Deep in the Living

Chapter 751 Spying
Roddy now has two options in front of him.

1. Follow the advice of the unknown eye and head to the side door marked in your field of vision. From there, proceed to the dungeon and avoid being discovered by the Ancients that will appear at the main entrance.

2. Find a place to hide temporarily, try to observe the old individuals that may appear at the main entrance, and then make a judgment.

If this eyeball were a partner, Roddy would definitely choose the first one.

however,
The eyeball itself is a malevolent entity that seeks to kill him, constantly emerging from the darkness to exert mental influence and suppress his sleep.

Roddy naturally wouldn't accept this "well-intentioned reminder" from such a wicked creature; in fact, the so-called back door was probably the most dangerous place.

With his brain working quickly, Roddy made the best decision in a short time.

"Palm Channel"

Roddy teleported himself back to the guard room he had just left, and at the same time teleported the armor he hadn't taken earlier to the gate and hung it there.

Due to previous inspections, the armor still retained Roddy's scent.

He himself hid in the guard room, waiting and trying to observe.

"Hey... Black Eyeball, with your abilities you should be able to provide [extra vision], so I can see the situation at the gate even from the guard room, right?"
Let me see if that thing is as dangerous as you say.

As Roddy posed this question, his right eye indeed began to twitch. But instead of providing any visual information, it emitted a distant, resonant sound.

“My vision covers every corner, not just the main gate, I can see every corner, but I won’t help you.”

I'm just worried that your plundering will diminish my enjoyment. As long as you become vigilant, my purpose will be achieved.

In addition, I still suggest you go through the back door. This thing has smelled your scent and will always remember it... After all, there are no new things like you in this dungeon.

Finally, I'm not called Black Eyeball.

Roddy responded in a low voice: "Oh... it sounds like you're a little wary of this thing. Spying on it might cause you trouble, right?"

You're probably only good at marking and influencing; your visual abilities are quite average.

I know someone with extraordinary visual power. His eyes can reach all over the world, illuminating the entire world like a lighthouse, and even reaching the level of 'what you see is what you get'.

"Never mind, my tongue can still discern the other person's form."

His right eye furrowed slightly, and his pupil contracted slightly. His voice immediately came through:

"Huh? You're doubting my vision? You really shouldn't doubt it... Putting aside whether the 'visual creatures' you described exist, I can do all the things you're talking about."

Since you're so eager to see it, I'll let you take a look.

Right eye twitching

The second pupil moved over, like cells attaching together, and nested directly onto Roddy's own pupil.

same moment
In a corner of the outer city wall, an eyeball coalesced in the darkness, peeled off, and crawled down, staring directly at the dungeon gate.

The image seen by this eyeball will be directly synchronized to Roddy's right eye.

"Out!"

The lingering scent on the armor drew the attention of the ancient beings wandering through the dungeon hall.

As his legs stepped out of the darkness, the surrounding light seemed to flee in fear, forced out of the doorway, leaving only a dark silhouette.

humanoid
The limbs and torso are all the same.

Something seemed to be wriggling on the head, like a beak structure, and more than one, and also like various fleshy threads pulsating.

He was still dragging something in his hand.
It is heavy and long, and makes a sound as it scrapes against the ground when you walk on it.

In addition to the field of vision provided by his eyes, Roddy could also obtain information by tasting.

To everyone's surprise, just as Roddy was about to taste the flavor, his tongue suddenly curled up, actively stopping him from tasting it.

This alone is enough to prove that the eyeball did not lie; this being, lingering in the hall and undetectable by the light, is extremely dangerous.

"Can you see it a little clearer? It's not interesting to only see the outline," Roddy asked again in a low voice.

"Seeing it clearly won't do you any good."

This thing's appearance is so deeply deconstructed that once it's mapped onto your brain, your thinking will be continuously affected for a period of time. And while its vision isn't as good as mine, it's still quite capable.

Deliberately spying might reveal our location... Being hunted down right at the start is no good.

At this time,

The thing had already reached the gate, and its strange head approached.

Several long, thin, tongue-like structures pierced through the gate, licking the surface of the armor and collecting its pheromones.

The armor that had been licked corroded rapidly and turned to ashes in a short time.

This scene aroused Roddy's great curiosity, and he whispered:
"Please let me take a look. I really want to see what he looks like. Once I see him clearly, I'll choose to go through the back door, and I'll also consider your suggestions appropriately later, okay?"

The eyeballs responded, seemingly in agreement: "Even if you don't take my advice, you'll eventually be led to my location anyway... I just don't want you to become someone else's food."

Since you're so eager to see it, I'll reluctantly let you take a look.

My vision will provide a clear enough picture, so you won't regret it.

"Come."

Pupil movement.

Roddy could clearly feel a change in his vision; the darkness that had covered the old individuals was gradually being revealed.

1. A withered, blackish body, with some missing pieces of flesh replaced by jet-black hair or inlaid with metal fragments resembling armor.

2. He dragged a large bag of "filth" in his right hand, which was filled with the corpses of various strange creatures, so much so that some deformed teeth, claws or bones protruded from the burlap bag and creaked on the ground.

3. A nest has been built on its neck, a crow's nest, in which deformed crow heads grow, stuck together by a kind of black flesh.

Various jet-black beaks were scattered everywhere.

The crows' eyes were densely packed and randomly distributed.
Currently, a living tongue grows from between their beaks to lick their armor.

When you can clearly see the other person's shape,

A completely different noise suddenly rang in Roddy's mind.

Like the low notes played by a trombone,
Coupled with the sound of bird shells breaking,

And the sound of flesh being crushed.

When these noises occur

click!
Two of his teeth fell out, and the gums where they fell out grew out of crow's beaks, even piercing through his cheek.

A mocking voice followed immediately from the right eye: "Haha, I told you long ago! You can't look at this... See, you've also suffered biological deconstruction, but you just wouldn't listen."

Don't get involved with any other noise. Your ultimate destiny is to be with me. I don't want to be covered in these disgusting crows.

etc……"

The teasing voice coming from the right eye suddenly changed, becoming serious. "It's been a long time since I've seen this guy. He seems to have gotten stronger! He can already sense that I'm being watched."

Get ready to run! Go through the back door!
I'll lure it away a little, and once it's distracted, you run! Don't die at its hands; you know what will happen—that bag will be your eternal home.

Bang!

The gate is broken.

A dark shadow flashed out rapidly.
In the blink of an eye, they arrived at a corner between the city walls, and with his free left hand, he grabbed the dark eyeball.

Chirp chirp!

The creature seemed to recognize the eyeball, becoming unusually restless. The crows, whose heads were fused together, separated and competed for the right to eat from the eyeball.

When the eyeball was swallowed, the body turned around.

He caught the scent again and rushed to the guardhouse.

The door was wide open, and there was no one inside...
