Chapter 146
Before the mirage demon could react, the entire ice cave was already ablaze with black flames.
Every inch of air was filled with wails and screams. Everything, whether movable or immobile, was reduced to ashes in the flames. Only gray despair remained in the clear blue vision.
The mirage monster is a monster that has eaten countless humans.
But even it had never seen such a purgatory-like scene before it.
The ice began to melt, and cold water drops fell on its high face, stinging its most sensitive nerves at this moment.
"You're crazy!"
It screamed, its piercing voice made even more piercing by the echo:
"You are just human beings. You have taken so many lives. Aren't you afraid of retribution?"
Who would have thought that as soon as it finished speaking, a ball of demonic energy suddenly gathered in front of it.
But in a moment, the evil spirit turned into a human form, and a young man with sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes appeared in front of it with red eyes.
The fist with bulging veins was wrapped in layers of thick demonic energy, and with one punch, it smashed the clam shell that should have been indestructible.
"Don't say bad things about my sister, wild boar!"
The mirage monster used all its strength to retract its face into the clam shell to protect its vital parts, but its several-meter-high clam shell was shattered in an instant, and it rolled awkwardly against the wall, even causing large spider-web-like cracks in the ice.
monster.
This is not a human, not a monster, but a monster.
terrible.
very scary.
Looking at Jizhi walking towards it with his fists clenched, it was so frightened that it couldn't even make a sound.
This is the second time since it was born that it has been so horrified.
How could it tear apart Yu Xi's formation? Why didn't it activate?
What on earth do the monks eat?
Out of the corner of its eye, it saw Zhong Xian carrying Yu Xi and walking towards them. It watched Zhong Xian walk into the formation, but nothing happened.
"Karma? Who cares about that when you're a demon? Why do people always keep talking about it... Hmm? It seems like you, a youkai, have set up some little gadgets here?"
Zhong Xian stomped his feet, his narrowed eyes making it impossible to tell where he was focusing. All one could see was him laughing joyfully as if he had crushed a small insect to death.
"It's a pity that this junk broke into pieces so early."
Broken?
When did it break?
Only then did the mirage demon realize how difficult the helpers Yu Xi had found were.
It has been sleeping for too long. In its impression, humans will be controlled by its illusions, so it never cares how strong humans can be.
but now--
It no longer cared about how to deal with Yu Xi. The fear so close to it made it unable to think, and it could only panic and spew out red gas from its body.
That’s right, there’s no need to be afraid, it still has illusions!
Even if Yu Xi can escape the illusion, it doesn’t matter, it can first control the two people in front of it!
The stronger they are, the easier it is for it to control them and kill Yu Xi.
It will make Yu Xi their enemy in the illusion, watch them being controlled by the illusion, and then kill the mad Yu Xi!
Thinking of this, the joy of revenge broke out from the fear. It was like holding on to the only hope, and it desperately released all the poison in the body that could drag people into an illusion.
As soon as the red gas came out, Yu Xi, who was sitting in Zhong Xian's arms, immediately pricked up his ears.
At the same time, Jizhi and Zhongxian's bodies stiffened for a moment.
Upon seeing this, the mirage monster, which had just been hidden in the shellfish meat, immediately smiled and said nervously and proudly:
"You've fallen for it! The others are just baits. It's too early for you to get complacent. This is my trump card!"
It laughed loudly, refusing to admit defeat. Who would have thought that just as it opened its mouth, Ji Zhi, who was closest to it, was standing in front of it again.
In its horrified gaze, he grabbed its soft flesh, lifted it high, and then smashed it down heavily.
Lift it up, smash it down, and repeat this several times until deep pits are smashed in the ice on the ground, until the shell on the other side is also shattered.
Jizhi let go of his bloody hand, and the unhappiness he felt about his sister being spoken ill of finally dissipated a little.
"do you died?"
He squatted down, propped up his face with his hands, and muttered in distress: "You can't die. You said bad things about my sister. It would be too comfortable to die."
He couldn't bear to say a bad word about his sister, so how dare this banana-eating guy say anything bad about his sister!
The mirage demon trembled.
why?
Why doesn't the illusion work?
Not only did the rain stop, but the bell strings were not affected at all.
"It's better if he's not dead." Zhong Xian also came over, leaned over and put Yu Xi down, and said carefully: "Let Xiao Xier do it. If Xiao Xier does it, maybe she can improve her cultivation."
He also wanted to see how Yu Xi used his demonic power to increase his cultivation.
Yu Xi looked at the soft flesh at his feet, which was covered with clam shell fragments and stained with blood, and its original shape could no longer be seen. He took out the golden dagger that he had used to cut off the mirage monster's neck from the storage ring.
Seeing that he was about to be killed inexplicably, the mirage demon frantically thought of ways to survive. He squeezed out a face from the shell meat and stared at the dagger in Yu Xi's hand without daring to blink.
"Why, why aren't you affected by the illusion?!"
It screamed, totally unable to believe that it had lost so badly.
It is a great demon, a great demon that has survived for a thousand years. How could it be so vulnerable and lose to a few humans!
"because this."
Yu Xi rummaged through Zhong Xian's sleeves and pulled out a triangular amulet made of red cloth, trimmed with gold thread, and embroidered with a spell. He said:
"This thing can prevent people from entering illusions. You should be able to recognize what it is, right?"
Yu Xi had previously discovered that the two monks who were looking for Zhong Xian were not affected by the illusion. When he eavesdropped on their conversation, he learned that they had amulets with special effects on them.
Therefore, before leaving, Yu Xi searched their bodies, successfully obtained the amulet and gave it to Zhong Xian and Ji Zhi.
From the very beginning, she had no intention of putting her two brothers in danger.
When the mirage demon saw the amulet, he was confused at first, then he realized something, and the soft flesh with the outline of his facial features trembled, and he said in an extremely excited voice:
"This is my meat!"
As soon as the words came out, it stared at Yu Xi closely and said in a sharper voice:
"What is your relationship with that damn goat demon?!"
It paused for a moment, then immediately reacted:
"So you planned all of this! You knew I had the Xuanyuan Order, so you deliberately revealed your demonic aura to wake me up early so you could take the treasure. You're such a cunning and treacherous fellow! You ancient demons are no good!"
Yu Xi:?
Sheep demon?
Ancient monster?
She originally just wanted to test the mirage demon to see if she could get some useful information, but who knew that the mirage demon would directly drop an inexplicable bomb at her.
The mirage demon trembled, and its eyes swept across Zhong Xian and Ji Zhi frantically:
"...I should have thought of this earlier. It's impossible for ordinary monsters to compel such a strong human to become their followers!"
When Zhong Xian heard that he had inexplicably become a believer of some great demon, he raised his eyebrows but said nothing.
Anyway, let alone believers, he would even be willing to let Xiao Xier dance on his head!
Ji Zhize seriously corrected the "wild boar" and said:
"It's brother! Not dirt!"
