Chapter 127: There is no cave
About a quarter of an hour later, Leach, who was already slightly panting, suddenly felt the pressure on his body lighten, and the whip shadow that had covered the sky disappeared completely.
Looking around, Leach couldn't help but be stunned on the spot.
The vines are gone, the cactus forest is gone, and even the long yellow sand that can be seen everywhere is also gone, and the space where the three of them are at this time is simply different from the original.
Towering trees, lush shrubs, babbling streams, and if it weren't for the fact that he and his party were in the deepest part of the Desert of Death, Leach would have thought that everything he had experienced before was an illusion.
Now that they were sure that everything they had been experiencing before was true, Leach began to wonder if they had fallen for the illusion. However, as soon as this idea came to mind, he immediately rejected it.
As we all know, there are many professions on the continent of Hine, and one of them is the illusionist. In this day and age, the decline of illusionists is a foregone conclusion, because today's illusionists don't play much role in battle at all, even if they accidentally fall into illusion, as long as the body is attacked, the illusion will be lifted immediately, and even a slight collision can cause the same result.
In addition, the illusionist is not like a mage can recite a few spells, first of all, their own mental power must be stronger than the other party, this is the basic premise, secondly, the illusion must not be disturbed in any way, once interfered with, the light is mentally sluggish, the worst is completely incapacitated, can only be slaughtered by others, and finally the most limiting point, the illusion must be launched when the other party's body and mind are completely relaxed, which has caused the illusionist has now been classified into a non-combat profession, responsible for reducing the pressure of the rich, or taking them to experience a different way of life, completely reduced to a bard-like, singers, etc.
Don't look at today's illusionists who are not very useful at all, but according to legend, in ancient times, illusionists were once brilliant. At that time, the illusionist was very powerful, not only did he not have so many release conditions as now, but once the opponent was hit by the illusion, even if he was beaten to death, he would not wake up from the illusion, so you can imagine how respected the status of the illusionist at that time.
It's a pity that later, for some reason, the inheritance of the illusionist, like the alchemist, has been broken, even more thorough than alchemy. At least the ancient alchemists left behind many alchemy laboratories for future generations to refer to, but the ancient illusionists did not leave the slightest useful information for future generations, so that the once popular profession of illusionist has fallen to this point.
Just a moment ago, they were still being held by the devil Shaling, if the three of them were caught in the illusion, they should have woken up after being attacked at this moment, so Leach immediately ruled out this possibility.
Just when Leach was in doubt, Kumar, who had changed back to his original form, walked over with a smile: "How is it, isn't it surprised?"
Seeing that his expression was calm, without the slightest hint of panic and surprise, Leach hurriedly asked, "Kuma, what's going on, where are we here?"
The smile on Kumar's face was even stronger, but he didn't continue to sell Guanzi: "This is naturally Dabi's destination, where else can it be?"
This explanation not only did not relieve the two of them, but made Leach more and more confused: "But we ...... just now"
"We were in the desert just now, but now we're in the forest, right?" Kumar took over before Leach could finish speaking, "There is no doubt that we are still in the Desert of Death in terms of geographical location." ”
Sweeping his gaze to Leach, who was about to speak, Kumar waved his hand and continued: "Do you know why this place is called a forbidden place? Because this is the back garden of the god of the grassland, and it is the god of the grassland who uses his supreme divine power to isolate this place from the outside world, so you will have the illusion of going to another world." ”
An atheist like Leach would be miserable if someone kept talking about God in front of him, but this time he didn't feel impatient for the first time.
In Wright's library, Leach used to read books about magic circles. The magic array in the present world has two effects: offensive and defensive, in addition, there is also a type of magic array that is used to seal and cover the aura.
No matter what kind of magic array it is, its coverage area will not be too wide, this is because the arrangement of the magic array must be done in one go, and the consumption of spiritual power is very huge, and the spiritual power of the mage is not inexhaustible after all, so the magic array on the Hine Continent is not widely used.
According to Kumar, Leach judged that this so-called forbidden place was sealed by some kind of super-large magic array, but if the speculation was true, he really couldn't imagine how vast the spiritual power of the person who arranged this magic array was.
You must know that even the holy land on the Hein Continent, which has the longest inheritance and is claimed to be favored by the gods, has never heard of having a magic array covering such a large area, let alone anywhere else.
Thinking of this, Leach couldn't help but be shocked in his heart: Is it possible that there are really gods in this world?
Kumar didn't know that his unintentional words made Leach's heart turn up a monstrous wave, and he still introduced to the two of them with great fascination: "It is rumored that the ancient Death Desert is not what it is now, but full of vegetation, birds and flowers, just like in this place where we are now, but later, with the gradual reproduction of human beings, the original green water and green mountains slowly turned into yellow sand." Later, the god of the steppe was enraged, expelled the humans here, protected the last of the well-preserved forests with divine powers, and set up many obstacles to prevent humans from continuing to plague the area. ”
"Why did the god of the steppe still care about the forest...... Is it a part-time job?" Looking at Kumar's black face with a hint of blush floating because of his agitated mood, Leach couldn't help but complain in his heart, and the little awe that had just risen dissipated in an instant, "The magic sticks are really unreasonable!"
"Alright, I see!" Seeing that Kumar was in an endless posture of continuing, Leach quickly interrupted, "Kuma, with all that said, how are we going to complete the mission? Also, don't we need to join your people?
Speaking of business, the fanatical look on Kumar's face faded slightly: "The ghost lizard and Zhu Yanguo are not here, we have to continue to go deeper." Didn't I tell you before, that the ghost lizard is in the prison where the god of the steppe punishes the murderers, do you think the environment here looks like a prison......? It seems to be a little difficult ......."
