278. Mirage?

……

According to the map, there are several geographical divisions in the Di'an Plateau area.

To the south was the swampy jungle, the same forest they had passed through.

Passing through the swamp, you will reach an area surrounded by four mountains.

The four mountains are located on the southeast, northwest, and northwest sides, which is very magical.

They are named after the Quartet Holy Beasts Qinglong, White Tiger, Xuanwu, and Vermilion Bird.

To the west is the western part of the Di'an Desert, and to the east is the eastern part of the Di'an Desert.

In the middle of the four mountains, there is a basin.

It is marked with moving sand dunes, just looking at the literal meaning, Yuwen Xuanyu doesn't understand it very well.

There are no specific markings on the north side, and there are several question marks.

Presumably that place no one has ever visited, right? It must be in a dangerous location.

The branch of San Gullo where he is now located is located on the edge of the swampy jungle on the Xuanwu Mountain.

According to Kobayashi's description, Kate should be in the western part of the Di'an Desert on the west side of the Basalt Mountain.

The map was carefully rolled up, and Yu Wenxuan's eyes fell on the medical room.

The wound on Tiantian's hand seems to be more serious than expected, and the effectiveness of the bandage on her hand has basically been exhausted.

But she can't be blamed, after all, the materials used to make this kind of bandage are only available in the Di'an region.

She also has her own tasks to do on weekdays, and it is impossible to run here every day, plus the Di'an area is really full of dangers, and it is not so easy to come in once.

According to Xiao Lin's words, she must stay here to recuperate for a while, otherwise if she continues to devote herself to fighting, her entire arm will most likely be scrapped.

Yu Wenxuan thought about it again and again, and decided to leave first alone, after all, his own time was also very tight, and he couldn't delay here for too long.

Not to mention whether Jayne is still in the Di'an region, it may not be easy for him to find Kate during this desert journey.

In the desert, there are many natural crises and many visions.

If it had been delayed for too long, Kate and her party would have already moved their positions, and they would have really been in vain.

After deciding on it, Yuwen Xuanyu greeted Xiao Lin and left the Saint Gulo branch alone and returned to the forest.

The freshness of the earth came to his face, which made him much more comfortable.

The elemental power between heaven and earth continued to pour into his body, and since he fused the elemental heart, Yuwen Xuanyu's dependence on nature had become even stronger.

As long as he stays in the human building and can't get in touch with nature, he feels an inexplicable depression, which makes him breathless, and his physical consumption will also rise sharply.

This symptom can only be alleviated by returning to the outside world.

At this time, the forest was already foggy.

At first, the fog did not affect Yuwen Xuanyu's movements, he only frowned slightly, adjusted his speed, and continued to walk.

After he had traveled a long distance, the fog grew thicker.

The field of vision can only cover a radius of less than ten meters around the body.

As far as the eye can see, there is a vast white expanse all around.

Yu Wenxuan subconsciously became vigilant, it had not been long since he entered the Saint Gulo branch and left, and such a great change had taken place in the forest.

This fog certainly didn't come naturally out of thin air.

His instincts told him that something must have quietly appeared here during this time.

These fogs may be the domain effect of some kind of creature.

It's like the swampy quagmire we encountered earlier.

Thinking so, Yuwen Xuanyu had already begun to slow down.

Now the fog in the area is getting thicker and thicker, so I guess it's very close to this "guy".

He pricked up his ears, carefully feeling for any strange movement in the forest.

However, what was given back to him was silence, not even the sound of the wind and grass, insects and birds, the vitality was fading, and the silence here was terrifying.

Another period of time has passed, and Yuwen Xuanyu, who is groping for advancement, still has not made any progress.

He had never encountered anything but a thicker fog around him, and he had not been attacked by any monsters.

It had suddenly become a little too quiet, and even the monsters that used to forage and roam the forest were nowhere to be found.

Suddenly, he remembered Xiao Lin's words, this area, there are often some strange phenomena that cannot be described in words and cannot be explained.

"Is this one of the visions?"

Just as Yu Wenxuan was pondering, suddenly a black shadow attacked in front of him.

A black arrow pierced through the fog and burst through the air!

Yu Wenxuan was stunned for a moment, and his body reflexively turned sideways to dodge.

The arrow dragged a black smoke and smashed into a light smoke on the trunk of the tree behind him.

No, no, it's not crushed, it's broken.

It's not a physical arrow, it's an illusion?!

Yuwen Xuanyu suddenly felt something, and suddenly turned around and looked ahead.

At some point, he had come to the edge of the forest, where the swampy jungle and the western part of the Di'an Desert were at the junction.

In front of me, there was the image of a tall and dark castle, and on the castle, various cannonballs and arrows were constantly being projected in this direction.

At the same time as the castle appeared, the forest suddenly began to become lively.

Everywhere there were scenes of the Shadow Men moving quickly in the direction of the castle.

These people didn't seem to see him, and even if they passed by, they didn't notice the existence of Yuwen Xuan.

He frowned slightly, and the Sanskrit flute turned into a jade bow.

The blue light flashed, and Yuwen Xuanyu launched an attack in the direction of the castle.

Seeing that the blue light penetrated the castle straight and disappeared into the distance, Yu Wenxuan's face became even more solemn, "Mirage?!"

The fog seemed to project the fighting going on somewhere.

But the environment here doesn't seem to be suitable for generating mirages, and this is what Yuwen Xuan finds abnormal.

"No matter, since Xiao Lin said that he can't even explain science, and the locals can't help these visions, I don't need to worry too much, let's hurry. ”

He shook his head, put away his thoughts, and moved on.

There was constant gunsmoke on his head and around him, and Yu Wenxuan turned a blind eye, anyway, it was just an illusion, and there was no actual harm.

He must now devote all his attention to the "non-visionary" creatures who are hiding in the shadows.

He hadn't forgotten that he was still behind the monster-ridden primeval jungle.

After all, this place is the most complete primeval jungle left by Angulos from ancient times, and no one knows how many elves and associated elven beasts live here.

To explore the way in such a place, you have to wake up anytime and anywhere.

Suddenly, a black shadow in front of his head attacked, it was a fireball illusion projected from the castle, the fireball hit head-on, Yuwen Xuanyu couldn't help frowning.

Although it is an illusion, this menacing momentum actually makes me tremble a little?

At this moment when he hesitated, Yuwen Xuanyu suddenly found that it was too late for him to dodge

"Get down!"

Suddenly, a dark shadow pounced on his side without warning, and a heavy creature knocked itself out and pressed to the ground.

The fireball illusion smashed down fiercely on the place where Yuwen Xuanyu was standing just now, exploded, and dissipated into a stream of gas, and did not roar.

Call......

Sure enough, it was an illusion, and it scared me to death.

Yu Wenxuan breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and came back to his senses, but saw a green wolf lying on top of him, staring at him fiercely, his sharp fangs exposed, full of domineering.

Being controlled by such a monster, he didn't dare to act rashly.

"Come back, Saru. ”

Suddenly, a voice came from nearby, and the green wolf raised his head to the sky and roared, and ran away.

Yuwen Xuanyu quickly stood up from the ground, staring at the figure slowly approaching from the fog, not daring to take it lightly, "Who?!"

"Alas, you men...... Anyway, I saved your life, is this your attitude towards the life-saving benefactor?"

The figure gradually became clear, and the person who came was a woman, dressed as a hunter, with ears disguised as wolves on her head.

She has a pair of domineering eyes that are even brighter than a boy, and the aura exuded by her body can only be formed after a long bloody battle.

Aboriginal?

This was Yuwen Xuanyu's first reaction when he saw her.

The young wolf, Saru, ran to the woman's side, rubbed it a few times, and fell to the ground.

"Save my life? You mean that vision?"

The woman smiled disdainfully, "Illusion, look at your dress, little brother should be from outside, then it's no wonder." ”

The woman crouched down and stroked Saru's head, her gaze inadvertently focused on the badge hanging from the former's waist, "My name is Dean, and indeed what you saw just now is just an illusion, these illusions look soft on the surface, but as long as you are accidentally hit by it......"

As he spoke, Dean raised his right hand to the sky, and with a snort, shot a Hidden Arrow.

The arrows pierced through the dense fog and appeared in the "battlefield" where the artillery was full of fire, and suddenly the flames of war covered and hit the arrows.

That arrow was disillusioned in the fireworks!

This scene stunned Yu Wenxuan, it turned out that the trembling that he had just now at the moment of crisis really felt a fatal threat!

"That's the end. ”

"Phew," Dean stood up, stepping over the wolf and placing it on its back, "come with me, look at the badge you're wearing, it must be a backup from Saint-Gourlo." ”

The latter silently turned his head and glanced at him with a little disgust before leading the way, "Follow closely, don't get the support to be supported in the end." ”

Yu Wenxuan frowned, and he hadn't figured out what was going on.

But this guy named Dean seems to be very familiar with St. Gullo, is he the target of Kate's mission this time?

Then follow her and you should be able to find Kate.

Thinking so, he glanced at the former and reluctantly followed.
