Chapter 348: Mirage Pasture

Everyone looked at each other.

"What do you mean?" Meng Ran looked a little confused.

"There are cases." Mu Long clapped his hands, "Okay, say on the way." ”

……

On the bus

"A soul card master from Haiting?"

"That's right." Qin Yueran stood at the front of the car, holding a thermos cup in his hand, "There are some doubts about his origin, the people from the Public Security Bureau have been staring at him for more than ten years, but this person has always kept to himself, he is just traveling around, and he even usually helps his grandmother cross the road, and he has never done anything bad, so there is nothing he can do." ”

At this time, Wen Renge raised his hand and said, "Can I ask...... What are the specific suspicions in him? ”

"He comes from a family of forbidden card masters who are famous in Haiting." Mu Long took over the conversation, "You should know that outside of the Yan Country, many countries have ambiguous attitudes towards card bans, as long as they are not too high-profile and too excessive, some ordinary banned cards can be allowed to exist and even develop." ”

Hearing this, Meng Ran's eyes couldn't help but widen: "He's a forbidden card master?" ”

"If it were, then I wouldn't have to wait so long." Mu Long shook his head, "When he first entered the Yan Kingdom, he would be arrested directly." It's a pity that this person's strength is very innocent, and the documents are all compliant, so the Public Security Bureau can only observe - anyway, if he doesn't commit a crime, we can't just drive people away. ”

Yu Cang opened his mouth at this time and asked, "Then why this time?" ”

"Naturally, this guy is showing a little strangeness-" Qin Yueran said, "Since yesterday, he has suddenly searched near Mudu University as if he sensed something, and after the observation of the Public Security Bureau, the target he wants to find should be among you." ”

Meng Ran pointed at himself: "We? ”

"To be precise, it should be someone from our Ancient Capital Combat Society—after all, his strangeness only came about after we arrived in Mudu."

"But who of us can be targeted by foreign card banters?" Lu Zihe frowned.

The air was quiet for a while, everyone was thinking, and the two teachers did not speak.

Suddenly—not a few seconds.

All the people in the Ancient Capital University Battle Club turned their heads in unison and looked at Yu Cang.

Yu Cang: "......"

Another second passed.

All the people in the Mudu University Battle Club also looked at Yu Cang as if they had been rehearsed, their eyes widened, and they turned their heads to look at Yu Cang.

Yu Cang: "......"

"Ahem." Gu Jieshuang, who was sitting next to Yu Cang, coughed lightly and forcibly suppressed the urge to turn his head to look at him.

Yu Cang rolled his eyes: "I said, I was a little kid more than ten years ago, is it worth coming all the way to Yanguo?" ”

"Who knows." Meng Ran's expression was serious, "In case that guy is a spy of Haiting, he really didn't have any purpose, but a few days ago, he suddenly received a mission to assassinate you...... Quite possibly! ”

Yu Cang Yile: "Hey, then he is waiting for me in Mudu?" I didn't even know I was coming to Mudu. ”

"Meng Ran has a point." Mu Long interjected at this time, "Now we don't know his true purpose, so we must take precautions in all aspects - of course, others should not be taken lightly, maybe he is coming for you." ”

Wen Renge nodded: "So...... Our task today is to cooperate with the Public Security Bureau to lure the snake out of the hole? ”

"That's right." Qin Yueran nodded, "That person hasn't done anything yet, even if the Public Security Bureau directly arrests him, he won't be able to interrogate anything, so he must find out his true purpose." Later, we will go to an open secret realm, and today's exchange project will become a secret exploration, and in the process, if that person really has any intentions, it will definitely be exposed. ”

Mu Long: "That person's name is Bane, he is a sixth-level soul card master, and his ultimate combat power is unknown. Try not to resist after encountering it, and you can make some temptations on the premise of keeping yourself safe.

"But you don't have to worry, this operation, the military will have someone to come to support, although it will not be too close because of the secrecy, but once there is danger, the reinforcements will not take more than a minute to arrive at the battlefield."

Hearing this, everyone's faces became serious and nodded in unison.

There is no doubt that this operation will be accompanied by life-threatening time, a minute of time, short or long, once Bane has murderous intent, they will most likely not be able to survive this time.

However, no one questioned or quit, and the two teachers were not surprised.

Again, the Soul Card Master University will not go to great lengths to cultivate a powerful Soul Card Master, but let it go to the people.

As long as they successfully graduate, they will basically join the association, and those who do not graduate successfully can only work in some enterprises licensed by the association.

When the association needs the cooperation of students, basically no students will refuse - originally, these things are most likely to be done by them in the future.

In fact, there are not a few students who die in the line of duty before graduating.

However, such extreme situations are still a minority, and most of the work that requires the cooperation of students is not too dangerous.

Just like this time, just look at the relaxed looks of the two teachers, you can know that the difficulty of this mission will not be high.

On the one hand, after more than ten years of observation by the Public Security Bureau, Bane's strength has basically been figured out, and one minute of support time does not mean that it can be reached in one minute - this number is already a conservative estimate, and the reality will only be shorter.

What's more, the most important thing is that there is Yu Cang in this team.

With the importance of the association, Qin Yueran dared to guarantee that in the places they didn't know, all kinds of security measures were definitely layer by layer, and it was impossible for Yu Cang to have a little accident.

……

Mirage Pasture

This is a well-known secret place near Mudu.

The secret realm itself is a vast grassland, it is said that thousands of years ago, there was a powerful mirage dragon that lived here, shepherding and eating here, and then the wild beast swept away, and the mirage disappeared, leaving only the food of the original mirage, and his unreasonable magic power.

Of course, without the mirage, the power here has also become rootless water, and sooner or later it will be dissipated, and if there is an external force interfering, then the time of dissipation will be even earlier.

However, because it is very beneficial for the soul card master to take risks in it, and the rhythm in it is also very useful, after the establishment of the Yan Kingdom, the association spent a lot of effort to control the environment here, and it was not open to the public until it was confirmed that it was safe and stable.

The bus stopped at a post station, and everyone got off in turn.

The fresh breath came to the face, the vast grassland unfolded in front of them, and in an instant, everyone in the ancient capital had a feeling of being opened.

This is an open secret realm, so there are also many soul card masters and card makers around who have already formed their own teams and are ready to enter it to explore.

However, their team is not very large, and a maximum of four people is already at the end - in the illusion, the more people there are, the safer it is.

"Mirage Pasture." Yu Cang looked at the seemingly empty grassland ahead.

This place is actually similar to the "mirror maze", the power of illusion divides the space here into countless spaces like a mirror, and when you look out from each space, you can only see the endless vast grassland, but in fact, it is quite lively.

Mirages like to eat swallows, and a powerful mirage with such a vast territory as the one in front of them naturally eats no ordinary delphinium.

According to historical records, when the mirage dragon came here, it brought a lot of "sea diamond swifts", and the mirage used illusions to block the flight ability of these swifts, so that they could never fly away, and could only stay on land for the rest of their lives, and the ground was shrouded by the mirage's illusion, so it can be said that there is no door to the sky, no way to enter the ground, and can only be obediently eaten by the mirage one by one.

After the mirage disappeared, these sea diamond swifts naturally couldn't escape the infection of the wilderness, and the power of the wilderness completely integrated the illusion that sealed their flight ability with this race, making the sea diamond swifts, the spirit beast race here, become a wild beast that can only trek on the ground.

In front of you, don't look at the emptiness of the place, but as long as you take a step further, you will fall directly into the illusion.

Here, two people walk side by side, and even if only one of them stops a step, it is possible to enter a different fantasy space.

"The goal of this trial is to pass through the Mirage Pasture." Mu Long grinned and said with a smile, "There are still two hours, and it will be dark." You won't be able to get out today, so get ready to spend the night in the Mirage Plain. ”

Qin Yueran: "Teacher Mu and I will wait for you at the other end of the Mirage Muyuan, and if you don't come out tomorrow night, you will be considered a failure." Of course, this time after all, it is two combat clubs together, and it must be a little competitive, and I can't control it over there, but if you come out slowly, then don't think about eating meat in tomorrow night's food. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the ancient capital couldn't help but change color.

Playing so big?

And Mu Long saw that Qin Yueran's words had already come out, so he was naturally not willing to lag behind: "Teacher Qin has said so, we naturally can't fall behind-little cubs, you grew up in the pastoral capital, if you crack your own secret realm, the time will not be as good as the ancient capital of others...... Don't say late, for the next week, I'll be a vegetarian obediently! ”

At this time, everyone in the pastoral capital who was watching the play also looked solemn.

Holy, play really?

Now I had to win.

A week...... It's so hard!

"By the way, you all have this equipment." Qin Yueran took out a bracelet, "This is the 'Illusion Fixation Instrument', as long as you wear the matching Illusion Fixation Instrument, you can confirm each other's locations in the environment, since you are going to spend the night in it, you must team up, otherwise no one will know if you are stolen at night." ”

Yu Cang nodded, and his heart was clear.

This is a kind of soul energy device, which is actually a kind of totem.

It's quite practical, and with this, you don't have to worry about getting lost in the mirage with your teammates - at the same time, the purpose of coming out this time is to lure the snake out of the hole after all, and if you don't team up, it's still too dangerous.

Everyone received the illusion apparatus from the teacher's hand in turn.

Most of the teams are two-person teams, and there are also three-person teams, and Yu Cang's teammates are naturally Gu Jieshuang and chess.

He can't take anyone else with him.

During the winter vacation, Yu Cang chatted with Gu Jieshuang every day, and naturally knew what a tragic special training she had undergone, so Yu Cang was quite confident in her current strength.

Needless to say, the chess pieces - in fact, with the chess by his side, if Yu Cang met that Bane...... He can only be considered unlucky.

Don't forget, girls are capable too...... Although it's useless against wild beasts, when you encounter a soul card master, you're basically invincible.

Draw soul energy directly from your brain, grab your spell card to use, how do you fight?

Bane was only level six, and if the chess really wanted to plunder the soul energy, it would be difficult for him to resist.

"Alright."

After sending all the illusion fixing instruments, Qin Yueran unscrewed the thermos cup, drank a sip of water, and then said:

"Then I'll see you tomorrow—don't get lost, and I'll go in and get you."

……

Yu Cang took the hands of Qi'er and Gu Jieshuang and walked into the mirage pasture.

Hand in hand, this is the surest way to prevent separation.

After all, it was the first time for him to enter such a secret realm, and he still needed to get used to it first, otherwise, even if he had an illusion fixing instrument, he would inevitably be embarrassed for a while.

The crisp sound as if the ice surface was shattering sounded in his ears, Yu Cang took a step, and the people around him suddenly disappeared, and even some noisy sounds were still for a moment,

In the entire grassland, only the three of them remained.

Looking back, the post station behind him also disappeared.

Yu Cang took the hands of the two of them and took a step back tentatively, and suddenly, the sound of the ice breaking came from his ears again, but the post station did not appear again - they came to another environmental space.

"Can't you go back the way you came?" Yu Cang sighed.

If you encounter such a secret place in the wild, it is really desperate enough.

But fortunately, there is no mortal desperation in this secret realm now, and even if you are really trapped in it, the association has a corresponding plan to fish you out.

Looking up, there was also a vision in the air.

Countless transparent crystalline solids loom in the air, like absolutely clean ice suspended in absolutely clear water, and like a mirror that is not stained with dust, occasionally, when the angle and light are right, Yu Cang can see his reflection in it.

But most of the time, those ice-like mirror-like structures are fluttering, and you can't see them realistically, and you can't touch them.

Those are probably the embodiment of uncontrolled illusion energy, which occasionally overflows.

Looking up again, Yu Cang saw the sun.

"As long as you keep walking in the direction of the setting sun, you can get out of the illusion and reach Teacher Qin." Gu Xie Shuang said.

"yes...... But it's not that simple. Yu Cang's eyes narrowed slightly.

If he remembers correctly...... When he entered another illusion space from the illusion space just now, the position of the sun changed.

The sun he sees now may not be the real sun.

Where the real direction is, we need to discern it carefully.

Yu Cang lowered his head and looked at his wrist.

On the illusion meter, there is a small, compass-like dial, but it does not indicate the direction, and there are two hands, one pointing to Gu Jieshuang and the other pointing to the chess.

That's all it has...... However, what is now in their hands must be a special version, which has a function that can confirm their location, allowing people in the military to confirm their location at any time. When necessary, you can also have some simple communication with the outside world.

"So what are we going to do?" Gu Jieshuang asked.

"There's no hurry." Yu Cang shook his head, "It's almost dark today, and for the rest of the time, let's find a place to spend the night first." ”

Thanks for the tip!
