Chapter 264 Invisible Shadow

There is a muddy, dark tidal flat under your feet, and there are tangled low trees around you. Not far away is the somewhat turbid sea water.

Slightly turbid waves crashed in, blurring the coastline.

Obviously, this is a mangrove forest on the edge of a small island.

It was evening at this moment, the sky was dim and the night sky was dark, but Colin's strong eyesight allowed him to still see everything around him clearly.

He turned his head and looked toward the sea. Beyond the trees, a simple brown wooden boat came into view. It was floating not far away, swaying with the waves.

‘Perhaps it was the small boat that the tree elf hybrid and Lial took to come to the island here...'

He speculated secretly, and then carefully observed the surroundings again.

The humid mangrove forest is extremely quiet. The only conspicuous living creature within sight is the fiddler crab in the trees on the left. Its dark blue shell makes it blend into the surrounding environment. If it were not moving, it would be really bad. Discover.

‘I don’t know where the small island here is. ’ Colin looked back and sighed slightly.

After using witchcraft to investigate the surroundings again, he came to the side of the brown boat, put it into the storage ring, and then cautiously flew into the sky.

Although it was dark now, just in case, Colin did not fly very high, just to do a little reconnaissance of the surroundings.

The island here is not safe, and no one knows if anyone besides the tree elf hybrid and Lial knows about this island that can enter the elven kingdom.

Furthermore, he didn't know if the tree elf hybrid and Lial had any other accomplices who knew they were here.

Therefore, the first thing that should be done now is to leave here as soon as possible.

As the height gradually increased, the entire island was revealed to Colin.

This is a mini-island that is roughly drop-shaped. It is not large in area. From one end of the island to the other, it is no more than two kilometers.

Therefore, the specific situation above can be seen clearly at a glance.

With sparse vegetation and exposed rocks, this is the most common desert island on the sea. The only special thing is probably the mangrove forest under his feet.

Colin withdrew his gaze and continued to look around in the distance.

It didn't take long before he discovered an island with lush vegetation that looked more suitable for a temporary settlement and planning.

"Naxi, hold on tight." Colin said to Naxi behind him, then lowered his height and flew towards the good island.

Where the sea and the sky meet, the dark red sunset is sinking. The spreading golden light ignites the surrounding clouds, and the golden embers fall on the sea below, emitting sparkling waves.

Now, as a first-level wizard, he activates the soaring light technique and maintains a cruising state. With his current magical power, he can fly continuously for about half a day.

And if you use the first-level low-level flying and diving technique, the cruising time can be increased to one day, and the overall flying distance is longer.

Both have their own pros and cons, but here Colin chose the Flame Soaring Technique.

Without him, the flying flame technique would be faster.

The sea at night is not suitable for traveling far, and even for him who is already a first-level wizard, this is still an extremely dangerous move.

Extinguishing the light of the Flame Soaring Technique, Colin blessed himself with the Swiftness Technique.

However, Wangshan is a dead horse, and the same is true for Wanghai Island.

It obviously didn't look like an island that was very far away, but when Colin arrived, there was only a trace of the setting sun left on the horizon.

After checking the island and confirming that there was no fresh water on the surface, no large beasts, and no human traces, and that it was just a desert island with lush vegetation, Colin's tense nerves relaxed slightly.

He took Naxi and disappeared into the forest.

As the last rays of the orange sunset slowly sink into the sea, night falls quickly.

Colin came to the top of the tree with a metal cone bomb suspended in his hand. He looked up at the starry sky, then looked at the cone bomb in his hand, and made a rough judgment.

‘This is still part of the southern sea. ’

Colin breathed a sigh of relief, jumped down from the top of the tree, and returned to his temporary footing on a thick tree.

Now that the location has been determined, and luckily it is still in the southern sea, the next plan becomes simple——

That means just keep heading north!

It's just... Colin was vaguely worried.

Through the starry sky above and the simple compass made of cone bombs, the range can only be narrowed to the southern sea.

But the southern sea area is not a small area.

And...this is where the war between wizards and gods takes place.

He thought again of the two strangers who were killed by him and Lilian in the Elf Kingdom.

A half-blood tree elf wizard, a Rial.

Rial...

You know, since the tree elves have fallen to the gods, Lial, who cooperated with them to overthrow the high elves, may also be inseparable from the gods.

An invisible haze enveloped Colin's heart, and he had a premonition that this journey back to the Siya continent might not be too peaceful.

'It would be great if there was a witchcraft that could hide one's figure like Lilian's Moon Veil of Concealment...' Such thoughts emerged subconsciously in Colin's mind.

And the next second, he suddenly remembered that he might actually have such witchcraft!

………………

The next day.

The sky was dimming, and a faint white mist was floating on the sea.

Standing on the top of the tallest tree on the island, Colin scanned the surrounding sea area to make sure there were no suspicious ships, and then returned to his temporary residence.

When he realized that he might be in a dangerous zone last night, he finally decided not to rush out for the time being and to make more preparations before hitting the road.

As for these preparations, the most important thing is to practice the hidden witchcraft called Invisible Shadow that he discovered from the tree elf hybrid storage ring last night!

This should be the concealment witchcraft used by the tree elf hybrid and Lial when they ambush.

It's a pity... I originally thought that this witchcraft should be at least a low-level one, but I never thought that the quality was not high, and it was only an upper-level zero level.

And there is a fatal flaw——

That is, dynamic objects cannot be hidden, and some outlines of the subject will be revealed when moving.

But correspondingly, the invisible light's static hiding ability is extremely strong. As long as the angle and position are chosen well, it can almost be compared to some low-level first-level concealment witchcraft.

'Better than nothing...' Colin continued to flip through the unfinished book of Invisible Shadow Witchcraft.

Even though this witchcraft cannot hide dynamic objects, on the sea, there are only some translucent outlines and no camouflage, but the difference is still very big.

In the vast expanse of the sea, there is no disguise whatsoever, and it may be clearly spotted on an island several sea miles away.

It only has a translucent outline. If some methods are used to make it less human-like, the possibility of being discovered will be greatly reduced.

In addition, now that I am wearing the Crown of Spiritual Enlightenment, I just take this opportunity to test my specific improvement in witchcraft learning.

"...So, the invisible shadow essentially uses magic power to condense the surrounding air, deflecting the light at a specific angle, so that the light received by the object behind it bypasses itself and is transmitted to the observer, thus achieving the effect of invisibility at the visual level."

After reading the last sentence, Colin discovered another shortcoming of Invisible Shadow——

If the subject is in contact with an object, then those contact surfaces that are blocked and have no light will be difficult to be completely hidden by the invisible shadow.

As we all know, we can see objects because the objects reflect light, and there is no light shining on those contact surfaces. Invisible shadows are naturally powerless.

But...compared to dynamic movement, this is just a small shortcoming, which can be solved by simply flying and levitating without contacting the surrounding environment.

After reading the last paragraph of the witchcraft book, Colin let out a breath of turbid air and prepared to start practicing.

He first quickly went through the entire knowledge and key points of Invisible Shadow in his mind.

Under the influence of the super brain, every character of what he just read emerged clearly... The only difference from before was that when Colin recalled the knowledge of invisible shadow witchcraft in his mind, an inspiration suddenly popped up in his mind. ——

"The ability of the invisible shadow to interfere with light may change the real image played in the image crystal..."

Such inspiration came out of nowhere, and the related things were completely unrelated... You must know that the production of photo crystals has been put aside by him due to lack of energy, and he has not continued to improve for a long time.

"Perhaps the light spell can be used to make up for the fact that invisible shadow cannot hide the places in contact with objects."

Then, another sudden thought came to mind.

At this time, Colin finally reacted. His lips moved and he murmured silently:

"Perhaps...this is the greatest effect of the Crown of Spiritual Enlightenment?"
