The first to react was the Shadow Wolf.

At the moment when the robots began to retreat into the air, the shadow wolf jumped up and rushed into the crowd of robots, stepping on the wind and climbing high, and at the same time, kicking the robots back to the ground.

At the same time, Mu You's divine skin was also volleyed in the air again, and he grabbed a handful of robots with both hands, and threw them down.

And the players below also reacted at this time, slashing at the robots falling from the sky.

The current battle is completely different from before, and players don't have to worry about the resurrection of these robots, just break through their air shields and let the mirage leak in, and you're done.

was suppressed all the way, and at this time it was finally possible to fight back, and the players were extremely enthusiastic one by one, throwing all kinds of housekeeping skills at the robot without money, and dozens of robots became 'jade stone carvings' one after another.

At the same time, the octopus king and the bone dragon, who had been guarding the base, also got Mu You's order, and the bone dragon flew directly into the sky, the dragon tail dragon claws flicked, and a large number of robots were slapped and flew to the ground.

The Octopus King is even simpler, there is no need to jump, with his huge size and slender tentacles, he can easily catch these escaped robots by simply stretching out his tentacles.

The octopus king's claws move in unison, and one after another the robots rain down, and they all land accurately near the player.

The players who had already prepared below immediately rushed up, violently tearing open the air shield on the robot, and when the robot was petrified, they immediately rushed to the next location......

This one-sided massacre lasted nearly five minutes.

In the end, except for a very few robots who were lucky, more than ninety percent of the robots were left behind in Sky City.

The players were still not satisfied, and the players with the ability to fly continued to chase outward, intercepting the robots along the way, until they reached the edge of the mirage diffusion, and intercepted dozens of robots.

"Okay, poor Kou Mo chase."

Mu You hovered in front of the mirage dividing line, and stopped a few excited players who were still about to continue the pursuit.

At this moment, there were only more than forty mechs left outside the mirage, but they did not flee again, but wandered around the mirage boundary, always keeping a certain distance from the mirage.

A group of players are also interested, these robots dare to stop, they must have no fear, it seems that as long as they leave the mirage, they have no choice but to follow Mu You back.

After returning to Sky City, Mu You immediately contacted the other city lords through Sky City's communication system and informed them of the situation in the mirage.

"No problem, let's fly over."

"Mirage can really paralyze a robot! That being said, as long as you enter the mirage range, you are safe. ”

"Haha, I'll just say, how can these guys not have weaknesses......"

"I'm running away in the direction of the mirage, there are thousands of mecha chasing soldiers hanging behind me, and when I get there, I'll see how I pit them......"

"I can't believe that mirage has become our protective ......"

……

The city lords were either surprised or emotional, and their subordinates were not slow, and they all controlled the city to turn to the direction of White Maple City.

At present, Dawn City is safe for the time being, Mu You arranged some manpower to defend, and others teleported to other Sky Cities through the teleportation array to help defend.

Whenever a city is about to enter the mirage range, Mu You will lead people to ambush near the mirage, and as soon as the robots get close to the mirage, they will immediately come out and intercept those robots who want to escape, leaving them in the mirage as much as possible.

However, after playing like this once or twice, these robots also learned a lesson, and whenever they chased and killed close to mirage, they immediately stopped and fled directly, not giving them a chance to intercept and kill, and the interception team returned several times in vain.

In the midst of chasing and escaping, a few hours later, as the last Starlight City also entered the mirage range, the remaining ten Sky Cities except Twilight City all converged in the mirage.

"Let's do the math, how many robots have been captured so far?"

Several city lords met in Dawn City, and Mu You asked.

These robots are not actually dead, but they are temporarily paralyzed by the mirage, and if they are sent out of the mirage range, they will all be resurrected in place when the mirage dissipates.

So I can't say how many robots I killed, only prisoners.

"Six hundred and fifty-two ...... on my side"

"Four Hundred and Three ...... in Sunrise City"

"Seven hundred and sixty-eight ...... in the city of the rising sun"

……

Everyone reported their own Sky City's achievements, and the last count showed that a total of more than 5,700 robots had been captured!

However, Mu You knew that this seemingly huge number was actually only a small part of the 'exterminators' produced by the robots, and more exterminators had not yet appeared.

"And what's next?" Solomon asked.

Now Sky City is temporarily safe, but keeping Sky City is only the first step, they can't stay in the mirage forever, they always have to find a way to fight out.

Mu You looks at the child.

The Son of Heaven nodded and announced a piece of information.

"The news just sent by the front-line personnel is that the three warships of the robots are currently staying in a place called 'Rainbow City', which is the border where the mirage is currently spreading to the great abyss, and the three mechanical warships have started a big war with the mirage creatures here, temporarily bringing the spread of the mirage to a standstill......"

The Son of Heaven explained, pointing to a marked point on the map.

The mirage does not leak in from the Brave Tower, it can continue to spread around, the natural diffusion of the mirage has a range, beyond this range, there must be the activity of the mirage creatures, to ensure that the nearby mirage concentration is greater than a critical value, in order to continue to expand towards the periphery, otherwise the expansion of the mirage will stagnate or even shrink.

This is because the essence of the mirage is a mirage perception system, the mirage can perceive the space within a certain range around the body, and beyond this range, the mirage creature must be used as a 'detector' to continue to spread outward, so that the mirage can gain more area of vision.

Of course, there are limits to this expansion.

The perception range of the mirage tapir body is probably from the teleportation point at the bottom of the lake in the real world, all the way to the entrance of the server, and then to the periphery of White Maple City to the Star Spirit Realm, which is the limit.

And on this basis, the mirage creatures can continue to expand the mirage's influence range by about double, that is, a circular area with White Maple City as the center and about one-third of the area of the entire Star Spirit Realm.

Beyond this circular area, no matter how hard the mirage creatures tried, they could no longer maintain the concentration of the mirage.

This is also why the Lamp God said that the mirage will only affect a third of the area of the Star Spirit Realm at most, and once it exceeds this range, even if the mirage is forcibly transported out, it will quickly and naturally dissipate.

Now, the robot's strategy is clear: since the mirage depends on the mirage creatures' activity at the edge of the mirage to expand, it is only necessary to snipe the mirage creatures on the way, blocking their way forward, and stopping the mirage's expansion in this direction.

Even as the mirage creatures retreated, they could make the edge of the mirage continue to retreat until it retreated into White Maple City.

After that, he found a way to block the leak of the Tower of the Brave, and he was done, and successfully intercepted the mirage outside the Star Spirit Realm.

"The location of Rainbow City is just located at the midpoint of the connection between White Maple City and the Great Abyss, and the robots want to start from here and knock the mirage back step by step, so we will go here to support and help the mirage creatures resist the robots, so that the mirage boundary will continue to expand towards the Great Abyss!" Mu lobbied.

Their strategy is also very simple, that is, to let the mirage cover all the way to the great abyss, and then use the cover of the mirage to break down the defense line of the robots step by step, until the mirage penetrates into the Garden of Eden, and then find a way to break through their lair.

After deciding on the course of action, everyone immediately went back and set off in their respective cities.

Ten Sky Cities, connected in a straight line in the air, flew straight in the direction of Rainbow City.

This rush took more than ten hours.

The next morning, before arriving at Rainbow City, many people's 'closing' time was approaching, and they had to leave the Star Spirit Realm temporarily.

However, there are now more than 2,000 discovered doors on Earth, each of which opens at a different time, and is almost evenly distributed within a ten-day cycle.

Therefore, theoretically, a group of new players can come to the Astral Spirit Realm every day to support, as long as the rotation is reasonably arranged, there is no need to worry about the problem of insufficient manpower.

In addition, there is another problem, which is the problem of falling asleep regularly in the mirage.

Creatures in the mirage must be forced to fall asleep every once in a while, which is an unexempt rule, as long as they are in the mirage, even real divine beasts such as bone dragons and manticore lions have to suffer such side effects.

Fortunately, everyone has figured out the rules of mirage in advance, brushed the nightmare powder early, everyone falls asleep in shifts, and the minimum time limit for falling asleep is two hours, and they can be 'woken' up by their teammates for the first time, so that they can stay awake for most of the day, and the impact is almost negligible.

"Now that the situation has settled down, let's go first."

In the early morning, the watchman dragged the sleepy-eyed Linglong to say goodbye to Mu You.

They will next travel to the Fatimid Empire to continue their quest to complete the Cult of Mysticism.

The next scuffle is not something that can be changed by the two of them, and it won't help much if they continue to stay, so it's better to continue to do what needs to be done.

Today, half of the Fatimid Empire has been shrouded in mirage, including the imperial capital where the Mystic Church is located, this sudden natural disaster, you don't need to think about it, there must be a big chaos in the imperial capital at this moment, and it is in a stage of panic, it is a good time to make trouble.

Linglong, who was forcibly dragged over, yawned: "Well, I knew that I wouldn't return to Earth in the first place, and I had to toss and turn on both sides......"

"Hehe, the game is constrained, and many operations can't be realized, but now that we're here, we can finally let go."

The watchman looked at Mu You eagerly, hooked his index finger and said, "I have already thought of nine ways to fool that priest, nine ways!" They are ......"

"Okay, okay, don't tell me, you can do it yourself!" Mu You hurriedly stopped, if he really wanted to make him start, he had to talk nonsense for a while.

After seeing the two clones leave, Mu You saw that the situation was quite stable at the moment, so he told the medicine picker to help guard Dawn City, and he took the time to teleport to the abyss.

[You appeared near the 'Great Abyss of Lochmadi'......]

With the hint that appeared in his mind, Mu You appeared in a jungle.

After taking a bottle of invisibility potion, Mu You flew directly into the air on a broom and looked down.

At this moment, the great abyss is still shrouded in a layer of clouds and mist, like a huge mouth open on the earth, choosing people to devour.

The difference is that at this moment, around the periphery of the abyss, a huge deep cave with long strips appeared on the left and right, and the whole presented the outline of a 'ship'.

The four deep caves joined together, causing the entire surface of the abyss to sink hundreds of meters into a basin.

Mu You estimated that this should be the traces left by those steel battleships. These ships had been hiding underground around the abyss until yesterday, when they were summoned by the mechs.

But what made Mu You strange was that there were only three warships found? How are there four pits here?

Could it be ...... And one didn't show up?

Mu You searched around, but found no trace of the existence of other warships, but when he approached the surface of the abyss, he suddenly had a subtle sense of unreality.

Mu You couldn't help but stay in the sky directly above the abyss, looking at the abyss scene below.

At first glance, it looks exactly the same as when he came before, it is all cloudy, bottomless, and he can't find any flaws.

But under the influence of many top 3A masterpieces on the earth, at this moment, Mu You suddenly had a sense of watching game CG.

Mu You frowned and tried to fly down.

"Boom!"

When he was about to approach the surface of the abyss, Mu You suddenly felt that he had hit an invisible wall, and the stealth effect disappeared suddenly, and he was forced to break out.

At this time, Mu You finally saw what was under him: it was actually a transparent barrier, composed of countless hexagons, like an inverted bowl, covering the surface of the hole in the abyss......

Mu You suddenly understood, no wonder it felt unnatural, the picture of the abyss was actually just a projected illusion, but because it was too realistic, it was difficult to distinguish between fiction and reality.

But that's not the point, the focus at this point is what's inside the barrier.

Underneath this invisible barrier, a huge steel battleship was moored above the entrance of the abyss, relying on its huge size, it was like a stone slab in a cellar, directly covering the entrance of the entire abyss.

"Invisible units have been found, and their identities have been determined as: Fool! Hazard Assessment: High Hazard. Execute commands: clear, erase, expel ”

With the sound of an announcement, dense robots suddenly crawled out from all over the battleship and swarmed towards Mu You.

At the same time, the surface of the battleship was facing the side of Mu You, like honeycomb coal, revealing countless cannon muzzles, and white light gathered one after another.

The surging energy was quickly condensed, and thousands of artillery pieces launched a familiar covering saturation strike towards Mu You's position.

"Damn!"

Mu You's eyelids jumped, and he hurriedly backtracked, and then without thinking about it, he decisively turned the broom and walked directly away from the surface of the abyss.

Fortunately, he withdrew in time and did not touch the surface of the barrier, and it was not exposed for the time being.

Hiding in the forest in the distance, Mu You looked at the mouth of the abyss in front of him, but he couldn't help frowning.

Originally, he thought that these robots were pouring out of the nest, and the army was gathering on the front line, so the nest was said to be empty, and if he had the opportunity, he might be able to try to steal a wave of homes or something.

It's a pity that it turns out that he thinks too much, these robots are very meticulous, and they do not neglect the protection of their hometown, and directly arrange a warship to stay here.

And he did it even more than he imagined: he actually directly 'covered' the surface of the abyss with a battleship, and simply blocked the path of outside creatures to the abyss.
