Unknown secret place.
In the lush primeval forest.
Levi did not move forward rashly. At first, he just suspected that the "Levi" next to Rose was fake.
Now, he began to suspect that "Rose" and the others were also fake.
"No, it's impossible. I'm just scaring myself. Qiangwei is a member of the Witch House. There are so many high-level Yuanhun wizards in the Witch House.
If it was really some [evil spirit] pretending to be him, with their terrifying mental power and knowledge, it would be impossible for them not to sense it! Unless this [evil spirit] was stronger than the Yuanhun wizard!
This is even more impossible. Such a powerful being doesn't need to be so mysterious and play tricks! What's the point of them doing this?
Everything needs a motive. You are so strong, are you doing this just to fool others? Is it interesting? You are just bored!
Therefore, if there really is an [evil spirit], or some kind of [dead spirit] causing trouble, it must not be that strong, so we can only rely on this old-fashioned perceptual deception to create an illusion!
To lure me into the trap step by step, or to give me a fatal blow when I have a mental breakdown and let my guard down.
Haha, I won’t be fooled!
Besides that, my danger sense didn't alert the police... But, then again, is danger sense accurate?"
At this moment, Levi suddenly realized that he seemed to rely too much on danger perception.
"It's so boring to deal with all these weird things."
Levi's face was grim.
Inside the storage bag, Leon was wandering around anxiously.
"Leon, what's wrong with you today?" Levi asked.
"Master, I... I'm hungry." Leon said.
"Why are you hungry?"
"I...I don't know. I'm hungry, Master. I want to eat that."
Leon just kept repeating one sentence over and over again, like a child who didn't understand anything.
Levi didn't waste any more time.
An endless feeling of coldness came from all around, and along with it came the sound of "them" talking to Rose.
Apart from that, everything around was quiet, with only the sound of Levi's heartbeat like a burning furnace, like firewood bursting and crackling in the fireplace.
He touched his chest muscles that looked as strong as gold and iron, as well as the cold scales on his body, and held Frostmourne tightly in his hands.
A sense of security emerges.
"Haha, all fears come from insufficient firepower. I'm not afraid of these things." Levi clenched his fists and began to retreat silently.
Anyway, there are some weird things here, so let’s not explore it for now.
It’s not that Levi is afraid, he just feels it’s boring…
"It's just a monster. If it dares to appear in front of me, I will crush it with the Dragon Warrior! Let the fire purify everything!" Levi muttered to himself as he retreated.
He heard a crunching sound under his feet, but he didn't look down. His synesthesia told him that it was just a fallen branch.
Suddenly, he looked at a lively tree beside him. On the rough bark, there were some unknown small insects chrysalis.
Levi frowned and spread out his right palm. There was still a trace of the casting materials of the Yangyan Explosion spell on the palm.
"I just used Yangyan Explosion to burn this place. The area within a hundred meters is all ashes... What happened? It grew so quickly? Damn it... I haven't broken the illusion yet?!"
Levi's expression changed slightly.
He looked into the storage bag and saw the gray crystals formed by death.
"It's a bit weird. It feels like a dream, but also like reality. Can't I tell the difference..." Levi pondered in his heart.
When he dreamed in his previous life, this kind of situation always happened: he thought he had woken up from a nightmare, but in fact he had just entered a deeper dream, the so-called "dream within a dream". Only after he was really awakened by the alarm clock did he realize that the last time he thought he had "woke up", he was also in a dream.
However, since he became a wizard, he never sleeps at all. When he sleeps occasionally, he never dreams, as dreaming is a sign of poor sleep quality.
“Old-fashioned.”
He no longer cared about "Rose" and the others in front of him. No matter whether "they" were real or fake, Levi didn't care. He just wanted to leave here.
He knew that exploring ruins never led to good things.
Gradually, the sound of "their" conversation became farther and farther away from Levi.
In the place where Levi had just fought with the beautiful snake, it seemed as if nothing had happened, and the sound of birds singing could be heard again in the deep and dense forest.
It’s like I just pressed the pause button, and at this moment, I pressed the play button again.
In the dense forest.
Levi walked towards the exit in his memory with full vigilance. He did not run or fly away, as that would only make him appear afraid of "the other party".
Levi was not afraid at all. Since that evil creature dared to appear in front of him, he directly physically killed it!
Levi returned to the exit in his memory, a dark cave.
There was no green light door in the cave, and there was a rotten smell in the air, as if it had come from a long time ago.
In fact, this is the cave that Levi and his friends came from. Logically, there should be a green light gate, and passing through the light gate is the abyss under the sea.
"Sure enough, the exit is gone. Either someone has closed it, or I am still in a fantasy world. Even my memory is starting to become a little disordered?"
Levi's heart turned cold. He took a deep breath, held Frostmourne, and turned back in the previous direction.
"Let me see what the hell you are!"
…
Soon, Levi returned to the jungle.
In the place where Qiangwei and the others rested before.
They are no longer here.
Levi followed with an expressionless face.
He didn't know how long it had been, but as the sounds of conversation ahead gradually emerged, he finally caught up with Qiangwei and the others.
They also seemed to be anxiously looking for Levi.
The moment she saw Levi, Rose looked relieved. She smiled and said, "Sir Levi, why did you fall behind? We are all waiting for you."
Li Wei's synaesthesia dissipated, and his heart skipped a beat. The "fake Li Wei" was gone...
The illusion is gone?
The Eye of Ashes emerges.
The world before my eyes turned gray again.
Rose and the others were like bonfires with flying ashes.
"It's alive." Levi said to himself.
"Sir Levi, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling a little uncomfortable? Have you encountered an evil spirit?" Mrs. Baishui asked with concern.
When Regorio saw this, his expression remained unchanged. He just urged, "Now that we are here, let's go to the botanical garden quickly. After we kill the Red Nether Bird and divide the herbs, we will leave. This place is indeed a bit weird. It seems different from the last time I came here. It makes me feel uncomfortable."
"I'm fine, let's continue." Levi said with a smile, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Let's go."
The group set out again.
This time, Levi followed them closely.
At the same time, he opened the proficiency panel and took a look.
Levi——
Golden Snake Breathing Method: Fourteenth Level...
"call……"
For some reason, the moment he saw the proficiency panel, Levi's slightly nervous and anxious heart calmed down again.
…
I don’t know how long it will be.
Levi and his companions finally passed through the woods and came to the entrance of a deep valley. The valley was shrouded in a layer of gray fog, and the scenery inside was not clear. The outlines of some plants were visible in it, like silent people standing there. Indistinctly, one could feel that something was peeking at them in the fog.
A simple signpost like the ones in the mortal world stands here.
【Botanical Garden】
At the bottom of the sign, there are small bloody words.
[There are guards inside. Do not enter the botanical garden to steal herbs without permission. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences at your own risk! - Botanical Garden Management Committee]
Levi stopped in front of the sign.
Danger perception, there is a sense of danger coming from the general direction of the botanical garden. It could be the Red Nether Bird, or it could be something else...
"Don't worry about that. This was established before the organization was destroyed." Legorio frowned.
"Haven't you been here once? Do you know why this organization perished?" Levi suddenly asked.
Rose shook her head, and Lady Whitewater thought about it, also confused, and looked at her partner, Legorio.
“Don’t ask me. Although I was the first to discover this place, I don’t know much more about it than you do.
I guess it could be due to some forbidden experiments, or it could be due to the misfortune of a dark wizard.
Sir Levi, if you are worried about danger, just withdraw. Anyway, I am confident that I can capture the Red Nether Bird without you. If it weren't for Ms. Qiangwei, I would not want to bring you here for fear that she would break her promise to you. "Legorio said impatiently.
"Levi, don't worry. Before we came in, didn't we sign an agreement not to harm each other?" Rose showed a helpless and pleading look. She didn't want Levi and Legorio to have a conflict.
"Let's go, I'm just curious, I mean no harm."
Levi was not angry. He was the first to step into the botanical garden.
As soon as you enter here, you can feel the elemental power that seems to be even more intense than outside. Levi guessed that there should be a large element gathering array to facilitate the growth of plants.
Levi had already heard the chirping of some kind of bird, deeper in the valley. The sound was a little hoarse, shrill, and intermittent...
“小心点，植物园中可能潜藏有凶灵，夫人你离我近一些，这样我方便保护你，凶灵最惧怕火焰和雷电了，蔷薇女士，你最好也不要离我太远……”雷戈里奥忽然提醒道。“李维阁下，听说你是炼体巫师，应该足以自保吧？”他又问道。
“嗯，别管我。”
李维周围的重水结界力场亮起来，阴冷感如退潮一样逐渐消失。
雷戈里奥周身，也亮起来宛如金色烟雾一样的力场漩涡，绕着他旋转，形成一股金色龙卷风，在龙卷风之中，丝丝金色电流交织成网，组成了足以击碎一切黑暗的恐怖力场。
噼里啪啦的电流声大作，植物园中的迷雾，似乎都被震散。
不得不说，这雷戈里奥的实力，应该是李维见过的三环巫师之中最强的，他甚至怀疑，对方有可能掌握了三个天赋法术。
“如果是幻境的话，截至目前，一路走来，这一切，都太逼真了吧，以我三环巫师的精神力，都无法看破虚妄……”李维内心沉思。
忽然，迷雾中，有昆虫磨翅飞行的声音传来。
李维正准备动手，雷戈里奥伸手一指，一条金色的闪电链宛如长鞭，将一个东西从迷雾中撕扯出来。
那是一只翠玉碧绿的大刀螳螂，约有小狗大小，只不过不同的是，这大刀螳螂的头部，却是一个……人头。
同样也是一个美女头颅，而且，这美女的样子，和李维之前杀死的美女蛇，一模一样！
“死堕。”
李维没有着急动手，他想看看这雷戈里奥是怎么对付对方的。
“主人……我饿。”
里昂的声音又传来。
“饿着吧，等我出去给你饱餐一顿。”李维说道。
雷戈里奥的周身，一条条金色的闪电链，宛如触手一样从他的金色积雷云状的防护力场漩涡中涌现，这些闪电链，全部打在那李维称之为【美女螳螂】的怪物身上。
恐怖的电流爆炸声响彻植物园，在雷戈里奥恐怖的火力倾泻下，那【美女螳螂】在经历了数分钟的痛苦之后，便死了。
一枚灰色结晶出现在地上，雷戈里奥望着这东西，他似乎不是第一次击杀死堕。
他将结晶收集起来，李维注意到，这结晶比自己击杀的那【美女蛇】的要小不少。
按照欧文斯的说法，死堕怪物死后析出的结晶越大，怪物就越强。
做完这一切，雷戈里奥松了口气，他不动声色的喝了一瓶术力恢复药剂。
“这东西就是【凶灵】，特别邪门，极难杀死，如果是普通的三环超凡生物，在我刚刚的攻击下，坚持不了半分钟。”雷戈里奥皱眉说道。
“凶灵吗？”
【凶灵】也好，【死堕】也罢，都是一种东西的不同称谓罢了。
这些怪物，让李维总有种似曾相识的感觉，他明明没见过它们。
“人头怪物……”
他忽然想起来在黄土大陆的镜湖湖底，在那梦乡高塔分部的巫师遗迹中，找到的被称为【梦魇生物】的标本。
背上长着人脸的青蛙，人脸蜘蛛，甚至还有臀部长着人脸的怪鸟，人脸的嘴，便是怪鸟的排泄口……
“梦魇世界，灰烬世界……这两个世界，有什么联系吗？”
李维压下心中的疑惑。
蔷薇他们已经在往前走了。
接下来，路上又偶尔遇见一些“凶灵”。
李维都没有出手，这些家伙就被雷戈里奥击杀了，虽然李维不喜欢家族弟子，不得不承认，这个雷戈里奥，是一个很靠谱和强大的队友。
他每次都会把那灰色结晶收起来，也不知道干啥用。
里昂一路上也是叫唤着饿饿饿，这个怪虫小家伙，在进入这个秘境之中，似乎就进入了一种不安和焦躁的状态。
最终，李维他们在一片空地上停了下来。
在前方迷雾中，隐隐约约有高高的石柱以某种法阵的轨迹纹路陈列，在其中一个石柱的顶部，有一头黑色的大鸟盘踞在上，它似乎注意到了李维一行人，睁开了那燃烧着黑色火焰的眼瞳。
“赤幽冥雀，的确是真的，被宣告灭绝的超凡生物。”李维心中喃喃。
无论如何，这东西，他都要想办法活捉回去，一头死的赤幽冥雀，没办法长久供给李维修行呼吸法。
在传奇之后，修行呼吸法所需要的秘药，其中对于超凡生物血液的要求，这里的“血液”，可不是普通的血就行了，是需要以大量血液来提纯出来的【血脉精粹】入药。
所以，只有活的超凡生物，才能长久供给李维使用。
其实最理想的状态是每一只超凡生物都能有一个异性伴侣，这样就可以配对，在自己的爱丽丝戒指中，生育更多的后代，为自己所用。
奈何，大多数超凡生物，光是找到一只就很难了，想要找到一对配种，更是难上加难，即便是对这些超凡生物本身来说，以它们漫长的生命，能不能找到另一半都是未知数，越是强大的超凡生物，越是如此。
“看到那石阵了吗，据我所知，那是四环法阵【风火不息阵】，正是因为这个法阵，才让这该死的畜生如此猖狂的，待会儿我会以我准备好的三环法阵，暂时抑制这个法阵的效力。
趁此机会，你们三个，尤其是李维阁下，记住，一定要在一分钟内击杀对方。
因为我的法阵只能持续一分钟，哪怕你们只是给那畜生留下了一丝生机，它也会在大阵中重生的。”雷戈里奥强调到。
“明白了，你小心点。”白水夫人关心的说道。
“多谢夫人关心。”雷戈里奥露出笑容。
蔷薇看了看李维，李维点点头，表示没问题。
“准备好的话，我就开始了。”雷戈里奥瞳孔之中，金色闪电在生灭不息。
他口中念诵复杂的咒语，一道道金色的阵旗破开迷雾，冲入云霄，而后一个金色八芒星法阵出现在大地上，朝着石柱的方向而去。
一瞬间，两种大阵的碰撞开始了。
石柱颤抖，一道道黑色光芒在不同石柱间串联起来。
蔷薇女巫眼神专注，她的面前，有巨大的水流组成的明镜浮现。
一道白色光芒，从中射出，朝着赤幽冥雀激射而去。
这是蔷薇女巫的天赋法术·流水击镜！
而白水夫人，则是动用了第二天赋法术·暴食之花。
随着一朵恐怖的巨型食人花成型，那黑色大鸟被笼罩其中。
它惨烈的嘶鸣，声音穿云裂石，震得人耳膜难受。
“李维，准备！”蔷薇说道。
刺啦。
黑色的鸟爪撕开了暴食之花的防御，伤痕累累，但是这些伤口在不断修复，失去了大阵的作用，自愈效果减弱了。
赤幽冥雀裹挟着黑色炽焰，朝着李维他们冲来。
李维现出火龙真身，死烬之力缠绕在身上。
轰！
他拔地而起，和赤幽冥雀碰撞在一起。
下一刻，赤幽冥雀直接被震退，李维略微后退，他缠绕在死烬之力的大手，朝着赤幽冥雀抓去。
无尽黑色炽焰席卷，将李维淹没。
这些火焰虽然诡异，但毕竟也是火。
对于如今火元素抗性很高的他来说，伤害很低，更何况他有金鳞护体，所以这些火焰席卷之后，李维什么事都没有。
这让蔷薇女巫和白水夫人有些震惊，之后是大喜。
李维的实力，比他们想象的要强，这样来看，击杀赤幽冥雀，应该不成问题。
时间一分一秒的过去了。
半分钟的时候。
雷戈里奥已经在催促了。
“快点，我快撑不住了。”
李维霜之哀伤一剑斩出，破灭剑气席卷！
赤幽冥雀的头颅被斩杀！
下一刻，那横切面上，新的头颅已经开始涌现。
死烬之力包裹，遏制了其成长。
李维一脚踏出，将赤幽冥雀从天上踏入地下！
轰隆隆！
植物园中，惊起无数飞鸟，大地震颤，迷雾拨开，豁然开朗！
一脚之威，恐怖如斯！
李维快刀斩乱麻，将赤幽冥雀斩为一片片。
这家伙四分五裂的身躯在颤抖，似乎想要组合在一起。
“死烬！”
李维加大死烬的力度，汹涌澎湃如灰烬潮水一样的力量将这些身躯全部包裹，宛如裹了面包糠的鸡块。
大黑天之幕将赤幽冥雀捆绑缠绕，李维的五龙威严形成一股股精神冲击，攻击着赤幽冥雀的灵魂。
五龙威严的奴役效果只对龙族有效，不过对于其他精神力弱于李维的存在，也是可以产生精神攻击效果的。
被李维死死按住的赤幽冥雀，哀鸣阵阵，精神逐渐涣散，马上就要灰飞烟灭。
李维猩红龙呼吸法还没有进阶，要不然他现在就可以强行契约对方。
他将自己早就准备好的一个三环的【缚灵之环】准备好，这是他为了捕捉赤幽冥雀刻意准备的，花费了他近二十万太石，可以说是下了血本了，一些垃圾的四环巫器，可能也就这个价钱了。
现在李维全身上下的太石储备，已经不到十万了。
但是以赤幽冥雀的潜力和珍惜程度，还是值得的。
伴随着契约巫器的生效，赤幽冥雀开始不再挣扎，李维并没有放开对方，他用大黑天之幕捆绑好之后，放入了爱丽丝戒指，让里面的风雷翼龙拉贾和暴君二世看好。
“解决了一桩心事，接下来就是想办法离开这里了。”
李维迅速休息着，那边的雷戈里奥收起法阵，他面色苍白，在喝下一些看起来就很昂贵的药剂之后，很快变得红润。
“不是让你杀了它吗？”雷戈里奥冰冷的质问道。
“我是超凡生物学家，活捉了对方，不也一样吗？”
“万一对方突破你的契约怎么办？”
“放心吧，不会的。”李维面色不变。
雷戈里奥的瞳孔中，金色闪电一闪而过，白水夫人拉住了他的胳膊，温柔的摇摇头示意他放松。
“那你只能拿取百分之十的药草了。”雷戈里奥说道。
“无所谓。”李维耸耸肩。
蔷薇走过来，打了个圆场说道：“李维他是超凡生物学家，虽然比我们家纽特强一些，不至于对超凡生物下不去手，但是肯定也不忍心亲手杀死一只超凡生物，放心吧，他有能力镇压的。”
“下不为例。”雷戈里奥冷冷说道，而后迅速带着白水夫人朝着法阵另一侧的珍贵药草园而去。
蔷薇露出苦笑：“我们也走吧。”
李维脸色歉意：“抱歉。”
“唉，都是朋友，没必要这样，应该谢谢你才对，不是你的话，我们两个女巫，很难在一分钟内解决对方的。”蔷薇说完，也迅速朝着药园飞去。
随着战斗平息，那震散的迷雾又从四面八方涌来，阴冷，也卷土重来。
李维一脚踏出，大手同时伸入侧方的迷雾中，抓住一只长着美女头颅的变色龙，美女被抓住，动弹不得，她张开嘴巴，宛如变色龙一样的长舌探出，伴随着她的口水，朝着李维面门激射而来。
李维看到了美女的嘴里面，那一圈圈的牙齿，和自己的血族之触差不多。
他一声不吭，死烬之力配合赤帝之火，将这变色龙化为虚无。
“呸，丑东西！”
……
药园中。
雷戈里奥，蔷薇，白水夫人，已经都在采集药草了，李维看着这些药草，有一大部分，他都有，在古圣帝国所在位面，也出产，而且他已经得到赤幽冥雀了，也不能太贪心，最后他们挑剩下了，他在随便取一些就好了。
所以他没有着急去采摘，这个秘境处处透露着诡异。
他打量着四周，打算等他们几个采摘完草药，一道回去。
绿野仙屋内，里昂的声音传来：“主人，我饿……”
“马上就出去了。”李维望着愈发焦躁不安的怪虫。
“这个是我的。”雷戈里奥出现在一株草药面前，面无表情的说道。
“这个是我的。”蔷薇也说道。
“这个是我的。”白水女巫亦如此。
“你们选，草药我不要，选完我们离开吧。”
李维低头说道，面色冷下来，他看着自己的胳膊，汗毛在阴风中倔强的立着。
阴冷和诡异的感觉，似乎又入潮水一样袭来，不可阻挡，将李维淹没！
“这个是我的。”
“这个是我的。”
“这个是我的。”
“……”
李维的前方，蔷薇他们三个不停的“闪现”在一株株药草面前，而后毫无感情的重复着这一句话，伴随着迷雾渲染，这一幕，如卡顿掉帧的老旧相机画面。
他们似乎又忘记了李维。
“又来……唉。”
李维叹了一口气。
他伸出手掌。
伴随着夹杂着无尽死烬之力的火焰在这片药园中冲天而起，恐怖的爆炸将迷雾再度震散。
火光中，蔷薇“他们”依旧闪现在一株株已经被毁掉的草药面前，说着重复的一句话：
“这个是我的。”
一瞬间，李维的耳边，好像是千万个声音，都在说着同样的一句话。
“所以，你们这些鬼东西，只会用复读这种套路装神弄鬼吗？”
李维长啸一声，猛地冲天而起，他高高跃起，背后的九剑阿修罗虚影浮现。
金鳞铸铠甲，烈焰为战袍，猩红做披风……
血脉法身·九剑阿修罗！
一道道缠绕着死烬之力的灰白气流朝着四面八方爆射。
迷雾之中，依稀传来了一声声若有若无的惨叫。
“这个是我的……是我的……我的。”
重复的声音渐行渐远，李维收起血脉法身，把里昂从绿野仙屋中放出来。
他如死水一样冷静的心中，有一些狰狞的漩涡开始浮现。
“主人……我饿。”里昂这货也在重复，如果不是那种法术带来的亲切真实的主仆感觉还在，李维都想把这家伙也砍了。
“饿了……那就去捕猎吧，我在这里等你，吃饱了就回来。”
李维眼神冰冷，他将霜之哀伤插入眼前的药园大地上，自己则是盘坐在长剑后面，右手按在剑柄上，一动不动，犹如明王！
得到允许后的里昂那模糊的人脸上露出欢快的表情。
“谢谢……主人……好多，好多好吃的。”里昂嘶吼着，冲入迷雾之中，有惨叫在其中传来。
李维的掌心出现了一枚银币，他屈指一弹，银币在半空中塑造为欧文斯高大的身躯。
欧文斯轰的一声，落在地上，他望着枯坐那边的李维，说道：“你被死堕围攻了？好多死堕的气息，我的天哪，你是怎么坚持下来的？我可是死堕百斩者，我都不确定我能在这么多死堕的围攻下活下来。”
“我想是的，不过这些死堕，无关紧要，有东西在幕后搞鬼。”到了这个时候，李维反而不慌了，他嘴角上扬。
“欧文斯，陪我聊会儿天吧。”
“啊？你居然用珍贵的银币召唤我陪你聊天，你……暴殄天物啊。”欧文斯学着李维的模样，银剑插入他面前的地面上。
“说吧，聊啥。”
“给我讲讲风车村和梅根男爵的故事吧……”
李维望着前方，目光穿透重重迷雾，他的声音逐渐低沉。
欧文斯点点头，开始滔滔不绝的讲着他的故事。
“梅根男爵是一位很绅士的领主……”
不知道过了多久。
李维听着欧文斯的故事，快被无聊的催眠了。
他看着身边空无一人的地面，不久之前，欧文斯已经离开了。
里昂还没有吃饱回来。
又过了可能有一天的时间，山谷中的迷雾也彻底散去了。
密林之中，一个圆鼓鼓的身影出现在那里。
“嗝……主人，我饱了……好多，我都吃不完，它们都跑了……”
“你知道跑哪里去了吗？”李维问道，眼神中光芒闪烁。
“我知道，不过我太撑了……我动不了。”里昂躺在那里，四平八仰。
“里昂……你知道你吃的那些是什么吗？”李维问道。
他感觉，不知不觉间，里昂的语言表达能力和智力，似乎提高了……他在成长。
“食物啊。”
里昂说道。
“当我没问。”李维沉默不语。
他现在怀疑，里昂可能是圣甲蝎吃了一些类似于这些死堕一样的鬼东西不小心变异出来的玩意儿。
李维仔细的回忆着自己投喂给它们的食物。
时间一分一秒的过去了。
没有欧文斯在身边唠唠叨叨，李维反而有些不习惯。
可惜他也没有银币了，他不得不承认，这个幕后的鬼东西，是有些本事的。
他思索着，逐渐的，有些分不清了。
时真时假，亦真亦假。
这些不重要。
重要的是……没有什么是杀不死的，李维坚信这一点！
凡俗的骑士们恐惧所谓的“杀不死的恶灵，亡灵”，那是因为无知和火力不足。
巫师世界也是如此，即便是巫师，也有知识盲区之外的地方。
最大的恐怖是未知。
因为自己对于那鬼东西完全不了解，才会导致这种局面，并不代表对方有多强。
它真的很强的话，无论是想夺舍李维，还是杀死李维，或者其他意图，大可以将李维直接制服。
但是，它没有，它依靠和李维进来的那三个队友，在不停的一次次折磨着李维的精神和意志。
“话说，那个虚假的我……哪里去了。”李维想起来自己折返回来后就不见的“假李维”。
他又意识进入爱丽丝戒指，确认了一下，赤幽冥雀还在，也没有变成什么鬼东西。
自己杀死的那些死堕所留下的灰色结晶，也都在。
这些，应该都是真的！
“里昂，带我去找你的食物。”
李维等了许久，那存在并没有来找他。
所以他想主动出击。
“好的……”
里昂的背上，那甲壳忽然打开，里面长出来薄膜一样的翅膀。
李维跟着里昂，消失在无人的山谷中。
许久之后，迷雾再度涌来，植物园好像又恢复了正常。
……
离开诡异的植物园。
李维跟着里昂一路前行。
一个秘境本来就没多大，他就不信，这屁大点的地方，还找不到那鬼鬼祟祟的东西。
这之后，李维找了很久，也没有找到蔷薇他们。
He stopped looking for them, and now it seemed that something might have happened to the three of them.
In the secret realm, Levi's perception of the passage of time seemed to begin to weaken.
He didn't know how long he had been walking.
Now he stopped under a huge tree.
The giant tree is covered with all kinds of green vines, plants, flowers, and butterflies resting on it. The patterns on the butterfly wings look like a pair of big eyes.
"Fortunately, it's not a human face, it's just a normal butterfly." Levi whispered in his heart.
His synesthesia detected a body behind the vines.
The flame in his hand burned away the vines, revealing the rotten hollow tree hole inside.
Inside the tree hole, there was a rotten corpse whose original appearance could not be seen. There were a lot of caterpillars lying on it, some of which had even formed pupae. The butterfly that Levi had just seen hatched from the pupae...
After being frightened, the insects ran away quickly and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Levi looked at the robe that was still intact, with a golden lightning pattern on it...
"Regorio?"
Levi did not draw a conclusion.
He stuck out his golden tongue and collected the breath.
Although the smell of decay was strong and mixed with countless scents, Levi noticed that the smell of this corpse might... not be Regorio's.
"Earlier, a disciple of the Lightney family entered here and died in this tree hole."
Based on Levi's understanding of the decay rate of wizards' corpses, this disciple may have been dead only a few years ago.
"The first person to discover this secret place was Regorio. Could this be one of his companions who entered here with him and died here?"
Legorio had not mentioned this situation beforehand, it was just Levi's guess.
While Levi was on guard, he searched around the corpse.
Unexpectedly, the corpse's storage ring is still here.
Levi broke the restriction above, and then opened it and found some unexpected surprises inside.
Fifty thousand Taishi, some low-level spell books, and three spell crystal balls.
There are three-level spells on the crystal ball.
"Ray Snake Technique", "Thundercloud and Wind Violence Field", "Chain Lightning".
"Thunder Snake, that's exactly the advanced spell of Thunderbird that I need. It saves me a lot of money. The other two are also good. That force field should be the one that Legorio used."
Levi put these away.
He also found a piece of red metal about the size of a human head in the corner of the storage bag.
"This... is actually Skyfire Meteorite, an elemental metal that is even more advanced than Yaojin."
Even with Levi's state of mind, he was a little excited.
Such a piece of meteorite iron is worth more than the amount of gold Levi used to cast Tyrant II.
Because this meteorite can be used to forge four-ring, five-ring magical weapons, and even soul weapons.
Just to get this piece of meteorite, even if Levi didn't get the Red Nether Bird, this trip to the secret realm was worth it.
Of course, the premise is that Levi can get out.
"At my current level, the Frostmourne forged from Yggdrasil is indeed not enough, and it's time to forge a better weapon for myself.
It seems that this disciple of the Lightney family did not die at the hands of a wizard, otherwise the storage bag would have been taken away long ago."
After confirming that there were no other clues, Levi left and let Leon continue to lead the way.
The twisted and deformed corpse in the tree hole was silent until the caterpillars swarmed again and the vines covered the tree hole again...
Finally, Levi followed Leon to a foggy plain. In the fog, some buildings could be vaguely seen. The outermost ones were mortals' huts, and inside were the wizards' mansions and wizard towers. In the center, Levi saw a wizard tower that stood out from the crowd and soared into the clouds.
From the outside, the wizard tower has five floors. Some more sophisticated wizard organizations generally use the number of floors of the wizard tower to reflect the status of the wizards therein.
The fifth floor might be a wizard tower of a five-ring wizard. If this secret realm is an intermediate wizard organization, then this seems to be the core area of the entire secret realm.
"Master, there's... lots of food inside. I want to kill them all... and eat them all..." Leon looked at the wizard tower with greed in his eyes.
Levi touched Leon's head, and Leon rubbed Levi's big hand affectionately.
"Then come with me and take a look. Since something only dares to hide in the dark and does things, and doesn't dare to confront me directly, then we will take the initiative to confront... it."
There was a crackling sound from Levi's bones. He tilted his head, holding Frostmourne in his hand, stepped into the mist, and headed towards the wizard tower.
The walls of the mortal residences along the way were dark and damp, covered with colorful and sticky mold.
Levi paid close attention to every detail around him. He did not waste any more energy destroying the surrounding environment.
After the previous battle, he roughly knew that this secret realm might have been interfered with by some force, which might be a magic circle or an illusion.
In short, the answer may be in the wizard tower.
In the fog all around, there was the sound of women's laughter, and through these laughters, it seemed as if one could see the faces of women, some charming, some sad, or some cold.
"Ouch." Leon hugged a [Beautiful Centipede] with a beautiful woman's head that rushed towards Levi. He opened his mouth wide and swallowed the beautiful centipede whole. The centipede's legs struggled.
More and more weak dead creatures rushed towards Levi, who was entangled in the power of dead ashes, like moths to a flame.
When Levi saw those dead monsters that were constantly being annihilated, he suddenly felt confident.
"Are you starting to get scared?" Levi grabbed a monster that was rushing towards him. The monster had a lizard's body, with insect-like membranous wings on both sides, and a circle of standing crown-like things on its neck, with colorful scales shining.
"This... looks a bit like the nightmare lizard in the Dream Dragon Breathing Technique inheritance diagram, but that nightmare lizard doesn't have a crown, and doesn't have such a brightly colored body."
This is one of the few monsters in the fog without a human head. Like the Red Nether Bird, it should be an ordinary supernatural creature. The five dragon majesties in Levi's body were activated and swept towards the spirit of the strange lizard in front of him.
Inside the lizard's brain, there was a blank. Five terrifying dragons of different shapes, all high above, were staring at it from an indescribable distance.
It didn't take long for the strange lizard to calm down, whimpering, terrified, and begging for mercy.
Levi knocked the guy unconscious, tied him up, and put him in Alice's ring.
"Even if it's not a nightmare lizard, it must have the blood of a dream dragon."
Levi dripped blood into Rowling's crystal ball.
[Unknown extraordinary lizard bloodline 67%, unknown dragon bloodline 4.3%...]
"It seems that the database in the crystal ball doesn't have it, but it's most likely Meng Long."
Wherever Levi passed, the weak dead creatures died quickly and turned into gray crystals.
He had lost count of how many he had killed, and Leon didn't want to eat any more, so he asked Leon to put away the rest.
Owens' record of 100 kills is nothing compared to Levi's.
His synaesthesia swept over those mansions and those small wizard towers. There were some timid figures hiding in them. Maybe they were dead or something else. However, they were beginning to be afraid...
Levi came to the bottom of the largest wizard tower and the fog broke.
There stood a man who looked exactly like Levi.
Levi smiled and he smiled back.
Levi moved, and he moved too.
Levi sighed inwardly, recalling how he had been teased along the way. The moment he saw this "fake Levi", an unknown anger burned in his heart.
The hellfire wrapped around Frostmourne and turned into a flaming sword. Levi's body expanded rapidly until he was the tallest existence on the plain, except for the wizard tower!
He exhaled a hot, foul breath filled with the smell of sulfur, and endless flames cleared the fog around the wizard tower.
He looked at the tiny "fake Levi" below.
"You change too."
The terrifying world-destroying flaming sword, wrapped in the black power of dead ashes and the gray-white destructive sword energy, the two forces, one black and one white, swirled and entangled like a yin and yang fish.
"Fuck you!"
boom!
The fog on the plain seemed to be torn open by an angry god, and sunlight penetrated in, illuminating the face of the fake Levi.
This face seemed to be constantly changing. There was Levi, Regorio, Rose, Lady Baishui, and the face of a strange man...
Finally, its appearance was finalized.
It turned into a face Levi had seen before, expressionless and with empty eyes.
Dense swarms of dead creatures swarmed around it like locusts, blocking out the sunlight.
boom!
Fire and darkness collide.
The wizard tower collapsed in the huge earthquake.
Levi looked at everything that had turned to ashes and the distorted face.
"The Ancestral Witch of Extreme Fire."
