Chapter 510: Little Mirage Dragon's Watch

At this moment, the [Ghost] wandered over, creating a huge darkness.

It was as if the horrific battle it had just experienced had not caused it any damage at all.

Under the influence of the huge black shadow, all humans, ratmen, and blue roc people were once again filled with tension and anxiety.

"Here it comes, right where the coral island is."

That thing was like a dark cloud, covering the sky and the earth. The coral island suddenly became dim and dull, and clumps of mold crawled up, emitting a foul smell.

Fortunately, humans have carried out a wave of emergency harvests, and apart from the death of some small fish and shrimp, there has not been much loss.

The stars and the sun in the sky were blocked, and even the street lights on the road flickered and made a crackling sound.

The whole Green City was silent.

"Everyone, try to keep your emotions calm. Don't let your mind waver too strongly." The old cat advised, "If you really can't help but panic, you might as well hibernate."

A small number of scientists are working overtime at the Dream Research Institute near the poppy tree.

Most of the soldiers hid in the green mountains, staring with wide eyes, observing the changes in the external environment.

An active [ghost] and a sealed [ghost] are indeed two different states.

When the darkness came over them, cold sweat broke out on the soldiers' faces in fear.

This is not a poor psychological quality, but an instinctive physiological reaction.

When you see an invincible opponent wandering around you, anyone who doesn't panic is either a madman or a fool.

The little mirage dragon stayed near the tiankeng, trying its best to maintain the "mirage space".

It looked a little tired, with its two dragon whiskers hanging down to the ground, as if it might faint at any moment.

Several animal experts are giving it drugs, massages and injections, but it itself doesn't know how long it can last.

The sounds of children laughing, crying, reading aloud, and singing echo in my ears.

Look at the ruins of the Lanpeng civilization.

It seems to be integrated into the history of the 18 civilizations of mankind... and one can feel the heaviness that comes from civilization.

"Roar!" The little mirage dragon roared weakly, trying to calm himself down.

Don’t worry, I am... the guardian of civilization!

I will protect you until my last breath.

The little mirage dragon seemed to have grown a little at this moment.

…

"Mr. Lu, the [ghost] has come to our side. Are you awake?"

"Well, I'm in good condition now, don't worry."

Lu Yuan opened his eyes from hibernation.

His gaze penetrated the protection of the alien space and looked into the thick darkness.

[Ghost·Eye of the Shrine] was slowly swimming towards the direction of the mirage space.

"Is it because a shadow was left in the mirage space and it discovered it?" Lu Yuan's heart suddenly tightened.

"If I had known earlier, I would have swapped positions with Little Mirage Dragon, and I would have gone to protect Green Mountain..."

"Anyway, the inner ring of the city and the Green Mountain are about the same size."

But Conch is on Poppy Tree's side, and Lu Yuan can't say who is more important, his wife or all of humanity.

Since things have already happened, he can only bite the bullet, remind himself to be patient, and continue to wait and see for a while.

"There really is a major crisis. We have no choice but to fight again. I still have a lot of energy and some trump cards in my hands."

"【Gangfeng】... is it useful?" Lu Yuan didn't know. In theory, it was an enhanced version of 【Steel】, with offensive and dismemberment capabilities.

If you can't seal it, you still can't defeat a [Ghost]... but it is possible to delay it for a while.

"If it really doesn't work, release the other [ghosts] as well. They're all going to die anyway, so why not try to survive?"

After making up his mind, Lu Yuan felt relieved: "Conch, how are you doing over there? The [ghost] is about to climb up to the Green Mountain! Can we ask the [monster] to move us away?"

"Progress is average..."

"ah?!"

Conch girl was unusually anxious in her headphones. This girl, who had always been very docile, said with a hint of confusion: "The [monster] has noticed the establishment of the dream mental network and is destroying Jinbote's spiritual world."

“We are trying to find a way to protect it!”

"But we can't use overly drastic measures, otherwise the [monster] might just run away once it feels there's no hope of swallowing these eight million people."

“So the progress…is not ideal.”

Lu Yuan was helpless: "Can Jin Bote wake up?"

"I uploaded his soul to the Green Space... Theoretically it's possible, but it takes time. One night is not enough."

"There really are no miracles in this world... Never mind, just do your best." Lu Yuan sighed in his heart.

He protected the Poppy Tree very well, but what about Green Mountain? The little Mirage Dragon was about to collapse. If it fell unconscious, Green Mountain might be completely destroyed.

Can you... hold on?

…

However, at this moment, [Ghost·Eye of the Shrine] moved!

The snake man with corpse spots all over his body suddenly rushed forward and rushed towards the shadow of the Green Mountain! The huge darkness directly poured into the white fog where the mirage space was.

Jin Dongliang, Guo Dafeng, Lu Ying and other officers swallowed their saliva and widened their eyes.

They held various spiritual runes in their hands. Even if they could only resist for a few seconds, it was better than not resisting at all.

“Don’t…don’t be nervous!”

Jin Dongliang shouted, "It hasn't rushed in yet, it's still outside! Hold on to your runes, don't activate them recklessly!"

Mirage space is visible but not touchable, just like a mirage.

The air was filled with white mist, and everything seemed like a phantom.

[Ghost] was blocked outside.

"If they really rush in, everyone should drink the rain water immediately. We will buy some time!"

Magmite and other Blue Peng people, as well as the ratman craftsmen, were all trembling with fear and even hugged each other uncontrollably.

"Brother Rat, is today the anniversary of our death? We have just known each other for one day, and we died on the same day of the same month of the same year." Magmite had tears in the corners of his eyes.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"Or, drink rain water!"

"Don't drink yet... I still want to control the female mouse."

…

Lu Yuan, who was watching from the side of the poppy tree, was also so frightened that the tree started shaking.

I watched helplessly as the snake-man [ghost] darted around in the white fog like a mad bull with red eyes.

But they never found where the "mirage" was.

He felt a little relieved: "It's okay... Although [Ghost·Eye of the Holy Shrine] has spatial ability, it must be engraved with a blood pupil mark before it can be activated."

"As long as it doesn't mark a person, it won't be able to jump right in."

But [ghosts] have no emotions and have enough patience to search for mirage space.

It began to shuttle frantically in the mirage space, and because of its fast speed, it actually stirred up wind and clouds.

Even though it didn't fail every time, this perpetual motion-like behavior also brought great psychological pressure to everyone.

Especially when the little mirage dragon may not be able to hold on for too long...

The crisis is once again approaching quietly.

"What should we do?" No matter how smart a person is, there is no good solution at this moment. Lu Tiantian, Shamo and Hai Zhiyun, three generations of super thinkers, racked their brains.

Apart from drinking rain water and throwing oneself into the arms of the monster, there seems to be no better way.

There is also a poppy tree outside, and hundreds of staff are urgently developing a dream network to influence the monster's mind.

If they drink the rain water now, they do have a chance of survival.

"Wait a little longer, the little mirage dragon can still hold on for a while."

"Don't get close to the edge of the mirage space. If you are marked by a ghost soul, it will be terrible. Everyone, step back and stay close to the tiankeng."

At this moment, Hai Zhiyun suddenly said: "In fact, I think that the ghost's repeated behavior is not very reasonable. According to my reasoning, it is impossible for it to linger here forever."

"What do you mean?" Jin Dongliang looked at him.

"Because this kind of running around is equivalent to an infinite loop in a computer program..."

"If it can't find the mirage space, will it continue to execute this program command forever?"

"If [ghosts] were so easy to loop, the world would have been peaceful long ago."

These words... seem to make some sense. But they also seem to be pinning all our hopes on vague speculations.

Hai Zhiyun licked his dry lips and said, "Just think about it, a mirage-like phantom can make the [ghost] fall into an endless loop. Isn't the [ghost] too easy to be fooled?"

"If we discover a wandering [ghost], do we have to create a mirage and let it continue indefinitely? Isn't this trap too simple? Even we, a level 3 civilization, can find a way to create such a trap."

"Ghosts do not have intelligence, but they may have some special mechanisms at the idealistic level. It is impossible for them to continue in this dead loop."

"Hmm... that does make sense." Lu Tiantian nodded in agreement. "Judging from the horror of the ghost, it certainly won't be trapped that easily... so will it leave at a certain time?"

"But what is this time?"

"There's nothing we can do. We can only see how long the little mirage dragon can hold on. It will definitely leave!"

Time passes slowly.

This terrifying existence has been frantically searching for the Green Mountain in the thick fog.

The little mirage dragon would shake its head every now and then.

In the end, it was shaking almost every second.

Lu Yuan was also paying close attention, his nerves tense, ready to take action at any time.

Every time it was about to faint, it would miraculously wake up.

The little mirage dragon had a mysterious feeling that the fate of all mankind rested on it - if Lu Yuan took action again, the outcome would be even worse, so it would be better for him to hold on for a while longer.

Bleeding began to flow from all its orifices, and it could not hear clearly what the people around it were saying.
