Chapter 296 Challenging the Illusion
"The Palace of Earth Ruins..."
"So you mean the Heavenly Ruins Palace is waiting for us, right?"
"Um...seriously...why are you all staring at me?"
Upon hearing that voice that seemed to echo through the ages, Qiao Jinfeng couldn't help but mutter something.
Then he saw everyone turn to look at him.
"Hey, maybe it really is as you say," Lin Que couldn't help but tease. "I hope you're not just a jinx, Lao Qiao."
After saying that, Lin Que turned his head and scanned the entire hall.
They discovered that this place was much larger than the previous Human Ruins Hall, and something strange was that there was nothing in the hall except for emptiness and silence.
"What the hell? Everything is clearly... Holy crap!"
"It looks like something is popping out!"
Just as Feng Wudao was about to complain, a loud "rumbling" sound suddenly came from the center of the hall!
Suddenly, a platform carved with array patterns rose up in the very center.
After the noise subsided, everyone became cautious, fearing that something might go wrong.
"There's nothing else for now, let's go take a look."
After Lin Que finished speaking, everyone nodded to each other and walked towards the platform in the center of the main hall.
When everyone arrived at the platform, they discovered that there were grooves on the platform.
"This is..."
Everyone's gaze sharpened, and they all took out their respective Yin Ruins tokens and gestured towards the groove.
The size is just right!
"What if something unexpected happens?" Chen Jiuge asked Lin Que.
The others were the same; they all regarded Lin Que as their pillar of support and awaited his answer.
Lin Que did not answer, but instead frowned and stared at the array patterns on the platform.
"Have you discovered something?" Su Yuyan asked, seeing Lin Que's expression.
"Wait for me a moment..." Lin Que replied, then continued to carefully examine the array patterns.
Seeing that Lin Que said this, the others stopped disturbing him and waited patiently.
They knew that Lin Que wouldn't be so bored; he must have made some discovery.
"This is..."
Lin Que stared at the array patterns, finding them increasingly familiar, and his mind was constantly trying to recall something.
After a long while...
"I understand!"
As soon as Lin Que spoke, everyone perked up.
"What have you figured out? Have you found a way to break into the palace?"
Everyone assumed that, like the previous Human Ruins Palace, they would have to successfully enter the palace before they could proceed to the next level.
And that is indeed the case!
Lin Que nodded to everyone and said, "This is actually an illusionary challenge altar, and it has thirteen grooves on it. You all probably understand the function of those grooves, right?"
"As long as we place the tokens there, we will each enter the illusion."
"But what exactly is inside the illusion, I have no idea."
"An illusion?" Zhang Mengde shrank back. "Not again, is it? Could it be another time we're transported to a real world?"
It's clear that Zhang Mengde is scared; he's probably thinking about where to find a cook to work as.
Upon hearing this, Lin Que smiled and said, "Don't worry!"
"This time it's a real illusion!"
"But we'll only know the specific method to get through the illusion once we're inside."
"correct!"
Suddenly, Lin Que's eyes lit up as he looked at the thirteen grooves on the altar platform!
It seemed like he had thought of something.
He scanned the room and counted the number of people, including Feng Jiuyou; there were exactly thirteen!
Immediately afterwards, Lin Que opened the void gate and let Li Muxue come out for a moment.
This scene left everyone completely bewildered.
Even Li Muxue, who had just emerged from the small world, asked in confusion, "Junior brother, why did you ask me to come out?"
Lin Que didn't speak, but stared at the unchanged altar platform for a moment before laughing!
"Alright, senior sister."
"It's all over now, you can go back."
Hearing Lin Que say this, Li Muxue was stunned for a moment, but given her aloof personality, she didn't ask any more questions and turned around to go back.
"Fuck!"
"This is blatant cheating!"
"If I had known, I would have stayed in your little world too!"
Suddenly, Feng Jiuyou, who was standing on Lin Que's shoulder, shouted.
At this moment, everyone understood Lin Que's intention.
There was an extra person, but the groove on the altar platform remained unchanged, which meant that Li Muxue and the others could win without entering the illusion.
"I'm just testing the ideas in my head," Lin Que said with a smile. "Perhaps those who venture into the illusionary realm can obtain some fortuitous rewards?"
"It's a mixed bag, I guess."
Of course, this is definitely good for Zhang Mengde!
But now, he clearly has no other choice.
“It seems we have no other choice. In that case, let’s begin.” Chen Jiuge smiled and stepped forward, placing his Yin Ruins token on the token first.
Immediately afterwards, a golden light emerged from the altar platform and enveloped him.
Seeing this, Feng Wudao did not hesitate at all and followed Chen Jiuge's example by placing his own token on the spot.
Then it was also enveloped in a golden light.
After that, everyone placed their tokens one after another, following the same pattern.
"Be careful..." When it came to Su Yuyan, Lin Que nodded to her.
Upon hearing this, Su Yuyan smiled broadly!
"The same to you..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Su Yuyan entered the illusion.
But when it came to Zhang Mengde, this guy refused to put down the token no matter what, and shook his head desperately!
Seeing this, Lin Que grabbed his hand holding the token and pressed it down!
In an instant, Zhang Mengde, whose face was filled with terror, was enveloped by a beam of golden light.
"Hoo~!"
"Finally done!"
Seeing that everyone had entered the illusion, Lin Que did not hesitate and placed his token on it.
"Shh!"
Enveloped in golden light, Lin Que immediately lost consciousness...
When Lin Que opened his eyes again, he found himself in a huge square, with nothing around him except himself.
"Like a gladiatorial arena?"
Lin Que frowned as he looked around at everything.
"Roar!!!"
suddenly!
A beastly roar echoed throughout the entire square!
Immediately afterwards, a plume of black smoke appeared in front of Lin Que.
As the black smoke gradually dissipated, a third-tier Netherworld Wolf appeared!
The wolf was staring at Lin Que with its bloodthirsty eyes, ready to attack at any moment!
Seeing this, Lin Que simply took out "Memory Moon" and casually swung his sword!
"Shh!"
As the sword energy swept past, the Netherworld Wolf was instantly cleaved in two by "Remembering the Moon".
"boom!"
A loud bang!
The Netherworld Wolf disappeared quickly after it fell to the ground.
But the next moment!
The black smoke reappeared, and this time a fourth-tier, five-colored spirit python emerged.
A pair of vertical pupils gleamed with a chilling light, and stared at Lin Que with a scarlet forked tongue.
"interesting!"
"It seems to be a challenging illusion."
"Let's give it a try and see how long I can last..."
Lin Que held the "Memory Moon" and looked at the five-colored spirit python, a smile appearing on his lips!
