"Mountain Condensing Sword Qi!"
After breaking the stone pillar, Ye Chen's eyes flickered with a cold light. He waved a half-moon-shaped sword Qi towards the middle-aged man.
Puff!
The middle-aged man did not expect that Ye Chen would not retreat or dodge. Instead, he attacked him after breaking the stone pillar. Before he could react, the sword Qi landed on his body.
The mist rolled, and the shape of the middle-aged chief changed rapidly. He turned from a human into a lizard-like monster, with four dark red sarcomas on his head. It was extremely disgusting. It opened its big mouth, and everything in the hall turned into mist and was swallowed into its stomach.
Ye Chen looked around. This was not a luxurious hall at all, it was a dirty stone cave. The six middle-aged men, who were neither smiling nor talking, were just skeletons sitting there. The color of their bones had turned black. In addition, there were a lot of white bones piled up on the ground, extending all the way to the main seat. It was the red carpet they had seen before.
Looking back, the side room was also a stone cave. It was a few meters in size, and there was a huge pit at the bottom. The pit was filled with a gray liquid, and sticky bubbles were rising from it. When the bubbles burst, the air that was stored in the liquid touched the cave wall and corroded it, leaving a large area of black marks.
Although he knew that everything before was just an illusion, Ye Chen still could not help but gasp. If he had not noticed it in advance, he would have stepped into the gray liquid and died. What was more horrifying was that if he had guessed it right, this lizard-like monster should be a rare Shen Beast on the true spirit continent. It liked to suck people's brains and turn their memories into its own. Then, it would refine a kind of Shen Qi according to the memories in its mind and arrange a vivid illusion, making it hard for people to tell which was real and which was fake.
Shen Beasts were demonic beasts that could evolve. According to the number of sarcomas on their heads, their strength could be distinguished. One sarcoma-like demonic beast was a rank 1 beast, two were rank 2, and four were rank 4 beasts. However, Ye Chen was not afraid of it. Among the demonic beasts of the same level, Shen Beasts were the weakest kind, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
"Where is the girl?" Ye Chen stared at the Shen Beast.
The Shen Beast growled, its small eyes filled with malice.
Ye Chen frowned and remembered that the Sea Serpent could not speak. Only in the illusion did people think that it could speak. In fact, it had not spoken from the beginning to the end. Everything was based on the atmosphere and its own imagination.
"Since that's the case, there's no need for you to stay." The previous sword strike had already injured the Sea Serpent, causing it to lose control of the Sea Serpent Qi. Ye Chen was not afraid that it would use the Sea Serpent Qi again. He stamped his feet and released his hidden force. Immediately, three Sword Qi flew out in a triangular formation.
Boom!
The Sea Serpent flew high in the air under the explosion of the hidden force, and forcibly withstood the three Sword Qi.
Fiercely hitting the cave wall, the sea serpent suddenly opened its mouth and spat out a wisp of fog. This wisp of fog turned into a ball of fire in the air, burning towards Ye Chen.
"Watch me destroy your mirage!"
Ye Chen didn't dare to face the fire directly. He was afraid that it might be a trap. He switched the Hidden Cloud Sword to his left hand and launched the first style of the tyrant fist – Tyrannical Rampage. All of a sudden, the fire was integrated into the sword and rushed towards the sea serpent.
A horrifying scream sounded.
There was a bloody hole in the chest and abdomen of the sea serpent. The edge of the bloody hole was pitch black, and a disgusting burnt smell spread out, making people want to vomit.
"It's really a trap!" The tyrant fist itself had no attribute, but it could be integrated into the opponent's attack. At this time, the Sea Serpent was clearly suffering from its own actions.
However, Ye Chen didn't know that the sea serpent's mirage contained five elements of Yuan Qi. Fire Yuan Qi was one of them. That fire was the essence of the fire in its body. It was very difficult to condense it again. Just now, it was afraid that it couldn't kill Ye Chen, so it used the Sea Serpent Qi to cover up the existence of the fire. Then, it took back the Sea Serpent Qi, which was easy to give people the illusion that it was an illusion.
As long as Ye Chen was not careful, there was a high possibility that he would fail miserably.
The intelligence of this monster was not inferior to that of humans. In terms of insidiousness and cunning, most humans were no match for it.
Ye Chen's pupils shrank, and his heart was filled with killing intent. This Sea Serpent must not be left alive, otherwise, there would be endless disasters.
"Die!"
With a low shout, Ye Chen threw out a punch and a sword at the same time.
Crack! Bang!
Like a broken sack, the Sea Serpent collapsed on the ground, motionless. However, Ye Chen was afraid that it was not enough, so he continued to attack until the Sea Serpent was no longer in its beast form.
Walking to the corpse of the Sea Serpent, Ye Chen reached out his hand and a fist-sized inner pellet was sucked out. The surface of the inner pellet was white, and there was a mist overflowing from it. Just looking at it would easily make people hallucinate.
Taking out a slightly larger jade box from his storage ring, Ye Chen put the inner pellet into it.
Putting away the jade box, Ye Chen let out a sigh of relief. He looked around, hoping to find some clues.
Previously, in the illusion, the Sea Serpent had described the characteristics of the granddaughter of the elder, so he should have seen her before. He wondered if she was in danger or not. If she was in danger, there was nothing he could do. After all, it had been too long. The Sea Serpent was not a herbivorous monster. It specialized in sucking human brains.
Something was not right. Ye Chen suddenly shook his head.
The Sea Serpent could not speak, so everything that happened in the illusion did not count. But, how did it know the characteristics of the granddaughter of the elder? Could it be that those were my own memories? The Sea Serpent made me hallucinate and said the answers I wanted to know. In other words, no matter who it was, as long as they were in the illusion, there would not be any loopholes in their words, because the questions I wanted to ask have already been answered.
With a bitter smile, Ye Chen had to admit defeat to the Sea Serpent. If it were not for the fact that he had doubts in his heart and his unusually strong soul power, he would have been tricked by the Sea Serpent.
After a careful search and finding no clues, Ye Chen immediately walked out of the cave.
Outside the cave, the ground was a wasteland full of weeds. The stone bridge was just a fallen boulder. As for the gully, it was real, and below it was a lake.
Following the way he came, Ye Chen went down the mountain.
After a while.
The lost ship appeared in front of him. There were more than ten people standing there, including a girl in a yellow dress. The girl was beautiful and had a clean temperament.
If he was not mistaken, the girl was the granddaughter of the old man, Qu Xinying.
"Young Hero Ye, my granddaughter has been found." The old man smiled.
Ye Chen touched his nose, "That's good."
Qu Ming asked, "Nothing happened on your side, right?"
"No, nothing happened." Ye Chen did not intend to complicate matters. Anyway, the purpose of the other party was to find Qu Xinying, so there was no need to mention the Sea Serpent.
"That's good, let's go back! It's getting late. "The old man nodded.
The lost ship was abandoned in place. Everyone boarded the ironwood ship and sailed along the route they came from.
On the way back, the number of demon beasts did not decrease, but because it was close to evening, it became more dangerous. Fortunately, Ye Chen and Qu Ming protected the ironwood ship and did not let it deviate from the route.
When the last ray of sunlight faded, everyone had already returned to Pan Shan Island.
It was a quiet night!
The next morning, Ye Chen said goodbye to everyone.
As for Qu Ming, it was rare for him to come back, so he planned to stay for a few more days. After all, the curse of Pan Shan Island generally occurred between the second and third month. There was no danger in the first and second month, and Qu Ming had only been back for a day.
On the Ancient Water Lake, the water was sparkling. A person stepped on a tree trunk and rushed forward.
"In June, the inner disciple ranking competition will be held. I wonder what kind of powerful characters will be among the top ten inner disciples." Ye Chen's white robe fluttered in the wind. While looking at the lake scenery, he was thinking.
