Although in my heart, I feel that the Fourteen in front of me is as fake as Lu Xiaohong before me, I still don't want to hurt it.
What's more, the fake Lu Xiaohong I saw before was fine, but the Shiliu in front of me was covered in blood and looked like he had suffered a lot of injuries.
Even if I knew it was a lie and would pounce on me, I couldn't bear to beat her into a ball of dust.
Reminds me of the time when I saw through the fake Lu Xiaohong.
Although I stabbed him with the Baipi Dragon Scale, it didn't seem like he turned into a ball of dust because of my stabbing.
I shouted to him, "You are not Lu Xiaohong!"
I turned to avoid the fourteenth attack, turned around, and once again showed off its sharp claws and rushed towards me.
Accompanied by an angry roar of "oooo".
Warm breath hit my face, a very familiar smell and feeling, mixed with a faint smell of blood.
"Go away! You are not fourteen!"
I took a step back and yelled at Fourteen.
As expected, Fourteen stayed where he was for a moment just like Lu Xiaohong before.
The pointed ears moved slightly, as if they were listening to some sound.
Her eyes did not turn golden, but were always dark, but they seemed to be covered with a thin layer of mist, making them look a bit gray.
I suddenly realized something was wrong!
Fourteen did not turn into dust and gradually dissipate because of my revelation like the fake Lu Xiaohong before.
She was just stunned for a moment. After a moment, the expression on her face became more and more angry, she opened her tiger claws and slapped me hard on the head.
The sharp wind whistled in my ears, and I could almost feel the faint warmth on the thorns of the fourteen claws.
I realized in hindsight that the fourteen in front of me were real and not a product of the Jiujue illusion.
It's just that she seems to be obsessed with something and can't feel me. In her eyes, I may be a person or a monster that she particularly hates.
I wanted to turn sideways to avoid the claw she took.
But at this time, the distance between me and her was too close, and it was inevitable to avoid her.
The damage can only be minimized.
I twisted my waist and rushed out diagonally.
There was a sound of "Tsk--" and the sound of clothes being torn by sharp claws was heard, followed by a sharp pain in my arm.
There was a faint smell of blood, and the warm liquid slid along the back of the hand to the fingertips.
"Ouch——"
Fourteen let out an angry roar, like a baby crying.
After rolling on the ground, I got up and turned to look at Fourteen.
I saw her frozen in place, one front paw still keeping the flapping motion, and a pair of dark eyes staring at me closely.
Her dark eyes had become as dark as ever, filled with fear, disbelief and annoyance.
On the raised tiger paw, the sharp snow-white thorns have not been retracted, but have been dyed a light pink with blood, and there are still some pieces of meat hanging on them.
Looking at the look in Fourteen's eyes and the expression on her face, I understood without hesitation that her mind that had been fascinated by something had become normal.
She has recognized me.
I don't know why this happened, maybe because she really hurt me, maybe because of other reasons.
But now is not the time to think about this.
I am very lucky that I found Shi Shi in this Nine Ultimate Illusion, and we have clearly recognized each other.
"Fourteen, is it really you?"
I stood up, a little excited and a little unsure, and took a step towards Fourteen.
"Ouch——"
Fourteen's dark eyes flashed, and he let out a roar like a baby's cry again. He lowered the tiger claw he held high and slowly retracted the claw thorns.
"Fourteen, it's really you!"
I opened my arms in excitement and rushed toward Fourteen.
Fourteen squatted on the ground, staring at me with doubts in his eyes, and subconsciously took a step back.
"Fourteen, I am my mother, I am my real mother!"
I stopped and turned to look at my injured arm. A piece of my sleeve had been torn off and it was hanging upside down, exposing a large piece of skin.
The wound was still bleeding out, but it didn't look very deep, and it was only two or three inches long. It looked like it had been cut open by a sharp blade, and the skin and flesh were slightly rolled.
Fortunately, my cultivation level is not low. Although I didn't completely avoid it, looking at it like this, I should have just been lightly touched by the fourteen sharp claws.
Otherwise, this arm would have to be useless.
"Look, Fourteen, I can get hurt and bleed, so I am a real mother, right?"
Seeing that the wound was not deep, I turned the wound on my arm to Shi Shi and showed it to her.
Although I don’t know what the Nine Jue illusion in Fourteen’s eyes looks like, judging from her current reaction, it should be similar to mine. She has also seen the fake me or Lu Xiaohong.
I just don’t know why she was condensed from the fragments of the blood moon.
But everything here is too weird, and everything cannot be judged by common sense. Maybe everything I see is not real.
In my eyes, Fourteen was condensed from the broken blood moon. Maybe the fact is that she was trapped in a certain place. I broke the blood moon and she broke out from that place.
Thinking of this, I subconsciously looked towards the broken place of the blood moon.
Only after looking at this did I realize that the place where Fourteen and I were had changed again at some point.
I found that we were once again in the same hall where I saw the fake Lu Xiaohong. The ground and steps were still covered with thick dust, and there were messy footprints everywhere, but this time the messy footprints on the ground were those of Shi Shi and I.
Small boot prints and fourteen tiger paw prints.
I didn't see Lu Xiaohong's footprints.
Behind Fourteen, there was a blood-red shiny thing. At first glance, I thought it was blood, but when I looked closer, I found it was a pile of fragments that looked like crystals.
I knew that Fourteenth had experienced no less dangers than I had. Seeing that she hadn't fully reacted yet, I didn't continue to prove anything to her. I just raised my feet and walked towards the pile of debris behind her.
The bright red color looks like gemstone fragments or crystal fragments. Could this be the crystal stone that Sword Spirit mentioned to me?
Because I unknowingly broke a piece of crystal, the aura in the Nine Jue Illusion changed, so that I found the real Fourteen?
If we continue to break one or two crystal stones, maybe we can find Lu Xiaohong?
I took out a sachet from my backpack, poured out all the spices and herbs inside, and carefully put the red crystal fragments into it.
"Woo——"
Fourteen squatted on the ground, moving his body along with my movements, keeping a close distance from me. He didn't finally move until I collected the crystal fragments and put the sachet back into my backpack.
