Chapter 433: Dark Secret Realm
Thick fog always has a mysterious and frightening feeling for humans.
This is not surprising, because the thing that can cause human fear the most is the unknown, and thick fog, which can block vision, just brings this unknown mystery to the peak.
This caused Franklin and others to panic when they followed Mike into the dark fog.
And this fear was magnified countless times after they really entered the fog!
Because everyone found that compared with the normal pure white fog, this weird pure black fog could not see anything at all.
At first, everyone thought it was just because it was too dark here, so many people used the fluorescent flickering spell to light up their surroundings.
However, this was useless. No matter how many times they released it, the surroundings were already pitch black!
They thought they had made a mistake in casting the spell, but the magic power that disappeared in their bodies kept reminding them that the fluorescent flickering spell was successfully released, but the magic wand was still pitch black!
Then there is only one answer!
This piece of black fog has some strange magic that can absorb all light sources, or this strange black fog makes them lose their ability to see in silence!
This situation soon made some timid team members scream, but it didn't matter. Once they screamed, they became more nervous.
Because they were surprised to find that they couldn't hear their own voices!
It was as if this black fog took away their vision and hearing in an instant!
Panic was spreading in the team. This loss of perception and the situation of being alone from the initial teamwork made everyone extremely scared.
Under the influence of this fear, the originally densely gathered team began to slowly disperse. If nothing unexpected happened, they should be separated.
After that, perhaps some monsters will appear in the black fog and plan to defeat them one by one.
But Mike will not allow this to happen.
He discovered the abnormality of the thick fog as soon as he entered it.
But he did not panic like others, but silently started to perceive magic.
The result of doing so is not good, because the black fog seems to have the effect of suppressing mental power, which makes Mike's magic perception range extremely limited.
Fortunately, Mike's mental power is very strong. Even with the interference of the black fog, he can perceive everything within a radius of 50 meters.
Feeling his panicked team members gradually getting separated, Mike couldn't help but frown.
If it were outside, he could set a signpost to guide his teammates, but in this strange black fog, if he wanted to keep his teammates from getting separated, he could only use a stupid method.
Mike released the wind speed spell to himself very neatly, and then turned into a phantom and began to shuttle in the black fog.
Whenever a teammate was about to walk out of his magic perception range, he would go up and pull him and correct his direction.
Of course, in this dark environment, many people mistook Mike for an enemy and launched an attack, but they were blind and deaf and were no threat to Mike. After Mike gently patted their left chests (Masonic chest-beating ceremony), they also understood the identity of Mike's teammates and began to let Mike do it.
This method is stupid, but very effective.
With the help of Mike, many people in the team gradually felt at ease. After all, humans are social animals. As long as those team members who were completely trapped in the darkness knew that some of them still had the ability to perceive, they would be relieved. After
Mike was busy for most of the day, everyone finally walked out of this strange black fog.
The feeling of getting out of the black fog was very wonderful. Everyone first felt a bright light in front of their eyes, and then they found that the humid and hot air around them had disappeared, replaced by a slightly moldy but refreshing air!
It's like you have been in a sauna for several hours and then suddenly came to the outdoors!
Many people in the team couldn't help but groan!
Franklin had the most exaggerated expression. Under Mike's magical perception, he now looked like a hairless chimpanzee, with his head raised and arms stretched out, looking intoxicated. He even made some strange noises from time to time. Mike
curled his lips helplessly, turned his sight back, and began to observe the surrounding situation.
Unlike what he expected, what greeted everyone after leaving the black fog was not a bright future, but the same darkness.
However, the darkness here was much worse than the absolute darkness in the strange black fog. At least there were many weak light sources here, which was why everyone's eyes lit up when they just left the black fog.
With the help of these light sources, everyone's eyes, which had long been accustomed to the darkness, also recovered some vision.
In this dark environment, Mike could vaguely see that there were dark cylinders everywhere around him. This scene reminded Mike of the Forbidden Forest in Hogwarts.
"Could it be that we are in a forest now?"
Thinking of this, Mike tried to light up the wand with "fluorescent flash" again.
This time, the tip of his staff successfully emitted a bright light, illuminating a small area near him, and finally allowing him to see the environment deep inside.
But what appeared in front of him surprised him a little, because what appeared in front of him did prove his previous conjecture that they were indeed in a forest.
However, the densely packed forest was not filled with various green plants and tall trees, but countless strange mushrooms!
These mushrooms were large and small, with different colors. The largest ones were even towering into the clouds, but the smallest ones were just like normal mushrooms, only a little bit.
Many people in Mike's team also released fluorescent flashes. Looking at the strange scene around them, feeling the soft feeling coming from the dense and overlapping white mycelium under their feet, everyone's expressions became not very good.
Unlike others, Mike first noticed the sky.
Through the gaps between the towering mushroom caps, Mike could clearly see that the sky above his and others' heads was completely dark, not to mention the moon, there was not even a star!
This reminded Mike of some bad things. You know, in his previous life, he was a senior Hollywood fan, so he was no stranger to the epic work "Journey to the Center of the Earth".
And everything in front of him was constantly hinting at himself, a guess - they were now in an underground cave!
Shaking his head vigorously, throwing away all the horrible guesses in his heart, Mike silently swung his wand.
"Show me the way!"
As Mike chanted the spell, the wand in his hand floated up, and after spinning in the air for a few circles, it pointed straight to Mike's right hand!
This was recorded in Kingsley's intelligence, the means of finding the base of pure-blood wizards after entering the secret realm. If the information he obtained was correct, Mike and others only had to keep walking north.
To be honest, Mike was actually quite curious about how Kingsley got this information. He could understand knowing the entrance to the secret realm, but he even knew the way to point the way after entering the secret realm, which was a bit unscientific. Mike
even suspected that this was a trap information deliberately revealed to him by the enemy.
However, Mike considered it again and again and finally chose to believe the other party. After all, the power he currently possessed was too strong. Even if this was a trap, Mike was sure to wipe out the other party!
"All units, listen to the order! Put out the wands in your hands and follow me!"
With Mike's order, the team members who were still immersed in surprise finally came back to their senses.
Due to their outstanding military qualities, they did not make any sound, nor did they directly ask Mike why he did this, but followed Mike silently.
They knew very well that since signing the agreement, their lives were no longer theirs. Even if Mike wanted them to die, they could only rush forward without hesitation!
Of course, Mike would never do this, at least not before squeezing out their interests. After all,
these elite wizards are all large sums of gold galleons, and he is not so extravagant.
Everyone followed Mike all the way north, and everyone remained highly vigilant during the period, and Mike was highly focused.
I don't know how long it took, but Mike, who was walking at the front of the team, suddenly stopped, and this change made everyone behind him nervous.
Then, under everyone's gaze, Mike raised his left hand and quickly made several complex tactical gestures.
'Ahead, enemy spotted, surround, alert.'
The team members who understood the meaning quickly took action. Many illusory shadows passed Mike and rushed to both sides, while Mike himself continued to move forward cautiously with Arthur and Benjamin. Soon
, the enemy's figure appeared in front of them. It was a huge snow-white insect that looked like an ant!
At this moment, it was lowering its head and biting the rhizome of a huge mushroom with its huge serrated teeth!
Looking at its movements, Franklin raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but whispered in Mike's ear:
"What is this thing? Why does it look like it's cutting wood?"
Mike's face changed drastically as soon as he said this. He had some knowledge of biology and knew very well that the vision of creatures living in such a dim environment for a long time would inevitably degenerate, and instead, their other sensory organs, such as hearing, would become highly developed. Now Franklin dared to speak at such a close distance. This action might have attracted the attention of the other party!
Mike's guess came true. As soon as Franklin finished speaking, the giant ant about 2 meters long and 1 meter high not far from Mike suddenly raised its head.
This action made the elite wizards who had already surrounded it nervous. Almost at the same time, they all raised their wands and aimed at the ant. As long as the other party wanted to attack a little bit, they would drown it with the green color representing death!
But the next moment, a scene that surprised everyone appeared.
The two long antennae on the head of the giant ant shook a few times, and then it aimed at the direction where Mike was hiding as if it had found the target and made a twisted kneeling posture!
Everyone was confused at this time, and Benjamin looked at Mike with a surprised face, as if he had just met him today.
"It... knows you?"
"Know a ghost!"
Mike pushed Benjamin's head away unhappily, and continued to observe the giant ant in front of him.
The ant knelt for a long time, but when it saw Mike and the others still appeared, it stopped wasting time and quickly crawled back to its original position and continued to gnaw the rhizome of the giant mushroom.
With the help of its pair of giant teeth, the towering giant mushroom quickly fell down, and the weird ant was like a diligent lumberjack, dragging the exaggeratedly large mushroom back with its teeth!
In the hiding place, Mike, Arthur and the others looked at each other, and no one knew what to say.
Franklin, who was standing by, clapped his hands after a moment of silence, and said in surprise:
"I told you! This is definitely a lumberjack!"
Arthur, who was standing by, was startled. He rolled his eyes at Franklin, and then looked at Mike seriously and asked:
"Commander, what should we do next?"
Mike did not answer Arthur's answer immediately, but took out the magic wand that was still in the "point the way for me" state and compared it with the direction where the ant disappeared, and then slowly said:
"It's on the same road as us, let's follow it!"
Arthur nodded after receiving the order, and then continued to follow Mike.
The elite wizards hiding in other places also received the latest instructions through the communicator on their chests, and also turned into illusory and erratic phantoms and followed.
It can be seen that the giant ant is very powerful. Even if it is pulling such a thick mushroom, its movement speed is still very fast. Mike and others even have to jog to keep up with its pace.
As everyone continued to follow the path opened by the ant, the surrounding scenery slowly changed.
The originally sparse mushrooms suddenly became dense, especially the huge mushrooms that towered into the sky began to become more and more numerous, and their huge umbrellas almost completely covered the sky!
The ant seemed to be very protective of these giant mushrooms. It carefully dragged the cut blue mushroom through the dense forest, while Mike and others were far behind it, using the passage it opened to move forward quickly.
After an unknown amount of time, the mushroom forest in front of everyone began to become sparse again.
However, unlike the sparse mushroom forest before, the scene in the mushroom forest in front of Mike and others now really shocked them!
