Click, click, click
After making preparations for outward exploration, Xiang Xun divided the team into three groups according to one of the previously discussed plans.
Xiang Xun and Wen Li, who were riding on the Fierce Wind Eagle, were in a group. Vice President Deng Lin was in a group with freshman Chen Jiashu. Mu Liuyue was in a group of her own.
This was divided in consideration of everyone's respective action patterns. Mu Chuyue, who possessed dark adaptability, could directly enter the shadow space through her pet's skills when necessary, so it was more convenient for her to act on her own when exploring.
After agreeing on the time to meet and the method of remote communication, the three groups dispersed on the spot and flew off in different directions.
Mu Huoyue and Nightmare Knight chose the left direction, which was the position where she looked out when she just arrived here.
The front looks like an endless swamp. The endless black mud is simplified into earthy colors in the distance, mixed with the dark green in the distance, forming mottled blocks of color that connect to the horizon.
It seemed that there was nothing wrong, but Mu Xiuyue felt an indescribable sense of disharmony.
This "sky and earth are one line" phenomenon appears in the natural environment. It is caused by the curvature of the planet and the perspective principle of human vision.
However, the secret realm does not have the conditions to truly present the "One Line between Heaven and Earth". At least in the current area where the normal latent energy value is less than 8000wP, there should not be such a vast environment.
Those abrupt and mottled blocks of color at the end of the sight between the sky and the earth are not the appearance of natural scenery in the distance, but are most likely real "blocks of color".
The power to build this secret space imitates a special natural environment on the planet to present the scene inside the secret space, which is equivalent to the modeling and texturing effect of a 3D open world game.
Mu Huoyue had encountered a similar situation before, in the D-level secret realm [Star Dragon Earl's Palace] where she first met Eren.
The scope of the secret realm is very small, only the size of an ancient castle mansion, so the internal structure appears to be extremely real. Only on the bookshelf in the study are some places that are different from reality exposed.
Those books that only have an appearance cannot be taken out and opened. Like decorative paintings, they can only remain on the bookshelf and become a part of the picture that deceives the vision of people passing by.
Therefore, Mu Chuyue was very concerned about the distant view in this space. Since he couldn't find any other clues now, he might as well go there and take a closer look. Maybe he could find something.
Just as he was thinking about it, the Nightmare Knight who was walking in the air stopped.
A sticky, fishy wind blew past her. Mu Chuyue turned her head and saw large strings of bubbles gushing out from the swamp below.
Some kind of aquatic plant different from ordinary duckweed covered the surface of the swamp. From the depths of the mud, a bright green vine emerged. It was as thick as a bowl and spread over the water like a snake. Suddenly, it shot into the air.
The Nightmare Knight protected the Beastmaster with one hand, and in his other hand a long sword burning with blue flames appeared, which easily blocked the attack of the vines.
Then, the nightmare horse's tail suddenly spread out backwards, and the diffused black mist caught a long flesh-red object that was attacking this side, and dissolved its dripping juice as well.
Mu Huoyue looked back and saw that it was actually a tongue, also an attack from a swamp creature.
This was the tongue of a giant frog that was half a person's height. It was stained with an ominous blue light and obviously contained a strong biological toxin.
Fortunately, the [Death Mist] of the undead supernatural creatures can completely isolate this type of biological toxins.
Mu Chuyue frowned slightly. She recognized the bright green vine on the water. It was a high-level warrior race of the water and earth systems, the [Water Rock Snake]. The racial characteristic was that it could mimic ordinary vines to capture approaching prey.
Although it looks very much like a vine, it has nothing to do with any wood-type supernatural creature. Novice Beastmasters who cannot distinguish this often suffer losses in battle.
The other giant frog looked like a high-level earth-type warrior species, the Poison Dart Frog, but with a different color.
The two guys who attacked her were both relatively common earth-type supernatural creatures in the wild secret realm.
"Ellen?" Mu Huoyue was a little confused.
When the Nightmare Knight remains in the projection state, its own presence will be reduced. Because they have to move in dangerous wild secrets, Mu Huiyue specially asked Eren to adjust his actions before entering the "Dou Zhuan Star Domain" so that he can exist as a truly advanced imperial race.
Even if he did not deploy the Imperial Domain·Subspace, the pressure naturally emanating from the Nightmare Knight could catch up with the [Deterrence] of ordinary monarch races.
Normally, wild supernatural creatures of the high-level warrior race would never have the courage to actively attack the Nightmare Knight.
"Click." (These little things are a little weird.)
The Nightmare Knight's head, resting in the Beastmaster's arms, also made a slightly puzzled clicking sound.
“Crack, crack.” (It’s not just the pressure that comes naturally. The moment I felt the poison dart frog, I briefly released the subspace, and the other party was unmoved.)
Mu Shuyue heard the description of "unmoved" in Eren's clicking sound.
This is a bit subtle. A supernatural being that can remain unmoved by the realm of the upper emperor of a higher emperor race...
She subconsciously looked at her investigator bracelet. These two extraordinary creatures were the races that Mu Huoyue was more familiar with, so she did not open the bracelet to perform an illustration check immediately.
What surprised Mu Chuyue was that the signal on the bracelet flashed twice, and a projection pop-up window that was supposed to display the illustration information popped up, but the content was blank at this moment.
She had encountered abnormal information display on the bracelet several times in the past, but this was the first time it was blank.
This means that the two extraordinary creatures in front of them may not be the same race as they appear, and the bracelet's atlas sensor failed to find the object that should be detected and display information, so there is only a blank space on the pop-up window.
Another frog tongue with venom attacked. Mu Shuyue remained motionless in the protection of the death fog and said, "Get rid of them first, Eren."
The Nightmare Knight turned around in the air and raised the hand holding the sword. Two miniature black hole-like shadows appeared on the sides of the [Water Rock Snake] and the [Poison Dart Frog] at the same time. The huge energy erupting from the shadow space continued to tear apart everything in the real space.
A-level dark attack skill [Shadow Collapse]!
The two wild earth-type extraordinary creatures appeared to have just entered maturity and were considered relatively powerful individuals in the wild, but they still seemed vulnerable in the face of the all-out attack of the imperial race.
The energy of the shadow collapse easily tore apart the vines and the giant frog. At the moment when the skill hit the vital point, tiny white particles appeared on the bodies of the two extraordinary creatures, as if they were gradually being digitized, and then with a dull bang, they shattered and disappeared under the heavy weight.
It was a true "disappearance". There were no more vines or giant frog remains in the swamp. All of their bodies were transformed into tiny white particles by the hit of [Shadow Collapse] and scattered in the air.
Those small white particles emit a soft light, like fragments of sunlight, and look surprisingly beautiful.
Mu Huiyue asked the Nightmare Knight to stop at a position close to where the vines disappeared, and an exceptionally large particle of white light emerged here.
This thing is about two or three centimeters long, and has the shape of a regular cube. It emits the same soft white light all over. It seems to have life, and it is spinning panicky and at a loss on the spot.
Mu Liuyue looked at the investigator's bracelet as if she sensed something.
A new video frame popped up on the bracelet. It was no longer blank, but displayed new illustration information.
[Name]: Monochrome magic element (white light body)
【property】:? ? ?
[Racial Level]: High-level warrior
[Growth Level]: Maturity Stage 1
【Talent Core】:? ? ?
[Introduction to the Race]: Influenced by the power of the "Dou Zhuan Star Domain" rules, it reached a consensus with the master of the secret realm to block the information about the relevant extraordinary creatures in the secret realm. Viewing detailed information requires investigator privileges of B level or above.
[Normal implicit energy value]: 54255P
A B-level investigator needs to have a master-level beastmaster's license, which in reality means he must be the person in charge of "Dou Zhuan Star Domain" affairs at Jingzhou University. Although he is affected by the power of the secret realm's rules, he can still call upon information in the affairs bureau's database in times of emergency.
The illustrated information says that this small square is a white light body in the [Monochrome Magic Element]. Even if the key information is hidden, the revealed name and hidden energy value can explain part of the problem.
This [Monochrome Magic Element] is undoubtedly an important part of the core mechanism of "Dou Zhuan Xing Yu". It is not just a supernatural creature living in the secret realm. Otherwise, there is no need to hide the race introduction in the illustration information.
Its racial level and growth stage are consistent with the [Water Rock Snake] it transformed into before, but as a high-level warrior race and a mature extraordinary creature, its normal hidden energy value is only over 50,000P, which is more than half lower than normal.
Mu Huiyue had just encountered a situation where the normal hidden energy value was too low not long ago, and it was in the secret realm of "Dou Zhuan Star Domain" itself.
The S-level secret realm has a regional hidden energy value far below the normal level, and the key creatures therein also have normal hidden energy values lower than those of the same level and species... Could this be just a simple coincidence?
If not, what is the reason for this phenomenon?
Mu Yuyue fell into deep thought.
She reached out and pinched the small cube emitting white light, and collected the other one that was separated after the [Poison Dart Frog] disappeared, and gave it to Ellen to put into the [Shadow Space].
The two small cubes looked very flustered, spinning in vain on the spot, as if they were trembling.
They were probably in a stage where it was difficult for them to take any action. Even though they looked terrified, they were completely unable to resist Mu Huiyue's behavior of pinching them all.
When the Nightmare Knight, who was emitting a strong dark aura, approached, the two white light bodies [Monochrome Magic Element] suddenly spun more fiercely.
Allen took them from the beastmaster, paused for a moment, and then handed the small cubes back.
"Click." (It seems to be difficult to put in.)
The head that Nightmare Knight held at his waist made a gentle clicking sound.
“Crack, crack.” (These two little things… should have the [Light Attribute], so the shadow space cannot contain them.)
