Chapter 551: Minefield Jumping

The 'Mirage Season Strategy' provided by the Lantern God Friendship, Mu You turned his head and made it public in the group.

And everyone was relieved to see such a detailed mechanism, or that sentence, the unknown is the most terrifying, no matter how complex and dangerous the rules are, once they are revealed, the threat will plummet.

"In other words, the abandoned city scenes we see now are all real, but in a different location?" The Son of Heaven asked.

"Yes." Mu You replied: "So I propose that we set off immediately to find the real ruined city, as long as we can find and light the soul-attracting lamp, even if we fail to open up the wasteland this time, we can teleport over at any time next time, and we don't need to go through the bottom of the lake again." ”

"Okay."

"No problem......"

……

Everyone had no opinions, and a simple task was assigned in the group.

After waiting for a while in the game, after the respective characters woke up, they scattered according to the original plan, searching for clues to the ancient city in several directions.

What Mu You didn't expect was that he, the strategy provider, was the last one among the crowd to wake up.

According to the god of lights, after each fall asleep in the mirage, it takes 2-8 hours to wake up normally.

During this period, if you take Nightmare Powder, you can wake up at any time after being attacked, but if you don't sleep for the minimum two hours, you will soon fall back asleep after waking up.

Compared with the two powders, it is obviously better than nightmare powder, because there is a chance to wake up in advance, while dream powder is safe, but it can only sleep until it wakes up naturally, and it is a little unlucky, it takes seven or eight hours to wake up after sleeping at a time, and a third of the day is gone.

For example, Mu You was more unlucky this time, and he slept for seven and a half hours before the character finally woke up, and at this time, other people who were still alive had been exploring for a long time.

But there is also a benefit, before he wakes up, someone has already explored the suspected ancient city's land.

"In the southwest direction, it feels like a man-made flat road......" message is Jiuyou.

When the others saw the news, they immediately adjusted the direction of exploration and began to head southwest.

"Hey, I look like I've passed through a wetland! Wait for me to fumble around......" Bluebeard suddenly left a message.

"Haha, I found it, eggs! Not hatched yet! ”

"Awesome, really lit up the surroundings! I can finally see the real thing! Bluebeard looked quite excited.

"Tell me, what does the real scene look like?" Someone is curious.

"It's a wasteland, like a swamp...... There are a lot of crooked necks growing trees......"

"Wait a minute, the ball of light is gone, wait until I take someone to touch a few more eggs, and then look at ......"

……

This is where Bluebeard's news comes to an abrupt end.

It took more than ten minutes for him to bubble again.

"Holy! It's like we've broken into a worm's nest, and a lot of beetles are chasing us......"

"These beetles are playing around, hundreds of them are acting together......"

"It's over, my men are dead......"

"What about you?" Someone cares.

"I forcibly escaped by relying on the god skin, but these things are still chasing for the death, and when my god skin time comes, I will definitely die ...... too."

Bluebeard seemed to foresee the fate of his death, so he simply took a bold look: "Brothers, I guess we have to go first, but we can't lose the more than 20 insect eggs that we finally touched, I threw them under a snail stone carving, and there will be someone who will come here, you can find it nearby......"

After Bluebeard finished speaking, he barely escaped for a few more minutes, and then he was covered by the swarm of insects and completely returned to the west.

Others are interested in picking it up, but unfortunately everyone's itinerary is too scattered, and they have already gone far away, and they have run to another direction for a few insect eggs, which is really worth the loss, and with this time, maybe they can find the wetland if they continue to walk.

So everyone didn't take action, which made Mu You pick up a bargain.

At this time, Mu You's figure had just woken up, and immediately rushed in the direction of Bluebeard.

【…… You've come to a place that looks like a wetland, with sticky mud and puddles......]

[You activated 'existence', and your sense of existence became extremely thin......]

【…… You groped for a snail stone carving, searched around, and soon found some soft and slippery spheres under the stone carving......]

【You have obtained 'Dream Breaker Egg'*24......】

It was much smoother than expected, and not long after he came over, he happened to crash into the place where Bluebeard died, and directly collected this wave of inheritance.

Mu You immediately crushed an insect egg and tried it.

[You kill an insect egg, the life in the insect egg is lost, and the remaining liquid flows out, condensing into a glowing ball in your hand, illuminating the space within a few meters around you. 】

[You are in a damp mud field at this time, surrounded by desolation, there is no trace of greenery in sight, only a few meters away, there are a few crooked neck trees growing......]

[You suddenly hear a sharp scream behind you, and when you look back, two beetles more than one meter tall appear behind you, their mouthparts closed one by one, revealing sharp teeth and barbed tongues......]

[One of the beetles hisses and pounces on you, while the other beetle opens its mouth and emits a high-pitched hiss towards the distance......]

[You dodge the beetle's pounce and hurriedly start to escape......]

[At the same time, one of the eggs in your hand has just hatched, and a beetle with sharp teeth and mouth emerges from the egg and pounces on your face......]

[You were bitten by a beetle, and your body was poisoned, and your health was drastically reduced......]

"Backtracking."

[Time passes, you take out the eggs that are about to hatch in advance and throw them to the back......]

This thing can only burst into useful things in the form of eggs, and once it hatches into an adult, it will be wasted, but the hatching time is not visible from the outside, and holding it in your hand for a long time is equivalent to holding a time bomb.

What's more, as soon as this thing appears, it calls friends, and it doesn't take long to attract a large group, so it's no wonder that Bluebeard and the others were killed just now.

Fortunately, Mu You's situation is not bad at this moment, and he started to run away without waiting for the beetles to gather in a swarm, and it should be no problem to escape.

【…… You leave the wetland, and the beetles behind you give up the pursuit......]

【…… You enter a wide flat road, as far as the eye can see, there are no obstacles, and there are obvious traces of human construction......]

Not long after leaving the wetland, Mu You successfully arrived at the place that Jiuyou said.

At this point, the others had already penetrated into the area, and from their feedback, it was indeed the abandoned ancient city seen in the previous vision.

And from the moment I entered here, the star rating of the surrounding monsters has increased dramatically, and there have already been people who have encountered monsters of more than five or six stars in a row.

At first, there were still people who had the idea of picking up the leak, hoping to meet some high star monsters in 'sleepwalking' and kill them without damage when the other party couldn't resist.

It's a pity that after wandering for a while, everyone quickly discovered that the high-star creatures are very smart, and there is almost no situation where they fall asleep directly without eating dream powder, either they wake up as soon as they do, or they are protected by a petrified layer, and they can't move at all.

After a few hours, not a single real white prostitution happened, but the side of the wasteland clearing team suffered heavy casualties.

"I'm hanging, come on!" After twelve hours of clearing the wasteland, Jiuyou suddenly posted a sentence in the group.

"Nine Shades is gone? Is it only the Son of Heaven and Captain Ghost now? ”

"It seems to be ......"

"It's too miserable, there are more than 900 people who started to participate in the operation, all of them are elites......"

"It's a wasteland, it just happened to be a natural disaster, it's good to be able to last so long......"

……

Everyone smiled bitterly, before they came, they were full of confidence, they thought they were serious, and it would not be a problem to hold on for a week or two, no one expected that the situation on the other side would be so bad, and they had almost been wiped out on the first day.

"Son of Heaven, Captain Ghost, it's up to you......" someone encouraged.

As a result, as soon as the words fell, the Son of Heaven also sent a message: "Hmm...... Looks like I'm done with that......"

"Ah, this ......"

Everyone was speechless, whose crow's mouth was so smart, as soon as he finished speaking, he hung another one, and now there was only one single seedling left in Mu You.

"Come on, big guy......"

"Hold on......"

"It's up to you......"

Everyone then transferred their encouragement to Mu You.

Mu You said that the pressure was great. The reason why he has lived longer than others is that he has picked up the cheap that is backward, and the road ahead has basically been explored by everyone for several rounds, and it is relatively safe for him to go again.

The second is that he relied on the vampire's recovery and reduced sense of existence, which greatly improved his ability to survive.

But even so, he didn't dare to guarantee anything, this kind of unfamiliar land is indeed too dangerous.

Next, Mu You manipulated the character to carefully grope in the abandoned city, and fell asleep again because of the mirage in the middle, this time Mu You decisively took the nightmare powder, and was woken up by a little monster after three hours, and continued to explore.

In such intermittent land reclamation, time has come to the next day in the blink of an eye.

It wasn't until the next morning that a hint finally came from the game.

[Under the fluorescent light, you see a scene of pavilions in front of you, which makes you feel very familiar, and the picture you saw is almost the same as when you first came here......]

Mu You's eyes lit up. It was at the very beginning that he saw the Soul Attracting Lamp, and after walking a few steps, he came across the floating Soul Lamp, and at this moment he finally saw the original mirage scene, indicating that the Soul Attracting Lantern was very likely to be nearby.

[You strangled a new beetle egg, and you used the fluorescence of the light ball to find it nearby......]

[Not long after, you suddenly saw a familiar green lantern looming by the puddle not far ahead, it was the soul-attracting lamp! 】

[You are about to rush forward, but suddenly you realize that white bones can be seen everywhere on the ground around you, and from the shape of the bones, these white bones are very similar to the size of humans......]

"Oh?"

Mu You raised his eyebrows, could it be the bones of the Fool's ancestor?

If so, why are so many fools dying near the Soul Attracting Lamp? There's a big problem here......

[You carefully examined the bones all the way, but unfortunately these bones have been dead for many years, and you can't see any abnormal ...... for a while]

[You came to the soul lamp, did you light the soul lamp? 】

"Yes."

[You have lit the soul lamp, and when you die near you in the future, you can choose to resurrect under the soul lamp, and if there are multiple soul lamps in the vicinity, you can choose to resurrect at any soul lamp. Soul-attracting lamps within a certain range can be teleported to each other (you need to stand still under the soul-attracting lamp for more than 10 minutes)]

After lighting the second soul lamp, the attached teleportation function is activated, and even if he dies and returns to the exit, he can be transferred here at any time.

[As soon as you lit the soul-attracting lamp, you saw that on the bluestone below the soul lamp, there were two star spirit words carved on it, which had become blurred under the erosion of the years. 】

[You carefully identify it, only then do you realize that these two words are: 'Run'! 】

[You suddenly feel the ground tremble slightly......]

[You look behind you vigilantly, and you see that in the fog ahead, something seems to be moving rapidly......]

[You throw a dream-breaking ball of light forward, and under the light of fluorescence, you finally see things in the distance. 】

[It was a crab tens of meters tall, covered with red scales, and its back was connected to a three-story wooden building, and it was actually carrying a house to move......]

[After the red crab appeared, the original pavilions not far away suddenly 'stood up' one after another, turning into giant crabs carrying pavilions and pavilions......]

[Many crabs wield clawed claws and slaughtered you from all directions, quickly surrounding you......]

Mu You hurriedly clicked on the text of 'crab'.

[Mirage: The companion species of the mirage, which feeds on the flesh and blood of intelligent creatures, has an amazing defense against hard back armor, and its sharp claws will cause huge additional damage to creatures affected by mirage. Usually lodge on the body of the mirage, and help the mirage to clean up the impurities on the body surface and the creatures that have entered by mistake, so as to ensure a better sleep of the mirage. Mirages act in groups, possess a high degree of intelligence, and are good at camouflaging buildings, treasures, etc., to lure intelligent creatures closer, and then round up and kill ......]

Mu You's face was strange.

After reading this explanation, he immediately understood why there were so many bones of the Fool Ancestor around, including this soul-attracting lamp, which turned out to be traps.

It is likely that these crabs once stumbled upon the effect of the soul-attracting lamp, so they deliberately transferred the soul-attracting lamp here, relying on the soul-attracting lamp to attract the fool's ancestors in a steady stream, and then swallow it as food.

And the reason why Mu You was surprised at this time was not just because of the threat posed by these crabs, but because it was specifically mentioned in the description that this kind of crab usually parasitizes on the body of the mirage, and its job is to clean the creatures on the surface of the mirage.

So since you can see a mirage here, doesn't it mean that the mirage is there......

Mu You suddenly guessed a terrifying possibility: Could it be that after their group came here, the land that they walked under their feet for a day and a night was all just a part of the mirage's body?

They have been clearing the wasteland for a long time, but they are just wandering on the back of the mirage the whole time?

Mu You didn't have time to think about it, and at this time, a series of prompts quickly popped up in the game.

[The nearest mirage crab wriggled and slashed at you......]

[You hurriedly summoned the skin of the god to resist, and the sharp claws grazed over you, and suddenly a terrifying wound was cut on the skin of the god, directly exposing your body......]

[The crust fell, slashing past a monster stone statue not far away, and the indestructible stone statue along the way was easily cut off under the sharp blade of the claw......]

[Seeing that his companion failed to kill you at the first time, the other mirages suddenly screamed and killed you together......]

Mu You's eyelids jumped, the pliers of this thing are too powerful, the stone statue produced during a sweet dream, he always thought it was invincible, but he didn't expect it to be easily pinched by this pliers.

[You activate your presence, which quickly reduces your presence.] It's a pity that the crabs around you are still murderously locking on you......]

These crab stars are obviously quite high, and his 'existence' is only one level, which is ineffective against these things.

Now, Mu You also knew that he would definitely not be able to run this time, so he simply manipulated the character to turn around, rushed to the first crab to shoot at him, and fired a wind burial cannon before he died.

[You aimed the wind burial cannon at the mirage's forelimb joints......]

Crabs are such things, the whole body is covered by carapace, and the defense is really strong, but in order to maintain flexibility, the joints of crabs are very slender, and they cannot cover the armor, but they have become its biggest weakness, and there are countless crabs that accidentally break their legs and feet.

At this time, Mu You specifically aimed at the opponent's weakness.

[The energy in your body was instantly emptied, and countless dense wind blades were stimulated, condensing into a dazzling ball of light......]

[The extremely compressed wind energy runs through, tearing apart everything in its path......]

[You only hear a miserable howl from the mirage in front of you, its raised forelimbs are broken from the roots, and the huge claws fall next to you, do you take it?] 】

"Yes!"

Mu You was waiting for this moment, and hurriedly clicked OK, and then exploded his hand speed, and extracted the loot before being killed by the angry crab.
