1314 Grotto 2
Time is originally a high-level energy.
As for the speed of time, only wizards who have come into contact with it can feel it at the first time.
This is an experience, a special phenomenon that will be remembered after experiencing it.
There are many reasons for its formation, but the form of expression is not complicated and obscure, but the consequences of the speed of time are extremely terrible.
Raymond was still very puzzled by the green smoke that gathered in front of him after determining that entering it would accelerate the speed of time.
Because although there are many reasons for the change in the speed of time, it is rare to show such a clear change in such a small range.
In addition to the natural generation in the plane channel and the plane gap, if this green smoke is set here by a wizard for protection, then the strength of this person is a little difficult to judge.
The only thing that can be judged is that the wizard who can seal this green smoke with the speed of time in the fence must have a control over the attribute of time that ordinary people do not have.
But since he finally came here, he was unwilling to turn back now, so after thinking for a while, Raymond released two earth puppets at the same time, allowing them to enter the green smoke at the same time.
The green smoke, which could only wrap one earth puppet, suddenly expanded outwards when the two earth puppets entered, just in time for the two earth puppets to be covered by the green smoke, and then it regained its calm.
The earth puppet whose sense was cut off stood still in the green smoke. But the color of its body surface changed rapidly.
And Raymond, with red light shining in his eyes, waited patiently under the precise timing of the chip.
The earth puppets stood in the green smoke on the left and right. The one on the left with extremely low strength showed signs of cracking in the body surface in less than half an hourglass, and then collapsed from the outside to the inside and turned into basic energy particles, dissipating in the green smoke.
The green smoke that had expanded outward before, however, surged towards another earth puppet as the earth puppet dissipated. The earth puppet on the right quickly showed signs of collapse, just as the concentration of green smoke determined the speed of time flow inside it. The earth puppet that could have lasted a little longer collapsed and dissipated after only holding on for less than half an hourglass.
Raymond, who witnessed the entire process, made his perception carefully avoid the green smoke. After checking the concentration of free energy in the environment, he handed these data to the chip for analysis.
Time passed slowly, and Raymond, who was standing on the stone steps, breathed a sigh of relief after the chip came out with the conclusion.
Although the three earth puppets before and after quickly collapsed and dissipated under the cover of green smoke, the increase in earth energy in the surrounding environment was almost the same as the energy required for the three earth puppets to be condensed.
The examination of Raymond's own vitality and internal energy also showed that although the time he lost when he fell into that illusion was not short, his own vitality was not seriously lost.
Obviously, although the green smoke that gathers but does not disperse has the effect of accelerating the passage of time and causing hallucinations, the green smoke itself will not gradually grow stronger because of this ability!
In this case, the green smoke blocking the fence only needs to be avoided.
This green smoke that cannot be touched by perception and any substance containing energy cannot touch it also gives Raymond a headache.
Because the green smoke lingering in front of the fence. It completely covers the blocking force field behind it. Even if Raymond's body is energized, he cannot guarantee that he can bypass it without touching the green smoke.
After thinking for a long time. Raymond finally decided to use the most reliable method, so he called back the single-eyed sand man Shaliman. After telling it the situation here, he released a dozen earth puppets, asked them to hold hands and arrange them in order from low to high energy, and then let the earth puppet with the smallest volume and the lowest energy content step into the green smoke.
The green smoke in front of the fence continued to expand after wrapping the first earth puppet, and finally wrapped all the puppets close to the left side of the passage.
Raymond, who was standing aside and waiting patiently, couldn't help but pull a smile when he saw the green smoke moving upward after the first earth puppet collapsed, and his figure flashed to the front of the fence.
The upward movement of the green smoke made a gap in the cut fence, and when the third earth puppet collapsed, the gradually moving green smoke completely gave way to the fence, allowing Raymond to easily step into it.
Let the single-eyed sand man Shaliman use this method to guide the green smoke to continue to rise, and Raymond broke through the barrier behind the fence and entered it.
The narrow and winding passage is dozens of meters long, and when Raymond walked to the corner at the end, the space in front of him made his pupils shrink.
Because at the end of the passage, there is a huge cave. The stalactites on the top of the cave, which isolate the thin mist above and below, and the cold pool surrounded by ice below, are exactly the same as what he saw in the environment before!
Raymond, who did not release his perception to check, faced the stone platform in front of him, which was only three meters long. With a thought, he held a very long axe in his hand, and then he began to check forward carefully.
But unlike the warning signs in his heart before, whether it was the test of the long axe or his step forward, the stone platform was normal, which was completely opposite to what he saw in the illusion before.
Raymond, who didn't understand why, couldn't help but become more careful.
The wind puppet he released became his tool to explore the cave.
The stalactites on the top were as dense as a forest of guns, and there was nothing unusual.
The hard cave wall was also normal under the inspection of the wind puppet.
The ice fog that separated the entire cave from top to bottom was also normal.
And when the wind puppet finally fell on the top of the cold pond, Raymond found that the induction between the puppet and him became a little difficult, and the temperature around the cold pond was also a little terribly low.
Because of the extreme cold, the speed of the wind puppet became slow.
But Raymond still controlled the wind puppet to check the bottom of the entire cold pond. After confirming that there were no other exits and no abnormalities in the entire cave, he slowly descended to the side of the cold pond.
After he cut the ice around the cold pond horizontally, he actually saw the frozen marks in it that looked like tree rings.
Obviously, the ice mass surrounding the cold pond was not frozen all at once, but was frozen very slowly, causing the inside to look like this.
Sensing exploration, detection of environmental energy concentration, and spectral analysis activated by the chip allowed Raymond to get the data he needed after half an hourglass.
The temperature above and below the cave has a very clear dividing line, and the area with the lowest temperature is naturally the deep cold pond where ice mist is constantly rising.
The surface temperature of the seemingly calm cold pond is as low as minus 100 degrees, and the detection of the ice water in the cold pond shows that there is nothing abnormal about this water except the extremely low temperature.
But!
In the natural environment, how can liquid water at minus 100 degrees appear!
Raymond, who felt more and more that there was something abnormal in the cold pond, fell into deep thought.
Such a low temperature is not a problem for him.
But the cave with only the entrance where he came in is obviously not a completely closed environment.
But in the case where no other exits can be found, it is obvious that there must be other exits in the cold pond.
However, what kind of risks are contained in this bottomless cold pool? This is something Raymond cannot control or guess.
From a rational point of view, he knows that he should quickly turn back and leave here.
However, he only knows about the information about the ghost plane. Talist and the weird old dean of the Red Marsh Wetland Wizard Academy know it, and several resources that are extremely important to Crystal are also only produced in the ghost plane.
The interference of the illusion, the green smoke that speeds up the flow of time, and the extremely cold water, all of which show that this place is not simple, but whether to give up or believe the information revealed by the previous spirit Mines and continue to explore, Raymond, who fell into deep thought, couldn't help but hesitate... (To be continued...)
