Rainbow Valley

This **Rainbow Valley** is an independent space composed of Dragon Inscriptions and some kind of magic circles.

Tata said, "In the area under the jurisdiction of the Fallen Angel Empire, there is a Rainbow Valley. Every time a rainbow appears there, the valley will appear. When the rainbow disappears, the valley will disappear again. Some people have seen requiem fruit growing there, but the valley disappears quickly, and the person who intruded inexplicably appeared tens of kilometers away. There isn't a fixed time the Rainbow Valley appears. Sometimes it's months; sometimes years; sometimes a few centuries."

Here, Chen Rui meets Zola.

## External appearance

"Barren hills and turbulent rivers".

It was spacious, dangerous, and barren. Besides the few seven-colored flowers that he occasionally saw, which could barely be the highlight, nothing valuable could be found at all.

However, the origin of Rainbow Valley was not because of its beautiful scenery. It was 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 for the requiem fruit that could repair the elemental heart, but there was no fixed time for the appearance of this rainbow. The interval might be months, years or days. When there was no rainbow, there would be no trace of that mysterious valley.

When Chen Rui came, he did not see the rainbow. Naturally, he did not see the legendary Rainbow Valley. He was not the first person to explore on a normal day, but he was the only one here now because for thousands of years, none of the people who came to explore got anything. So as time passed, no one was willing to waste their time.

## Reappearance

Yini mentions that the rainbow of Rainbow Valley had reappeared.

Chen then remembered Master Xingxing once said that there was a Rainbow Valley under the jurisdiction of the Fallen Angel Capital. Every time a rainbow appeared there, the valley would appear. When the rainbow disappeared, the valley would disappear again. Someone had strayed into the valley and found a growing requiem fruit there, but he was transported dozens of kilometers away before he could pick it.

The appearance of the Rainbow Valley had no fixed time. Sometimes it was a few months, sometimes several years, and sometimes hundreds of years. Hearing that Isabella said that the Rainbow Valley had recently shown signs of rainbows, Chen Rui, who had originally wanted to go there, became more determined.

Krobelus seemed to recall something and frowned, "I once passed by the Rainbow Valley and felt an unusually dangerous breath there. Yini, you shouldn't go to that place."

Chen Rui was secretly surprised. Even a powerhouse like Krobelus felt that it is dangerous. It seems that the Rainbow Valley is not simple, but in order to get the requiem fruit, this trip is imperative. However, if I am going to the Rainbow Valley, I must go alone. It is impossible to bring Isabella or Krobelus along.

### Magic circle theory

Chen Rui had obtained the true inheritance of Paglio's Dragon Inscription, and he gained a lot of magic circle knowledge from the Mechanic Association, especially from the mysterious magic circle of the ancient magic tower. It was not limited to the category of mechanics. The rainbow was probably the trigger of a certain magic circle, or its appearance could be caused by a certain key point being triggered. Regardless of whether the trigger existed, Rainbow Valley must be truly existing. However, it was usually concealed. He just could not find the entrance to the teleportation or space.

As someone who was proficient in magic circles (almost considered so), Chen Rui had a faint feeling that it was too "reasonable" for him to get nothing in the valley as if everything was produced under the guidance of environment and conditions. This showed some artificial traces. If it was an ordinary adventurer or magic circle researcher, he wouldn't feel this way.

Of course, it could also be an illusion.

If this feeling was true, then the plants and trees that he saw now may even be part of the concealed Rainbow Valley. In other words, this "magic circle" had been perfectly integrated into nature with almost no flaws.

If it was artificially set by a person, 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 shadows of the 2 moons, the wind direction, and the location of the hills.

### Points, veins, space portals

After spending another day, he entered the refinery and connected to the training ground 100 times the time rule. This time, he did not train or craft

equipment, but he carefully sorted out the Dragon Inscription, magic circle knowledge, Mechanical Association notes and information in his mind. He also did some corresponding experiments and calculations in the refinery.

When Chen Rui came out from the refinery, his vision of the valley changed again. After applying the results of his calculations to reality, he searched all the way and finally found a "point" in a rotten waterhole.

This point could not trigger the emergence of the Rainbow Valley. Perhaps it was just an auxiliary node of the mysterious space that was not very useful. For Chen Rui, it was a major breakthrough which fully proved the feasibility of his assumption.

In the next few days, Chen Rui devoted himself to research and calculation and found more points one after another. Some were in caves while some were buried deep under the roots of big trees...

After many deductions using the time rule in the refinery, these "points" were finally connected into veins. After trying to activate the entire "plane" and failed countless times, he finally successfully opened an oval channel which was like a door.

This channel was not like a teleportation point. Instead, it was an entrance to some kind of space. Unknown space was a very dangerous concept as there was a danger of being caught in space turbulence at any time. After the entrance was opened, it immediately began to shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye. In a blink of an eye, it was only the size of the water tank mouth.

### Down the rabbithole

This kind of channel was a temporary "variable" with considerable randomness. It would take a lot of effort to deduce next time. Chen Rui gritted his teeth and shook his figure before rushing in.

As soon as he rushed into the space channel, he felt that his body and soul had encountered an irresistible enormous force. He couldn't see anything in the dizziness. He only felt that the world was spinning and twisting. This twisting feeling continued for nearly half an hour before it gradually disappeared.

Chen Rui who recovered felt his internal organs were tossing. He almost vomited. After he settled down, he was immediately stunned by the sight in front of him.

## Internal appearance

Looking around, there was greenery everywhere. Clear water was visible from the mountain stream. The air was full of the freshness and fragrance of plants. The forest in front was filled with a thin fog, while the song of birds chirping could be heard from time to time.

Chen Rui suddenly thought of a sentence, "The clouds are bluish like it was about to rain, and fog arises from the water". It was completely different from the previous look of badland. The beauty in front of him was like a fairyland.

This should be the real Rainbow Valley!

However, this "fairyland" was not simple. It could be described as skating on thin ice. Chen Rui could feel that there were irregular dangers everywhere. The "veins network" was dozens of times more complicated than the outside. If one walked rashly, the lightest consequence was to be teleported out of this space.

From his current position to the forest in front, there were at least 3 unavoidable dangers. He must "crack" them step by step. This dangerous vein network had integrated with Rainbow Valley to become an element. It was very profound and by no means comparable to a simple magic circle. Even if Chen Rui had the experience of entering this place, he couldn't resolve the secrets in it within a short time. He could only use the most silly method to solve it one step at a time. Fortunately, he stored a large amount of food in his storage warehouse. He could also use the time rule to conduct research and slowly find the requiem fruit steadily.

## Requiem fruit

He finally reached the woods and began to search for the whereabouts of the requiem fruit.

The requiem fruit generally grew closer to the water source. When Chen Rui searched forward along a stream in the woods, he unlocked 2 magic circles, but he found nothing. On the contrary, the surrounding environment had undergone a strange change. There was no way out. Chen Rui, who was lost, walked around aimlessly. He found another spring in front of a deep cave.

This spring exuded mist while revealing a strange breath, giving Chen Rui a familiar feeling. Fountain of Resurrection!

Rainbow Valley actually has a Fountain of Resurrection. This is not like the artificial Fountain of Vitality in the Blue Lake Mountain Range that I faked. It should be a real natural Fountain of Resurrection.

Chen Rui's mind shifted as he searched around the cave. He finally saw a blue plant under a rock wall with 4 walnut-sized purple fruits hanging down. This shape matched the requiem fruit perfectly!

Not only that, there was also a complex magic circle in front. It seemed to be able to maintain growth and protection. While Chen Rui was studying this magic circle, there was a muffled sound in the distance. It sounded like something burst.
