Chapter 8: Breaking the Illusion
The reason why Wang Lung was so happy was that he had finally discovered the flaw, just after he had just kicked the broken rock nitrate, and he had seen the shape and broken joints of the rock nitrate after the shattering, and he was very impressed.
I have forgotten what day it was, Wang Lung couldn't find the flaw in the illusion for a long time, and in a fit of anger, he kicked the rock nitrate under his feet, at that time he did it unintentionally, but after the rock nitrate shattered, he remembered a method of confirmation, and in the future, he would kick the rock nitrate every other distance to see if there would be a scene compound.
After a long time, when Wang Lung thought that this boring action would not gain anything, he suddenly found that the rock nitrate he had just kicked and shattered was strikingly similar to the first time, and finally looked carefully and found that it was not similar, but repetition, he didn't know how to understand this repetition, but it gave him an opportunity to find a flaw.
"The moon is not big, but the distance is not short, and I don't believe that you can perfectly replicate the entire moon. ”
Ignoring the shattered rock nitrate under his feet, Wang Lung said as if talking to himself, he knew that the Red Evil Eye Toad would definitely be able to hear what he said, and in the illusion spell arranged by the other party, the Red Evil Eye Toad was not subject to any constraints.
There was no response, Wang Lung had long been used to it, raised his head and looked around, then suddenly turned around and retreated more than ten feet, the corners of his eyes carefully distinguished the differences around him, and soon he saw a trace of difference, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up a certain arc.
After discovering the difference, Wang Lung didn't stop any longer, his body rushed forward directly, although his eyes looked ahead, but his real attention was all within the range of sight, and soon Wang Lung stopped his body, looked back and couldn't help frowning.
After a little silence, Wang Lung seemed to understand something, and nodded slightly. Turning to the left and moving on, the same scene resurfaced, but this time Wang Lung turned his gaze to the distance behind him, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Turn around and walk back, this time walking a longer distance, and when Wang Lung feels something gained, he regains his footing and then turns right and continues to move forward. After about a cup of tea, when Wang Lung stood next to the Shattered Rock Nitrate again, he finally found the problem.
If you don't kick it at random, you can't find the mystery in it, and you actually use the method of light refraction to form countless fragments into a huge illusion space, what is the use of more fragments, it's not the same, but I didn't expect this fragment to be so small, but thirty zhang square, it seems that the red evil eye toad is hidden within this thirty zhang.
Wang Lung's eyes carefully swept over the area circled in front of him. Thirty zhang was only a hundred meters away, and with his eyesight, it was clear what was inside, but now except for the cold ground, there was no trace of the red evil-eyed toad at all.
Although he hadn't pulled out the red evil eye toad for the time being, Wang Lung knew that it was only a matter of time before he could, as long as the scope was delineated, it was actually very simple to find the other party's hiding place. Wang Lung sneered and shouted, "Since you want to continue hiding, then I will fulfill you." ”
Wang Lung finished. Strode towards the central area of the thirty zhang range, he didn't think that the other party would hide in the center, but there was a small change in this range, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a blinding method, only by breaking this small blinding method, the red evil eye toad would have nowhere to hide.
The range of thirty zhang is not large at all. Wang Lung couldn't help frowning after walking back and forth for more than a dozen times, realizing that he had looked very carefully, but there was no abnormality in this area at all, and even in the last few laps, every time he saw raised rock nitrate or glassy silica. He would kick and shatter, and there was no duplicate one so far, which made Wang Lung feel that something was wrong.
Wang Lung never suspected that he had found the wrong direction, if this was wrong, he felt that he could give up, after all, with his formation attainment, it was not easy to find this flaw, in his opinion, even if a real cultivator was trapped in it, it would be difficult to find this flaw, the endless black night sky, using the faint light of the stars to refract and blind his eyes, not only had good patience and insight, but also looked at the opportunity, if he did it again, Wang Lung didn't know if he would have this luck.
Where is it? While Wang Lung frowned, his eyes swept around the surrounding environment, and soon, he fell his gaze to the ground, the surface of the moon was already pitted, and the rock nitrate and silica that he kicked and shattered were scattered everywhere, and it was said that the broken rock nitrate should not have any regularity, but Wang Lung saw at a glance that those rock nitrate fragments had an indescribable weirdness.
His eyes swept over the rock nitrate fragments on the ground little by little, and soon Wang Lung laughed: "Amazing, you actually arranged a miniature illusion within this illusion, if it weren't for my good memory, I'm afraid it really fooled you." ”
As he spoke, Wang Lung walked quickly to a rock nitrate, glanced down at the shattered rock nitrate, and then nodded.
One foot down, whether it is rock nitrate or glassy silica, the broken Cheng dù is within the range of his control, and the fragments produced are about eight to nine pieces, in order to find a flaw, Wang Lung has kept in mind the changes of each kicking broken rock nitrate, even if the flaw is found, the range is controlled within thirty zhang, and the strength of his foot remains unchanged.
Just now, Wang Lung found the broken rock nitrate under his feet, and its fragments were only seven pieces, one or two less than under normal circumstances, where the reduced broken nitrate went, Wang Lung couldn't be clearer in his heart.
Just in front of Wang Lung, the red evil eye toad cast a miniature illusion, saying that it is an illusion rather than a simple maze array, this is the simplest one of the formations that Wang Lung has come into contact with about the illusion array, if ordinary people encounter it, they will not completely fall into it without knowing how to crack it, but they can't go into it at all.
The phantom array in front of him is a passive psychedelic array, you only need the corresponding steps to enter it, and then according to the steps recorded in the classics, you can find the hiding place of the red evil-eyed toad, such a formation Wang Lung has encountered, he has experienced in the Green Plains Star, and when he first saw the concubine, the psychedelic array arranged by the concubine is this way, but the formation arranged by the concubine is an active formation, as long as you walk over, you can fall into it, and the one in front of Wang Lung is a passive psychedelic array, only if you know the order of the steps to enter the formation, you can enter the formation, but entering it is not finished, there are still steps out of the formation。
Seeing this, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Wang Long's mouth, and then he took two steps forward and three steps back, waiting to stand still. Take a parallel step to the left, repeat the steps of two and three back, then take a step to the right and return to the starting point, and after repeating the above steps three times in a row, Wang Lung is still standing at the starting point.
But this time, Wang Lung didn't hesitate. He strode forward, and soon, as he took the first step, his vision changed instantly, and he came to a familiar place, an abandoned mine.
"I didn't expect to turn around and come back, it seems that you never left at all, the old ghost who changed some time ago was just casting spells, and what I didn't expect was that the illusion you released yourself didn't actually preside over it yourself. It seems that you don't look down on me at all. ”
Returning to the abandoned mine again, Wang Lung saw the red evil-eyed toad not far in front of him, the distance between him and the other party was exactly fifteen zhang, that is, the position where he was about to make a move, and now Wang Lung finally understood that in fact, from the very beginning, he had fallen into the illusion arranged by the red evil-eyed toad, and the evil-eyed toad that was shattered by the sword was just an illusion.
Seeing that the other party ignored himself. Wang Lung didn't care, he didn't think about whether the other party would sneak attack at all. Walked over casually, this step he wanted to follow the steps of the psychedelic array again, but after his feet landed, he realized that he had made an extra move.
"Without the illusion you presided over, even if I can't find the flaw, I'm afraid I won't last long, not to mention that you have added another layer of illusion to it. Supporting two illusions at the same time, even if your body is here, I'm afraid you don't have much mana. ”
While speaking, Wang Lung was already close to the Red Evil Eye Toad no more than a foot away, and the other party was still in the state before Wang Lung was trapped by the illusion. Although his eyes were fixed on Wang Lung, he did not have any charm.
Seeing this, Wang Lung couldn't help but sigh, then shook his head and said, "It seems that you were already dead the moment I came in. ”
Although the other party is the opponent of the Holy Source Department, but was placed here by the Supreme Elder to be a sparring partner for him, the Evil Eye Toad has long lost the right to freedom and life and death, Wang Lung knows that he must kill the other party in order to pass the Guò experience, although the Red Evil Eye Toad is dead, but Wang Lung no longer regards it as an opponent, but bows respectfully.
It was the other party who made him realize his shortcomings, especially in terms of formations, Wang Lung had little understanding of formations, and during this period of time, in order to find the flaws in the illusion, he tossed the formation knowledge he had learned back and forth many times, and this countless times of confirmation gave him a new understanding of the formation, although he was still a beginner, but it was much stronger than at the beginning.
The Red Evil Eye Toad died, but for Wang Lung, its death was very valuable, and the level arranged for him by Elder Taishang made Wang Lung realize a lot of things, and the experience of fighting naturally went without saying, especially the difference between illusion and illusion array and how to find the flaws in illusion in unfavorable situations.
Wang Lung felt that he had gained a lot, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with paying tribute to the red evil eye toad, maybe this bow should be dedicated to Elder Taishang, but Wang Lung knew that he had never met the other party, and in order to hone himself, just a bow would not work.
When Wang Lung's body stood up straight, a sword shadow suddenly appeared in front of him, it was Wang Lung's war knife, the red evil eye toad was dead, and he had to make up for it to know what to do next.
In the face of the enemy, respect is one thing, and the ruthlessness that should be there is another, for the sake of experience, for the sake of future strength, Wang Lung knows how to face this test correctly.
Under the knife, the red evil-eyed toad was cut off by Wang Lung without the slightest resistance, and as the evil-eyed toad fell to the ground, the faint black shadow behind the other party finally revealed its true face.
A passage shrouded in a black light curtain appeared in front of Wang Lung, he didn't know what was behind the light curtain, whether it was the second layer of the abandoned mine or a new location, he didn't have any interest for the time being, but his eyes fell on the red evil eye toad.
After the red evil-eyed toad was slashed by Wang Lung's body, its bright red body was fading little by little, and soon turned pale red, and the change continued, cyan...... Pale cyan ...... Grey...... Pale grey ...... White...... It was transparent until it disappeared in front of Wang Lung like smoke and dust, leaving no residue behind.
Looking at what happened in front of him, Wang Lung felt so familiar, the body of the blue and gray evil-eyed toad was not taken away by the red evil-eyed toad, but dissipated into heaven and earth like the red evil-eyed toad.
Mo Tianlong, Huang Yan...... Sacrifice, one by one familiar names came to Wang Long's mind, such a scene he had seen outside the Motian Dragon Cave Mansion, the formation, a familiar and unfamiliar formation, the Huangquan ghost, the painful tempering in the eighteenth layer of hell is still vivid, it seems that Elder Taishang has moved this qiē out again, but the opponent he has to face this time is not many times stronger than the last time.
Wang Lung looked up at the dark light curtain passage in front of him, he knew that his ordeal was coming, if he didn't deal with it well this time, I was afraid that the pain he suffered would be unimaginable, the last time was mental torture, he didn't know what would happen this time.
Soon, Wang Lung sighed, and finally calmed down his agitated mood, just like when he first accepted the experience, he moved forward bravely, there was no way back, and he would die on the way to the trial.
Wang Lung slowly walked towards the black light curtain passage, but he didn't enter it immediately, but walked to the side of the light curtain and sat down cross-legged, he didn't retreat, but he needed to think about something, especially the battle with the three evil eye toads.
What Wang Lung lacks most is not physical strength, but experience, whether it is combat experience or other experience, for a rookie who has just stepped into the ranks of cultivation, a qiē perception is worth scrutinizing, only by completely digesting what he has obtained can he go further, Wang Lung knows that he has never taken these things seriously before, and now he has woken up, or rather, he is enlightened.
Ignoring the impact of the black light curtain, Wang Lung sat cross-legged on the ground, then closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.
Time passed little by little, and after three days, Wang Lung finally opened his eyes, and when his eyes opened, it seemed that there was a shimmering essence hole through the light curtain, and at the same time, the corners of Wang Lung's mouth showed a faint smile, it seemed that this meditation had gained a lot.
After waking up, Wang Lung didn't hesitate, got up from the ground and glanced at the black light curtain, then took out a set of clothes from the storage spirit weapon and changed them again, tidied up a little, and walked into the black light curtain. (To be continued......)
