Chapter 560: Chapter 405: Reflection in the Water_2
Scarlett scratched her head and chuckled, “Information about the Dragon Mirage in ancient books is quite fragmented.”
So, I merely heard an old monster in the Magic Tower mention it by chance in a class, and with Joshua’s hint, I made the connection on time.”
Hearing this, Leo Ray slightly raised his eyebrows and muttered to himself, “I have to say, this Dragon Mirage is truly extraordinary.”
At the same time, the white balls that had been closely enclosing everyone began to scatter, opening up a path forward.
“Alright, let’s continue.”
Upon seeing this, Leo Ray once again took a step forward.
However, after only taking a few steps in this void space filled with white balls, Leo Ray noticed the changes happening in some of them.
This time, it wasn’t that the balls showed hostility, but rather, their surfaces began to display a series of extremely blurry images, like distorted spherical screens or funhouse mirrors.
Within them, one could vaguely see scenes of mountains and rivers, battlefields and corpses, cliffs, and castles, in addition to the images that had appeared earlier.
There were also groups of Red Dragons, burning flames, and even scenes of battles against various Dragon Clan members and more.
However, because the images were blurry and there was no sound, they felt like damaged colored silent films being played.
Furthermore, these images all appeared from a first-person perspective.
Or rather, it would be more appropriate to say a first-dragon perspective.
That’s because Leo Ray saw more than once a stream of blazing dragon flames spewing out from the bottom of the screen.
Sometimes, along with the movement of the viewpoint, a pair of sharp claws and fiery-red wings could even be seen occasionally.
Noticing this, Leo Ray’s subordinates couldn’t help but let out gasps of amazement again.
“My Lord, it seems that the scenes shown within these balls are what the sealed Giant Dragon had experienced.”
At this moment, Gideon Black adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose and said thoughtfully, “It seems that the area we are currently in might be the projection of the Giant Dragon’s subconscious.”
“Uncle Priest is right!”
Hearing this, Scarlett chimed in, “After all, there might be some gaps between dreams.”
“I see.”
With a slight nod, Leo Ray narrowed his eyes and began to observe the blurry images more closely.
Undoubtedly, since that’s the case, perhaps some information might be found in these images about the reason the Red Dragon was sealed here, which has yet to be known.
However, just as Leo Ray was thinking about this, all the white balls suddenly disappeared as if sensing his intention.
At the same time, the familiar thick white fog began filling the pitch-black void space.
In a moment, when the white fog dissipated, Leo Ray found out that he and his subordinates were now standing in a lush green forest.
At this moment, the sky was exceptionally clear, the surrounding flowers and trees were thriving, and the fragrant scent of the flowers could even be smelled.
Occasionally, a squirrel would scurry past, making cooing sounds.
In short, everything seemed almost identical to reality, which was in sharp contrast to the strange dream he had just experienced.
“What kind of trick is being played this time?”
Looking at the seemingly calm scene before him, Leo Ray wouldn’t let his guard down, and began to observe carefully again.
From where they stood and looking forward, the first thing that appeared was a clear stream flowing gently.
On the other side of the stream, there was also a dense jungle, making it impossible to see further scenery.
“My Lord, the last gate to Firsdale Territory is not far from the other side of the stream!”
At this moment, Joshua Bingaman’s slightly nervous voice reached Leo Ray’s ears.
The guard who fainted outside the City Lord Mansion’s gate was a testament to this.At present, this Dragon Mirage has more or less affected the outside world.
If at this time, the three searching Red Dragons fly to Firsdale City, the city would undoubtedly be in grave danger.
Therefore, just as they were doing now, they could only solve this crisis fundamentally by breaking the Dragon Mirage and completely suppressing the Red Dragons before their arrival.
On the other side, Leo Ray, who was also well aware of this, did not hesitate. He mobilized the energy in his abdomen to its extreme and took a step forward, saying, “Alright, let’s move on.”
Approaching the stream, Leo Ray noticed.
This rippling shallow stream was extremely clear, and he could see many transparent tiny fish and shrimps leisurely swimming through the pebbles at the bottom.
For a moment, the sound of flowing water and the chirping of birds and insects in the forest was intertwined, giving rise to a sense of refreshment and invigoration.
Next, as Leo Ray was about to cross the stream,
Bianca White’s crisp voice came from the side: “Lord, there seems to be something wrong with this stream.”
“Oh?”
Hearing this, a strange feeling instantly surged through Leo Ray’s mind.
Upon closer inspection, this seemingly ordinary stream indeed had an indescribable sense of contradiction.
However, it was hard to explain what was strange about it at the moment.
“My Lord, I understand now!”
Right after, Serena Clark’s crisp and confident voice rang beside Leo Ray, “This stream doesn’t reflect our images in the water!”
“I see.”
At this moment, Leo Ray immediately understood. Just as Serena had said, the reflections of many trees and the two scorching suns above their heads were clearly visible on the surface of the stream.
However, their own shadows were the only thing missing, which was quite peculiar.
“No, my Lord.”
On the other side, Taylor’s rough and astonished voice rang out again, “This stream does reflect our images, but the reflections are not of our true selves.”
“The reflections are not of our true selves?”
Hearing this confusing tongue-twister, Leo Ray looked intently for a while before noticing.
As it turned out, Taylor was right.
Indeed, their reflections had emerged.
However, it was difficult to notice without careful observation and movement comparison.
That’s because what had appeared on the surface of the stream were ten tiny ants that could easily be overlooked!
“Taylor, a Tier 5, has the largest ant body, while Tier 4s Gideon Black, Scarlett, and Serena and Stella have the second-largest. Are those at the Tier 3 peak, including myself, the smallest?”
Seeing this, Leo Ray couldn’t help but twitch his mouth and ponder in his heart, “Before this, Scarlett did mention that the proud Dragon Clan despised interacting with humans and even treated them like ants.
At first, I thought there might be some exaggeration in this, but now it seems to be quite fitting.”
Realizing this less harmful but highly insulting detail, Leo Ray couldn’t help but smile.
Continuing his thought, “However, I believe it won’t be long before I, this ‘tiny ant,’ will be mounted on the necks of these arrogant dragons, making them realize how terrifying it is to underestimate the Human Clan.”
Thinking of this, Leo Ray turned to look at the other subordinates beside him.
He saw anger on everyone’s faces that they could hardly suppress.
Especially Taylor, whose face was covered with bulging veins, apparently ready to fight the Red Dragon at any moment.
“Alright, let’s move on. After all, this is just a dream of the other party.”
With a faint smile at his subordinates, Leo Ray took a step forward and said, “Then let the other party see how we, these ‘tiny ants,’ completely suppress them.”
“Your orders, my Lord!”
Hearing this, the subordinates clasped their fists and closely surrounded Leo Ray.
