Chapter 348 Illusion

Wu Jianghao came to Su Yuan and his companions and said, "Messengers, the Xiqu River is ahead."

"The Xiqu River is really spectacular!" Tang Jiao's eyes lit up as she looked at the river running in the distance, and she immediately took out her phone to take a few photos.

Su Yuan and his companions also looked at it from a distance, and it was also their first time seeing the Xiqu River.

The Xiqu River is a large river that runs from east to west all the way to the West Sea. It is surrounded by water and mist all year round, which is quite magnificent.

Wu Jianghao said to them, "If ordinary people want to cross the Xiqu River, they usually have to take a detour to Huicheng in the east. For our team, we can just fly over directly."

For such a large river, there must be a way for ordinary people to pass through it.

For example, in some cities in the east, there are ports or bridges in places where the river is narrow and the river flow is gentle, which can lead to the other side.

But if the escort team also takes a detour like this, the entire journey will take at least three or four more days.

Since the escort team are all Yao-star level masters who can fly, there is no need to take a detour.

Although there is a little water light and mist, there is no danger.

The upper three-level masters traveling between the north and the south usually fly directly over.

Wu Jianghao said politely to Su Yuan and others: "Messengers, let's rest for a while in front and prepare to move forward. It will cost a lot to fly over the Xiqu River."

As an official veteran Yao-star level, Wu Jianghao is very clear about the strength of the Xuntian Division.

In the last attack by the Baiyan Association, the strength of Su Yuan and the other "Xuntian Division newcomers" was stronger than Wu Jianghao expected!

This made Wu Jianghao more convinced and dared not neglect it.

"All right!" Xiong Chunyang said indifferently.

Tang Jiao nodded and said, "It's up to General Wu to order."

Su Yuan and the others naturally had no objection. After several days of traveling, everyone was indeed a little tired. Yaoxing Star was not a god, so proper rest was still necessary.

"Well, then let's rest here. I'll take a few people to the river to have a look."

Tang Jiao said, "General Wu, I'll go with you."

"Okay, thank you for troubling Envoy Tang." Wu Jianghao agreed with a smile, and then took Tang Jiao and a few men to investigate on the river.

The rest of the people rested where they were.

Su Yuan and Lin Chongyun sat down on the spot. Xiong Chunyang looked at Su Yuan and the others. He wanted to leave directly, but after thinking for a while, he also sat down where he was.

While Su Yuan was resting to recover, he used his farsightedness to detect the river.

The water light was full of mist, which slightly blocked the sight, but Su Yuan had an omniscient vision, and he could see everything at a glance.

"I see that the skills you use seem to be fire and space. Did you give the skill you used last time to someone else?" Lin Chongyun asked Su Yuan casually.

Hmm?

Xiong Chunyang beside him immediately pricked up his ears. It seemed that the two had met before?

"That's right." Su Yuan nodded and asked, "As a thunder archer, it's no wonder that you were so satisfied with that skill at the beginning. So, even if I don't take out the Qingshen Yaolei Bamboo Branch, you should also change it, right?"

Lin Chongyun nodded calmly and said, "That's right."

Su Yuan smiled and didn't think it was too regrettable.

He had made a lot of money in the last transaction, and accidentally obtained Tianyun Purple Iron, which might be an important material for refining star tools in the future.

And the bamboo branches of Qingshen Yaolei Bamboo are still renewable items for him.

At this point, Su Yuan thought of the situation in Qingming Realm again.

Although Qingming Realm has established a connection with the main world through itself as a transit, it can absorb the star power of the outside world.

But after all, it is absorbed from the main world, and the speed is limited, which leads to the fact that the concentration of star power in Qingming Realm is always not high, at least it will not exceed the concentration of the outside world.

Affected by the concentration of star power, the growth rate of various thunder bamboos in the bamboo sea is also very slow.

There are some ways to solve this problem, such as decomposing a large number of star stones, such as building a barrier...

But these methods are only temporary solutions. If you want to solve this problem fundamentally, there is only one way...

That is the star vein!

If there is a star vein in Qingming Realm, even the lowest level dog vein among the four star veins of dragon, tiger, wolf and dog, it is more than enough for the current self and Qingming Realm.

The last time Qingming Realm absorbed the bamboo sea in the center of Jilei Ridge, Su Yuan was not only able to plunder the bamboo sea, mountains, and rivers through Qingming Realm, but even the underground star veins could be faintly felt!

Maybe it is really possible to plunder star veins through Qingming Realm, but it is not a simple matter.

Star veins are the foundation, and they are extremely precious. Almost all places with star veins are occupied by forces.

Although I have an idea, I still have to think about it in the long run...

Not long after, Wu Jianghao and Tang Jiao returned and did not find anything unusual.

So, after resting for two or three hours, everyone prepared to cross the river.

"According to the method mentioned before, each of you should take your position and set off!" Wu Jianghao called out.

There was fog on the river. To avoid accidents, Wu Jianghao asked the three-headed Gangyan dragon to stay close together, and the other Yaoxing-level supervisors all formed a circle around the three-headed Gangyan dragon, and flew across the Xiqu River in this way.

Everyone stood still, and soon, Wu Jianghao and a group of supervisors from the Arctic Prison took the lead.

Lin Chongyun suggested: "The vision is blocked. For safety reasons, we should also separate and guard in different directions."

Tang Jiao nodded in agreement: "Okay, then separate in the northwest, northeast, southwest, and southeast corners!"

Su Yuan and Xiong Chunyang had no objections.

The four people immediately dispersed, and in addition to the supervisors surrounding the three-headed Gangyan dragon, they also dispersed in the four corners of the team, among which Su Yuan flew in the southeast corner.

Su Yuan opened his omniscient vision. Although there was fog, he could see everything in his field of vision.

The team moved forward step by step, and soon disappeared into the fog.

Not only did the figure disappear into the fog, but even the sound became weaker as if blocked, which is also the characteristic of the water light fog.

Time passed little by little.

As the team moved forward, the fog became thicker as they approached the center of the river, but it did not have much impact on Su Yuan.

Su Yuan turned his head and saw that Tang Jiao, Lin Chongyun, and Xiong Chunyang were all on guard.

Then Su Yuan looked far away and looked into the distance, which was still quite a distance from the river bank.

"At this speed, we have to move forward for a while..."

Su Yuan retracted his gaze, glanced around again, and then followed the team forward.

It was just that the white fog was endless, and time seemed to be stretched unconsciously in these wisps of fog...

I don't know how long it took, it seemed to be just a moment, and it seemed to have passed for a long time.

Su Yuan turned his head and saw that Tang Jiao, Lin Chongyun, and Xiong Chunyang were also on guard.

Then Su Yuan looked far away and looked into the distance, which was still quite a distance from the river bank.

"At the current speed, I'm afraid we'll have to go on for a while..."

Su Yuan retracted his gaze and scanned the surroundings again...

"Pig...man..."

But at this time, a slightly familiar voice seemed to sound faintly in the surrounding void.

"Pig...man?" Su Yuan's heart moved slightly, what was that, but this voice was very familiar.

"Master...man..."

"Master..."

"Puff!"

Su Yuan's pupils suddenly shrank: "Ruanruan!"

"Puff! Puff puff!"

The clearer the voice sounded in his ears, the world in front of Su Yuan suddenly collapsed and fell into darkness.

The next moment, Su Yuan opened his eyes, and the whole person suddenly woke up, and immediately looked around.

The fog in front was like a dragon, and the water light was all over the sky.

He and others were still on the riverside, and everyone around them closed their eyes and stood there, even the three-headed Gangyan dragon had not gathered together, as if time had gone back to when everyone had not set out yet.

On his shoulder, the slime Ruanruan kept calling: "Puji! Puji! Puji Puji!"

"Illusion!"

Su Yuan's heart trembled.

When Ruanruan saw Su Yuan wake up, she was overjoyed and clung to Su Yuan's face.

"Puji Puji (Master, Master)!"

Su Yuan pinched it: "Ruanruan, thanks to you."

Ruanruan was very excited: "Puji!"

Su Yuan pinched Ruanruan and quickly scanned the field. The team members seemed to have no changes except for being drowsy. They breathed evenly and were not injured.

However, Su Yuan immediately found the difference.

"One person is missing!"

Su Yuan's eyes condensed. There were originally three prisoners in the cage in the middle, but now there were only two. One was missing.

Since it was an escort mission, Su Yuan had already memorized the information of the seven prisoners in his mind, and the figure of a green-eyed young man suddenly appeared in his mind.

"Qiongying."

Qiongying seems to be an evil card master from the north, with an unknown background.

According to the information provided by Wu Jianghao, this man captured a large number of star card masters as sacrifices in order to practice secret arts, including several Yao-star masters from Yanluo.

Even the team of more than 60 people sent to capture him, including four Yao-star masters, were all slaughtered and sacrificed by him, and finally fled all the way to the east.

Yanluo requested Dayan and Heixue to help intercept him. The Patrol Department attached great importance to it and, considering its threat, directly sent a Huiyue-level envoy to chase him.

Even so, it took a lot of effort to catch him.

Su Yuan went to the nearest Tang Jiao to check, but raised his eyebrows: "Superb illusion."

Generally speaking, if someone is hit by an illusion, others can try to force the target to wake up.

But some illusions are more special, such as the illusion that everyone in the team is hit by now.

It is not aggressive in itself, it just makes people fall into an illusion, but if an outsider forcibly wakes the person up, it may cause mental damage to the person being treated.

Of course, it is not that Su Yuan has a sharp vision to see this, but that the caster deliberately shows this trait.

So it was only after Ruanruan discovered this that she didn't dare to use extreme methods, and could only keep calling out to try to make Su Yuan realize the abnormality and wake up.

What the other party wanted was to restrict the escort team as much as possible.

As for how he fell into the illusion, Su Yuan guessed that it was probably related to the Xiqu River and even the fog, but now was not the time to think too much.

"Ruanruan, how long have we been here?"

"Puji Puji (a few minutes)!"

Su Yuan and Ruanruan had a quick exchange and understood the situation at the time.

According to Ruanruan, it forced itself out of the beast control space after it realized that it had stopped moving, which was probably a few minutes.

And after it came out, the situation around it was already like this.

"A few minutes..."

Su Yuan looked into the thick fog, and the omniscient vision was fully activated, and he opened his farsightedness to search the other side of the Xiqu River.

But until the limit of the omniscient vision, Su Yuan couldn't see anyone else, nor did he find anything unusual.

There was no result ahead, so Su Yuan turned his gaze and carefully checked around and behind him, but still found nothing.

"It's only a few minutes, where can we go? Is there a skill similar to [Space Gate]?"

Su Yuan raised his eyebrows. In terms of displacement and teleportation, space skills can be said to be the strongest.

Even if other non-space star card masters get skills like [Teleportation Gate], they cannot fully exert its power.

It is almost impossible to fly out of the range of one's vision within a few minutes.

"Where can we go..."

"Puchi Puchi!"

Ruanruan suddenly had an idea and transformed into a pair of small hands and pointed at the water.

Su Yuan's expression moved slightly, and he immediately walked to the shore and searched carefully underwater.

At first, he saw nothing.

However, when Su Yuan searched more than ten kilometers west along the Xiqu River, he suddenly found something.

"I almost let you get away..."

Su Yuan made seals with his hands, and silver light gathered in front of him. Not long after, a space gate opened.

Looking at the people on the shore, Su Yuan took out his long sword and slashed with it, leaving the words "Xi Liu" on the shore.

Then Su Yuan put away the softness, stepped into the space door, and disappeared on the spot...
