Lin Yuerou’s words caused that old man’s complexion to change slightly. The girl was truly someone with outstanding intelligence. At that moment, he could only laugh in the sky above.
But the more he laughed with nervousness, the more certain Lin Yuerou became that her analysis was correct.
Thereupon, she had the supreme transcending level experts dig into the sand, which she was certain would lead them to the source of water!
The supreme transcending level experts were originally completely spent, but after hearing that there was a source of water there, they began to dig madly because of survival instinct.
A source of water was extremely precious in a desert. If they could truly dig one out, they could survive in the desert for a long time and wouldn’t have to be afraid of going anywhere.
As they dug, sure enough a clear spring sprouted out. Seeing this, everyone began to crazily collect water like a famished beast who had seen food after a long time.
In the meantime, Lin Yuerou said to the old man with extreme calmness, “We should be considered to have cleared this mythical realm?”
The old man began to laugh heartily. “You truly didn’t disappoint me! Girl, you are truly an interesting person, but I wonder whether you can clear the next three layers or not. In this mythical realm, each layer is more difficult than the last one. Girl, are you certain that you wish to continue?”
If we don’t choose to continue going forward, what other choice do we have?
Lin Yuerou had to pass through all the layers of the mythical realm and rush back into Lucky Wind City. If she was lucky, she might still make it in time.
The mythical realm’s scenery changed again. The group then found themselves in the third layer, and the unknown danger there alarmed Lin Yuerou and turned her somewhat indecisive.
She took a deep breath and carefully observed the surrounding environment. It wasn’t nasty like before nor covered in darkness like in the first layer.
The scenery in this layer was quite ordinary. In fact, it was quite similar to the first realm after it was illuminated. This caused a hint of cold sweat to appear on Lin Yuerou’s forehead.
Wasn’t the Illusion God just switching between scenes in his mythical realm because of lack of skill? This was akin to deceiving the people who challenged the mythical realm!
She didn’t feel like mocking the Illusion God over the flaws in his design, however. After some consideration, she realized that it could be used as a component in breaking through the mythical realm.
In the first layer, she only needed to illuminate the world, and the problems raised by Gluttonies were easily solved. While in the second layer, they only needed to find a source of water to clear it. Then in the third realm, what weakness would she need to discover?
The supreme transcending experts didn’t discover any peculiar regions in this realm. This relaxed all of them, and they casually report, “There doesn’t seem to be any oddity in this layer.”
Lin Yuerou shook her head. In her eyes, it was impossible for the Illusion God to prepare a layer with lower difficulty factor than the ones before.
The last two layers had almost forced them into dire straits, so it was impossible that he would change his style in the third layer.
Whoosh. Whoosh. Whoosh.
One after another, cold arrows were shot at them. The supreme transcending level experts were somewhat shocked. There was surprisingly an enemy in this empty space?
Being elites, the supreme transcending level experts immediately entered battle mode.
They were trained to remain vigilant, and their instincts toward danger wouldn’t easily fade away.
“Protect the city lord!”
The supreme transcending level experts immediately surrounded Lin Yuerou. Could it be that there was an undetected enemy at this juncture? Lin Yuerou was making a hypothesis while cold sweat continuously poured down the backs of the supreme transcending level experts.
If they couldn’t detect the enemy, they wouldn’t be able to target them. Then wouldn’t the enemy just exhaust the defenders’ strength until they lost all energy and could easily be killed?
“City lord, what should we do now? I cannot find the enemy!”
“Couldn’t you see the direction from which the arrows came?”
“City lord, I have already investigated it and couldn’t see the silhouette of any enemy!”
Lin Yuerou narrowed her eyes. Undetectable enemy… Could it be a group of invisible people? That was impossible. If it was truly invisible people, then this mythical realm’s design would be quite a cheat.
Facing this layer, which was basically impossible to clear, Lin Yuerou complained to the Illusion God!
“Senior, if you use despicable means like invisible enemy, then we will immediately admit defeat. Regardless of what you say, it is impossible for us to fight an invisible enemy!”
The old man began to laugh loudly. “Naturally there are no invisible enemies!”
After confirming with the old man, Lin Yuerou had a guess. If it wasn’t an invisible enemy, then the only remaining possibility was attacking using the space itself!
In this space, there had to be some method to attack which they couldn’t easily perceive.
Lin Yuerou lifted her head and looked at the sky. She saw some concentric circles there, which seemed to be somewhat peculiar.
Even if they were attacked from the concentric circles, it shouldn’t have been long range targeted attacks. The arrows should have simply fallen upon them because of gravity.
After eliminating this option, the only other possibility was that the enemy was attacking them from level ground. But they couldn’t see anything in front of them except rows of trees!
Lin Yuerou knitted her brows. After a look at the trees, her eyes began to shine. Don’t tell me that those arrows were shot from the direction of those trees? Then those trees were the only method to attack in the mythical realm.
The supreme transcending level experts were finding it increasingly more difficult to resist, so Lin Yuerou quickly gave them a command.
“Go find the tracks of the attackers in those woods! It should be the direction from which the cold arrows were shot. There will certainly be some mechanism for attacking there!”
However, when they rushed into the woods, they couldn’t discover any hidden mechanism. They also couldn’t find any enemy.
What method exactly are the enemies using to attack?
What made Lin Yuerou feel even more hopeless was that when they arrived at the woods, the attacks stopped coming from there and changed to the distant mountains while growing increasing greater in volume.
The supreme transcending level experts’ complexion turned more and more unsightly. They had fallen into the trap of the undetected enemy, so how could they possibly clear the third layer? This was clearly quite embarrassing for them!
But Lin Yuerou didn’t even think of giving up. She had to find some method to rush out of the mythical realm. Her forehead was constantly filled with cold sweat as she thought about how exactly they were being attacked.
One of the supreme transcending level experts was hit by an arrow, which shocked the other supreme transcending level experts.
Lin Yuerou’s complexion suddenly changed. What exactly should they do? The third layer was somewhat difficult!
The Illusion God placed a chess piece and burst out laughing. “Little girl, you are very intelligent. But this third layer of the mythical realm is completely impossible for you to clear. Just chose to stay in this mythical realm and play with this old man.”
But his words didn’t reach Lin Yuerou’s ears. It was impossible for her to give up. Since she could clear two layers of the mythical realm, how could she give up on the third one?
