The epic story of green monsters

Chapter 587 Illusion
  Allen stood on Figueras's broad back and let it carry him upwards. After crossing the clouds more than ten miles thick, they could already see the top of the solitary peak in front of them.

On the top of the mountain with the entire top flattened, the ruins of a temple building covering an area of ​​more than ten miles appeared in front of Allen and the others. Compared with the maze that Allen had explored, the buildings in front of them at least allowed Allen and the others to Get a glimpse of the whole thing.

"This was the core area of ​​the 'Huansha' sect back then. If I hadn't led you the way, you wouldn't have been able to get here so easily."

The petite body of the phantom flower demon was flying in the void. His right arm, which was smaller than Allen's fingers, pointed at the building complex and said in a somewhat deep tone.

"There are quite a few good things inside, but most of them are hidden deep inside. Whether you can find them or not depends on your luck."

"..."

It seems that this flower demon has a deep understanding of the ruins in front of him. Allen looks at this white and mysterious phantom flower demon, and he has more doubts in his heart.

There was deep greed in Figueras' eyes, and the green light on his body had transformed into a bugbear. He rushed out without even saying hello to Allen.

Allen was not in a hurry, so he flew into the air first and searched for traces of Ariel and the others. It's a pity that the scene of hacking them in the dream was fake, otherwise if he really had such an opportunity, Allen would still not show mercy.

As for the follow-up incident that may lead to the pursuit of the saint Da Vinci, now that Allen thinks about it, the possibility is really unlikely. Firstly, Cozmo's status in the Pale Night tribe may not alarm Da Vinci as much as in the dream, let alone take action against him personally; secondly, the Mansa Alliance is not a decoration, and the problems between the two tribes are as follows. The leader cannot act so recklessly.

Not to mention, the saint in the dream was too powerful, almost completely crushing Allen, who was fighting for his life, without any damage to himself. There were many problems in itself, but Allen did not think deeply about this level at the time.

However, Allen did gain a lot in terms of the state of mind in the dream. After waking up, Allen felt that his whole mind became more transparent, and he became more calm when looking at people and problems. However, Allen did not He couldn't be sure whether these changes were real or his own illusions, or he would have to wait until he returned from the exploration before he could think about it carefully.

"What are you looking for? Are they the three adventurers?"

Relying on his immortality, the phantom flower demon came up to Allen and looked at him curiously.

"I'll take you a shortcut. They haven't climbed to the top of the mountain yet, but if you don't hurry up and search for the loot, they will soon arrive to fight with you."

"Why help us?"

Allen raised his head and asked seriously, staring at the illusion in front of him.

"Because you are special!!"

The flower demon's expression also became serious, and he said sincerely: "Among the five people who entered the demiplane this time, the two kobolds and one troll who were traveling together are too old, and it is already time for their souls to return to the Styx. It’s not far away; and you and that innocent dragon are very young and have a bright future, so I used the power of the plane to drag you into the dreamland for investigation.”

"Your wisdom, character, and strength are all excellent. You can be said to be the best genius I have ever seen. I am very optimistic about your future. Therefore, I hope you can take me to the outside world. After spending tens of thousands of years here, I am really tired of it.”

The flower demon looked at Allen expectantly, waiting for his answer.

Allen was not a newbie, and he would definitely not be deceived by the other party's words. He retorted and pointed out the flaw: "In so many years, we will not be the only ones who come to explore the ruins. If you really want to go out, , I can go out a long time ago."

"Because I am just a remnant soul. If there is no container to hold my remnant soul, I will disappear in a short time. And this container is too important to me, but for any adventurer, it is just A treasure of extremely high value, if I can easily tell these adventurers the location of the container, then when they get it, my life will be in their hands."

"You also know the characters of the adventurers outside. Objects that cannot enhance their strength will eventually be sold by them at any time. I don't want them to become goods that can be exchanged at will."

"Then why do you believe me? Aren't you afraid that after I get your parasitic container, I will turn around and sell you?"

"Do you think the dream I weaved is that simple? Everything you do in the dream is actually a test of your character. Now I know you better than you know yourself."

"Although your behavior is too ruthless and you will show no mercy, as long as it does not harm the interests of you and your tribe and does not show any malice, you can keep the promises you made."

Phantom held his head proudly, looking like he had already calculated something.

"you……"

Allen frowned. The dream didn't seem to have much influence on him, but the thought of being manipulated by the other party in the dream was something that any strong person would be disgusted with.

"Hey, don't be too quick to get angry. You've made a profit this time, okay?"

Phantom noticed the displeasure on Allen's face and quickly explained.

"The dreams I weave are actually equivalent to your second life: by providing you with various convenient conditions, I let you go through a smooth stage, thereby amplifying your original desires and seeing the beast hidden in your heart. "

"If you can face your own desires and desires and transcend yourself, then you have the possibility of being promoted to a saint far higher than others."

"You should thank me. Without this dream of mine, it would not be easy for you to achieve self-understanding and understanding in the future."

"Especially because your self-discipline and rational thinking are too strong. Do you think it is possible to release your own desires in reality?"

"Look at that little lizard over there. He only entered the dream for a few scenes before I released his desires and pursuits. If you hadn't awakened him, I'm afraid he would still be addicted to the dream!!"

"You should also feel that your thinking speed has accelerated since waking up, and your perception has also been enhanced. This is the benefit of the dream I weaved."

Allen's frown slowly relaxed, but with a clear mind, he always felt that there were other purposes hidden in the phantom words in front of him, and that things were not as simple as she said.

"I've already given you such a big gift. How about it? Would you like to have a more knowledgeable partner?"

The phantom flower demon looked at Allen eagerly, full of expectation.

"No, I refuse!"

Allen shook his head and answered simply.

Intuition from the heart told Allen that the flower demon in front of him was not trustworthy, and the other party did not impress his chips. His cautious character made Allen quickly judge that it was better to do less than to do more.

"Don't be like this. I actually know a lot of secrets that can help you, such as the layout planning of the 'Huansha' sect, which places are most suitable for building treasure houses, and where the inheritance hall used to be..."

"As long as you agree to take me out and promise not to abandon me casually, then I will tell you all these secrets!" Allen's reply made the flower demon a little shocked, especially the other party's actions with almost no thought, which shows his innermost feelings. Determined, she had to raise the stakes to seduce Allen.

Allen didn't say anything, he just stomped straight to the vast ruins and started his treasure hunting journey.

"Hey, boy..."

The flower demon was stunned for a moment, then quickly chased after him, chirping and persuading beside Allen.

This building complex, which Huan Huan described as the main hall of the Huansha Sect, is relatively well-preserved. Although it has experienced countless years of baptism, most of the buildings can still maintain their original appearance, and only a few civil structures have deteriorated. .

The marble building complex can vaguely feel the power of the 'Huansha' church in its heyday, and the vast area is clearly divided. The complex of buildings where Allen is now must have been the place where church combat members used to exercise daily. There are countless remains of equipment around the empty playground, as well as school grounds and martial arts gyms, and various rusty weapons. All neatly displayed on the weapons rack.

Allen searched carefully and found that most of the weapons on the weapon racks were no longer usable, and the rusted equipment basically had no protection. The phantom flower demon also closed her mouth at this time, and let Allen look through it randomly as if watching a good show. Obviously she knew that there would not be much gain in these places.

"There is indeed an equipment warehouse in this area. Although most of the equipment stored in it is damaged, there are still many magic equipment with good materials that can be used. Do you need me to tell you their locations?"

Seeing Allen finish his search and prepare to leave the training area, the flower demon finally spoke, with a seductive tone.

"As long as you agree to my previous request, I will point it out for you right away!"

Allen raised his head and glanced at the flower demon, then lowered his head and continued walking his own way, completely immune to temptation.

The quality of equipment that can be preserved over a long period of time, even if it is well kept, will be greatly reduced. In such an ordinary training area, the weapons arsenal will not contain too precious equipment, so it is attractive to Allen. It's not very powerful, especially if the illusion uses it as a bargaining chip, Allen won't even care.

"……Ha ha!!"

In the distance, the miser Figueras was much more diligent than Allen, and his hands and feet were free. He had no intention of caring about the ancient building complex, and there were endless sounds of smashing and collisions.

Soon, the search scope of the two people approached the core area. The closer to the core area, the more traces of searches there were. It seemed that the adventurers who had entered this ruins before had already searched here for more than 100 years. Once or twice.

"……snort!"

Figueras, who looked at Ariel and others from a distance, let out a disdainful snort as a cloud of black smoke came out of his nose.

"Alan, you are here too, what have you learned?"

Ariel and Zolf seemed very friendly and took the initiative to say hello to Allen. They encountered more than a dozen monsters of varying strengths along the way, and each gained something. Although they had not harvested anything in the ruins complex, this The materials for more than a dozen monsters were not in vain.

Of course, no one will be satisfied with these unexpected surprises. More precious wealth is hidden in this ruins. This is our ultimate goal.

"Probably not as many as you."

Allen and Figueras were led by the illusion, so they did not have to worry about being entangled by the monsters. They arrived here first, but they also lost some of the loot.

"Hey, that's not me. I just found several good things there!!"

Figueras will not keep a low profile like Allen and show off his gains.

The five of them seemed to be very peaceful, but in fact, there were evil intentions hidden in each other's eyes. If something really big was to be discovered next, everyone would probably get into trouble for the sake of profit.

"What do you say about this ruins?"

However, the strength gap between the two sides is not big. If they really want to fall out, there seems to be no result except a waste of time and energy. They were all calm and mature guys. They looked at the church in front of each other in tacit understanding, and Zolf said tentatively.

"Everyone can find his own way, it all depends on his own luck."

Allen said calmly.

The other people nodded, reaching a consensus, and then acted quickly, but Allen and Figueras fell behind.

"Let's act together."

The three of them disappeared at the door of the church, and Allen turned to talk to Figueras, who was eager to try.

At the same time, when Ariel and the others appeared, the phantom flower demon who had disappeared also appeared at the same time, looking at Allen leisurely: "Do you need me to remind you, where is the most hidden secret room of the Holy See of Phantom Veil? Then There used to be a semi-artifact inside, as well as several pieces of legendary equipment."

"OK!!"

Figueras's face suddenly became overjoyed, and his eyes gleamed with desire.

But it was obvious that the Phantom Flower Demon didn't care about Figueras, and kept looking at Allen, waiting for his answer.

"I think it's better for us to try our luck first!"

Allen's eyes were dull, still not impressed.

"Ellen..."

Before the flower demon could speak, Figueras in bugbear form was anxious first. When he was about to persuade Allen, he was stopped by Allen's eyes.

In fact, Allen was also moved. After all, this was news about a semi-artifact. So far, Allen himself had never touched any semi-artifact with his own hands. However, the more tempting the other party is, the more Alan feels that her intentions are deeper, and the more wary he becomes about her.

Of course, with Allen's confidence in his own strength, he believed that even if the other party was really plotting against him, he should have no problem protecting himself. Deep down in her heart, Allen hopes to know more from this flower demon to see how much chips she still has.

And his real goal is not just the so-called semi-artifacts and other foreign objects, he also hopes to obtain the method and inheritance to break through the demigods.
