After returning to the winery, Chen Lun immediately called out "Philip's Adventures in Wonderland" in the study and entered the original wooden house in the Crystal Mountains.
He adjusted his black top hat, picked up his silver cane and pushed open the door.
The plain of gray-black rocks appeared again in front of me, and in the distance was a dark mountain range that shone with a strange light. There was no vegetation in that area, just bare and rugged peaks.
There was no sun or moon in the sky, and the whole environment was gray and depressing.
It presents a picture of biological prohibition.
Chen Lun could vaguely feel a sense of oppression coming from the depths of the dead mountain range. His spiritual intuition was also warning him, as if telling him that the next action would be unpredictable and dangerous.
'Philip didn't give me the complete Sequence 5 Transcendental Knowledge. Without the last sixth, I can't trigger the promotion mission and will be stuck where I am... Coming here to search is currently the fastest way to gather Transcendental Knowledge, so it is imperative!'
"Huh..."
He let out a long breath, took a step forward and walked forward.
After advancing for a distance, Chen Lun did not encounter any danger. Seeing this, he increased his speed, changed from walking to flying, and headed straight towards the mountains.
The plain was extremely vast, and there was still some distance to the mountains. While on the road, he divined the knowledge of the "last one-sixth", but the result was regrettable, there was no prediction at all... Although Chen Lun had been prepared, he was still a little disappointed.
This made him secretly wonder whether it was the violent energy filled with the mountains that blocked or interfered with his divination, or whether Philip had done something in advance to make it difficult for him to succeed.
Chen Lun shook his head.
In short, without a clear goal, he had to take the least efficient approach -
Carpet search.
If we find every wooden house hidden in the Crystal Mountains, we will be able to obtain the last one-sixth of knowledge sooner or later, but this will take a lot of time and energy.
"In that case, let's start from the far right..."
Chen Lun thought about it, adjusted his direction, and flew towards the right front.
About ten minutes later.
He finally entered the mountain area.
After flying at low altitude for a distance, Chen Lun finally encountered his first attack. It was a moving stone monster named "Ernie's Statue".
Its head is shaped like an elephant, but it has a sturdy human body, four or five meters tall. Its stone body is covered with green moss and blue crystals, all of which emit a striking light.
The five eyeballs of the elephant head statue are pitch black, and its face and two large ears are extremely irregular and grotesque, like an abstract work of art. Its long nose is covered with hideous barbs, shaped like an iron whip.
call-
The statue swung its long trunk and lashed towards Chen Lun in mid-air.
The dull sound of breaking through the air indicated that the force of this blow was terrifying.
Peng!
Chen Lun wanted to test the opponent, so he raised his silver cane to block the attack, but he didn't expect the force to send him flying dozens of meters. Feeling the numbness and tingling in the palm of his hand, he realized that the power of this polluted creature was much higher than his own!
whoosh!
Chen Lun teleported and appeared above the elephant-head statue.
He swung his hand and threw several card knives, which cut into the opponent's body with a clinking sound. Apart from leaving a few dents the size of a fingernail, they were completely useless.
'Its strength and defense are amazing... but it's slow and a bit clumsy.'
Chen Lun made an evaluation in his mind and his eyes fixed.
He raised his hand again, and three magic cards, "Diamonds", "Clubs" and "Spades", appeared between his fingers.
Rest, rest, rest—
Three streams of light, two black and one red, fell from the sky and landed directly on the elephant-head statue with a rumbling sound.
When the smoke cleared, the elephant head statue was temporarily entangled in place by a translucent gelatinous substance. Chen Lun noticed that its left ear was cut off, there was a crack on its neck, and its body was full of pits and dents.
'It's really hard...'
He said secretly.
"That's all. It's probably a bit stronger than a normal Sequence 6, but it still doesn't pose a threat to me."
With a loud bang, the club's restraints did not hold the elephant-headed statue for long, as it used brute force to break free. But the next second, Chen Lun teleported behind it, and a "Pale Hand" bloomed, with the snakes turning into fists, hitting the opponent's back.
Peng!
With a loud bang, the upper body of the elephant-head statue was torn into pieces.
You killed the polluting creature "Ernie's Statue"! Gained 9000 experience points!
It dropped a blue crystalline supernatural material. Chen Lun picked it up and the panel showed it was "aquamarine". The description said it contained unstable magical energy.
"This stone is a bit like dragon stone... Go back and give it to Flo Yin for testing."
Chen Lun thought about it and put it into the Blood Poetry Ring.
Then he looked around.
We are now at the foot of the rightmost side of the Crystal Mountains. The black rock ground beneath our feet is smooth and steep. We cannot find any clear path at the moment. At a glance, we can only see the lifeless ridge of the hill.
There were many elephant-head statues like the one just now, scattered on the hillside, crooked and slanting, about a dozen in number. They looked like they had been here for a long time, covered with mosses, and most of them were damaged, with heads and arms missing, like ruins.
Chen Lun moved his feet, and his whole body became airborne again, flying up at a low altitude along the hillside.
When passing the elephant head statues, four or five of them "came to life", took aggressive steps, chased Chen Lun in mid-air, and even raised their long trunks to whip him.
Chen Lun didn't want to waste time on them, so he directly raised his flying altitude and continued to move forward.
After flying for several minutes.
He came to the halfway point of the mountain. There were even more elephant-head statues in this area. Looking down, he saw dozens or even hundreds of broken torsos, arms, thighs and elephant heads scattered all over the ground.
A few intact statues woke up after being startled by him, and they chased after him like angry guards. But Chen Lun's flying speed far exceeded these bulky guys, and soon he left them far behind.
'What on earth is this place? Why are there so many withered monsters...'
Chen Lun was a little confused.
When he reached the top of the mountain, his brows couldn't help but frown slightly.
There stood a white ivory tower several tens of meters high, with layers upon layers, and the outer walls were engraved with ancient Yanita characters, which Chen Lun could not understand at all.
Around the ivory tower were piled the remains of hundreds of elephant-head statues.
At the top of the tower, Chen Lun finally saw a small wooden house.
It's like a little yellow hat on the head of an ivory tower.
'Philip always changes my perception of her...'
Chen Lun curled his lips.
The purpose of placing this wooden house on the top of the tower was very obvious, which was to deliberately make things difficult for him.
"Unfortunately, I can fly and teleport, so it doesn't matter where the cabin is."
Chen Lun chuckled.
At this time.
The thick wooden door on the first floor of the white ivory tower was slowly pushed open from the inside, and a translucent blue figure slowly walked out.
Contaminating creatures discovered! Ernie's ghost (Magic Faction: School of Everything)!
Chen Lun saw some information about the other party by peeping into his life.
His expression was slightly solemn, because the panel data of this ghost was quite strong. Although its basic attributes were slightly lower than his own, its intelligence had reached 155 points, which was an intelligence that exceeded the threshold of Sequence 5!
At the same time, it also has elite templates.
Chen Lun thought that the elephant-head statues he had encountered along the way were most likely made by this Master Ernie. The remains of the statues piled up around the ivory tower were some kind of evidence.
They gave Chen Lun a feeling of being a "product of failure".
Ernie Shadow was wearing a simple robe with a hemp rope tied around his waist as a belt, and holding a dead wood staff that was as long as his arm and as thick as his fingers.
It doesn't look like the style of today's era.
'The top mid-sequence extraordinary person, the School of Magical Path to Everything... It was recorded in "Carmen's Notes" that this was a school that the magic saint Carmen hated and disdained.'
Chen Lun thought.
He actually didn't know much about the schools of these magicians, so he planned to fight with Ernie's ghost to see what his methods were. After all, magic is one of the ways to connect with fate, and knowing more is not a bad thing.
Buzz!
The blue shadow raised his staff, and from the wreckage of the surrounding statues, more than a dozen elephant-headed statues stood up with a rumble and surrounded Chen Lun.
He glanced around and went straight into Pale Knight form.
boom!
Chen Lun, who originally looked tiny in front of the many tall statues, suddenly turned into a white knight as tall as them. The silver giant sword burning with purple-red flames swept across suddenly, and with a loud clang, it cut the three elephant-headed statues in half.
The purple-red fire burned the stone, causing it to disintegrate.
clang!
clang clang!
The pale knight hunched over, dragging his scarlet cape, dodging left and right, slashing with his sword through the air, his movements extremely fast. The statues taller than him were like targets, and their proud defenses were vulnerable.
No elephant-head statue can withstand a sword attack.
Dongdong!
The heavy remains of the withered statue fell to the ground, making a dull sound.
The ghost of Master Ernie shook his staff again, his empty eyes staring at the pale knight, his mouth opening and closing, silently chanting spells.
Crash...
Countless debris floated up and combined into three giant elephants, charging straight towards Chen Lun.
Boom—
Even a huge city wall several meters thick would suddenly collapse under their impact!
Chen Lun felt the strong murderous intent coming from the armor, and his eyes hidden under the holes in the visor turned red.
The attribute bonus brought by "Bloodlust LV2 (Blessing)" has been improved again.
He ignored the three giant elephants charging at him, and instantly moved in front of Ernie's ghost, striking him on the head with a sword. The silver streak instantly hit the other's crown.
Bang!
Unexpectedly, the giant sword was like it had hit a diamond. Master Ernie stood there, motionless, and the black rock ground under his feet cracked into dozens of cracks.
The secret method of the School of Everything: Skin of the Giant Elephant!
The secret method of the School of All Things: the herd of undead elephants!
The information of the two magic spells was instantly captured by Life Peeping, giving Chen Lun a hint.
Three giant elephants were charging past, and one of them suddenly exploded, scattering into countless tiny pieces of debris.
Chen Lun realized that the enemy used magic to increase his defense several times at that moment, and after withstanding his sword attack, he transferred the damage to the withered creature.
Chen Lun twisted the hilt of the sword, and without saying a word, he swung the sword back again, hitting Master Ernie's face directly.
Bang!
The sharp blade of the silver giant sword collided with the ghost's face, and sparks flew!
With a loud bang, another giant elephant exploded.
The ghost of Master Ernie acted calmly, and immediately pulled out a dagger from his waist and stabbed Chen Lun in the abdomen. At the same time, Chen Lun raised his great sword and slashed the opponent's neck with a diagonal blow!
Bang! Boom!
The attacks from both of them landed on each other almost at the same time.
The dagger pierced through the gap in the pale armor and was blocked by the Didak Armor on Chen Lun's body, but Master Ernie had tremendous strength that was completely inconsistent with his body size. The dagger shattered and Chen Lun, whose body was more than three meters tall, was forced to take a step back.
This time, his attack also failed to cause any substantial damage to Master Ernie. The opponent once again used magic to transfer the damage. Finally, the giant elephant exploded, and the earth and mountains around it shook.
Chen Lun's mind was filled with the desire to kill.
He took a step forward and swung his sword nineteen times in succession. The heavy blows were concentrated on Master Ernie within a few breaths.
clang clang clang…
If it were a normal Sequence 5 Beyonder, he would be seriously injured or even killed by this series of attacks. However, the spirit of the wizard in front of him was completely unharmed, and only the statues around him were blown to pieces.
Master Ernie suddenly raised his foot and stomped hard.
The secret method of the School of Everything: Trampling the Earth!
The secret method of the School of Everything: Gravel Impact!
winter!
Like a meteorite falling to the ground, like a thunder exploding out of nowhere.
Master Ernie trampled the black rock ground, creating a huge pit with a diameter of more than ten meters, and countless cracks spread out. A terrifying shock wave, accompanied by a hail of broken stones, rushed towards Chen Lun.
The debris of the withered statues around were also affected, like garbage in the universe, being swept away to form a meteorite belt that spread outward.
There was a loud crackling sound.
The Pale Knight was pushed seven or eight meters away, leaving a ditch on the ground.
'This is not the power of a mid-sequence transcendent... The other party was a magic faction Sequence 5-carver in his lifetime. He spent a long time and countless resources to build this ivory tower statue. With its amplification, the power of the secret magic temporarily exceeded the scope of the mid-sequence.'
A thought flashed through Chen Lun’s mind.
'Once a supernatural being of the magic path is fully prepared, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is invincible in a positional battle... The School of All Things seems to be a school of magic that imitates the power of all things in the world. Interesting.'
After he got the information he wanted to know, he decided not to continue to pester her.
whoosh!
In an instant, a tall pale body appeared behind Master Ernie. A group of snakes burst out from his shoulders, interweaving into a pale monster python, which instantly wrapped up the opponent and squeezed it suddenly.
At the same time, Chen Lun swung his sword with all his strength, and a silver light flashed.
boom!
Kill the polluted creature "Ernie's Ghost"! Gain 80,000 experience points!

Chen Lun changed back into human form.
He looked at the ruins around him, shook his head, bent down and picked up the extraordinary material left behind by Master Ernie after he disappeared. It was a handful of silver powder.
Extraordinary Material-Wisdom Dust (Advanced)
Chen Lun learned from the description on the panel that this was something that only a senior magician would leave behind after his soul dissipated... Even if it was not used as a material for forging or mixing, drinking it directly with water could increase the intelligence attribute by 3 to 6 points.
"not bad."
He chuckled.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Lun pushed the door open and walked into the ivory tower.
He planned to go in and explore.
After a moment.
Chen Lun stood in the room full of dust and black dirt, shaking his head in disappointment.
Due to the erosion of time, not only the tables, chairs, furniture and books, but even some extraordinary things in the tower have decayed and there is nothing of value to be found.
Seeing this, he could only sigh and climb to the top of the tower.
Then, he walked along the outer wooden plank bridge, around to the door of the cabin, and entered the second cabin in Crystal Mountains.
Chen Lun went to the table immediately and picked up the manuscript left on it.
Compare it with the extraordinary knowledge you possess to check for duplication.
The next second, his face froze.
"My luck is so good? I found it in one go?!"
Chen Lun held the newly acquired manuscript in his left hand and the parchment given to him by Philip in his right hand. There was no overlap between the two.
After stacking them together -
You have gained extraordinary knowledge of the Fate faction!
Sequence 5-Juggler (Complete)!
