Chapter 171: Change in the Dark
()
Because of the black-clothed commander's "explanation", the atmosphere in the five major tribes was very dull, because no matter whether what the black-clothed commander said was correct or not, there was one thing that would not be wrong, that is, no matter whether they intervened to stop it or not, the people affected by the mirage palace still continued to appear.
But in this way, the most serious losses are undoubtedly their five major tribes.
Because the current situation was very obvious, from the confident words of the black-clothed leader, they had already made full preparations before, and they would definitely be able to minimize the extent of their influence from the Mirage Palace.
As for the Sanxiu and tribal leaders who are inside the Red Hurricane, although they will also be affected by the Mirage Palace, but with the existence of the Red Hurricane, it is impossible for the affected people in it to come out of it, so they also need to be eliminated.
So where did the "sacrifice" in the mouth of the black-clothed commander come from? Naturally, they were the people of the five major tribes in the field, so it was inevitable that there would be grievances and anger in their hearts.
The black-clothed commander looked at the five tribes that were waiting for enough "sacrifices" to appear after making a choice, with disdain on his face, and said heavily: "You have to remember everything you saw today, and you must clearly know that this is the real cultivation world.
In the face of life and death, no one but yourself can be trusted, because you never know if others will treat you sincerely."
However, after he finished speaking, his eyes looked at Lin Chen intentionally or unintentionally, and there was an inexplicable brilliance in his eyes.
The second and third who were standing behind him naturally knew that these words were meant for them, so they bowed to the black-clothed commander and shouted in unison: "The subordinates and others understand, thank you for the advice."
.....
During this rare waiting time, Lin Chen was also able to take time out to check the situation in Yunxi.
Lin Chen was also confused about why Yunxi fell into a coma, not to mention that before separating from the Yunlan tribe, Lin Chen was not with her, so he didn't know the specific situation of Yunxi at that time, so he didn't find anything wrong with Yunxi for a while.
However, after he checked it, he found that Yunxi's current situation was very peculiar, although she fell into a coma, she still had a part of her consciousness to remain awake, so when facing some stimuli from the outside world, she would also make some instinctive reactions.
As for why Yunxi is like this, with Lin Chen's current methods, it is difficult to find out for a while, but judging from the occasional fluctuations in cultivation on her body, there will be no other problems.
For except for the bright light in the light of the mirage palace, the rest of the surrounding area was still in darkness.
In this case, it was difficult for Lin Chen to specifically tell how long they had been going through now, and he could only roughly judge a point in time, thinking that it should be late at night, and it was not far from dawn.
And time passed in this very dreary atmosphere, and the number of people affected by the mirage palace gradually increased, and all of them stood in front of the mirage palace in the same state.
And during this time of waiting, they were also able to confirm once again that what the black-clothed commander said did not lie to them.
Because among all the people present now, the few people with the lowest cultivation have all been affected by the Mirage Palace, and they have broken away from the light film and stood in front of the Mirage Palace.
And after all of them were separated from the light film, the cultivation of those who were affected later were all above them.
What shocked them even more was the wonderful melody that came from the mirage palace, and after that, there was also a change, no longer through the five senses, but directly in everyone's minds, no matter how they blocked it, it was difficult to isolate it, even if the five senses were closed, it was useless.
Those who felt this were secretly glad for their choice, and if they chose the second stupid choice, I am afraid that in the end, they would really put themselves in the same way as the black-clad commander said.
In this sudden change, even Lin Zi'er was not spared, and there would be a brief loss of consciousness from time to time, but every time at this time, there would be a strange fluctuation in Lin Chen's mind, which passed through Lin Chen's hand holding Lin Zi'er's hand and passed to Lin Zi'er's body.
And after this strange fluctuation appeared, Lin Zi'er's influence would disappear in an instant, and she would return to normal in the next second.
Because this strange fluctuation was very small, even Du Feng, who had a mid-innate cultivation, was difficult to detect, even Lin Chen, who only noticed it after Lin Zi'er recovered.
However, with the cultivation of the middle stage of innate in his body, and he has seen the affected Lin Zi'er return to normal many times, Du Feng has also captured this strange fluctuation after many times, so his eyes are a little unbelievable when he looks at Lin Chen.
Because in his perception, this wonderful fluctuation was exactly the same as the wave that dispersed the red light when the red hurricane appeared before.
If anything, this strange wave is more subtle and a little more subtle than before.
However, although Du Feng was full of doubts in his heart, he did not choose to ask Lin Chen in the current environment, because he knew that once this matter was exposed now, he would first face the interrogation of the three major tribes who expressed their goodwill to them, and then he would face everyone's doubts, and even more serious would even cause a group of scattered cultivators and tribal leaders to kill.
Therefore, after understanding the stakes, Du Feng intentionally or unintentionally blocked some of the eyes looking at Lin Chen to reduce the possibility of being discovered.
"Now it's eighteen, what will happen next?", the man from the Lion Tiger Tribe said hatefully, then looked at the black-clothed leader with angry eyes.
The black-clad commander didn't answer his question, instead making a silent gesture to everyone, then smiled and looked at the front of the mirage palace, pointing to the eighteen people standing there.
Just when everyone began to suspect that the black-clothed commander was lying to them, one of the eighteen people suddenly moved, and walked towards the mirage palace.
As the man walked, several suspended steps appeared in front of him, and a burst of yellow light like water waves appeared on the mirage palace, and finally transformed into a two-meter-high "light gate" in front of everyone's eyes.
And after the appearance of this light gate, the palace complex, which was originally a mirage, suddenly underwent some indescribable changes, and many figures standing in the palace also became clear, and finally it seemed to become a picture scroll.
And this person also stepped into the light gate with one foot and disappeared in front of everyone's eyes, leaving only the "light gate" that was like the surface of the water, glowing with a little light wave.
Such a magical scene was seen by everyone, and at the same time, there was an incredible existence, but in the end, it was followed by extreme fear.
Because then they saw a very terrifying scene, after this person stepped into the light gate, someone found a figure exactly like this person in one of the mirage palaces.
Whether it is in appearance or other aspects, it is the same, and there is a smile on his face that is distorted several times.
But before the fear in their hearts could be released, one of the remaining seventeen came out again, and in the same way, "entered" into the mirage palace and became one of them.
It's just that they don't know that when these people affected by the mirage palace become one of them, there are changes in the darkness that they don't know are happening.
At the same time, outside the dark area, when the sun went down, no one chose to stay nearby, because there were some terrifying rumors before, and they all stayed away from here.
Especially after the appearance of the strange bloody face, they had completely dismissed the idea of entering.
It was already early in the morning, and there was already a faint light behind the mountains in the distance, indicating that the first sun was about to rise.
Just as the first man stepped into the mirage palace, a red hurricane in the darkness suddenly paused for a moment, and then began to move towards the center.
After that, every time a person stepped into the light gate, one of the red hurricanes in the darkness would appear in the same condition, and it would continue until the eighteenth person, and the eighteen red hurricanes began to move at the same speed towards the center, which was where Lin Chen's people were.
And when the eighteen red hurricanes began to move, at the outermost edge, the transparent wall separating the inside and outside also showed a slight unusual change, and a white light gradually emanated from it, and after a momentary flicker, the transparent wall began to shrink, forcing the darkness towards the center.
The contraction speed of the transparent wall is also very fast, just a few dozen breaths have already shrunk a distance of nearly 100 meters, and it is still maintaining this speed.
These changes were all in the dark and on the periphery, so they were not perceived by Lin Chen, and they did not know that a catastrophe that endangered everyone's lives was coming towards them.
At the mirage palace, when the eighteenth person walked into the light gate and appeared in the mirage, the light gate began to fade little by little, and finally disappeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Just when everyone thought it was over, a very small bell suddenly sounded from the mirage palace.
The bell was only the same size as the heartbeat of ordinary people, but the moment they heard this bell, everyone felt a heavy feeling of dizziness in their minds, and many people even fainted directly to the ground.
And after that, the mirage palace that was originally suspended from the ground began to slowly rise towards the sky.
