Chapter 56 The Six Realms of Real Illusion
Richard had seen the sea more than once, and in the deep blue he was confronted with the spectacular sight of the floating ice bay every day. But never once did he have such a strong impact on him as the vast ocean in front of him.
The sea of Huran is a deep blue, blue and almost black, as if no amount of bright light can touch the world beneath the surface of the sea. Standing on the coast mountain range overlooking the sea, the view stretches out unobstructed, and the sea and the sky merge in the place where the eye is exhausted.
The wind was biting cold, as if every breath would condense into ice slag and fall down. Even in the ice-free bays of the ice-free, the temperature is enough to freeze the sea. But the sea of Hulan was different, it was still roaring and surging, and there was not even a single ice floe in the sea.
Richard looked back and saw that his followers were all standing tall in the wind of the Fifty-Six True Illusion Six Realms of Hanzhang, but they were no longer the same as before, no matter where they were. Oral, who was the weakest, even subconsciously wrapped his clothes tightly to ward off the cold.
Out of some inexplicable fear, Richard did not allow his followers to perform magic or magic on the beach. The coast mountains at their feet looked too fragile, a dozen kilometers thick, and they were really not worth mentioning under the pressure of the sea. Moreover, since even light could not penetrate the ocean, Richard could not judge how deep the sea was beneath his feet.
The inability to freeze is only one of the characteristics of the sea, but what really makes a strong impact is the lifelessness of the vast ocean in front of you. As far as the eye could see, there was nothing but the sea, the clouds, and the howling wind. The wind on the sea can be seen, whistling past, pulling out gray-black trails, as if the artist's imagination of nature in the painting has been transformed into a physical object.
Standing at the top of the coastal embankment, hundreds of meters above the sea. At both ends of the embankment are straight and steep cliffs, as if they had been cut by a knife. Looking down from above, the waves on the surface of the sea are not very turbulent, but more like ripples with layers of white foam. However, when the sea water hits the embankment, it will erupt from time to time with a thunderous roar of Chapter 56 True Illusion Six Realms, and it will even stir up wild waves hundreds of meters high, hitting the top of the embankment!
Richard stood on the edge of the embankment, and felt a few drops of water fly up to the top of the embankment and fall on his face. The more he observed, the more disturbing details he noticed, and he didn't notice a slight change in color, such a wild wave, indicating that there was an unimaginable dark current of terror under the sea. Once any living creature is swept up in such an undercurrent, it is most likely dead or alive.
In the sea and in the sky, there is not even the faintest breath of life. The sea of Hulan is an incomparably vast, indifferent and cold world. Facing such a sea, Richard suddenly felt that he seemed to have reached the end of the world and time.
In a trance, Richard only felt that there was an emptiness around him, and it seemed that between the infinite planes, only he was left, and he was already the last life in the world.
A gray-black wind whistled across the distant sea, and a biting chill pulled Richard back to reality from his vision. Richard's whole body trembled, and he was already in a cold sweat. Such a magnificent scene itself has an indescribable powerful impact, and the more spiritually strong a person, the more severe the impact will be.
Outside of Richard, Quicksand, Io, and Nayu don't look good, and the other followers aren't much stronger, but few people can react as strongly as Richard. In the team, only Semir and Lina looked as usual, they had already experienced the impact of this kind of scene.
But when he saw Richard's wolf bèi, a strange look flashed across Sema's face.
"This sea is peculiar. Richard said with palpitations as he dispelled the power of Akmund's bloodline and dried his cold sweat.
The impact of that moment was so strong that he almost thought it was reality. And at that moment, time seems to enter some kind of strange state, as if it is stagnant, and it seems to be instantaneous for thousands of years.
If it weren't for Richard's true talent, which had been operating at a high speed, automatically dissecting a state between fantasy and reality, thus foreshadowing a strong danger and bringing Richard to his senses, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
It was not just an illusion, but a reality that existed in a form that Richard simply could not understand. The most dangerous thing in that reality is the loss of a partial sense of time. Time may pass for a thousand years, and Richard's soul is equivalent to spending a thousand years, growing old and even dying. Maybe in the moment before his demise, Richard was shocked to realize that so much time had passed!
This danger comes quietly, simply cannot be foreseen and prevented. However, looking at the situation of the other followers, it seems that they have not encountered the same danger as themselves, but only their spirits have been shocked.
Semir explained, "Lord Gordon said that the sea of this plane has some kind of strange power that will impact the spirit and even the soul of the strong. The greater the impact, the greater the potential for the future. However, as long as the will is still strong, this kind of mental shock will not cause harm, and there is nothing to worry about. ”
"No harm?" said Gordon, "Richard asked, surprised.
Semir was a little confused by Richard's reaction, and said, "Yes! That's what Lord Gordon said in the first place." Later we also used this method to test the potential of young officers. It is to bring them here and see their impact on Cheng dù. Anyone who feels uncomfortable later proves to be a person with more potential for development. ”
"Does the whole seashore of Huland have this effect?" asked Richard.
"No, so far, we've only found this on the seawalls at both ends of the rift. ”
Richard nodded, and instead of further questioning, he stared at the sea and began to ponder.
Until now, Richard didn't think Gordon would make a mistake, he said there was no problem, it should really be no problem. However, Richard was able to confirm that the danger he felt was real, and the only explanation was that the danger did not actually happen. Therefore, the others, even the quicksand of the gods, or those as strong as Gordon, did not feel the danger of vigilance.
It's like people standing on a branch of a tree sticking out of a cliff and thinking they are still standing on it. As long as the branches keep falling, there is no danger, and people don't even care about what they are stepping on when they stand steadily, but Richard is different.
Only Richard, relying on his true talent, saw through the fog and discovered that there was a branch under his feet, not the solid cliff face he had imagined. At the moment when he saw through the truth, Richard's heart was shaken, his body shook, and the branches that would not break were in danger of breaking. From this point of view, I don't know if the danger existed in the first place, or because Li sensed that there would be danger, so there was really danger.
Richard remembered how he had attained his true talent. At that time, during the initiation ceremony of the moon god Elucia, a mysterious force appeared in the ritual and gave him the natural ability of 'truth'.
There were many things that were said by the mystical power at the time, and now that I think about the gift of 'truth', that mystical power explains that it is an ability to 'see through the fog and reveal the truth'. This ability can be said to have little to do with the power that the world admires, and I don't even know if it can be regarded as a kind of power. However, at this moment, Richard vaguely felt that it was extraordinary. In contrast, the other seven enlightening talents of the moon god, including wisdom, seem to be slightly inferior to Cheng Dù. The so-called priority dù is slightly inferior, in the language of magic, that is, the law level represented is low.
Richard retracted his thoughts, nodded quietly, and said, "Nice place." Looks like all the Construct Knight candidates should be put here to test it out in the future. Okay, let's go across the rift. ”
At the northern end of the Weeping Scar is a hilly terrain undulating. It's full of stone forests and natural caves, and I don't know how the terrain was formed, so it's hard to deduce the process if you use Norland's geographical knowledge alone.
After the heavy snowfall, the ground is snow-white, and all the caves are covered under the snow, which becomes a deadly trap. If you fall into a snow pit, you don't know how deep you will sink or whether you will slide into other pits. Only soldiers above level 10 can operate in such terrain, and they also have the ability to save themselves if they fall into a snow pit by mistake.
The Weeping Scar is about a few kilometers wide, and even if you go along the coastal embankment, it is quite dangerous. The snow on the ground has long since frozen, and it has been blown smooth as a mirror by the black wind, and then a layer of snow powder is sprinkled on it, so that it is even more slippery than just ice.
The wind is sometimes strong, and suddenly a strong gust of wind blows strong enough to lift a monster stronger than a constructed mount into the sky. If the force is not strong enough, then it is very likely to slide out hundreds or even thousands of kilometers under the push of such strong winds.
Strong winds occur from time to time without warning. It didn't take him far before Richard saw that if he led an ordinary army and tried to pass through the coastal embankment of Guò, it was very likely that more than thirty or forty percent of the soldiers would be blown down into the Weeping Rift.
The bottom of the Weeping Rift looks like a rushing river, and I don't know if there are any other dangers. But since there can be such an incredibly huge undercurrent in the sea, there are probably dangerous traps at the bottom of the valley that cannot be seen. Maybe it would be a good idea to tie everyone together and use the strength of the group to resist strong winds.
But if you think about it more closely, you will know that this is definitely the worst way to go. Strong winds can be big or small, and if there is a gust of wind that can sweep thousands of people into it at once, it is tantamount to annihilating the entire army.
Even if it is a legendary powerhouse, it is difficult to pull thousands of people in the wind on its own.
The complex terrain on the northern shore of the Weeping Rift was also a natural barrier, and it was impossible for the army to pass in such weather. Therefore, the local forces of Hulan did not set up defenses here. Even if they grow in Hulan, the weather and terrain are too harsh. If there is only a team composed of the powerhouses of the Holy Realm, it can also cross the rift. But Hulan also has legendary powerhouses, so he is not afraid of the surprise attacks of a small number of strong people. q!!!
