and "bite" the broken body of the black giant spider, causing it to return to "calmness" again. Seeing this, Albus nodded slowly and said reluctantly: "not bad." Eros watched thoughtfully, not responding to Lumian's announcement. Lumian turned towards the motionless giant black spider and waited until a little bit of iron-black light emerged from its body before walking over. After observing the situation of the black giant spider just now, he decided to take advantage of the opponent's weakness of being seriously injured, with the possibility of reduced ability to control fire and no longer swift and agile movements. So he activated "Lies" and used its "fire manipulation" characteristics to match his own speed and agility. The iron-black light did not converge into the compound eyes of the black giant spider as Lumian had expected, but flowed like a stream into the shriveled blackened heart embedded in its back. Lumian stopped beside the prey and looked at the scene in confusion. He waited until the Beyonder Characteristics were fully developed before taking it away first and then confirming it. He pried off the shriveled heart, black compound eyes, and poison glands in the mouthparts and put them into different hidden bags and metal bottles. "You're not just an 'arsonist', are you? You haven't become a 'conspirator' yet?" Albus's sarcastic voice sounded. You know, I had just become an arsonist when I joined the Iron Cross... Lumian muttered inwardly, straightened up, and said with a smile: "Yeah, I'm still just an arsonist." "The 'arsonist' can't kill the 'wax artist'..." Eros muttered softly. Albus glanced at the pocket where Lumián had placed the "lie" ear clip, and said nothing more. Look, what I said is true. If you don’t believe me and doubt this and that, there is nothing I can do... Lumian chuckled, picked up the calcium carbide lamp, and walked towards the exit of the hall first. After another dark corridor, they came to a deep room. Under the yellowish light, iron soldiers wearing blue coats with gold thread appeared one after another in the room. They are different from children's dolls. Each of them is nearly two meters tall, and the spears in their hands are shining with cold light and are very sharp. "If it were alive, it would be an army." Albus sighed meaningfully. The army, the soldiers... Lumian suddenly recalled the feeling of surrender in the King Cake game, his reaction when the wax figure attacked him, and the embarrassing hierarchy within the "Iron Cross" - "Captain", "Deputy Commander", "Officer", "NCO" and "Soldier". As various thoughts came to mind, Lumian had some guesses: "The 'Hunter' path will involve the military, obedience, and hierarchy? "The wax figures are driven soldiers, and so are these tin dolls? Do the high-sequence masters of the Hunter Path have the ability to create their own special soldiers? "There are indeed traces of the Hunter Path everywhere in the underground palace of Red Swan Castle. No wonder we encounter monsters on this path so often..."
This also means that Lumian does not need to search, and can get the corresponding rewards just by fighting. What a dangerous hunting ground where one could become prey and reap a rich harvest! He sighed sincerely. Lumian then saw Albus Medici creating balls of compressed white fire and throwing them randomly to different parts of the room. The fireballs did not explode, but stayed quietly on the ground, on the shoulders and hats of the tin soldiers. When the three of them left the room, Albus handed the calcium carbide lamp to his left hand, raised his right palm, and snapped his fingers like Lumian. Boom! Boom! Boom! In the room behind them, those blazing white fireballs exploded one after another, igniting each other and causing the ground to shake slightly. "Delayed explosion"! One of the abilities of the "Arsonist" is "Delayed Explosion"! Although the iron soldiers in the room were all made of metal, under the huge shock wave, some of them were missing arms and legs, or their internal parts were damaged, and some were buried in stone bricks by the collapsed walls. Seeing Lumian looking at him, Albus smiled: "Eliminate hidden dangers, just like you did with those wax figures." "I thought you didn't dare." Lumian smiled back. As for Albus's performance, he knew the other party's purpose when he saw it just now. He was surprised that the underground palace of Red Swan Castle seemed to have some kind of self-protection mechanism. No matter how big the explosion or the fire was, it could only affect one room and would not spill over. Well, without this kind of self-protection, with the monsters rampant here, Red Swan Castle would have collapsed long ago... Lumian saw another corridor sloping downwards in front of him. At the end of the corridor was a pair of heavy iron doors. Large patches of red were scattered randomly on the dark black background, as if someone had splashed blood on it. Eros took a slow breath and walked in front of Lumian and Albus. She reached the gate, put down the calcium carbide lamp, stretched out her hands, leaned forward, and pushed hard. With a teeth-grinding friction sound, the double-door iron-black door slowly opened backwards. Lumian immediately saw the large area of candlelight and his eyelids couldn't help but twitch. The bronze coffin that appeared in his nightmare appeared vividly in his eyes. At this time, nearly one-third of the white candles around the coffin had been extinguished, but a large part was still burning. In the flickering candlelight, the door was fully opened. Lumian looked around quickly but didn't see any other figures. The three "hunters" stopped at the door and no one moved forward for more than ten seconds. Finally, Albus Medici turned his head and asked in a mocking tone: "Why don't you go in?" "Why did you stop too?" Eloise Einhorn asked instead of answering. "We are waiting for you to come in first." Lumian smiled easily. This hall looks very dangerous and hides a very big secret. Of course, we have to let others explore the way first! Lumian found that not only he thought so, but Albus and Eros thought so too. Albus looked away and laughed softly:
"Since you are all cowards, I have to do it myself." After saying that, he suddenly knelt down on one knee and supported himself with his hands on the ground. Two scarlet fire snakes leaped out silently and headed straight for the bronze coffin. Hey! Lumian's eyes narrowed. He didn't expect Albus to be so reckless. Attack the thing that might have the biggest problem without any investigation? Eros's expression froze, and her right hand subconsciously stretched forward, as if trying to stop Albus.
