In the following time, Chen Rui was patient and continued to chat with Isabella in a flirtatious manner. His seemingly casual words were more cautious.
This woman is not easy to deal with. She is more terrifying than Sabrina. If I'm not careful, I'll expose my flaws.
The carriage stopped at a fork in the road. Isabella, who had changed into a tight outfit, looked valiant. She ordered the coachman, Jardel, to separate the three horses that pulled the carriage. She rode one to Town Rod, leaving the remaining two for Chen Rui and Jardel to go to the ruins of Trevante.
Chen Rui drove the demonic horse and followed behind Jardel. These demonic horses were all mutated breeds. They were fast, but after running for a few hours, they still hadn't reached their destination. Moreover, the road was getting more and more rugged.
In front of a forest dominated by black trees, the seemingly panicked demonic horse stopped and refused to run forward. Chen Rui felt the fear of the demonic horse from < Analytical Eyes >. It seemed that there must be a powerful demonic beast in this dangerous place.
Jardel took out a magic map and handed it to Chen Rui. He said, "Sir, the entrance to the ruins of Trevante is in the middle of the black forest. My strength is meager. I was ordered to send sir here, so I won't go in."
Jardel was a Great Demon with a large build. He looked a bit shrewd. Chen Rui intuitively felt that Isabella didn't want him to kill this person. He secretly calculated in his heart whether to make this Great Demon with only Higher Demon strength into a puppet to obtain relevant information. However, he eventually rejected the idea. Maybe Isabella had some means of monitoring. It would be troublesome if the God-Eating Mask was exposed.
"Okay, go in peace." Chen Rui nodded to Jardel.
That was the last sentence Jardel heard in his life.
Regardless of whether Jardel was innocent or not, Chen Rui still used the fastest means to kill him. Just like how he destroyed the Mystic Valley in the Crystal Valley, he didn't show any mercy.
In the big dyeing vat of life, sometimes it was inevitable to be dyed with colors that didn't belong to you. The only thing that could be maintained might be the original color of the heart under the colorful colors.
Even a small portion of it was extremely precious.
Chen Rui knew he didn't have much time, so he followed the map and walked straight into the forest. The forest covered a large area, and the tall black trees with lush branches and leaves were like huge umbrellas, so the light from the two moons, which were not strong enough to begin with, could barely penetrate through the overlapping branches. It could only reveal specks of light and shadow, which made it look even more eerie.
Although Chen Rui already had considerable strength, he still didn't dare to relax his vigilance in this unknown jungle. Relying on the function of < Analytical Eyes >, he avoided some powerful demonic beasts along the way and moved toward the center of the forest in the fastest straight path.
About two hours later, Chen Rui finally approached the center of the forest on the map.
Compared with the dense forest in front, there were very few trees in this area. He could already see some broken tiles and ruins, which seemed to be old. The further he walked, the more abandoned buildings he saw. This should be the Trevante that Isabella mentioned.
From the scale of this ruin and the traces left behind, it could be vaguely seen that it should have its own glory, but he didn't know which race left the ruins.
Dead silence and eerie, this was how Chen Rui felt about the Trevante. There were no demonic beasts or animals in the entire ruin. There was a depressing feeling of death. Chen Rui found the underground entrance marked on the map. It was a three-meter-high gate. On the broken stone gate that only had half of it left, some relief patterns could be faintly seen. The most obvious one was a huge totem which seemed to be half an eye. If the stone gate on the other side was still there, then according to the symmetrical relationship, was it a complete huge eye?
What does this mean?
Chen Rui took a deep breath and walked in.
This section of the underground passage was very long. Fortunately, there were one or two effective magic light sources along the way which could barely provide a certain degree of visibility. This visibility was much worse than the underground world of Mountain Xilang and the underground palace of Silent Night Wetland. Most of the time, he was moving forward in the dark. The fear of the unknown danger in the dark made the atmosphere even more gloomy.
Fortunately, with Chen Rui's current strength, he could see the situation within a certain distance even in a completely dark environment. With the help of the illumination ring and magic eye compass, he moved forward carefully.
The scale of this underground ruin was actually larger than the residual buildings on the ground. It was similar to Paglio's underground cave in Silent Night Wetland. Rugged white bones could be seen on the ground from time to time, but they should have been left a long time ago. The bones were fragile because of decay. They were not the person mentioned by Isabella.
At this moment, a prompt suddenly appeared in Chen Rui's < Analytical Eyes >. At the same time, the image of the magic eye compass suddenly distorted as if it was disturbed by some power. The image actually disappeared.
Race: Evil Eye.
Comprehensive Strength Assessment: C.
Physique: C, Strength: E +, Spirit: C +, Agility: E +.
Evil eye, also known as eye demon, was a powerful Demon Realm creature. Just like its name, its main body was a huge eye in the head which occupied about the entire head. Its limbs were a few tentacles. Although this creature's speed was not fast, it could float in the low air. The most terrifying thing was its spirit power. Not only could it sense elements and launch magical ray attacks, but it could also be accompanied by various negative effects. The most terrifying thing was that it had a talent of penetration which could ignore the enemy's defense to a certain extent.
In other words, no matter how strong a person's defense was, he could not be immune to the evil eye's attack.
There was actually an evil eye in this underground ruin, and it even had the strength of a Demon King! Chen Rui was slightly surprised. A floating blurred figure appeared in his sight. Then, a pale green light struck like lightning. It penetrated through the body and fell on the rock behind. The hard rock suddenly shattered. The cracked rock that was stained with the green light began to decay rapidly, then it turned into a mud-like object.
A poisonous ray!
Chen Rui launched the teleportation skill at the critical moment just now. The ray only penetrated his phantasm. Although he was not afraid of poison, this kind of attack was concentrated into one point, like some kind of ray gun. Its destructive and penetrating power was quite strong. Even Chen Rui, who was at the Great Demon King level, did not dare to take it head-on.
While dodging the ray attack, he sent a friendly message in the [Analytical Eyes]. The answer of the evil eye was very simple – a more powerful poisonous ray.
Chen Rui felt a strong hostility and killing intent from the evil eye. When he was thinking of countermeasures, the [Analytical Eyes] sent another prompt. There was actually a mutated evil eye behind. Comprehensive Strength: B +!
Physique: B +, Strength: C +, Spirit: A-, Agility: B.
The evil eye of the peak of Great Demon King! Before Chen Rui could react, there was a sudden sharp pain in his head as if a sharp blade was directly pierced into his head. It was almost unbearable. He couldn't help but groan.
This was no longer a visible ray attack, but a formless mental attack!
The spirit power of the evil eye was very terrifying. It was clearly the strength of the peak of the Great Demon King, but its spirit power had reached the level of the early stage of the Demon Emperor. With the talent of "penetration", Chen Rui was caught off guard and suffered a big loss. Fortunately, the passive characteristic of "anti-magic" played a role in time. Otherwise, this sudden blow was likely to make him faint to the ground.
Chen Rui gritted his teeth and endured the pain. He distanced himself from the terrifying evil eye with Demon Emperor level spirit power in front of him. Then, the display in the [Analytical Eyes] made his hair stand up. There were 2 more, and they even sealed the passage he came from.
The darkness had no effect on the evil eye. Instead, it was the best environment for hunting. The evil eye's favorite was the spirit type "food". It generally absorbed some special plant essence with similar effects. Devouring the soul of demonic beasts was also a habitual hunting method. Therefore, this underground and even the entire Trevante ruins were dead silent. There were no living creatures.
Chen Rui suddenly thought of the strange eye symbol on the entrance gate, and he finally understood that this underground ruin was the evil eye's lair!
The evil eye's territorial concept was extremely strong. It had the meaning that those who were not of the same race must have different intentions. The "invader" in front of them had obviously become the prey in their eyes. It was useless even if Chen Rui tried to communicate. As a predator, how could he be friendly with the "food"?
Chen Rui didn't have time to think much. He immediately teleported and dodged the ray attack of several evil eyes. His shoulder was swept by a [Flame Ray]. The terrifying heat of the ray penetrated the magic armor, and the skin of his shoulder was suddenly scorched. Fortunately, his physique was special. The 3 characteristics of [Astral Form], [Damage Absorption] and [Regeneration] were activated. The injury began to recover quickly.
Putting aside this kind of physical damage, Chen Rui was most afraid of the peak Great Demon King-level evil eye's spirit impact power. The uncomfortable feeling caused just now had not been completely eliminated. Fortunately, the Super System absorbed all the spirit aftermath that invaded his brain and continued to destroy. Otherwise, it was uncertain whether he had the strength to escape now.
The evil eye not only had a special talent for spirit attack, but it was even more terrifying as a social creature. The Demon Emperor-level evil eye was also known as the evil eye tyrant. Generally speaking, this was the upper limit of the evil eye's power, but individual mutants may reach a higher level. Due to the terrifying spirit power, even the Demon Overlord-level powerhouse was not willing to provoke them easily.
This is what Isabella said, "a little bit of danger"?
There should be more than a few evil eyes underground. It was likely that there were more powerful guys. If they went all out, Chen Rui was definitely not their opponent. Moreover, his purpose of coming here was to find someone, not to eliminate the evil eye.
Thinking of this, Chen Rui put away the unnecessary spiritual communication and carefully avoided the evil eye's attack. Suddenly, a large number of huge vines appeared on the ground and rolled toward the evil eye.
It turned out that when he was dodging just now, Chen Rui had secretly planted the gluttonous vine seeds. These vines definitely couldn't defeat the evil eyes, but they could effectively hold them back. Just as the evil eyes were dealing with the vines, Chen Rui had already taken the opportunity to run forward. Although the evil eye's spirit power was terrifying, speed was its weakness. With full speed, he quickly got rid of these dangerous guys.
The evil eye that destroyed the gluttonous vine in the rear felt the escape of the intruder, and it hissed angrily.
This kind of "hissing" was a kind of spirit energy similar to sound waves. Its effective range was very far, especially when the "sound waves" of several evil eyes connected together, forming a kind of mutual amplification shock effect. Even if Chen Rui was far away from the eye demons, he could still feel that powerful fluctuation. This kind of spirit fluctuation contained various terrifying feelings such as violence, brutality, madness, and so on.
What was even more frightening was that there were similar waves coming from nearby. They seemed to be resonating with those Evil Eyes from before. These waves were getting stronger and stronger, and it was unknown how many Evil Eyes were emitting them. They intertwined and produced an even stronger resonance, forming a terrifying and huge spiritual network.
There seemed to be countless invisible hands from all directions, tearing his consciousness. For a moment, his five senses almost lost their function. All kinds of negative emotions surged into Chen Rui's heart. He only felt that his chest was extremely irritated, and his emotions became particularly irritable.
Chen Rui didn't expect the evil eye to have such an indiscriminate large-scale attack. His mind had been "tempered" by Shura during [Refined Mind]. Coupled with the Super System's automatic absorption function of negative energy, although these spirit fluctuations were terrifying, they couldn't shake his will.
However, this fluctuation seemed to be endless. It lasted for nearly half an hour and still didn't dissipate. The horror of the evil eye's spirit power was evident.
No wonder Isabella once said that she wanted to see if the person was dead or crazy. If it was another person, even if he was at the same level of strength as Chen Rui, he would probably be driven crazy even if he could survive in this terrifying environment for a long time.
Since the last time this woman implanted a fatal voodoo in him, Chen Rui had already seen the ruthlessness of the "Flower of Mandala". However, the current plan must first pass Isabella. Since he was already here, he must at least bring back a corpse.
Chen Rui resisted the influence of this spirit fluctuation and carefully explored forward. The magic compass that was affected by the evil eye's power could no longer play a role. He also didn't dare to use the illumination ring again, so as not to attract the evil eye's attention. Fortunately, he had the [Analytical Eyes]. It could play the most critical detection role in this unfavorable environment with extremely low visibility and strong interference of hearing.
After walking cautiously for a while, the strong spirit fluctuation finally weakened slowly. Chen Rui, who had recovered his hearing, suddenly heard a strange sound. It was the sound of screaming.
This was by no means the voice of the evil eye. It sounded a bit like a human voice. It was probably the person who offended Isabella.
Unexpectedly, this person was still alive. Chen Rui hurriedly quickened his pace. The voice was getting closer and closer. It was really a human voice with a kind of hysterical hoarseness.
Chen Rui only felt that this voice was faintly familiar. Suddenly, his expression changed drastically: It's Lomont!
The person who offended Isabella and was tricked into this terrifying evil eye lair is actually Lomont who has not returned to the Dark Moon!
