By saving the chicks and communicating with < Analytical Eyes >, Chen Rui successfully gained the favor of this group of blast birds.
Since blast birds appeared, Mountain Seckred should be nearby. The intelligence of blast birds was not high, and the information they could provide was limited.
In the communication, Chen Rui learned that there was a strange "mountain peak" here. Every time it was time to breed, many blast birds would fly out of the "mountain peak" to this place. The temperature and poisonous plants here were quite conducive to the reproduction of blast birds, and there were not many natural enemies. Today's black eagle was an accident because the number of blast birds in this group was relatively small. Generally speaking, even the black eagle did not dare to disturb a large group.
After breeding to a certain number, the blast birds would fly to the "mountain peak" again, but it was easy to come out, but it was much more difficult to enter. They could only enter again by chance, so there were flocks of blast birds shuttling back and forth all day long in that place.
In fact, there were more powerful natural enemies in the "mountain peak", and the degree of danger was much greater, but their instincts told the blast birds that there was a power in the "mountain peak" that could make them evolve more powerful, so they still insisted on entering it. After entering, due to being preyed on by stronger demonic beasts, their numbers would be greatly reduced. Then, they would fly out to breed, and then enter again. This repeated cycle formed a strange migration and food chain relationship.
Under the guidance of the blast birds, Chen Rui found the location of the "mountain peak". It was a towering mountain surrounded by clouds. Flocks of blast birds could be seen shuttling in the air as if they wanted to get into an invisible entrance.
With so many blast birds, even those demonic beasts such as black eagles did not dare to approach. From a distance, the dense flock of blast birds was like a dark cloud surrounding the mountain peak. It was a spectacular sight.
That's not right? Why doesn't it look like it at all? But from the appearance, the color and shape of the mountain peak are completely different. Chen Rui showed a puzzled expression, and his eyes fell on the blast birds that were flying in the air.
These blast birds fly far higher than the top of the mountain, and they are even higher than the height of ordinary birds. Could it be that the mountain under my feet is not Mountain Seckred, but it is … in the air?
With a thought, Chen Rui's body gradually flew up. The powerful aura he emitted and some "harmonious" signals released by the blast bird around him prevented him from being attacked by the "dark cloud". Soon, he flew to the top of the mountain.
Chen Rui didn't stop. He kept flying upwards, but it was empty. There was nothing. Looking down, he could only see mountains of clouds and a sea of fog. However, the higher he went, the stronger the feeling in his heart became. It was just like the first time he went outside the Rainbow Valley.
At that time, he didn't understand ancient runes, and his magic circle and Dragon Inscription were not as accomplished as they were now. However, now that Chen Rui's magic circle had reached almost the highest level in the Demon Realm, and he had mastered the basic knowledge of ancient runes, second only to the fairy dragon Rolla, he still had the same hazy and even ignorant feeling in the face of this empty sky.
It was like a primary school student with excellent math scores suddenly came to the world of advanced mathematics before entering junior high school.
Chen Rui faintly "smelled" a trace of ancient runes. The more so, the more surprised he was. He suddenly thought of an ancient saying, there is always someone better than you.
In terms of power, because there were many powerhouses, Chen Rui had always set a low position for himself. He also set one goal after another for himself to surpass as a motivation to move forward and become stronger. From Arux at the beginning to Gustav now, he was able to soar his power rapidly in such a short period of time. It was not only because of the help of the Super System, but also his own understanding and opportunities. More importantly, it was the heart of a powerhouse that constantly made progress and surpassed himself.
However, what about the rest of the fields?
The trio-specialized genius mechanic master, the magic circle genius, the ancient runes genius, the economic genius, the planning genius, the master of black potions, the artifact maker … In these fields, there were indeed very few people who could compete with him. This also made Chen Rui have a complacent mentality unconsciously.
This complacency was not just confidence, but more of pride. In many cases, "complacency" and "stagnation" were equated.
Chen Rui suddenly looked back now and realized that he had become so complacent once upon a time. The trio-specialized master and the magic circle genius mostly relied on the [Deep Analysis] function of the Super System; the black potions and artifacts were simply the products of the Super System; the economic and planning aspects were basically plagiarized from the previous life's experience. To put it bluntly, Chen Rui was just a lucky and slightly clever transmigrator. What if he left the Super System?
In fact, even with the assistance of the Super System, he still encountered the situation he was in today.
As soon as he thought of this, Chen Rui suddenly had a feeling of sweating, but he also had a feeling of sudden enlightenment. Yes, I can only further improve if I can clearly recognize myself. Know yourself and know your enemy to win a hundred battles. First of all, I must "know myself".
In just a short thought, Chen Rui seemed to have experienced the awakening after thousands of years of thinking. His state of mind correspondingly underwent some subtle changes. Although his strength did not increase significantly, he felt that the road in front of him was wider and clearer. Strength could be continuously increased by hard work, but this kind of improvement of the state of mind mainly relied on the word "enlightenment". It required more opportunities which could only be encountered but not sought.
Chen Rui's state of mind was refined, and he became calm. He began to use the knowledge he had learned to try to test and amplify the "feeling" of the ancient runes.
After he completely calmed down, the feeling became stronger and stronger. The stronger it was, the more he could feel the mystery in it. Originally, with Chen Rui's current ability, he couldn't crack and enter like he did with the Rainbow Valley. However, due to the entry and exit of the blast birds, it left a kind of "flaw" that might be deliberately revealed to maintain a certain biological chain. Therefore, the original unconstrained "entrance" became faintly traceable.
However, it was still impossible to unravel this "flaw" and enter it for a while.
With a sudden inspiration, Chen Rui summoned the blast birds that were close to him. He simulated the method of using the flamingo bird as the "first person" to test, and he finally made a breakthrough.
If he was an ordinary Demon Emperor, he would probably feel strenuous to continue to float in the air like this, but Chen Rui's [Flight] skill was by no means comparable to ordinary Demon Emperor powerhouses. After repeated experiments, Chen Rui finally felt dizzy. The transparent "air" in front of him suddenly changed into another completely different scene.
Although he was mentally prepared, this feeling of "jumping out" still caused a strong visual impact. It was not only abrupt, but also because of the mysterious power.
A white mountain seemed to be no different from the rest of the mountains. However, this mountain was actually floating in the air.
Chen Rui's first impression was not that it looked familiar, but that kind of aura, the ancient and desolate aura. This kind of aura could not be felt in the small world on the 4th floor of the Book Collection Hall. Then, the second feeling was the familiarity. Mountain Seckred!
Mountain Seckred, which is called the Sacred Mountain in the information on the 4th floor of the hall, is actually such a mysterious mountain floating in mid-air!
The blast bird beside Chen Rui chirped happily when it saw Mountain Seckred. It flapped its wings and flew forward. Soon, it disappeared into the dense woods.
Chen Rui flew toward this white floating mountain. As soon as he landed, a strange feeling arose in his mind. No matter where he was, no matter what he disguised himself as, he was an "external element" of the entire mountain. His every move seemed extremely dazzling. If there was someone in the mountain, he could be found effortlessly.
This was somewhat similar to the feeling in Teris' mansion, but Teris relied on wisdom and tricks, while here was the real mysterious runes and laws.
The scope of this mountain was far greater than the area seen on the outside. Chen Rui walked for a long time, but he was still only at the foot of the mountain. Chen Rui had a hunch that its real scope exceeded the entire huge Saxphil Mountain Range! It was like a "world".
Territory! The entire Mountain Seckred was a territory that was fused with ancient runes!
To be able to cover such a huge mountain range with territory, and there was that strange feeling, it was no longer the ability of a Demon Overlord-level powerhouse.
Could this be another ruin left by a Demi-God powerhouse?
In the information he had, he only knew that there was Fertile Yuan Soil here, but he didn't know the specific location. At present, he could only explore step by step.
After walking for a long time, Chen Rui finally found a white staircase leading all the way to the front. This staircase was clean and tidy without even moss. He didn't know if it was because someone often used it or the magical effect of the territory.
Chen Rui walked up the stairs. As he walked, he suddenly stopped.
In the sky, a ghost-like black shadow swooped down.
Race: Gargoyle.
Comprehensive Strength Assessment: C
Strength: C, Physique: C-, Spirit: E, Speed: C.
Attribute: Dark attribute.
The information immediately appeared in Chen Rui's mind. Gargoyle-Ancient alchemy product with the ability to fly. Some mutants have independent thinking, strong defense, immunity to psychic magic, and magic damage is halved.
To be precise, the gargoyle was a half-" mechanical "half-creature which was a bit similar to the crystal man. It completely ignored the Demon Emperor-level threatening breath exuding from Chen Rui, and it still swooped down.
It was just a Demon King-level gargoyle. Chen Rui raised his hand in the air, and the gargoyle was controlled by a force from 3 meters away. This gargoyle had the same appearance as the information on the 4th floor. It was black all over with a beast head and a human body. Its eyes were glowing red, and its hands and feet had sharp claws. It had a pair of bat wings on its back. Its entire body seemed to be made of some kind of stone.
Although the gargoyle was controlled, it still fiercely waved its claws in this direction as if it would not stop until it died.
Chen Rui suddenly frowned. He saw a large number of dark shadows in the air, forming a huge circle that surrounded his location. The number of shadows was still increasing.
Looking at the current number of shadows, there were tens of thousands. If they were all Demon King-level or even higher, even if Chen Rui was a Demon Emperor, he would definitely be exhausted to death if he fought them head-on. He suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
"Those who enter the sacred mountain without permission, die."
This was a cold female voice. The voice was actually a bit familiar, but the tone was full of unfamiliar coldness and murderous intentions.
