Chapter 2312: Chapter 1284: Dragon Mirage, Once Again

Under Leo Ray’s guidance, our group of powerful allies quickly passed through the Gate of Ice Stone City and stepped into the mist-covered Mist Dream Valley.

Among our strong allies present, aside from the one sent back to Ironstone Fortress, Shirley, who couldn’t leave the Human World too far at the current stage, the remaining powerful ones, including Elder Bing, followed closely behind Leo Ray.

Due to the perpetual invisibility of Ice Stone City, as soon as our party stepped out of the city gate, it was as if they suddenly emerged from nothingness, which was rather magical.

However, immediately afterward, the group vanished completely within the Illusionary Barrier jointly cast by Elusa and Little Illusion, causing the slightly disturbed mist to return to calmness.

“Elder Bing, Grey Elder, Yonir, and Little Jie, with this, I have four Tier 6 Combat Power allies by my side.”

Amidst the swirling gray mist, Leo Ray looked at the strong allies surrounding him and nodded in satisfaction.

Then, Leo Ray’s attention focused on the surrounding scenery; the mist in front was so dense that it was difficult to see the objects a few meters away, undoubtedly greatly affecting our visibility.

“Elusa, Little Illusion, is there any energy wave from a Mirage around us?”

Leo Ray withdrew his gaze and asked the two Illusionists.

“My Lord, we haven’t detected any energy wave from a Mirage for the time being.”

Little Illusion, still in the form of a palm-sized Little Elf, retracted its transparent wings and sat on Leo Ray’s shoulder, tilting its head as it responded: “However, although there isn’t a Mirage here, I do sense another faint energy wave.”

“It’s a Dragon Mirage.”

Elusa picked up the thread and nodded gravely to Leo Ray: “Lord, although it’s somewhat faint, there are indeed multiple Dragon Mirages lingering here.”

“A Dragon Mirage?”

Leo Ray, hearing this, exchanged a glance with Hong Ye, and both saw a hint of seriousness in each other’s eyes.

Before meeting Hong Ye for the first time, Leo Ray had encountered a Dragon Mirage in Firsdale City, and the creator of that Dragon Mirage was naturally Hong Ye himself.

And as the name suggests, Dragon Mirage is precisely the Dream Materialization of the Dragon Clan, capable of generating powerful corporeal illusions to attack intruders.

“I remember that inside and outside the City Lord Mansion in Firsdale City, every General affected by the Dragon Mirage fainted, and the situation was extremely dangerous.”

“Moreover, at that time, Hong Ye was still within the multiple weakened barriers he set up, reducing his power significantly, so the Dragon Mirage’s impact naturally followed suit, or else our side wouldn’t have been so easily able to break it.”

Recalling the past scene, Leo Ray slowly took a deep breath.

The distance from here to Mist Dream Peak isn’t far, so encountering a Dragon Mirage is also reasonable.

The problem is that the mist here naturally serves as a way to hide our tracks, but if it draws attention due to the presence of Dragon Mirages, the situation would be very passive.

After all, apart from the Tier 5 Red Dragon, there are still unknown numbers of Tier 6 Red Dragons here.

“Rest assured, my Lord, Dragon Mirage is an unconscious product of the dragon’s sleep, and even if we encounter the forming illusions from within, it won’t alert the other side.”

Hong Ye bowed to Leo Ray and explained: “As long as we don’t get caught by any possible corporeal illusions, there won’t be any mishaps.”

“Understood, then let the old president guide the way ahead.”

Leo Ray nodded slightly, then looked toward the prepared Yonir.

As the strongest Great Wind Mage among the Human Clan, Yonir’s perception spell has reached an extraordinarily high level, much like a radar scan, clearly determining distant structures even in such low visibility.

“The entrance to the tunnel is roughly at the edge of the southwest City Wall under Mist Dream City, right?”

Yonir bowed with a hand to his chest, and then with a breeze stirring at the top of his Magic Wand, nodded to Leo Ray: “Your Majesty, please, this way.”

With that said, the Energy Barrier surrounding Yonir thickened as he walked at the forefront of the team.

The group had barely walked a few steps before the surrounding fog grew denser. With a blink, Leo Ray was already stepping onto a vast desert, with sandstorms rolling all around.

Feeling the sensation of the ground suddenly sinking beneath his feet, Leo Ray and the strong allies seemed unfazed, evidently realizing this was a scene within the Dragon Mirage.

In the center of the group, Elusa raised her Magic Wand and murmured a few incantations, and the ground beneath Leo Ray’s feet solidified again, stepping back onto a firm surface.

Within a few meters around our party, the desert scene returned to the usual mist, while the distance remained an endless desert, a desolate sight everywhere.

In an instant, wherever our party stepped, the desert transformed into flat land, and even the overwhelming sandstorm dissipated instantly, reappearing behind us, remarkably marvelous.

“I must say, even having experienced a Dragon Mirage once before, these inconceivable segmented scenes that would never appear in reality are indeed memorable.”

Leo Ray nodded slightly, continuing to move swiftly forward.

Within a few seconds, as a colossal sandstorm swept in from all directions, the surrounding desert and sandstorm instantly vanished, replaced by a colorful ring-shaped valley.

It was extremely vast, the vegetation exceptionally lush, with strange flowers and fruits shining with dazzling hues everywhere.
