Dangerous Level 7 Illusion Realm
In Flying Dragon City, Li Wei received a warm welcome from Seventy-Two, who readily agreed to Li Wei's invitation to enter the Level 7 Illusion Realm together.
So early the next morning, Li Wei took control of the Destroyer's City and began the teleportation to the Illusion Realm.
... The Level 7 Illusion Realm is vast and filled with countless rare treasures. Any strong individual with a combat power of B-rank will come here to try their luck. Once, an adventurer who had just advanced to B1-rank found a fruit growing at the root of a giant tree on the edge of the Level 7 Illusion Realm. After consuming it with the determination to die, his combat power was forcibly increased by one level, reaching B2.
This news swept through the real world like a storm. At that time, the Land of the Illusion Realm had just been discovered, and thus, an era of treasure hunting in the Land of the Illusion Realm began.
People were astonished to discover that many precious materials and resources that were nowhere to be found in the real world were also abundant in the Illusion Realm. Among them, the most numerous were the resources needed to upgrade the main city.
Where there is demand, there is a market; therefore, the Illusion Realm is never short of adventurers. Moreover, several major city lords have established camps in relatively safe areas on the edge of the Level 7 Illusion Realm.
At that moment, Li Wei, led by Seventy-Two, arrived at the camp.
The Destroyer's City has been incorporated into the control crystal. According to Seventy-Two, this place is different from the lower-level environment. Further in, there will be extremely powerful monsters, and even a massive castle like the Destroyer's City will be attacked.
Looking at the adventurers coming and going in the camp, Li Wei really didn't feel that this was Illusion Realm.
"Shocking, isn't it? I had the same thought when I first came here. This Level 7 Illusion Realm is different from other Illusion Realm. Here, there are 'safe zones.' The small canyon we're in is a safe zone where we won't be attacked by monsters. But once we leave this canyon, even an A-level expert has to be careful at all times. And the area outside the canyon is just the edge of the Level 7 Illusion Realm!" Since arriving at the Level 7 Illusion Realm, Seventy-Two's expression has been solemn. After all, last time, he almost died here.
At this moment, several adventurers emerged from the camp and walked towards Li Wei and his group.
"Gentlemen, I see there are only six of you. Why don't you act together? That way, we can leave the safe zone safely. What do you think?" A woman dressed in black armor said to Li Wei.
As an adventurer, her greatest skills, besides combat, were her ability to read people. The six people in front of her all seemed to follow the lead of this young man.
Li Wei was confused and was about to refuse when he saw Seventy-Two winking at him, seemingly wanting him to agree.
Seventy-Two was quite composed; he wouldn't have done this without a reason. So Li Wei nodded to the woman in black armor.
"Alright, we've already united five adventure teams, with over 30 people in total. We should be able to easily break out of the canyon. Here's the plan: meet at the camp entrance in 10 minutes. Don't be late!" Seeing Li Wei agree, the woman in black armor didn't seem particularly surprised, but rather took it for granted. After speaking, she hurriedly left.
"Seventy-Two, what's going on?" Li Wei asked, puzzled.
"It's because this is a safe zone. Although those monsters can't enter this canyon for some reason, they can wait outside. It's like waiting for a rabbit to run into a tree stump. The difference is that the adventurers inside the canyon know the dangers outside, but they will still risk rushing out. So, this practice of gathering everyone together has continued. After all, compared to acting alone, the chances of being attacked by monsters when rushing out of the canyon together are much smaller, and more people can rush out!" After the Seventy-Two Generals explained the reason, Li Wei immediately understood what was going on.
"Are the monsters outside the canyon very strong?" Xue Yan asked a question that she was particularly interested in.
"Yes, they're very strong. Even the weakest monster has B1-level combat power, and there are many of them. So once we rush out, we'll immediately move away from the canyon entrance. Those monsters are also very smart; even if they chase us, they won't go more than a kilometer away!" Seventy-Two said confidently.
Li Wei glanced at the solemn-faced adventurers around him; they must also know what they were about to face.
Although Seventy-Two didn't say it explicitly, it was easy to guess that the breakout wouldn't be without losses; otherwise, the woman in black armor wouldn't have joined forces with so many adventurers.
This is similar to a situation where a large group of lions and tigers are guarding the area, while a group of rabbits try to break through. Although most of the rabbits will eventually succeed in escaping, there will inevitably be a few unlucky ones who become the lions' and tigers' prey.
This is reality!
Ten minutes passed quickly, and just as the woman in black armor had said, more than thirty people had gathered at the camp entrance. Under the Eye of Perception, most of these people were ability users who had consumed magic crystals.
Since Shadow Street reopened, very few reincarnators have entered the Illusion Realm. Compared to the Illusion Realm, Shadow Street is much safer; at least, there is absolutely no danger within Shadow Street.
"Is everyone ready?" the woman in black armor asked loudly, holding a matching black helmet in her hands.
The adventurers were all prepared, knowing that they would soon be met with a large number of bloodthirsty monsters. Who would successfully break through and who would become the unlucky ones remained to be seen.
Seeing that no one spoke, the woman in black armor nodded, put on her helmet, and then took out a stone carved with the shape of a Colossus. She muttered incantations, clearly reciting some kind of spell.
Soon, with a loud 'bang,' a cloud of smoke erupted, and beneath the black-armored woman appeared a giant elephant over two meters tall; clearly, this elephant was her mount.
"Those with mounts, summon them! It'll be a race of speed from here on out!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the reincarnators each summoned their mounts.
These mounts were all obtained from the Illusion Realm. There were velociraptors and giant wolves that Li Wei had seen before, as well as birds and beasts similar to ostriches, and even flying Griffin. But the most extravagant of all were the mounts summoned by Seventy-Two.
It was a gigantic flying dragon.
Li Wei had seen this dragon before at the gate of Knight City. It was because of this dragon that the Seventy-Two main cities were called 'Flying Dragon City'.
Xue Yan also had her own flying mount, which was something Li Wei was seeing for the first time. The little girl took out a mount seal (a stone engraved with mount runes), chanted a spell, and then with a bang, the white mist dissipated, revealing a very peculiar creature in Li Wei's eyes.
"Purple Void Ray, a flying mount—this is an incredibly fast mount!"
The mere appearance of this Void Ray made even the Seventy-Two flying dragons pale in comparison.
Green Conch possesses a celestial body and can walk on air. Li Wei also has a flight card and the skill of flying on a sword. The remaining two are Zhang Sanfeng and Dongfang Bubai.
However, Li Wei also had a solution. The greatsword 'Beast Soul' was enormous, and it could carry two or three people while flying, so it shouldn't be a problem.
Once everyone was ready, the woman in black patted the elephant's head and said loudly, "Alright, let's set off! Good luck, everyone!"
After saying that, he led the way and rushed out, followed closely by a large group of adventurers. They rushed out of the camp and soon reached the entrance to the canyon.
Even though they were still quite far apart, the group of monsters at the mouth of the canyon had already come into view.
"Be careful, this time even the Hydra and the Red Dragon have appeared!" the black-armored woman said with a hint of fear in her voice.
Li Wei looked and, sure enough, among the large group of monsters, a monster with the body of a giant lizard and nine huge snake heads stood out. In the air, there were also several huge crimson Fire Dragon circling around, spewing flames from time to time.
Every adventurer's heart sank to the bottom in an instant.
These two monsters are incredibly powerful, especially since they cover both the ground and the air. Trying to break through them would likely come at a heavy price.
Many adventurers were already feeling apprehensive, and some of the adventurers at the back even began to slow down. Soon, the breakout formation that had been tightly packed together fell into disarray.
"Not good!" The black-armored woman's expression changed drastically. If their formation remained intact, most of them might be able to break through against these powerful monsters. But now, with their formation in complete disarray, they were likely to all die under the monsters' claws.
What to do?
At this moment, they had already left the safe zone and were less than ten meters away from the monster horde.
At that moment, a sword light suddenly appeared in front of them.
Three people were still standing on the sword. The woman in black armor recognized one of the boys on the sword; he was one of the adventurers.
"Who's that? Come back!" The woman in black armor shouted as soon as she recognized the figure. This was no joke; in this situation, showing off would undoubtedly be the most foolish thing to do.
The people on the swords were naturally Li Wei, Zhang Sanfeng, and Dongfang Bubai.
Upon seeing these delicious treats being offered to them, the Red Dragon in the air roared and pounced.
Looking at the few Red Dragon, Li Wei sneered, "My goal is to subdue the Angel Clan. It would be a joke if I were stopped by a few big-footed lizards like you!"
Li Wei swiftly summoned the Copper Pot, slammed it down, and hundreds of streams of light shot out from Copper Pot. At the same time, Li Wei formed hand seals, performed a sword incantation, and unleashed the skill he had just mastered: Ten Thousand Swords Art!
Long before venturing into the Level 7 Illusion Realm, Li Wei had prepared thousands of longswords and stored them in Copper Pot. To unleash the Mount Shu Ten Thousand Swords Art, a large number of longswords were needed as weapons; the more swords, the greater the power. Li Wei had made ample preparations for this journey into the Level 7 Illusion Realm.
Under the control of the sword technique, the hundreds of streams of light emitted sword cries and appeared around Li Wei, resembling a lotus flower formed by sword blades. In an instant, they burst forth with terrifying sword energy.
