The black shadow did not appear again, and Xiao Chen and the others stopped.
"It never appeared again. Are we overthinking it?"
Xiao Chen frowned and looked around.
"Maybe."
Chifeng nodded, if he really targeted them, he shouldn't have not shown up for so long.
Unless this shadow is an excellent hunter and has enough patience to wait for them to reveal their flaws and kill them with one strike.
However, this is unlikely.
Before, Black Shadow had the opportunity to take action, but did not.
"Is it possible that you are overthinking and overthinking everything?"
Hua Youque asked.
"If it's not a hare, is it a mouse or something?"
"Who knows, let's continue looking for the spiritual roots of heaven and earth."
Xiao Chen shook his head, remained vigilant, and walked forward.
They came to Lingyun Cliff mainly to find the spiritual root of heaven and earth. As long as they found it, they would withdraw.
After another ten minutes, the three of them stopped again, almost wanting to give up.
"The bottom of this cliff is huge and seems to have no end... We have been walking for almost half an hour and we haven't reached the end yet."
Chi Feng sat on a big rock and said.
"This is only the left side, and the right side has not been visited... The key is that we don't know what the spiritual roots of heaven and earth look like. Everything looks like spiritual roots, and nothing looks like spiritual roots. How can we find it?"
"Yeah, it makes my eyes dry and painful..."
Hua Youque also nodded.
"Brother Xiao, how about we give up? Anyway, you have dug up a large area of 'Heaven and Earth Spiritual Roots', so it is not without harvest. Let's move to another place? Don't waste your time in this damn place."
"Don't mention it to me..."
Xiao Chen was not angry.
"If you don't mention it, we are still good friends... Besides, if you mention it, will your face look bright?"
"No."
Hua Youque shook his head.
Xiao Chen took out the animal skin map, looked at it carefully, and quickly frowned: "That's wrong."
"What's wrong?"
Hua Youque and Chi Feng also came over.
"Look, this area is Lingyun Cliff, and it doesn't occupy a large area."
Xiao Chen said seriously.
"But we've been walking for a long time, and we still haven't finished..."
When Chi Feng said this, his eyelids twitched.
"Illusion?"
"It's not necessarily an illusion, maybe it's a formation..."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"But the things we see are all different. Can the formation have this effect?"
Hua Youque said in a deep voice.
"space?"
The three of them looked at each other, unable to hide their surprise.
Is there still room under Lingyun Cliff?
Originally Dragon City is space, the secret realm is in Dragon City, and in the secret realm... there is still space?
Is this a space nesting doll?
Apart from space, they couldn't think of anything else at the moment.
Just like Hua Youque said, if it is a formation, it is unlikely that people will see different things.
Illusion array... Xiao Chen felt that he should be able to distinguish it.
Of course, this is just their guess and may not be accurate.
A person's cognition is limited and he will only make guesses based on his own cognition...
"Why isn't it marked on the map?"
Hua Youque asked.
"It's impossible to mark everything... Let's go back, let's see if we can go back."
Xiao Chen said, turned around and walked back.
"If we can't go back, it will be troublesome... We will get lost in space, which is the most dangerous thing."
Chifeng looked solemn.
"Maybe it's not that serious."
Xiao Chen shook his head, he still had the blood key... If it didn't work, he would try with the blood key.
The three of them walked back and were shocked to find...the scene had changed.
It was obviously a road we had walked just now, but it had become extremely unfamiliar.
"It's not like space. If it were space, it wouldn't be like this, right?"
"Illusion? But it's too real..."
Chifeng and Hua Youque said in surprise.
Whoosh!
Xiao Chen didn't say anything at all, and showed the Xuanyuan knife.
Although he didn't have a sense of crisis for the time being, it was obvious that something was not right about the situation at hand... No matter what it was, they had all been tricked.
"I'll go up and have a look."
After Xiao Chen finished speaking, he rose into the air and wanted to go to the top of the cliff.
They had come down from the top of the cliff before, so that place should be real.
But what surprised him was that there was an invisible barrier blocking him.
He looked around and saw that the trees and vines on the cliff were gone.
"Is it really an illusion?"
Xiao Chen frowned, slowly closed his eyes, and let out his consciousness.
Although the range is limited, if there is any abnormality under the barrier, he can still find it.
Soon, he sensed something.
"I can defeat all laws with one force... No matter how many tricks you use, I will defeat them with my own strength."
Xiao Chen closed his eyes and muttered to himself.
The next second, he held the knife with both hands and slashed out with a sharp stroke.
The bright golden light shines like a golden sun.
Click...
There seemed to be a breaking sound, the stars were moving, and the color of the sky and the earth was changing.
When Xiao Chen landed, the scene in front of him had changed.
Although it is still at the bottom of the cliff, it is completely different from just now.
"This...should be real."
Xiao Chen's heart is not at peace. Is this really an illusion?
The three of them were dragged into the illusion unknowingly?
If they hadn't suddenly realized something was wrong and had a map, they would have kept walking...
Until completely lost.
"Broken?"
Hua Youque grabbed a stone, clicked it, and crushed it.
"It's useless. If it's really an illusion, from our perspective, everything is real..."
Chi Feng shook his head.
"Xiao Chen, are those colorful spiritual herbs you dug away still there?"
"Why are you mentioning... hmm? You mean..."
Xiao Chen had a flash of thought and understood what Chi Feng meant.
"It's still there, it's real."
"What's fake will always be fake. Since it's still there, it's real there. Let's go back."
Chifeng nodded.
"When we get there, we'll know for sure."
"There's no need to be so troublesome..."
Xiao Chen said and picked up a stone. Whoosh, the stone disappeared out of thin air.
He entered the bone ring, looked at the stone, and took it out again.
"You can bring the bone ring, and there will definitely be no illusion there...so, this is already the real world."
"Um."
Chifeng breathed a sigh of relief, it would be nice to be sure it was true.
Fortunately, it's not another dimension. It would be serious if I really got lost in it.
"Open a new usage."
Xiao Chen looked at the stone and bone ring in his hand, which he had never thought of before.
Therefore, this trip can be considered as rewarding.
"Do you think our entry into that illusion had something to do with the black shadow? Didn't the black shadow never appear again afterwards?"
Hua Youque thought of something and said.
"possible."
Xiao Chen nodded, maybe it was at that time that they were dragged into the illusion.
If that's the case, then the black shadow... would be terrifying.
Silent and breathless, it can make people enter a dreamland.
Uh-huh...
Just as they were guessing, a black shadow flashed in the distance.
"It happened again."
Xiao Chen had already chased him out before he finished speaking.
Chi Feng wanted to chase him out, but thought of something and held back.
"I'm the one who caused you trouble."
Hua Youque looked at Chifeng and said helplessly.
He knew that Chifeng didn't chase him because he wanted to protect him.
"Haha, how can my brothers not be implicated in anything?"
Chi Feng smiled.
"Um……"
Hua Youque was startled for a moment, then nodded, but swore in his heart that he must become stronger!
"I don't know if he can catch up."
"Let's go, let's move forward too."
The two talked and walked forward.
About two or three minutes later, Xiao Chen came back, looking abnormal.
"Caught up?"
Chifeng and Hua Youque saw his expression and asked hurriedly.
"I didn't catch up, but I saw it..."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"What is it?"
Chifeng was curious.
"If I said it was a child, would you believe it?"
Xiao Chen looked at the two of them and said slowly.
"What? A child?"
Hearing this, Hua Youque and Chifeng both widened their eyes and were a little confused.
"Yes, a naked child..."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"..."
Hua Youque and Chifeng felt that their heads were a little down. How could a child appear at the bottom of the cliff?
"Boy or girl?"
Hua Youque asked subconsciously.
"How would I know? I didn't see the front, I just saw the back..."
Xiao Chen pouted, he was not surprised by the reaction of the two people.
His reaction just now was similar.
When he saw clearly that it was a child, his footsteps stopped... and it was at this time that the child disappeared.
If you see a child somewhere else, that's okay.
But at the bottom of this cliff...it's like a wilderness. How could there be any children?
It's too weird.
"Are you sure you saw clearly?"
I still can’t believe the flowers are missing.
"Nonsense, I must have seen clearly, there is a head, arms and legs..."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"And it's not black...it's just that the speed is too fast, so it looks like a black shadow."
"It's not a child, is it? Could it be a dwarf? Are there any dwarfs among the people who came in this time?"
Hua Youque thought for a while and then said.
He really couldn't accept that there was a child here.
"You mean, you went into the secret realm with us?"
Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, he happened to come to Lingyun Cliff too."
Flowers have shortcomings.
"Then you can't bare your buttocks."
Xiao Chen rolled his eyes.
"Besides, if it's true as you said, why would he run away when he saw us?"
"Well, didn't you also say that my buttocks are bare... how shameless?"
Hua Youque also felt that this explanation did not make sense.
"Could it be a spirit? Or a monster?"
Chi Feng asked.
"No way, doesn't it mean that after that year, you won't be able to become a spirit?"
Xiao Chen looked strange.
"..."
Chifeng was fine and didn't understand what it meant, but Hua Youque was speechless.
The three of them didn't speak any more, and each of them was thinking... It was so weird!
Suddenly, the three of them seemed to have thought of something. They raised their heads suddenly and said in unison: "The spiritual root of heaven and earth?"
As they finished speaking, their eyes lit up, it was very possible!
Other than that, they couldn't think of any other possibility.
"Isn't there some kind of ginseng doll in legend? Is this a spiritual root doll?"
Hua Youque said excitedly.
"If you are born and raised on earth, there must be visions..."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"Like Sun Wukong, isn't it the birth of heaven and earth?"
"Huh? Wukong has no father or mother? He is not human?"
Chifeng said in shock.
"ah?"
After listening to Chi Feng's words, Xiao Chen and Hua Youque were stunned for a moment, and then they came to their senses and couldn't laugh or cry.
"We are talking about the Monkey King, not the drunkard Wukong..."
