Please be my partner.

This attack, which Lucas had accumulated power for a long time, went straight along the mark and penetrated the brain and body of the Dark Lizard Dragon. As the mark was broken, the Dark Lizard Dragon stopped moving and fell to the ground with a bang.

"Huh!~"

After confirming the Dark Lizard Dragon's death, Xin Ke let out an exaggerated sigh of relief, and the others also relaxed a little.

Although the time was not long, the overall intensity of the battle was extremely high. As a peak legendary Dark Lizard Dragon, it would be a demon lord-level warrior in the abyss world.

Of course, as a monster with low intelligence, the Dark Lizard Dragon is definitely slightly inferior to the Demon Lord in the application of various means, but even so, it is still quite strong.

They were all in a good mood as they had hunted down such a powerful monster quite easily.

Xin Ke said smugly, "Once locked by my Delusion-Breaking Mark, there's no chance of survival! Even a needle can easily kill the Dark Lizard Dragon!"

Melen naturally understood that what Xinko said was an exaggeration, but he had to admit that the Mark of Delusion Breaking was indeed powerful. Although Lucas's attack had been accumulating power for quite some time, it might not be able to penetrate the scales and hard skull of the Dark Lizard Dragon. Moreover, even if it could penetrate, with the vitality of a legendary peak monster, the Dark Lizard Dragon would not die immediately. At most, it would be seriously injured, which would only make him more crazy.

It seemed that the Mark of Delusion had other effects besides lowering defense. When the Mark of Delusion was shattered, the Dark Lizard Dragon's vitality was also lost.

Vic said, "This was a successful hunt, and everyone worked very well together. Now let's leave the Misty Mountains and rest for a while."

This hunt for the Dark Lizard Dragon seemed short, but it took three days. This was certainly not the end, but being under the cover of clouds and fog and having one's senses suppressed for a long time would cause a certain amount of mental burden.

They are just here to improve the team's tacit understanding, so there is no need to make things difficult for themselves.

Following the same route they came, it took Mellen and his team less than a day to escape from the Misty Mountains.

Tiana released the flower demon to keep watch, and then they began to rest.

Vic, Xinke, and Lucas all took out their portable mansions and went in to rest.

Tiana doesn't need to do that. It takes root directly and begins to absorb nutrients from the earth. At the same time, the flower disk is facing the direction of the sun, and strands of silver light continue to gather.

This was not the first time Melen had seen this scene, although he still felt very surprised.

The sun, moon and stars in the spiritual world are not the sun, moon and stars in the conventional sense, but the projections of different worlds in the spiritual world. Therefore, what Tiana absorbs is not sunlight, moonlight and starlight, but the power and rules projected into the spiritual world by those worlds.

With Vic and the others around, it was difficult for Melen to create a fairy tale cottage, but there was no need to worry about that. Garuru could directly transform into a mechanical mansion, which could easily solve this problem.

Entering the mechanical mansion, Mellen said to himself, "The timing is perfect."

A few hours later, under the guidance of an unknown force, a wisp of Melen's spiritual will entered the Council of Beasts.

Originally, Melen thought that if the Council of Beasts was opened during the hunting in the Misty Mountains, he would be able to divide his attention. Unexpectedly, the hunting went unexpectedly smoothly. Coincidentally, Vic also suggested resting outside for a while, which also prevented him from being absent-minded.

It was a familiar process. After the other members of the Council of Beasts had finished their discussions, Melen asked, "Will our Council of Beasts be sensed by some special ability, such as prophecy?"

Long, who had been watching the conversation, chuckled and said, "Don't worry, the Council of Beasts is at the edge of time and space in the starry universe. Aside from the vague power of fate, no one, whether it's prophecy or observing the long river of time, can interfere with the Council of Beasts."

Mellen nodded slightly and said, "I recently met a mechanical life form from the Sas Saint Clan and would like to learn more about it. Does anyone know any information about this Sas Saint Clan? I can pay you."

The cat said, "I seem to have some impression that the Sas Saint Clan was destroyed by another powerful mechanical civilization. How can you still meet someone from this clan? Are they scammers?"

The cat's seemingly unintentional words shocked Mellen's heart.

fraud?!!

Mellen turned this word in his mind and felt that it seemed possible. All his impressions of Lucas were limited to the latter's own account and Vic's indirect confirmation, but he had no way to confirm whether these were true or false.

Even in the only transaction, Lucas only offered some general technologies, and the reason given by the other party was very reasonable. Because of their sensitive identities, their unique technologies could not be used for trading.

I'm afraid that even if Melen wanted Lucas to produce evidence that he was a member of the Sas Saint Clan, the latter would not agree. The reason is simple. As the losers, they are being hunted down and have to act in secrecy.

Therefore, Melen actually couldn't really determine Lucas's true identity.

While Melen was thinking, the bear and the ox said they had never heard of the so-called Sas Holy Tribe, while the snake and the eagle remained silent.

Long said calmly, "I do know a little about the Sas Saint Clan. They were a mechanical civilization active six hundred years ago, and were quite powerful. Later, they fell out with a mechanical civilization called the Divine Machinery Temple, and the two sides waged a long war that lasted for hundreds of years. About a hundred years ago, the Sas Saint Clan was defeated by the Divine Machinery Temple. While they weren't completely wiped out, there are probably some remnants of the Sas Saint Clan who are being hunted by the Divine Machinery Temple."

After a brief moment of recollection, Long added, "It is said that the war between the Sas Saints and the Holy Temple of Divine Machinery was related to the promotion of the Mechanical God."

Mellen's pupils suddenly contracted.

Mechanical God? A seventh-order great being?!

Chapter 261 Departure

From Long's narration, Melen learned more about the Sas Holy Clan and the Temple of Divine Machinery.

During the heyday of the Sas Saint Clan, there were at least two mechanical demigods, and their influence spread across dozens of worlds, with tentacles in the void and the spirit world. Moreover, due to the characteristics of mechanical civilization, their war potential was quite astonishing.

Even now, there is only one mechanical demigod who has been found dead among the Sas Saints. At least one mechanical demigod is still alive, but his condition may not be very good.

Not to mention the Holy Temple of Divine Machinery, which was superior to the Holy Clan of Sass back then, and is only going to be stronger now than before.

After learning the general information about the two mechanical civilizations, Melen's thinking became clearer.

It doesn’t matter whether Lucas is a liar or not, because he is currently incapable of getting involved in the war between the Sas Saints and the Divine Machine Temple. This is not even a war, but a one-sided hunt.

Therefore, even if the Sass Saints offered Garuru a mechanical saint's body as a reward that would allow him to become a saint in a short period of time, Melen was not tempted.

What's more, there is the civilization contract with unknown terms as a restriction.

However, Lucas's line does not necessarily need to be disconnected.

If an ordinary person wins 10 million in the lottery, he may be coveted by many parties, but if a tens of millions or even a billionaire wins 10 million, it is just a few more numbers on his already huge wealth capital.

When Mellen's true strength reaches the saint level one day, perhaps he can plan for the reward from the Sass Saint Clan. The body of a saint of the same race as Garuru is still very tempting.

I believe that even if a civilization contract still needs to be signed at that time, the terms will be different from the one when Melen reached the legendary level.

After asking about the relevant information of the Sas Holy Clan, Melen kept silent. He actually wanted to know about the situation in the Peruvian world, but this question was too specific, so it was better not to mention it in the Council of Beasts for the time being.

Fortunately, there is still some time before the start of school this year. Even if he misses this year, the shelf life of the admission notice is three years, which is enough time for him to learn more about the Golden College.

After the meeting of the Council of Beasts, Mellen's spiritual will returned and he walked out of the Garuru mechanical mansion.

At this time, it was getting dark. Vic and others had finished their rest and were preparing food. Of course, it was basically Lucas who was doing it. His program recorded the cooking methods of many world cuisines, which was considered the level of a top chef. Vic was helping on the side, and as for Xinko, he seemed to be... making trouble.

It is worth mentioning that although Lucas has a mechanical body, he also has simulation functions and can absorb energy from food by eating.

While enjoying the sumptuous meal, the few of them also summed up the gains and losses of this hunt, and their level of tacit understanding became even stronger.

Next, they went deep into the Yunwu Mountains to hunt the Fiery Demon Snake and the Purple Gold Insect Swarm.

The former is also at the peak of legend. Although its defense is not as good as the Dark Lizard Dragon, it is superior in flexibility and attack ability. The purple-gold insect swarm is even more powerful, with millions of them, and they have a characteristic that even ordinary purple-gold insects can easily penetrate the defense of legendary strongmen. Legendary-level purple-gold insects are stronger.

The Fiery Demon Snake also took three days. As for the Purple Gold Bugs, they certainly didn't want to destroy the entire swarm, but to hunt down at least ten legendary individuals among them. Due to various arrangements and tugs of war, it took a total of twelve days.

At this point, the hunting training in the Misty Mountains was declared over, and Melen and his party returned to Blue Crystal City leisurely.

According to Vic, there are still a few days before the secret place of the spirit world is opened, so they can relax a little.

Melen had no idea what others were doing. He took advantage of the fact that the exchange meeting was still going on and started shopping on Taobao, purchasing a large number of various extraordinary items that he could use.

There was no other way around it. At Mellen's current level, there weren't many dogs he could catch his eye. They were either very powerful or had deep backgrounds, and it was not something Mellen could easily raise. So he set his sights on the blood fusion ability of the wolf-shaped pendant.

Relying on the different combinations of various bloodlines, Melen believes that one day he will be able to create a powerful dog that suits his wishes.

However, in order to conduct relevant experiments, a large amount of extraordinary blood is needed, and cultivating those molded dogs requires even more extraordinary things.

At present, Melen has endowed many dogs with extraordinary powers through blood fusion, but the subsequent potential of these dogs still needs further verification. They now live in the fairy tale kingdom and are taken care of by special people.

It is worth mentioning that because Melen is accompanied by a dog every day in the fairy tale kingdom, as the saying goes, "leaders lead by example", the trend of keeping pets has now been promoted throughout the kingdom.

At present, the Paw Patrol has an absolute upper hand, but the Cat Patrol, the Bunny Patrol, and many strange and bizarre fairy-tale pets are also flourishing. Various dog cafes and cat cafes are emerging in an endless stream, and the number of fairy-tale buildings related to pets is gradually increasing.

Mellen is naturally happy to see this happen.

After several days of shopping on Taobao, although Mellen had spent most of his cash, he also gained a lot.

When there were only ten days left before the exchange meeting, Vic summoned Mellen and the others again and said solemnly, "According to the data from the secret treasure, the secret place of the spirit world is about to return from the void. It's almost time for us to set off."

Xin Ke said eagerly: "I can't wait."

Vic solemnly warned, "Don't be careless. This time our opponents may not only be the monsters and dangers in the secret places of the spirit world."

Xin Ke asked confusedly, "What do you mean?"

Vic said, "The return of the secret place in the spirit world this time has caused quite a stir and may attract the attention of many spirit world tribes."

Lucas asked, "Didn't you say this was your exclusive information? I thought we were the only ones who entered the secret place of the spirit world."

Vic smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Based on the information I've dug up... well, who can really say for sure about this kind of thing?"

"Originally, when the secret places in the spiritual world return to the spiritual world under the influence of the tide of rules, it will only cause unrest in some areas. Unless it is at a very close distance, only certain secret treasures can detect it."

"But this time, after the detection of the secret treasure, the volume of the spiritual world's secret place has increased abnormally and alarmingly, so the commotion caused will be unexpectedly large, and I'm afraid it can't be concealed."

Vic exhaled and said, "Since this was my intelligence error, you can choose again whether to explore the secret place in the spirit world. I understand even if you don't want to go."

Everyone fell silent, each thinking about their own things.

But the silence didn't last long. Xin Ke was the first to break it, laughing and saying, "Isn't it just a competitor? It's such an interesting thing, how can I not go!"

Lucas asked, "What if a Saint-level expert comes in? If it involves a battle between Saints, wouldn't we be committing suicide if we go?"

Xinke's expression froze, and Mellen nodded slightly. This was what he wanted to ask.

Vic said, "Don't worry about that. The Spirit World's Secret Land is a shattered place, filled with shattered holy domains and divine laws. It can't accommodate the power of a Saint. Even if a Saint enters it, they can't display power beyond the legendary level. Otherwise, there is a high probability that the Secret Land will collapse. At that time, even a Saint will be caught in the tide of rules and die."

"This is also the fundamental reason why, even though I obtained the secret treasure of detection by chance, I would not let the saint ancestor of my clan go out."

"According to the records I've collected, there have been precedents of people falling into that spiritual world secret place near a stable spiritual world node. Although it attracted a large number of spiritual world tribes to explore it at that time, no saints had ever directly entered it."

Mellen's eyes narrowed slightly. He didn't expect that there was such a restriction in the secret place of the spiritual world. You know, the reason why he is confident now is because he has the power to trigger a blow from a saint. Under this blow, legends are nothing but ants, and even saints have to retreat.

Now it seems that if he rashly uses the Saint's Attack without knowing the limitations of the secret place of the spiritual world, he might be the one who suffers in the end.

Xin Ke said dissatisfiedly: "There is such a restriction? Why didn't you say so earlier?!"

Vic didn't answer directly. Instead, he slowly scanned the four people, finally pausing briefly on Mellen, his eyes filled with meaning. Then he chuckled and said, "Sorry, this information is not important. I had planned to tell you in detail when we arrived at the secret place in the spirit world."

Xin Ke was suddenly speechless.

Mellen had some understanding. Just now, after Vic said that the power of saint level could not be used in the secret place of the spiritual world, not only he showed some abnormality, but the others did too. This meant that perhaps he was not the only one who could use the means of saint level.

Needless to say, Xinko comes from a saint family and seems to be a favored direct descendant. It is quite reasonable for him to possess the means of a saint.

If Lucas is really a member of the Sass Saint Clan, then given the current situation of the Sass Saint Clan, it is not surprising that the members who are able to move freely outside possess the means of a saint.

All we know about Tiana now is that she is from the Starlight Flower Clan, so it seems that her identity is not simple.

What really surprised Vic was Mellen, the teammate he initially recruited just to provide some free high-level cannon fodder, but it seemed that he was not simple at all and had a lot of secrets.

After this intentional or unintentional test, Vic didn't want to make his teammates feel uneasy, so he began to take the initiative to reveal all the relevant information about the secret place in the spiritual world.

Under Vic's leadership, several people entered the core area of ​​Blue Crystal City that belonged exclusively to the Blue Crystal Clan. Soon they came to a closed room guarded by multiple forces.

Vic said, "This is the teleportation array built by our Blue Crystal Clan. Although we can't use it to safely teleport to other worlds because Skywind Territory isn't a stable node yet, if we prepare the coordinates in advance, it's still possible to directly cross more than ten spiritual realms at once."

"Let's go."

Melen looked around the entire room and didn't find anything different. He thought that the Blue Crystal Clan must have made some arrangements to hide the key information.

As Vic finished speaking, violent spatial fluctuations began to flash in the room. After a ripple like water waves, several people disappeared.

Spatial teleportation through a teleportation array is completely different from traveling through a space-time rift or using one's own power to cross the world. It is more like connecting two points in different spaces, and then taking a step forward to enter a whole new world.

When Mellen came to his senses, he suddenly felt a sense of oppression. It was a kind of constraint from the rules. He looked around and there seemed to be nothing different, but there seemed to be a vague sense of dislocation.

They were in a cave at the moment, with a metal plate under their feet engraved with strange patterns. There were some instruments in the cave, and many Blue Crystal people were busy working.

Vic said: "This is a base established by our Blue Crystal Clan in the chaotic area."

He did not explain the purpose of the base, but directly asked a few people to leave. The other Blue Crystal Clan members in the base seemed not to see them and also ignored them.

After leaving the cave, Melen looked back and found that the cave had disappeared, and there was not even a trace of breath leaking out.

Melen looked at this so-called chaotic area of the spiritual world. At a glance, it felt no different from the Tianfeng Territory, but upon closer inspection, he could find that no matter whether it was animals or plants, or even the weak insects, there was a feeling of chaos and madness, and it was full of aggression.

In the forest not far away, some insects covered with spiky shells were gnawing on the bones of unknown animals. A strange bird with fangs on its beak swooped down, picked up an insect and chewed it. A vine broke through the air like a sword and pierced the strange bird directly. The blood spilled down and became nutrients for the plants below, and the corpse was eaten by more insects.

Vic said, "Let's go. We are still some distance away from the intersection of the Broken Lands."

Led by Vic, several people walked in a certain direction.

On the way, Vic explained in detail the terrain of the current chaotic area and several stable nodes nearby, so as to prevent them from getting lost accidentally and to help them find their way home.

You know, in the chaotic area of the spiritual world, it is very difficult to lock the world coordinates, so if you want to travel back and forth between the world and the spiritual world, you must at least be in a semi-stable spiritual world area.

They basically try to avoid the spiritual monsters they encounter along the way, and only kill them when absolutely necessary.

Led by Vic, they spent about a day and finally arrived at a huge valley.

Vic said, "This is it. According to the detection of the secret treasure, the Broken Land will intersect with the Spirit World here. We will just wait here. Even if other Spirit World tribes also sense it, it will take them several days to rush over. This is enough time for us to gain some advantages."

Lucas asked, "How long until the confluence of the Broken Lands?"
