Chapter 2011: The Transition Between Light and Darkness

The ruins of the Star Pond.

When the moonlight slowly covered the starlight reflected by the shallow pool, the three observation pavilions distributed on the Star Pond began to absorb the rippling light. The light that was finally absorbed condensed on the top of the observation pavilion, and at the same time sent a ray of light to the other observation pavilions.

When the light ray connected the tops of all the observation pavilions, an invisible barrier that was difficult to see with the naked eye completely enveloped the ruins of the Star Pond.

Wallace floated above one of the observation pavilions and said to Rhine who was standing in the center of the Star Pond: "It is worthy of being an observation pavilion designed by Aesop. The space node happens to be the best dividing point. At present, there is no anomaly on my side, and the impact force that can be carried is estimated to reach the level of the peak of the second level of true knowledge."

The Iron Armor Granny did not fly into the air, but still sat in the observation pavilion, and her lips moved slightly: "There is no problem here."

After confirming that the other two observation pavilions could remain open, Rhine looked at the center of the Star Pond. Through the real water surface, he saw the deep passage of the alien space.

Just like what Rhine had seen before, there was nothing unusual in the place where the starlight shone. Nor did he see the creature wearing leather shoes mentioned by Sanders last time, but this did not mean that this passage was safe.

In the dark shadows without light, there might be hidden dangers that are difficult to detect.

"What are you still thinking about?" As Rhine was observing the passage in deep concentration, the lazy voice of the tree spirit came from behind him: "Don't forget, after the wall of condensed light is opened, the magic crystals consumed every minute are tens of thousands."

The tree spirit sounded just arguing with data, but the urging was obvious.

Rhine glanced at the tree spirit, said nothing, and stretched out his finger to touch the water surface lightly.

As ripples appeared on the water surface, the tree spirit put away his lazy expression, and Wallace and the iron-armored grandmother in the distance also showed solemnity.

Although they could not see the breath of the nightmare world rising into the sky, they knew that the appearance of ripples meant that... the passage of the ruins had been opened.

"I went in." Rhine's voice was flat.

"Well, be careful." The voice of the tree spirit changed from lazy to serious.

Rhine nodded, jumped into the ripples. Just like breaking through a layer of water film, Rhine stood in the dark and deep passage in just a blink of an eye.

From the outside, it seemed to be a passage falling down. But when he entered it, the gravity seemed to adjust automatically, and he stood firmly on the ground.

This actually also shows that the ruins under this star pool are not in reality. His only contact with reality is the layer of water film behind him, and its true body is still hidden in the unknown void.

Rhine did not look back, but closed his eyes to sense the surrounding situation.

Like last time, mental power cannot penetrate the wall, and the back of the wall cannot be detected. It seems that the magic array in the wall is still operating. With Rhine's strength, he can break the wall, but after breaking it, it will inevitably cause the backlash of the magic array. It is hard to say what will happen at that time.

Moreover, smashing the wall would definitely be noticed by the nightmare creatures in the core of the ruins, and his goal this time was not to clear the nightmare creatures. Therefore, Rhine did not intend to destroy the ruins unless it was absolutely necessary.

The exploration of mental power can only go deeper, but when it reaches the intersection of light and darkness, it can no longer move forward.

In the dark side where light and darkness intersect, it seems that the most solid mental barrier is hidden, and it is impossible to penetrate the barrier with mental power alone.

Although there are few places that can be explored, at least Rhine can be sure that there is no danger within the range of light.

Don’t think that the range of light is clear at a glance, but it is not the case. The last time Rhine came to this passage, he noticed that there were some strange creatures like snot monsters that could not be seen by the naked eye within the range of light. When those transparent snot monsters sensed Rhine, they attacked him, but the attack was very weak and did not cause any harm to Rhine. Seeing this, the snot monster was startled and disappeared in the air with a jump.

Rhine couldn't find where the group of snot monsters went. Later, Rhine went back and looked up some information and determined that their name was: Void Traveler, a strange existence that survives in the void.

There are not many records in the book, because wizards rarely encounter them, and even if they do, they can't catch them. They only know that they will wander aimlessly in the void.

Another reason why wizards are unwilling to pay more attention to them is that the Void Traveler is very weak and will not cause much harm even to apprentices.

It is precisely because Rhine encountered the Void Traveler last time that he is so vigilant. Who knows if there are other monsters hiding in places that cannot be seen by the naked eye?

After confirming that there is no danger in the range of light, Rhine walked forward.

Soon, Rhine came to the intersection of light and darkness. Rhine paused for a moment, and the creature wearing leather shoes that Sanders saw before appeared here.

Rhine just paused for a moment, and then continued to move forward, and his figure was soon submerged in the darkness.

Outside, the tree spirit who was observing Rhine's movements whispered softly after seeing Rhine sink into the darkness: "I hope there won't be any changes in the ruins."

After Rhine entered the darkness, he did not encounter the so-called creature wearing leather shoes, but this place was slightly different from when he came in before -

One meter in front of him, a huge head flying in the air was drooling at him.

On the ground, traces of saliva corrosion can be vaguely seen. At the same time, behind this head, there are some dark shadows swaying vaguely, with blood-red eyes with cruel and ferocious eyes, glowing in the darkness.

This once peaceful passage, I don’t know when, has been filled with extremely terrifying monsters!

…

When Angel received the message from the tree spirit, it was almost midnight.

After walking out of the ruins, Angel saw the tree spirit standing under the tree in deep thought.

When he heard Angel’s footsteps, the tree spirit slowly raised his head: "You are here, I will notify Sanders first..."

Angel shook his head: "No, I have already told the mentor, he will be here soon."

The tree spirit was stunned for a moment: "You told him?"

Seeing Angel nod, the tree spirit looked confused... When did you say it?

He had been here all the time, and he didn't see Angel communicating with Sanders. Even if he sent an illusion message, he could see it.

Or, Angel's long-distance voice technique has been able to break through the mirror world? This is obviously impossible. Even when Rhine used the telepathy technique to send a message to the mirror world, the tree spirit could detect it, let alone Angel.

Or was Angel trying to trick him?

Just when the tree spirit was puzzled, footsteps were heard behind him.
