Wizard's Journey

Chapter 457 The Mystery of Mirage Desire (Part Twelve)

After dozens of Eyes of Destruction descended.

Time in the mirage cannot be compared or calculated with time in the real world, just as time in a dream cannot be compared or calculated with time in reality.

The rolling source of darkness spread, and Green's figure was completely hidden in the darkness.

Like a demon bringing death, Green, hidden in the darkness, completely blocked a cave that was only three meters high, and then slowly advanced forward, as if he wanted to wipe out the creatures inside the cave.

To date, Green has not yet devoured any Azure Rock Springs, nor has he hunted Mirage Pearls, and he is still unable to summon the so-called Azure Rock Power.

However, Green had already gained a considerable understanding of the survival rules on the illusory world of the towering cliffs and mountains, as well as his ability to fight purely with his body after losing his magic.

This cave is what Green discovered after a long search on the towering, rocky mountains.

The caves on the towering cliffs are countless, but generally speaking, the more powerful the creature or group that occupies the cave, the wider it is. For example, the wizards led by Gurendorf occupied a huge cave that was a hundred meters high.

Conversely, the larger the opening, the narrower the space, such as the cave that is now completely blocked by Green.

These colorful, lizard-like creatures, only about twenty centimeters long, darted swiftly and nimbly through the cave. Their large eyes watched intently as the darkness surged deeper into the cave, chirping nervously at each other as they retreated.

Occasionally, a small lizard would leap into the source of darkness, only to let out a scream and fall silent.

Finally, the source of darkness stopped at the deepest part of the cave, leaving only a small, unoccupied space. Two small, multicolored lizards clung to the stone wall, screeching towards the terrifying, unknown depths of darkness.

Bang!

A ram's horn and skull magic wand extended out and rested against the stone wall. The two ram's horns were wedged around the neck of a small lizard, rendering it unable to move no matter how much it struggled.

Slowly, a hand covered in scales reached out and grabbed at the desperate little creature.

Gaba!

With a few deft twists of his scaled hand, he snapped the small creature's neck, released the ram's horn and skull magic staff, and prepared to collect the creature's corpse into the source of darkness.

Chirp chirp chirp!

After letting out a shriek, another small lizard leaped onto the scaly hand with incredible speed and crawled up the arm into the darkness, attempting to deliver a fatal blow to the terrifying creature hidden in the source of darkness.

"Um?"

With a slight gasp of surprise and annoyance, Green seemed to have been hurt by the little creature's counterattack.

Then, with another "thud," the little lizard that had rushed into the source of darkness was slammed against the wall, lifeless, and slid to the ground.

The source of darkness gradually receded, and Grimm's figure appeared in the dimly lit cave.

After the scales retracted into his body, Green frowned and touched the wound on his lip, which seemed to have become partially paralyzed.

Before it died, this little creature actually retaliated by "kissing" Green. The venom seemed to have an effect on Green, as it seemed that the mixed poison body tempering could not completely immunize him.

Green doesn't have any antidote right now.

With a ring of these colorful little creature corpses hanging around his waist, Green picked up the small lizard from the ground, thought for a moment, and then used his sharp ram's horns to cut open its belly and remove two organs that Green thought resembled liver and gallbladder.

After carefully waiting for the power of the Azure Rock to dissipate, Green opened his mouth and squeezed the juice from his two organs into his mouth.

It wasn't as bitter as I had imagined; instead, it had a refreshing, tangy flavor, similar to orange juice.

With a "glug glug" sound, Green swallowed the juice.

call……

He breathed a sigh of relief. Generally speaking, such actions have some detoxification effect. Even if they don't work, given Green's strong physique, the poison from this small creature wouldn't be fatal.

After spending dozens of Eyes of Destruction days, Green finally found a test subject on the towering cliffs to verify his hypothesis.

"We have to hurry, or the power of the Azure Rock on these little things will dissipate."

Green used the power of nature to fly down to the foot of the giant mountain of Cangyan. He landed in front of a seven or eight-meter-long blackish-gray devouring clam. After forcefully opening it, a mirage bead wrapped in a cocoon was wriggling on the clam meat inside, looking as if it had fallen asleep, as if it had entered a wonderful illusion.

Green climbed into the Devouring Shell and placed the small lizard tied around his waist next to the Mirage Pearl.

squeak...

The Devouring Shell closed, and Grimm was now inside it together with the Mirage Pearl!

…………

The Devouring Shell is a self-centered, illusory world.

"This is the tail that Amonro's progenitor shed!? If we bring this tail back to the space fortress and hand it over to the operations command, even if it doesn't qualify as a first-class honor medal mission, it's guaranteed to be a second-class honor medal mission!"

Excited, Green grabbed the broken golden tail and used the power of nature to fly towards the space fortress.

After several days in the illusory world of the Devouring Shell, the shadowy, enigmatic world surrounding Grimm shattered as a gold coin was tossed into the sky and landed upright.

call!

Panting, Green touched his surroundings. Below was the flesh of the Devouring Shell, and above was the hard shell. Green used his strength to pry open the Devouring Shell.

The gray vortex in the sky continued to spin, as if another day of the Eye of Destruction had passed.

Green looked nervously into the Devouring Shell. The Mirage Pearl was still there, but the corpses of the small lizards were gone, without even a trace left.

Green sensed the changes within himself, but no matter how he sensed them, there seemed to be no change at all; there was no mirage power corresponding to the power of Azure Rock.

Could it be that the judgment was wrong?!

Grimm's eyes, hidden beneath the Mask of Truth, were lost in deep thought. After a long, blank stare, Grimm finally felt tired and quickly climbed out of the Devouring Shell, withdrawing the hand that had been supporting it.

"Um?"

Green suddenly froze; things hadn't changed!

At this moment, Green sensed that the land in this mirage was no longer as solid as it had seemed, but had become somewhat "softer." However, apart from that, he had not yet noticed any other changes.

"Could it be... that this is weakening my sense of being deceived!?"

Green thought of a possibility and speculated.

Back on the towering mountain of Cangyan, Green lowered his head and, in astonishment, picked up a strand of red hair, examining it closely.

At this moment, the entire Cangyan Mountain was sparsely covered with this red hair, no longer the uniform red boulder that Green had seen before.

Inside the wizard's cave, Grimm's pupils suddenly contracted beneath the Mask of Truth!

In Green's eyes, Gurendorf sometimes appeared as an alien creature with a pair of bat wings growing from its back and viscous liquid dripping from its body, and at other times as a wise wizard, whose words constantly changed between wizarding language and a noisy, unknown cry.

As for those so-called wizards who have lost their magic, they are simply descendants of "Grundorf".

Zhahan, on the other hand, had a completely different appearance. His lower body resembled an octopus with eight soft tentacles constantly wriggling, while his upper body had pale red skin, like a praying mantis. Green's eyes also constantly shifted between this alien monster form and the human wizard form.

This……

So I really did deceive my own senses?

Or rather, it deceived the senses of every living thing on the towering Cangyan Mountain!

At this moment, Gurundorf walked towards the altar chamber. The mirage pearl in its hand was no longer the pale red it once was, but a soft white, as beautiful as a pearl, and it was struggling weakly in the pale red power of the surrounding rocks.

Green followed Gurendorf toward the altar, also known as the Azure Rock Spring.

Green stopped at the door.

This is not some enormous altar; it is clearly the image of an Eye of Destruction in the sky, blood red and constantly spinning!

That spring in the craggy rock is at the center of this giant rock, as if it is watching over Gurendorf and Green.

Green felt nauseous.

In his attempt to uncover the secrets of the so-called Cangyan Spring Altar, Green had so gently touched it, so carefully smelled it, and even licked it with his tongue!

At this moment, Gurendorf was placing mirage beads, which looked like pearls, into this giant eye. These mirage beads, which emitted a soft, pure white light, struggled incessantly, but gradually sank into this blood-red "Eye of Destruction" and disappeared.

From the center of the Eye of Destruction's pupil, a series of blood droplets flowed out, congealing into blood clots, which were collected by Gurendorf.
