Don't call me evil god

Chapter 962 We’ve come to the right place!
When it comes to leading the way, Gray is really good at it.

After passing through the Silent Woods, the rest of the journey was filled with nothing but the oppressive darkness and several possible attacks, but they were all managed safely thanks to Gray's reminders.

He has the unique way of the gray dwarves to sense the existence of danger, and then remind everyone to hide in advance.

of course.

When it comes to "hiddenness", the seekers of knowledge and Gray have different understandings.

Gray's idea was to hide and save his life.

To survive in the Deeplands, saving one's life is the instinct of almost all gray dwarves. Faced with various dangerous attacks, most of the time, they have to hide.

After discovering a monster, hide and wait for it to lose patience and leave before taking action.

After all, they would probably not be able to defeat those monsters in a head-on confrontation.

This is not the case with seekers of knowledge.

What they are thinking about is to hide, then take advantage of the monster's unpreparedness to launch a preemptive attack, and try to kill it in one second with a combo!

The difference in understanding led to many embarrassing situations for Gray along the way.

He gestured for everyone to hide, and he was doing fine while hiding.

As soon as the monster appeared, the seekers of knowledge immediately launched colorful magic, arrows, traps, bombs and other things at it!
The soldiers didn't even dare to get close to the enemy for combat, otherwise they would definitely be injured by their companions.

After this round of bombardment, the monster would be seriously injured if not dead.

All that's left is to go up and make a few more kills and reap the spoils.

After several battles, Gray finally understood.

These guys from the surface all have special skills, so they don't have to worry about the risk of being attacked by monsters at all.

On the contrary, the monsters need to pray hard that they don’t run into these strong men when wandering around!

Otherwise, there is a high probability that it will become another piece of trophy in everyone’s backpack!

……

Howling Abyss.

A winding and twisting eerie canyon with no end in sight.

After passing through the darkness of the abyss and arriving at the entrance of the canyon, everyone could already vaguely hear the faint and shrill howling coming from the depths.

“Woo… woo… woo… woo…”

"Tsk!" Lancelot frowned and rubbed his arm.

The wailing sound gave him goose bumps and was creepy to listen to.

Gray's expression was a little nervous, but he was no longer as timid as before. He bravely explained to everyone:
"Ghosts are invisible and intangible. They like to move in groups and attack different targets at the same time. It's impossible to find them, and we don't know what kind of attack method will be effective against them. The only way to avoid them is to stay away from the howling sound."

"If it's this kind of faint sound now, it means the ghosts are still very far away from us. They shouldn't notice us."

"If the howling sounds become clearer and more continuous, it means there are ghosts wandering around us, and we are in danger of being discovered by them."

"The worst case scenario is when the sound becomes so loud and mournful that it seems like it's wailing right next to you."

"That means... Gudong..."

Gray swallowed.

"They have come near you."

"Then, with the ghosts' attacking method, some of us will disappear in the blink of an eye. The ghosts will take them to another world, and they will never be able to return..."

Gray's tone seemed to carry a gloomy flavor.

Anyone who hears this creepy way of attack will feel a little scared.

They are invisible and intangible, and even their methods of attack are as strange as legendary ghosts, which means that the attacks of these monsters cannot be countered at all.

They seemed to have no weaknesses. But to the believers of knowledge, they had serious doubts about Gray's description.

The gray dwarves have been suffering from cognitive disturbances.

For many things, their understanding is completely different from the actual situation, or even completely opposite.

Like the Metal Thing.

In the perception of the gray dwarves, the so-called undead monster is actually because this guy is made entirely of metal. He is the only "metal beast" discovered by the followers of Nowen so far.

What they understood as immortality was simply that they had not found the correct way to deal with it.

After Vincent tamed the metal monster, he quickly figured out its weakness.

It is afraid of low temperatures.

The extremely low temperature will cause changes in the properties of its body - that is, various metal structures. At this time, it will become extremely fragile and move slowly.

At this point, even a child who is just old enough to pick up a weapon can easily kill it.

This is a complete blind spot in the gray dwarves' cognition!
They thought about chopping off the head of the "Spine Snake", cutting it into pieces, and burning its body with fire.

But those are ways to deal with "beasts".

Without understanding the true nature of the metal monster, no matter how many attempts we make, it will be in vain in the end.

But as long as we can clearly understand what kind of existence this guy is and find its weaknesses, it can also be sanctioned and eliminated.

Everyone is now 80% to 90% confident in predicting that those ghosts described as magical by the gray dwarves are also the product of some kind of cognitive interference.

What we need to do now is just to confirm with our own eyes whether those ghosts are connected with the people of the Church of Supreme Truth!

……

Gray held the Phantom Fire Lantern in his left hand and held a pinch of Gospel Powder in his right palm. After hesitating for a moment, he sprinkled it into the lantern, then lowered his head and took a few quick puffs.

"Hu-hu-"

An intoxicated look appeared on his face involuntarily. He turned his head and looked at everyone with a grin:

"Would you like some? You won't be so nervous after you smoke it."

When they were exploring the psychedelic smoking den that day, Dolan found an excuse to treat Gary and coaxed him into joining. In the latter's eyes, they were now considered "smoking buddies".

The gospel is very cheap, so Gray doesn't feel bad about sharing it.

"Ahem, forget it." Dolan waved his hand decisively.

After recognizing the true effect of the gospel, they would never try it even if they were killed.

Gray didn't care.

He took a few deep puffs of the gospel powder that was quietly burning in the lantern and emitting blue-purple smoke, then he mustered up his courage and took a step forward.

The believers followed him and quickly entered the entrance of the Howling Abyss Canyon.

As soon as we entered this area.

As the shrill howling suddenly became clearer, the "visibility" of the surrounding environment also narrowed instantly.

The visible range of dozens of meters that the Phantom Fire Lantern originally provided was once again shrunk to a depressing state of only a dozen meters.

A groggy feeling came over me.

Everyone suddenly became alert.

There was only the darkness that grew thicker without warning, and the familiar smell of "void".

They came to the right place!
