"Okay, let's continue the search." Seeing that his purpose of releasing coercion had been achieved, Ryan withdrew the terrifying power that made the surrounding monsters restless, and ordered the beholder pet in a very calm tone to let it Continuing to direct the surrounding corpses of resurrected monsters to busy with the unfinished task, watching the beholder showing off its power on the shoulders of the demon ape, Ryan was secretly guessing about the whole thing, because he signed a soul contract. Because of the beholder, Macaluan can no longer hide anything from Ryan, so Ryan has seen things about it by looking through the soul and memory of the beholder. Unfortunately, he can hardly find anything useful.
The only thing that can be determined now is that this beholder was not born with a demon ape. Unfortunately, the memory of this process was wiped out by a powerful force. Ryan had no way to save it. For its recovery, unless he uses prophecy to directly go back to that time, it is impossible to know what happened at that time. Prophecy and wishing are two completely different spells. Ryan knows almost nothing about the former, even if he wants to use his lifespan Even if I try to fight, I have nowhere to start.
After searching for a long time, the beholder pet finally found the entrance to the portal, which was under a huge rock. It only recalled it after it found that the surrounding environment was unusually familiar after arriving nearby. The beholder pet has the innate ability to forcibly break even Ryan's invisibility spell. Naturally, it is impossible not to see that the huge rock is illusory at all. The real portal is actually covered up by this realistic illusion. When the beholder pet horse After Caluan used his eyeballs to release rays to eliminate the illusion in front of him, a complete portal was revealed in front of Ryan.
Without the obstruction of the outside illusion, Ryan can clearly see the huge difference between the teleportation gate and the surrounding environment. The terrain on the first floor of the mist cave is diverse, but it is impossible to have a complete metal magic circle. This kind of teleportation The door magic array has good pro-magic properties, which is best illustrated by the large number of magic runes engraved on it. However, the metal used to make the magic array is not mithril or a variety of metals known to Ryan. With this discovery, Ryan I feel that the enchantment master who created the portal should not be a resident of another world. Otherwise, just collecting the materials for a portal would involve crossing many planes and taking a lot of time.
Although the materials are different, the magical principles of the portal are the same. They are all designed to tear apart the barriers formed by space energy and allow the user to appear in another place after getting rid of the constraints of time or space. Ryan was very interested in studying the magic system that he had never seen before, but it was obviously not a good time to do so right now, so after Ryan completely imprinted the entire portal magic array, he immediately waved to the side. A monster with the strongest body,
This monster, which looks very much like a beetle, has been killed by Ryan, and the corpse was resurrected under the influence of undead magic to join Ryan's team. Ryan chose this alien beetle as his target because he was interested in it. It has strong defense. After this alien beetle, which is bigger than a hound in the human world, crawls in front of Ryan, Ryan stretches out his fingers and starts to draw its defensive magic circle on the hard carapace on the back of the beetle, crossing a The portal with unknown purpose is quite a risky move. Even if there is a precedent of the beholder pet Macaluan, Ryan will never act rashly. He would rather alert the guardian or other domain monsters on the opposite side of the portal, but he must use it first. Try this pioneer on hand once, otherwise Ryan would rather give up the next plan and action. He is not like someone who accidentally got trapped in some kind of subspace from which he cannot escape, or stepped into a trap carefully laid by the enemy and was overpowered by countless advantages. Enemies surrounded and killed him,
After completing all the defensive magic arrays, Ryan did not stop. Instead, he continued to draw illusion magic arrays on the alien beetle's body. These would cover up his whereabouts as much as possible after the alien beetle passed through the portal. , after everything was ready, Ryan hesitated for a moment, and then placed a magic mark on the dead and resurrected alien beetle in front of him. Then he waved his hand and pointed at the quiet man not far away. In the portal magic circle, this alien beetle, which was bigger than a hound, quickly crawled over there.
When the alien beetle came to the portal magic array, a soft white light immediately rose from the magic array made of metal on the ground. The alien beetle that entered the magic array rose up from the ground in an instant, and then It quickly disappeared into the air about several meters above the magic circle. Such a simple transmission process made Ryan slightly suspicious, because the momentum and the fluctuation of mana were far lower than what he had expected. Ryan vaguely guessed something. After the transmission ended, a yellow halo immediately appeared around the portal magic array. Then the light gradually condensed into an entity and became a huge rock. The portal was once again Once hidden under illusion,
"This method is really good." After seeing this, Ryan couldn't help nodding and praising him. After the transmission, he quickly activated another illusion magic circle to ensure that the entire magic circle was not exposed to outsiders' sight, but Ryan But he couldn't understand how the very rapid and short-term changes in the teleportation process just now were achieved. If it weren't for this prerequisite, if the teleportation process was similar to Zolnimo's large-scale ultra-long-distance teleportation, even if dozens of knots were superimposed on the outside, The world can't even think of covering up the violent mana fluctuations in the air and the strong light rising into the sky. In addition, what effect can such a small illusion play
While Ryan was still thinking about how this portal magic array could cover up the mana fluctuations and light that appeared during the teleportation process, the huge rock previously condensed by the illusion suddenly appeared distorted, and then the realistic illusion immediately collapsed. The metal magic circle hidden inside was revealed, and then a group of white light appeared from above the magic circle, and quickly fell until it touched the magic circle on the ground before dissipating, and a familiar figure dispersed from there. Revealed in front of Ryan in the white light, it turned out to be the alien beetle that was teleported away from here not long ago.
Ryan raised his right hand, and a dim star appeared in the palm of his hand. Then dozens of stars and celestial bodies floated beside him, combining with each other to form a constellation pattern with strong defense. Before taking these precautions, After that, Ryan commanded the alien beetle that was teleported back and let it slowly approach him. After repeatedly checking that the magic mark on the alien beetle had not been tampered with, Ryan finally felt relieved. , at least this beetle returned so quickly, and it was definitely not discovered and used by some interested people. As for what happened after the alien beetle was teleported, Ryan left a back-up on the magic mark. As long as one Just check it and you will know.
Ryan softly chanted the magic spell to reactivate the magic mark on the alien beetle, and then a blurry picture appeared in front of him. Although the picture was a bit rough, the beholder pet standing aside was still loud. He shouted: "This is where Makaluan lived before. It was very narrow and there wasn't as much rich food as here. Makaluan didn't like this place."
Ryan ignored the yelling beholder pet, but carefully observed the content on the blurry screen. It was a quite huge space. Because the background was very difficult to identify, he couldn't see the space for a while. Where is it? However, you can clearly see rocks, sand, and dense jungles near the screen. This environment looks familiar to Ryan. It looks like he is in a lost place above the ground. What it looks like in a certain mountain range,
"Could it be that the opposite side of the portal is actually in the Lost Peak?" This idea immediately came to Ryan's mind. He thought it was a bit ridiculous to think so at first, but the more Ryan thought about it, the more he realized that this possibility was actually very real. Big, not to mention anything else, but the scale of the teleportation just now is still the time between the return journey, which is enough to show that the other end of the teleportation gate is not very far from the mist cave, and the defensive magic array on the alien beetle is intact. This has been verified. It is impossible that the space tearing force generated by long-distance teleportation will not cause certain signs of wear and tear on these magic barriers. The only explanation is that the transmission distance is very short, and the entire transmission process will be over before the space tearing force takes effect. ,
Ryan thought about it several times in his mind and found that his guess should be 70-80% reliable, so he naturally had the idea of stepping into the portal to find out. After experiencing the ruins of the Apocalypse Temple, After that strange space journey, Ryan gained a lot of experience on how to break through space defenses. He asked himself that it would not be easy to trap him with a trap under full alert. At least it would be impossible for enemies below demigods. As for demigods from other worlds or other planes who want to deal with Ryan, there is basically no need to use such methods. As long as the main body takes action personally, it will definitely gain the upper hand, so why bother to use some inferior tricks in a secretive manner
Of course, Ryan is confident, and there is no shortage of preparations that need to be made. The "spell chain" needs to be strengthened again, and the improved "spell activation" will also have the lava war hammer and other spells ready, ready to attack at any time. , as for Ryan's body, it is wrapped in hundreds of bright stars, forming a pair of armor purely woven from star power. If you want to sneak attack Ryan and destroy these star powers, you must first defeat the power contained inside. With his pseudo-divine power and the rejection of Ryan's laws of the star field, this buffer is enough to buy Ryan more time to react, so that he will not be caught off guard when facing a sneak attack. Finally, Ryan condenses a dense galaxy canopy spell in front of him. , with its protection, even if the demigod king really makes a sneak attack, Ryan can block a few attacks. As for the domain-level enemies, unless more than a dozen come together to attack at once, it is impossible to seriously injure or even kill Ryan. things,
After taking adequate defensive measures, Ryan walked towards the metal portal without hesitation. He did not say a word to greet the beholder pets around him, but the beholder named Macaluan complained in a low voice. After a few words, he hurriedly followed Ryan's footsteps. This slightly surprised Ryan, but he didn't say anything or even looked back. He just stepped into the metal portal magic circle and waited until After the soft light reappeared, Ryan's body, the resurrected corpse of the demon ape behind him, and the beholder Macaroan hiding in the demon ape's head "dissolved" in the light. middle,
The entire teleportation process was shorter than Ryan expected. He only felt that his eyes lit up and immediately returned to the original state. However, although the surrounding environment still seemed very dim, it was no longer as dim and full of intense energy as the fog cave. Magic energy, so Ryan dispersed his mental power a little, and then reflected the situation for several kilometers around him in his mind.
Just like what Ryan saw before, at the other end of the portal, it is still in a closed space. The surrounding environment is not much different from the Lost Peak, but it is extremely lacking in the breath of living things. Even when Ryan increased his detection intensity several times, he could not find any trace of the legendary creature. When his spiritual power continued to expand, it was suddenly blocked by some invisible force. , which surprised Ryan. He did not forcefully break through the barrier that blocked his mental detection, but released his mental power in other directions. Soon, he encountered a similar situation dozens of kilometers away. This shows that Ryan The environment we are in now roughly covers an area of 70 to 80 kilometers in radius. This area is extremely small compared to the foggy caves where we often have to walk for days and nights.
In addition to the small area, there is another puzzling thing about this area, that is, there are almost no particularly strong monsters. After Ryan's repeated detection, he only found a few eighth-level monsters, and there were more. The other ones are the fourth and fifth level herbivorous monsters, which are not a threat at all. It is incredible that such an environment can give birth to domain-level demon apes and beholders. Ryan feels that they may be parasitic. The beholder in the demon ape's body was not the first to appear here. He called the beholder pet that was teleported in with him for careful interrogation. Sure enough, this idea was verified. The beholder's original memory ended in this environment. , how it escaped from the beholder tribe, and how it parasitized the body of the demon ape. The beholder Macaluan has no memory at all. It seems that it has been living in this place since it was a child, and then by chance I activated the teleportation magic circle and ran to the first floor of the mist cave at the other end. After a period of activity, I appeared at the bottom of the Forgotten Valley on the ground. I finally met Ryan who was passing there.
