Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 173 Moon Beast
They reached the end of the shadows and everyone pulled out another map.

This is the map with the big banyan tree and the well at night. The east and west sides are areas that have been explored by predecessors, not the core area they are looking for. There is another map with the route to the core area, and there are no reference objects and coordinates on it around them.

"Go to the north of the banyan tree." Baihe said like a guide.

To reach the core area, one has to take unexplored routes.

"But how do we get over there? Just hold up this umbrella and go over there?" Liu Yilong looked at the ten-meter-long stretch of land between them and the banyan tree, illuminated by moonlight.

Objects brought in from outside will be penetrated by the moonlight.

The objects that already exist in the village can block the moonlight.

So Xia Shou and his friends took the time to make an umbrella with a simple structure during the day.

But when it came time to actually try it, everyone got nervous.

They didn't think that they could crack the moonlight with such a simple method, but they decided to give it a try.

"In short, let's try it first and don't let anyone go out." Xia Shou said.

Liu Yilong picked up the umbrella and opened it, then placed the umbrella made of simple props such as leaves, branches, and clay under the moonlight.

…no shadow.

The moonlight shines through the umbrella.

"Hiss!" Liu Yilong took a breath of cold air, "This is too buggy."

Xia Shou sighed: "That's normal. If it's so easy to crack, the previous investigators wouldn't have thought of it."

Bai He touched the copper coin mask and threw a stone at random. The stone rolled to the ground, and a small faint shadow appeared.

"Sure enough, a randomly thrown stone can create a shadow under the moonlight, but the umbrella we made can't. Maybe it's because the raw materials used to make this thing are not pure enough."

"Not pure enough? They are all made from local materials in the village, what's wrong with that?" Wu Lang asked.

Bai He tapped his temple: "Thoughts, in the process of making this tool, were integrated into our thoughts. Our thoughts are undoubtedly foreign objects. In the realm of the extraordinary, the dual judgment of spiritual matter is very common."

Wu Lang clapped his hands and came to his senses: "Oh, that's right! You are indeed a top student. Why didn't I think of that?"

Xia Shou added: "So it's not that there is no solution. If we can find an object that doesn't require our thoughts but looks like an umbrella, we can block the moonlight."

“Not sure, but maybe it’s possible.”

After that, a piece of tile was brought to Xia Shou by a transparent hand.

"Master Xia Shou, you can give it a try."

Xia Shou's eyes lit up: "Oh! Alice is a spirit, the moonlight can't reach Alice!"

Alice used a dozen transparent hands to take tiles from the roof, and pieced them together in the air to form a roof cover that could be moved at any time, and then lifted the roof cover into the moonlight.

But the moonlight still shines through the makeshift roof.

"How come even this is not allowed? It's obviously not processed at all!" Liu Yilong said indignantly.

Xia Shou: "Alice, try leaving only one tile."

Alice spread the tiles apart, and sure enough, a shadow appeared.

"It's actually possible to determine the degree of human thinking involvement in such a detailed manner." Bai He exclaimed, "Then there's no more tricks. We can only pay attention to whether there are any seamless obstructions, such as oversized leaves, very dense tree canopies, etc."

"So we can't get through?" Liu Yilong asked.

"No, I just want to activate my supernatural power."

After saying that, Bai He raised his hand, and a black space appeared in the air, and the moonlight bent visibly!
It’s like there is an invisible Rubik’s Cube rotating in the air. The rotating Rubik’s Cube changes the trajectory of the direct light. Through the rotation of the cube, the light is scattered to other directions, thus creating an area at the bottom of the Rubik’s Cube without direct moonlight!

Xia Shou was slightly surprised.

Unbelievable.

Isn't Bai Ge's special ability [Magic Cube] about cutting space instead of cutting matter?
No, it is not correct to say that it was cut, because the spaces were still connected to each other, and the light was not broken, but rather it was like it was teleported.

Just by seeing this scene, Xia Shou could judge that Bai He's supernatural power was very strong, extremely strong!

The ability that can affect the space itself cannot be weak!
But Brother Bai is just a second-level finisher?
Or maybe he didn't want to be promoted to the third-level finisher, so he never let anyone recommend him. "Let's pass it quickly. It's very tiring to maintain this situation." Bai He said lightly and walked forward first.

Xia Shou let Su Weiyu walk in front of him, and he followed at the end of the team to prevent Bai He from thinking that everyone had passed and canceling his supernatural power in advance.

Walking in the safe area created by the Rubik's Cube, when you look up, you will see a square black curtain.

This is because the light is transmitted sideways, and the light in this area cannot reach the human eye.

With the help of the Rubik's Cube, the group safely reached the base of the banyan tree.

When the distance was close enough, Xia Shou had a deeper understanding of the hugeness of the banyan tree.

This isn't even a tree, it's a grove.

The huge tree crown and countless branches spread out like a spider web or an umbrella rib.

The tangled vines scattered from the branches and penetrated directly into the soil, as thick and thin as small trees.

The green leaves on the top were piled up in clusters without any gaps, blocking out all the moonlight. The only light came from the fireflies of unknown origin in the treetops.

Two of the fireflies were particularly large, more conspicuous than the other fireflies around them, and as beautiful as emeralds under light.

Although this place is a dead place where no one can survive, the spectacular scenery before him still shocked Xia Shou's heart.

Suddenly, Xia Shou's pupils suddenly contracted and he shouted, "Disperse!"

But it was too late. The two emeralds on the top of his head gradually grew larger and approached quickly. They were a pair of eyes of a ferocious beast!

The claws, as thin as a cicada's wing, appeared transparent like artificial glass under the dim moonlight. In an instant, Xia Shou compared the claws with the strange wound on the corpse.

There is no doubt about it, this is the monster that killed the investigator!

The speed is ridiculously fast!

There was no time to dodge at all.

Xia Shou saw that Goro had put his hands together, as if he was ready to launch a ninjutsu, and jumped towards Shirakawa, but that was clearly the center of the attack, the most difficult position to dodge!

At the same time, Bai He also took a step back and came to the center of everyone.

In an instant, the scene in front of Xia Shou changed!
It was as if the sky above my head suddenly rotated 90 degrees! The position under my feet also moved a distance instantly!
In an instant, Xia Shou understood.

The [Magic Cube] has been activated!

They are now in Baihe's Rubik's Cube!

However, Xia Shou had no reason to be happy. When a strand of hair floated past him, a huge fear dominated his entire heart.

"Su Weiyu!!" Xia Shou yelled and turned to look to the side and behind him.

Bai He couldn't see Su Weiyu, so he couldn't count Su Weiyu as an individual.

In other words, if Su Weiyu was not in the right position, she might be cut off directly when Bai He turned the Rubik's Cube!

Su Weiyu pulled out the Tongziqi, retreated quickly, and put some distance between herself and Baihe. The hair on the right side of her body was obviously shorter than the left side, and a piece of it was cut into pieces when the Rubik's Cube was rotated just now.

Fortunately, she was not cut off.

"boom!"

The unknown beast landed with a bang, revealing its full appearance in front of everyone.

Its missed attack cut the banyan tree's roots spread out on the ground like celery, and its lush, needle-like, transparent hair rose and fell on its body like breathing, emitting a faint glow.

With a low roar like an engine, the moon beast twisted its body and turned towards the crowd.

"Ho ho ho ho!!!"

It let out a deafening roar, and its hair all over its body shone with a dazzling luster like moonlight.

Baihe opened his eyes wide, his pupils shrinking to points.

In an instant, the Rubik's Cube spun again, cutting off all the light directed at them.
