Chapter 208 Lingxu
For the residents of the sheltered area, the octopus monster did not affect their lives, and some people did not even notice the changes.
These areas are filled with magic arrays, and the water supply and sewage networks are also independent.
The disturbance caused by the monsters in the public area was brought under control in three days. The reconnaissance creatures of the Strange Item Manufacturing Association made great contributions. The monsters hidden in every corner were quickly located and killed, and the situation soon stabilized.
Late at night, Whitechapel.
The crimson moon cast a red veil over the world, and the light passed through the gray fog unhindered.
A crowd of people wearing black clothes and hats stood on the long street, but no sound was made.
After a while, horse-drawn carriages with church markings drove up quickly and stopped in front of the crowd.
Flanders bent down and stepped down from the carriage.
The witch Fili, wearing a pointed hat, smiled and greeted, "Archbishop Flanders is punctual as always."
Lisa Smit and Londo Villa beside her had no smiles on their faces, but just nodded slightly.
When Lingxu was first opened up, the church and the brotherhood kept it a secret from the city hall, and only after several explorations were official personnel allowed in to explore together.
"Even if you come early, you can only wait," Flanders responded with a smile on his face.
Originally, the three parties had agreed on the number of exploration spots, but due to the changes in Lorente Town, fewer competitors are able to come, and the number of spots given to the church has increased further, so they will be able to obtain more resources if they enter.
As the two men were greeting each other, a cloud of gray smoke suddenly rose in the middle of the street, revealing an oval-shaped portal of light that was more than two meters high and one meter wide.
Is this the portal to Lingxu?
Clown was wrapped in a black robe. Looking at the faintly glowing oval portal in front of him, he felt as if he was facing a portal in a game.
He held a long sword in his hand, a yew longbow and a bag of arrows on his back, and a revolver under his robe.
He did not bring his pet this time. He planned to confirm the basic situation here first before deciding whether to bring Fujin with him next time.
In the past few days, the archbishop has given him a detailed introduction to the situation here.
This is a different space, where the material plane and the spiritual plane meet.
The laws around the portal are close to the material plane and are relatively normal. The farther away from the portal, the more chaotic and disordered the laws become.
People experience all sorts of hallucinations, and the stronger the soul, the less interference they experience.
There are all kinds of monsters and evil spirits here, and the strength comparison in the material plane is not applicable at all in Lingxu.
A mouse here may have the ability to easily kill a second-level transcendent, and an elephant may be at the bottom of the food chain.
After the portal opened, Flanders shouted, "Stay alert."
After saying that, he took the lead and stepped into the light gate.
Crown followed closely behind, and he felt as if he had passed through a thin film of liquid and entered a colorful world.
The sky is clear and blue, the flowers are red and the willows are green, the colors are vivid, and the air is fresh.
There was the sound of flowing water nearby, and a few birds whose names I couldn't tell flew quickly over my head, chirping.
Flanders smiled kindly and said, "We were lucky. It was daytime when we came in, so we avoided a fight.
Because the rules are chaotic, the experience of the last exploration may not be applicable this time. Therefore, personal adaptability is required. "
There is also a distinction between day and night in Lingxu, but it rotates every hour, and everything seems normal during the day.
When night falls, chaos and disorder will begin, but that is also a good time to acquire resources.
As the two were talking, people participating in the exploration continued to come in.
After Fili and Rondo came in, they each left behind a team of extraordinary people and led their own forces away. These remaining team members were responsible for intercepting the monsters in Lingxu from entering the material plane through the portal.
After seeing that all the competitors had left, Flanders shouted loudly: "Let's go, we will also start exploring. The second-level team members will disperse according to the divided areas."
The archbishop raised the shield and said with a smile: "Today is the day to test the power of this shield. Let's act accordingly. When the third day arrives, gather at the gate. Don't linger in the battle."
You can only enter this place once a month, and you must evacuate before the red moon sets, so you must hurry.
Crown once asked what would happen if they did not evacuate in time, and the Archbishop replied: "All those who stayed here were contaminated and turned into creatures of the spirit world. Only the gods can resist the contamination for up to a month."
Crown didn't walk too far before stopping on a flat grassland, waiting for the night to come. He saw Flanders stopped about twenty meters away from him.
There was a winding river flowing under my feet, with small fish swimming in it whose flesh was transparent and whose white skeletons could be seen.
Time passes and night falls.
The division between day and night is very abrupt, like encountering a total solar eclipse in broad daylight.
However, the night here was like the evening outside, only very dim, with a hint of light, and he still had a field of vision of about fifty meters.
Klauen released the armor-condensing ability of the Fire Cube, and a silver light covered his right hand, enveloping his entire palm.
He hadn't swallowed the metal essence for a long time, and when he released the armor yesterday, he found a big surprise.
The iron essence that could barely cover the palm can now easily cover the entire hand, with a little bit left over, extending one centimeter towards the wrist.
He was ecstatic at the time, which meant that the metal essence he swallowed could grow on its own! His hand seals changed rapidly, and he released the Heart Purification Mantra and the Golden Light Body Protection.
With the faint glow of the golden light protecting his body, he saw the grass under his feet slowly withering and the small river beside it quickly drying up.
Soon, trees that sparkled with fluorescent light began to grow on the ground.
But the branches of these plants were tangled and twisted, as if covered with a thick layer of verdigris, and the trunks were covered with tumors.
These tumors are all strange and varied, but they have one weird thing in common: there is always one or more tree holes on the tumors. Staring at the tree holes, one will inexplicably have an eerie feeling as if being observed by other creatures.
Crown could see the scenery far away, but he couldn't find Flanders who was originally parked not far away.
The church concluded that after nightfall, the space here was stretched and extended by an incomprehensible force.
He remained alert and continued to move forward, trying to stay away from the plants, and would only cut them down when he found he could not get around them.
The branches of these trees are hollow and ooze out red liquid that smells an awful lot like blood.
There were once sorcerers who were interested in research and collected some juice and took it out for research, but they found that the juice would quickly deteriorate in the outside world, just like the green water in the sewer.
Klauen's target is any monster or spirit that appears.
Spirits can provide spiritual essence, and a special kind of crystal core will be produced in the body of the monster. These crystal cores are the core material of the protective magic circle, and currently they can only be produced in large quantities in the Lingxu.
For him, a large number of spirits are also good prey, because he can completely play the role of a Taoist priest to save the souls of the dead.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
It can not only bring benefits, but also improve the proficiency of the Golden Light Mantra.
The muscles behind his head seemed to be bitten fiercely by a mosquito, and his seventh sense reminded Clown that danger was approaching.
He knew in his heart that something was treating him as prey and that it was dangerous.
After carefully observing his surroundings, he did not notice any living creature approaching. He only vaguely felt the air around him being stirred.
The strange thing was that he didn't notice the movement of air, which was extremely abnormal.
When that strange feeling appeared nearby again, he immediately rushed there and released the Flame Cross.
The sword pierced out with shining gold and fiery red colors, and the feeling of the air being stirred was still there, but the sword did not feel like it had hit any real object, as if there were monsters hidden in different dimensions of the same space.
Klauen immediately withdrew and released the Source Armor.
Since the enemy was unwilling to come out, he used his own body as bait to lure it out.
The golden tortoise shell patterns were hidden beneath his skin, and he walked forward pretending to be careless.
Ten minutes later, his fishing plan still failed.
The feeling of the air fluctuating near the body still exists, but nothing jumps out to attack.
Damn, the performance is for the blind.
Crown could only remain alert and continue exploring forward.
An elk stood on a huge rock covered with gray-green moss, staring at the approaching figure with empty eyes.
Crown stopped forty meters away from the boulder and looked at the strange elk on the stone in front of him.
Its fur does not have the texture of flesh and blood. Instead, it looks like dry bark with a few branches growing on its body.
Its horns resemble those twisted trees, and there are fist-sized tumors on the horns. Two white flowers are hidden in the forks of the horns, and each white petal has a black vertical line.
The elk's eyes disappeared, leaving behind two dark holes, like two deep ancient wells.
Is this thing dead? Crown narrowed his eyes. He could not sense any movement of a living thing from the elk. It was as if a strange plant had grown out of the corpse.
But why is there no sign of decay? Could it be the effect of this plant? Thoughts flashed through his mind quickly. Clown took down his longbow and pulled out two arrows, one aimed at the hole in the eye socket of the deer head, and the other at one of the flowers.
Before coming, he painted golden symbols on the bullets and arrows.
"call out"
The sounds of the two arrows breaking through the air combined, and a golden stream of light flew out and hit the target.
The elk suddenly stood up and let out a sharp howl like a baby's cry. The black vertical lines on the flower opened up, looking like eyes.
Alive, and knows how to fish!
Crown saw that the elk had sharp teeth exposed in its open mouth, and judging from the shape, it was definitely not a vegetarian.
At this time, the "eye flower" on the elk's head had been engulfed by the golden flame, and thick black smoke was still coming out of the eye socket that was shot.
The strange elk jumped off the boulder and was about to rush towards the person who hurt it, when two more arrows arrived.
Its movements were visible to Crown, and the other "eye" and eye socket were hit.
This time, it really became blind, flying around the boulder like a headless fly.
Crown feared that an arrow shot at it would destroy the crystal core, so he rushed forward with his sword drawn.
He used his fire breath, and under the shining golden light, the huge deer head left its master's body.
The monster's body fell down, twitching continuously.
After a while, when its body's conditioned reflex stopped, Crown walked forward, ready to dissect the prey and look for the crystal core.
Just as he walked near the boulder, a crack suddenly appeared between the boulder and the ground, and a black shadow jumped out.
