Chapter 45 The Illusion of the Stone Speecher Crystal (Part 2)
Seeing this, Brian's eyes suddenly tightened, and immediately stopped the illusion scroll slowly unfolding in front of him like a storm.
Although the figure of Master Zhuoer loomed between light and shadow, like a moon in the fog, with his keen insight and profound understanding of the forces in the dark area, he captured the other party's elusive qualities and successfully identified his identity.
"It was unexpected," Brian whispered, his hand unconsciously brushing his forehead, erasing a layer of cold sweat. The cold sweat flashed in the faint light. "I originally thought it was just a group of spider wizards driven by the Spider God Queen Rose active in this turmoil in the underground world. Unexpectedly, even the famous chief wizard in the city of Ancient Orence was mixed with it, and it seemed to play an important role."
His brows frowned, and his thoughts surged like a tide.
At this moment, the image of Wizlan, the Drown mage, became clearer in his mind. Combined with the current situation analysis, Brian couldn't help but realize:
"So that's the case, Vizlan's actions are not simply obedience and agreement. He is most likely to be in the abyss of darkness, fighting against the supreme spider-ghost Queen Rose in a secret and firm manner."
As the whole story gradually became clear in his heart, Brian's inner feelings changed from the initial nervousness and worries to a strange excitement and expectation.
He originally thought this would be a doomsday catastrophe in which the demon lord used the power of his incarnation to use the dark area as his own paradise of conquest and reap the souls of living beings.
However, what reality shows him is a more tortuous and bizarre story: three male mages from ancient Orence City who were once regarded as vulnerable groups, they are like serfs breaking free from the shackles, singing the song of freedom, and rewriting the fate of this underground world with wisdom and courage.
Such a turning point undoubtedly made Brian full of interest and expectations for the next development, as if he had opened a thrilling legendary novel with his own hands, and each chapter was full of unknowns and challenges.
Without wasting a minute or a second, Brian quickly adjusted his state and immersed himself in endless concentration, like a deep-sea diver diving into the abyss of knowledge without hesitation.
He concentrated his mind and strength again, with great determination and perseverance, trying to capture a new clue and an unprecedented message from the blurred illusion released by the mysterious crystal.
In this quiet and tense atmosphere, the air seemed to become thick and full of tension, and time seemed to stagnate at this moment, just waiting for Brian to unlock the secrets in this fantasy world.
Suddenly, accompanied by waves of light and mist like the twinkling of stars, another dream-like image gradually appeared from the chaos and quietly appeared in Brian's eyes full of expectation and firmness.
This scene unfolds slowly like film, not only bringing an amazing picture, but also seems to carry a long-clogged story, waiting quietly for Brian to interpret and explore.
He saw a strange and beautiful cave as strange as an illusion, suddenly appearing in front of him, like a mysterious painting intertwined by light and shadow.
The colorful light burst out from the pure and majestic vitality deep in the cave, blending with the ancient glory hidden under the earth's veins, reflecting, jumping and flowing in the darkness, as if it was the rhythm of the beating of the earth's heart.
Under this magnificent light, Brian keenly sensed a deep and gloomy aura, which was the life force inside the cave gradually disappearing in an irreversible way, as if it was eroded by some evil infectious force, and its vitality turned into nothing and slowly drifted in every inch of the cave.
This process is both regrettable and terrifying.
In the middle of the cave, a strange mushroom quietly broke out of the ground. Its growth rate was amazing, rising and growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Pusts began to grow on it, rotten juice flowing, and the rhizomes were crazily absorbing nutrients like greedy tentacles, becoming extremely thick. The umbrella extended along with its growth momentum until it touched the top of the cave, forming a majestic and spectacular fungal tower full of strange beauty.
In the face of this shocking wonder, the two mushroom men approached carefully and with awe. They did not notice the carpet woven by countless decaying creatures under their feet, and pieces of fragments of life were quietly shattered at their pace.
Brian could feel their thoughts fluctuations suddenly became active at this moment, as if they were being pulled by some powerful will.
When they knelt down and worshiped, Brian's heart tightened, and he realized that they had completely fallen into a hopeless abyss.
Just as this tense and mysterious atmosphere reached its peak, a sound suddenly sounded from the clouds of spores like snowflakes falling in the air. The sound was low and magnetic, as if it had ancient echoes and endless wisdom.
It commands the mushroom people to prepare an unprecedented gift, an unknown ceremony about to be staged in this cave where death and vitality coexist.
The image instantly dissipated in the air, as if the traces were wiped out by an invisible eraser, leaving only a piece of nothingness and silence.
A thoughtful light flashed in Brian's eyes, which was a unique insight into the world and predicted the future.
"It seems that the cunning and persistent fungus queen did not stop because of the last wedding defeat. Her thief is still there and she is ambitious."
He murmured to himself softly, with a confident and calm smile on his lips, "I have already tore her conspiracy and intrigues apart from the sun. Despite this, she still does not give up and attempts to make a comeback."
He raised his head slightly and said to himself with a smile:
"Fortunately, I had already predicted that the enemy's plane would set up one tight line of defense after another. Even if she personally transformed into a terrifying existence, she would probably have to end up in a desperate situation. After all, in front of her, not only the mushroom people who were transformed from mushrooms in the material world and the staff arranged in advance, but also the powerful secret weapon of the "God of Mushroom Man" that I carefully designed and prepared for in advance."
Obviously, deep in the complex and mysterious fungus forest, everything is immersed in a strange and regular calm, as if the rhythm of nature is accurately followed here, without any strange signs revealing the upcoming changes.
After Brian felt a little relieved, he continued to stare at the crystal that was shining with a glimmer.
This crystal is like a microscopic window in a dark area, presenting the unpredictable scenes of the areas hidden in the dark one by one. He stares at it intently, like a fortune teller who has insight into the world, touching the distant distance with his heart, trying to interpret the secret language hidden at the junction of light and darkness.
As the glimmer of light leaps in the crystal, Brian seemed to be able to feel the various changes that other areas in the dark area were experiencing.
