Global Freeze Get a Modifier at the Beginning

Chapter 449: Scored twice

At this moment, he did one thing.

He walked out from behind a nearby tree, then raised the Bronze Lantern in his hand, letting its black light shine on the three men and one woman.

The lantern emitted an eerie black glow, its light flowing slowly like a tangible substance, resembling thick ink or dark tentacles, silently spreading over them.

Under the shroud of the black light, space seemed to be arbitrarily kneaded by an invisible giant hand.

The originally calm space rippled in layers, then began to violently twist.

Light also became chaotic in this distortion, refracting strange and grotesque light and shadows.

A low buzzing sound reached Liang Yu’s ears, as if space was groaning in pain.

The scene before him became increasingly blurry, the figures of the four people gradually turning illusory in the twisted space, like reflections in water, about to dissipate after being blown by a strong wind.

The black light intensified, completely engulfing the figures of the four.

The four people seen earlier had vanished without a trace, leaving only an empty space, as if they had never appeared there.

Sure enough, he knew something was wrong.

How could a group of people appear out of nowhere? However, he didn’t understand what that sound was about.

But this also made Liang Yu realize once again that the Bronze Lantern in his hand was a good item; with it, he could at least avoid a lot of trouble.

Based on his experience, the four people just now should have been an illusion; perhaps he had accidentally fallen into a trap at some point.

Of course, there was another possibility.

What he saw was a mirage, a real event, but for some reason, the image was projected in front of him and then swallowed by the black light of the Bronze Lantern in his hand.

No matter which possibility it was, Liang Yu’s current thought was to leave this forest as soon as possible; he had a vague premonition that something existed in the forest.

The damned feeling of being watched, which had persisted since entering the forest, had not disappeared; he felt as if his every move was being seen.

This feeling made him extremely uncomfortable, but now, apart from instantly teleporting away, he had no other option.

However, he still wanted to continue exploring this land to figure out exactly where this place was; therefore, instant teleportation could only be used to save his life.

After the illusion incident, Liang Yu carved a feather mark on a nearby tree with his Aurora Sword, then continued walking forward.

Liang Yu walked cautiously, each step light, his ears alertly catching the sounds around him.

Suddenly, a faint rustling sound came from his left; he instantly stopped, gripping the Aurora Sword in his hand.

The sound grew closer, and a huge dark shadow slowly emerged from behind a tree.

It was a mutated beast, mountain-sized, covered in scales, emitting a nauseating stench, its blood-red eyes fixed on Liang Yu.

Liang Yu noticed the putrid smell, then stared intently at the mutated beast’s movements; at this moment, he was thinking that if there was a stench, then this mutated beast in front of him should be real.

The moment the mutated beast pounced, he dodged sideways, avoiding its attack.

At the same time, Liang Yu remembered the Bronze Lantern in his hand.

He quickly raised the lantern, and black light once again emanated, enveloping the mutated beast.

The mutated beast, once covered by the black light, remained still, then began to tremble, melt, and gradually disappear under the erosion of the black light.

This completely confused Liang Yu; was that mutated beast an illusion or a physical entity?

If it was an illusion, it was too real; not only did it deceive his sight, but it also deceived his sense of smell.

But then the Bronze Lantern’s performance made him think that it wasn’t an illusion; the Bronze Lantern was clearly eating like an ordinary person.

It was too bizarre; Liang Yu had a headache, wondering where he had been teleported to.

Liang Yu kept complaining and cursing inwardly, those words churning in his mind like boiling water.

Just then, a faint stir came from ahead again, a subtle sound, like a signal, instantly seizing his nerves.

Liang Yu instinctively looked up and saw the same group of three men and one woman from before.

Their figures flickered in the dim light, their outlines gradually becoming clear.

Soon he understood the situation: it was again the same old chase scene, which he found incredibly boring; couldn’t there be something new?

His internal complaints aside, this time he didn’t hide; instead, he slowly walked towards them.

The eyes of the four on the opposite side simultaneously fixed on Liang Yu; they saw a person in golden and silver armor, holding a weapon in one hand and a lantern emitting black light in the other, walking towards them.

At that moment, time seemed to be paused; their movements briefly stagnated, their expressions varied, showing surprise, confusion, and vigilance.

The first to break this eerie silence was the Military Uniform Woman.

Her posture was agile, her eyes sharp; after a brief pause, she quickly reacted.

She abruptly pushed off the ground with both feet, her figure dashing towards Liang Yu like an arrow released from a bowstring.

Her long hair danced wildly in the strong wind, her military uniform subtly rising and falling with her running movements, each step firm and powerful, making clear sounds on the ground.

The other party quickly reached Liang Yu’s back, maintaining a certain distance from him.

The other three, seeing this, also came to their senses as if waking from a dream, but their eyes clearly held fear when looking at Liang Yu.

As Liang Yu continuously approached, these three men not only did not move forward but began to retreat.

This scene made Liang Yu frown slightly; this illusion was too real.

Whether it was the Military Uniform Woman just now or these three men in front of him, the details were perfectly controlled, as if they were real.

Real?!

Suddenly, Liang Yu seemed to realize that what was before him was not an illusion.

The next moment, the Emperor Magnetic Field was activated again.

Under the unique sensing effect of the Emperor Magnetic Field, he clearly ‘saw’ the four people around him; that perception was like fine threads, precisely outlining each person’s existence.

However, his attention was quickly drawn to the three men in front of him; their true appearance was completely revealed under the Emperor Magnetic Field.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, carefully observing the three men.

He believed the Emperor Magnetic Field’s sensing would not be wrong, so these three men retreating must be out of fear of the Bronze Lantern in his hand.

Then he did not press closer; instead, he turned to observe the Military Uniform Woman who had moved behind him.

The other party was extremely disheveled at this point, with wounds of varying sizes all over her body; it seemed her body had probably reached its limit.
