Chapter 5: Illusion

"Hey, shall we rest for a while?" just a rambling journey, the exhausted Pearl suggested again.

Three more days have passed since the few people got lost, and perhaps it really confirmed Shion's conjecture, and the few people still haven't found the place where they should have reached the mountain range. And even the recorder seems to have lost its effect, and the walking routes of several people have not been recorded.

"Then rest for a while, but this time you can only rest for ten minutes, grasp the time, don't want to delay the time without recovering your strength at that time. Yaming also had a headache for this eldest lady who ran out of the corner to walk as soon as it was time to rest, so he could only remind him in a semi-warning manner.

It wasn't for Jamin. If it's usual, even if the shape is slow and doesn't reach the destination you want to reach, then it's nothing, after all, the reason why a few people take risks is not just to hunt high-level magical beasts, survival in the forest, and experience this is the real goal of a few people, after all, they are all children of some prominent families, where will they waste precious time for amusement and absorbing wild survival experience for a high-level crystal nucleus.

It's just that it's the way it is now...... , Even if everyone is still lazy, Yaming must take it seriously, although there are generally no high-level demonic beasts in this kind of place, but if you can't find a way out, it's really worse than encountering high-level demonic beasts. And now the only thing a few people can do is to keep moving forward, looking for clues on the way forward, to get out of the predicament. If you are still lazy and lazy at this time, I really don't know if you can get out of the road smoothly within the time of planning.

"President, did you find anything along the way?"

Unlike before, this time Mingzhu seemed to be really tired, and he didn't run out of the city with Lan Feng to go around, but just sat under a big tree and closed his eyes to recuperate, quite quiet. Seeing that the most troublesome member of the group was so peaceful, Yamin came to Aster's side. Ask this wise and attentive elder.

"I haven't found it, and I don't know much about the Warcraft Forest, and all I can do now is perceive fluctuations, but so far, I still haven't found anything at all. There's one thing I'm more concerned about, and although it's speculation, I always feel like we've probably been in the same place all along. Shion guessed.

"Standing still? Unlikely, we've always followed the direction of the compass, and we check the direction regularly, how could it be wrong. Jameen said incredulously.

"But look at your recorder. We've changed direction a few times along the way, but if you look at the recorded route, illusions can only fool people's evil nerves, but the instrument can't interfere with it. โ€

"This is uncountable, I said, this recorder is a product of Kecheng, and it has not been put into use until now, this is just an experiment I got through other channels. It's normal for experiments to have bugs or mistakes in the middle of the process, right?" retorted Jamin.

"I know that this possibility cannot be ruled out, but have you ever thought that our compass can also be wrong? โ€

"That's unlikely, isn't it? Even if there's something wrong with one's compass. Two people have a problem with their compasses, but it's too much to say that six compasses have problems at the same time?"

"Hmm, let me ask you first, how much do you know about illusion?" Shion asked after thinking for a moment when she saw that Jamin was so confused.

โ€œ...... Basically, it can be said that there is a blank slate. Yaming replied with some embarrassment.

"No wonder. The so-called illusion. It is to use mental power to interfere with the other party's perception ability, so that the other party's perception is completely wrong, or to completely disturb the perception system. Causing the other party to be unable to peep into reality, and completely stripping the other party from reality, this is probably the principle of illusion. โ€

"However, if you want to use mental power to interfere with the other party's perception ability, this kind of thing is not so easy to do. At least for a magician of my level, it would be impossible to rely solely on my psychic power to lead me into illusion. Shion explained.

"Impossible, how can we all be put into illusion?" asked Jamin, very innocently.

"There's nothing strange about it, just because you can't bring it in with mental power alone doesn't mean you can't use some special means. If it's a human, it will use domain weapons to strengthen illusions, and I don't know much about Warcraft, but there should be some special means to strengthen illusion abilities. It's not impossible to get us all into illusion. โ€

"Wait a minute, even if some special means are used to bring us all into illusion, but what does this have to do with whether the compass will go wrong?" Just listen to Shion explain the principle of illusion, but what does this knowledge have to do with the compass?

"Of course it does, think about it, what is the principle of the compass?" Shion reminded.

"How does the compass work?" and what does it matter?"

"The principle of the compass is that the magnetic hand is always pointing to the north and south poles through the earth's natural magnetic field, right? But have you ever wondered what would happen to the compass if we were in a stronger magnetic field in our position now?"

"You're saying that illusion can also change the magnetic field?" said Yamin. If that's the case, then the fact that the mountain range has not been reached can be explained.

"That's right. โ€

"But in this case, the recorder should also show it, and it can't be a straight line. Could it be that we have been blinded by illusion and that the compass and recorder we see now are illusory images?"

"No way, you can pinch yourself and it will be clear, this illusion is a more advanced illusion than neural interference, and this illusion is more focused on environmental interference than interfering with personal perception. Have you ever seen the Divine Domain, or how much do you know about the Divine Domain?" Shion asked an irrelevant uh question again.

"I haven't seen it, hasn't that kind of thing always been the exclusive property of the highest power of the camp, where will ordinary people know the Tao. Yamin said as a matter of course.

"I know it!" Although Jamin said that he would only take a ten-minute break, after the discussion began, the ten-minute break had already passed. Zuo Congrong, who was bored, heard the sensitive word of the Divine Domain, and immediately interjected.

"Then you explain it to Jamin and make it up to him. Seeing that Zuo Congrong was so active, Ziyuan was also happy to hand over the commentary task to him.

"The Divine Domain is the realm space condensed by the deep consciousness of the self, and the realm of one's own heart is armed, so it is called the realm of the Gods. Moreover, the biggest difference between the Divine Domain and the Realm is that the Divine Domain can open up an independent space. "For the Divine Domain, which ordinary people may not have seen once in their lifetime, Zuo Congrong has personally seen it twice, and even once was specially used to deal with him, so he naturally knows a lot about the Divine Domain.

"That's right, it's to open up an independent space!" Ziyuan said after Zuo Congrong's explanation.

"What does it mean to open up an independent space?" For Yamin, who doesn't know anything, even if he tells the concept, he still can't think of the key.

"As I said, the other side must have used some means to bring us all into the illusion, right? In this way, not only can you amplify the illusion effect, but you can also hide your own fluctuations completely. โ€

"You think, if we were brought into a separate space at the foot of the mountain, this is the location. Until then, we've been moving in a straight line. However, if you are taken to an independent void with illusion construction, it makes sense that the recorder does not display it. Shion spread out the map and pointed to where the others should have been, explaining to Yamin.

"However, since we have been taken to an independent space, what is the use of interfering with our direction?"

"Maybe the range of the illusion is limited, if we are allowed to move forward, we will get out of the range of the illusion. Shion guessed.

"Indeed, if this is the case, everything can be explained. Yamin thought for a moment and agreed.

"Then what should we do next?" Seeing that the two had finished discussing, Zuo Congrong suddenly burst out of nowhere. Indeed, even if all the speculations are correct and all the conspiracies are clear, what can be done to get out of this predicament?

"......" Yaming was also stunned by the question, not knowing how to answer.

"I know the principle, I'm afraid there is no way to solve it. Since it will interfere with the magnetic field, it means that the range of this illusion will not be too large, otherwise it would not be used this method. If the range is small, I can break this illusion. Shion said confidently.

โ–กโ–ก

"What sound?" Zuo Congrong, who had a keen sense of hearing, suddenly asked.

Now that the assumptions have been made, the next step is, of course, to put it into practice. Aster led the way, completely put away the compass and recorder, and relied on the guidance of Aster's thunder element, groping forward. Although it is an independent space, the elements inside are really not much thinner than those in the forest, and it is thanks to this that Aster can show its skills.

"Voices, what's the sound?" asked Kamio.

"He's nervous, ignore him. "Among the seven people, Shenwei's ability is second only to Ziyuan, and the perception range is naturally much larger than others, since even Shenwei hasn't heard anything, what can Zuo Congrong, an incapable person, find, Mingzhu said to Shenwei.

"Is there really a voice, don't you hear it?" Although he has completely lost his ability, his mental power is still there, whether it is hearing or vision, probably no one among the seven people can beat it, Zuo Congrong saw that no one believed it, and said eagerly. (To be continued......)
