In the forest, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, the scenery looks great, and it feels like a fairyland.
"This place is really beautiful, maybe we can find the Medicine Emperor!"
Ye'er smiled as brightly as a flower. Looking at this beautiful forest, she couldn't help but feel confident in her heart.
"beautiful?"
Gu Xuan shook his head, stretched out his right hand, and patted Ye'er's forehead lightly.
Ye'er only felt that her eyes were cold, as if there was a very mysterious energy flashing through, and the scenery in front of her eyes had undergone earth-shaking changes.
The originally lush forest lost its chirping birds and fragrance of flowers, lost its beauty, and turned into a withered scene.
Each tree has long been in decay, and it seems that it can be knocked down with just a gentle push.
There is no wind here, and you can only vaguely see a red sun in the sky. You can't feel the warmth of the sun at all. There is a dead scene everywhere, with dead bones everywhere. What kind of fairyland does it look like?
If you say it's hell, some people may believe it.
Ye'er opened her mouth wide.
"how so?"
Gu Xuan put his hands behind his back and looked into the depths of the forest.
"A leaf to blind one's eyes is nothing more than a blind eye.
In this forest, there is the Medicine Emperor, and the ferocious beast guarding the Medicine Emperor should be a mirage dragon with the bloodline of ancient divine beasts.
What you see is the illusion it creates for you."
While talking, Gu Xuan was already walking inside.
Ye'er quickly caught up.
"An illusion created for me? In other words, am I the only one who saw the fairyland-like forest just now?
Then what did you see first, Mr. Xuan?"
Gu Xuan smiled faintly.
"This level of deception is of no use to me.
So, I don’t know what kind of illusion it created for me, and I’m not interested in knowing.”
Ye'er's eyes showed admiration.
"As expected of Young Master Xuan! By the way, Young Master Xuan, what does the mirage look like?
Is it the same as the dragon statue?"
Gu Xuan held his chin and began to think.
"It should be similar, right? After all, it's also a dragon.
However, I just guessed that it was the ferocious beast guarding the Medicine Emperor?
As for what a mirage looks like, I have never seen one.
But we’ll see you soon.”
At this moment, endless roaring sounds suddenly sounded from all directions.
Da da da.
Bang bang bang.
As if a tide of beasts broke out, the sounds of countless ferocious beasts roaring and running sounded from in front of the two of them.
Then, I saw trees falling down one after another and dust rising everywhere.
Thousands of ferocious beasts rushed toward the two of them.
A terrifying aura erupted from the beasts.
There are hundreds of ferocious beasts in front, and every one of them has the aura of a peak profound sage.
The combined momentum of so many ferocious beasts caused the world to change color.
Ye'er's face turned pale.
Gu Xuan smiled softly and held Ye'er's jade hand.
"Ye'er, don't be afraid. The mirage's attack methods are very limited.
There won't be any real attacks until we see it.
What you see is just an illusion.
If you are afraid, just close your eyes."
Ye'er nodded, closed her eyes obediently, and Ren Guxuan took her hand and continued walking forward.
Gu Xuan held Ye'er with one hand, but the other hand was behind his back.
Facing thousands of ferocious beasts charging towards him, his expression remained calm and calm, without any change.
Just after the first ferocious beast hit Gu Xuan hard, but penetrated through Gu Xuan's body without having any impact on him, the tide of beasts disappeared in an instant.
Ye'er opened her eyes in surprise.
"Disappeared?"
"An illusion is just an illusion after all. If it doesn't scare anyone, it will disappear naturally."
Gu Xuan explained.
Ye'er was thoughtful.
"That mirage dragon seems to be very kind. After we snatch the Medicine Emperor it protects, let's let it go."
Gu Xuan smiled and shook his head.
"The mirage is not kind. Once we were afraid and escaped, the beast wave just now will become even more terrifying.
The purpose of the mirage is not to scare us away, but to scare us to death.
What it is best at is planting the seeds of fear in people's hearts.
Once it succeeds, it has many ways to kill people without bloodshed.
Just like the poison in your body, the person who poisoned you would like to cut you into pieces, but he did not kill you.
But can you say that he has a kind heart?
It’s the same thing.”
"Yeah, here we go again!"
Before Ye'er could fully reflect on Gu Xuan's words, he saw three half-step saints descending from the sky with a powerful aura.
"Who is coming? This is a forbidden area, get out or die!"
The three half-step saints shouted in unison, sacrificed powerful treasures, and launched attacks on Gu Xuan and Ye'er.
Another attack that changed the color of the world appeared.
Gu Xuan still just smiled faintly and did not take these attacks seriously at all.
Just like the previous beast tide, when these attacks fell, they still did not cause any damage to Gu Xuan.
The three half-step saints stared at Gu Xuan coldly.
"You will regret it, you will definitely regret it!"
They also disappeared into thin air.
Gu Xuan still strode forward, as if the collapse of heaven and earth and the destruction of the world could no longer stop his progress.
This walk lasted a full day and night, during which there were countless illusions.
Finally, the two reached the depths of the forest.
There is actually a small lake here.
In the middle of the lake, there is a small island three feet square.
On the island, a fairy in white clothes, with bare feet, is sitting on the white flowers all over the island.
Ye'er couldn't help but widen her eyes when she saw the fairy in white.
What a beautiful fairy that is?
Ye'er swore that this was the most beautiful fairy she had ever seen.
Just looking at her makes me feel ashamed.
If there is a fairy who has been banished from the heavens to the dust in the world, this fairy must be the most beautiful one among them.
She just sat quietly on the island, as if the whole world had been purified.
But how could there be such a beautiful fairy here?
Is she also an illusion?
Ye'er looked at Gu Xuan, her eyes full of questions.
A trace of doubt flashed across Gu Xuan's face.
Because he couldn't tell whether the woman in front of him was an illusion.
"The transformed mirage?"
Gu Xuan looked at the woman and asked tentatively.
The fairy in white seemed to have only discovered the existence of Gu Xuan and Ye'er until this moment.
She slowly turned her head and looked at Gu Xuan with a pair of beautiful eyes as bright as stars.
"The mirage can also change shape?"
The fairy in white asked rhetorically.
Gu Xuan doesn't know the answer to this.
However, theoretically speaking, the mirage is a ferocious beast, and it should be able to transform into a human being.
However, this is only theoretical.
There are still many ferocious beasts that cannot transform.
Maybe, this mirage is one of them.
So, for a moment, Gu Xuan didn't know what to say.
The atmosphere is a little subtle and a little awkward.
At this moment, the voice of the Falling Sky Sword Spirit exploded directly in Gu Xuan's mind.
"Damn it, brat, I can't see what's going on outside.
What exactly have you encountered now?
This feeling is very dangerous. I have never felt so dangerous.
Be careful!"
Gu Xuan's pupils shrank, he pulled Ye'er and backed away suddenly.
The Meteorite Sword Spirit has been recovering its strength, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is a thousand miles away.
Even today's Gu Xuan feels that the opponent is unfathomable when facing the Yuetian Sword Spirit.
But now, such a powerful Fallen Sky Sword Spirit actually feels danger.
That means it's really dangerous here.
"Who are you exactly?"
Gu Xuan stared at the fairy in white, extremely wary. (To be continued)
