60: Terrible pressure, Goddess Luo Xi's uneasiness

Lost Giant Wood, Seventh Floor.

"Huff, huff, huff..."

Luo Xi, with purple hair and purple eyes, leaned on her cane, panting heavily as she stared fixedly ahead.

Not far opposite her was a giant red dandelion floating gently in the air, shaped like a jellyfish.

"Clang..."

The red dandelion swayed, and an ethereal bell-like sound echoed from the Void Realm.

Luo Xi only felt her Mental Domain being heavily struck by a giant hammer, violently vibrating as blood trickled from her nose.

The red dandelion's form also multiplied from one to four, then to sixteen, and countless more, surrounding Luo Xi.

"Heeheeheehee..."

Childlike laughter came from all directions.

Piercing through the mental barrier, it made Luo Xi's head split with pain.

"I was truly careless."

"I never expected to fall for a map trap and be teleported to this ghost place..."

Luo Xi felt deeply regretful in her heart.

This was also her first time experiencing the danger of a hidden map.

She had thought that with her S-rank talent and epic-tier mental-type class, she could steamroll all the way, but it turned out she still underestimated the difficulty of the College Entrance Examination trial.

The mental-type Vicious Beast she encountered right now was definitely at Tier 3!

It was simply not something she, currently only at Tier 1, could defeat.

If not for the protection of her Mental Domain by her S-rank talent [Underworld Reflection], she probably would have long become the other party's mental Puppet, left at its mercy.

But if this continued, the collapse of her Mental Domain would only be a matter of time...

"Damn it!"

Luo Xi bit her lower lip, relying on her inner pride to once again burn her Mental Energy and release the [Phantom Speaker] exclusive skill.

"Self-hypnosis."

Through the skill, she performed self-hypnosis, temporarily forgetting all injuries, restoring herself to Peak condition, and increasing her Mental Energy to 150%. However, the downside was that once the time passed, she would fall into an extremely weak period where she could not use her Mental Energy.

In an instant.

Luo Xi returned to her Peak condition, her eyes glowing with purple light as she activated her talent.

[Underworld Reflection] + Phantom Speaker skill — Chains of Illusion!

Above and below the red dandelion, black mirrors appeared. The upper mirror dropped mental shackles to bind the red dandelion, while a black pillar of fire gushed out from the lower black mirror, burning the red dandelion to ashes.

"Boom!"

But the next second!

Everything shattered completely like a mirage in a mirror or the moon in the water.

The red dandelion's undamaged figure appeared in front of Luo Xi once more, emitting mocking laughter.

"Heeheeheehee..."

The mental barrier protecting Luo Xi also shattered completely.

Luo Xi was completely in despair, a bitter smile appearing on her pretty and pure yet alluring face.

"As expected... it can only end here."

She took out the teleportation stone, about to crush it.

A red flash gleamed on the red dandelion's body.

The white teleportation stone in Luo Xi's hand instantly turned into a white maggot that felt incomparably slimy and disgusting, frightening her into letting out a scream as she threw it away.

By the time she realized it was an illusion.

It was already too late.

"Hum—"

The red dandelion suddenly released a powerful mental fluctuation, continuously spreading out like ripples.

Luo Xi was like a small insect that had stumbled into a spiderweb, unable to move a single inch.

She looked at the white teleportation stone on the ground not far away, desperately reaching out her hand, but it was hard to reach.

"It's... it's over..."

Suddenly, the mental ripples spread by the red dandelion seemed to touch something, pulling back rapidly with a violent jerk.

Luo Xi could even sense that it let out a painful and terrified scream.

Before she could even react, the red dandelion directly gave up on her, its already-secured prey, dispersed all its Mental Energy, and chose to escape.

It seemed that for it,

some terrifying creature with immense threat was rapidly approaching!

Luo Xi was puzzled and confused in her heart, "What on earth is..."

"Boom!"

An unexpected Aura descended from the sky, causing the surrounding trees, flowers, and grass to bend downwards all at once, as if surrendering, and as if kneeling!

The red dandelion, which hadn't had time to escape, instantly stiffened, unable to move, and was forced to release its Mental Energy to resist.

"Th-this, what is this?!"

Affected by this, Luo Xi was trembling with fear, terrified to the extreme.

That terrifying Aura simultaneously contained both the martial arts and mental Domains.

It was fiercely blazing, magnificent in Aura, shaking all directions, and covering the entire region!

Step!

Step!

Step!

Footsteps continuously approached.

Resembling thunder drums shaking people's hearts, the biological magnetic field was burning hot!

"Definitely a regional boss! Definitely!"

Luo Xi screamed in terror in her heart, not even daring to raise her head to look, for fear of making eye contact with that creature.

Fearing that her already weak Mental Domain would completely collapse!

Step!

Step!

That terrifying entity continuously approached.

Luo Xi's delicate skin could even feel that scorching, vast, majestic Aura like a blazing sun!

"Am I... am I going to become the first S-Rank examinee in this batch to die in a dungeon?"

"Why am I so unlucky."

"I'm only seventeen years old, and I haven't even been in a relationship yet! At least... at least let me fall in love before I die..."

Luo Xi wailed in her heart, sparkling tears flickering at the corners of her tightly closed eyes.

"Is it you?"

A somewhat familiar voice filled with surprise sounded by her ear.

Luo Xi was stunned for a second in her heart, and a figure wearing a school uniform surfaced in her mind.

"Is it his voice?"

"No, impossible."

"It must still be an illusion!"

Seeing Luo Xi keeping her eyes tightly closed without reacting, Jiang Yuan was somewhat puzzled, then looked at the red dandelion not far away whose movements were sealed by his mental pressure.

[Evaluation]: Feeds on the Mental Energy of living beings and propagates through parasitism; it is a dangerous creature in the mental Domain.

Seeming to sense danger, the red dandelion became increasingly restless.

"Hum—"

Violent mental fluctuations came from the red dandelion.

While breaking free from the restraints, it also caused a massive amount of substantial damage to the surroundings.

"Boom!"

With it as the center, the ground was plowed flat outwards by half a meter.

"Clatter!"

The defensive accessory [Monocle] worn by Luo Xi shattered completely.

Amidst these changes, she couldn't help but open her eyes.
