106, Mirage

In the valley, the fog is so thick that even the sun can't penetrate it.

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, however, all the fog seemed to be guided by something, and suddenly converged in one direction.

In the end, it went directly into a black and red gourd.

As a result, the fog temporarily cleared up in an area, and the vision became much clearer.

"Let's go!"

Ji Ye put away the "miasma gourd" in his hand.

As a magic weapon from the Cultivator Terran Plane with a grade that has reached the Second Order of Transformation and Excellence, this gourd's ability to collect mist is definitely more professional than any scientific and technological civilization item.

The only problem, probably, was that after all, it was only a second-order metamorphosis, and its extraordinary power was limited, so it was impossible to absorb the fog in the entire valley.

However, it is enough to absorb some of the mist.

Because, the three people detected on this trip, his eyesight is excellent, Li Qing has a combat detector, and Wu Song can also sense it with the "ghost knife" in his hand.

Therefore, along the way, the footsteps did not stop, and he had entered the territory of the mud clan.

It is worth mentioning that after killing the leader of the Mud Monster Clan yesterday and gaining a lot of merit and experience, Wu Song had already broken through this morning and entered the third order of metamorphosis.

Perfect-level people have a very deep understanding of their own exercises, as long as they have enough experience, they can advance quickly.

Of course, to a certain extent, this is also due to the various enhanced resources of Erlong Cottage.

For example, Wu Song, the "Pseudo Zhuguo" produced by the red fruit tree after promotion, also got one!

And Li Qing also officially stepped into the "first order of transformation", and won the "elite" assessment.

In addition to practicing Wu Song's internal strength and mental method, it was also because he had fought with foreign races more than once during his exploration in the past few days.

Life and death struggle is the easiest thing for people to make a breakthrough!

The three mortal-level powerhouses, even if they really encountered the mud monster clan, were completely enough to retreat.

"Well, did you hear that? There seems to be a sound of battle ahead! ”

And in the territory of the mud monster, after advancing for about a hundred meters, Wu Song's ears suddenly moved.

"There's the sound of water, and there seems to be the sound of heavy objects being thrown out and then dropping?"

And Ji Ye listened intently, and she was even more able to distinguish something.

"Do you mean ......?"

The three of them looked at each other, then sped forward.

And along with the advance, there are some surprises that the fog has actually decreased to a certain extent.

By the time they had advanced about a kilometer or so in the canyon, the fog in front of them had almost completely dissipated.

Coupled with the afterglow of the sun, which had already begun to set, it allowed them to see directly what was happening.

The first thing that catches your eye is a large "lake".

Perhaps, to be precise, a surface of water formed by the rising tide of the sea, which pours into the canyon.

And just above this stretch of water, a battle is breaking out that is quite spectacular!

"Boom, boom, boom......"

One by one, the ooze monsters floated and rose in the water.

From under the lake, a variety of "cannonballs" in the shape of stones were taken out.

Then, it is suspended on the surface of the water, like a catapult, or a "mud cannon", and is fired towards the water near the seaside!

And these shells fell to the water, and suddenly smashed out columns of water several meters high, and the waves were churning.

"Boom, boom......"

Moreover, there are obviously some "cannonballs" with special properties!

For example, some yellow rocks exploded when they hit the surface of the water, turning the temperature of an area hot, emitting a large amount of white smoke, killing a bunch of aquatic creatures.

Some of the black stones, when they fall into the water, suddenly seem to stain an area as if they were stained with ink, and even the sun's rays that shine on them are absorbed.

There are also red stones inside, which not only do not sink when they fall to the surface of the water, but instead roll wildly, leaving behind a circle of flames that continue to burn.

Obviously, this should be a "resource" in the hands of the Mud Clan, or the loot obtained by clearing the monsters in the area.

It is likely to be said that it belongs to the metamorphosis quality item!

It's just that what makes people speechless is that their intelligence is really lacking, and they didn't carry these "special shells" in their two encounters with humans.

However, perhaps they can't be blamed, after all, the body structure of this race is really strange, and there is no way to say that they travel far away with ammunition like humans!

These items can only be said to be used for the defense of the stronghold.

It's just that the target of the mud monsters at this time is definitely unexpected.

In the area where these cannonballs keep falling, there are also mud monsters floating one by one, and even constantly lifting "cannonballs" from the water to shoot this way?

"The mud monsters are in the clan, and there is infighting?"

This is the first reaction of the three people who found a place to hide their figures, and after seeing this situation.

"Mud monsters, there are so many!"

And this is the second reaction.

Just because, on the entire water surface, the number of mud monsters on both sides combined, at least one hundred and fifty more.

You know, the level of these mud monsters is above that of humans, even though their intelligence and civilization are a little worse.

After killing twenty of them by the Terrans, according to the principle of balance, there should be no more than eighty, how could there be so many left?

"Well, that's not right!"

"It must be the mud monsters fighting another alien race."

"And this alien race should have some kind of ability to create visual illusions."

"If you look closely, the cannonballs on the opposite side will dissipate directly after flying a certain distance, turning into a white gas-like appearance. It is clear that they are not real mud monsters, and the cannonballs are fake. ”

In the absence of fog cover, Ji Ye's eyesight advantage is obvious, but he can see the clues.

Creating illusions is undoubtedly a very good ability.

In particular, the illusion created by the alien race on the other side is simply lifelike, and it looks almost exactly like the mud tribe.

At least, for human beings, once they encounter such an opponent, they will undoubtedly get into trouble.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

It's just that this alien illusion doesn't seem to be very effective against mud monsters.

Because the "cannonballs" sent out by the mud monsters did not fall towards the phantom mud monsters at all, but most of them fell on the empty space on the water surface.

"Poof!"

And it was obviously smashed in the air.

After an explosion, a mud monster suddenly dissipated on the surface of the water, which had been boiled by yellow stones.

Immediately after, the corpse of a mollusk creature about a meter in diameter and a layer of light white shell on its body emerged.

"It's a creature called the Mirage, and its level has reached the Seventh Order of Transformation, Elite!"

The location of this dead new alien race happened to be within the range of Li Qing's combat power detector.

A burst of red light flashed, but it was to obtain the other party's race and strength information!

"Mirage?"

"It's an illusion that looks like an enlarged oyster, that's a fitting name!"

Ji Ye said.

Compared with the "ooze monster" he named on this side, the alien race on the opposite side who doesn't know whose name was definitely much in line with the prototype.

Just because the creature "mirage" is described as a "great oyster" in ancient legends, and the "mirage" is related to this creature.

Legend has it that it is the breath exhaled from the mouth of the "mirage" that forms a continuous "pavilion castle" on the sea, making it difficult to distinguish the real from the fake!

Of course, the big oyster is only a kind of mirage, and there are myths that the mirage is a kind of "dragon".

Speaking of which, although there are a large number of alien races in this land of inheritance that are completely unknown to humans.

But there are also some alien races that seem to resemble the creatures of ancient myths and legends of various countries.

For example, according to Meng Lao, the appearance of the eagle man actually has the feeling of "Garuda" in Indian mythology and legend, and the human body has a hawkish face and eagle legs, except for the lack of wings, which is highly overlapping with this legendary creature.

As for the reason for this situation, many people speculate that perhaps the "Land of Inheritance" has been opened more than once in the process of human civilization, and some mythical creatures recorded in myths and legends, demons and monsters, are actually some kind of alien race.

Of course, these problems should also be the category of those experts and governments to worry about, for the Erlong cottage at this time, the question is how to act in the face of the current situation?

"Obviously, this is an opportunity."

"They are fighting with each other, and we are just the fishermen profiting!"

Under the battle detector with red lenses, Li Qing's eyes were shining.

During the last war between Erlong Cottage and the Soul Clan, these mud tribes tried to pick up cheap, although they did not succeed in the end, but suffered heavy losses, but they also managed to shadow humans from behind.

Wouldn't the war between the Mud Clan and this new "Mirage" be an opportunity for the Terran to successfully move back to the field?
