1314 Grotto 2
Time is originally a higher-order energy.
And the speed of time flow can only be perceived by wizards who have been in contact with it at the first time.
It's an experience, a special phenomenon that you will remember after you have experienced it.
The reasons for its formation are varied, but the forms of expression are not complex and obscure, but the consequences of the flow of time are extremely terrible.
The green smoke that gathered in front of him and did not disperse, but Raymond was still very puzzled after judging that entering it would cause the time flow rate to increase.
Because although there are many reasons for the change in the flow of time, it is rare to see such a clear change in such a small area.
In addition to the natural generation of plane passages and plane gaps, if this green smoke is set up here by a wizard for protection, then this person's strength is a little difficult to judge.
The only thing that can be determined is that the wizard who can seal this kind of green smoke with the speed of time within that fence must have a control over the attribute of time that ordinary people do not have.
But since he had finally come here, he was unwilling to return now, so after thinking for a while, Raymond released two earth puppets at the same time, causing them to enter the green smoke at the same time.
Qingyan, which could only wrap one earth-based golem, suddenly expanded outward at the same time as the two earth-based golems entered, and it happened that the two earth-based golems could be covered by the green smoke, and then regained their calm.
The earth puppet that had been cut off from the induction stood motionless in the green smoke. However, the color of its body surface changes rapidly.
And Raymond, who had a red glow shining in his eyes, waited patiently under the accurate timing of the chip.
One left and one right stood as an earth-based puppet in the green smoke. The extremely low strength on the left side showed signs of cracking on the surface of the body when it was less than half an hourglass, and then collapsed from the outside to the inside into basic energy particles, dissipating in the green smoke.
The green smoke that had expanded outward before, but with the dissipation of the earth puppet, it surged towards another earth puppet, only to see that the earth puppet on the right quickly showed signs of collapse, just like the concentration of the green smoke determines the time flow rate in it, and this earth puppet could have held on for a little longer. Just hold on to less than half an hourglass, and then it will collapse and dissipate.
Raymond, who had witnessed the whole process, made his perception carefully avoid the green smoke. After checking the ambient free energy concentration, the data is handed over to the chip for interpretation.
Time passed slowly, and Raymond, who was standing on the stone steps, breathed a sigh of relief after the chip came to a conclusion.
Although the three earth puppets in the front and back all quickly collapsed and dissipated under the cover of green smoke. However, the increase in soil energy in the surrounding environment. But it is not much different from the energy required for the three earth puppets to be condensed.
And the examination of Raymond's own vitality and energy in his body also showed that although the time he had missed when he fell into that illusion was not short, the loss of his own vitality was not serious.
Obviously, although this gathering and undispersed green smoke has the effect of accelerating the passage of time and hallucinating, the green smoke itself will not gradually grow because of this ability!
In this case, the green smoke blocking the fence only needs to be avoided.
It's just that perception can't touch it, and any substance containing energy can't touch it, but it also gives Raymond a little headache.
for the green smoke that dwells in front of the fence. It was actually completely obscured by the blocking force field behind it, and even if Raymond's body was energized, it could not guarantee that he would bypass it without touching the green smoke.
I thought about it for a long time. In the end, Raymond decided to use the safest method, so he summoned the one-eyed sandman Shariman back, and after telling him about the situation here, he released more than a dozen earth puppets, making them hold hands and arrange them in order of containing energy from low to high, and then made the earth puppet with the smallest volume and the lowest energy contained in it, and stepped into the green smoke.
The green smoke entrenched in front of the fence enveloped the first earth golem and continued to expand, eventually enveloping all the golems clinging to the left side of the passage.
Raymond, who was standing on the side and waiting patiently, couldn't help but pull a smile at the corner of his mouth when he saw the green smoke move towards the first earth puppet after it collapsed, and his figure flickered to the fence.
The green smoke moved upwards, revealing a gap in the severed fence, and when the third earth golem collapsed, the gradually moving green smoke gave way to the fence completely, allowing Raymond to step into it with ease.
Ordered Shariman to guide the green smoke to continue his upward journey in this way, and Raymond broke through the barrier behind the fence and entered it.
The long, narrow and winding passage was tens of meters long, and when Raymond reached the corner at the end, the space in front of him made his eyes shrink.
Because at the end of the passage, there was an extremely large grotto, and the inverted stalactites at the top, separated from the thin mist up and down, and the cold pool surrounded by ice mounds below, were exactly what he had seen in the previous environment!
Raymond, who did not release his perception for inspection, faced the stone platform in front of him, which was only three meters long, and held an extremely long long-handled axe in his hand with a thought, and then he carefully began to check forward.
But unlike the warning signs that had been in his mind before, whether it was the temptation of the long axe or the steps he took forward, this stone platform was nothing abnormal, and it was the exact opposite of what he had seen in the illusion before.
Raymond, who didn't understand the reason, couldn't help but be more careful.
The Wind Golem he unleashed became his tool to explore the grotto.
The stalactites at the top, as dense as a forest of guns, are unusual.
The hard walls of the grotto, under the inspection of the wind puppets, were also unusual.
The ice fog that separates the entire grotto from top to bottom is also unusual.
And in the end, when the wind puppet landed on top of the cold pool, Raymond found that the induction between the puppet and him became a little difficult, and the temperature around the cold pool was also a little low and terrifying.
Because of the extreme cold, the speed of the wind golem has become slow.
But Raymond still controlled the wind puppet to check the bottom of the entire cold pool, and after confirming that there were no other exits and no abnormalities in the entire grotto, he slowly descended to the side of the cold pool.
The ice mound that surrounded the cold pool, after being cut horizontally by him, actually saw the frozen marks in it like tree rings.
Obviously, the ice mounds surrounding this cold pool were not frozen all at once, but were frozen very slowly, causing them to appear like this inside.
Perceptual probing, detection of ambient energy concentrations, and spectral analysis initiated by the chip allowed Raymond to get the data he needed after half an hourglass.
The temperature above and below this grotto has a very clear dividing line, and the area with the lowest temperature is naturally the deep cold pool with continuous ice mist.
The surface temperature of the seemingly calm cold pool is as low as minus 100 degrees, and the detection of the ice water in the cold pool shows that the water in this pool is not abnormal except for the extremely low temperature.
But!
In the natural environment, how can there be liquid water at minus 100 degrees!
More and more, he felt that there was an abnormal Raymond in this cold pool, and fell into deep thought.
This kind of low temperature is not a problem for him.
But the grotto, where he was the only one who entered, was obviously not a completely enclosed environment.
However, if no other exit can be found, it is obvious that there must be other exits within this cold pool.
However, what kind of risks are contained in this bottomless cold pool, which is beyond Raymond's control and cannot guess.
From a rational point of view, he knew that he should quickly turn back and get out of here.
However, the information about the ghost plane, at present, he only knows that the strange old dean of the Tallister and the Red Wetland Wizarding Academy is aware of, and the several resources that are extremely important to Krystal are only produced in the ghost plane.
The interference of the illusion, the green smoke that accelerates the flow of time, and the extremely cold pool of water, all of which indicate that this place is not simple, but whether to give up or believe the information revealed by the previous Ling Mines to continue to probe, Raymond, who was in deep thought, couldn't help but hesitate a little......
