Chapter 829
"This is..." Looking at the huge crystal shining with purple fluorescent light in front of him, Jing Chen felt that he could no longer express his shock.
"The Magic Mirror" Rios said calmly.
Jing Chen frowned slightly, "Can this thing be considered a mirror?" If it were a crystal stone, Jing Chen could understand, but such a transparent stone had nothing to do with the mirror.
"The reason why this thing is called the magic mirror is that it can transform into a virtual body. The magic mirror is related to another ability. I just don't know if the builder of this tower knows it and activates that ability." Rios's tone was confident.
"What is the other ability?" Jing Chen's curiosity arose.
"Spying." Rios answered extremely concisely, pausing, "You put your hands on this magic mirror, close your eyes, and think in your heart what you want to see."
"Whatever you want? Can you miss my parents?" At this moment, my father's caring eyes and mother's kind smile suddenly appeared in Jing Chen's mind, and it became clearer. The longing for his parents in his heart had long been transformed into the motivation for cultivation, urging him to reach level seven as soon as possible.
"Oh, no, this thing can only see the situation within a distance nearby. Unless your parents are nearby,..." Rios could understand the longing in Jing Chen's heart at this moment, and sighed and said.
"Oh." Although I knew it was unlikely, I still felt disappointed in my tone when I heard Rios's answer.
"What are you going to do?" Yue Yanran stopped Jing Chen's hand. To her, this thing seemed strange everywhere, and the huge purple crystal did not look like a safe thing. Seeing Jing Chen's actions, she immediately stopped Jing Chen.
"It's okay, this thing is called the magic mirror. One function is to transform into the virtual body we just saw. I'll try another function." After hearing Jing Chen's explanation, Yue Yanran no longer stopped him and allowed Jing Chen to walk towards the magic mirror.
Shortly after Jing Chen touched the magic mirror with both hands, a dazzling purple light lit up on the surface of the crystal. The light slowly brightened, and finally shook Yue Yanran had to block her eyes with her hands. What Jing Chen, as the person involved, saw a different scene.
A strange picture appeared in the huge purple crystal. There were four groups of people in the picture, one of which was the group of people kidnapped Yue Yanran, and the other group was the group of people with the Soul-loving Shadow. The other two groups of people were just gathering in that direction at first, but they came from both directions. When they gathered at the site of the incident, two groups of people actually gathered in one place. After a little thought, Jing Chen understood that the last group of people should be two teams of the Demon Hunter Guild.
The two teams went in a different direction, and then they gathered from both directions and finally got together. Through this magic mirror, Jing Chen could see that there were about two thousand people on the field at this moment, and there were nearly one thousand people on the Demon Hunter Guild, and the Soul-loving Shadow was more than the group of people kidnapped Yue Yanran, and there were five or six hundred people. The group of people who kidnapped Yue Yanran and claimed to be the Nangong family should be less than four hundred.
The leaders of several parties seemed to be saying something, and they refused to give in to each other, and several groups of people were vaguely trying to draw their swords toward each other.
Seeing this, Jing Chen put down his hands, and then he realized that the huge crystal that originally shone with purple light had already become much dimmed a lot at this moment.
"This is..." Jing Chen asked in confusion.
"This kind of spy consumes energy, and this magic mirror has been here for at least a thousand years. To this day, there is not much energy left. I think it will be broken in a hundred years." Rios seemed to have thought of something, and his tone was filled with loneliness and vicissitudes.
"Brother Jingchen, what were you doing just now? It was so dazzling." Yue Yanran saw Jingchen put down her hands before coming over to ask.
"Just look at the situation outside. Now that you are kidnapped by those who are the Soul-loving Shadow, the two groups of people in the Demon Hunter Guild are confronting each other. I wonder if there will be a bloody battle." That kind of battle of thousands of people is no longer something Jing Chen needs to consider.
"Soul-loving Shadow? Shadow Clan?" After hearing Jing Chen's words, Yue Yanran was shocked.
"Yes, what's wrong?" Jing Chen said in a little uncertain way about Yu Yue Yanran's changes.
"We have to leave here quickly, otherwise it will be too late. Unexpectedly, not only the Star Clan people participated in this time, but even the Shadow Clan came to trek in this muddy water. I have to inform the clan of this matter as soon as possible." Yue Yanran said uneasy.
"Star Clan? The three tribes of the Elf Clan?" After hearing Yue Yanran's words, Jing Chen realized, but he really couldn't understand why the three tribes of the Elf Clan were interested in the Giant Beast Empire. Although the Giant Beast Empire was very powerful back then, it had disappeared for more than 800 years. If the Elf Clan wanted to find something, it shouldn't have come at this time.
"No, the three major tribes you mentioned are actually the three most powerful and oldest tribes of the elves. Since the end of the Elf Empire, the three major tribes have existed. In these years, many small families and tribes have split from the three major tribes and formed some small groups. Most of these groups depend on or obey the three major tribes, but they do not directly be led by the three major tribes, which are similar to the empire and kingdom of humanity." Yue Yanran explained.
"Oh." Jing Chen replied, "Then the Shadow Clan and the Star Clan you are talking about are not those three tribes?"
"Of course not. What I'm talking about is only three branches in the Holy Spirit Empire. In fact, although the Soul-loving Shadow has been powerful and has existed on the mainland for thousands of years, it is just a medium-sized Shadow tribe specializing in assassination. They act strangely and have long since cut off contact with the Shadow tribe in Yuege Linhai, so few people know about them." Yue Yanran turned around the top of the tower, but found nowhere to go down, and her brows were locked tighter.
Jing Chen was slightly stunned. He had always thought that the powerful Soul-loving Shadow was the shadow clan elves. Unexpectedly, this Soul-loving Shadow was just a medium-sized tribe that was separated from one of the three major tribes. No wonder Rios said that the period he lived in was the most glorious era of the druids. Now only the shadow clan elves with melee druid fur can become famous in the continent for thousands of years. It is not difficult to see that the power of those melee druids back then was far from what they look like now.
Thinking of this, Jing Chen couldn't help feeling a little excited. He thought that his wild heart was very rare in the ancient times when Rios lived. Moreover, he had the broken scroll in hand and gave guidance to Rios, the ancient strong man, to open the letter left to him by his parents.
"Boy, don't be too proud. Although the cultivation method of that fragment is very suitable for you, it is a fragment after all. It is still unknown whether you can find other parts. The most important thing is that you and I don't know whether there is a complete copy of that thing. Who knows whether the person who created this secret method has perfected the secret method at the beginning, and the shadow clan you see now has its own strengths, not worthless." Rios's words shattered most of the dream that had just risen.
Yue Yanran looked at Jing Chen, and was happy for a while, frowned for a while. She couldn't help but raise her snow-white and gentle little hand and touch Jing Chen's forehead.
Feeling the warmth coming from my forehead, I was suddenly startled. When I raised my eyes, I saw Yue Yanran's little hand placing on her forehead.
"What's wrong?" looked at Yue Yanran in confusion.
"I'm sick." There was concern in my voice.
"Uh" When Jing Chen heard Yue Yanran's words, he was speechless and murmured, "I'm excited." However, Jing Chen's voice was extremely small, but Yue Yanran didn't hear it.
"What should we do now? There seems to be no place to go down here..." Yue Yanran pointed around.
"I will carry you down later." Jing Chen walked to the edge and looked at it. The tower was about ten meters above the ground, and it was not very high.
"Okay..." Yue Yanran's cheeks turned slightly red.
This time, Jing Chen seemed to have heard that Yue Yanran’s name seemed to have changed, and looked at Yue Yanran again. When Yue Yanran saw Jing Chen looking over, her cheeks flushed, but her pretty appearance was very charming.
Seeing Yue Yanran's shy appearance, Jing Chen was slightly stunned. There seemed to be a line in his heart that was touched. He shook his head and thought to himself that it was not the time to think about this. He carried Yue Yanran on his back and crawled down the somewhat damaged ground.
Soon, the two of them came under the tower and saw a hole on the base of the tower and a corroded metal door bolt on the ground. I think the door had rotted over a thousand years.
When I came here, there were many small crystals, and various lights were shining in the crystals.
"This should be the array eye of the Heavenly Maze Array, which is the center. I was thinking just now, why can't the Heavenly Maze Array feel the array eye? It turns out that it is arranged here." Rios said suddenly.
When Jing Chen walked closer, he found that the larger crystals could actually see the scene in the sky-scene formation. At this moment, the Soul-loving Shadow and the two groups of people who kidnapped Yue Yanran had retreated into the formation. On the screen, Jing Chen also discovered the mirage beast mentioned by Rios, which was about twenty centimeters tall. Walking on two thick hind legs, the two short forelimbs could grab things, the tail was very short, and there was a miserable green bubble all over his body. The gas was emitted from the bubbles, and it looked very disgusting.
"Old Mr. Li, is there any way to keep these messes in the formation forever?" Jing Chen's voice was filled with hatred.
After a brief thought, "Although I dare not say that I can stay all of them, it is not impossible. If you use those mirage beasts, you can try it."
Hearing Rios' words, Jing Chen's eyes lit up and he asked, "What should I do?"
"It's very simple. If you smash the red crystal, the mirage beasts in this formation will go crazy and release the destruction mirage realm that consumes its essence. I think these people can't escape from the destruction mirage realm."
Jing Chen looked carefully and found that there was a red crystal that was not too big in the middle of the room. There was a very small creature among the crystals. When he looked carefully, he found that it was eighty-point similar to the mirage beast. Jing Chen was no longer melancholy. He walked to the crystal and waved it to pieces. A harsh cry of tears came out instantly, which shocked Jing Chen's spiritual consciousness and almost sat on the ground.
"What was that just now?" Yue Yanran stood far away. Although she felt less strong than Jing Chen's, her little face was also a little pale.
"It's nothing, just a small gift, let's go!" As he said that, he walked outside first. Yue Yanran didn't think much about it, followed Jing Chen a few steps. When she turned around, a cold smile appeared on the corner of Jing Chen's mouth.
Walking among the ruins and looking back at the scenes just now, Jing Chen seemed to have returned to the glorious era of the empire. Only by witnessing it with his own eyes will he discover how powerful the former giant beast empire was, the bustling and bustling scene, the pride flashing in the eyes of those busy people, and the powerful people walking on the streets with monsters, whether majestic or cold. I think they are the beast controllers of the giant beast empire.
"Old Li."
"What's wrong?" Rios's voice was puzzled.
Jing Chen was slightly stunned. He just called Rios because he was just moved, but now he didn't know what he wanted to say, so he could only continue to move forward silently.
Rios seemed to understand what Jing Chen thought, "Actually, you don't have to think too much about the things in the world. If you have a long time of unity, you will be separated. Even if the elf empire that ruled the entire continent back then was also destroyed in the rings of time? Who will still remember the style of the elf empire back then? Time is like this, it will not stay for anyone; history is like this, it is just the glory of a successful person. No matter how brilliant you were in your lifetime, the end of failure is destined to be forgotten by the world. This is inevitable, the necessity of history, the necessity of time." Rios sighed.
Jing Chen nodded. Rios's casual words caused huge waves in his young and tender heart. He couldn't help but think that no one can live forever, but all the heroes passed down in history are winners and losers? It cannot be said that they are not heroes, but they failed, and their glory was forcibly erased by the successful.
"Old Li, thank you." Jing Chen's voice seemed to have a little more mature.
"Haha." Rios smiled, "Why thank me? When I was as old as you, I had many dreams like you, but history is cruel. No matter how brilliant you were in your lifetime, if you were a loser, you would not have anything to survive. This is history." After saying that, he sighed.
At this moment, Jing Chen seemed to see the heroic Rios standing in front of him, the strong man who was powerful even in ancient times, and he couldn't help but feel endless longing in his heart.
"Okay, let's not talk about this. This paradise is about to go out. You have to adjust your mindset. After you go out, we are looking for a safe place to solve her magic." Rios reminded that the feelings he had just now seemed to have been left behind by him in an instant.
"Okay." Jing Chen nodded without saying much.
After leaving for about a quarter of an hour, the scene in front of him suddenly changed, and the original ruins disappeared in an instant, as if they had never appeared. Jing Chen once again had to sigh that the magic of this ancient formation could actually achieve such an effect similar to the time and space transformation. It was really unpredictable to the gods and ghosts.
An endless group of dilapidated palaces appeared in front of Jing Chen. The palace had long been dilapidated and weeds and trees. However, from the glazed tiles and exquisitely carved walls, it is not difficult to see the magnificent momentum of this palace group back then. The giant palace gate as high as ten meters has no door panels. It seems that it has been rotten for too long. The thirty-meter-high inner city wall also seems a bit broken, but despite this, it all tells the sturdyness and magnitude of this palace group.
"Stop looking, although this palace group is already dead, it is not so easy to enter. Let's first remove the little girl's magic. Always carry her back, it is also a drag." Rios's words interrupted Jing Chen's gaze that continued to explore.
He nodded, thinking of the arrangement in the mystery array, Jing Chen was still scared for a while. He really didn't believe it if he encountered any danger, it would be inconvenient to carry Yue Yanran on his back.
"Old Mr. Li, should I...?" Jing Chen asked with a gentle placing Yue Yanran on the ground.
"You just need to pool your mental power into your eyes and shoot it into her eyes according to the method I gave it to you." This move is a common trick used to break the seal perception magic. It mainly uses your own mental power to break through the magic shackles of the caster, which is simple and practical.
"Okay." Jing Chen stopped talking and opened Yue Yanran's eyes. Two rays of light shot out from Jing Chen's eyes. Yue Yanran's eyes seemed to be stimulated by strong light. Yue Yanran's pupils shrank slightly. Before Jing Chen could react, Yue Yanran instantly hugged Jing Chen, kicked the ground with his feet, and flew horizontally to the ground for nearly ten meters. While Jing Chen was puzzled, a loud bang came from behind the two of them.
Jing Chen was shocked and turned his head to see that the place where he and he stood had just become a big pit more than one meter deep. It seemed that if Yue Yanran had not reacted quickly, he would have become a pie with her now. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Jing Chen looked up.
Two people walked out of the thick dust that rose. When they saw the visitor, Yue Yanran and Jing Chen were stunned. The two of them looked exactly the same as them. Seeing this scene, Jing Chen was so shocked that his chin was about to fall off. This is really strange. There are so many this year that a person who looks exactly the same as himself will appear to attack him.
"Old Li, is this?" When encountering this strange situation, Jing Chen was used to asking Rios.
"There is a magic mirror here." Rios' tone was also surprised.
"The Magic Mirror of the Illusion?" is another strange thing. Asking if you don't understand, has become a good habit for Jing Chen.
"Strictly speaking, the magic mirror should be regarded as the core of an ore. When the elemental crystal ore vein reaches a certain year, such a magic mirror will be bred in the center. However, the level of this magic mirror should not be very high. The virtual body transformed into is similar to yours, and that girl's virtual body is stronger than her." Rios explained.
"The strength of this thing is different?" According to what Rios said, the magic mirror seems to have something more advanced.
"The virtual body transformed by the illusion of the magic mirror is not another you, but another you who has the level of the magic mirror that can be transformed. The highest level of the magic mirror transformation should be between the first level and the middle level. Whether you are at level one or ten, your virtual body that can be transformed into is at level three. Moreover, this illusion of the virtual body will not waste the energy of the magic mirror itself. The energy of the magic mirror will only weaken with time." Rios continued to explain.
Jing Chen couldn't help but frowned slightly. Although the two level three virtual bodies were not a troublesome, he could kill one directly, but now Yue Yanran is by her side. It may still be a bit difficult to let her be a second-level magician apprentice to deal with the third-level magician's virtual body.
"This giant beast empire is really extraordinary. Even such rare things can be obtained. Although it can only serve as a warning to the super strong, if the army attacks, it will probably be difficult to get ahead of the line." Rios sighed.
After hearing Rios's words, Jing Chen was stunned for a moment. After thinking carefully, he also felt a little cold sweat from his forehead. Rios's meaning was self-evident. If a large army attacked, who would compete with him when this magic mirror came out? Although the third-level profession is not a strong man, if it is thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, it is a very terrifying force. Even the general army commander is only a strong man of about sixth level. He is willing to do so but not enough for such a number of third-level professions.
"What should I do now?" Jing Chen asked.
"Brother Jingchen, don't worry about me, you rush out first." Seeing Jingchen's embarrassed look, Yue Yanran smiled.
Jing Chen was slightly stunned. It turned out that he had said what he wanted to say to Rios in a hurry.
"Don't worry, I promised Mentor Lina to bring you back safely and will not leave you behind." Jing Chen said firmly, and his body slowly moved forward towards Yue Yanran.
"Okay, don't be lingering in front of me. This thing is not difficult for you. Although the magic mirror can transform into a virtual body with the same skills as you, the magic mirror is not a god after all. The virtual body it transforms into has no talented skills. You should know how to do it, right?" Rios smiled.
After hearing Rios's words, Jing Chen realized that he seemed to have been fooled by Rios for a while. Without saying anything, he cast Shadow Escape directly. He saw Jing Chen's figure becoming increasingly faint, and in the end he could hardly see the slightest.
Seeing Jing Chen's skill, Yue Yanran couldn't help but cover her little mouth in surprise. She looked particularly cute. Jing Chen didn't care about Yue Yanran's surprise and quietly touched the two virtual bodies. Fortunately, there were many plants here, otherwise it would be difficult to deal with if it was a piece of yellow sand.
When Jing Chen touched his virtual body and punched the virtual body, Yue Yanran's virtual body beside him had already reacted. Without giving Jing Chen a time to distance him, a level 4 magic whirlwind magic was released. Jing Chen's reaction was extremely fast. The moment the virtual body discovered him, several leaps had already left the range of the whirlwind technique. Unfortunately, the first move was lost, and before Jing Chen could attack, the virtual body was connected to three wind-level wind blade magic, which was divided into three upper, middle and lower routes.
In desperation, Jing Chen could only continue to dodge the three wind blades. During several battles, Jing Chen was in a hurry and had no room for fighting back. The magic of the virtual body seemed to be worthless, and all kinds of entry-level magic came over crazily.
Just as Jing Chen was tired of dealing with it and complaining, the virtual body was swept by a sudden third-level magic wind technique. The magic that was about to be cast was interrupted. Jing Chen, who had been looking for opportunities, could not let go of such a big flaw? A fighting spirit rushed out, and a colorless and transparent light ball headed straight to the chest of the virtual body. The virtual body had not adjusted its body's balance. Seeing that Jing Chen's attack was in front of him, he had only time to cast a wind shield on himself. Unfortunately, Jing Chen was no longer the same as before. How could a second-level defensive magic that was hastily cast to withstand his accumulating attack?
With a "puff!", the wind shield broke like a pierced balloon, and the light ball did not diminish, hitting the vital point of the chest of the virtual body. In an instant, the virtual body was blown to pieces and turned into energy and dissipated into the air.
Chapter completed!
