Chapter 2818 Clownfish

Not long after, they encountered a fork in the road again.

Compared with the previous fork in the road, this fork in the road was more broken, and the fallen rocks almost blocked most of the road. Only by the cracks on the wall could we judge that this road was divided into left and right.

The road on the left was barely passable, but the right side collapsed completely.

When seeing this fork in the road, Wai, who had been arguing with Dox all the way, suddenly felt a shudder in his heart.

"Why is there another fork in the road?" Wai thought to himself, could it be that Dox was right?

The magic energy array on the fork in the road collapsed, and the rubble rolled down. The energy was very complicated, resulting in the most variables here. It was really possible that Adanis had set a trap on the fork in the road.

Wai thought of Dox's powerful inspiration, and the scale in his heart began to slowly shift.

However, after careful inspection, they did not find anything wrong on this fork in the road.

With doubts, everyone continued to move forward. In the following section of the journey, they did not encounter any more forks in the road. When Wai was relieved, a weak voice sounded from the mind band.

"My Lord, take a look at this..."

The speaker was Kael.

Since leaving the Hall of the Wise, Kael has not spoken, but held the photo stone and bowed his head in silence. At first, Kael was reading the book recorded in the Hall of the Wise. Seeing his intoxicated look, no one else disturbed him. Moreover, Angel also sent Speed ​​Spirit to protect Kael, so there was no danger.

However, Kael did not seem to read the book later, but as before, he took the photo stone to record their journey.

These photo records are very valuable first-hand information for wizards like Kael who are keen on exploring ruins.

Everyone looked at Kael, and Dox wondered, "What's wrong?"

Kael took out the photo stone and played the previously recorded scenes in front of everyone.

The photo stone recorded the scenes when they checked at the previous fork in the road.

They checked and found nothing wrong. From the perspective of the photo stone, it seemed that there was no problem.

"What's wrong with this picture?" Dox just glanced at it and then asked Kael, mainly because he didn't think Kael could find anything.

Kael: "I thought there was nothing wrong at first, but look here, sir."

Kael continued to play the picture in the photo stone. They left from the fork in the road. Not long after walking, the picture began to turn 360 degrees.

The reason for this is that Kael wanted to record all the details along the way, from the details of the ceiling to the patterns on the ground, looking around, which caused the picture to flip constantly.

Although it would feel a little dizzy to watch it in a row when playing it, when doing research, Kael would freeze each picture and analyze it one by one, so that he would not feel uncomfortable and would not worry about missing any details.

Not long after the picture of the photo stone was played, Kael clicked "pause" once.

Next, as they continued to move forward in the picture, Kael would pause once every once in a while, and clicked pause three times in a row.

The perspective of the three pauses is the same: facing the fork in the road.

From the picture, they are facing the fork in the road. But if you put them into the environment at that time, they are actually facing the fork in the road.

Therefore, they did not see the changes in the fork after they left.

To be precise, the fork itself did not change; what changed was that the content seen was somewhat different due to the different viewing distances.

The "content" mentioned here is the cracks on the wall.

Moreover, the cracks involved not only one wall, but three walls, that is, the three walls at the corner. They are perpendicular to each other, forming an angle.

Before, when they looked at it closely, they saw the cracks on different walls, and there was nothing strange at first glance.

But when Kael put the "long-range view" in front of them, the cracks on the three walls were like planes, connected together, forming a "pattern".

Kael discovered this pattern, so he took the initiative to speak.

"I don't think this pattern is naturally formed... but I can't really tell what it is, so I want to ask you, sir." Kael said.

This so-called "pattern" is indeed a bit confusing at first glance.

It looks like a teardrop, with a long tip on the top and an oval on the bottom. However, the "tip" on the top is a bit too curved... or "enchanting".

And when you look at it from the other side, it looks a bit like a tadpole.

Although it is still unclear what this pattern is, from the smoothness and consistency of the lines, it is definitely not naturally formed. Although Kael, who discovered this pattern, discovered it by accident, from the results, no one else discovered it, but he was able to discover it, so the credit belongs to him.

Dox praised Kael: "Not bad, although it is not as good as me, it is much better than the other apprentices here."

There are only two apprentices present, and Dox is flattering one and trampling the other. Kael didn't know how to answer, so he could only smile awkwardly.

Wai was too lazy to argue with Dox, and instead looked at Angell: "My Lord, do you see what this is?"

Angel and the Black Count had been observing the pattern, and Wai didn't dare to ask his own lord, so he asked Angell.

Angel hesitated for a moment, stretched out his hand and pointed in the air, and the pattern on the photo stone floated in front of everyone.

The pattern on the shadow stone is relatively fixed. Although some abnormalities can be seen, it is obviously not as clear as Angel's illusion.

Angel fiddled with the illusion many times in succession, and finally adjusted it to a very special angle, with a semicircle on the top and a long, enchanting curve on the bottom.

Looking at this angle, Angel stretched out his hand and clicked a small dot on the semicircle.

At this time, when everyone looked at the pattern again, they saw something.

"This looks like a creature with a tail?" Vai said.

The upper circle is the head, and the lower one is the body and tail, and Angel clicks on the circle, just like the finishing touch, to make the pattern deform in the direction of the "creature".

"It does look a bit like a creature with a tail, but the eyes shouldn't have been on the wall originally, right?" Doakes looked at Angel.

Angel: "No, but..."

Before he finished speaking, Angel seemed to have thought of something: "Let's go back and take a look."

"What's wrong?" Seeing Angel turn around, everyone was confused, but still followed him.

Angel explained as he walked: "If I remember correctly, the eye part of this pattern seems to be a disabled energy node of the magic energy array."

"In other words, the eyes are energy nodes? But now that you are sure, you don't have to go back and read it again, right?" Doakes said.

Angel frowned: "I have read some cases in the book. The magic energy array was damaged. If the energy of the damaged part is still surplus, then this energy is likely to accumulate in the energy nodes and eventually crystallize."

"Crystallization... you mean forming energy crystals? Magic crystals?" Doakes said a little puzzled: "You want to run back just for this magic crystal? How come you are stingier than me?"

Angel was too lazy to reply, but Vai helped: "You are the one who has fallen in love with money. You only think that magic crystals are money, and you never thought that magic crystals are also crystals!"

"Crystal..." Doakes was stunned for a moment and immediately realized what Vai meant.

Crystal means facets. As long as the facets are slightly smooth, they can have a reflective effect and show an image, which is equivalent to a special mirror!

In other words, they most likely passed by a hidden mirror!

Now Doakes finally understood why Angel suddenly returned. If it is really a mirror, then regardless of whether there is a problem or not, we will wait until it is resolved.

They retreated quickly, and soon they saw the fork in the road.

Looking from a distance, it is indeed the same as the picture reflected by the Kael Image Stone. The lines on the three walls present a strange pattern due to the three-dimensional angles.

When they actually saw this pattern, a strange feeling suddenly filled their surroundings.

"Be careful." The Black Earl reminded in the psychic belt, and at the same time he returned to Vai's body, which was also a disguised form of protection for Vai.

Naturally, everyone did not dare to be careless. While secretly preparing defensive techniques, they looked for any signs of abnormality around them.

However, no abnormalities were found around him. All the abnormalities, including the unsettling feeling, all came from the cracks on the three walls.

"It's so insidious." Doakes looked at the cracks and couldn't help cursing in the psychic belt, "Angel, are you sure there are energy crystals inside?"

"It's basically certain." Angel still didn't give a clear answer.

However, uncertainty is no longer so important. Because the weird atmosphere surrounding it is enough to show that there must be something wrong here.

The problem was not discovered before because they simply did not notice the problem before. At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on the cracks on the three walls, and problems naturally emerged.

"What are we going to do?" Doakes asked.

Angel: "Destroy the wall and take out the crystal inside."

Doakes originally wanted to say, "Leave this to me," but before he could say it, Angel said, "I'll do this. Although the magic array here has collapsed, it still hides murderous intent. If it's not handled well, it will be attacked by the surrounding people." The energy backfires.”

When Angel said this, Doakes swallowed back the words that had reached his throat.

Angel walked under the wall, passed the direction of the crack, and locked the place where the energy accumulated.

"Be careful, I always feel like it might..."

Before Angel could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a familiar voice.

"I didn't expect you to have good observation skills, but that's all. Clownfish, you promised not to be discovered before, but now it seems like a joke."

The voice was cold and its source was unknown, as if the same voice was coming from all directions. And this voice is not unfamiliar to them

"Adanis!" Angel shouted.

"Hmph, that old guy has indeed cooperated with you. However, he should have told you that I hate this name." After finishing her words, Adanis raised her voice and said: "Clownfish, don't do anything yet!"

As the words fell, the surrounding walls began to fluctuate in space. They were obviously broken cracks, but now they actually took on the appearance of a mirror.

Seeing this scene, everyone reacted immediately. According to the advice of the wise master, they must not stay in the place reflected by the mirror. Therefore, now is not the time to think about resistance, so they should leave the area reflected by the mirror first.

And they only had two choices, one was the road they took before retreating, and the other was the way back, which was the direction of the Wise Man's Hall.

Weighing the two, they chose the direction of the Wise Hall without hesitation.

The place where the Black Count said to cut off the smell has not yet arrived. If Angel's guess is correct, it means that there is a trap set by Adanis ahead. Therefore, a strategic retreat first is the best option at present.

However, when they wanted to retreat, they found a transparent water wall that was difficult to see with the naked eye, blocking their way.

And behind the water wall, standing was Adanis who looked at them coldly!

They did not see this water wall when they came, which means that Adanis set it up after they left.

The water wall completely blocked this road.

If this water wall is just an ordinary water wall, then find a way to destroy it. But Adanis appeared behind the water wall, which means that this water wall is a mirror medium.

No matter it is buried in the soil or flooded in the water, it will only fall into the mirror and will not pose a threat to the mirror medium.

Before, the Wise Lord mentioned that Angel could penetrate the mirror with his bare hands, and perhaps he could also destroy the passage between the mirror and the outside world.

However, the wise master did not know how to destroy it.

Also, the more powerful the caster of the mirror medium is, the harder it is to destroy it. And standing behind this water wall is Adanis, who is a being that even the wise master must retreat from in the mirror domain.

So, there is no need to think that they can't destroy this water wall at all.

Since this water wall cannot be destroyed, their only choice now is to continue along the previous road.

When they changed their route, Adanis neither spoke nor stopped them.

From this, it can be seen that if they continue to move forward, there will probably be "shocks" waiting for them.

Although they knew that there was a problem with this road, they had no choice at this time.

They rushed forward quickly, and while running towards the front road, Angel turned his head and looked at Dox.

Dox hurriedly said: "You don't need to say it, I know. As for the plane channel, I'm ready. If you say to use it, I will release it immediately."

Dox now understands Angel, and he ran away from the plane channel without saying a word.

Anyway, he would be Angel's follower in the future, and Dox accepted it now, and he believed that Angel would not fail to reimburse the consumables of the plane channel.

Angel opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything. He really wanted to tell Dox to prepare the last step to avoid falling into the trap.

But he didn't expect Dox to answer the question now... This made him a little depressed.

Just as they were moving forward quickly, a voice suddenly sounded in the surrounding space, and this voice also echoed.

"I said don't call me clownfish, I'm a mermaid princess. If you call me clownfish again, I will call you that weird name too!"
