Chapter 562 Shadow Lurking Monster

……

Bobo exclaimed:
"So the legendary dimensional anchors are two women?"

Kret coughed:
"It's the rock."

"As for those two women, frankly speaking, I don't know where they came from."

"But since they appeared in Beckman's bedroom, they must have extraordinary origins. We must not take it lightly."

Matthew shared the same view as Crater.

He was not in a hurry to break into the bedroom, but relied on the power of his own domain to continuously dispel the shadows around him.

This process took some time, which provided just enough buffer for him to observe what was happening in the bedroom.

Matthew opened the door a little wider and looked inside.

Compared to the grand scene of the hall filled with shadow creatures, Beckman's bedroom seemed much quieter.

Except for the two naked women on the big bed in the middle.

Matthew has not observed the existence of other life yet.

This room was actually very large, probably as big as the hall they had passed through before. As Matthew gradually dispelled the shadows in the room, the place seemed a little too empty.

"It looks like he moved all the furniture."

"Only the big bed in the middle is left..."

"Besides the two women and the hooked stone that looks like a dimensional anchor, there's not much to note."

Three minutes later.

Matthew made such a judgment.

He turned his attention to Richard and others, and the feedback given to him by the legendary wanderers was not much different.

"strangeness."

"If that stone is really the dimensional anchor that determines the success or failure of this incident, why didn't Beckman deploy heavy troops in this place where people are most needed?"

"Or does he think that no one can pass through the Shadow Trench, and those shadow monsters in the hall are enough?"

Matthew felt more alert again.

By this time most of the shadows had dispersed.

Everyone left the corridor and walked into the bedroom.

No need for Matthew to remind you.

Even the most reckless Bobo did not touch anything on the bed directly.

They gathered around the big bed and looked at it carefully.

First of all.

Of course, Matthew's attention was on the two unconscious women.

Their appearance here is so abrupt, and their fair skin is out of place in the shadow realm.

Their aura was very weak, they were basically mortals.

At first Matthew thought they were sacrifices in some kind of ritual performed by Beckman.

But oddly enough.

There were no scars on the bodies of the two women. Although they were unconscious, their breathing was not unstable at all, their vital signs were healthy, and even their souls were quite stable!
Nor did they bear any of the characteristics that marked them as sacrificial offerings.

This makes it even more strange.

"Do you want me to wake them up?"

Lumiere asked:
"Or put a piece of clothing on them?"

Matthew shook his head slightly.

next second.

He pondered and summoned two mice.

twitter!

Under the gaze of everyone, the two mice ran quickly towards the big bed and arrived next to the two women in no time.

"Wait Matthew, you don't want to..."

Lumiere hadn't finished his words yet.

One of the mice had already crawled to the ankle of a woman, and then bit her white skin!
Silently.

The woman's figure suddenly turned into a shadow, and a dark red eye flashed in the shadow!

Followed by.

The woman and the mouse disappeared on the big bed together, leaving no trace.

Everything was silent.

Matthew curled his lips when he saw this and ordered the other mouse to do the same. Although the poor little mouse was unwilling, under Matthew's command, it had no choice but to run to the other woman, imitate its companion's actions, and then quickly followed in its companion's footsteps - disappearing completely in an instant.

"It's the Shadow Lurker."

Richard said:

"I've only heard of the name of this monster before, but I've never seen one."

"It is said that this is a monster that only lives in the deep shadow plane. It can change into the form of any creature. In order to make its transformation more realistic, the things it changes into are usually motionless."

"And once an ordinary person is caught off guard and comes into contact with a monster transformed by a dormant monster, he will be immediately teleported to the deepest part of the shadow plane."

"There is a saying that after contact and transmission, the Shadow Lurker will definitely perish together with any living creature in the material world that comes into contact with it - this is also the reason why they only live in the depths of the Shadow Plane."

"Some people also believe that Shadow Lurkers are monsters designed by a powerful Shadow Lord. Their functions are similar to those of Treasure Box Monsters. They are also evil creatures designed to lure adventurers."

"Now it seems that some of the rumors are not without reason. The reason why Beckman only placed two dormant monsters in the bedroom is probably because he thought that only a few people could pass through the Shadow Trench outside, and two dormant monsters were enough..."

Sener suddenly interrupted him:

"How do you know there are only two dormants?"

"What if this bed and that stone are dormant monsters?"

Richard raised his eyebrows and was about to argue with him.

Feiliwen and Carmela next to them used "Powerful Life Detection" and "Activation" at the same time.

The results of life detection showed that there were no other living things in the bedroom;

As soon as Carmella's activation technique touched the big bed, the latter immediately stretched out a thick tongue and tried frantically to lick everyone, but Lumiere pulled out the entire tongue!
"Since the bed can be animated, it must not be a dormant monster."

"The stone didn't react, so I can't be sure."

Carmela said calmly.

Matthew shrugged:

"It's okay. I still have a lot of mice."

next second.

He released a large number of mice to actively touch the objects in the bedroom, and as a result, four shadow lurking monsters actually appeared!
They are disguised as bed sheets, chamber pots, coats of arms and a book respectively!

"Now, we can be sure that this stone is not a dormant monster."

Let the mice run wild in the bedroom.

Matthew came to the stone and gently stroked the surface of the stone with his wizard's hand.

"Such a high density. I really don't know how it was synthesized. Or maybe it is a rare material found in some high-pressure corner of the star realm..."

"Incredible size. How did the Tongluo people make such a large dimensional anchor?"

Matthew was no stranger to dimensional anchors.

In the Seven Saints Alliance.

This is a technology that is widely used in floating cities, wizard towers and other buildings that require additional space to expand.

It is usually used interchangeably with space folding technology, half-plane development technology, etc.

It mainly serves as an anchoring role.

But before that.

The dimensional anchors he had come into contact with were all extremely small in size. Even Ronan, who was known for his love of space folding and demiplane anchoring, did not set up a dimensional anchor larger than a fist in his crucible.

This is within the dimensional anchor specifications of the Seven Saints Alliance.

It’s already an extra large cup!

And this stone in front of me...

Matthew made a silent estimate in his mind.

"This thing is at least a hundred times more powerful than the largest dimensional anchor in the alliance..."

However, the anchoring effect of the dimensional anchor does not increase linearly with the increase in size.

Matthew is not an expert in plane studies, but he has two talented wizards with solid theoretical knowledge.

Without waiting for Matthew to ask.

Fei Liwen said conveniently:

"The size of this dimensional anchor is more than 370 times that of the largest dimensional anchor we know of. The gravity it can provide is approximately 5,000 to 30,000 times—"

"I can't measure the specific data yet, because my spell identification can only analyze less than 60% of the materials and substances that make up this dimensional anchor. I have never seen the rest before. I guess they are products of remote star realms."

"Although it is shocking, this is indeed a dimensional anchor..."

Kret said proudly:
"I'm not wrong. This is truly the perception of an ancient dragon. Although it's not as accurate as you mages, it can sometimes go deeper into the essence."

Matthew nodded slightly.

Subsequently.

After some observation and discussion, everyone basically determined the operating mechanism of this dimensional anchor.

As long as someone can throw this dimensional anchor into the blood river of purgatory.

The latter will automatically sink into the depths of the core of the Purgatory Plane.

Due to the powerful special effects attached to the dimensional anchor.

During this period, the more violently the Blood River Will resists, the deeper the dimensional anchor will penetrate, until it is completely embedded.

since then.

The dimensional anchor will continuously send specific gravitational force to the planet or plane where the Tongluo gods are located.

Although this gravitational force will be weak at first, once it gradually stabilizes, it will be able to create an inter-dimensional channel for the gods of Tongluo.

"The issue is……"

After listening to Matthew and others' analysis, Bobo asked:
"How is he going to throw the dimensional anchor into the blood river?"

"According to what you said, the properties of this substance are very special. It cannot be placed in ordinary storage items. Its density is very high and its weight is incredible. If an ordinary person touches it, he may be killed by the gravitational field..."

"I just sensed its properties. Even among our people present, few can carry this stone, right?"

Lumiere was a little unconvinced.

He took a few steps forward, inserted the mechanical arm into the bottom of the dimensional anchor, and tried with all his strength—

"I...can't lift it!"

He exclaimed:

"This seems heavier than a mountain!"

The others also tried it with great interest, and then they all expressed their admiration for the weight of the dimensional anchor.

This thing cannot be captured by mental power and cannot be stuffed into ordinary storage items or even demiplanes.

Those things are not strong enough to accommodate this dimensional anchor.

Paradise Lost can accommodate it.

But the prerequisite for containment is that Matthew must be able to lift the dimensional anchor with his own strength, at least once.

"So, Bobo's question just now is quite meaningful."

Luo Lan said leisurely:
"With such heavy materials, not to mention this equally dense bed, the floor of this room can support their weight. This is also an absurd thing, isn't it?"

Everyone nodded.

They focus on the soles of their feet.

The wanderers checked the room and found nothing unusual.

“And this is the biggest anomaly.”

The experienced Sener analyzed:

"If a problem doesn't appear to be a problem, it's because we can't see it."

"I suggest we get out of here first, or at least retreat back to the corridor."

"Since entering the bedroom, I have felt a strong sense of uneasiness. In the past, this uneasiness would become more and more intense, but now, my uneasiness is fading rapidly..."

Speaking of it.

He suddenly glanced at Richard.

The latter rarely disagreed with Sener this time:

"I feel the same way. The uneasiness is fading, which is not necessarily a good thing. It is more likely that some powerful creature is suppressing its aura and reducing its threat..."

"Like a predator hunting its prey, all they need to do is lurk quietly and confuse their opponent before delivering the fatal blow."

"Giant spaceships, shadow trenches, and the corridor just now, I always have a faint sense of crisis when walking in those areas. Only in this bedroom, I feel at ease. This is too abnormal!"

Hear this.

Matthew said without hesitation:

"Back off first!"

Everyone retreated to the edge of the corridor in time.

They watched for a while again, and found that the bedroom was in a stable state.

There was no fluctuation in the surrounding atmosphere.

Matthew sensed the domain and found that the shadow domain he had driven away did not appear to fill in or counterattack -

His expression changed instantly.

Various strange phenomena indicate that a powerful and terrifying creature is secretly controlling the situation in the bedroom and the surrounding area!

"who is it?"

"Who is spying in the dark?"

Matthew tried to locate the enemy.

However, the powerful perception lost its effect at this moment, and neither he nor others found any trace of the potential enemy.

"do not care!"

"The Dimension Anchor must be taken away!"

Matthew made up his mind.

"We'll retreat after we take it!"

"Do you need me to strengthen your power?"

Carmela asked.

Matthew shook his head.

next moment.
