185: Tragic

In the dark Space, Liu Zi was shouting Wu Gang and Liu Tie's names.

But only silent stillness responded to him.

He gripped the broadsword in his hand tightly, not daring to move.

He heard people say that when inside a formation, you must not act rashly.

Because doing so can easily trigger the Array Formation attack.

At this Time, waiting in place for companions to break the formation and rescue himself was the best choice.

Liu Zi believed Wu Gang and the others would not abandon him.

They were sworn brothers, brothers who had shared life and death.

Whoosh—

Just then, Liu Zi heard the sound of flowing water, his brows furrowed, and he released his spiritual sense.

His spiritual sense could only probe half a foot in front of him.

The dense darkness brought him a great sense of unease, and he tried his best to remain calm to better deal with the danger.

However, he suddenly felt the calm water surface beneath his feet begin to stir, as if something was swimming around.

"Stop playing tricks!"

Liu Zi shouted loudly and swung the broadsword in his hand towards the water with a boom.

A pale blue blade light flashed in the darkness and slashed out fiercely.

Bang—

With a heavy sound, the water surface was stirred up into a surge, but there was nothing else.

Liu Zi did not dare to be careless.

At this Time, rustling sounds came from the darkness again, as if someone was talking.

"Brother Gang? Brother Tie?" Liu Zi called out.

No one responded.

The water surface beneath his feet, which had just calmed down, began to move again, and a black shadow flashed past within the range of his spiritual sense.

The voices speaking in the darkness became clearer.

Liu Zi listened carefully and his face immediately turned pale with fright.

Because he was all too familiar with those voices.

Weren't they the voices of his two dead companions?

It's an illusion!

His heart trembled, a chill appeared on his back, and he quickly calmed down.

Whoosh—

Again, there was the sound of water surging, and something was attacking him from the darkness.

Liu Zi's eyes darkened.

A mere illusion dares to interfere with me?

...

Zhou Luo held the Formation Plate and was studying the complex mass of light.

He found that the attack methods of this formation were very simple and could be easily resolved.

The main threat, besides the formation's attacks, came from under the water.

In the area covered by his spiritual sense, he discovered a type of monster that was entirely green.

That kind of monster was somewhat similar to the catfish he had seen in his previous life, but they had sharp teeth, were covered in black scales, and swam extremely fast.

These monsters even wanted to attack him.

However, his spiritual sense could cover a distance of ten feet around him, so they were easily dealt with as soon as they appeared.

After killing these catfish, Zhou Luo clearly felt the illusion power within them being released, trying to impact his mind.

It seems these monsters, influenced by the Magic Forest, have become "humanoid bombs," causing a significant impact whether killed or not.

Zhou Luo could still withstand the invasion of illusion power now, but if he killed more monsters, he might eventually suffer a mental breakdown.

The most pressing matter was still to leave quickly.

Whoosh—

The water surged, and a catfish-like monster leaped from the surface, intending to attack Zhou Luo from behind in the darkness.

He originally planned to swing his sword and kill it directly.

But looking at this fish-like monster and the illusion power within it, he suddenly thought of something.

That's right.

Isn't there still that little guy?

With this thought, he directly summoned Bai from his backpack.

Meow—

Bai, with its snow-white fur, leaped out of the air, appearing particularly dazzling in the darkness.

It looked at the approaching monster, and without a word, directly revealed its sharp claws and pounced towards the opponent.

The sharp claws whizzed past, accurately grabbing the monster.

Spiritual energy surged throughout Bai's body, and it opened its mouth wide and began to bite and tear at it.

Zhou Luo's eyes lit up.

He felt that Bai was much stronger than before it entered the backpack.

Could it be because of the illusion power?

He remembered that Bai's description mentioned that its greatest strength was illusion attacks.

So, would this illusion power become its nourishment?

A bold guess surfaced in his mind.

Zhou Luo instantly thought of how to deal with this group of monsters at the bottom of the lake.

In the darkness, Bai had already bitten the monster to death, and just as Zhou Luo expected, it was devouring the dissipated illusion power.

"Bai, I'll leave the rest to you."

After giving the order, Zhou Luo continued to search for the exit of this formation.

...

In the darkness, due to Zhou Luo's actions, the Array formation's attack had become ineffective.

But the darkness still existed, and those fish-like monsters became the new attack method, and the most fatal thing was the continuously strengthening illusion power.

After Shangguan Qianxue noticed that the Array Formation was no longer attacking, she guessed that the guy named Xu Changsheng must have completed the first step of breaking the Formation.

Then, all she needed to do was to hold on.

It was just that the illusion power was becoming stronger.

Originally, she had planned to temper herself in battle and achieve a Breakthrough.

But what limited her had become the illusion power.

She had to stop fighting and instead chose to avoid those monsters.

This also required a great deal of mental energy.

What was before her was not even dense darkness anymore, but had turned into a real outside world.

That place was where she had grown up since childhood.

She was once an ordinary child in a small mountain village, and due to a chance encounter, she gained the appreciation of a Sect Elder and was brought into the Sect.

Twenty "Nian" had passed since then.

Five "Nian" ago, she had returned to her hometown, wanting to see her parents.

The result was that she found the entire mountain village had been attacked by monsters, and everyone in the village, including her parents, had perished.

Because of this, she was furious, holding the three-foot-long sword in her hand, and kill towards the monster lair.

The endless rage made her incredibly brave, and the sharp sword energy was even more like her enraged heart.

In that battle, she fought until she was exhausted, annihilated all the monsters, successfully avenged her parents, and at the same time successfully broke through to Qi Training seventh layer.

From then on, she had no more worries and devoted herself entirely to Cultivation, only to kill all the monsters in this world that brought disaster to the common people.

Now, the familiar small mountain village appeared before her eyes, and childhood memories surged into her mind.

Even though she knew it was an illusion, she couldn't help but want to take a few more glances.

It was these few glances that made her suddenly feel a sharp pain.

Suddenly regaining her senses, a monster was biting her arm tightly, she quickly swung her sword and kill it.

The white dress was soaked with blood, leaving a bite mark.

She dared not be careless again, took a Pills, continued to guard her mind, while also dodging the monster attacks.

In the darkness, the other five people were also having a hard Time.

Wu Gang was already exhausted and was fleeing frantically.

Liu Tie, on the other hand, had fallen into a frenzy, constantly swinging the magic tool in his hand, releasing spiritual energy arbitrarily, stirring up a vast power.

Wei Qingtao's face was pale, and his body was also covered in blood.

Wei Qinghong, furthermore, due to the illusion, had brutally chopped off her own left arm, and the dripping blood dyed the entire water surface red.

As for Liu Zi.

He had already become a corpse, being gnawed on by the monsters.

Time slowly flowed, if this continued, they would likely all perish here.

Boom—

Just then, a loud noise came from the darkness.

A point of light appeared before everyone.
