Chapter 564 Chameleon

"Don't worry about this. The mirage tapir is too big and can't completely pass through the transmission node. It will be stuck on the opposite side. At most, it can stick out its nose."

This was the answer given by the Deng God after Mu You consulted with him.

"Of course, the influence of mirage is unavoidable. The mirage tapir is a very playful creature. When it finds a novel place, it will stay for a while and will not leave until it is no longer interested. During this period, it will be filled with mirage. The area you want to detect and what happens within the scope of the mirage cannot be hidden from its perception. "

"However, no matter how large the scope of influence of mirage is, it cannot spread to the entire star spirit world. It can only cover one-third of the area at most. It cannot affect your forgotten land. Don't worry." The genie said. Yawning as he explained, he obviously didn't pay much attention.

"Can you only stretch your nose..."

Mu You pondered, in this way, the impact on human beings will indeed not be great. Anyway, the mirage cannot reach the earth, and Sky City can move at any time. If it encounters the mirage, it can just fly away. At most, the players will only be in the star spirit world. There are just a few less areas to set foot on.

However, the aborigines of the Star Spirit Realm are in a worse situation, especially those races whose gathering place happens to be within the scope of the mirage. They must either relocate their entire clan, or they can only live in the mirage for a long time.

Mu You had experienced the feeling of being in a mirage before, and it was by no means a good experience. In addition to falling asleep every few hours, he also had to face the problem of unusable props and the hunting of mirage-type creatures.

More importantly, each natural disaster season lasts for 5,000 years, and now the mirage season has just begun. If you are unlucky, the mirage tapir is likely to stay in the astral world for more than an era...

Even if the creatures in the star spirit world have the ability to resurrect, they cannot withstand such trouble. For intelligent races with choices, migration is almost an inevitable option.

And if one-third of the races in the Star Spirit Realm begin to migrate, the population density in the remaining areas will increase dramatically. By then, the turmoil caused by various survival and resource disputes will definitely not be small.

Mu You glanced at the group of city owners, and the discussion about mirage had not stopped yet.

"Have all the players evacuated the real world?"

"The information has been disclosed and we are retreating."

"Those who didn't withdraw... are probably dead..."

Jiuyou said the last thing, and everyone expressed their deep sympathy. A few days ago, several of their city lords joined forces to open up wasteland in Mirage Qi, but in the end they were all wiped out by the group, not to mention these ordinary players.

"Have those shrimp soldiers and crab generals discovered the entrance to the star spirit world?"

"Not yet, but according to the current trend, sooner or later..."

Mirage is such a thing that it spreads everywhere. Even if the exit of the Brave Tower is just a tiny ant hole compared to the Giant World, it cannot be missed.

The mirage tapir can sense the situation inside the mirage. Once the mirage spreads past the exit, it will almost certainly be noticed by the mirage tapir.

In fact, mirage penetrates faster than imagined.

At noon that day, some players who cleared the level in the Tower of Brave discovered that the top floors of the Tower of Brave were shrouded in mirage, causing the level-clearance determination to be abnormal.

Mu You urgently kicked all the players out of the tower and closed the Brave Tower.

But even so, it cannot stop the spread of mirage.

In just one hour, the entire Brave Tower was wrapped in mirage and rendered useless. The mirage even poured out from the windows and doors around the tower, flooding into the Village of Braves and the surrounding areas.

Mirage tapirs cannot pass through the teleportation point and cannot enter the star spirit world for the time being, but those shrimp soldiers and crab generals can.

Around four o'clock in the afternoon that day, several players reported that they found traces of mirage crabs and mirage shrimps near the Brave Village.

Fortunately, these shrimp soldiers and crabs will not be able to escape the range of the mirage. As long as the players always stay outside the range of the mirage, these shrimp soldiers and crabs will not pose a threat to them.

Mu You found a topographic map of the Star Spirit Realm and looked at it.

The location of the Brave Tower is in the White Maple City in the southern part of the Star Spirit Realm. White Maple City is located in the buffer zone between the human and elven forces. Therefore, after the mirage leaks from the Brave Tower, the first person to be affected is the Tower Si next door. The Nuo Empire, and the Sun Elves.

Fortunately for the Human Empire, the capital is relatively far away, and it is backed by a vast plain, so the capital can be moved and evacuated at any time.

The elves are in dire straits. Phoenix City, the royal city of the Sunlight Elves, is almost on the edge of White Maple City, and there are many important things in Phoenix City that cannot be taken away, such as the Phoenix Tree, the mother tree of the Phoenix. If the elves evacuate, It is equivalent to giving up the Phoenix clan that lives with them.

Based on Mu You's understanding of these daylight elves, it is impossible for them to move away. Most of them will stay and fight the invading mirage creatures in order to protect the Phoenix Tree.

Mu You held a moment of silence for these elves, and then continued to look outside.

In addition to the Sunlight Elves and the Tasino Empire, another familiar place name was included in the scope - the Fatima Empire.

Well, that is the country where the Secret Church is located.

"What a great opportunity!"

The clock watcher, who was chatting with Linglong, suddenly slapped his thigh.

"If the mirage is shrouded, the props cannot be used. Then will the secret crystals forged by these guys also become ineffective? If so, when the mirage is shrouded, wouldn't it be a good time to take action!" The watcher thought freely. .

Mu You pondered for a moment and found that what he said was really possible. The secret crystal is, after all, a man-made auxiliary prop. The mirage can even seal the relics of the real world, not to mention the props made by the Star Spirit Realm.

When the mirage comes, the Church of the Secret Arts will find that the crystal is invalid, and there will inevitably be a chaos, and it will be much easier to take action at that time.

"Come on!"

Mu You encouraged the two of them, but he didn't think of supporting them, because he himself was also in a mess.

On the map, bypassing the Fatima Empire and continuing to look to the lower left, thousands of miles away, there is a conspicuous black circular cave - the Lochmadi Abyss.

Yes, the Great Abyss located in the southwest corner of the Star Spirit Realm is just within the range that the mirage is about to cover, but it is luckier than the three unlucky guys in front, because it is far away from Baifeng City, and the mirage will not spread so quickly.

However, with the reminder from the night watchman just now, Mu You's mind moved: if the mirage can affect props, then will it also affect the operation of mechanical bodies?

The reason why creatures can survive and move in the mirage is that they are all flesh and blood, and mechanical life, although nominally called life, is essentially a pile of dead things, no different from the manufactured props. Theoretically, it should also crash under the mirage...

Mu You shook his head. This thought was a bit far-fetched. Even if the mirage tapir did not leave, it would take a long time for the mirage to spread to the abyss. Now it is better to withdraw from the abyss first.

Just like this, when the world was in an uproar because of the arrival of the mirage season, the few people in the pet shop were very calm. Mu You and his clones were doing their own things.

Time soon came to the evening.

[... Chunli's eyelashes moved slightly, opened her eyes, and woke up from her sleep. 】

【"System, what time is it? How long have I slept?" Chunli stretched lazily, drowsily combing the messy hair on her head. 】

【"You slept for a full fourteen hours." You replied. 】

【"No wonder, I'm so hungry... System, I want to exchange food!"】

The first thing the panda people do after getting up is to eat.

Mu You sent the takeaway food that he had prepared early into the game.

【Chunli is feasting...】

【Chunli ate all the food on the table, rubbing her belly and showing a satisfied smile...】

【"Huh? What is this?" The panda girl, who had eaten and drunk enough, noticed a scroll on the table. 】

【"The scroll of elf fighting that you have always wanted, you can learn elf fighting directly after tearing it open, but you need to practice hard to master it thoroughly."】

This scroll was exchanged by Mu You in the forest elf territory with Xiaoya. With his current reputation, it is only a matter of words to exchange such things among the elves.

[Chun Li picked up the scroll in surprise. Just as she was about to tear it open to study, she suddenly remembered something: "But I haven't accumulated enough points yet..."]

["It doesn't matter. This is for you. Just consider it a parting gift." You answered. ]

["Gift? That's great... Wait, parting?" Chun Li didn't have time to be happy before she suddenly realized the problem in your words. ]

["System, are you leaving?" Chun Li said nervously. ]

["Yes." ]

["Why?" ]

["You can see that I am not on the same side as the robots here. When the host wakes up and finds my existence, they will kill me. I must leave in advance." ]

[Chun Li was reluctant to leave after hearing this. She wanted to ask me to stay, but she couldn't find a suitable reason. ]

["The question now is, do you want to go with me?" You suddenly asked. ]

["Go together? Leave the Garden of Eden?" Chun Li was surprised. ]

["Yes, go to the land outside the Garden of Eden that truly belongs to you - the Star Spirit Realm." ]

["I..." Chun Li was hesitant after hearing this. ]

[After rubbing her hair and struggling for a long time, Chunli seemed to have made up her mind. ]

["Sorry, system, I can't go with you. Although I yearn for the outside world, I really can't leave my people behind and run away alone..."]

Mu You exhaled. Chunli's choice was not beyond his expectations. Anyone who suddenly leaves the environment where they grew up and goes to a strange place will hesitate. This is also good. It happens that it is quite chaotic outside now. Maybe it is safer to stay underground.

["Before leaving, I need your help with one thing." You spoke again. ]

["What is it?"]

["Take me to the dormant area and take a look at the situation inside."]

[Chunli hesitated a little when she heard this, but thinking that this was your last request, she nodded firmly: "Okay, I'll go with you!"]

Before finding an independent energy source, Mu You still had to rely on Chunli as a humanoid power source.

Half an hour later, the two set out again in the dark and headed for the robot territory behind the Garden of Eden.

【“Wait!” On the dark night road, you suddenly stopped Chunli. 】

【“What’s wrong?” Chunli asked blankly. 】

【“Go to the left and have a look… there might be treasure!” you said. 】

When passing this area just now, Muyou received a ‘sense of summons’ prompt again, and it seemed that there was something familiar to him nearby.

With the previous experience of the green bee sting, Muyou must not let it go.

【“Treasure!” Chunli’s eyes lit up, and she hurriedly put on her cloak and ran to the path on the left. 】

[Chun Li was jogging all the way, but suddenly stopped and hid behind a tree, because a high-level patrol robot appeared in front of her and was heading straight towards you...]

["Stop immediately if you find suspicious creatures, otherwise the attack program will be executed!" The patrol robot's scanning beam swept in your direction and raised the barrel of its right hand to you. ]

["System, didn't you say treasure? Why is it a patroller..." Chun Li wanted to cry but had no tears. ]

Mu You was also a little strange at this time. When he found this patrol robot just now, he even received a prompt again. The feeling of summoning came from this robot.

The question is how can the enemy make him feel summoned?

Mu You didn't have time to think about it at this time. The enemy was already in front of him, so Mu You had to adopt the same strategy as last time.

[You switch to the image of a transport robot, wrap Chun Li in it, and drive out from behind the tree. 】

【“Confirmed target: transport robot, judged as a damaged and out-of-control mechanical body, execute command: check, recycle...” The patrol robot broadcast the command and walked towards you...】

With the experience of the last time, Mu You did not give the opponent a chance to approach this time. After the opponent entered the farthest attack range of the green bee sting, he immediately took the initiative to attack.

【The blue light flashed like lightning and hit the robot's face directly, but was bounced out with a crisp sound...】

【“Under attack, confirmed as an enemy, execute the attack command, and start the alarm program...” The attacked robot instantly entered a combat posture, and the right hand gun fired at you. At the same time, the alarm device on the chest flashed a red light and made a harsh buzzing sound...】

“Huh?” Mu You was stunned.

The green bee sting is the weapon of the original armor. When it encountered the patrol robot last night, it killed it cleanly and neatly. It cut steel as easily as tofu. Why didn’t it work today?

Has the robot opposite been upgraded? The head is so hard!

There was no time to think, the alarm had already sounded, Mu You hurriedly went back according to the watch and attacked again.

[Time passed, you launched an attack again, this time aiming at the alarm device on the opponent's chest...]

[The green wasp sting turned into a flash of green light, easily pierced the alarm device, passed through the opponent's back, and then turned back at high speed, passing in front of the robot's neck...]

[In the flash of green light, a mechanical head flew up, and the rest of the mechanical body lost control, sparks flew all over the body, and fell straight to the ground...]

[A head rolled down not far in front of you, and the red light in the eyes was still scanning you...]

["Enemy found, confirmed to be an embedded life form... Uploading alarm information... Upload failed, intelligent circuit was disturbed... Warning: The body is overheated... The critical temperature has been exceeded..." The robot head broadcast a long voice, and the voice became more and more distorted, until finally, in a muffled sound, the robot head's eyes, ears, mouth and nose all emitted green smoke, and the light in the eyes also went out, as if it had completely died. 】

【"System, what's going on?" Chunli asked nervously. 】

Mu You was also confused at this moment.

After the beheading action just now, he found that the head was still alive. He was about to make another cut, but the mechanical head short-circuited and exploded.

【You came to the mechanical head and picked up the dead head. 】

【You found that the mechanical head seemed to be covered with a layer of special material. The summoning you felt came from this layer of material...】

【Before you could do anything, this layer of transparent material naturally fell off and fell into your hands. You threw away the remaining mechanical heads, and the transparent material in your hand was revealed... It turned out to be a sharp-edged helmet! 】

【Chameleon Mask: The mask part of the armor 'Chameleon' has super camouflage and concealment capabilities. After assembly, it can block external detection and make the body perfectly assimilated with the surrounding environment. It has a certain degree of autonomous consciousness. Attached to ordinary machinery, it can disrupt the actions of the mechanical body to a certain extent. Only the manipulation of the mechanical heart can be recognized. 】

Mu You was stunned after reading it, and hurriedly clicked on the "Chameleon" entry.

[Chameleon: One of the original armor. 】

Another part of the original armor!

No wonder even the green wasp sting could not penetrate the robot's head just now.

This set of armor has the ability to hide, just like its name Chameleon, it can perfectly hide itself in the surrounding environment. Before, this thing has been attached to the robot's head in a transparent state. For so many years, no one has discovered its existence, which shows how strong its concealment ability is.

What surprised Mu You even more was that this helmet actually indicated a certain degree of "autonomous consciousness". The robot's head exploded just now, probably because of this helmet.
