Marine Species
Finally, Lu Li also learned a lot of information from the nurse. For example, Masked Man between the ages of twelve and fourteen would always experience dizziness once, and the dizziness would last for a whole day. This was a physiological phenomenon that would occur in all Masked Man, and the reason for it was still unknown.
Furthermore, the Masked Man's face can be removed, but if they don't return to it for a long time, they will die. Every year, a large number of Masked Man die because their masks are stolen. The Masked Man's five senses are the mask itself. Beneath their mask is a bottomless darkness that leads not to their body but to an unknown point. That area is extremely fragile, and touching it can lead to death. Of course, the food eaten through the mask will end up in their stomach and intestines. In addition, if the mask they wear is not Divine Power Mask, the incompatible mask will shatter within one to three days.
At this point, the nurse also told a legend: a Masked Man lost his own mask, and in order to survive, he kept stealing other people's masks. Whenever a mask broke, he would steal the mask of the next target. After an unknown amount of time, the Masked Man gradually gained extraordinary abilities and eventually went Mask Rampage, becoming the King of Shadow Monsters.
This legend is mostly told as a joke, but it's not that no one believes it; otherwise, so many Masked Man wouldn't lose their masks every year. There are even rumors that the City-State United Government is secretly conducting this experiment.
Finally, Lu Li asked some questions about the Divine Power Mask, but the nurse didn't know much. She only knew that the Divine Power Mask could awaken the mask monster's abilities and that it would emit a faint light, which was why she Lu Li's Shadow Mask for the Divine Power Mask.
Unable to obtain more information, Lu Li nodded and focused his attention on the current task. The three of them had been walking in this Morgue for almost ten minutes, but they still couldn't see the end. The air was cold everywhere. If it weren't for the fact that the nurse's snake-like behavior had been greatly reduced after she turned back into human form, she might have already passed out on the spot.
"The floor is still that kind of cement floor. This kind of unscientific spatial extension is really..." Min Zidao had been walking for so long and still hadn't found anything, so he started to get annoyed and complained about the floor under his feet, but he couldn't think of any adjectives for the moment.
"No monsters have appeared around for so long, and we can't see any walls or buildings. Have we gone to the wrong place? Is this damn space malfunctioning?" This didn't match his initial plan. Min Zidao said with some frustration, "Even the pheromone location I was tracking at the beginning has disappeared."
Min Zidao had planted landmark pheromones on the Beast Species that had left earlier. He had followed the pheromones to find his way, but not long ago the pheromones broke down, causing them to lose their way. He could only continue to release landmark pheromones as markers while cursing the mission in his heart.
"Although the space here has undergone an anomaly, expanding many times over, it's not to the point of spatial distortion. Otherwise, the difficulty of the dungeon's missions would be far too high," Lu Li calmly analyzed.
"Then why did the pheromone markers I left on the Beast Species suddenly break down?" Min Zidao knew he had lost his composure earlier, so he suppressed all his negative emotions, regained his calm, and asked Lu Li. At the same time, his wariness of Lu Li deepened. After walking in this seemingly endless, cold air -Morgue for so long, even he, who had accumulated a bellyful of negative emotions, felt that Lu Li was completely unaffected.
"Since it wasn't a spatial distortion, what if some other creature ate it?" Lu Li countered.
"No, I left behind a lot of trail marker pheromones. Even if other monsters eat them, some will still contaminate the monsters that ate them, forming new trail marker tracks," Min Zidao said definitively. "But there was a direct break in the line there before."
"Wait, it seems we've fallen into a misconception." Lu Li looked up at the ceiling-less space enveloped in cold white air. "The masked monsters can Flying Species, you know."
Looking at the vast expanse of white above, Min Zidao felt somewhat lost. They didn't have the ability to fly, and even if they guessed that something strange was up there, they couldn't get up there.
"Judging from the Beast Species they preyed on, they need to eat, or rather, they have a desire to eat." Lu Li thought for a moment, then patted Min Zidao and said, "It's up to you. Release a lot of pheromones to tell the monsters above that there is food here."
"Take care of the amount yourself, don't attract a bunch of monsters." Lu Li reminded her of the precautions, then watched the commotion with the Nurse.
Min Zidao nodded, regaining his confidence. Some of the pores on his body opened, releasing pheromones. Although the temperature was low and the air flow was relatively slow, the pheromones continued to drift and spread to distant places.
After waiting for a while, some strange sounds came from afar, and suddenly a strong wind blew, blowing the white cold air to one side, and the scene in the distance came into view of Lu Li and the others.
The ceiling transformed into the sky, stretching as far as the eye could see. In the distance, several monsters flew towards them from high above. However, these monsters were not the Flying Species they had anticipated, but rather several enormous whales. They were Marine Species creatures, and the strong wind they had encountered was brought by these Marine Species creatures.
According to the information obtained by Min Zidao and provided by the nurses, Marine Species creatures are generally large Marine Species animals, with whales being the most common, and of course, there are also Marine Species creatures such as sharks and giant octopuses.
However, Lu Li and Min Zidao fell into a misconception, thinking that Marine Species could only be found at the bottom of the sea. In fact, although they are called Marine Species and their appearance is similar to that of Marine Species creatures, they are monsters that can live in the air.
These Marine Species creatures were all over ten meters long, which is considered medium-sized for whales, but to Lu Li and his companions, they were enormous. The huge Marine Species creatures opened their huge mouths, and the powerful suction sucked in all the white, misty cold air. As the Marine Species creatures got closer, the suction became stronger and stronger, and Lu Li and his companions began to lose their balance. Finally, they were lifted off the ground and sucked into the mouths of the Marine Species creatures.
After inhaling the cold air for a while, the Marine Species creatures thought dejectedly, "Wasn't there supposed to be plenty of food here? Why have I been breathing in so much cold air all this time?" So they closed their mouths, and their nostrils on the backs of their heads immediately exhaled a large amount of cold air, forming a vast white mist.
Outside the Morgue, the vital signs of Lu Li and the other two were abruptly cut off...
