Mu You and the three of them were walking on the streets of the city.
The layout of this city is very orderly. It is divided into countless areas with square main roads. Each area has many square streets branching out criss-cross. If you look at it from above, the layout of all streets and buildings , are all regular squares, symmetrical from front to back, left and right, no matter how you look at them, they look like works designed by a geometer with obsessive-compulsive disorder.
In addition, the most eye-catching thing in the city are the humanoid sculptures scattered among the buildings.
These sculptures are not statues of gods or heroes, but of ordinary residents who once lived in this city, wearing simple or luxurious clothes, doing various jobs, and full of fireworks.
The only similarity is that next to all the statues, there is a statue of a flying mount.
This is not difficult to understand. After all, this is a city in the sky, floating in the sky all year round. The residents living here must have a flying mount.
"Boss, which way are we going?" After resting for a while, Xiaoya's seasickness symptoms improved a lot. At this moment, she looked around curiously and asked Mu You.
"According to the direction on the map, we need to go straight to the west now... But this is the mirror world, so let's go to the east first..." Mu You thought for a while and said.
This place is said to be hidden in the 'reflection' of the Star Spirit World. Since the map of Dawn City is in the normal direction compared to the Evil Spirit Sea in the Star Spirit World, then when you come to this upside-down world, the order of the map should also be reversed. .
The three of them headed straight towards the main road heading east.
But after walking for a while, the three of them realized something was wrong. The initial website address is p://m.biquke.
"Have you been to this place before?" Xiaoya looked at the familiar environment around her and spoke with some uncertainty.
The buildings in this place seemed to be carved out of the same mold, giving them a sense of déjà vu, so Xiaoya was not sure whether the overly similar scene in front of her was the location she just passed by.
"I have been here before, and the layout of the building in front has changed." Lin Xue confirmed Xiaoya's guess and made some additions.
"It seems that the buildings here are changing all the time... No wonder we need a map..."
Mu You sighed. He had also discovered that the terrain here was like a moving maze. Every plot of land was constantly changing, so if you walked in one direction, you would just keep spinning in a certain range. , and can never get out.
This is also the meaning of the map: you must move in the specified order of the buildings marked on the map in order to get out of this maze.
And if there is no map, you need to try one road after another until you figure out the movement pattern of the land. If you are less lucky, it will take more than ten times as long to pass?
Of course, what is more troublesome than the map is the no-fly zone above our heads.
Mu You has already tried it. The flying spell cannot be used here, and flying creatures such as war eagles will be instantly killed by a strange energy as long as they are summoned.
This blocked their ability to observe the terrain from high altitude.
"Don't leave, just wait here." Mu You shook his head and decisively gave up the idea of continuing on his way.
Instead of wandering around like a headless fly, it would be better to wait here for the emperor's people to appear, and then follow them to move through faster.
The two of them had no objection, and the three of them found a hidden location near the entrance lake and hid.
About ten minutes later, in the lake ahead, the water surged, and a dozen boats of various types surfaced one after another.
The appearance of these ships is in tatters, and they rely solely on magic to maintain their structure, otherwise they will fall apart in minutes.
Soon, a large number of people came ashore from the ships and gathered on the shore.
"There are so many people..." Mu You was secretly speechless.
There were at least six to seven hundred people present on the shore at this moment, and judging from their movement patterns, at least two-thirds of them were entities who came in personally through the door.
Mu You was not surprised by this.
According to the analysis data of a previous survey post on the forum, the existing 'doors' on the earth are basically evenly distributed geographically. Within every 10 million square kilometers, there are about 50 doors.
According to this rule, the total number of 'doors' on the earth should be about 2,500. However, since many doors appear in the ocean and have not yet been discovered, the number of doors that have actually been mastered by humans is about 1,000.
However, major forces around the world have announced that the total number of "doors" confirmed to exist is only more than 300.
In other words, there are still quite a few gates that have not been announced. A few of them are gates that are in private hands like Mu You, but most of them are gates that are used as trump cards by major forces and are kept secret.
For example, the dragon group claims to have only two doors, but the actual number is definitely much more than this. Moreover, in an emergency, they can also 'borrow' doors from allied forces. Mu You believes that if the country really needs it, it is not difficult to raise double-digit loans at any time.
This is also the reason why Mu You revealed to the Blood Emperor that he had a door before, but the Dragon Team and the Abnormality Bureau did not ask any questions after that. On the one hand, it is because the binding mechanism of the door basically locks the identity of the person entering the door; on the other hand, the door is really not a scarce resource for the real top forces.
Therefore, Mu You is not surprised at all that a force like the Divine Right of Kings, one of the top ten forces in the world, can mobilize more than five doors.
Getting back to the topic, they watched hundreds of people on the shore begin to move toward the city. The three of them followed behind them hurriedly and calmly.
There is also a very troublesome problem in this city, which is that it will exclude non-fools, resulting in the remains of Vivian and Lin Xue's grandma being unable to be used here. Otherwise, just pull up two legendary-level shell-driving shells, and the human sea tactics on the opposite side are pure. It belongs to floating clouds.
Now, all I can do is stay cowardly and grow up.
A group of people were walking quickly through the city in front of them, along a winding road, and the direction of travel was quite clear. This was the benefit of having a map.
Mu You and the others did not dare to get too close, and hung far behind.
Fortunately, Mu You had used the Kaitou skin to lock the fragment on the emperor's body before. Now he can sense the location of the fragment at any time and will not lose it because of the distance.
But just after following two streets, Mu You suddenly felt that the position of the fragment changed and it turned in a new direction at an extremely fast speed.
Mu You hurriedly caught up and saw that the huge crowd in front was still moving forward normally, but the fragment was taken in the completely opposite direction by someone unknown.
"The other party divided their forces. They probably realized that we were following us and moved the fragments away..." Mu Youyou said.
"Oh?" Lin Xue also quickly understood what the other party meant: This was forcing them to make a choice, chasing the fragments or continuing to follow the large army. There was only one way to choose.
"Which way are you chasing?" Lin Xue asked.
"Fragments!" Mu You made the decision without much hesitation.
Of course he knew that the purpose of the person who took away the fragments was to lure him away. He would definitely not follow the map honestly and would probably take a side road.
But no matter what, the fragments themselves are genuine. He has already snatched nine fragments. The opponent only has one, three or six fragments left. No matter which one he grabs, he can use it.
As Mu You and the other three walked away, silence fell completely near the entrance.
But what neither party noticed was that shortly after everyone left, an octopus foot several hundred meters long quietly surfaced in the lake at the entrance.
After struggling in the water for a few seconds, countless suckers squirmed on the surface of the octopus's feet and swam to the shore.
After it completely climbed ashore, a gap opened in the middle of the octopus's foot, and an eye grew out of it. It swayed from side to side and looked at the surrounding environment.
After scanning for a few minutes, the octopus legs suddenly coiled up on the spot like a snake, squeezed inward crazily, and squeezed into a ball of flesh. Finally, they suddenly exploded and turned into countless small octopuses the size of a palm.
The densely packed octopuses were like maggots, piled up on the streets to form hills, and then quickly dispersed in all directions, climbing toward the streets in the city...
Mu You didn't know what happened at the entrance. At this moment, he was chasing the fragment with all his strength, because the expiration time of the appointment letter was coming soon. He had to catch up with the other party as soon as possible and grab the fragment. Otherwise, he would have to give a new appointment letter. , remain locked.
After chasing for more than twenty minutes, Mu You finally caught up with the figure in front of him.
However, the scene that caught his eye made him a little surprised.
The only person carrying the fragments was a young man with blond hair and blue eyes. He was not followed by any teammates, and the ID above his head was very clear: Emperor.
At this moment, the other party may have felt that they had taken them far enough away, so they did not continue to run away, and stopped beside a stone sculpture, waiting for them to approach.
Mu You walked closer and checked it with the omniscient crystal.
[The favored son of heaven, level 20 (evolved): strength 45, agility 65, intelligence 68, constitution 51, health 10500, magic value 8800, current skin: Word Spirit Divine Envoy. 】
Judging from this attribute, it should indeed be the emperor's true body, not some clone.
"I have to say, you are quite brave. You actually dared to lure us here single-handedly." Mu You walked slowly past, and Lin Xue walked to the other side with a sickle in hand.
As for Xiaoya, her own combat power is far behind, but she also holds a fragment in her hand to prevent being suppressed by others, and she can immediately summon a large number of summoned creatures to protect herself.
The three of them gradually formed a siege, blocking each other's retreat.
"Because I need to confirm the strength of several people with my own eyes. Bringing others here will interfere with my judgment." The emperor turned a blind eye to the actions of the three people and spoke without changing his expression, stating his purpose quite honestly.
"Oh? Then you are not afraid of being outed and being completely left here by the two of us Legends?" Mu Youyou.
"I still have some confidence in saving my life."
The emperor didn't say much, but he showed strong confidence in his words: "In addition, I actually don't think that your current Excellency has reached the legendary level."
"Then you guessed wrong, I am truly a legend!" Mu Youyou.
The emperor didn't mean to argue. He took out a map fragment from his body and showed it to Mu You: "The fragment is here. If you have the ability, come and take it away."
Mu You rushed forward and launched an attack.
The opponent made it clear that they wanted to test his strength and were waiting for him to take action, but the fragments were already in front of him, so it was impossible not to grab them, so it was better to fight quickly.
Mu You's magic wand moved together, and he shot out several wind blades from his first hand.
Facing the invisible wind blade, the emperor did not dodge or avoid it. It was not until he was about to hit that he suddenly said: "Obstacle!"
"Bang bang..."
In a series of crisp collision sounds, the wind blade seemed to have hit some kind of invisible wall, and was eliminated in front of the emperor without hurting him at all.
Mu You didn't care, and after taking action, he was shaken out of the dark world on the spot.
It is already late at night, and the bonus cost of the vampire skin is already close to the maximum. The purpose of using the dark world here is mainly to block the opponent's line of sight.
The effect of the Dark Realm is more effectively deprived of light the closer it is released to midnight.
The darkness of the sky instantly enveloped the surrounding area for several miles, making it completely impossible to see anything within the area.
Mu You, Lin Xue and Xiao Ya all have night vision training from forest elves and can ignore this darkness. This is an absolute home field advantage.
However, before this home field advantage could come into play, the three of them heard one word clearly uttered from the surrounded emperor's mouth: "Light!"
The emperor's body was instantly illuminated by white light, but the light did not spread out. Instead, it formed a sphere with a radius of about three meters with him as the center.
The inside of the circle was as bright as day, but outside the circle, it was still pitch black.
When the white light lit up, Lin Xue's attack had already arrived first, and the sickle slashed at the emperor from behind.
But the emperor seemed to have eyes in his back. Just as the tip of the knife was about to come, he uttered one more word: "Dodge."
His body suddenly twisted into an incredible angle, narrowly avoiding the blade.
Lin Xue slashed the air with her sword, and at the same time as she was releasing her force, she heard another word from the emperor: "Needle!"
Countless tiny bone spurs suddenly appeared around Lin Xue, stabbing towards Lin Xue like thousands of arrows piercing his heart.
At this time, the escape route was blocked. No matter how fast Lin Xue was, it was too late to dodge. Her scarlet cloak could only block one blow due to the cooling effect. She was helpless in the face of such a range of intensive attacks.
Fortunately, just when the bone spur was about to hit, Mu You remotely supported a life barrier.
The next second, countless white thorns pricked her. Lin Xue was covered in blood and her life was declining rapidly. However, under the lit life barrier, she maintained her last bit of life and hurriedly exited the range of the white light.
The emperor did not chase him out, but stayed in the center of the white light, looking around him warily.
"Yan Ling?"
Mu You frowned. This man's fighting style made him realize that the name of the skin he just saw was "Word Spirit Divine Envoy". It seemed that it was really a spirit-like ability, and it could be realized immediately as long as it was spoken.
Of course, the actual effect is not that terrible. The opponent's speech spirit obviously has huge limitations.
The first is scope. Judging from the spherical white light, the opponent's speech spirit should only be effective within a three-meter radius.
Secondly, the word spirit also consumes magic power, and the consumption is directly proportional to the content of the word spirit. The more powerful the word spirit effect, the stronger the consumption. If the magic power is not enough, it cannot be activated.
This is why when Lin Xue entered the Emperor's attack range just now, the Emperor did not directly tell her to 'die', because such a statement of direct death was too outrageous, and the magic power consumed would definitely far exceed his upper limit. , so only ordinary attacks can be used to indirectly complete the kill.
The opponent's ability seems scary at first glance, but since it has shortcomings, it's much easier to deal with.
Mu You first tried to release a 'throat seal' on the other party. Since he was a 'speaking' spirit, as long as he was not allowed to speak, it was naturally the most direct way to target him.
There is no way for Yan Ling to dodge this directional spell such as Throat Seal and Lock Tongue, and he successfully hits it as soon as he takes action.
But what I didn't expect was that a voice came from the emperor's side: "Excuse me!"
Then the effect of the throat lock tongue was lifted.
Mu You heard it clearly. The sound did not come from the emperor's mouth, but from his body. It was probably some kind of magical vocal ability that could bypass the vocal cords. It was right to think about it. The other party knew the shortcomings of his ability and would definitely Find out in advance.
"Don't get close to the opponent, use long-range attacks, and attack with all your strength!"
Mu You said something to the two of them, and then launched an attack, firing out fireballs and wind blades one after another.
Since you can't stop the other party from speaking, you can only use it up. When there is magic power, the other party's ability is almost invincible, but as long as the magic power is used up, the speech spirit will naturally destroy itself.
