1313 Grotto 1

A large amount of green smoke suddenly gushed out of the cut fence, which surprised Raymond and made him alert. He immediately retreated to the stone steps behind him.

However, the green smoke did not cause other changes. It just stopped for a while after gathering, and then slowly merged into the air and disappeared completely.

Raymond held his breath and waited for a moment. After releasing his perception to check the environment in front of the fence, he retracted the sharp blade on his right fingertips and returned to the fence to carefully check the force field barrier behind the cut fence that had a visual isolation effect. After confirming that its strength was not very high, he walked through the fence.

The barrier, which was only a few centimeters away from the fence, burst out a blue arc as soon as Raymond touched it. In an instant, it gathered to form countless blue lightning with the thickness of a finger, hitting his body without any dodge.

Raymond, who looked calm, did not stop there, but continued to walk forward with his own protective barrier. After stepping into the barrier, he directly passed through it. Then Raymond, who was bright in front of his eyes, found that behind the barrier was an extremely large cave!

Countless crystal clear stalactites of various shapes were hanging on the top of the cave like a forest of guns. There were also milky white stalactites slowly gathering at the bottom, but the dripping stalactites silently sank into the mist below, without even a little sound.

Raymond, who stopped in place and looked down, found that there was a bottomless cold pool under the mist, and the wisps of water mist rising from the cold pool. It was the reason why there was a layer of mist in the cave.

Raymond, who released his senses to explore, found that the cold pool blocked by the mist was surrounded by huge ice blocks about meters high, and outside was gray flat green rock. It actually made the cold pond look like a huge bathtub in the bathroom.

Standing on the stone platform that slightly protruded from the inner wall, Raymond, who felt the hidden pressure around him, was puzzled after exploring the situation in the cave.

Because the passage behind him was the only entrance!

But if this is the only entrance, then is there another exit under the cold pond?

Thinking of this, Raymond took a step forward, but at the moment when his left foot was about to land, a sudden warning in his heart made him lift his left foot that was about to fall immediately!

And as his left foot was retracted in time. The warning in his heart quickly faded and disappeared.

The stone platform outside the passage that protruded from the stone wall was less than two meters long. Raymond, who should still stand on this stone platform after his left foot landed, was naturally very puzzled by the warning in his heart.

But when his left foot stepped out and was about to land. The warning in his heart appeared again, and it became more obvious, as if as long as he took this step, there would be extremely terrible consequences!

A warning that had never appeared before. It aroused Raymond's vigilance.

He saw his left foot trying in different directions ahead. But every time he landed, he immediately retracted it. After repeating this several times, Raymond, who carefully felt the changes in the warning signs in his heart, could only stand still.

Because any place in front of him would cause his left foot to produce a warning sign when it fell!

But when he used magic to attack the stone platform in front of him, the stone chips on the stone platform flew, but the stone platform in front of him with some potholes did not show any abnormality at all, as if the warning sign in his heart was just an illusion!

But such a judgment just emerged in his heart. Raymond, who was tense, immediately raised his right hand, and wanted to check the coral bracelet!

But the coral bracelet that should have been revealed did not appear. His right wrist was still the same as before, but the color of the skin was slightly darker.

Raymond, who realized that he had fallen into some kind of illusion, couldn't help but become more puzzled.

Because after he entered through the cut fence, he had been on guard, and after the protective barrier was gathered, he should have sensed the existence of the illusion!

Re-examining the huge cave in front of him, Raymond closed his eyes and retracted his perception after a moment.

Vision can sometimes be disturbed, and perception can sometimes be blinded, only one's own intuition will not be affected by external objects, so he decided to retreat first!

Raised his left foot and stepped back, and Raymond's body was extremely tense as he slowly fell.

His left foot landed but did not land firmly but maintained a slight contact, but the warning sign in his heart did not appear, which made him relax a little.

The second step...

The third step...

Raymond, who kept facing the cave, stepped back a dozen steps and should have been able to touch the cut fences, but the heel that was about to be raised was tripped by something, causing his body to lose balance and fall backwards!

But Raymond, who was not surprised but happy, straightened his waist, and his body tensed up instantly, making him suspended. Then he continued to retreat backwards while keeping his back leaning back!

As expected, his raised left foot, when it continued to rise and fall backwards, accurately touched the ground at the height of two stone steps.

Raymond, who felt relieved, hesitated for a moment before opening his eyes, but what he saw was not the narrow passage behind the fence, but the fence he had just cut off!

And in front of the fence, a very thin cloud of green smoke was surging and rolling there!

Raymond, with his pupils slightly shrunken, raised his right hand, and as his mind turned, the beads bracelet emerged from under his skin.

Standing on the two stone steps of the passage when he came in, Raymond was sure that he had not been able to escape from the attack of the green smoke before. The cave he thought he had entered was all his illusion. He had actually been standing in the green smoke and had not moved forward at all!

After understanding the phenomenon, Raymond was a little confused.

The illusion caused by the green smoke did not seem to exist in some kind of illusion.

Because after he closed his eyes and blocked his perception, he moved backwards completely with the help of perception. Could it be that the reason why he finally escaped from the green smoke was because of the touch of the stone steps in the passage?

Raymond thought so in his heart and felt that it was a little unlikely, so after releasing his perception again, he carefully penetrated into the green smoke.

But the moment he sensed deeply into the green smoke, he appeared a little trance in front of his eyes!

Raymond quickly closed his eyes and calmed down, but when he opened his eyes again, his face changed violently!

Because he was no longer standing on the stone steps, but took three steps towards the green smoke without knowing it!

In an almost sealed environment, the green smoke that gathered and blocked the fence would affect his actions as long as he sensed it. He had to pay attention to such a strange phenomenon.

Raymond stood back on the stone steps, thought for a moment, and released an earth puppet, making it move forward and step into the green smoke.

But the moment the earth puppet entered the green smoke, Raymond lost the sense of the puppet, just like the last step of the earth puppet made it enter other planes, making Raymond lose the sense of the earth puppet!

Standing on the stone steps, Raymond looked at the earth puppet standing in the green smoke. After waiting for a long time, he found that the green smoke seemed to have the ability to decompose, which made the earth puppet standing in it quickly weakened. In the end, it seemed that the energy that constituted the puppet was devoured, and the color of the body surface became dark and black. After a moment, it collapsed from the outside to the inside and turned into basic earth energy, rising in the green smoke and finally dissipated!

Even if the earth puppet was cut off from sensing, it should be able to last for several hourglass hours without collapsing with the earth energy infused during its condensation.

However, in this green smoke, it did not even last for more than ten minutes before disintegrating and collapsing. If it was not for the corrosion or energy absorption effect of this green smoke, then there was only one possible reason that would cause such a phenomenon in front of us!

The flow rate of time!

Only when the flow rate of time changes can an earth puppet that has been cut off from sensing and cannot be controlled collapse in such a short time... (To be continued...)
