Devil’s Son-in-Law - Chapter 607
[Chapter 606 The Hidden Island Mystery]
When Chen Rui woke up from the recovery period of Yuxingchang, the Mandala was only about a day’s voyage away from Kiriyin Island.
The Mandala suffered a certain degree of damage in the previous World War I. Fortunately, there are many materials in Chen Rui’s storage warehouse. With the efforts of the sand people, it has been basically repaired, and all kinds of energy have been replenished.
A day later, the mysterious Kirishima Island finally appeared in front of everyone.
This island is smaller than Thunder Snake Island, and looks somewhat like a horseshoe. It is filled with thick fog for dozens of kilometers, and it is almost impossible to see things.
If it weren’t for Adeline’s special mental sense, even if she approached this area, she might not have found the exact location.
Thinking of the magical herbs on the legendary island, Sterina was full of expectations. What happened back then had been her heart disease for many years, and the talent of Six Swords Flow could no longer be returned to Adeline, but she must try to cure her sister’s eyes.
Taking into account the previous warning from the Octopus Emperor, Chen Rui instructed the ship to carefully bypass the nearby reefs and chose a shoal close to the shore of the island.
At this time, there are still three days before the rendezvous period mentioned by the Dark Elemental King. The scope of this island is not small, and I do not know whether the Dark Elemental King in the airship has arrived.
Behind the shoal is a dense forest. Chen Rui put away the Mandala and asked the crew to camp and rest on the shore. He took Diodiu, a dark element and a water element to the forest to explore the situation and find The whereabouts of the Dark Elemental King.
Sterina originally wanted to go together, but considering that she was the second combat force here, Adeline and the crew needed protection, so they stayed.
Chen Rui cautiously led the three of them to explore the jungle. This jungle is very large and the fog is extremely thick. Fortunately, the water element people have the power to control the water element.
Wherever he passed, the fog became much thinner.
There are many unknown and strange plants growing in the jungle.
Even Diu Diu, the “plant gourmet” with blood memory, can’t name it.
However, the amoeba had learned the lesson of gluttony in the past few times, and this time it did not dare to scramble, and followed in the footsteps of the master, but secretly tried something new along the way.
This exploration did not find any enemies, and the journey was unobstructed, but Chen Rui noticed one thing, although the greenery was full of greenery, the entire jungle could not see a single living animal, revealing a strange atmosphere of dead silence.
Seeing that it was getting late, just to be cautious.
Chen Rui intends to exit the woods from the original road.
However, at this time, the forest had undergone a strange change, and there was no way to return. The whole direction was upside down and messy.
Chen Rui stopped immediately.
The body flew into the air, and strangely, the misty woods grew steadily as he ascended, always besieged all around.
Chen Rui didn’t know that something strange happened in the woods, and the strength of his whole body quickly condensed, ready to attack the enemy that appeared at any time.
He suddenly saw Diu Diu and the two water elemental people still walking out in three directions in a daze, and
quickly shouted: “Don’t walk around, get together first!”
Although his voice was loud, Diu Diu and The two water elemental people didn’t seem to hear it.
Continue walking forward.
Diu Diu looked very happy, jumping up and down, sometimes opening his mouth wide, and sometimes lying on the ground with his transformed Erlang’s legs.
The expressions of the two elemental people were different, and the water elemental people shouted in horror, but no sound was heard.
The other dark elemental person was drowsy and almost fell to the ground while walking.
Chen Rui was secretly frightened, the eyes of analysis did not show any abnormal enemy traces, and immediately flew towards Diu Diu carefully.
However, no matter how he flies, he always maintains a fixed distance from Diu Diu who is close at hand, as if the amoeba is the center of a circle, no matter how hard he exerts, he can only circle around the center of the circle.
“Is it found that the invasion of unknown spiritual power has been transformed into aura?” A warning sound came from the super system. Chen Rui woke up suddenly, thinking of what happened in the ancient alchemy civilization fortress, and blurted out: “Illusion?”
Chen Rui’s spiritual power has reached The S+ level of the peak demon emperor, but he was not at all alert to this kind of illusion. Even after the super system turned the invading mental power into aura and absorbed it, the scene in front of him still did not change.
This is the first time he has seen such a powerful illusion, is it a real illusion, or is it… the power of the realm kingdom?
In his thoughts, the God-Eater Mask appeared on his face, and he immediately activated the “God-Eater” skill. In an instant, the mouth of the mask opened like a long whale sucking water, consuming all the nearby fog.
This is exactly the power of the God-devouring mask – eating all mental power, magic power and soul attack.
Sure enough, after the fog disappeared, the forest seemed to return to its original state. This time, Chen Rui didn’t “go around in circles” with Diu Diu. He reached out and grabbed the amoeba.
“Bold servant! How dare you disturb Uncle Diodiu’s meal!”
Uncle Amoeba, who was still immersed in a wonderful fantasy, raised his brows and was about to scold the servant when he was knocked hard on the head and woke up. , only to find out that it is the master, and quickly said flatly: “Master, I found the enemy’s logistics warehouse, in order to effectively fight the enemy, this uncle… er, no! Your humblest servant is not hesitating to risk being blasted. They have all eaten up their food!”
It seemed that the amoeba hadn’t fully woken up from the dream of “going deep behind enemy lines”, but Chen Rui didn’t have time to explain too much, and the two elemental people also returned to normal.
Perhaps due to the God-devouring mask, they did not encounter similar illusions along the way, and the group quickly retreated from the woods to the shoal.
As soon as they arrived at the shoal, they saw Streina and the Naga in a defensive formation that looked like a formidable enemy, surrounded by a few tents stationed there.
“Captain! You guys are finally back! Are you alright?” Chen Rui’s arrival made Streina look overjoyed.
“I encountered some problems, but they have been resolved,” Chen Rui frowned slightly: “Streina, is something happening here?”
Streena nodded solemnly: “After we settled down, we arranged for a Naga and a water The elemental people went to patrol nearby, but they didn’t return for a long time. When I took people to look for them, I found their bodies on the other side of the beach. Their deaths were very strange, and there were no signs of battle around them. No scars… Captain, come and see!”
Chen Rui followed Streina to the open space on the side, and the two corpses were exactly as Streina said.
The posture is very strange.
A water elemental person, Lantra, stepped forward and looked at the corpse of the clan, with a strange expression: “Lord Agul. From the state of Lantra’s death, it seems that he was burned to death by the power of flames. It should be I encountered an enemy who is proficient in the power of fire element, and it is strange that there are no traces of flame burns on his body.”
Chen Rui looked suspiciously at the corpse of the Water Elemental Man, who had been dead for 24 hours. Automatically make water flow evaporate and disappear.
Naga’s corpse on the side did not have this change. Naga’s dying expression was very frightened.
No real frostbite was found.
“Adeline said. She faintly sensed that there was a dangerous and special power watching over us, so I asked the Naga to be vigilant to fight at any time.”
Chen Rui frowned tightly, revealing deep thought Color – fire?
Frozen?
Enemies with powerful magical powers?
But there are no scars on the surface of the skin. Could it be that fire or ice “burned” from the heart?
He suddenly thought of a report he had read in a previous life, which was about brain consciousness and hallucinations.
A man was mistakenly locked in the cold storage for frozen food, and his body was found the next day. Judging from that, he was frozen to death. However, the strange thing is that the cold storage did not cool down that day, which is relatively normal. temperature is not high enough to kill.
Scientists have found through research that men should think that they are in the low temperature below zero and will definitely freeze to death.
As a result, this subjective consciousness produces an increasingly cold hallucination, which leads to the cessation of brain activity, and ultimately the real death.
Thinking of the powerful hallucinations he encountered in the woods before, Chen Rui finally understood, it must be like this!
The “power” that Adeline spoke of must have the super ability to manipulate illusions and souls.
Can use hallucinations to cause soul death.
The water element people were “burned to death” and the Naga were “frozen to death”, and there were no wounds on the surface, which was the reason.
No wonder the Octopus Emperor Chibi said “firm belief”, which is aimed at this guy who controls the illusion. Only by conquering the illusion with strong mental strength can we get rid of the danger.
Although the power of the God-devouring Mask is very targeted, it can be used once in the jungle, and the next time it will take seven days to use, and the other party’s trace is mysterious and unpredictable, even the eye of analysis cannot detect it (most likely remote control , beyond the sensing range of the Eye of Analysis), at present can only be cautiously prepared, and then try to deal with or get rid of this enemy after meeting with the Dark Elemental King.
A ring appeared on Chen Rui’s finger. It was the first “gift” that Xi Adam gave him this year. The secret treasure “Dark Will” of the Lucifer family can resist various mental intrusions to a certain extent. You can also use a random teleportation skill once a day.
At the beginning, this ring saved Chen Rui’s life several times. As his strength increased, the role of the ring became less and less, and more of it was used as a precious souvenir. Now wearing this ring, it seems to see that again. The tenderness contained in the pair of cold purple eyes could not help but give birth to a warm feeling.
In addition to the will of darkness, the god-devouring mask is immune to all soul manipulations. Using the two together, plus the super system, Chen Rui himself is not afraid, but Strena and the crew are very dangerous, and they don’t know that the other party is in addition to hallucinations, Is there any other attack ability, so it must not be taken lightly.
Chen Rui stated his speculation: “The enemy has the terrifying ability to manipulate the soul and mind. We are currently passive, and we can only take precautions when we cannot take the initiative to attack. It will be dark soon. , the situation is likely to be worse. Lantra, you are responsible for burying the body, Sterina, you distribute the food, and then arrange the night guards. The two of us will lead the team. I will be in the middle of the night, and you will be in the middle of the night. I Now go to the camp to set up a protective magic circle, hoping to pass the test of the night safely.” The
water element and the Naga female warrior all looked awe-inspiring and nodded seriously.
PS: First of all, I would like to say Happy New Year to everyone!
This year is the year of Dot’s life, huh, unfortunately, the first day is in a hurry.
In the morning, I went to the unit to deal with some affairs. When I came home at noon, there was a sudden power outage!
It’s New Year’s Day!
As a result, I spent an afternoon shopping with my wife and children on the street. Last year, I hardly accompany my wife and adults to the street. This year, the first day of the new year is considered to be courteous, but when I came back, there was no call. The family of three ate at the restaurant outside. A bowl of rice noodles for dinner.
I didn’t call until 7:30, and now Diandian is trying to code the second chapter. If it is too late, it is estimated that it will be delivered later. If it is too late, there will be two updates tomorrow.
During this period of time, I was very busy, and I did not have a holiday. I worked overtime to write organizational materials, budget, checkout, year-end summary, and cope with the above inspections. a sin.
