Although this feeling is a bit nihilistic and ethereal, Zhao Xuan will not admit it.
"This is...spiritual consciousness?!"
Zhao Xuan was horrified, why? Because he didn't notice this power of consciousness at all from the beginning, which was hard to imagine for Zhao Xuan!
This spiritual consciousness was extremely large, covering the entire island. They were vast and boundless, like a sea of stars, making Zhao Xuan feel his scalp numb.
But... these consciousnesses seem to be dead objects?
These spiritual consciousnesses are inactive and are dead things without an owner, which means that their master has died and they are just the remaining thoughts. However, the remaining spiritual consciousness is so terrifying, and how terrifying its master was when he was alive.
Zhao Xuan swallowed his saliva, his heart was beating loudly, and he felt like he was in the Star Forest.
"Zhao Xuan, they are leaving."
Suddenly, Hermione beside him reminded her. Zhao Xuan was startled, and then came to his senses.
Looking at Hermione's worried eyes, he shook his head and said, "It's okay, let's follow."
Below, the captain's face was gloomy. This time he was attacked by those spiritual entities. Not only were there less than twenty sacrifices, but he was also missing two crew members.
The two crew members both had beast martial souls, so they were seized by those spiritual bodies. They had an opportunity in the chaos, and their souls were instantly devoured.
"hateful!"
The first mate also cursed in a low voice. These crew members were trained with great difficulty. Even if he only lost two, his heart was still bleeding.
Compared to the gloomy-faced pirates, many of the kidnapped passengers showed smiles as if they had survived the disaster. They were still walking forward numbly, but they never thought that they were still just fish on the chopping board and could only be left to their own devices.
Slaughter.
There is a distance of nearly ten kilometers from the coastline to the central peak. I walked carefully and vigilantly along the way, coupled with the harassment of those mental bodies, this short journey actually took two hours.
Above them, Zhao Xuan and Hermione walked quietly in the void. Zhao Xuan stared at the mountain peaks in front of him, frowning slightly, and the feeling of discomfort in his heart became more and more intense.
When they reached the central peak, the captain suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and asked everyone to move forward faster.
When he reached a mountain pass, he finally smiled: "We're finally here!"
"Bring them all in!"
He stood at the entrance of the cave and directed the crew to bring the kidnapped tourists in. There was no light in the dark cave, which made people panic.
At this time, the passengers who had survived the disaster seemed to remember their current situation, and they all cried and knelt down to beg for mercy.
But the pirates all had cold faces and showed no sympathy or pity. Anyone who didn't cooperate would be beaten and kicked. Under their coercion and inducement, the group all entered the cave.
Without those passengers crying and begging for mercy on their knees, the island suddenly became quiet. There were insects buzzing all around, but their hearts were pounding.
Zhao Xuan hesitated for a while and then said to Hermione: "Hermione, you stay outside, I can go in alone."
Hermione was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly: "Okay."
The girl was very quiet. Although she wanted to follow Zhao Xuan, she knew that making Zhao Xuan so cautious meant that it must be dangerous, and if she followed, it would only be a drag.
The hands hanging down were clenched unconsciously, and Hermione pursed her lips lightly, with unwillingness and helplessness.
She hated, hated herself for being so weak and unable to help him whenever he was in trouble.
Suddenly, a hand placed on her head and ruffled her golden hair.
She raised her head slightly, and the handsome face of the young man appeared in her eyes. His eyes were very clear, as if he had seen through everything.
"Take good care of yourself and I'll be out soon."
Hermione's face suddenly turned red. She turned her head slightly and said in a thin voice: "I...I understand."
Zhao Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, and then smiled at the girl.
Near here, there are not many wandering spiritual bodies, but the world is still filled with many spiritual bodies, and the consciousness covering the island is like a cage, trapping them in it.
Hermione's mental strength is not weak, and she has an extremely outstanding mental soul bone. The outside mental body cannot do anything to her.
Nodding to the girl again, Zhao Xuan slowly stepped into the cave.
Outside the cave, the girl's face was full of worry...
…
The cave was pitch black and extremely quiet, but the voices of other people could not be heard at all. What was even more strange was that the surrounding mountains all turned into solid spiritual consciousness under the induction of spiritual consciousness.
This divine consciousness is extremely terrifying. It is of the same lineage as the divine consciousness that envelopes the island in the outside world, but it is thicker and much more powerful than Zhao Xuan's existing divine consciousness.
Zhao Xuan's consciousness was squeezed into this small area. He did not dare to move or attack the surroundings. Once the surrounding consciousness collapsed, it would be like a disaster for him.
He frowned and cautiously moved forward into the cave, constantly analyzing in his mind.
Suddenly, as he took another step forward, the surrounding environment suddenly changed.
The dark and oppressive cave disappeared, and he suddenly stood on the top of a mountain. The top of the mountain was very high, the cold wind was blowing, and the white clouds in the sky seemed to be within reach.
The rocks on the top of the mountain are rugged, the road is dangerous, and there are not many trees, but you can also overlook the vast grassland below the mountain, the jungle on the edge of the grassland, and the dark castle in the jungle.
"here it is……"
Zhao Xuan's pupils shrank. In the blink of an eye, the sky and the earth changed, and the stars moved. Where on earth is this place?!
At this moment, his spiritual consciousness was liberated, and Zhao Xuan's spiritual consciousness looked out in all directions, and his face became increasingly pale, as if he had encountered something incredible.
"Is this an illusion?!"
Zhao Xuan couldn't believe it, because everything around him looked very real. If he didn't use his spiritual consciousness, he would probably think that this was a real world.
But his spiritual consciousness told him that everything around him was composed of illusory and vast spiritual consciousness!
He suddenly squatted down and touched the earth. The moist feeling of earth lingered on his fingertips. He murmured: "This feeling makes it difficult to distinguish between true and false."
Zhao Xuan looked around. The sky was clear and blue, the white clouds were long, the golden sun was hanging high, and there was warm sunshine. All of this was very real.
"Chirp!!"
Suddenly, a crisp cry sounded, and a red soul beast flew in the sky. It was red as blood, like a raging fire.
Zhao Xuan observed it carefully for a while and said with some uncertainty: "It looks a bit like the Thousand-Year Soul Beast Red Flame Crane, but it is somewhat different from the image of the Red Flame Crane in the outside world. It is more like... the image of the Red Flame Crane in ancient times."
Zhao Xuan was stunned, looking around with confused eyes: "What kind of place is this that can create this kind of illusion? How strong is the spiritual attainment of the owner of the illusion?"
The illusion here has almost transcended the category of illusion. It does not pull the human spirit into it, but uses spiritual consciousness to directly construct an illusory world, and the human body can walk in it as if it were a real world.
"And... why do I feel that the consciousness that constructed this illusion is different from the consciousness that constructed that red flame crane?"
