Chapter 564: Chameleon

"Don't worry about this, the mirage is too big to pass through the teleportation node completely, and it will be stuck on the opposite side, at most stretching out its nose."

This is Mu You's answer to the god of lights after consulting the god of lights.

"Of course, the effects of a mirage are unavoidable. The mirage is a playful creature that will stay for a while when it finds something new, and will not leave until it is no longer interested, during which time it will fill the area it wants to detect, and what happens within the scope of the mirage cannot be concealed from its perception. ”

"However, no matter how large the scope of influence of the mirage is, it is impossible to spread to the entire Star Spirit Realm, probably only covering a third of the area at most, and it is impossible to affect your forgotten land, don't worry." The lamp god yawned and explained, apparently not paying much attention.

"Can you only stick your nose out......"

Mu You groaned, in this way, the impact on human beings will indeed not be very large, anyway, the mirage will not reach the earth, and Sky City can move at any time, and it will be enough to fly away directly when encountering the mirage, at most, it is just that there are fewer areas that players can set foot in the Star Spirit Realm.

However, the aborigines of the Star Spirit Realm are more miserable, especially those races whose gathering place is just within the range of the mirage, either the whole race is relocated, or they can only live in the mirage for a long time.

The feeling of being in the mirage Mu You has experienced, anyway, it is not a good experience, in addition to falling asleep every few hours, you also have to face the problem of the inability to use props, and the hunting of mirage creatures.

What's more, each Plague Season lasts for up to 5,000 years, and now that the Mirage Season has just begun, if you're unlucky, it's likely that the Mirage will stay in the Astral Spirit Realm for more than an epoch......

Even if the creatures of the astral spirit realm have the ability to resurrect, they can't withstand such a toss, and for intelligent races with choices, migration is almost an inevitable option.

And if one-third of the races in the Star Spirit Realm begin to migrate, the population density of the remaining areas will increase dramatically, and the turmoil caused by various survival and resource disputes will definitely not be small at that time.

Mu You glanced at the group of city lords, and the discussion about mirage had not stopped at this moment.

"Have all the players evacuated from the real world?"

"Intelligence has been made public, and a retreat is underway."

"Didn't withdraw...... I guess I'm almost dead......"

Jiuyou finally said a word, and everyone expressed their deep sympathy, a few days ago, several of their city lords joined forces to open up the wasteland in the mirage, and in the end they were all wiped out, not to mention these ordinary players.

"Are those shrimp soldiers and crabs going to discover the entrance to the Star Spirit Realm?"

"Not yet, but with the current trend, it will ...... sooner or later"

Mirage is such a thing, and it can be said that it is pervasive everywhere, even if the exit of the Brave Tower is only an ant-hole that cannot be detected compared to the giant world, it is impossible to be missed.

The mirage, on the other hand, can perceive the situation inside the mirage, and once the mirage spreads past the exit location, it will almost certainly be detected by the mirage.

In fact, the mirage penetrates faster than expected.

At noon on the same day, some players who broke through the level in the Tower of the Brave found that several floors on the top of the Tower of the Brave were shrouded in mirage, which made the clearance judgment abnormal.

Mu You urgently kicked all players out of the tower and closed the Tower of the Brave.

But even this could not stop the mirage from spreading.

In just one hour, the entire tower of the Brave had been wrapped in mirage and had lost its effect, and the mirage even poured out of the windows and doors around the tower, surging towards the village of the brave and the surrounding area.

The mirage tapir can't pass through the teleportation point, and it can't enter the Star Spirit Realm for the time being, but those shrimp soldiers and crabs will be able to.

At around four o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, several players had already reported that traces of mirages and shrimps had been spotted near the Village of the Brave.

Luckily, these Shrimp Crabs will not be able to get out of the Mirage's range, as long as players stay outside of the Mirage's range, they will not pose a threat to them.

Mu You took out a topographical map of the Star Spirit Realm and looked at it.

The location of the Tower of the Brave is located in the White Maple City in the south of the Star Spirit Realm, and the White Maple City is located in the buffer zone between the human race and the elven forces, so after the mirage leaks from the Tower of the Brave, the first to be affected is the Tasno Empire next door, as well as the Sun Elves.

The Terran Empire is okay, the capital is relatively far away, and it is backed by a vast plain, so it can be evacuated at any time.

The elves are miserable, the royal city of the daylight elves, Phoenix, is almost on the edge of White Maple City, and there are many important things in Phoenix City that cannot be taken away, such as the phoenix tree, the mother tree of the phoenix, if the elves withdraw, it is equivalent to giving up the phoenix clan that accompanies them.

With Mu You's understanding of these daylight elves, it is impossible for them to move away, and most of them will stay with the invading mirage creatures in order to protect the phoenix tree.

Mu You was silent for these elves for a second, and then continued to look at the periphery.

In addition to the Sunlight Elves and the Tasno Empire, a little further outward, another familiar place name was included in the scope - the Fatimid Empire.

Well, that's the country where the Cult of Arcane Arts is located.

"What a chance!"

The watchman who was blackening with Linglong suddenly slapped his thigh at this time.

"If the mirage is shrouded, the props can't be used, so the secret magic crystals forged by these guys will also be invalid? If so, when the mirage comes over, isn't it a good time to do it! "I'm thinking about it.

Mu You pondered for a moment, and found that what he said was really possible, the crystallization of secret arts, in the final analysis, is also a man-made auxiliary prop, and the mirage can even be blocked by the relics of the real world, let alone the props made by the Star Spirit Realm.

When the mirage comes, the Mystic Church will find that the crystallization has failed, and there will inevitably be a chaos, and it will be much easier to do it at that time.

"Come on!"

Mu You encouraged the two of them, and he didn't support their thoughts, because his own side is also a mess now.

On the map, bypassing the Fatimid Empire and continuing to look down to the left, thousands of miles away, a conspicuous black round cave is impressively listed-the Great Abyss of Lohmadhi.

Yes, the Great Abyss, located in the southwest corner of the Star Spirit Realm, happened to be within the range of the mirage that was about to be enveloped, but it was a little luckier than the previous three unlucky eggs, because it was far away from White Maple City, and the mirage would not spread so quickly.

However, with the reminder just now, Mu You's heart moved: if the mirage can affect the props, will it also affect the operation of the mechanical body?

The reason why living beings can survive and move in the mirage is because living things are flesh and blood, and mechanical life, although nominally called life, is essentially a pile of dead things, no different from the props that have been made, and theoretically it should also die under the mirage......

Mu You shook his head, this is a bit far away, even if the mirage does not leave, it will take a long time for the mirage to spread to the abyss, now it is better to withdraw from the abyss first.

In this way, when the world was boiling because of the arrival of the mirage season, several people in the pet store were very calm, and Mu You and the clones were doing their own things.

The clock was fast approaching evening.

【…… Chunli's eyelashes moved slightly, she opened her eyes and woke up from her sleep. 】

["System, what time is it?"] How long did I sleep? Chun-Li stretched her waist and brushed the messy hair on the top of her head in a daze. 】

"You slept for a full fourteen hours. You replied. 】

["No wonder, I'm so hungry...... system, I want to exchange for food! ”】

The first thing panda people do when they get up is to eat.

Mu You will deliver the takeaway prepared in advance to the game.

【Chun-Li's feast on the ......】

[Chun-Li ate the food on the table, rubbed her belly and showed a satisfied smile......]

["Huh? What is it? The well-fed panda girl noticed a scroll on the table. 】

["What you've always wanted, the Elven Fighting Scroll, you can learn the Elven Fighting Technique directly after tearing it open, but you need to practice diligently to master it thoroughly. ”】

This scroll was exchanged by Mu You Tuo Xiaoya in the forest elf territory, and with his current reputation, it was just a matter of words to exchange this kind of thing in the elf clan.

[Chunli picked up the scroll in surprise and just wanted to tear it open to study, but suddenly remembered something: "But I haven't saved enough points yet......]

["It's okay, this is for you, just as a parting gift. You answer. 】

"Gifts? That's great...... Wait, parting? Before Chun-Li could rejoice, she suddenly realized the problem in your words. 】

["System, are you leaving? Chun-Li said a little nervously. 】

"Yes. ”】

"Why? ”】

["You can also see that I am not the same as the robots here, and when the host wakes up and discovers my existence, it will kill me completely, and I must leave early. ”】

[Chunli was reluctant when she heard this, and wanted to open her mouth to keep it, but she couldn't find a suitable reason. 】

["The question now is, do you want to come with me? You suddenly asked. 】

"Let's go? Leaving the Garden of Eden? Chun-Li was surprised. 】

["Yes, go beyond the Garden of Eden, to the Astral Realm, which truly belongs to you. ”】

["I ......" Chunli hesitated when she heard this. 】

[After rubbing her hair and struggling with pain for a long time, Chun-Li seems to have made up her mind. 】

["I'm sorry, system, I can't go with you, although I yearn for the outside world, but I really can't leave my kindred and run away alone......"]

Mu You exhaled, Chunli's choice was not beyond his expectations, anyone who wanted to suddenly leave the environment in which he grew up and go to a strange place would hesitate. That's fine, but it's also quite chaotic outside, so maybe it's safer to stay underground.

"Before I leave, I need your help with one more thing. You speak again. 】

["What's the matter? ”】

["Take me into the dormant zone and take a look inside."] ”】

[Chunli was a little hesitant when she heard this, but thinking that this was your last request, she nodded firmly: "Okay, I'll accompany you!" ”】

Before he found an independent energy source, Mu You had to rely on Chunli to act as a humanoid power source.

Half an hour later, the two of them set off again in the dark, heading to the cyborg territory on the back of the Garden of Eden.

"Wait! "On the dark night road, you suddenly stopped Chunli. 】

["What's wrong? Chun-Li asked blankly. 】

"Go to the left and have a look...... There may be treasures! "You say. 】

When he was passing through this area just now, Mu You once again received a prompt of 'Sense of Summoning', and it seemed that there was something familiar to him nearby.

With the experience of the green hornet sting, Mu You must not let it go.

["Treasure! Chun-Li's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly put on her cloak and ran to the path on the left. 】

[Chun-Li trotted all the way, but suddenly stopped, hiding behind a tree, because a high-level patrol robot appeared in front of you, walking straight in your direction......]

["If you find a suspicious creature, stop it immediately, or the attack program will be executed!"] "The beam scanned by the patrol robot swept in your direction, raising the barrel of its right hand at you. 】

["System, didn't you say treasures? How is the patrolman ......" Chun-Li wants to cry without tears. 】

Mu You was also a little strange at this time, when he found this patrol robot just now, he even received a reminder again, and the feeling of summoning was emanating from this robot.

The question is how can the enemy make him feel called?

Mu You didn't have time to think about it at this time, the enemy was already close at hand, and Mu You had to adopt the same strategy as last time.

[You switch to the image of a transport robot, wrap Chun-Li, and drive out from behind the tree.] 】

["Confirm the target: transport robot, judge it to be a damaged and out-of-control machine, execute the command: check, retrieve ......" patrol robot announces the command and walks towards you......]

With the experience of the last time, Mu You directly did not give the other party a chance to get close this time, and immediately took the initiative to attack after the other party entered the farthest attack range of the green hornet sting.

[The cyan light and shadow flashed like lightning, hitting the front door of the robot, but in a crisp sound, it was bounced out......]

["Attacked, confirmed as an enemy, execute the attack command, and launch the alarm program......" The attacked robot instantly entered a combat stance, firing at you with the muzzle of its right hand, and at the same time, the alarm device on its chest flashed a red light and emitted a piercing buzz......]

"Huh?" Mu You was stunned.

The green bee sting is the weapon of the original battle armor, and when it also encountered the patrol robot last night, it killed with a clean blow, and it was as easy as cutting steel like cutting tofu, why did it suddenly not work today?

Has this robot on the other side been upgraded? The head is so hard!

didn't have time to think about it, the alarm had sounded at this moment, and Mu You hurriedly traced back according to the table and attacked again.

[Time passes, you attack again, this time aiming at the alarm device on the opponent's chest......]

[The green bee sting turned into a flash of blue light, easily pierced the alarm device, passed behind the opponent, and then turned back at high speed, slashing through the front of the robot's neck......]

[In the blue light, a mechanical head flew up, and the remaining mechanical body lost control, and the electric sparks splashed all over the body, and fell straight to the ground......]

[A skull rolls down not far in front of you, and the red light in your eyes is still scanning towards you......]

["Enemies are found and confirmed to be embedded lifeforms...... Upload the alarm information...... The upload failed and the smart loop was interfered with...... Warning: Overheating...... has exceeded the critical temperature......" The elongated sound was broadcast from the mouth of the robot head, and the sound became more and more deformed, until finally, in a muffled sound, the eyes, ears, mouth and nose of the robot head came out of green smoke, and the light in the eyes was extinguished, and it seemed to have died completely. 】

["System, this is ...... What's the situation? Chun-Li asked nervously. 】

Mu You was also at a loss at the moment.

After the beheading operation just now, he found that the head was still alive, and he was just about to make up for it, but the mechanical head actually short-circuited and exploded by itself.

[You come to the mechanical skull and pick up the dead head.] 】

[You find that this mechanical head seems to be covered with a special substance, and it is from this layer of material that you feel the sense of summoning ......]

[Without waiting for you to do it, this transparent substance will naturally fall off and fall into your hands. You throw away the rest of the mechanical skull, and the transparent substance in your hand comes out...... It's an angular helmet! 】

[Chameleon Mask: The mask part of the battle armor 'Chameleon' has super camouflage and concealment capabilities, and after assembly, it can shield the outside world from detection, and make the body perfectly assimilate with the surrounding environment. It has a certain degree of autonomy and is attached to an ordinary machine, which can disturb the action of the machine to a certain extent. Only the manipulation of the mechanical heart can be recognized. 】

Mu You was stunned for a moment after reading it, and hurriedly clicked on the 'chameleon' entry.

[Chameleon: One of the original armors. 】

Another part of the Origin Warframe!

No wonder even the green bee sting didn't penetrate the robot's head just now.

This suit of armor is described as having the ability to stealth, just like its name, the chameleon, which can perfectly hide itself in its surroundings. This thing had been attached to the robot's head in a transparent state before, and no one had noticed its existence for so many years, which shows how strong its concealment ability is.

What surprised Mu You even more was that this helmet actually prompted a certain 'sense of autonomy', and the head of the robot just now blew itself up, which is probably the ghost of this helmet.
