Chapter 606: The Hidden Misty Island
When Chen Rui woke up from the recovery period of the [Royal Star Transformation], the Devil’s Snare Ship was only about a day away from the Hidden Misty Island.
The Devil’s Snare Ship suffered a certain degree of damage during the first battle. Fortunately, Chen Rui’s storage warehouse contained a large number of materials. Thanks to the efforts of the sandn, it was basically repaired and various energies were also supplented.
A day later, the mysterious Hidden Misty Island finally appeared in front of everyone.
This horseshoe-like island was smaller than the Thunder Snake Island. It was filled with dense mist for dozens of kiloters which made it almost impossible to see things. It was indeed worthy of the Hidden Misty na. If it was not for Adeline’s special spirit sensing, the exact location might not be found even if they were close to this area.
Thinking of the magic herbs on the mystical island, Strena was full of expectations. What happened back then had troubled her mind for many years. She couldn’t return the talent of [6 Wield] to Adeline, but she must try to heal her sister’s eyes.
Taking into account the previous warning from Octopus King, Chen Rui commanded the ship to bypass the nearby reef carefully and chose a sandbank close to the shore of the island. At this ti, there were still 3 days before the eting period ntioned by the Dark Elental King. The range of this island is not small, I wonder if the Dark Elental King has arrived with his airship.
Behind the sandbank was a lush forest. Chen Rui kept the Devil’s Snare Ship and let the sailors camp and rest on the shore. He led Dodo, a dark elental and a water elental, to explore the forest to look for the whereabouts of the Dark Elental King.
Strena wanted to go together, but since she was the second greatest combat power here, she stayed after considering that Adeline and sailors needed protection.
Chen Rui carefully explored the forest with the 3 of them. The forest was very large and the mist was very dense. Fortunately, the water elentals had the power to control the water elent. Wherever they passed, the mist beca much thinner. There were many unknown strange plants growing in the forest in which even the ‘plant gourt’ Dodo, who had the bloodline mory, couldn’t na. However, the sli had learned the lessons of gluttony a few tis before, so he didn’t dare to wander again this ti. He followed his master’s footsteps, but he secretly tried so fruits along the way.
They did not encounter any enemy in this exploration. The journey was unimpeded, but Chen didn’t notice anything. Despite the greenery, there was no living animal in the forest; there was a strange atmosphere of death.
Seeing that the sky was getting darker, Chen Rui intended to retreat from the original road to the forest for safety purposes. However, the forest had undergone a strange change at this ti. They actually couldn’t find a way to return. The whole direction was chaotic. The more they retreated, the deeper they were in the forest.
Chen Rui imdiately stopped and flew into the air. The strange thing was that the woods surrounding the mist grew steadily as he rose, always surrounding him.
Chen Rui realized that there was sothing wrong with the forest. He rapidly condensed the power of his entire body and got ready to attack the enemies that appeared at any ti. When he suddenly saw Dodo and the 2 water elentals walking out in 3 directions in a daze, he hurriedly shouted, “Don’t wander, get together first!”
Although his voice was loud, Dodo and the 2 elentals didn’t seem to hear him. They continued to walk forward. Dodo looked very happy as he jumped up and down. Sotis he opened his mouth wide, and sotis he laid on the ground with his transford legs. The expressions of the 2 elentals were different. The water elentals shouted in horror, but no sound was heard. The other dark elental was drowsy and almost fell to the ground while walking.
Chen Rui was secretly shocked as the [Analytical Eyes] did not show any strange enemies. He imdiately flew toward Dodo carefully. However, no matter how he flew, there was always a fixed distance from the nearby Dodo. He couldn’t get close as if the sli was a circle center, no matter how hard he tried, he could only circle around the center.
“An unidentified spirit power intrusion is found. Turn it into auras?” A warning sound ca from the Super System. Chen Rui recovered his senses suddenly. As he recalled what happened in the ancient alchemy civilization stronghold, he blurted out, “Illusion?”
Chen Rui’s spirit power had reached the level of the peak stage Demon Overlord, but he was not aware of this illusion at all. Even after the Super System turned the invading spirit power into aura, the scene in front of him remained unchanged.
It was the first ti that he saw such a powerful illusion. Is it a real illusion or the power of the territory kingdom?
His mind shifted, and the God-Eating Mask appeared on his face. He imdiately activated the [God Eater] skill. In an instant, the mouth of the mask opened and devoured all nearby mists like a whale sucking water.
This was the ability of the God-Eating Mask- devouring all spirit power, magic and soul attacks.
Sure enough, after the mist disappeared, the forest seed to have returned to its original state. Chen Rui did not circle around Dodo now. He reached out and grabbed the sli.
“Bold servant! How dare you interrupt Master Dodo’s al!”
Master Sli, who was still imrsed in a wonderful illusion, raised his brows. When he was about to yell at the servant, he was struck hard on his head. As soon as he woke up, he found out that it was his master. He hurriedly said with flattery, “Master, I found out the enemy’s logistics warehouse. In order to effectively attack the enemy, I...Uh, no! Your humblest servant ate all their food with the risk of being blown up!”
It seed that the sli hadn’t fully awakened from the dream of stealing food from “the enemy’s warehouse”, but Chen Rui didn’t have the ti to explain too much. The 2 elentals also returned to normal. Perhaps because of the God-Eating Mask, they did not encounter such an illusion along the way. The group quickly withdrew to the sandbank from the woods.
As soon as they arrived at the sandbank, he saw Strena leading the nagas to surround the tents in a defensive formation like they were facing a terrifying enemy.
“Captain! You’re finally back! Are you okay?” Chen Rui’s arrival made Strena look relieved.
“I have encountered so problems, but they have been resolved.” Chen Rui frowned slightly, “Strena, is there sothing going on here?”
Strena nodded solemnly, “After we set up the tents, I arranged a naga and a water elental to patrol nearby, but they did not return for a long ti. When I led the people to search, I found their corpses on the other side of the beach. Their deaths are very strange. There were no signs of fighting around nor injuries on their bodies... Captain, co and see!”
Chen Rui followed Strena to the open space on the side. The 2 corpses were in a very strange posture as Strena said. 1 of the water elentals, Lantra, who was with him, ca forward and looked at the corpse of the comrade with a strange expression, “Sir Aguile, judging from the state of Landyla’s death, it seems that she was burned to death by fla power. She should have encountered an enemy who is proficient with fire elents. It’s strange that there are no traces of burns on his body.”
Chen Rui looked suspiciously at the corpses of the water elental that had sowhat lted. The water elentals would automatically evaporate and disappear after dying for 24 hours. The corpse of naga by the side did not have this change. The expression on the dead naga looked terrified. Her snake body curled up in a ball like she was frozen to death. Similarly, no real frostbite was found on her body.
“Adeline said that she faintly sensed that a dangerous and special force was watching us, so I asked the nagas to be on guard at any ti.
Chen Rui frowned tightly, revealing a thoughtful look. Burning? Frozen? A powerful magician enemy? But there are no scars on the surface of the skin. Could it be that the fire or ice ‘burned’ from the mind?
He suddenly thought of a report he had read in his previous life about brain consciousness and illusion. A man was mistakenly locked in a cold room storing frozen food, and his body was found the next day. He looked like he was frozen to death, but the strange thing was that the cold storage did not cool down on that day. It was a relatively normal temperature which was not enough to cause death.
Scientists had discovered through research that the man should be thinking that he would be frozen to death in the sub-zero temperature. As a result, this subjective consciousness produced an increasingly cold illusion which led to the cessation of brain activity and ultimately real death.
Thinking of the powerful illusion encountered in the forest, Chen Rui finally understood. It must be so! The ‘force’ that Adeline said must have the great power to manipulate illusion and soul. It could use illusion to cause death of the soul. That’s why there are no wounds on the surface when the water elental was ‘burned to death’ and the naga was ‘frozen to death’.
No wonder the Octopus King Red Pipit said ‘firm faith.” It is for this guy who controls the illusion. I can only get rid of the danger by using a strong spirit power to free myself from the illusion.
Although the power of the God-Eating Mask is very precise, I have already activated it once in the forest. The next ti it can be used is 7 days later. The other party’s whereabouts are mysterious and unpredictable. Even [Analytical Eyes] can’t detect it (It is most likely remote controlling which exceeds the sensing range of [Analytical Eyes]). We can only cautiously guard against itat the mont. After eting with the Dark Elental King, I will try to deal with or get rid of this enemy.
A ring appeared on Chen Rui’s finger. It was the first ‘gift’ Shea gave him. Lucifer Royal Family’s secret treasure, ‘Dark Will’ which could resist different kinds of spirit power interference to a certain extent. It could also launch a random teleport once a day.
At the beginning, this ring saved Chen Rui’s life several tis. As his strength grew, the role of the ring beca less and less. It was more of a precious souvenir. When he wore this ring now, he seed to see that tenderness in the pair of cold purple eyes again. He could not help feeling warm.
In addition to Dark Will, the God-Eating Mask was immune to all soul manipulations. Chen Rui was not afraid with these 2 plus the Super System, but it was very dangerous for Strena and the sailors. He didn’t know if the other party had any other offensive ability besides illusion. Therefore, he must not take it lightly.
Chen Rui put forward his own speculation, “The enemy has the terrifying ability to manipulate the soul and mind. We are currently in a passive situation, and we can only guard against the situation when we cannot take the initiative. It will soon be dark and the situation is likely to be even worse. Lantra, you are responsible for burying the corpse; Strena, you distribute the food, then arrange the selection of the night guard. We shall lead the team. I’ll handle the first half of the night, and you handle the second half. I will go to the tent to set up a protective magic circle now. I hope we can survive the test of the night safely.”
The water elentals and the female naga warriors showed a solemn expression and nodded seriously.
TL: The opponent doesn’t seem serious; the initial illusion could just be a warning. What will they face at night?
