When Meng Chao and Lu Siya realized at the same time that they were still trapped in the illusion, their brainwaves shone brightly like searchlights.
Their brainwaves shone brightly like searchlights, allowing them to see through the roughness and falsehood of the world around them.
It was different from the overly bright and heavy colors of the first illusion.
The second illusion realm used rolling fog and black silhouettes to cover up the blurriness of too many details.
When people were panicking, it was very easy for them to ignore the clumsiness of the illusion. Instead, because of the clumsiness of the illusion, it made their skin crawl and made them unable to think.
At that moment, under the influence of each other's brainwaves, both of them calmed down. Naturally, with just one glance, they could tell that there were flaws everywhere.
However, it was useless for them to be the only ones calm down.
Most of the exploration team members were still trapped in the illusion and could not free themselves. They thought that they were fighting against an endless stream of undead and felt as if they had fallen into a never-ending nightmare.
Meng Chao and Lu Siya called out to them a few more times, but they still could not wake them up.
They did not dare to use even more intense methods to forcefully wake up the exploration team members.
Their brains had been invaded and stimulated by the enemy, so they were in a state of overload and were in a really dangerous state.
It was just like how they could not easily wake up a person who was sleepwalking, especially a person who was sleepwalking in a nightmare. Otherwise, they would be scared silly.
If they forcefully woke up the exploration team members who had fallen into the depths of the nightmare, it would easily cause irreversible damage to their brains and cause them to go through spirit energy deviation. They would end up as muddle-headed cripples or even lost people with twisted minds.
The only way to get rid of the illusion was to attack the creator's real body.
"But we tried just now, and it was useless!"
Lu Siya shouted. "Its real body can be revived endlessly! We can't kill it!"
"No, there are no carbon-based intelligent creatures whose real bodies can be revived endlessly. We can't kill it because what we're attacking isn't its real body!"
Meng Chao's gaze was like lightning as he stared at the wisdom tree. "It has already invaded and interfered with our optic nerves through the illusion. The wisdom tree we see is just an illusion it created. Perhaps in reality, we're doing all these flashy things, but we're just attacking the air. Of course, we won't be able to cause any damage.
"If we want everyone to escape this damn illusion, we have to locate its real body and find out just where it's hiding!"
Lu Siya's eyes lit up, and she blurted out, "That's right, that's it!"
But when he realized that the demonic plant formed by countless monster carcasses and rotten vines was not the Wisdom Tree's main body, he realized that there was still a huge gap between him and its real body.
Meng Chao and Lu Siya looked around. All they could see was a dark forest.
Countless ancient trees that seemed to be thousands of years old were waving their branches and vines in a frenzy.
It was impossible to tell which one was the real Wisdom Tree.
Realizing that the duo had seen through its flaws, the 'Wisdom Tree' before them let out a shrill shriek, urging the undead creatures to speed up their attack rhythm.
The members of the exploration team had run out of ammunition and food. They had no choice but to pull out their bayonets, sabers, and heavy swords to fight the undead creatures.
Sword light and sword shadows interweaved into a steel storm. Although it temporarily blocked the undead creatures' attack,
However, it was inevitable that more and more people had shocking wounds on their bodies. A lot of the mucus of the undead creatures splashed into their bodies, causing stinky smoke to rise from the depths of their wounds.
The Otherworld was an extremely unstable world.
It was also a world where energy was greater than matter, and its consciousness could provide strong feedback to reality.
Even though this was just an illusion …
When a person was severely injured in an illusion, their brain could still hypnotize themselves and believe that it was real. Then, the exact same wounds would appear on their bodies in the real world.
And when a person was infected by Blood Flower spores and the super zombie virus in an illusion, their will would be wiped out, and they would only be left with endless killing intent and hunger.
In the real world, there was a high possibility that he would turn into a bloodthirsty lunatic!
Meng Chao and Lu Siya did not have much time left.
If this continued, many of the exploration team members' minds would be devoured step by step, and they would end up as puppets of the mastermind!
Both of them were incredibly anxious.
But the more anxious they were, the less they could find the Wisdom Tree's main body.
The thousands of towering trees in the area seemed to have been enveloped by the green tide. They bloomed into rotten corpse flowers and let out mocking and sorrowful laughter.
"Damn it! How can we find it like this?! Its main body might not even be here!" Lu Siya punched the air.
An incomparably thick Rock Snake ferociously attacked the Wisdom Tree, causing it to tremble once again.
But it was just venting its anger in vain.
Meng Chao's pupils instantly shrank to the size of two needles.
Then, a dazzling light shone from the needles.
"That's right, its main body isn't here. Big Sis Ya, come with me!"
Meng Chao growled and threw Golden Tooth Bloody Soul at the Wisdom Tree again.
But this time, it was not aimed at the roots or trunk. Instead, it was aimed at the seemingly insignificant treetop.
Under the exquisite control of his spirit energy magnetic field, Golden Tooth Bloody Soul dragged a chain that was dozens of meters long and wrapped around a few thick and flexible branches on the treetop.
Meng Chao grabbed the faint golden chain with both hands and exerted strength with both arms. It was as if he was playing tug-of-war with the Wisdom Tree, and most of the treetop was bent.
"Meng Chao, what are you …" Lu Siya was puzzled.
"Hold on tight! Don't let go!" Meng Chao used all his strength, and his face turned red.
Lu Siya did not hesitate. She grabbed Meng Chao's arms tightly and helped him in the tug-of-war.
When the Wisdom Tree was bent to its limit and was about to snap in half, Meng Chao suddenly released all his strength.
His feet stomped on the ground heavily, adding the fiercest "accelerants" to the Wisdom Tree's rebound force.
The two forces fused into one. As the Wisdom Tree's treetop bounced up, Meng Chao and Lu Siya were tossed into the air as if they were slingshots.
Before they reached the highest point, Meng Chao pulled back the saber and chain that bound the Wisdom Tree.
Then, he flung them toward another towering tree that was as tall as the Wisdom Tree in the depths of the forest.
Just like that, with the elasticity of the branches, the pulling force from the chains, the maglev power of Heaven Realm superhumans, and the inertia that pushed them to their limits, Meng Chao and Lu Siya were like two birds with invisible wings. They charged forward at full speed in the dark forest.
"Where are we going?" Lu Siya shouted in the howling wind.
"We're not running. We're attacking. We're going to the weakest spot in the illusion!"
Meng Chao shouted in a voice that was even louder than the wind. "Since this is an illusion, the world is definitely not endless. The Wisdom Tree used its deformed and ugly face and thrilling fights to attract our attention because it wanted us to stay at the center of the ruins of Peach Blossom Town. It gathered most of its spirit energy and calculative abilities to create this place, but we're doing the opposite. We're going to stay as far away from Peach Blossom Town as possible.
"I'd like to see whether the Wisdom Tree has the ability to create an illusion that we can't fly out of for three days and three nights!"
Meng Chao's judgment seemed to have accurately hit the Wisdom Tree's weakness.
As they got further away from the ruins of Peach Blossom Town, the dark forest under their feet seemed to become tense.
Each towering tree let out piercing screeches. Countless vines and branches turned into rotten vipers and tentacles of monsters that went to grab their ankles in an attempt to stop them.
Meng Chao shouted. Golden Tooth Bloody Soul Saber released thousands of rays of golden light again, cutting off all the tentacles of the monsters.
Lu Siya also summoned a large number of spikes and stalagmites from the ground. They rose up from the ground in the forest to serve as stepping stones for them.
Every time they stomped on the ground and crushed a stalagmite into powder, they would receive a powerful driving force that pushed them past their limits.
Soon, they arrived at the end of the forest.
In front of them was a towering rock wall that stretched all the way up to the depths of the cloud-filled sky.
It extended in an arc to the left and right until it surrounded the entire forest, Peach Blossom Town, the humans, and the undead.
Thunderous roars came from behind them.
When they turned their heads around, they saw thousands of undead baring their fangs and claws while shouting at the top of their lungs. They gushed out of the dark forest like a flood and charged at them.
"There's no way forward!"
Lu Siya shouted and raised her arms, which were surrounded by spirit tattoos.
A tremor that sounded like a volcanic eruption came from the depths of the ground. Dozens of stone snakes shot up at the same time and charged at the black flood formed by the undead. They blocked the attack of the undead tide.
But based on her pale face, the blood that flowed out of her nostrils, ears, and mouth nonstop, regardless of whether she was in an illusion or in reality, her brain was already overloaded. It was like a burning crystal engine, and she might die at any moment.
"That's right. There's no way forward."
Meng Chao narrowed his eyes and stared at the dark wall.
At first glance, the rock walls were inlaid with uneven mountain rocks, and clusters of weeds were growing out of the crisscrossing cracks. There were also large patches of moss covering them. There were even snakes, insects, rats, and ants that were panicking and running away. It couldn't be any more normal.
However, when Meng Chao activated his Spirit Vision Realm, long-range vision, super-microscopic vision, and afterimages comparison, which turned his eyes into the amalgamation of binoculars, microscopes, scanners, and all sorts of other equipment, he soon noticed that the cracks on the wall, the distribution of moss, and the escape routes of the pests would repeat themselves every once in a while.
It was as if there were tens of thousands of bricks with the same pattern on them.
"Just as I expected, the wisdom tree didn't expect that we would do the opposite. It abandoned the center of the ruins of Peach Blossom Town that it had carefully carved and rushed to the edge of the illusion.
"It didn't have time to simulate this place vividly, so it could only copy and paste some of the materials on the wall.
"This seemingly indestructible rock wall is the weakest part of the entire illusory realm.
"There's no way forward.
"The road ahead is under our feet. We have to rely on ourselves!"
