Luke looked at the whirlpool in front of him and roughly guessed that this was a portal, and it should have something to do with Pan.

There is an old saying that demolishes that, every forest does not enter.

What's more, it's a tunnel that doesn't know where it leads, and even the role of the tunnel is unknown.

But Luke is now full of craving for experience points.

He thought about it for a while, and decided to send the crow in to explore the way first.

Driven by Luke, a raven flapped its wings and rushed straight into the whirlpool.

He focused most of his attention on the crow's field of vision.

After the crow entered the whirlpool, it began to spin and jump non-stop with the flow of energy, and the whole shot was like a big brother spinning up.

After a super 36,000-degree spin, the crow was finally spit out of the whirlpool.

It is the interior of a dark, magnificent palace, and there is an aura of mystery in the dark glow.

The corridors are lined with towering stone pillars, walls inlaid with jewels that shimmer in a dark red light, and floors covered with delicate marble, each carved with delicate patterns and ornamentation.

A huge palace gate was open, and through the crack in the door, you could see a vast jungle outside, and there were small dragonfly-like animals faintly flashing through the jungle.

Inside the palace on the other side, there seemed to be some huge monster, and streams of light white air overflowed outward along the air.

The current environment is not dangerous, but the crow only has vision in its vision, and there is no way to perceive the energy in the surrounding environment.

Luke sent another crow, but this time it didn't go deeper, just after passing through the tunnel, and after landing and stopping, the crow flew straight up and tried to return from the other side of the whirlpool.

The return trip was also smooth, with Raven returning to Luke soon after another trip to the drum washing machine.

Everything looks normal.

Why don't you go and have a look?

Luke first tried to use [Shapeshift] to swap places with the crows in the palace, but perhaps because of the spatial gap, although the vision could be shared, the skill failed to activate and did not produce a trace of spatial fluctuations.

It seems that if you want to enter that secret realm, you have to go through that rotating spatial tunnel.

To enter, or not to enter, this is the question.

The security after entering seems to be a bit guaranteed at present, at least there will be no open-door plot killing.

But it's not necessarily necessary to come back, in case this passage is controlled by someone, specially set yourself up, and close it directly after you enter.

Isn't that numbness?

Luke took out the "Wanhua Mirror" again.

The last time he completed Selena's "Wanhua Mirror" mission, he did not shuttle back through the ability of the mirror, so there was also a special energy stored in the mirror.

The shuttle ability of the "Wanhua Mirror" is very high, and it is through the positioning of the thread of destiny, coupled with the concept of "mirror", to transfer space from the mirror world, and this small secret realm cannot be restrained at all.

Therefore, even if the space tunnel closes immediately after entering, Luke has the initiative to withdraw at any time.

Confirming this, he no longer hesitated, condensed an eggshell-shaped shield around him with his telekinesis, and then fell from the sky and directly entered the space tunnel.

With the protection and stability of telekinesis, coupled with the improvement of Luke's own physical fitness, this spatial rotation did not cause discomfort to Luke.

He straightened his clothes, summoned a dozen more crows, and walked towards the palace first.

After a few hundred meters down the hallway, Luke came to a slightly brighter hall.

In the center of the hall is a table full of delicious food.

On the table that can afford to eat for twenty or thirty people, there is seafood on the left, and lobster and abalone can be seen everywhere. On the right side is a row of grilled meats that are perfectly coloured and fragrant, grilled just right, and the meat is tender and juicy, making people salivate.

The hot soup pot next to it exudes a rich aroma and a variety of fresh vegetables and meats are boiled in it, which makes you feel appetizing.

In the middle of the table, facing the main seat in the hallway, a terrifying humanoid figure sat quietly.

It was completely naked, without a trace of hair, with a yellowish complexion, a human-like facial contour, but no facial features, two small blood-colored holes in what should have been its nose, and a long, horizontal slit in the mouth where it should be.

As Luke stepped into the hall, the monster was awakened, and it spread its long, bright red hands straight at the place of its eyes, and its two eyeballs opened in the center of its palms, looking at Luke.

Luke looked at it as well.

Identification.

【Descendants of Lamia】

Lamia is legendarily the lover of Zeus, and because of Hera's jealousy, she was turned into a savage monster who lived in caves and secret chambers, specializing in preying on children. Lamia falls asleep when she takes her eyes off, and when she wakes up, she puts them back on.

【Skills】

[Blood Red Gaze]: Through the gaze of her eyes, Lamia can delay the opponent's movements, causing the target to lose its sense of direction.

[Foul Odor Spray]: Lamia spits out a foul-smelling liquid through a long slit in her mouth, which is highly corrosive, capable of dealing damage to enemies and reducing their defense.

[Mind Control]: Lamia can manipulate the consciousness and behavior of others, making them her own puppets, and the controlled person will lose self-consciousness and carry out Lamia's orders.

[Illusion]: Creating false sensory information and audio-visual illusions, which can create seemingly real scenes to confuse and deceive the senses of others.

Lamia reached out and looked at Luke, as if she felt that he was past the expiration date and junk food, so she was not interested, and put her hand back on the table.

And Luke swept his mental power and found that there was something wrong with the food on the table, which looked a little illusory.

Is it the effect of [Illusion]?

He increased the output of mental power, disturbing the nearby energy field.

Soon, with the interference of his mental power, the [Illusion Technique] lost its effect, and the real scene covered by the illusion was also exposed.

The long dining table was full of young sheep slowly wriggling.

The little sheep had not even grown any hair on their bodies, their rotting skin was stacked in a clump, and they already had sharp teeth in their mouths, and they were squeezed together, and even if it was difficult to crawl, they tried their best to tear at the bodies of their fellow people.

Red and even some blackened blood flowed down the table, down a pouring design, into a large vat beside it.

It was the same hot pot that Luke had seen before with the thick soup.

Identification also gives a picture of these lambs.

【Mad Goat】(Larvae)

The bloodthirsty sheep breed born by a strange existence is naturally delicious and has the power to transmit [mad goat disease].

After a short period of activity, Lamia, as if she was a little hungry, grabbed the leg of a young lamb from the table, stuffed it directly into her mouth, and swallowed it in three or two times with a few terrible chewing sounds.

Luke looked at Lamia, this thing, eats these crazy sheep every day, and it's not crazy, so he can only say a strong word.

Just thinking about it, Lamia suddenly went a little crazy, and its right hand, which was not interested in Luke, stretched out, and the palm that was still dripping blood downwards spread out, and the eyeball in the center of the palm was aimed at Luke, emitting a faint glimmer of light.

Well?

I'm still thinking about whether to kill you to gain experience, didn't you send it yourself?

The light was not a physical attack, it had no flight time, it was instantaneous.

A cloudy spiritual force went straight from Lamia's open eyeballs into Luke's eyes, and headed towards his spiritual world.

Then with a "bang", it crashed into the ability tree.

This spiritual power instantly collapsed, decomposing into countless fragments of primordial spiritual power, which were absorbed by the Ability Tree as nutrients.

Psychic +5.

It's equivalent to four or five days of hard meditation.

Hey, send the baby boy! One more time!

It was impossible to come again, the eyeball in the center of Lamia's right palm had been tightly closed, and a line of blood and tears oozed from the corner of the eye, mixed with the dark red mad sheep flesh and blood.

The battered Lamia jerked to her feet, her left hand aimed at Luke, her eyes wide open, staring at his figure.

Luke felt a heaviness in his body, his gestures becoming as if he was pulling in glue, and his brain felt dizzy, and the balance system was out of control, as if he was about to fall at any moment.

[Defeat the enemy aircraft first] to launch.

Luke regained consciousness during the pause, and immediately activated [Shapeshift], swapping places with a raven outside the hall.

After leaving Lamia's sight, the feeling of being restrained quickly subsided.

But the poor crow, when he came to Luke's position, was first restrained, and even the swing of his wings was particularly difficult, and finally struggled to flap his wings to bring a little power, and then he recognized the wrong direction, and crashed directly into the ground, and fell to the ground.

Before it could get up, a fishy dark green liquid fell from the sky and drenched it.

The intense acidity instantly corroded the entire crow, leaving only a few remnants of white bones, indicating that there was once a life here.

Luke observed a second of silence before taking aim at the Lamia.

Dog thing, dare to kill my birds!

He reached forward, and a raven sent out a large stack of mirrors.

Luke took the mirror, and the man didn't go forward, and with his telekinesis, the mirror flew into the hall and spun around Lamia quickly.

Lamia was annoyed by the flying little things around her, reached out to grab it, and while breaking a mirror, she was also cut through the skin by the sharp edge of the mirror, and quickly put away her palm to protect her eyes.

Before he could get up and escape, the "thunder" divinity in Luke's body shone slightly, and a large amount of electric light was summoned by him from the void, and shot out from the mirror that surrounded Lamia's body along the mirror world, covering Lamia's entire body.

The burst of thunder pierced through the air, piercing Lamia's skin, carbonizing its flesh and organs, destroying its brain and nerves.

"Giggles"

With an indecipherable sound in her throat, Lamia slammed into the long table, her entire upper body falling into the flock of mad goat cubs.

The mad sheep cubs, which had been used as food, also began to gnaw at the original food chain higher, and then were pierced by the thunder remaining in the carbonized flesh of Lamia.

Looking at the bloody and disgusting scene in front of him, Luke strengthened the power of thunder and plowed the entire dining table, and the dozens of mad goat cubs on the table all stopped moving.

The ability tree learns from experience and confirms their deaths.

A new branch also grows on top of the main trunk of the Tree of Ability.

New skill - [Illusion].

Very practical skills, although the bonus to direct combat effectiveness is not obvious, but in terms of support, daily convenience, etc., it can be said that it is on par with [Confused Heart].

Of course, [Illusion] is mainly used to confuse ordinary people, for transcendentals, unless they don't observe carefully, a certain degree of transcendental people can still be like Luke, just by looking at it, they will subconsciously feel awkward, and then distinguish the true from the fake.

A Lamia descendant brings Luke less than 2% of his experience points, plus the energy he absorbed after the death of the cub just now, which is exactly 2%, which raises Luke's current experience value to 83%, and only 17% of the experience value of the ability tree can be made up.

I owe money not overnight, I am such a good person with quality.

After destroying Lamia, Luke's envoy to the ravens looked around the palace and found no other living creatures, and of course, no treasure or anything like that.

After scolding the poor ghost, Luke walked to the hallway and began to study the gems set in the walls.

I picked out two of them and studied them for a long time.

He came to a conclusion - fake!

Luke, who was scraping together money to buy a mountain, walked out of the palace with a gloomy face, the jungle outside still waiting for him to explore.

Behind him, the space tunnel was still spinning.

After leaving the palace, he walked forward a few dozen steps, and soon his vision was completely obscured by the dense jungle, but except for the fifty crows that had been induced by the [Mutated High Enriched Uranium Crystal], all the dreaded crows, including Halpier, had already flown out to help Luke find the anomalies in the jungle.

From the moment they walked out of the palace, something was wrong with the trees, their twisted and strange shapes, their trunks covered with tangled and twisted branches, and the leaves on the canopy were as black as ink. However, after Luke used the identification skill, he did not give a hint, saying that although the tree was weird, it was not a monster or anything like that.

The dirt on the ground smelled of disgusting decay, but unexpectedly fertile and abundant.

Luke lagged behind the ravens and made sure it was safe before moving forward.

After about a few minutes of exploring, the crows began to give feedback, finding some active life.

Looking through the perspective of these crows, most of the things you see are "crazy sheep", and it seems that this secret place is the origin of crazy sheep.

Luke didn't forget that in the identification results, the creation of the mad sheep was directly related to the evil god Paine, which proved that there should be Paine in this secret realm, or at least Paine's dependents.

Therefore, he did not attack those crazy sheep at the first time, but carefully avoided them, looking for the ultimate goal.

As we go deeper and deeper into the jungle and gradually approach the center of the entire secret realm, there are more and more crazy sheep around, densely packed, sheep squeezing sheep, just like the tourist attractions during the National Day holiday when there is no epidemic.

At this point, there is no way to dodge, but fortunately, I have just obtained the [Illusion] skill.

Luke directly used the [Illusion Technique] to put on a layer of lazy sheep to put on himself in the shape of a lazy sheep, the crazy sheep have little eyesight, although this kind of person looks a little strange, but in short, it is still the same kind, and there is no active attack.

Bypassing the vast number of sheep and the vast number of towering trees, Luke finally came to the center and saw a scene that amazed him-
