19. Mirage

The Misty Mountains, named because they are shrouded in mist all year round. It is a famous exploration mecca in the Longyan Empire. Every year, expeditions go here.

"There's the Misty Mountains ahead, just look at the fog in the mountains. You know, it's still noon, and it's the thinnest fog in the mountains. In the evening, after the sun sets, the fog will be even heavier. Simon pointed to the misty mountains in front of him and said to Murphy.

"What is there in this mountain range that is worth the risk of so many people?" Mo Fei said confusedly.

"The Misty Mountains are located in the southwestern part of the Empire, and their area is not as large as the Warcraft Forest. Therefore, there will be no particularly powerful magical beasts in the mountain range. Much less dangerous than other places, the adventure party usually enters the misty forest to catch the cubs and pet eggs of the monsters, as well as some precious ores and treasures. Simon replied.

"We're going to be on this trip, and the team has to move together. Judging from the situation of the two mercenary groups before, there is a danger in this misty mountain range that has been unknown before. We need to keep ourselves safe first and then think about the mission. With the addition of Murphy, Simon is more cautious about this mission.

Simon led the team into the fog-shrouded area. Murphy was protected in the middle of the team, and Kane was also close behind Murphy.

The speed of the team was very slow, and after almost an hour of searching, many monsters with weak strength were found on the way, and the people of the Tempest Mercenary Regiment ignored them.

The team continued on as they crossed a small hill and came to a waterhole. Mo Fei, who had a keen sense, suddenly felt that the fog around him had become thicker than just now. The surroundings became unusually quiet, and even the sounds of insects that were present at any time in other places were not heard here. The atmosphere became even more eerie.

"Everyone, be careful, this place is not quite right!" Mo Fei reminded him.

Hearing this, everyone in the experienced Tempest Mercenary Group in the field drew their weapons one after another, carefully guarded, ready to deal with unexpected situations at any time. Kane also drew his giant axe and protected it in front of Murphy.

While everyone was on guard, no one noticed that the waterhole in front of them had changed. A faint pink mist rose from the waterhole, silently enveloping everyone.

At this time, Mo Fei suddenly felt that the scene around him had changed, and he had returned to the familiar place where he had lived for twenty years. At this time, he was outside the door of the Jade Void Palace. Pushing open the door, the master in charge, as well as his sloppy master and many other elders were looking at him with surprise on their faces.

"Stinky boy, where have you been all this time? Do you know how worried we are about you! Don't hurry up and report to your uncle!" The sloppy Taoist walked up to Mo Fei quickly, pointed to Mo Fei's nose and said.

"Master, when I was studying the space circle some time ago, somehow, the circle suddenly generated a powerful suction. Not only did he absorb the spiritual power of the apprentice, but he also sucked me into a strange continent, and I ...... on that continent" Suddenly, Mo Fei, who was about to tell the master and others about his experience during this period of time, was stunned.

Isn't he on a mission in the Misty Mountains with Simon and the others? How could he suddenly return to the Jade Void Mountain? No, none of this is true, all of this is an illusion!!

Mo Fei, who had recalled, looked at the sloppy Taoist and the others in front of him again. I saw that the appearance of Master and the others was changing. The expression on his face distorted for a while, and suddenly all his mouths suddenly cracked, and he opened his bloody mouth and rushed towards Mo Fei.

Knowing that all this was an illusion, Mo Fei did not panic. Instead, he slowly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, Mo Fei's eyes were glowing with a faint golden light—the Eye of Truth. One of the unique spells of the Jade Void Sect, which can see through all the illusions of the maze. However, the level of illusion it can see through is determined by the caster's own strength.

Although Mo Fei at this time only had the strength in the late stage of Qi training. But his divine sense is powerful, and the illusions on this backward continent have become invisible when facing the True Eye cast by Mo Fei.

In the eyes of Mo Fei, who had seen through the illusion, the master and the others with their mouths wide open had already disappeared. At this time, in his golden eyes, he saw that above the waterhole, a monster with a sharp horn on its head, at least three meters long, and looking like a cat, was casting a pale pink mist around it through the sharp horns on its head.

For Mo Fei, who has been in the library for a long time, he still has a certain understanding of the information about some magical beasts on the mainland. The monster he faced at this time was called Mirage. What he is good at is to confuse his enemies by creating illusions. It can even kill enemies directly through illusions. The people who died in the previous two mercenary groups should have been done by this mirage!

The sharp horns on the top of the mirage's head are the top material for making magic wands. So the mirage has always faced the fate of being hunted and killed. Very few mirages are able to grow to adulthood. An adult mirage can grow to the seventh order, comparable to a human sword master and a mage. Generally, the size of a first-order mirage is only about half a meter long, and with each step, it can grow by about half a meter. Looking at the size of the mirage beast in front of him, about three meters over, it was obvious that this was an adult mirage beast, and its strength was already comparable to that of a human seventh-order powerhouse.

Although most of the mirage's attacks are through illusions, unlike other magical beasts, they use magic attacks and melee attacks. But it's not something that the people of the Tempest Mercenary Group can contend with. If you don't interrupt the mirage's illusion and pull everyone out of the illusion, everyone is afraid that it will be more than lucky!

At this time, Mo Fei couldn't care about hiding his strength, and in the face of the seventh-order demonic beast, Mo Fei was not sure of victory. I saw Mo Fei take out a short sword from the storage bag, pinched the magic trick in his left hand, and poured his own spiritual power into the short sword, only to see that the short sword was like a streamer, flying towards the mirage with great might.

Mo Fei didn't expect to be able to kill the seventh-order demonic beast with a single sword, he only hoped to be able to interrupt its illusion, and then with the help of everyone's strength, he could defeat it.

As a seventh-order demonic beast, this mirage beast already had considerable intelligence. When Murphy attacked it, it was immediately spotted. In the face of the attack of this human who can escape its own illusion, it does not dare to take it lightly. Immediately gave up on maintaining the illusion and resisted Mo Fei's attack with all his might.

The mirage beast is a seventh-order demonic beast, although it is not known for physical attacks. However, the powerful physical defense of the seventh-order demonic beast still greatly reduced Mo Fei's attack. I saw that the short sword was blessed by Mo Fei's spiritual power and controlled by the sword technique, constantly attacking the mirage. But the dagger's attack only broke through the mirage's skin, piercing it to a depth of about two inches, and did not cause much damage to it.

Although it did not cause effective damage to the mirage, Mo Fei's purpose had been achieved. Kane and the rest of the Tempest Mercenary Regiment came to their senses from the illusion. Some mercenaries with slightly inferior strength still looked frightened.

The people who came to their senses quickly spotted Mo Fei who was fighting the mirage. The well-informed people naturally recognized the demonic beast in front of them, and they also knew that the demonic beast in front of them was a mirage beast that had reached the seventh order. But what surprised everyone even more was indeed Mo Fei, who was fighting the mirage at this time.

Isn't Mo Fei a physically weak magician? Why is he fighting the mirage head-on with his sword now? And he has actually reached the realm of the Qi Imperial Sword that the Great Sword Sect can only achieve!!

The world must be crazy, and everyone can't believe their eyes. Only Kane didn't have much surprise in his eyes. Although Mo Fei had never shown his strength in front of him, Kane, who had a blind admiration for the young master, felt that this was taken for granted.

"Hey, you're just standing aside and watching the excitement, why don't you come over and help!" Seeing everyone standing aside in a daze, Mo Fei couldn't help but complain.

Everyone who was awakened by Mo Fei's words rushed forward to help with their weapons. With the help of everyone, especially Kane and Simon after the madness. Mo Fei's pressure was suddenly reduced a lot, and he took the time to add buff magic to everyone, and everyone's attack became even more fierce.

The mirage beast, which had been injured in the battle with Mo Fei, was now even more powerless to parry in the face of the siege of everyone. Although the defense of the epidermis is very strong, in the face of the strong attack of everyone, the internal organs have been injured a lot. Soon, the mirage fell in front of everyone with blood in its mouth.

The crowd, who were tired and collapsed to the ground, did not pay attention to the corpse of the mirage on the ground. Instead, they looked at Mo Fei curiously, waiting for Mo Fei to answer everyone's doubts!

"Don't look at me like that, I'm a magician, but I didn't say I don't know martial arts!" Mo Fei could only explain when he saw everyone looking at him.

"Damn! perverted!" the crowd dropped a word of disdain before turning their attention to the mirage's corpse. It's not that everyone doesn't want to dig deeper, but everyone knows that Mo Fei's identity is definitely not ordinary. There are some secrets that will definitely not be told. Everyone just needs to know that Mo Fei saved them and is a companion with them!

Simon on the side thought more far-reaching than everyone else. Mo Fei is so young, he has such strength, his future achievements are definitely limitless, and maybe he can become an invincible god-level powerhouse on the mainland. Although his mercenary group is a little famous, there is no strong man in charge, and it is impossible to achieve greater achievements. Why don't you lead the Tempest Mercenary Group to choose to follow Mo Fei, maybe in the future, when the mainland praises Mo Fei's prestige, there will also be rumors about him and his Tempest Mercenary Group!

The more Simon thought about it, the more excited he became, and he looked at Mo Fei with a pair of burning eyes, so that Mo Fei, who saw his eyes on the side, couldn't help but shrink back!!
