Chapter 7: Into the Illusion
At the same time, Wang Lung felt a flower in front of him, and the environment in which he was located had returned to the surface of the moon from the abandoned mine, and there was no longer an evil eye toad in front of him, but three living people standing, all three of whom he knew, two of them were Xue Jiao and Qing'er whom he thought about day and night, and the other was the old ghost who raised him.
"Why are you, the two brothers?" Wang Lung looked at the three old ghosts suspiciously, and was surprised in his heart, the first brother and the two had said that when he passed the checkpoint set by the elder Taishang, he would wait for him at the exit, but now the two brothers are not there, but the person who came is his closest person.
In this way, even if he succeeds in breaking through the level, is it too simple or too child's play? Wang Lung can't figure it out or even understand, but he won't care too much, now his dearest relatives are in front of him, and the answer can be known from the other party's mouth.
"You've passed, come with us. The old ghost did not answer Wang Lung's question directly, but said coldly.
"Let's go?" Wang Long's heart was full of doubts, he knew where the other party was going, but the tone of the old ghost's speech made him feel very uncomfortable, not only the old ghost, but even Xue Jiao and Qing'er were the same, they didn't see their joy at all, his expression was very cold, like a stranger, from this point alone, Wang Lung felt wrong, there must be something wrong with it.
After the old ghost finished speaking, he didn't wait for Wang Lung to react, and turned around and left with Xue Jiao and Qing'er, like a cold machine, without showing any emotion from the beginning.
Looking at the backs of the three of them, Wang Long's eyes showed a cold chill, he was not stupid, he knew that this qiē was not true at all, nine times out of ten he had already fallen into the illusion released by the red evil eye toad, he did not hate his carelessness. It is hated that the red evil-eyed toad teases him with his closest relatives, which is not allowed.
"Don't rush to leave, I have a question for you. Wang Lung suddenly said coldly at the backs of the three of them.
The old ghost and the others looked back at Wang Lung in disgust and asked, "If there is any problem, let's talk about it later, leave here with us first." ”
"Leave?" Wang Lung snorted coldly and said, "If I really go with you, I'm afraid that there will be no return, and a mere illusion will want to trap me." You just underestimate me?"
The old ghost was stunned and said: "What nonsense? What kind of illusion? You have passed the guò test, you know very well where this is, you have passed the guò test, follow me to see the Taishang Elder, if there is any problem, you will understand after meeting the Taishang Elder." ”
While the old ghost spoke, he stepped forward and was about to grab Wang Lung's arm, Wang Lung sneered when he saw this, and waved his right hand. After getting rid of the old ghost's entanglement, his body retreated a distance, and said coldly: "Why do you want to act again?" Although you can conjure up the appearance of the old ghost, Qing'er and Xue Jiao, but your demeanor betrays you, the real Qing'er and Xue Jiao are naturally not like this." ”
"Hmph!" A cold snort came into Wang Lung's ears, and then a long laugh came out of the old ghost's mouth: "Little guy, even if you know that this is an illusion, with your cultivation, can you still leave here?"
Words to the end. The voice became a little mixed and harsh, and it was clearly not the accent of an old ghost. And as soon as the other party's words were finished, Xue Jiao and Qing'er, who were originally standing side by side with the 'old ghost', suddenly turned into a puff of smoke and disappeared, and at the same time that the smoke slowly rose into the air, its form was the gray and blue evil-eyed toad that Wang Lung had killed.
When the smoke dissipated, only the old ghost was left standing opposite Wang Lung, and the other party did not reveal his original form. Still in the appearance of an old ghost, Wang Lung couldn't help frowning when he saw this, and his heart was really bitter.
Falling into illusion was the last thing he wanted to see, and he remembered the description in the books clearly. The illusion released by the evil eye toad is not easy to break even for cultivators of the same level of Saint Source System, if you want to break it, you must have a certain foundation in the formation, otherwise you can't find the weakness of the illusion at all, with Wang Long's understanding of the formation, it is like a mouse pulling a turtle and has no way to speak.
Although in the battle with the Evil Eye Toad, he also found some things that were not recorded in the classics, but the descriptions in the classics were basically correct, which was also the reason why Wang Lung was afraid of the Evil Eye Toad's illusion attack, and at this time he understood that the three Evil Eye Toads had no intention of fighting in groups from the beginning, and they fought him one after another, nothing more than to give the Red Evil Eye Toad a chance to perform illusions.
Wang Lung knows that he has been fooled, this is not wronged at all, if this is not a trial, but a real fight, he doesn't even have the courage to face the blue and red evil eye toad, the cultivation of the red evil eye toad has reached the stage of turning into a god, even if the cultivation is suppressed again, with the experience of the other party is not something he can compete with at all, a little means can kill him, the red evil eye toad stands still, in fact, there are only two purposes, one is deterrence, and the other is to release illusion to trap Wang Lung, illusion can only be used to trap people, it should not have too strong attack effect, as long as Wang Lung can not get rid of illusion, then this level is considered a failure。
The experience given by the space guardian had just encountered such a big trouble, and Wang Lung was helpless and also knew that this was due to his lack of combat experience, which was no wonder to anyone, after all, he had just been in contact with cultivation for a long time, and he had not experienced the real life and death training a few times, and the purpose of the Supreme Elder to set up such a trial was already very clear.
While thanking Elder Taishang for what he had done for himself, Wang Lung was also smiling bitterly, since he had fallen into illusion, it was impossible to give up directly without working hard, no matter how the horror of the Evil Eye Toad Illusion was described in the classics, he had to try it, this was the last experience test, if he gave up directly, the first six experience tests were in vain, and the dawn of victory was just around the corner, how could he admit defeat, this was not his creed, nor was it the original intention of resolutely stepping into the path of cultivation.
After thinking about this, Wang Lung raised his eyes and looked at the old ghost coldly: "No matter what your intentions are, since it is an illusion, it has its weaknesses, I don't believe it, kill you, and you won't be able to get out of here." ”
"Kill me?" said the old ghost with a laugh, "You can just try it." ”
After the old ghost finished speaking, his body suddenly disappeared without a trace, not even a trace, as if it had never appeared, Wang Lung couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this, and quickly looked around, except for the endless starry sky, he found nothing around.
Now it's troublesome, the guy in charge has disappeared without a trace, and he has no understanding of illusion. What to do?
Wang Lung looked up at the starry sky, and his heart was really upset, although he had the confidence to get out of this illusion, but he had to find the weakness, or find the person in charge who had just transformed into an old ghost, the so-called red evil eye toad. As long as you find the location of the opponent's true body and destroy it, this illusion will be broken.
Although Wang Lung didn't know much about illusion, a spell similar to a phantom array, his principle was very clear, after all, he had read all the formation materials in his hand no less than two or three times when he was trapped in the nameless space in the Pure Land, and he couldn't say that it was completely thorough, but he had his own understanding.
Illusion and illusion array are somewhat similar in a sense, the illusion array is built by some external objects, such as array disks, array flags, rune carvings, etc., according to the corresponding steps to arrange a psychedelic formation. The illusion is released by the caster itself through the guò spell, with a certain psychedelic effect, compared to the same level of illusion array, the power of the illusion is still a little smaller, and the caster must be integrated into the illusion at the same time to maintain the operation of the spell, if you don't enter it, you can also, but the power and persistence of the illusion will be greatly reduced, or even vulnerable.
Whether it's an illusion or a magic array. It is only when someone presides over it that its power is at its most effective. If the trapped person can't find the eye of the array in time and destroy it, they will be trapped in it for a long time until the caster's mana is exhausted or the phantom array breaks on its own, but this situation usually does not occur, and the reason for this is actually very simple. The illusion or illusion array is presided over by the caster and can clearly see what is happening in it, and it is very unwise for the trapped person to want to consume it with the caster, because the caster can use the illusion array to carry out a sneak attack, and one or two sneak attacks may be able to dodge. But there are too many times, and no one dares to guarantee that there will be no accidents, so as long as you are trapped in the illusion or illusion array, you must quickly find a way to leave, and at the same time, you must also beware of being attacked.
As the saying goes, there are no absolutes, Wang Lung is this exception, he can't find the red evil eye toad hidden around for a while, and he is not worried about the other party's sneak attack, he can't wait for the red evil eye toad to sneak attack, so as to find the other party's hiding place.
In fact, Wang Lung's biggest reliance is not this, but the level limit of his training, the cultivation of the Red Evil Eye Toad has reached the early stage of transforming into a god, no matter how far the opponent's strength is suppressed, if he really carries out a sneak attack on him, he will definitely not be able to bear it, even if he does not sneak attack, he will not be able to bear it, after all, the strength level of the Red Evil Eye Toad exceeds his refining standard too much.
In this way, Wang Lung is a bit of a broken jar, but this is also a helpless thing, now he is trapped in the illusion, his strength is not good, and he is inexperienced, he can only use the rules to play the side ball, I believe that even if Elder Taishang and others know, there is no way to take him, this is within the scope of the rules.
Even so, Wang Lung knew that there was no point in consuming it like this, and when the two brothers left, they didn't remind him how long it would take to break through the training, but he didn't want to waste time needlessly, as a cultivator, wasting time was definitely a shameful behavior, to put it mildly, that kind of appearance was like a turtle with a shrunken head.
Wang Lung knew that his understanding of illusion or illusion array was a few pounds and taels, and it was a fool's dream to improve to another level in a short period of time, and he could only rely on his existing experience to explore a little bit, as for whether he could succeed, Wang Lung had no bottom in his heart.
After sighing lightly, Wang Lung shook his head helplessly, he had been searching for the so-called illusion weakness or the hiding place of the Red Evil Eye Toad for more than an hour, and there was nothing suspicious except for the starry sky and the hard rock nitrate.
Squatting on the ground, reaching out to caress the glass-like lunar soil, feeling the faint coolness between his fingers, Wang Lung lowered his eyebrows and pondered what he knew about the phantom array.
As far as illusion is concerned, Wang Lung doesn't know much, after all, it is a kind of spell, with his current cultivation, he can't contact illusion, he can only deduce through the phantom array, illusion and illusion array are eighty percent similar, his cognition is limited, he can only do this, and in the past hour, Wang Lung also confirmed one point, that is, the red evil eye toad will not sneak attack him, which also makes his tense mind at the beginning a lot more relaxed, and he can put more mind to calculate the other party's hiding place.
Time passed little by little, and three days later, Wang Lung tore off the rags around his waist and abdomen, and the wound corroded by the slime of the evil eye toad had already grown new skin, although it was a little immature, but if you didn't look closely, you couldn't find it at all, and there wasn't even any scar.
The healing of the wound in the past few days is the only thing that makes Wang Lung happy, as for the environment he is in, he still has no clue, there is no way, he doesn't know anything about illusions, even if he is dissatisfied with the formation knowledge of half a bottle, it is useless.
The book is to use prescriptions to hate less, this old saying lingers in Wang Long's mind, he secretly hates that he didn't learn more formations with a brother or two, otherwise he wouldn't have to be as helpless as now, but then again, when he left the old naughty boy's lair, he only had a year to rest, all of which was used to exercise his own strength, and the rest of the time was also constantly running around for the experience, and he didn't have a moment of leisure, even if one brother and two could teach, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to learn too much, and in addition to the formation, talismans, pills, There are many things to learn such as refining tools, and this is not a day's work.
Time passed little by little in the helplessness and frustration of searching for the weakness of the illusion, Wang Lung could no longer remember how long it had been since he was trapped in the illusion, a month or two months, during this time, he had been looking for non-stop, not to mention clues, even if the ground he was standing on was really lunar soil, he had not figured it out.
It's too true, I can't see a trace of fraud, the feel, temperature, rock nitrate, and the traces left by the sword attack, all of them make Wang Lung unable to suspect that the position he is standing on is the surface of the moon, and before he entered the mine, the location he was in was the moon, the mine must have evolved from the formation, the moon is not 100%, he followed a brother and two to this place, the route is very clear, unless Elder Taishang has set up a phantom array from the beginning of Arlinn's Cave Mansion, is it possible?
Wang Lung angrily stretched out his foot and kicked the glass-like rock protruding from the ground of the moon, and a crisp sound came into his ears, this sound he had heard many times, and the same rock nitrate didn't know how much it was kicked and broken, and the kick that he didn't care about made Wang Lung stunned.
Wang Lung hurriedly squatted down, carefully looked at the rock nitrate that was kicked and broken by himself, for a long time, Wang Lung laughed wildly as if he had discovered a new world: "Haha, I see, I don't feel right, although this is the same as the surface of the moon, but there has always been a feeling in the dark, so it is, I see where you are still running."
