After locking the Demon Horned Rhinoceros's left leg with his magic, Lin Ran directly unleashed his Divine Might.
Did my spatial rift cutting effect really not break your defense?
But what Lin Ran didn't expect was that, influenced by some mysterious power, his Divine Might miraculously missed.
Instead of hitting the Demon Horned Rhinoceros's front hoof as planned, the Divine Might struck the nearby trees.
Affected by the Divine Might, the trees were instantly pulverized.
And the area affected by the Divine Might recovered much faster.
Wrong! This is very wrong!
Ever since arriving near the entrance of the second layer of the Black Dragon Abyss, Lin Ran had a strange feeling.
It was as if the space here was separated from other areas, feeling completely out of place.
Could it be that I fell into someone's trap?
And it felt very much like a special illusion...
Magic Illusion · Mirror World Rotation!
Sensing this, Lin Ran quickly activated this ocular technique used to break and reflect illusions.
Crack!
The false world that had enveloped Lin Ran shattered like a mirror, instantly revealing a group of humanoid creatures with dark blue-black skin.
They were clutching their heads in pain, writhing on the ground and screaming incessantly.
As for the trees, land, and the Demon Horned Rhinoceros from before, they were all products of the illusion.
Dark Elves?
Seeing the faces of these foreign beings, Lin Ran was startled.
The Black Dragon Abyss was known to be a relatively pure forbidden zone filled with fierce beasts. Since there were no spatial rifts connecting to other realms, foreign races had only two ways to enter.
One was to follow the same path as Lin Ran and his companions, walking in boldly from the armed fortress. This was clearly impossible.
The second was to summon a small spatial rift within the Black Dragon Abyss and secretly send in a portion of their kin.
The Dark Elves who had appeared before him had clearly entered through this method.
So, what was their purpose for coming here?
However, Dark Elves were indeed fond of such secretive maneuvers and were skilled in using these deceitful tactics. Illusions and illusion arrays were their specialties.
It was a pity, though, to have encountered the ancestor of illusions himself.
When it came to illusions, who dared to challenge the Eternal Mangekyo?
Lin Ran sneered as he looked at the incapacitated Dark Elves.
Tsukuyomi!
Seizing the opportunity to reflect the scenario-based illusion back at them, Lin Ran directly activated Tsukuyomi, completely taking control of the small illusion array.
Thus, these dozens of Dark Elves were horrified to find that in the illusionary world they were in, a group of dirty and terrifying orcs had appeared.
Elves and orcs had always been at odds. Surrounded by burly and menacing orcs, they could only tremble in fear.
"Elves! State your purpose, and we'll spare your lives!"
"Otherwise, we'll show no mercy and will tear you all apart to eat!"
"Gahahaha!"
The orcs erupted in coarse laughter.
The Dark Elves had never seen such a situation before. Being inherently cowardly and fearing death, they could only beg for mercy:
"I'll tell you! I'll tell you!"
"Our young leader, Kaidan, sent us!"
"He instructed us to set up an illusion array here, to ambush human awakened ones, and to use the horn to orchestrate a beast tide!"
"Considering we share a common enemy in humans, spare us a way out!"
Lin Ran was stunned by their words.
Good heavens!
Ambushing human awakened ones and orchestrating a beast tide!
These Dark Elves were truly audacious!
In that case, they absolutely could not be spared...
The illusion array, now controlled by Tsukuyomi, inherited Tsukuyomi's ability to materialize illusionary damage into reality.
Under Lin Ran's mental command, the orcs present quickly slew all the Dark Elves.
Looking at the Dark Elves lying in pools of blood after returning to the real world.
Lin Ran waved his hand, activating the Room domain of the Op Op Fruit, and collected their equipment into his Soul Ring.
However, the equipment carried by foreign races was not the magical energy equipment from which humans could gain power. They had their own power systems, which humans could not use. But by melting down their equipment, new magical energy equipment could be forged. Therefore, collecting these materials was quite valuable.
Glancing at his military merit points, which had now reached 17.3, Lin Ran opened the map and sprinted towards the armed fortress.
He had to deliver this news to the armed fortress as quickly as possible. Otherwise, if the beast tide orchestrated by the Dark Elves had already begun, the armed fortress would immediately become a target. With the current defense strength of the fortress alone, it might not be enough. Reinforcements from external garrisons had to be requested as soon as possible!
...
Is this the armed fortress of the Black Dragon Abyss? It's truly magnificent!
Luo Qingyan surveyed everything within the armed fortress with curiosity, stopping frequently to observe. Her arrival also attracted the attention of a significant portion of the people in the armed fortress. A beauty of this caliber naturally became the center of attention wherever she went.
Luo Qingyan was dressed very competently for this outing. Other than a white combat suit, there was nothing else. This tight-fitting combat suit perfectly outlined Luo Qingyan's graceful curves. Immediately, a group of people who intended to strike up a conversation swarmed towards her. However, Luo Qingyan, with no interest in such matters, quickly smiled and waved her light sword, driving them all away.
"Damn! This young lady has a powerful aura!"
"Judging by her age, she should be a student from Yan University."
"Yes, judging by the blazing holy light sword in her hand, her cultivation is definitely not ordinary."
"Indeed, and her talent is top-tier..."
"I really wonder if she has a fixed team or is looking for teammates."
"Looking for teammates? You're dreaming... she's already using a light sword to drive people away, she's definitely in a fixed team."
After wandering around the armed fortress for a while, Luo Qingyan had a good understanding of its functions and layout. As she etched the teleportation point of the emergency scroll given to her by Lin Miao, she headed towards the entrance.
How would I be able to find Lin Ran...
Perhaps I should send him a message using his bio-chip? But then it wouldn't be romantic at all.
Luo Qingyan really wanted to have a chance encounter with Lin Ran in the Black Dragon Abyss. Preferably, Lin Ran would be trapped by a horde of beasts and she, with her wings spread, would save him with her light sword. That would be truly delightful to even imagine. It would give her bragging rights to tease Lin Ran about later.
Just as Luo Qingyan slowly walked to the entrance and was about to step inside, she suddenly noticed an incredibly familiar figure.
Luo Qingyan's pupils instantly constricted.
Isn't that?!
