Chapter 115 Ch 115: Strange Illusion
Alex was currently standing on a rocky road and was looking in front of him with an excited gaze.
Previously, Alex sensed something unique about this place so he came here. As soon as he came here, he fell into an illusion. This illusion teleported him to a completely different space where a small city existed not far from where he was standing.
For some mysterious reason, a huge amount of information appeared about the illusion in his mind. It was not the system that gave him the information, it was a kind of mysterious power that was out of Alex's reach right now, causing him not to know how so much information appeared in his mind.
From that information, he knew what this illusion was all about and what he has to do before breaking this illusion.
To break the illusion, he has to first enter the city. To Alex, this small piece of Valley of Death was becoming more and more mysterious.
Taking a deep breath, Alex turned into a ray of light and flew in a certain direction. He sped along the road and very quickly arrived at the city called Heaven Origin City.
This city was not considered to be very large. It was merely a city that covered several hundred miles. In the outside world, it could be said to be a small city. However, in this place, it was one of the few great cities within the Ancient Era's Remnants. At least, this was what he got from the information that suddenly appeared in his mind.
Alex walked along the main road and arrived outside the city gate. When he arrived here, he saw over ten guards looking around. He was surprised to see that all of the guards were Golden Core Stage and above martial warriors.
"Is this your first time here?"
When Alex arrived in front of the City Gate, one of the guards noticed that Alex looked unfamiliar and could not help but stop him. After sizing him up for a while, he said, "You have to pay two Mid Rank Spirit Stones to enter the city."
One must know that in the outside world, Mid Rank Spirit Stones were extremely rare. In the transactions of ordinary people, they would usually be traded for gold coins, and for martial warriors, they at most used Low Grade Spirit Stones.
When Alex heard this person's words, he subconsciously touched his spatial ring and realized with embarrassment that he did not have any mid grade spirit stones on him. All he had were low grade spirit stones. He tried to look at the guards' attribute panel and duplicate the spirit stones if they have some, however, to his surprise, he couldn't see their attributes at all.
Well, he was surprised only for a short while. He understood the reason why the system didn't work. After all, these guards and everything about here was illusions.
"You dare to enter the city without spirit stones, scram!" Seeing Alex not telling anything and awkwardly standing in front of the gate, the guard obviously understood Alex's situation. He immediately waved his hand, preventing Alex from entering, and shouted at him.
Seeing this guard's vile attitude, Alex's face also turned cold. To the current him, not to mention these guards, even the experts at Origin Sea Stage wouldn't be able to do anything.
"I don't have any Mid Grade Spirit Stones, but if I want to enter the city, you won't be able to stop me," Alex said coldly.
When Alex's words fell, all the Guards rushed over. When they understood what was going on, they lined up one by one and surrounded Alex.
"You dare to barge into Heaven Origin City without spirit stones and dare to threaten us. Do you want to die, boy?"
"Why are you wasting words with him, just beat him up."
If they saw any Spirit Origin Stage martial warriors coming, let alone the fees for entering the city, they would probably immediately crawl down on their knees and lower their heads like dogs in front of the opponent.
However, because Alex was still a Golden Core Stage martial warrior, in their eyes, Alex was naturally not a threat.
Immediately, all of them took out their weapons, wanting to kill Alex here.
Seeing that the other party was about to attack them without a word, Alex also sneered, and immediately after, his aura was released. The aura of a Golden Core Stage martial warrior burst out from his body without restraint, engulfing the entire city gate, and completely suppressing all the guards.
Although Alex was only a Golden Core Stage martial warrior, his aura was comparable to that of a Peak Spirit Origin Stage martial warrior.
"AHH!"
Following the miserable wails, all the guards who were in charge of guarding the city gate were suppressed by Alex's imposing aura and were unable to move, nor could they even raise their heads.
Seeing this scene, Alex coldly snorted. If he had not silently retracted most of his aura, just this aura alone would have been enough to heavily injure them.
"Do you still need to pay the entry fee?" Alex indifferently looked at the guards and asked coldly.
The guards were oppressed by Alex to the point that their bones were about to shatter. How could he not understand that Alex was a great figure that they could not offend? One of them immediately shouted: "This little one was wrong, please spare me, milord."
Alex looked in their direction and saw that everyone was kowtowing. Alex then stopped and retracted his aura back. After that, he completely ignored them and walked into the city.
After Alex left, the imposing aura that he released previously disappeared, causing them to feel light, they immediately regained control of their bodies and stood up immediately.
"This person is truly hateful. Should we inform the Commander and have him teach this person a lesson?" One of the guards gritted his teeth and spoke out.
They were responsible for guarding the city gates. They were under the will of the City Lord's Mansion, so how could they have received such treatment before?
As soon as he finished speaking, the other guards looked at him as if they were looking at an idiot.
"This person is definitely not someone to be trifled with. From his body, I can sense an incomparably terrifying power. This kind of power is something even some Spirit Origin Stage martial warriors do not possess. I'm afraid that… He is a great character of some great Martial Sect." Another guard, who still had some lingering fear in his heart, spoke while shaking his head.
It didn't matter where, the strong were respected. It was the same within the Illusion. How could they dare to provoke such a great character?
Alex continued walking forward until he reached an inn. Finally, he stopped.
.....
Two days went by very soon. Outside the illusion, Rodhre also appeared on the rocky road. For some reason, he was attracted to this place and very soon fell into the same illusion that Alex had fallen.
What happened with Alex, the same happened to him as well. He also suddenly felt a burst of new information appearing in his mind, causing him to frown. Then he calmed down, went through the information, and took a deep breath.
He was clearly aware of the terror of the Valley Of Death, so, unlike Alex, he started worrying in his heart and kept moving.
Not long after, he also arrived at the city gate where a few Golden Core Stage guards were guarding.
Unlike Alex, Rodhre was now an Origin Sea Stage martial warrior. The guards didn't dare to stop Rodhre and let him in the city.
"Why does the information that suddenly appeared in my mind wants me to kill a person named Alex?"
Rodhre couldn't understand what was going on. But he knew this matter was not simple at all. He decided to play carefully and not fall into any kind of trap.
Taking a deep breath, he muttered, "I should first gather as much information about this city as possible. Only then will I plan my next step!"
With this thought in his heart, Rodhre went to a nearby store and started asking about this city.
.....
Alex's mission was also something like this. The information that appeared in his mind told him to kill a person called Jiang Feng. After killing the person named Jiang Feng, his mission will be over and he'll be given a unique gift.
There was no information about what unique gift he'll be given, but it was said that the unique gift could change his life forever.
Alex was completely unaware of who this Jiang Feng was, but according to him, this Jiang Feng should be a person born from the illusion as well.
So, for these two days, he was asking around for any information related to a person surnamed Jiang.
