This Text Adventure Game is definitely poisonous-Chapter 1266 - 564 Chameleon

"No need to worry about that, Mirage Tapirs are too large in size, they simply cannot pass through the teleportation node completely, they will get stuck on the other side, at most sticking a nose through."

This was the Lamp God’s response after Mu You consulted him.

"Of course, the effects of Mirage Energy cannot be avoided. Mirage Tapirs are playful creatures; upon discovering a new place, they will linger for a while until they lose interest before leaving. During this period, they will fill the area they wish to explore with Mirage Energy, and anything that happens within the scope of its coverage cannot escape its perception."

"However extensive the impact of Mirage Energy might be, it’s not possible for it to spread across the entire Star Spirit World, at most it could cover a third of the Star Spirit World, and certainly, it wouldn’t affect your Forgotten Land." The Lamp God explained while yawning, obviously not too concerned.

"Only able to stick its nose through, huh..."

Mu You pondered, with this, the impact on humans indeed wouldn’t be significant – Mirage Energy can’t reach Earth anyway, and Sky City can move at any time, it’s just a matter of flying away from Mirage Energy, so at most it’s just that the area players can set foot in within the Star Spirit World would slightly decrease.

However, it’s quite a tough situation for the native inhabitants of the Star Spirit World, especially for those races whose settlements happen to be within the range of Mirage Energy coverage. They either have to relocate their entire clan or would have to live in Mirage Energy for an extended period of time.

Mu You had experienced being in Mirage Energy himself; it certainly wasn’t anything pleasant; apart from falling asleep every few hours, there were issues with being unable to use items, and the threat of being hunted by Mirage Creatures.

More importantly, each Calamity Season lasts a whopping 5000 years, and the Mirage Energy Season has only just begun. If luck is not on their side, the Mirage Tapirs could very well reside in the Star Spirit World for over an epoch...

Even though the creatures of Star Spirit World have resurrective power, they can’t withstand such continuous torment. For sentient species that have a choice, migration is almost an inevitable option.

If one-third of the species in the Star Spirit World begins migrating, the population density of the remaining areas will surge dramatically, and the ensuing turmoil triggered by survival and resource disputes will undoubtedly be significant.

Mu You glanced at the City Lord’s group chat, where discussions about Mirage Energy were still ongoing.

"Have all the players evacuated from the Real World?"

"The information has been made public, and they are in the process of retreating."

"Those who haven’t evacuated... are probably mostly dead, huh..."

Jiu You left that remark.

Everyone deeply agreed; a few days ago, several City Lords had joint hands to clear new areas, and they all ended up wipe out, let alone these ordinary players.

"Have those Mirage Shrimp and Mirage Crab soldiers discovered the entrance to the Star Spirit World yet?"

"Not yet, but given the current trend, it’s only a matter of time..."

Mirage Energy is something that permeates every corner, and even though the exit of the Brave Tower is imperceptible compared to the Titan World, like an ant’s hole, it’s impossible to be missed.

And since Mirage Tapirs can perceive what’s inside Mirage Energy, once Mirage Energy spreads over the exit, it’s almost certain to draw the attention of the Mirage Tapirs.

In fact, the infiltration of Mirage Energy was faster than imagined.

By noon that day, players who were attempting the Brave Tower had discovered several top layers enveloped in Mirage Energy, making the challenge exceptionally difficult.

Mu You urgently evacuated all players from the tower and then shut down the Brave Tower.

But even so, the spread of Mirage Energy could not be stopped.

Within just an hour, the entire Brave Tower was wrapped in Mirage Energy, losing its function. The Mirage Energy even surged out from the windows and crevices of the high tower, spilling into the Brave Village and the surrounding areas.

Mirage Tapirs couldn’t pass through the teleportation point and temporarily cannot enter the Star Spirit World, but those Mirage Shrimp and Mirage Crab soldiers can.

Around four o’clock in the afternoon that day, several players reported sightings of Mirage Crabs and Mirage Shrimp near the Brave Village.

Fortunately, these Mirage Shrimp and Mirage Crab soldiers couldn’t stray from the range of Mirage Energy. As long as the players ensured they stayed outside the range of Mirage Energy, these soldiers posed no threat to them.

Mu You took out a map of the Star Spirit World to study.

The Brave Tower’s location lies within White Maple City in the southern part of the Star Spirit World. White Maple City is situated on the buffer zone between the Human Race and Sprite forces. Therefore, after Mirage Energy leaked from the Brave Tower, the first to be affected would be the neighboring Tasino Empire and the Sunlight Elves.

The Human Race empire was relatively okay, as their capital was far away and had a vast plain to retreat to.

The Sprites were less fortunate. The capital of Sunlight Elves, Phoenix City, is almost adjacent to White Maple City. Moreover, Phoenix City harbors many irreplaceable treasures such as the Phoenix Perching Tree, the mother tree of phoenixes. If the Sprites withdraw, it’s akin to abandoning the phoenix race that has co-existed with them.

Based on Mu You’s understanding of these Sunlight Elves, it’s unlikely they would migrate; they would probably choose to stay behind to protect the Phoenix Perching Tree, confronting the invading Mirage Creatures.

Mu You spared a second of silence for these Sprites before continuing to look further out.

Besides the Sunlight Elves and the Tasino Empire, expanding another ring outward incorporated another familiar name into the scope – the Fatima Empire.

Ah, that’s the country where the Secret Art Society is based.

"What an opportunity!" exclaimed the Watchman, who was gaming with Ling Long at the moment, suddenly slapping his thigh.

"If enveloped by Mirage Energy, items cannot be used, so wouldn’t those fabricated Secret Art Crystals also fail? If so, when the Mirage Energy approaches, isn’t it the perfect time to strike?" The Watchman imagined excitedly.
