In the capital, Chen Rui took a sum of money provided by Obsidian and set foot on the teleportation portal to the "human world".
The financial resources of an empire were naturally far from comparable to an estate. Obsidian was quite generous. He directly threw out 1 billion black crystal coins. Paying such a huge sum of money to a human who he had just come into contact with, he had to admit that the regent was still very bold. However, Chen Rui knew very well that this number was far from the other party's bottom line. It could be said that it was a test.
Chen Rui claimed that with this injection of funds, it would far exceed his original plan and could activate most projects. Therefore, he could get a rebate as soon as half a month. The interest rate was 10%. Due to the high investment, Obsidian could make a net profit of 100 million in half a month. This rebate rate was already quite impressive.
Chen Rui left the capital and did not return to the Dark Moon. Instead, he went to a mysterious place.
Rainbow Valley.
Compared with the poetic name of Rainbow Valley, the place where Chen Rui was located could only be described as "barren mountains and unruly rivers".
Huge, dangerous, and barren. Except for a few occasional colorful flowers that were barely considered bright spots, there was nothing valuable to be found at all.
However, the origin of Rainbow Valley was not because of how beautiful the scenery here was, but the legend said that every time a rainbow appeared here, a mysterious valley would appear. When the rainbow disappeared, the valley would disappear again.
Chen Rui came here naturally to repair the requiem fruit of the elemental heart, but there was no fixed time for the appearance of this rainbow. The interval might be a few months, a few years, or a few days. When there was no rainbow, there would be no trace of the mysterious valley.
When Chen Rui came, he did not see a rainbow, so he naturally could not see the legendary Rainbow Valley. He was not the first person to explore at ordinary times, but now he was the only one here because no one who had come to explore for thousands of years had gained anything. As time passed, no one was willing to waste time.
Unlike those adventurers who were purely curious, Chen Rui came here with a considerable purpose. However, this was completely different from the "artificial treasure" he created in the Dark Moon. He did not find anything like a magic circle, but he still did not give up. He took out the tent he carried with him and stayed here.
An entire day had passed, but there was still no result, and no rainbow had appeared.
Chen Rui had obtained the true inheritance of Paglio's Dragon Inscription, and he had gained a lot of knowledge of magic circles from the Mechanic Association. Especially the mysterious magic circles of the ancient magic tower, it was not limited to the scope of mechanics. The rainbow was most likely the trigger of a certain magic circle, or a phenomenon caused by the trigger of a certain key point. Regardless of whether the inducement existed or not, the Rainbow Valley was definitely a real existence. It was just that it was usually hidden, and the entrance to the teleportation or space could not be found.
As a master who was proficient in magic circle (it could almost be said that), Chen Rui had a faint feeling that it was too "natural" for him to gain nothing in the valley. It was as if everything was produced under the guidance of the environment and conditions. This instead showed some traces of craftsmanship. An ordinary adventurer or magic array researcher wouldn't have felt this way.
Of course, he couldn't rule out the possibility that it was some kind of illusion.
If this feeling was true, then everything he saw now might even be a hidden part of the Rainbow Valley itself. In other words, this "magic circle" had been perfectly integrated into nature with almost no flaws.
If it was artificially set up, then the person who set up the magic circle … had reached an unpredictable level.
With this assumption, Chen Rui began to pay attention to some details and recorded daily natural changes, such as the shadow of the 2 moons, the direction of the wind, the location of the hills, etc.
He spent another day entering the refinery and connecting to the training ground's 100 times time rule. This time, he did not train or make equipment. Instead, he carefully sorted out the Dragon Inscription, magic circle knowledge, and the notes of the Mechanic Association in his mind. Then, he carried out corresponding experiments and calculations in the refinery.
When Chen Rui exited the refinery, the way he looked at the valley had changed again. After applying the results of the calculation to reality, he searched all the way and finally found a "point" in a puddle of rotting water.
This point couldn't trigger the appearance of the Rainbow Valley. Perhaps it was just a useless auxiliary node in the mysterious space. For Chen Rui, it was a major breakthrough that fully proved the feasibility of the idea.
In the next few days, Chen Rui devoted himself to research and calculations. He found more points in succession. Some were in caves, and some were buried deep under the roots of big trees …
After many deductions in the refinery using the law of time, he finally connected these 'points' into veins. He tried to activate the entire 'plane', and finally, after countless failures, he successfully opened an oval channel that looked like a door.
This channel was not like a teleportation point, but the entrance to some kind of space. Unknown space was a very dangerous concept. There was the danger of falling into space turbulence at any time. After this entrance was opened, it immediately began to shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the blink of an eye, it was only the size of the mouth of a water tank.
This kind of channel was a temporary "variable" with considerable randomness. It would take a lot of effort to re-deduce the next time he wanted to open it again. Chen Rui gritted his teeth, shook his body, and rushed in.
As soon as he entered the spatial passageway, he felt as if his body and soul had encountered an irresistible force. He was dazzled and couldn't see anything clearly. He only felt that the world was spinning and distorting. This feeling of distortion lasted for nearly half an hour before it gradually disappeared.
Chen Rui, who had returned to normal, felt that his internal organs were tumbling, and he almost vomited. When he calmed down, he was immediately stunned by the scene in front of him.
As far as the eye could see, there was lush greenery everywhere, clear water could be seen in the mountain stream, and the air was full of the freshness and fragrance of plants. There was a faint mist in the woods in front of him, and from time to time, there were sweet birds singing.
Chen Rui suddenly thought of a sentence in his mind, "The clouds are green and ready to rain, and the water is quiet and smoky." It was completely different from the previous barren mountains and rivers. The beautiful scenery in front of him was like a fairyland.
This should be the real Rainbow Valley!
However, this "fairyland" was not simple. It could be said that every step was dangerous. Chen Rui could feel that there were irregular dangerous "veins" everywhere, which were dozens of times more complicated than outside. If he walked rashly, the lightest consequence was being transmitted out of this space.
From the current position to the woods in front, there were at least three unavoidable dangers. He must "crack" them step by step. This dangerous vein had become an "element" that was integrated with the Rainbow Valley. It was extremely esoteric, and it was by no means comparable to a simple magic circle. Even if Chen Rui had the experience of entering here, he couldn't solve the secret in a short time. He could only use the stupidest method to solve it step by step. Fortunately, he had stored a lot of food in his storage warehouse, and he could also use the rule of time to study it. He could steadily and slowly find requiem fruit.
At the same time, in a strange house.
A graceful figure in a long dress was controlling a strange instrument two meters away in the air.
"This is the last piece of the highest quality Thunder Fire Crystal. After three hours of pressure, it will begin to soften. This time, I must grasp the heat and the best timing to extract the purest power of the compound elements." (Note to myself)
"Will you succeed?" (Doubt)
"Of course, don't you know who I am?" (Confidence)
"Thunder Fire Stone is the most unstable crystal. What if I fail again?" (Worry)
"If I fail again, I won't take a bath for a week, no, a month!" (Gnashing teeth)
"I will succeed!"
The white jade-like finger pointed at the mirror … It turned out that the conversation just now came from the same person.
At this time, the huge crystal ball on the side emitted a little red light, flashing.
"Wait! It seems that some little bug broke in? Strange, I don't seem to have done any blasting experiments these days … Forget it! Anyway, it will disappear soon. "
The little red dot on the crystal ball began to move.
"The little bug actually moved forward. There is a big gift waiting in front. Ten seconds countdown before it disappears. One, two, three …"
"Huh? Still not disappearing? Then I'll give you another minute. If it doesn't disappear in a minute, I'll cut my favorite nails! "
(The red dot still exists)
"The last time! If it's still there in ten minutes, then I won't eat lunch later! "
(After ten minutes, the red dot still hasn't disappeared.)
"How can I be so lucky? I'll give you one last chance! Anyway, there are still three hours to extract the element. I can have some fun first … Half an hour! I'll bet on my big meal tonight! "
(After half an hour, the red dot actually moved forward.)
"Is it the 'God Bless One Day' that can increase luck? Humph! Even if it's that magical blessing, it can't escape the Raging Flame Array in front. Poor little bug, it was just going to disappear, but now it's going to disappear forever! The last hour! I'll bet on my breakfast tomorrow! "
(In less than an hour, the red dot passed through the Raging Flame Array again and moved forward.)
"Woo woo … Damn bug, I'll give you one last chance …"
"…"
Chen Rui didn't know that he had successfully won against a certain lady several times. He finally reached the woods and began to search for the requiem fruit.
Requiem fruits generally grew close to water sources. When Chen Rui searched along a stream in the woods, he unlocked 2 more magic arrays, but he didn't find anything. Instead, the surrounding environment changed strangely, and he couldn't find the way. Chen Rui, who was lost, bumped around for a while like a headless fly. He found a spring in front of a deep cave.
This spring emitted a dense mist with a strange aura, giving Chen Rui a familiar feeling. The Fountain of Resurrection!
There is actually a Fountain of Resurrection in the Rainbow Valley. This is not the artificial Fountain of Life that I found in the Blue Lake Mountain Range. It should be a real natural Fountain of Resurrection.
Chen Rui's mind moved, and he searched near the cave. Finally, he saw a blue plant under a rock wall with four walnut-sized purple fruits hanging down. This shape was extremely consistent with requiem fruit!
Not only that, but there was also a complicated magic array in front which seemed to play a role in maintaining growth and protection. Chen Rui was studying this magic array when there was a muffled sound in the distance. It seemed that something exploded.
Chen Rui was taken aback. At this moment, there was a strange distortion in the space, and there was already one more figure.
"Damn it!"
It was a female voice. Her tone seemed to be gnashing her teeth as if she had some deep hatred.
"Not only did you ruin my most important experiment, I couldn't take a bath for a month, and you even shamelessly took away my food for three days! It's unforgivable! "
This was a slender young woman wearing a long dress. Her figure was curvaceous. Although it was not comparable to Isabella's "lethal weapon", it looked plump and well-proportioned. Her long purple hair was casually tied into a bun. Her facial features were delicate and exquisite. She also wore a pair of glasses, brimming with intellectuality and amazing beauty.
However, this intellectual beauty's face was filled with bitter hatred and anger. The strange thing was that the beauty just casually stepped into the center of the magic array. The magic array that should have been fully activated seemed to be as docile as a kitten. There was no sign of activation at all. Chen Rui could be sure that if he stepped in like this, he would definitely be smashed into pieces.
Unless this magic array has some kind of strange ability of "intelligent identification". In other words, when it was set up, it has been given some kind of highest law of "exception". This "exception" is the beauty in front of me.
What surprised Chen Rui even more was that she angrily accused him. Ruined the experiment? Made this lady unable to take a bath? And took away her … rations for 3 days?
What does this have to do with me? Chen Rui felt inexplicable. It was clearly the first time they met!
This innocent guy didn't know that he had become the object of the "bet". Not only did he "win" 3 days of food and drinks, but he also caused the important experiment to fail completely when the lady was distracted.
At this moment, the [Analytical Eyes] of the Super System showed the information of this beauty.
Race: Dragons (Fairy Dragon).
Comprehensive Strength Assessment: Unable to judge.
Fairy … Fairy Dragon? Chen Rui suddenly shuddered. Even when he saw the crystal dragon Jacob in the Crystal Valley, he was not so shocked.
How many fairy dragons are there in the Demon Realm?
Could it be …
Chen Rui's heart began to beat violently.
As soon as he was about to speak, he saw the silver light flashing all over the sky. Before he could react, he fell to the ground with strong silver electric sparks all over his body. He felt that his body was quickly eroded by a strange elemental power. This elemental power was not a pure wind element, but it was a mixture of wind, fire, and dark elements. It spread quickly in his body like a spider web, instantly destroying his resistance. He could hardly move.
Compound magic! Moreover, it was a compound of 3 elements. It was instantaneous without any preparation. This had almost exceeded the cognitive field of magic cultivators!
The compound of 3 elements was by no means a simple effect of 3 times superposition. Although Chen Rui had the characteristics of anti-magic and [Damage Absorption] which could greatly reduce the damage and effectiveness of magic, he still couldn't resist this terrifying compound magic of 3 elements. He quickly launched teleportation to distance himself. He struggled and shouted, "Wait a minute, listen to me first …"
