There are still ten days until the hostage transaction!
Anxian Cliff is a continuous and huge cliff that runs east-west and crosses the two great dynasties of the Fifth Mountain and the Sea for hundreds of miles.
In this area, there are lush ancient trees and orchids everywhere, but strangely, there are very few living creatures.
Even on a sunny day, it's chilly close to this place, and there's always a chill coming out of my spine.
An eagle flew across the sky at low altitude, aimlessly patrolling the forest below. Its prismatic eyes reflected many details in Anxian Cliff.
Thousands of miles away, the image sent back by the eagle appeared in the bronze mirror, and Gu Chen and his group carefully observed the picture.
It only took five days to arrive at Anxian Cliff, which was something that Fang Yuan and his group must not know.
The combat power involved in this operation cannot be easily exposed until the day of the decisive battle.
Considering Fang Yuan's keen senses and endless methods, although there were many ways to find out the situation of Anxian Cliff, he still chose the safest method.
The bionic beast props refined by the Dwarf King are extremely concealable and can be observed from a distance in real time. Even if they are noticed by the enemy, they cannot trace their origin.
"Anxian Cliff is a famous and dangerous place in the Fifth Mountain and Sea. Because there was once a Corpse Emperor practicing here in seclusion, so no living beings dared to thrive here."
"However, thousands of years ago, the corpse emperor offended a certain powerful person and was crushed to ashes. The danger in this place is no longer there."
Jingxu Daozu observed the scene in the mirror and casually introduced it to everyone.
Many people know that Anxian Cliff is a dangerous place, but the reason why it is dangerous is because of a corpse emperor. There are very few people who know this.
As for the secret news that the Corpse Emperor has died at the hands of a certain boss, even fewer people have heard of it.
Jingxu Taoist can invade the dreams of countless living beings, and has lived for a very long time. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a living dictionary, he knows everything.
"Since there is no danger here, why are there still no creatures reproducing?"
Chen Daolin asked.
"Maybe it's because the corpse emperor's remaining Yin Qi is too heavy, or maybe there are other reasons!"
Jingxu Taoist replied.
"This place is remote and desolate. Even if a fierce fight occurs, it will take some time for it to spread to the outside world."
The empress of the Zhou clan really wanted to rush to Anxian Cliff to investigate the situation in person, but Gu Chen didn't want to expose that she was his ally, and Zhou Fengling might not be there now, so he could only suppress all his thoughts.
The picture in the ancient bronze mirror continued to shift with the eagle's perspective, and soon came to a place close to the huge cliff.
Right below the cliff, a city was built at some point!
Taoist Jingxu couldn't help but chuckle. "Look closer, I've never heard of a city here."
The dwarf emperor nodded, controlled the eagle to fly in the direction of the city, and quickly got a clear view of the situation inside the city.
The city is full of people and traffic, and it is as prosperous and lively as a market. It is in sharp contrast to the situation outside where people have disappeared thousands of miles away!
Everyone's expressions became solemn. Just now, they thought that this city might be the residence built by the Corpse King, but they no longer think so.
A living mortal life has nothing to do with Yin Qi or anything like that!
Since it was not the handiwork of the dead Corpse Emperor, then this city might be related to Fang Yuan!
"Do you want to keep getting closer?"
The dwarf emperor couldn't help but ask.
The mortal city stands alone at the foot of the cliff. If it approaches rashly, even if it is just an eagle, it will appear very abrupt.
What's more, there's obviously something fishy about that city, who knows if it's a trap!
"How can we obtain information without getting closer to investigate?"
Gu Chen asked back, and the Dwarf Emperor understood what he meant, and urged the eagle to fly closer to the city, and finally stopped on the battlements to observe the flow of people in the city.
The population in this city is roughly estimated to be one million people, including scholars, farmers, merchants, and merchants, all performing their duties, just like the rolling dust, far away from the world of monasticism.
A hawker hawking on the street, a wealthy businessman with a big belly, and a scholar who is in love with each other...
Everything looks so real, these millions of living beings seem to have no idea what kind of place they are in, living a life isolated from the world, working at sunrise and resting at sunset.
The more common it is, the more extraordinary it is!
"Could it be that the minds of the people in this entire city have been controlled? Don't they know that there are barren mountains and ridges outside?"
The Infinite Tyrannosaurus rex frowned.
"The point is, what's the point of controlling such a city of mortals in a place like this?"
Wei Chuan followed.
"Something's wrong. There are millions of people in this city, but my fantasy dream cannot extend into the dreams of any mortal in the city!"
Taoist Jingxu closed his eyes for a moment, and was slightly surprised when he opened them again.
"Isn't this place a mirage?"
Everyone was surprised when they heard what Jingxu Taoist said.
"It's impossible. My bionic beast has detection capabilities. The people in this city are indeed of real flesh and blood. This city is real."
The Dwarf Emperor immediately retorted, saying that the puppet he made was not that good and could not even distinguish between illusion and reality.
Whoosh——
A sharp arrow suddenly shot from the edge of the city wall. The eagle couldn't dodge, flapped its wings twice, and fell to the ground with a howl!
Soon a group of soldiers guarding the city arrived. The leader picked up the eagle's body and inspected it. He found no clues and threw it out of the city.
"Isn't your puppet too useless?"
Seeing this, everyone in front of the bronze mirror shook their heads.
Sure enough, spiritual consciousness is easy to use. This puppet was sent out only a short time ago, and it was in trouble so quickly!
"Don't worry, I did it on purpose."
The dwarf emperor showed a proud look on his face. After casting a spell, the image of the bronze mirror changed and appeared in the city again.
"There are actually two bionic beasts I sent out, one is an eagle, and the other is like a mosquito."
"Just when the city guard soldier grabbed the eagle corpse, another bionic beast had already taken the opportunity to jump on him. What you see now is the picture transmitted by the mosquito."
The dwarf emperor explained, this ingenious idea made everyone look slightly sideways.
"In addition to being able to conduct observation, this mosquito can also penetrate into the enemy's body to investigate the situation due to its size. If there is anything weird about the mortals in this city, you can find out if you explore it."
The dwarf emperor said again, and everyone couldn't help but show their approval.
Originally, the people present were all Taoist masters. Others didn't quite understand that Gu Chen brought the Dwarf Emperor, but now they suddenly understood.
The dwarf emperor quickly gave the order, and the mosquito-like bionic beast opened its mouth, bit the soldier's skin, and quickly got in!
The pain of burrowing in is no different from being bitten by a mosquito. After the bionic beast enters the soldier's body, what he sees is normal flesh, blood and organs.
Everyone was silent. The fact that the eagle was shot by sharp arrows before meant that this city was not a mirage.
The bionic beast flowed through the blood vessels in the soldier's body and quickly examined half of his body. Apart from the discovery that the man's blood seemed to be particularly active, there seemed to be no problem.
Soon, the bionic beast tried to enter the other half of the body, but was blocked at this time.
clang!
There was a dull metallic sound coming from the opposite side, and the other half of the body didn't seem to be flesh and blood!
Everyone saw this scene, but before they could react, Gu Chen's pupils shrank slightly.
Half flesh and half metal, could this kind of body structure be that of the Underworld Hunter?
However, this soldier is just one of millions of mortals in the city!
Could it be that, besides him, everyone else is also a ghost hunter in disguise?!
