Chapter 299 The Emperor’s Ability(1/2)
The three of Mu You walked on the streets of the city.
The layout of this city is very orderly. It is divided into countless areas with square main roads. Each area has many square streets branching out criss-cross. If you look at it from above, the layout of all streets and buildings
, they are all regular squares, symmetrical from front to back, left and right, no matter how you look at them, they look like works designed by a geometer with obsessive-compulsive disorder.
In addition, the most eye-catching thing in the city is the humanoid sculptures scattered among the buildings.
These sculptures are not statues of gods or heroes, but of ordinary residents who once lived in this city, wearing simple or luxurious clothes, doing various jobs, and full of fireworks.<
/p>
The only thing in common is that next to all the statues, there is a statue of a flying mount.
This is not difficult to understand. After all, this is a city in the sky. It floats in the sky all year round. The residents living here must have a flying mount.
"Boss, which way are we going?" After resting for a while, Xiaoya's seasickness symptoms improved a lot. At this moment, she looked around curiously and asked Muyou.
"According to the direction on the map, we have to go straight to the west now... But this is a mirror world, so let's go to the east first..." Mu You thought for a while and said.
This place is said to be hidden in the 'reflection' of the Star Spirit World. Since the map of Dawn City is in the normal direction compared to the Evil Spirit Sea in the Star Spirit World, then after coming to this upside-down world, the order of the map should also be reversed.
.
The three of them headed straight towards the main road heading east.
But after walking for a while, the three of them realized something was wrong. Website.
"Have you been to this place before?" Xiaoya looked at the familiar environment around her and spoke with some uncertainty.
The buildings in this place seemed to be carved out of the same mold, giving it a sense of déjà vu, so Xiaoya was not sure whether the overly similar scene in front of her was the location she just passed by.
"I have been here before, and the layout of the building in front has changed." Lin Xue confirmed Xiaoya's guess and made some additions.
"It seems that the buildings here are changing all the time... No wonder we need a map..."
Mu You sighed. He had also discovered that the terrain here was like a moving maze. Each plot was constantly changing, so if you walked in one direction, you would just keep spinning in a certain range.
, and can never get out.
This is also the meaning of the map: you must move in the designated order of the buildings marked on the map in order to get out of this maze.
And if there is no map, you need to try one road after another until you figure out the movement pattern of the land. If you are less lucky, it will take more than ten times the time to pass?
Of course, what is more troublesome than the map is the no-fly zone above our heads.
Mu You has already tried it. The flying spell cannot be used here, and flying creatures such as war eagles will be instantly killed by a strange energy as long as they are summoned.
This locked up their possibility of observing the terrain from high altitude.
"Don't leave, just wait here." Mu You shook his head and decisively gave up the idea of continuing on his way.
Instead of wandering around like a headless fly, it is better to wait here for the emperor's people to appear, and then follow them to move through faster.
The two of them had no objection, and the three of them found a hidden location near the entrance lake and hid.
About ten minutes later, in the lake ahead, the water surged, and more than a dozen boats of various types surfaced one after another.
The appearance of these ships is in dilapidated condition, and they rely entirely on magic to maintain their structure, otherwise they would fall apart in minutes.
Soon, a large number of people came ashore from the boats and gathered on the shore.
"There are so many people..." Mu You was secretly speechless.
At this moment, there are at least six to seven hundred people on the shore, and judging from their movement patterns, at least two-thirds of them are entities who came in personally through the door.
Mu You is not surprised by this.
According to the analysis data of a previous survey post on the forum, the existing 'doors' on the earth are basically evenly distributed geographically. Within every 10 million square kilometers, there are about 50 doors.
According to this rule, the total number of "doors" on the earth should be about 2,500. However, since many doors appear in the ocean and have not been discovered yet, the number of doors that have actually been mastered by humans is about 1,000.
Left and right.
However, major forces around the world have announced to the public that the total number of 'doors' confirmed to exist is only over three hundred.
In other words, there are still quite a few sects that have not been announced. A few of them are in private hands like Mu You, but most of them are sects that are used as trump cards by major forces and are kept secret.<
/p>
For example, the Dragon Group claims to have only two doors on the surface, but the actual number is definitely far more than this. Moreover, in an emergency, it can also 'borrow' doors from allied forces. Mu You believes that if the country really needs it, it can lend two doors at any time.
It is not difficult to open a door with several digits.
This is also the reason why Mu You had revealed to the Blood Emperor that he had a door before, but the Dragon Group and the Abnormality Bureau did not ask any questions after that. On the one hand, it was because of the binding mechanism of the door, which basically locked the identity of the person entering the door.
;On the other hand, doors are really not a scarce resource for the real top forces.
Therefore, Mu You is not surprised at all that a force like the Divine Right of Kings, one of the top ten forces in the world, can mobilize more than five doors.
Getting back to the topic, they watched hundreds of people on the shore begin to move toward the city. The three of them hurriedly and quietly followed behind.
There is also a very troublesome problem in this city, which is that it will exclude non-fools, resulting in the remains of Vivian and Lin Xue’s grandma being unable to be used here. Otherwise, just pull up two legendary-level shell-driving shells, and the human sea tactics on the opposite side are pure.
Belongs to floating clouds.
Now, all I can do is stay cowardly and grow up.
Ahead of us, a group of people were speeding through the city, along a winding road, and the direction of travel was quite clear. This is the benefit of having a map.
Mu You and the others did not dare to get too close, and hung far behind.
Fortunately, Mu You used the Kaitou skin to lock the fragment on the emperor's body before. Now he can sense the location of the fragment at any time and will not lose it because the distance is too far.
But just after following two streets, Mu You suddenly felt that the position of the fragment changed, and it turned in a new direction at an extremely fast speed.
Mu You hurriedly caught up and took a look. The huge crowd in front was still moving forward normally, but the fragment was taken in the completely opposite direction by someone unknown.
"The other side divided their forces. They probably realized that we were following us and moved the fragments away..." Mu Youyou.
"Oh?" Lin Xue also quickly understood what the other party meant: This was forcing them to make a choice, chasing the fragments or continuing to follow the large army. There was only one way to choose.
"Which way should I chase?" Lin Xue asked.
"Fragments!" Mu You made the decision without much hesitation.
Of course he knew that the purpose of the person who took away the fragments was to lure him away. He would definitely not follow the map honestly and would probably take a side road.
But no matter what, the fragments themselves are genuine. He has already snatched nine of the fragments. The opponent only has one, three, and six fragments left. No matter which one he grabs, he can use it.
As Mu You and the other three walked away, the area near the entrance fell into complete silence.
But what neither party noticed was that shortly after everyone left, an octopus foot several hundred meters long quietly surfaced in the lake at the entrance.
After struggling in the water for a few seconds, countless suckers squirmed on the surface of the octopus's feet and swam toward the shore.
After it completely climbed ashore, a gap opened in the middle of the octopus's foot, and an eye grew out of it. It swayed from side to side and looked at the surrounding environment.
After scanning for several minutes, the octopus legs suddenly coiled up on the spot like a snake, squeezed inward crazily, and squeezed into a ball of flesh. Finally, they suddenly exploded and turned into countless small palm-sized octopuses.
The densely packed octopuses were like maggots, piled up on the streets to form hills, and then quickly dispersed in all directions, climbing toward the streets in the city...
Mu You didn't know what happened at the entrance. At this moment, he was chasing the fragment with all his strength, because the expiration time of the appointment letter was coming soon. He had to catch up with the other party as soon as possible to grab the fragment. Otherwise, he would have to give a new appointment letter.
,Keep locked.
After chasing for more than 20 minutes, Mu You finally caught up with the figure in front of him.
However, the scene that caught his eye made him a little surprised.
The only person carrying the fragments was a young man with blond hair and blue eyes. He was not followed by any teammates, and the ID above his head was also very clear: Emperor.
At this moment, the other party may have felt that they had taken them far enough away, so they did not continue to run away, and stopped beside a stone sculpture, waiting for them to approach.
Mu You walked closer and checked it with the omniscient crystal.
[The favored son of heaven, level 20 (evolved): strength 45, agility 65, intelligence 68, constitution 51, health value, magic value 8800, current skin: Word Spirit Divine Envoy.]
Judging from this attribute, it should indeed be the emperor's true body, not some clone.
"I have to say, you are quite brave. You actually dared to lure us here single-handedly." Mu You walked slowly past, and Lin Xue walked to the other side with a sickle in hand.
As for Xiaoya, her own combat power is far behind, but she still holds a fragment in her hand to prevent her from being suppressed by others, and she summons a large number of summoned creatures for protection immediately.
The three of them gradually formed a siege, blocking each other's retreat.
"Because I need to confirm the strength of several people with my own eyes. Bringing others here will interfere with my judgment." The emperor turned a blind eye to the actions of the three people and spoke without changing his expression, stating his purpose quite honestly.
p>
"Oh? Then you're not afraid of being outed and being completely left here by the two of us Legends?" Mu Youyou.
"I still have some confidence in saving my life."
The emperor didn't say much, but he showed strong confidence in his words: "In addition, I actually don't think that your current Excellency has reached the legendary level."
"Then you guessed wrong, I am really a legend!" Mu Youyou.
The emperor didn't mean to argue. He took out a map fragment from his body and showed it to Mu You: "The fragment is here. If you have the ability, come and take it away."
Mu You rushed forward and launched an attack.
The opponent made it clear that they wanted to test his strength and were waiting for him to take action, but the fragments were already in front of him, so it was impossible not to grab them, so it was better to fight quickly.
Muyou's magic wand moved together, and he fired out several wind blades from the beginning.
To be continued...
