Chapter 299 The Power of the Son of Heaven

Mu You and his two companions walked on the streets of the city.

The layout of the city is very orderly, with square-shaped main roads dividing it into countless areas. In each area, there are many square streets branching out. If you look from above, the layout of all streets and buildings is a regular square, symmetrical from front to back and left to right. It looks like a work designed by a geometer with obsessive-compulsive disorder.

In addition, the most conspicuous thing in the city is the human sculptures distributed between the buildings.

These sculptures are not statues of gods or heroes, but the appearance of ordinary residents who once lived in this city, wearing simple or luxurious clothes, doing all kinds of work, full of fireworks.

The only similarity is that next to all the statues, there is a statue of a flying mount.

This is not difficult to understand. After all, this is a city in the sky, floating in the sky all year round. The residents who live here must have a flying mount.

"Boss, which way are we going?" After resting for a while, Xiaoya's seasickness symptoms improved a lot. At this moment, she looked around curiously and asked Mu You.

"According to the direction of the map, we should go straight to the west now... But this is a mirror world, let's go to the east first..." Mu You thought for a while and said.

This place is supposed to be hidden in the 'reflection' of the Star Spirit Realm. Since the map of Dawn City is in the normal direction compared to the evil spirit sea in the Star Spirit Realm, then after coming to this inverted world, the order of the map should also be reversed.

The three of them went straight to the main road to the east.

But after walking for a while, the three of them all found something wrong.

"Have you been to this place before?" Xiaoya looked at the familiar environment around her and spoke uncertainly.

The buildings in this place seem to be carved out of the same mold, which will give people a sense of déjà vu, so Xiaoya is not sure whether the overly similar scene in front of her is the location she just passed.

"Yes, I have been here, and the layout of the buildings in front has changed." Lin Xue confirmed Xiaoya's guess and made some additions.

"It seems that the buildings here are constantly changing... No wonder we need a map..."

Mu You sighed. He had discovered that the terrain here was like a moving maze. Every plot of land was constantly changing, so if you walked in one direction, you would only keep spinning in a circle within a range and never get out.

This is also the meaning of the map: you must move in the specified order of the buildings marked on the map to get out of this maze.

If there is no map, you need to try one way after another until you figure out the movement rules of the plots. If you are less lucky, how much longer will it take to pass?

Of course, compared to the map, the more troublesome thing is the no-fly zone above your head.

Mu You has tried it. The flying spell cannot be used here, and flying creatures such as war eagles, as long as they are summoned, will be instantly killed by a strange energy.

This locks out their possibility of observing the terrain from high altitude.

"Don't go, wait here." Mu You shook his head and decisively gave up the idea of ​​continuing to hurry.

Instead of wandering around like a headless fly, it would be better to wait for the emperor's people to appear here, and then follow them to move, so that they can pass faster.

The two of them had no objection, and then the three of them found a hidden place near the lake at the entrance and hid.

About ten minutes later, the lake in front of them surged, and dozens of ships of various types floated to the surface one after another.

The appearance of these ships was already in tatters, and the hull structure was maintained entirely by magic, otherwise it would fall apart in minutes.

Soon, a large number of people went ashore from the ships one by one and gathered on the shore.

"There are so many people..." Mu You was secretly shocked.

At this moment, there were at least six or seven hundred people on the shore, and judging from the action mode, at least two-thirds of them were the real bodies who came in personally through the door.

Mu You was not surprised by this.

According to the analysis data of a previous survey post on the forum, the existing "doors" on the earth are basically evenly distributed according to the region, and there are about 50 doors in every 10 million square kilometers.

According to this rule, the total number of "doors" on the earth should be around 2,500. However, since many doors appear in the ocean and have not been discovered yet, the number of doors that have actually been mastered by humans is about 1,000.

However, the major forces in the world have announced that the total number of "doors" that have been confirmed to exist is only more than 300.

In other words, there are still a considerable number of doors that have not been announced. A few of them are in private hands like Mu You, but more are kept secret by major forces as trump cards.

For example, the Dragon Group claims to have only two doors, but the actual number is definitely far more than this number, and in an emergency, it can also "borrow" doors from allied forces. Mu You believes that if the country really needs it, it is not difficult to raise and borrow double-digit doors at any time.

This is also the reason why Mu You once revealed to the Blood Emperor that he had a door, but the Dragon Group and the Abnormal Adjustment Bureau did not ask about it afterwards. On the one hand, it is because of the binding mechanism of the door that basically locks the identity of people entering the door; on the other hand, doors are not really a scarce resource for the real top forces.

So Mu You was not surprised that a force like Divine Right of Kings, which is one of the top ten in the world, could mobilize more than five gates.

Let's get back to the point. Seeing hundreds of people on the shore moving towards the city, the three of them hurriedly followed behind without making a sound.

There is also a very troublesome problem in this city, which is that it will exclude non-fools, resulting in the bodies of Vivian and Grandma Lin Xue being unable to be used here. Otherwise, if two legendary shells were directly pulled up, the human wave tactics on the opposite side would be nothing.

Now, we can only hide and develop in a shabby way.

A group of people in front were running fast in the city, along a winding road, and the direction of travel was quite clear. This is the advantage of having a map.

Mu You and the other two did not dare to get too close, and hung far behind.

Fortunately, Mu You had locked the fragments on the emperor's body with the Phantom Thief Skin before, and could sense the location of the fragments at any time at this moment, and would not lose them because of the distance.

However, just after following for two streets, Mu You suddenly felt that the position of the fragment had changed, and it turned to a new direction at a very fast speed.

Mu You hurriedly caught up and saw that the huge crowd in front was still moving normally, but the fragment was taken to a completely opposite direction by someone.

"The other party has divided their troops. They probably realized that we were following them and moved the fragment away..." Mu You said.

"Oh?" Lin Xue also quickly understood what the other party meant: this was forcing them to make a choice, chasing the fragment or continuing to follow the main force, and they could only choose one way.

"Which way to chase?" Lin Xue asked.

"Fragment!" Mu You made a decision without much hesitation.

He certainly knew that the purpose of the person who took the fragment was to lead him away, and he would definitely not follow the map honestly, and most of the time he would take a detour.

But in any case, the fragment itself is genuine. Fragment 9 has been snatched by him, and the other party has only 136 fragments left. No matter which one he snatches, he can use it.

As Mu You and the other two walked away, the area near the entrance fell into complete silence.

But what neither of them noticed was that shortly after everyone left, a hundreds-meter-long octopus foot quietly floated to the surface of the lake at the entrance.

After struggling in the water for a few seconds, countless suckers on the surface of the octopus foot squirmed and swam to the shore.

After it completely climbed onto the shore, a crack opened in the middle of the octopus foot, and an eye grew out of it, shaking left and right, looking at the surrounding environment.

After scanning for several minutes, the octopus foot suddenly coiled up like a snake, squeezed inward frantically, and squeezed into a ball of meat, and finally suddenly exploded, turning into countless small octopuses the size of a palm.

The dense octopuses piled up like maggots on the street into a small hill, and then quickly dispersed in all directions, climbing towards the streets in the city...

Mu You didn't know what happened at the entrance. At this moment, he was chasing the fragment with all his strength, because the expiration time of the appointment letter was approaching, and he had to catch up with the other party as soon as possible to snatch the fragment, or at least give a new appointment letter to keep it locked.

After chasing for more than 20 minutes, Mu You finally caught up with the figure in front.

However, the scene he saw surprised him a little.

There was only a blond and blue-eyed young man who transferred with the fragment, and there was no teammate around him, and the ID above his head was also very clear: Emperor.

At this moment, the other party may feel that he has taken them far enough away, so he stopped by a stone sculpture and waited for them to get closer.

Mu You approached and checked it with the omniscient crystal.

[The Chosen One, Level 20 (Evolved): Strength 45, Agility 65, Intelligence 68, Constitution 51, HP 10500, Magic 8800, Current Skin: Word Spirit Envoy. ]

From this attribute, it should be the real body of the Emperor, not some clone.

"I have to say, you are very brave. You dare to lead us here alone." Mu You walked slowly, and Lin Xue walked to the other side with a sickle in hand.

As for Xiaoya, her combat power was too far behind, but she also held a fragment in her hand to prevent being suppressed by the human rank, and summoned a large number of summoned creatures to protect herself at the first time.

The three gradually stood in a siege, blocking the opponent's retreat.

"Because I need to confirm the strength of the few people with my own eyes, bringing others here will interfere with my judgment." The Emperor turned a blind eye to the actions of the three people, spoke without changing his face, and stated his purpose quite honestly.

"Oh? Then aren't you afraid of being left here by the two legendary rank of us?" Mu You said.

"I still have some confidence in saving my life."

The emperor did not say much, but his words showed strong confidence: "In addition, I actually don't think you have reached the legendary level now."

"Then you guessed wrong, I am really a legendary level!" Mu You said.

The emperor did not intend to argue, he took out a map fragment from his body and showed it to Mu You: "The fragment is here, if you have the ability, come and take it."

Mu You rushed up and launched an attack.

The opponent clearly wanted to verify his strength and waited for him to take action, but the fragment was already in front of him, it was impossible not to grab it, it would be better to fight quickly.

Mu You's magic wand moved, and he started with several wind blades.

Facing the invisible wind blade, the emperor did not dodge, until he was about to hit, he suddenly said: "Barrier!"

"Bang Bang..."

A series of crisp collisions, the wind blade seemed to hit some invisible wall, and it was completely eliminated in front of the emperor, not hurting him at all.

Mu You didn't care, and after starting, he shook out the dark world on the spot.

It was already late at night, and the cost of the vampire skin was already close to the maximum. The use of the dark world here was mainly to block the opponent's sight.

The effect of the dark world, the closer it is to midnight, the more powerful it can deprive of light.

The sky was pitch black, and it instantly enveloped the surrounding area for several miles, and the area was completely in a state of pitch black.

Mu You, Lin Xue and Xiao Ya all had night vision training from the forest elves, so they could ignore this kind of darkness, which was an absolute home advantage.

However, before this home advantage could be brought into play, the three heard the surrounded emperor utter a word clearly: "Light!"

The surroundings of the emperor were instantly illuminated by white light, but the light did not spread out, but formed a sphere with a radius of about three meters with him as the center.

The inside of the circle was as bright as day, but outside the circle, it was still pitch black.

When the white light came on, Lin Xue's attack had arrived first, and the sickle slashed at the emperor from behind.

The emperor seemed to have eyes on his back, and when the tip of the knife was about to hit him, he uttered another word: "Dodge."

His body suddenly twisted into an incredible angle, narrowly avoiding the blade.

Lin Xue's knife slashed into the air, and while releasing the force, he heard another word from the emperor: "Needle!"

Countless tiny bone spurs suddenly appeared around Lin Xue, piercing towards Lin Xue like thousands of arrows piercing her heart.

At this time, the retreat was blocked, and no matter how fast Lin Xue was, she had no time to dodge. Her scarlet cloak could only block one attack due to the cooling, and she was helpless in the face of such a range of intensive attacks.

Fortunately, when the bone spurs were about to hit, Mu You remotely supported a life barrier.

The next second, countless white thorns pierced down, and Lin Xue's body was bleeding. Her life was rapidly declining, but under the life barrier that was lit, she maintained the last bit of life and hurriedly withdrew from the range of the white light.

The emperor did not chase him out, but stayed in the center of the white light, looking around vigilantly.

"Word Spirit?"

Mu You frowned. This person's fighting style made him realize the name of the skin he had just seen, what "Word Spirit God Envoy", it seems to be a word spirit ability, as long as you say it, it can be realized immediately.

Of course, the actual effect is not so terrible, the opponent's word spirit obviously has huge limitations.

First of all, the range. Judging from the spherical white light, the opponent's word spirit should only be effective within a radius of three meters.

Secondly, the word spirit also consumes magic power, and the consumption is directly proportional to the content of the word spirit. The stronger the word spirit effect, the stronger the consumption. If the magic power is not enough, it cannot be activated.

This is why when Lin Xue entered the attack range of the emperor just now, the emperor did not directly say the words of "die" for her, because the words of direct death were too outrageous, and the magic power consumed would definitely far exceed his limit, so he could only use ordinary attack methods to indirectly kill her.

The opponent's ability was quite terrifying at first glance, but since there was a flaw, it was much easier to deal with.

Mu You first tried to release a "throat lock" to the opponent. Since it was a "word" spirit, as long as he was not allowed to speak, it would naturally be the most direct way to target him.

The word spirit had no way to dodge the directional spell of "throat lock", and it was successfully hit as soon as it was launched.

But what was unexpected was that a voice came from the emperor's side immediately afterwards: "Release!"

Then the effect of the throat lock was lifted.

Mu You heard it clearly, the sound did not come from the emperor's mouth, but from his body, probably some kind of magical voice ability that could bypass the vocal cords. Thinking about it, it was right. The opponent knew the flaws of his ability and would definitely make up for it in advance.

"Don't get close to the other party, use long-range attacks, and go all out!"

Mu You said to the two of them, and then launched an attack, firing fireballs and wind blades one after another.

Since he couldn't stop the other party from speaking, he could only fight to consume them. When he had magic power, the other party's ability was almost invincible, but as long as the magic power was exhausted, the words would naturally fall apart.
