Sun Mo thought that he would spend a lot of time searching the castle, but he didn't expect that the little loach would be so capable and find the 'good place' so early.
The Aura Dragon is a creature that lives on the third level of the Dark Continent. It likes to eat fruits rich in aura and is very rare in number.
Their combat effectiveness is average, but they can be ranked thirty-sixth on the list of dark mysterious species because they have strong perception of spiritual energy.
What is Reiki?
This is the fundamental reason why the natives of Middle-earth want to become stronger.
The most notable feature of a good place considered by Spiritual Qi Youlong is its rich spiritual energy, and strong spiritual energy either means there are mineral veins or powerful secret treasures.
"Get rich!"
A person must be content, so Sun Mo decided to leave the castle after exploring the place where the little loach found.
Wait, did I set a flag?
Ding!
"Congratulations. You have impressed Qian Dun, a teacher, with your talent. Your reputation and connections have exceeded a thousand, so you will be rewarded with a silver treasure chest!"
"Can you please stop the alert sounding so suddenly? It's so scary!"
Sun Mo looked around. This was a corridor. The torches were reflected on the wall, and the light and shadow were swaying. It had the atmosphere of a horror movie.
"Teacher, what's wrong?"
Li Ziqi is very sensitive.
"fine."
Sun Mo patted Lu Zhiruo's head like he was petting a cat: "Open the box!"
After the white light flashed, a skill book glowing with green light was left behind.
"cool!"
Sun Mo whistled lightly.
Ding!
"Congratulations, you have obtained one hundred kinds of herbs from the Dark Continent. Would you like to learn them immediately?"
The system's voice was so emotional, and it was obvious that it was considering Sun Mo's complaint just now.
"Master Sun, you are the commander of the regiment and need to command the central army. Why don't you let me go to the front?"
Qian Dun suggested.
He has just advanced to the next level, and he is full of confidence. He is very eager to compete. He can't wait for a student group to come to him immediately, and then he can beat the opponent in a one-on-one battle.
"it does not matter!"
Sun Mo refused.
Lu Zhiruo walked at the front because she wanted to lead the way. Sun Mo naturally followed beside her to protect her. How about a money exchange?
Sorry, he is worried!
"oh!"
Qian Dun touched the big knife and felt a little disappointed. Hey, my big knife is already hungry and thirsty, but there is no head for me to chop off!
"study!"
Sun Mo didn't hesitate at all. He was now in the Dark Continent, and there would definitely be no harm in acquiring more knowledge.
The skill book was shattered, and the Forgiveness Green light spot shot into Sun Mo's eyebrows, and many more images immediately appeared in his mind.
Each plant, from the seeds falling to the ground, taking root and sprouting, to the flowers blooming and falling, performs reincarnations one after another, which is also imprinted in Sun Mo's memory.
"Xuanyuan Po, Jiang Leng, help me guard the front!"
After Sun Mo gave the instructions, he immediately started to deepen his memory while he had just learned the skill book and had the best impression.
An hour passed.
Ding!
"Congratulations, your knowledge of one hundred Dark Continent herbal plants has been upgraded to master level!"
Listening to the prompt, Sun Mo showed a satisfied smile.
I have become stronger, but I am not bald, it is perfect!
"Zhiruo, are you familiar with this place?"
Wang Chao saw Lu Zhiruo leading the way, only stopping occasionally to check the direction, but most of the time, he moved forward confidently, which made him curious.
"Not familiar!"
Papaya girl shook her head.
"and you……"
Chao Chao wanted to ask more, but was interrupted by Gu Xiuxun's cough.
"Ahem, Master Wang, what do you think of the buildings here?"
Gu Xiuxun changed the topic.
"I haven't studied architecture."
Dynasty's emotional intelligence is pretty good. I'm sorry to ask again. After all, it's a student's secret.
Two hours later, even Sun Mo, who trusted Papaya Girl, couldn't help but frown.
"not yet?"
Sun Mo looked around.
Lu Zhiruo immediately communicated with Lingqi Youlong, and then reported back: "Little Loach said that it seems to have lost its way!"
"..."
Hearing this, everyone was speechless.
Your guide will get lost? Are you kidding me?
Of course, because it gave Sun Mo face, even if everyone was dissatisfied, they did not dare to show it.
"I'm sorry……"
Lu Zhiruo lowered her head and twisted her clothes with her two index fingers, hating her own incompetence.
I'm such a waste!
There were tears in Papaya Girl's eyes.
"There's no need to apologize, you're doing it for the sake of the team!"
Sun Mo touched Papaya Mother's head and comforted her softly. He activated the Divine Insight Technique by the way, but found nothing unusual.
Old castle, unknown territory.
"teacher!"
Lu Zhiruo couldn't help but hugged Sun Mo's arm. The teacher was so gentle.
"It's not a bad thing that we can't find the road. It means we are getting closer to the dark secret treasure. As long as we figure out the reason for getting lost, we can get it."
Li Ziqi was partly analyzing and partly trying to help Papaya Niang.
It can make a spiritual dragon lose its direction. That secret treasure is definitely very powerful.
"good!"
Sun Mo looked into the distance: "From now on, everyone should stay as close as possible. No matter what accident happens, never leave the team!"
Sun Mo said and stared at Xuanyuan Po.
"Teacher, what do you see me doing?"
The fighting ghost scratched his hair.
"hehe!"
Tantai Yutang said in his heart, this guy's brain is really all about muscles.
Although Sun Mo had given an early warning, there was really no warning when the crisis came.
More than ten minutes later, no one had found the way, but a heavy white fog rolled in like a tidal wave and enveloped everyone.
The fog was so thick that I couldn't see even if I stretched out my hand!
"Be careful, don't wander around!"
Sun Mo once again activated the Divine Insight Technique.
Heavy fog, harmless, duration undetermined!
Seeing Harmless, Sun Mo breathed a sigh of relief, then stretched out his hand to pull Lu Zhiruo up, which made her expression change.
Papaya girl is very obedient to her own words. She will never move if she can't say anything to her. But why doesn't she touch anyone?
"Zhiruo, did you hear that?"
"say!"
"Ziqi, speak!"
Sun Mo shouted a few times, but found no response. Then he turned around and ran quickly.
This direction was where the student group was. Even if he was running around, he would probably bump into someone, but he rushed thirty steps without bumping into anyone.
Sun Mo's heart sank and he asked quickly.
"System, what's going on?"
The system was as cold as a stepmother and refused to answer.
Sun Mo took two deep breaths, calmed down, and then fully opened his senses, but felt nothing.
There was no sound of breathing or heartbeat at all.
Wherever the heavy fog covers everything, everything is silent.
Sun Mo hesitated for a few minutes, but in the end he did not leave. Instead, he chose to sit quietly. He took out his pocket watch and held it close to his eyes, without seeing the time clearly.
There is milky white everywhere, and it feels like the whole person is soaked in milk.
Sun Mo could only count silently. After about twelve thousand seconds, the fog began to dissipate, and five minutes later, it completely disappeared.
Sun Mo looked around and found that the place was the same as before, but there was no one around him, as if Sun Mo had always been alone.
Sun Mo stared around.
Old castle, unknown territory.
Sun Mo's frown was enough to kill a group of sea crabs.
He just heard the words "Unknown Zone" and thought he was in a new place. The system didn't know. Now it seems that the words "Unknown Zone" are not just literal meanings.
Sun Mo thought for a while, then suddenly punched the ground.
boom!
The ground was cracked like a spider web, and gravel was scattered everywhere.
Slate, composition, marble.
After Sun Mo left a mark on the wall, he started to move forward.
More than 100 meters above the castle, there is a dome of soil with no sign of life, surrounded by ruins.
It's not the kind that was destroyed by war, but was washed away by the long river of time into a no-man's land after existing for many years.
Sun Mo was exploring and thinking.
Where are you? Why do others disappear in an instant? Are they teleported away? Or are you in an illusion?
It shouldn't be teleporting away. Let's not talk about how powerful the technique is to be able to do such a thing, and there will definitely be fluctuations in spiritual energy, but I didn't feel it.
So it’s a fantasy?
Then the next question is, is this illusion for yourself or for all living creatures in the space?
Great, now let’s verify it.
Sun Mo stopped and entered a nearby house. He checked around it with the Divine Insight Technique. After finding nothing out of the ordinary, he pulled out Zhuiyun and cut his index finger.
Red blood flowed out, and Sun Mo began to draw a circular rune on the ground.
This is the summoning circle.
Five minutes later, the magic circle was completed. Sun Mo checked it over to make sure there were no flaws, and then began to recite the incantation and inject spiritual energy into the magic circle.
A burst of blood-colored mist filled the air from the magic circle, and then spread out. After a full ten minutes, a faint rustling sound could be heard from all around.
Sun Mo did not stop and continued to summon.
All kinds of bugs appear more and more and gather here.
Soon, the ground was covered with a thick layer of insects, layer upon layer, like a carpet, which made people's hair stand on end.
"Who can tell me where this place is?"
Sun Mo asked.
These bugs were not alive, but wisps of spiritual energy left behind after the bugs died. Sun Mo summoned them over with his psychic technique.
"It's a castle!"
"is home!"
"It's the place of death!"
Countless answers quickly poured into Sun Mo's mind.
These bugs die at different times and live in different areas, so their understanding of the castle is also different.
It's like blind men touching an elephant, what they say is only what they think.
"What created this land of death?"
Sun Mo began to use more precise questions to screen out the bugs. Those who answered about castles and homes could be given up.
Sun Mo quickly confirmed that the illusion was aimed at intruders like them. The insects were too small and were not within the attack range of the illusion. The insects usually moved freely, and some of them happened to live around the secret treasure.
“Lots of bones, big meal!”
"A black building!"
"You're going to die soon."
The replies from the bugs were varied.
"Take me to that building!"
Sun Mo ordered.
At this moment, Sun Mo deeply realized the power of psychic skills, but if those psychics saw this scene, they would be angry to death.
Many people learn psychic skills in order to summon powerful psychic beasts and increase their combat effectiveness, but Sun Mo was actually asking for directions.
