Chapter 849: Illusion

Above a mist-filled underground crack in the Valley of Evil Spirits, Li Muran and the shopkeeper floated quietly in the mist, trying their best to use their divine thoughts to probe the situation in the crack below.

"This is where the Dream Devouring Beast is located?" The shopkeeper frowned: "The clouds and mist here are very special, making it difficult for the old man's Meizu Divine Thoughts to go deeper, I wonder if Li Daoyou's Divine Thoughts can travel unimpeded?"

Li Muran shook his head: "The divine thoughts below are also difficult and far. This is supposed to be the rumored miasma. Miasma is also a relatively common natural celestial phenomenon, and it is inherently strong in isolating the divine thoughts, and it is difficult for the divine thoughts to penetrate in the miasma, but the miasma can also protect the divine thoughts from spreading out. There are miasma in many places in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, especially this kind of deep and narrow damp canyon that does not see the light of day all year round. ”

"The so-called Dream Eater has set up its nest here, most likely because it likes the environment. Li Muran sighed slightly and said, "However, the environment here has no advantage for the Meizu monks at all. From this point of view, the Dream Swallowing Beast has nothing to do with Meizu. ”

Speaking of this, Li Muran couldn't help but sigh lightly. Although the origin of the Dream Eater had not yet been determined, he could basically deduce that this was not the Meizu clue they were looking for.

The shopkeeper nodded: "The possibility of being related to Meizu is indeed very small. However, the old man came to Fengyun Continent to look for clues related to Meizu, which was originally looking for a needle in a haystack, and no matter how slim the chance, he would die if he had to explore it. ”

After that, the shopkeeper was the first to disappear into the miasma, and Li Muran followed closely behind.

According to the information obtained by Li Muran's search for the gods, there is a dream swallowing beast here, and it is quite dangerous for the monks of the Yuan God Period. Therefore, both of them were cautious, the shopkeeper had turned the power of the phantom into a golden sword in his hand, and Li Muran secretly held several talismans in his hand.

The further down you go, the denser the miasma becomes, the stronger the isolation from the mystery, and the tighter the obstruction of the view. In other words, the scope of what the two of them can probe is getting smaller and smaller.

The two didn't dare to be careless, and they slowly fell almost one foot at a time, and it took a long time to finally reach the ground.

The two of them stepped on the wet mud ground, surrounded by a vast white miasma, which allowed them to barely see vague scenes within twenty or thirty zhang, and as for the divine thoughts, they could only reach such a long distance.

"Be careful!" Li Muran reminded, with such a small investigation range, it would be very dangerous if the enemy suddenly attacked.

Li Muran's eyes flashed with purple light, and on his back, a pair of gorgeous phantom light wings immediately appeared on his back, which was the Sky Devouring Charm Divine Power, in case of danger, he could immediately activate the Sky Devouring Charm to teleport and escape. At the same time, this trick can also be used to rescue the shopkeeper.

The two of them searched carefully underground, the scope of this underground is not large, only more than ten miles wide, but because of the miasma, the search is very slow.

However, the two of them did not encounter any danger, and there were no terrible beasts and evil spirits to sneak attack them, and half an hour later, Li Muran was the first to discover that there was a natural stone cave the size of a zhang on the stone wall in a corner.

The inside of the cave is pitch black and unfathomable. Li Muran took out a moonstone the size of a fist, but it could only illuminate a radius of more than ten zhang, and he couldn't see the end of the stone cave.

"This stone cave is strange!" Li Muran pointed to some traces on the four walls of the stone cave and said, "There are obviously traces of monks coming here, maybe the Dream Devouring Beast is among them!"

The two of them leaned more cautiously into the depths of the cavern, and the surrounding miasma was always very dense.

I don't know how far I walked, but suddenly my eyes opened up, and the two of them came to a larger stone cave.

The two immediately discovered that there was a hazy white light cluster in the stone cave, suspended in the stone cave, which seemed to be near and far, as if it could be touched, and as if it was far away in the sky.

The shopkeeper was about to take a closer look, Li Muran suddenly pointed to a certain place and exclaimed: "Look!"

The shopkeeper followed Li Muran's gesture and looked, only to see that in the thick fog, there was a faint figure of a monk, but he couldn't detect any breath!

"Who is Daoyou?" the shopkeeper was shocked and hurriedly shouted and asked.

The other party did not respond at all, the shopkeeper and Li Muran glanced at each other, exchanged a look, and then slowly leaned towards each other left and right.

"It's a dead man!" muttered the shopkeeper. When he got closer, he found that although this person's body was intact, he had no breath, and although his eyes were open, he was sluggish, like a walking corpse.

This situation is not unfamiliar to the shopkeeper, and the Terran monk who was sucked dry of his divine thoughts by the Meizu monk and died is like this.

"His divine thoughts have been swallowed, and there is indeed a Dream Eater here!" said the shopkeeper, "I just don't know if this Dream Swallower has anything to do with Meizu." ”

"It's not just him, there are many!" Li Muran frowned and said in a solemn tone. With a wave of his robe, an invisible wind swept up, blowing away a little of the dense miasma around him.

Although the miasma quickly gathered again, after a moment, the shopkeeper immediately discovered that there were still two or three such dumbfounded monks in the cave, and in addition, there were more than a dozen skeletons with white bones.

The shopkeeper's face changed drastically, and he couldn't help but take a step back.

"What's the matter? what is it that has harmed these monks? is it the so-called Dream Eater?" the shopkeeper wondered.

Li Muran and the shopkeeper leaned their backs against each other, cautiously guarding the surroundings, the terrifying Dream Eater Beast, not knowing where it would suddenly appear to attack them.

If you are an ordinary monk, you will consciously withdraw from this place when you see this scene, and you will not dare to stay. However, Li Muran and the shopkeeper had the intention to find out the details of the Dream Eater, so although they knew that it was dangerous, they did not flee.

After waiting for a long time, there was still no movement, and the Dream Eater didn't seem to have any intention of attacking them.

"Strange!" the shopkeeper couldn't help but say curiously, "There doesn't seem to be any Dream Eater here. This cave is not big, I have explored all the places, and there is no other entrance, except for this dense miasma, it is very common. If there is a hidden mystery, only the white light floating in the air is a little strange. ”

As the shopkeeper spoke, he couldn't help but look at the white light curiously.

The white light is hazy and difficult to capture, and at first glance, I can't get the essentials, so the shopkeeper has to look closely.

"Can't see it!" Li Muran suddenly exclaimed, he suddenly found that whether it was those skeletons, or the monks standing and sitting motionless, they all had a common feature, that is, the direction their faces were facing, which happened to be facing the white light!

In other words, after they all looked at the white light, they became motionless, and then they were sucked dry!

It's a pity that Li Muran found out too late! Because at this time, the shopkeeper next to him was also motionless looking at the white light, and his eyes were distracted!

"Oops!" Li Muran was shocked, "I'm afraid this is the so-called illusion!"

The so-called illusion realm is an unreal illusory space laid by high-level immortal cultivators with powerful divine thoughts. This illusory space can absorb and accommodate the divine thoughts of immortal cultivators, allowing immortal cultivators to be in it, as if they have arrived in an independent and closed world.

If the mind is completely immersed in the illusion, you will think that you are in a real world, and if you can't find a way to leave the illusion, your body will gradually die. And when the power of the divine thoughts in the illusion is exhausted, the monk will also be completely wiped out.

"Shopkeeper, come back quickly!" Li Muran was in a hurry, he shook the shopkeeper's body violently, and injected a little divine thought into the shopkeeper's body, intending to wake it up, but the shopkeeper was still at a loss and did not respond at all.

Li Muran's heart sank, for the monks whose divine thoughts had entered the illusion, they couldn't sense any information from the outside world at all, even if Li Muran shouted in the shopkeeper's ear, and even if an enemy destroyed the shopkeeper's body, he couldn't recall the shopkeeper's divine thoughts from the illusion.

The physical body of a high-level immortal cultivator is quite powerful, and it can basically be maintained for decades without the blessing of divine thoughts. However, if the divine mind is away for too long, the primordial spirit and mana in the body will be damaged, which is not conducive to the future cultivation of the immortal cultivator.

"You must recall the shopkeeper's divine thoughts!" Li Muran said secretly in his heart.

He knew that the mystery must be on that special white light, but he didn't dare to take a closer look at the white light.

"What should I do?" Li Muran was very anxious in his heart, "I obviously know that there is something wrong with that white light, but I don't dare to investigate it carefully! Whether it is to investigate with divine thoughts or to see with the naked eye, there is a great possibility that he will be involved in the illusion!"

The shopkeeper was swept into the illusion just by staring at it, and most of the other monks who had fallen here were the same!

"Ordinary eyes can't resist the erosion of illusions, but I have a third divine eye, so I may not be afraid of that white light!" Li Muran's heart moved.

Although there is a certain risk in doing so, in order to rescue the shopkeeper, Li Muran also has to give it a try.

His eyes were slightly closed, and the third eye at the center of his eyebrows opened, revealing a dark pupil.

Suddenly, there was darkness in the cave, as if every light was absorbed by the dark pupil. Even the hazy white light was dim.

It was at this moment that Li Muran vaguely saw with his third divine eye that in the white light, it turned out to be a white transparent silkworm-like insect.

"Dream Eater!" Li Muran's heart froze, and the third god's eyes immediately closed.

Li Muran didn't open his eyes, nor did he use his mind to probe the dream eater, his mind was recalling that he had seen a record of the dream eater in some high-level insect breeding classics.

Dream eaters are adept at devouring and feeding on divine thoughts. Some powerful mutant dream-eating insects can also create illusions, controlling the divine thoughts of immortal cultivators in the illusion for themselves to enjoy slowly.

Now, Li Muran finally fully understood that the so-called Dream Eater was a high-level Dream Eater. This dream-eating worm has been lurking here for an unknown number of years, and it has been creating this illusion, and if the unlucky monk breaks into this place, the divine mind is accidentally sucked into the illusion, and the result is that it will become a white skeleton in the cave.
