Chapter 146 Misty Illusion
Chapter 146 Misty Illusion
As the mysterious figure gradually approached, everyone's nerves became more and more tense.
When the figure was completely exposed in the light, they could see that it was an old man with a stern face. His eyes were as deep as the abyss, revealing endless vicissitudes and mystery.
“You, a bunch of ignorant intruders, actually dare to try to get your hands on this precious fragment of time.” The old man’s voice was low and majestic, as if carrying the accumulated power of a thousand years.
Shen Mo took a step forward, cupped his hands and said, "Senior, we didn't mean to offend you. We went through so much hardship to find this fragment of time just to save justice and peace in the world."
The old man snorted coldly: "Justice? Peace? What can these empty words change? You know that the power contained in this fragment is definitely not something you can control."
Lin Yuwei hurriedly explained: "Senior, we are well aware of the dangers, but the world is now in a huge crisis. Only with the help of the power of time fragments can there be a glimmer of hope."
The old man was silent for a moment, and his eyes swept over everyone: "Even so, do you think you can control this power?"
Ye Lan held up his spear and said firmly: "How can we know if we don't try? We have never retreated along the way."
The old man was slightly moved, and a hint of imperceptible appreciation flashed in his eyes: "Okay, then I will give you a chance. But if you want to get the time fragment, you must pass my test."
"What test?" Alex asked impatiently.
The old man waved his hand, and the scene around them changed instantly, and they came to a fantasy world filled with fog.
"In this illusion, you will face your deepest fears and desires. Only by defeating yourself can you get out of here." The old man's voice echoed in the illusion.
Shen Mo and the others looked at each other, then took a deep breath and began to explore this mysterious fantasy.
The first thing Shen Mo encountered was a battle scene in which he had failed before. The enemies' ridicule and the sacrifice of his companions kept reappearing before his eyes. But he gritted his teeth, silently chanted the belief of justice in his heart, and finally broke through the shackles of fear.
Lin Yuwei was immersed in the painful memories of losing her loved ones, and tears blurred her eyes. However, she remembered her mission and used her strong will to get rid of the shackles of sadness.
Ye Lan is faced with endless glory and the temptation of power, but he keeps his original intention in mind and remains unmoved.
Alex encountered a powerful enemy that he once thought was invincible, but at this moment he burst out with amazing courage and overcame the fear in his heart.
Feng Yu lost his way in the illusion, and the darkness around him made him feel desperate. But he found a way out with his keen perception of the elements.
As everyone overcame their inner obstacles, the illusion began to dissipate and they returned to the cave.
The old man nodded slightly: "Yes, you have passed the test. But this is only the first step."
As he spoke, an ancient scroll appeared in the old man's hand: "It records the method of controlling the fragments of time, but the mystery within it needs you to comprehend it by yourselves."
Shen Mo took the book and said solemnly: "Thank you, senior."
Everyone began to study the scroll, but the text was obscure and full of mysterious symbols and patterns.
"What should I do?" Alex scratched his head.
Lin Yuwei said: "Let's discuss it together, maybe we can find some clues."
So they sat together, expressed their opinions, and interpreted the secrets in the book bit by bit.
After several days of hard work, they finally got some clues.
Just then, a noisy sound suddenly came from outside the cave.
"Oh no, it might be dangerous." Ye Lan said vigilantly.
When they came out of the cave, they saw a group of mysterious people in black armor approaching them.
"Who are you?" Shen Mo asked loudly.
The mysterious man in the lead sneered: "Hand over the fragment of time, or you will die."
Shen Mo and others were not afraid at all and got ready to meet the enemy.
A fierce battle is about to begin...
