Chapter 13: Survival in the Illusion
I don't know how long it took, I woke up groggily, slowly opened my eyes, the first rays of the morning sun shone on my face, and I instantly felt energetic and refreshed.
I quickly got up, and strangely, not only was my body intact, but my vitality and body had become more sound, and my spirit had also returned to its best condition.
What's going on?
What about the beast that confronted me? I looked around and saw nothing.
"Yijiang!" Qian Fanyi suddenly appeared behind him.
I looked back and said, "I've been looking for you for a long time, where are you in the mountains?
Qianfan held out his right hand to me and motioned for me to be helped up.
"I've been looking for you all night, and my junior sister has been slightly injured and has been sent by me to the entrance of Dongzhi Mountain to be picked up by my junior brothers. ”
I gently placed my left hand on his palm and slowly stood up, "You, what did you go through last night?"
"It's strange in the mountains, but I heard some strange sounds. ”
I smiled, "It's the same situation. ”
"You can still laugh............ Qianfan showed an inexplicable doting.
"Have you ever seen a creature that looks like a white dog?"
"Not really. ”
"I was chased by a strange beast last night, and then I fell asleep, never thinking that the beast had completely restored my flower body and spirit with a mirror. ”
"What kind of beast?"
"The strangeness of this evil beast is difficult to describe, I guess it is probably the true beast of the East Mountain, and that mirror should be the Demon Mirror. ”
"It is rumored that the beast listens to all things and understands human speech, where is it now?"
"I didn't see it as soon as I woke up, maybe it was in the cave ahead, where it was yesterday. ”
"Let's go and see now. ”
"Hmm. ”
When we walked to yesterday's waterfall, there was no trace of the cave.
"Is it a mistake, Yijiang?"
"No, it may be a trick. ”
"Let's take a look around. "Qianfanyi led the way in front.
At this time, it was dark, as if it was going to be dark.
"It was dawn, but now it seems to be nearly dusk?" I said thoughtfully.
"From early morning to dusk, it's only the time of a pillar of incense, no, we may have entered the illusion. Qianfan's tone was worried.
"Illusion? Could it be the illusion set up by the Beast? Since it saved me, it shows that there is no malice, then why did it trap us in the illusion?"
"It may be that we can get out of the illusion by ourselves, and the beast knows all things, presumably, already knows what we are coming for. "Qianfanyi stopped under a tree.
"How can a mere illusion stump you and me?"
"Not necessarily, if I'm not mistaken, this illusion is extraordinary, it should be the Demon Seven-Star Array set up by the Demon Mirror. Qianfanyi said with great certainty.
"I know a thing or two about the Demon Seven Star Array. "I suddenly remembered that this formation happened to be mentioned in the Demon Diagram I had seen before.
"Tell me about it. ”
"The Demon Seven Star Array is powerful, relying on the Demon Mirror to set up this array, the people trapped in it will see seven sunrises and sunsets in the array, and after the last sunset is over, if you haven't been able to find a way out, the demons, the primordial gods are disillusioned, and the gods will be trapped in it for seven hundred and forty-nine thousand years. ”
"This beast is intent on making things difficult for us. ”
"Don't worry, it's only been a sunrise and sunset, let's hurry up and find a way. "I'm calm.
"Then I will look around to see if there is anything abnormal, if I really can't get out, it's a big deal, I will stay here for 77,490,000 years. ”
"What do you think, I don't want to be stuck here. ”
I looked at yesterday's waterfall and felt something unusual, and then said to him, "Have you noticed that when the sun rose for the second time just now, the scenery on all sides changed, but the direction of this waterfall remained the same. ”
"Indeed, is it true that the secret is hidden in this waterfall?" said him, and stepped forward to examine it carefully.
"Is there anything unusual?" I asked anxiously.
"Didn't find it. ”
Looking around, at this time, it was the second sunset.
It was pitch black, so we had to sit under the tree and figure out how to find a way, and when the sun rose, we would look around for a flaw.
"In this illusion, the spell cannot be fully cast, and we can only get out of the illusion by outwitting us. I said with great concern.
"You, so scared to stay in this illusion. Qian Fanyi suddenly said coldly.
"No, I'm not afraid to stay here. It's just that after the seventh sunset, here, it will be dark, we will spend 490,000 years in the dark, I don't like the dark, my divine power is limited, and the magic lamp can no longer be used. ”
"Don't worry, we'll get out there without a hitch. Qian Fanyi patted me on the shoulder and comforted me.
We patiently watched the sunrise in the east, and despite its illusion, the sunrise was extraordinarily beautiful.
"I want to go to the entrance where I came in yesterday, when you sent your junior sister out yesterday, the illusion didn't exist. "I have doubts in my heart.
"I see. Qianfan looked suddenly enlightened.
"Know what?"
"Just now, the first time we came to the waterfall, it was at that time that we entered the illusion world. ”
"It seems that this is indeed the case, it is really unbelievable that people are so unknowingly led into an illusion, perhaps, the moment we enter the Dongzhi Mountain, the mana has been weakened. ”
"I'm afraid it's really intentional on the part of the Truth Beast. ”
I stood up and walked back and forth, "Maybe this is the condition for getting the Demon Mirror, that is, to get out of the illusion it has set." ”
"It's not impossible. ”
At this time, the third sunset was soon coming, and we still had no clue.
We felt the darkness and walked in the direction of yesterday's entrance, and I tugged at his sleeve, and in this illusion, there was no moon and no trace of night light.
Suddenly something stabbed me in the ankle and I had to stop.
"What's wrong with you, Yijiang?" asked Qianfanyi eagerly.
"I felt like I had been stabbed by something, and I felt numb in my ankle. ”
At this time, it is pitch black and nowhere to be seen, and if you want to check, you can't.
"We'll sit down and we'll be at sunrise until we've got our injuries. ”
"It turns out that in this illusion, I am also a god who can bleed and hurt. "I smelled a fishy smell of blood at my ankles.
"Everything will pass, and this is just a lost illusion. ”
I leaned lightly on Qianfanyi's shoulder, and at the moment, I just wanted to stay by his side quietly, because I felt an inexplicable sense of security.
The moment the sun came out, Qian Fanyi immediately leaned over to check on my injuries.
"The blood has dried up, how does it feel?" he looked at me with concern, and there was tenderness in his eyes that I had never seen before.
"It's still a little numb. "I looked down and saw that this was the first time I had seen myself bleed, no, this blood was not mine, it was in the body of a snow lotus.
"Look at the flowers and plants around you. Qianfan looked surprised.
"How so. "I saw that the flowers and plants stained with my blood quickly turned blood-red, one place, two places, and then a large area of green grass and trees, all of which turned the color of blood.
Although I was not scared of the bloody scene in front of me, it was still shocking.
