Chapter Twenty-Six: The Black-Eyed Raccoon
Ryan and Al were sitting casually on the grass, eating the dry food they had brought with them, while Knut was playing and keeping watch. www.biquge.infoSuddenly, Konout hissed and straightened up, staring at Ryan's back.
Ryan and Al stood up at once, following Knut's gaze.
"Rustle, rustle" After a while, the sound of someone stepping on the grass sounded.
Ryan ate the rest of his food as he beckoned for Knut to return to his arms.
Sure enough, as the sound of "rustling" continued to approach, three people emerged from the grass. When they saw Ryan and Al, they were stunned for a moment. looked at the two teenagers in front of him vigilantly, and then immediately relaxed, because the other party did not have a black-eyed raccoon in his hand.
"Which Chamber of Commerce are you from?" One of the three asked.
"Golden Eagle, what about you." Ryan replied truthfully, because everyone was empty-handed, and there would be no conflict of interest, so Ryan didn't care.
"We are Tianhui people, try hard to find it, little ghost, let's go." The three of them left in a hurry.
Such a scene has appeared many times in the past few days, sometimes it is a mercenary who is also employed by the Golden Eagle, sometimes it is someone from Tianhui, and once it is a mercenary who works alone. But there were no conflicts.
After seeing the three of them walk away, Ryan released Knut again. After a while, the two of them and the snake rested, and then resumed their work.
"Hey, seven more forks." Ryan and Al are looking for a way out of a cavern.
"It seems like the third time," Al reminded him.
"No way, just pick one." Ryan pointed to the middle road. "Let's go in the middle, let's move forward."
"Hmm." Al answered.
"Hiss" even Knut, who was coiled around Ryan's neck, nodded humanely.
So the two of them entered from the middle intersection with a snake, turned left and right, and advanced another hundred meters or so and finally walked out of the road, but the scene in front of them made them a little helpless.
"There are still seven branches, this cave is really like an anthill."
"Now take the right road." Al rarely offered to ask.
"Okay." Ryan didn't care about the response.
In this way, the two of them walked into this road, and after a difficult distance of about 100 meters, there were no more and no less seven branches in front of them.
"What's going on with this cave, it's endless" Ryan was a little surprised, he hadn't found a strange cave in the past few days, and once he encountered a large group of bloodthirsty bats, if they hadn't run so fast, they would have been sucked dry. However, this was the first time they had encountered such a cave that was constantly diverging. And after walking a lot, Ryan faintly felt that the route he took was somewhat familiar, as if he had bent left and right and walked back to the same place.
Ryan and Al exchanged ideas, and Al felt the same way, as if there was no end to the curve.
So the two of them took two more trips with the purpose of the experiment, and both of these times they were deliberately trying to remember the route they had taken, and it turned out that it was really exactly the same.
Ryan and Al stood in front of the seven forks again, and this time they didn't rush in. The two of them, one of them was a mercenary, and one of them went into the Lagos Mountain alone and walked out. The other is a thief, stepping on the point, and the work of pathfinding has never been less. It can be said that the sense of direction of the two of them is not bad, and in order to verify the ideas in their hearts, the two of them have already understood a lot of things.
They seemed to move forward in a zigzag before, but in fact they didn't go far, and each time they returned to where they were.
The two looked at each other and smiled, and four words popped up in their heads, "black-eyed raccoon".
How is it not gratifying that the multi-day search has finally come to fruition? But before they could be happy, a new problem arose. Although I already know that I am in a fantasy world, how can I get rid of it?
It's not just Ryan who has this question, there are two others who have the same confusion. Not far from this cavern, the two men were trying to break free from their illusions.
One of them was sitting cross-legged, trying to solve the illusion by meditating, and the other was a little rough, attacking indiscriminately in all directions like crazy, and his knife fell, leaving traces on the rock walls of the cave, but it was useless except for wasting his own efforts. Of course, none of this Ryan knows.
Ryan was a little stunned at this time, although he knew some basic magic, but it was only some small magic such as wind blades and fireballs, which was not helpful for cracking the illusion. The spiritual power that was stronger than ordinary people also lost its effect at this time, except that it would not be tripped in this dim cave, and it didn't feel anything abnormal at all.
A helpless Ryan hesitated, though he, Al, and Konute were all bewildered by the illusion. However, Ryan knew that there was a person, oh no, a snake, or a soul-like being, and Ryan didn't know what it was. Although it is arrogant and unsightly, it is very annoying, but it has a way to crack it.
Ryan was hesitating to tell Al about Ouroboros' Ring?
After thinking about it, Ryan thought that Al would know sooner or later, so he would just tell him now. Well, tell Al that his understanding and support for him, and the time he's spent together, makes it worth telling him the secret.
Lane, who had made up his mind, walked straight up to Al, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a solemn expression, "Al, I've actually been hiding something from you. ”
"Hmm," Al nodded nonchalantly. Who doesn't have a few secrets of their own?
"Al, I'm going to tell you a secret next, this matter is very important, so you must help me keep it." Ryan said with a serious expression.
"Well, I understand." Al's expression became serious.
Ryan raised his hand, bit his finger, and dripped a drop of blood on the Ouroboros ring, and suddenly a faint light curtain appeared on the ring, and an inconspicuous black snake appeared in front of him.
Twisting his body, the little black snake glanced at Al, looked around again, and suddenly said, "Ryan, what's going on." ”
After Ryan glanced at Al, he quickly explained, "Ring Spirit, his name is Al, he is my partner, I can guarantee it, he can be trusted." ”
Al was stunned, and when Ryan raised his hand, he noticed the ring. If the ring had special powers that could help them crack the illusion, Al would only be slightly surprised, but not so surprised.
Because some extremely powerful weapons or accessories are spiritual, and even choose their own masters, he has such a piece. But he couldn't have imagined that the seemingly ordinary Ouroboros Ring actually had a ring spirit, oh my God, it was a ring spirit, only artifact-level items would have souls, and high-level items in the artifact would have the ability to break away from the artifact and come temporarily, no wonder Ryan was so cautious.
As Ryan explained to the Ringwraith, the Ringwraith couldn't help but smug when he saw Al's surprised expression.
"Idiot, that's not what I'm talking about." The Ringwraith unceremoniously criticizes Ryan.
As soon as the Ringwraith said a word, Ryan and Elton were shocked, Ryan was shocked because the Ringwraith didn't care that anyone else found out about his existence, and Al was because the Ringwraith was so personal. Only Konute stuck out his tongue at the Ringwraith as usual, in a gesture of friendship.
The Ring Spirit, as a soul born from an artifact, possesses extremely high intelligence in its own right, not to mention human emotions. However, they are conceived by artifacts, and they are more or less proud of it. The spirit of the Ouroboros Ring resides in the Ouroboros Ring, and anyone who gets such an artifact will only have respect and worship for it, so he doesn't care if its owner is the only one who knows about its existence. On the contrary, the shock and gaffe when others see it are easier to satisfy its vanity.
"Ryan, how did you run into this unruly illusion?" The Ringwraith explained.
"We wanted to search for the black-eyed raccoon, but we didn't even see the black-eyed raccoon, so we fell into its illusion and couldn't get rid of it at all."
"Heh, sure enough, asking you is also asking in vain, you don't even know when you were recruited." The Ringwraith's look of hatred is not made of steel, "One more thing, you must have seen that stupid bear before." ”
Hearing the words of the Ringing Spirit, Ryan and Al were stunned at the same time, they themselves didn't know when they had seen the black-eyed raccoon, but they didn't dare to question what the Ringspirit said, otherwise, it would be another scolding and belittling.
Seeing Ryan and Al looking at each other, the Ring Spirit put on the biggest posture of the world, "Alas, you don't have to feel inferior, although you are weaker, your vigilance is poor, and your head is not bright, but you can find that you are already in the illusion, and it is not too late. ”
Ryan "............"
Al "............"
"That kind of stupid bear's garbage illusion will only be tricked when you see its dirty and black eyes."
"This dark cave is their favorite, it likes to hide in the dark and watch you, as long as you look into the darkness, you will unconsciously fall into the illusion."
After listening to the Ringwraith's explanation, both Ryan and Al understood that from the moment they stepped into this cave, they were already in a deep illusion.
"Then how can you crack it?" Ryan couldn't help but ask.
The Ring Spirit said with a sincere face, "Well, with your qualifications, after one hundred and eighty years of cultivation, you should be able to easily see through this kind of trick" and then looked at Al, and added in a serious way, "The silver-haired imp may take longer." ”
"Well, do you know a practical way to do it?"
The Ringwraith wagged its tail and said disdainfully, "Cut, be careful with your words, it's an insult to me to ask me if I know any other way." ”
Seeing that the Ring Spirit began to play again, Ryan really lost his temper and apologized again and again, which soothed the Ring Spirit's injured mood.
"In fact, the solution is very simple, as long as the source of the illusion is solved, without energy support, this trick will naturally be self-defeating."
Hearing that the Ringwraith had finally said something useful, Ryan and Al both craned their ears and listened carefully, for fear of missing some details. But in the end, the two of them turned their eyes to the ring spirit.
The Ringwray enjoyed this gaze very much, and pretended to be embarrassed but triumphant, but happily quickly fiddled with his tail, and revealed his true emotions, "Okay, okay, I'll give you another point." Who made me here for a being who has the ability to see through this third-rate illusion? Right there, the stupid bear was still giggling there. With that, he pointed to a dark corner with his tail.
Ryan and Al looked down the spot the Ringwraith was pointing, and it was an inconspicuous corner that was most easily overlooked.
