Today’s first update: Chapter 140, 0:03 on the 27th, wait for me to code another chapter!
…
The small raft sailed on the calm sea, drifting slowly. In this quiet atmosphere, those who didn't know it thought it was in the windless area of the normal level difficulty, rather than in the crisis-ridden storm area!
Zhan Rourou tried to use her light skills to dispel the heavy fog that was blocking the sky, but after several times, even the large-scale SS-level skill [Bright Light] was used, but there was still no effect at all!
"Don't bother!" Xu Kun shook his head: "This white mist can't be dispelled!"
Zhan Rourou frowned and said unwillingly: "It shouldn't be. Although our level has not reached level 10 and our special attributes have not been awakened, my light attribute attack can't overcome heavy fog like this!"
Xu Kun smiled and said: "General fog can naturally be dispelled by your light attribute attacks, but the heavy fog in the second half of the storm area is not naturally formed!"
"Ang?" Zhan Rourou's face was full of surprise.
Xu Kun pursed his lips and said: "It is normal for fog to exist on the sea, but it can cover such a large area and persist for many years. In the past, thousands of people have struggled to find the answer. Looking through history, they discovered that after the initial storm area Half of the way, there is no such a large area of fog!”
"So since it is not naturally formed, there is only one way to say that it is man-made!"
"Man-made!" Zhan Rourou covered her mouth: "Who can have such great ability?"
"Besides an SSS-level trialist among all races, who else do you think can create the fog of the entire ocean by oneself?"
Zhan Rourou didn't notice that Xu Kun was talking about SSS-level trialists, not SSS-level racial monsters!
"Throughout the ages, there have been many SSS-level talents, but very few have died young. To be precise, those who 'died' on this fourth level, it seems that the answer is not that hard to find!"
"It is said that there was a great figure from the Jiao Clan with the ID of Mirage. In that session, Mirage, an SSS-level talent from the Jiao Clan, won the first place on the gold list in the Novice Trial for the Jiao Clan for the first time. Just when the Jiao Clan was looking forward to it, they didn’t expect that there was no news about the mirage after entering the fourth level!”
Xu Kun said in a deep voice.
"Dead...dead?" Zhan Rourou found it difficult to accept.
"It's strange, isn't it? Such races as the dragon race, dragon race, and snake-like anaconda race, these races are born with the ability to control water, but Haotian Tower is also fair. Races like these are not allocated ships. They rely on Cross the sea in the flesh!”
"Generally speaking, these races with natural advantages can easily cross windless areas. Even strong wind areas have little impact on them. As for this storm area, it only has the tornado group we just experienced. It will put their lives in danger!"
"And this is only based on the ordinary trialists of these races, such as SSS-level talents. Not only can they easily cross the sea, but with their strength, it is very difficult for them to die!"
"Most of the SSS-level talents who died in the storm area were some landlubbers. They were not killed in battle, but drowned after the ship was destroyed!"
"For someone like Mirage, who debuted at the top of the gold list, has high hopes from the entire Jiao Clan, and has no shortage of means to save his life, but such a talented person disappeared in the fourth level in an outrageous manner!"
"It seems not very scientific!" Zhan Rourou frowned.
Xu Kun nodded, looked at the foggy sky and said, "What's more important is that since He unexpectedly disappeared, the second half of the entire storm area has become extremely dangerous!"
"His abilities are not known to all races, but my human race once had an SSS-level talent who suffered greatly from it. He wandered around in the fog, and finally bypassed the tornado group behind him and returned. Arrived at the shore!”
Zhan Rourou's expression became strange. It seemed like she had heard this story somewhere before!
Xu Kun smiled: "Yes, it is our human race's God of Light, Odin!"
Zhan Rourou was suddenly discouraged. Even Odin, the God of Light, was lost in this fog. What ability did he have to dispel this fog?
But Xu Kun's next words refreshed Zhan Rourou's spirits.
"Odin, the God of Light, is the first person so far to have seen the true appearance of the mirage. It was also he who confirmed the suspicions of all races about the source of the mist after successfully traveling through the storm area!"
"God of Light...have you ever seen a mirage?" Zhan Rourou's eyes suddenly widened.
Xu Kun nodded, very sure.
"There's an unverified story you want to hear?"
"Is it about the God of Light Odin and Mirage?" Zhan Rourou suddenly became energetic.
Xu Kun nodded: "Just like you just did, trying to use light to dispel the fog. As an SSS-level light talent, the God of Light may be even more dissatisfied with the fog blocking his sight!"
"So, a battle of wits started between him and Mirage!"
"According to what the predecessors said, fog is just a common method of mirage. Mirage also has another trick, called mirage!"
"Mirage..." Zhan Rourou murmured.
"Use the fog in the sky to create a false scene, and then make people mistakenly think that they have reached the other shore, but in the end the direction the ship is heading is the undercurrent that goes deep into the seabed, and the rocks that can crash the ship!"
"What's worse, he threw himself into a trap and entered an area where some powerful race monsters are hovering, and died for it!"
"Those who have encountered a mirage are rarely able to survive, because you can't tell whether it is an illusion or reality!"
"This resulted in many people being completely lost in the second half of the storm area!"
"Mirage seems to like playing tricks on people, so some people speculate that the God of Light's attempt to disperse the fog attracted the mirage's attention!"
"For this reason, Mirage displayed his unique skills. Although the God of Light was not in danger like the others, he was eventually sent back to the shore by one move!"
Zhan Rourou:...
Is this rumor reliable?
But not to mention, it makes sense logically. The first half of the storm area is not very dangerous, the middle section is the area where tornadoes are raging, and the second half is the area of fog and traps!
Lost in the mist, it was back to the middle section at most, but Odin, the God of Light, unexpectedly returned to the shore!
Other than being cast by [Mirage] and misjudging the direction, there is no better explanation!
However, how can I personally prove the dark history of the Lord of the Human Race, which makes this an unsolved case?
"But you said that the God of Light is the only one who has seen the true appearance of Mirage?" Zhan Rourou asked.
Xu Kun nodded: "This is what he said himself, and he left a relatively illusory photo. After confirmation by the Jiao clan, it was determined that this was the original genius of their clan!"
"This doesn't make sense. I, the Lord of the Human Race, met the fallen genius of the Jiao Clan, and the two of them had a battle of wits instead of a life-and-death fight?" Zhan Rourou said in surprise.
"Who said there was only one battle? And who said that the mirage fell?" Xu Kun said jokingly.
Zhan Rourou was stunned for a moment.
"The first fight ended with the God of Light being defeated and sent back to the shore. In the second fight, the God of Light did not misjudge the direction and became the only one who could see the mirage's true appearance!"
"But according to his description, there was no fight between the two parties!"
"Just imagine, under normal circumstances, racial monsters all have red names. Facing invaders, they can only fight to the death. This is in line with the rules of Haotian Tower!"
"But Mirage's various behaviors are like a playful child. Although he has used fog and mirage to cause the death of batches of trialists, he has never personally hunted down a trialist. News from the author!"
"Of course, it is possible that no one has survived from the mirage, but based on the deeds of Odin, the God of Light, I believe in another theory, the mirage is not dead!"
Gudu!
Zhan Rourou swallowed hard. Why did she selectively believe in such a outrageous thing?
The SSS-level prodigy from the Jiao Clan is alive and well in the boundless sea?
Haven't been out in hundreds of years?
Picture what?
"The second half of the waterway is hailed as an impassable waterway by all races. It is precisely because of the fog that persists all year round and the mirage that may appear at any time. It is already full of crises, and if you misjudge the direction, you will die. The probability is infinitely close to 100%!”
Hearing Xu Kun's words, Zhan Rourou's delicate body trembled and she got a little closer to Xu Kun: "Do you think it's possible for us to encounter a mirage?"
Xu Kun smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, I'm here!"
To be honest, Xu Kun is quite curious about the existence of mirage, because based on various external conditions, there is a high chance that mirage is not dead!
There is no time limit to cross the boundless sea, especially in this storm area. As long as the crossing is successful, it will be the highest level score!
As for how long you want to stay in this boundless sea, it all depends on your own mood. Generally speaking, who wants to stay in this boundless sea full of crises?
Not to mention Xu Kun's curiosity about this question, people who know something about Mirage's deeds are trying to decipher it, but no one can answer this question so far!
"With Uncle Yang's ability to see into the world, will he be able to discern something?" Xu Kun speculated.
In the second half of the sea shrouded in fog, Xu Kun also slowed down the raft, maintained a constant speed, and constantly adjusted its direction according to his intuition.
What makes him strange is that he has not seen one of the numerous racial monsters that are feared by trialists of all races!
Is this good luck or bad luck?
Xu Kun felt like crying, but his intuition told him that the instinct of a child of destiny and destiny to seek good luck and avoid evil allowed his humble little raft to avoid areas occupied by tyrannical racial monsters!
As the saying goes, good fortune always comes with misfortune. After sailing for more than an hour, despite the heavy fog blocking the view, Xu Kun's small raft still did not encounter any danger!
Zhan Rourou, who was originally nervous, relaxed her tense nerves at this moment. She felt that the second half of the voyage was much more comfortable than the previous one, and she no longer had to experience Xu Kun's violent driving!
Thinking of the scene where Xu Kun took her flying in the sky, her heart was still pounding. She never wanted to try that kind of ultimate experience again in her life!
After relaxing, he suddenly felt sleepy: "Xu Kun, I'm a little sleepy!"
Xu Kun didn't care. After experiencing repeated damage, the small raft was no longer large enough to support two people lying down. He motioned for Zhan Rourou to sit down and lent her a shoulder to lean on.
I continue to choose the direction to sail!
Although his instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages may make his plan for this trip a failure, but compared to putting himself in danger to find racial monsters, Xu Kun feels that it is better to sail out of the boundless sea steadily!
Looking at the energy value, I have spent more than five hours in the boundless sea, and the energy value is only less than 20 points!
If he hasn't reached the other shore in more than an hour, he will have to wait another twenty hours!
"Hmm, haven't we arrived yet?" Rocking along the small raft, Zhan Rourou slept very soundly.
He rubbed his sleepy eyes, stretched out with satisfaction, and displayed his perfect figure in front of Xu Kun's eyes.
Xu Kun swallowed hard and quickly looked away.
"Hey, hey, hey, Xu Kun, look, is that the other side?"
Suddenly, Zhan Rourou stood up, pointed forward and shouted.
Xu Kun was stunned, looked in the direction Zhan Rourou was pointing, blinked, and indeed saw the looming coastline in the fog!
Just when Zhan Rourou was excited, Xu Kun suddenly came back to his senses, and his intuition told him that that direction was wrong!
"Rourou, that's a lie!" Xu Kun grabbed Zhan Rourou.
"Ang? How could it be fake?" Zhan Rourou's face was startled: "Is it a mirage?"
"Not sure, but I'm sure it's fake!"
After saying that, without waiting for Zhan Rourou's reply, Xu Kun fired several skills into the sail, causing the raft to move quickly and move in the right direction according to his intuition.
After a while, the coastline that just appeared in front of the two people disappeared, and it was still a vast expanse of white.
"We...have we escaped the mirage?"
Xu Kun was silent. He was sure that the two of them were noticed by the mirage!
So, if you choose not to believe the illusion He arranged, will He take the next step?
The two of them were silent, continuing to stay in the fog, which made them feel a little depressed.
Zhan Rourou constantly mixed basic attacks and skills, driving the sails to keep the small raft moving at a constant speed, while Xu Kun controlled the direction. Another hour passed without any accidents.
Just as Xu Kun was deciding what to do next, Zhan Rourou beside him made a strange sound.
"Um...are you here? Isn't it good?"
"No...no, I definitely love you!"
"But……"
"Okay, if you want it, I'll give it to you!"
"Don't be unhappy. I will depend on you. I will depend on you. Aren't I afraid that I will encounter danger here?"
Xu Kun turned around and saw Zhan Rourou talking to herself in the air. As she spoke, her face turned red with shyness.
"Zhan Rourou, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Zhan Rourou turned a deaf ear, pinched the corner of her clothes, slowly raised her head, and kissed the air. Xu Kun was dumbfounded by this scene.
"Well... be gentle, I am yours, I will be yours forever!"
"Just do it yourself...okay!"
Zhan Rourou continued to talk to herself, then reached for her robe and untied the belt. The robe slipped off, revealing the ice muscles and jade bones inside!
puff!
Xu Kun's nose instantly felt itchy and he almost had a nosebleed!
Immediately afterwards, Zhan Rourou was seen squatting down slowly, with a shy look and a hint of expectation, her fingers waving in front of her face, not knowing what she was doing!
Suddenly, Xu Kun didn't care to stare at Zhan Rourou's figure. He quickly stood up, came to Zhan Rourou, and grabbed her hand: "Zhan Rourou, please wake up!"
Zhan Rourou continued her actions as if she couldn't hear him. She looked a little green and clumsy. This scene of wanting to welcome and refusing made Xu Kun's blood boil.
But no matter how much he pulled Zhan Rourou, Zhan Rourou remained unmoved. Seeing that she was about to lose the last layer of barrier, Xu Kun wanted to watch, but he knew he couldn't!
"Mirage, is it your fault? Stop it!"
The sound was heard in the mist, and there was not even a trace of echo.
Xu Kun was angry and hugged Zhan Rourou tightly with one hand, not giving her a chance to take the next step. While looking around in the fog, his eyelids suddenly jumped and he locked in a direction and drove the small raft towards that place. .
Not long after, Xu Kun's expression suddenly changed, because in the fog, a giant warship covered in messes and weathering stood in front of him.
Following the current, it was moving towards him, and was about to collide with him. Xu Kun was about to let the small raft take off on the spot, when he suddenly made a movement and threw an [Explosive Flame Bomb] forward tentatively!
As expected, the explosive bomb failed, passed through the battleship, and fell into the fog, without a single spark appearing!
"It's a mirage again!" Xu Kun's scalp went numb, and he drove the small raft over with his eyes closed until the battleship completely disappeared from sight. Xu Kun was still in the vast white mist!
Zhan Rourou, who was hugged by him, was furious at the moment, her arms were clamped by her, and she kept saying strange and thought-provoking words. When she couldn't get angry, she bit Xu Kun's arm.
Xu Kun looked livid and continued to move in the direction he had determined.
And for the next scene he saw, even though Xu Kun was mentally prepared, his expression still changed drastically.
"Brother, take Zhan Rourou down. She has her heart set on you. Look at her like this. As long as you ask her, she will do anything!"
The surrounding environment turned into his own cozy cabin, and the person making the mean voice in front of him was none other than the fat Hao Jian!
At this moment, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows at him!
But the next moment, Hao Jian's expression changed, and he seemed to have left. Instead, he came to Xu Kun angrily, pointing at the half-clothed and soft Yang Yao in Xu Kun's arms.
Yang Yao was so angry that she was shaking all over, her eyes were red and she said: "Xu Kun, you let me down so much!"
"Since you want to be good to her, don't contact me again!"
"Yao Yao, me!" Xu Kun was about to reach out and touch Yang Yao, but Yang Yao's figure instantly disappeared.
Xu Kun's breathing became rapid, and various pictures continued to appear in front of his eyes.
On that day, Ao Guang flooded the south of the Yangtze River, and no one came forward. The flood eventually engulfed the base city of the south of the Yangtze River. He and his mother were separated in the torrential floods. When they saw each other again, he only saw his mother's body!
Uncle Yang pulled Yang Yao, whose eyes were red, and stood in front of him, with a face full of disappointment and disgust. Finally, Qian Manlou took action himself and put the shackles on himself!
asphyxia!
Even though he knew it was an illusion, Xu Kun still felt tightness in his chest and his breathing stopped!
Icebergs, giant wheels, powerful racial monsters...all kinds of bizarre scenes appeared one after another. Xu Kun couldn't ignore this scene that seemed like he was in a science fiction movie even if he wanted to!
Simply, Xu Kun closed his eyes, increased the power of the small raft, and followed his intuition, diving headlong into the fog!
I don’t know how long it took, but my intuition told Xu Kun that the destination had arrived!
Just when Xu Kun slowly opened his eyes, a surprised voice sounded.
"Huh? Little brother, you are not affected?"
