After riding Hongye into the fog, Lei Xiao, who was hovering in the air, noticed.
There are still two moons in the sky here, but the billowing smoke and screams on the battlefield no longer exist.
Instead, there was an extremely vast, quiet, woody land that looked smooth and moist.
I saw this weird wooden land, with the color changing slightly at every distance.
And the changes are extremely abrupt and full of fragmentation, as if it is made up of pieces of wood that are hundreds of meters long.
And further away, there are huge square mountain peaks erected, which are difficult to see clearly under the hazy night.
After all, Lei Xiao, who had been fighting at low altitude just now, was currently only a few dozen meters above the ground. His field of vision was relatively limited, and the visibility at night was far worse than during the day.
But these are not the most eye-catching.
What is even more eye-catching is that in the distance of this wooden land, you can vaguely see three tall towers standing in sequence.
Each tower reaches straight into the sky, at least several thousand meters upward, and it is impossible to measure the exact height.
"Strange wooden ground, square peaks, three slender towers reaching into the sky... What kind of weird place is this?"
With doubts in his heart, Lei Xiao made further discoveries.
The originally strong smell of blood and burnt lake had long since disappeared.
Instead, a faint salty smell flowed into his nostrils, a smell that could only be found at the seaside.
All in all, the strange scene in front of us was completely different from the scorching battlefield just now, and people couldn't help but marvel.
"Sure enough, it is another strange illusion."
Lei Xiao concentrated his mind and tried to see some clues, but to no avail.
"Lord, this is indeed an extremely exquisite fifth-level illusion. Even my subordinates can't see any flaws."
Even though he was still in dragon form, Hong Ye's crisp and clear voice still entered Lei Xiao's mind.
"Hongye, take off and take a look."
Lei Xiao pondered for a moment and gently patted the thick dragon scales in front of him.
"As you command, Lord."
After receiving Lei Xiao's instructions, Hong Ye flapped her giant wings and began to take off at high speed.
Feeling the increasingly harsh wind in the sky, Lei Xiao looked down, with a look of surprise on his face.
As his vision broadened, Lei Xiao discovered.
This is not a quiet wooden land at all, but an incredibly large three-masted sailboat sailing on the endless calm sea!
This unimaginable three-masted sailboat was even larger than the entire Stargazing City. Those square objects were not mountains at all, but giant wooden boxes stacked on the hull.
As for the three tall towers, they are three slender masts that are so tall that the tops cannot be seen!
For a moment, this ship, which was as huge as an island, was extremely shocking.
"Good guy, I feel like an ant."
In surprise, Lei Xiao was about to order Hong Ye to try to fly out of the illusion, but found that he had just moved from the port side to the starboard side of the giant hull in an instant.
"Lord, it seems that although we are flying upward, we are not actually flying in a straight line, but have completely lost our direction, as if we have entered a maze."
Hong Ye's slightly helpless voice rang in Lei Xiao's ears again: "I'll try flying straight towards the end again."
After finishing speaking, Hong Ye's giant dragon wings vibrated like a flaming meteor, shooting straight towards the boundless sea.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Lei Xiao and Hong Ye to reappear on top of the giant hull, as if they had gone around in a big circle.
"It seems that the reason why the other party used this trump card is obviously to delay time and try to regroup."
Lei Xiao tightened his eyebrows, nodded to Hong Ye and said: "That's all, this illusion is likely to cover the entire area including Wangxing City, so let's go down first. Xiao Huan and Erza are also here.
Here, you will definitely find a way to leave."
Just as Lei Xiao and Hong Ye were high in the sky, they tried to leave the illusion to no avail.
Gracilaria, Wu, and Teresa who were on the hull also couldn't find a way to leave after trying many times.
"I didn't expect that No. 3 would actually hide such a trump card!"
Gracilaria's pointed ears twitched slightly with eagerness, and her fair face was full of helplessness.
Just now was the best time to pursue the opponent's defeated army. If we delay here for too long, the advantage gained by the lord with all his efforts will be lost again.
"This illusion is so exquisite and impeccably woven that even the fifth-level peak powerhouse may not be able to escape."
Teresa's eyebrows were furrowed and she muttered: "The strong men of the Brotherhood have used extremely rare fifth-level illusion scrolls several times. This undoubtedly means that there is very likely a fifth-level peak illusion master in the opponent's camp.
, that must be an extremely difficult object.”
"At least the opponent is not here right now, otherwise No. 3 wouldn't be able to use the illusion scroll."
Wu's voice was obviously much calmer. He nodded to Jiang Li and Teresa and said, "The top priority is to find a way to leave here as soon as possible."
"Mr. Wu is right. The environment here is depressing and chaotic. Strong people of level 3 and above can handle it with ease, but other ordinary soldiers will definitely faint if they stay here for a long time, which will greatly reduce our strength."
Just as the three fifth-level powerhouses said this, Lei Xiao's gentle voice rang out.
Hearing Lei Xiao's voice, the three of them followed the sound.
I saw Lei Xiao, Ariel, and Xiao Huan, dressed as a young magician, walking over from a giant wooden box.
"I have met Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Wu first bowed to Ariel, caressing his chest, and then nodded to Lei Xiao and said: "As expected of Your Excellency Ke Qing, this time Your Excellency Ke Qing really turned the tide."
"Mr. Wu, thank you very much. Without your help, how can I turn the tide? I should thank you all."
Lei Xiao smiled and nodded slightly: "But it's not the time to celebrate yet. If we are trapped for too long, it will definitely give the other party a chance to breathe. By then, it will be too late."
"What your Excellency, guest minister, said is absolutely true."
Teresa looked at Lei Xiao's face and frowned slightly unnoticeably.
Although she didn't know why Lei Xiao did this, the Saint of the Moon Palace had already noticed the true identity of "Lei Xiao" in front of her right away.
That's right, the person who appeared in front of everyone with Ariel and Xiao Huan was not the real Lei Xiao, but Erza who had transformed into Lei Xiao.
After Lei Xiao upgraded all Erza's equipment to level five.
Coupled with the return of the ancestral illusion ring to the sixth level, Erza's best illusion ability is enough to make any fifth-level strongman unable to see the flaws.
As for why Lei Xiao asked Erza to pretend to be him, it was naturally to conceal that he was the "Black Flame Knight".
Lei Xiao clearly understood that at this stage, it could not be ruled out whether there was still an informant from the other party in this sudden illusion.
Once Hong Ye is discovered by her opponent's spy when she transforms, and informs the man in black robe No. 3 and the black duke, the situation will undoubtedly be extremely troublesome.
So, just to be on the safe side.
Lei Xiao chose to continue to stay in the illusion as the "Black Flame Knight" and control Erza's actions through words.
And even though Erza was able to hide it, Wu was not very familiar with Lei Xiao.
But she couldn't hide it from Theresa, who was her younger sister. After all, there was a special blood connection between the dark elf twin sisters, which obviously couldn't be concealed by illusion.
"Then, may I ask, Your Excellency, guest, how can you get out of here?"
Looking at Lei Xiao, who was disguised as Erza, Teresa's tone was obviously less polite and respectful, and she curled her lips and asked.
"Of course I can't do anything about it, but there is someone in my camp who can help."
"Lei Xiao" obviously also discovered Theresa's discovery, and quickly pushed out Xiao Huan, who had been waiting in the back row.
As soon as Xiao Huan appeared, Wu was startled for a moment, and then took the initiative to ask for the first time: "Your Excellency, guest, who is this?"
Although in this special illusion, even the fifth-level powerhouse's perception would be greatly limited, Xiao Huan, who was jumping around hopelessly, seemed to have noticed something.
So much so that even he, who had been calm all this time, couldn't help but be stunned.
"To be honest, Mr. Wu, this is my subordinate, who is quite proficient in illusions."
Following Lei Xiao's instructions, "Lei Xiao" explained lightly: "Let her explain it."
"Time is urgent, let's talk as we walk."
Although the image created by Xiao Huan was short in stature, it looked extremely sophisticated. As he took steps forward, he began to explain: "As far as the little girl knows, this is an ancient illusion called "Endless Shackles."
"
"Although the scene of each "Endless Shackles" is different, its function is exactly the same, which is to trap the target."
"At the same time, the illusion will randomly generate the illusion of the trapped person to prevent the target from moving forward. The longer the target is trapped in the illusion, the more frequent the illusion will appear."
At this point, Xiao Huan's tone became more serious: "So, this endless shackles will not only trap the target, but may also become the target's guillotine."
"Xiao Huan, apart from us, there should be a large number of our ordinary soldiers trapped in the illusion, right? So, everyone here will be in danger?"
Jiang Li's willow eyebrows were already twisted into twists, and she quickly asked.
"Don't worry, only moving targets will be attacked by phantoms. The Lord has ordered our trapped soldiers to stay put."
Xiao Huan nodded to Jiang Li and continued: "The only way to remove the "Endless Shackles" is also very simple, which is to break the formation here."
"But the formations of illusions are often very deeply hidden, right?"
Teresa also frowned and asked: "Then how are we going to find the formation eye?"
"Don't worry about this, because the person standing in front of you is a true illusion master."
Xiao Huan put her hands on her hips, raised her chin and said, "My little lady will lead you to the formation as quickly as possible."
"So, all we need to do is break the formation eye, right?"
As a gust of wind passed by, the real Lei Xiao and Hong Ye appeared above everyone's heads and said, "Then please lead the way as soon as possible."
"No problem, Lord... I wish us all the best. Please follow the little girl's way."
Xiao Huan coughed lightly and quickened the pace.
Seeing the appearance of Lei Xiao riding on the giant dragon, Wu and Teresa both nodded in greeting, obviously maintaining considerable respect for this "Black Flame Knight".
Lei Xiao responded politely and nodded to the two of them.
Before Lei Xiao joined the team, he had already arranged everything through chanting.
Just as Xiao Huan said, the 50,000 elite pursuit troops led by Orr and others, as well as all our defenders in the city, are already on standby.
In the entire illusion, only the knotweed and the white knight were still engaged in a fierce battle with the troublesome giant sandworm.
As for Curio and other reconnaissance subordinates who are outside the illusion, Lei Xiao has also ordered the former to carefully detect the movements of the opponent's retreating army in case of emergency.
"Everything has been arranged. With Xiao Huan leading the way, who is comparable to a fifth-level illusionist, things will be much simpler."
Lei Xiao, who was condescending, looked at Xiao Huan's bouncing figure leading the way and nodded with satisfaction.
Although this guy doesn't look very reliable, there is still no problem with his strength.
I had already seen it before when I was on the space train.
Not long after the group left, accompanied by several unfamiliar dragon roars, two giant red dragons that were exactly the same as Hong Ye fell from the sky, roaring and landing in front of everyone.
The majestic momentum was astonishing as it caused the wooden ground beneath my feet to tremble.
From its semi-substantial and semi-illusory appearance, it can be clearly seen that it is an illusion produced by an illusion.
Seeing the two giant dragon phantoms appearing, the group couldn't help but clenched their weapons tightly, not daring to be careless in the slightest.
This is evident from the fact that the physical illusions produced by this level of illusion are comparable to those of real dragons.
"You don't have to worry."
While the tense atmosphere was spreading, Xiao Huan in front of the team smiled and quickly walked towards the two red dragons.
For a moment, the petite and exquisite Xiao Huan undoubtedly formed a sharp contrast with the two hill-like red dragons, making him look extremely small.
When they got closer, before the illusion could occur, Xiao Huan waved his hand, and the two extremely huge red dragons disappeared into thin air, as if they had never appeared.
"Okay, let's move on."
Xiao Huan clapped her hands gently and walked in the front again.
"Did we avoid a fierce battle? This saves a lot of trouble."
Seeing this scene, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows.
Fortunately, before the war started, he opened the "Wandering Gate" in time and found Xiao Huan's [God's Stone], otherwise things might not have gone so smoothly.
After all, Erza's strength is still at the fourth level, and she will still feel powerless to deal with this fifth-level illusion.
Then, a group of people moved forward on this giant wooden boat.
After Xiao Huan broke through several more powerful illusions blocking the road, he soon came to a huge hatch.
However, at this moment, the surroundings of the group suddenly shrouded in black mist and became turbulent.
