Chapter 708: Terrifying Illusion?

What, you want to go play hero alone again?

Lin Ran didn't retreat even half a step, pointing her finger repeatedly at Zhang Jie's chest.

Is the past disaster trying to replay before our eyes? No, she absolutely will not allow it, absolutely not!!

I didn't....

Zhang Jie argued helplessly, but to Lin Ran, this was an indisputable crime!!!

Don't think you can fool me; this time, you're not allowed to go anywhere.

Lin Ran's strength surpassed Zhang Jie's expectations. But in fact, Zhang Jie hadn't planned to go himself; otherwise, what would be the point of hiring mercenaries?

I hired two single-body shattered-star level mercenaries to do the exploration in our place.

Those two should arrive soon; don't worry, nothing will happen.

Lin Ran then nodded in satisfaction; that's right, that's how it should be.

By the way, how exactly are they doing?

Zhang Jie spoke up to ask, while Lin Ran replied very solemnly.

Not optimistic, very dangerous.

The Emperor Knight is already on the brink of death; the life monitor here can clearly show it.

Zhang Jie furrowed his brows, staring at the data Lin Ran pointed to, not knowing what to say.

'Little Aunt' that guy isn't a normal person; he shouldn't die so easily, after all, last time he was ambushed and beaten to that state, he was still jumping around lively.

Should we first use the warships to encircle that area?

Lin Ran asked; Zhang Jie thought for a moment, then nodded.

I'll go tell Yunxiao.

Huh?

Lin Ran froze, then pouted; taking the chance while Zhang Jie was sending a message, she fiercely bumped her head into his.

Hiss! What the hell!

The foolish-headed donkey, the donkey itself, had no doubt.

It's just about spawning troops; who can't do that?

Lin Ran gave a cold snort, stopped throwing a tantrum, and began notifying the entire fleet to advance toward the target direction.

At this moment, after Zhang Jie finished notifying Yunxiao, he opened the mercenary platform once again.

Huh? What's this CG?

Zhang Jie, looking at one of the clips on the homepage, asked, and then realized that some godlike person had actually turned the Deep Space Knight's battle back then into a promotional video.

Is this yours? Did you just film it?

Never mind, I don't care anymore....

Just wait for those mercenaries to come.

Zhang Jie said that, little knowing what Weiniya and the others were facing inside at that moment.

It was a creature that cannot be described in words. If one must use a word to describe it, it is an indescribable entity.

This thing, upon appearance, seriously injured 'Little Aunt', accompanied by strange fluctuations and an ability similar to ghost walls, trapping the Deep Space Knight completely inside.

Damn it! What the hell are these things!

Jinmai and the others covered 'Little Aunt' as they continually retreated, in this passage that seemed endless, fleeing in a sorry state.

Those monsters were completely unlike any kind of celestial disaster they knew, not insect disaster, not beast disaster, and certainly not the so-called blood disaster.

But rather, it is a kind of thing that exists only in some novels or fantasy themes, an indescribable monster.

It has no concrete form, cannot be described in language, its combat power is extremely terrifying; just one of them chased all the Deep Space Knights into a sorry rout.

Weiniya struggled to fend off the attacks, together with that insectoid instructor, maintaining the team's basic balance.

This isn't the scariest part; the scariest is that Weiniya saw countless pairs of identical eyes behind the enemy.

In other words, there who knows how many more of such monsters lurking behind, eyes gleaming.

Is this hell?

Weiniya muttered to herself, her heart filled with bitter sorrow; she truly didn't know why such a terrifying place exists in the universe.

If we could get the message out, this place would probably require a dozen or so advanced civilizations joining forces to resolve.

Please don't come over, teacher...

Don't fool yourself, it's impossible for them not to come; given Zhang Jie's personality, whatever Weiniya says is useless.

Ugh!

Beside him, Jinmai let out a miserable scream, his body blasted away by a huge force, instantly lying motionless on the ground.

Although Jinmai and the others basically can't die, if they dissipate, all the training they've done this period, as well as the massive celestial disaster possessed by the Nightmare, would all be wasted.

Don't worry about me!

Jinmai spat out a mouthful of blood, his body began to rapidly expand.

He's about to release the true form of the celestial disaster!

Wait till I go back, bring the message back! You guys hold on!

Releasing the celestial disaster's true form indeed worked; Jinmai's body rapidly expanded, even temporarily withstanding the enemy's attack.

Two figures behind closely followed; they were also Zhang Jie's Dream-awakening Knights, and after releasing their true forms, they could hold out a bit longer.

At this very moment, powder of unknown substance rained down from the sky in abundance, looking colorful and very pretty.

But now, nobody has the mood to appreciate it; in this endless space, which way to flee is correct, no one knows.

Whether to fight to the death or flee to death, this is a dilemma, but the knights' code will not allow them to keep fleeing.

Charge!!!

And just then, the monster, seeing the sky-full of colored powder, suddenly let out a cute cry, turned and fled.

Weiniya could clearly see not far away; those red pupils staring at them were disappearing one by one.

She was about to say something, but the next moment her vision went black.

Not just her; everyone was the same, and when they opened their eyes again, they found they had returned to their original positions.

After they had just fallen into a Ghost Wall environment, the surrounding scenery remained identical, yet at this moment they all returned to the starting point.

Weiniya was well aware of this; she had too deep an impression of this place.

"Are we back?"

Weiniya looked around, but discovered that the little aunt was completely unharmed at this moment, her deathly appearance gone, as if everything just now had been an illusion.

"No, it really is an illusion!"

Weiniya finally sensed something was wrong, because at this moment the sky was still drifting with colorful powder.

"What's going on?"

She was puzzled, and the next moment she saw the monster that had been chasing them to kill.

But this time, the little aunt merely moved her finger lightly and crushed the opponent into a meat paste.

"What a terrifying hallucination ability."

The little aunt patted her chest, still frightened; just now her vital signs had indeed dropped to the brink of death, and this feeling would not be affected by hallucination-type effects.

In other words, if she believed she was dead, this effect would directly synchronize with reality.

I believe the Alliance's monitoring over there could also see it.

"Let's go out; this place is a bit weird. Wait for the main force to arrive, then we can continue exploring."
