Normally, the hallucination would be followed by Qin Sheng's anger and his desire to take back the potion.

Then the two reached a stalemate.

Qin Sheng's regret was precisely this moment: he couldn't witness the results of his research and didn't know if his Azure Dragon potion was successful.

There may be regret among them for being deceived by Ku Rong, but the key issue lies with the Azure Dragon Potion.

However, once Qin Sheng revealed the process of the illusion, everything around him lost its meaning.

Ku Rong angrily attacked, but Qin Sheng remained unmoved.

Boom!

An attack might penetrate or deflect.

But it just wouldn't happen to Qin Sheng.

Without his cooperation, everything around him was like a mirage, unable to harm him in the slightest.

"We can stop now,"

The words had barely left his mouth when a crisp click rang out.

A crack appeared in the world before my eyes, and then it expanded rapidly, filling the entire world.

"call…"

When Qin Sheng opened his eyes, the world was still covered in ice and snow, with the blue spider lilies still swaying in the wind and snow.

"woke up?"

Anna's voice came from a fire in an abandoned house not far away.

Qin Sheng frowned: "How long has it been?"

“Three hours.” Uesugi Sakura ran over and answered, “Brother Qin Sheng, are you alright?”

"fine."

Qin Sheng brushed the snowflakes off Yingli's head and went into the house.

"Did you deliberately fall into a hallucination?" Prosa asked cautiously.

"Um."

Qin Sheng nodded: "In order to understand the situation of hallucinations."

"And then?" Anna asked.

"I really understand it."

Qin Sheng felt the warmth of the fire: "Now it seems that this illusion is not at all like the ability of a strange beast. We need to be mentally prepared."

Anna's expression changed slightly: "What do you mean?"

"Literally, what we're looking for can't possibly be any of the mythical beasts we know."

Qin Sheng joked, "Maybe it has wisdom."

"impossible!"

"No need to be so nervous," Qin Sheng said calmly. "Even with intelligence, nothing unexpected will happen."

Anna's face darkened: "No, we have to get to the botanical garden right away."

"At least let me rest for a while."

But judging from Anna's anxious look, it was clear that she couldn't rest now.

"Sakura, are you alright?"

After walking for a while, Uesugi Sakura still showed no signs of falling into hallucinations.

The latter shook his head, indicating that he was fine.

"Um…"

That's strange, is it related to psychology?

How did those strange beasts get affected and start killing each other?

Surely Sakura Uesugi can't be dumber than a monster...

Sakura pouted, "Brother Qin Sheng, are you insulting me?"

"No."

"Really?"

"affim."

"Alright then." Uesugi Sakura shook her head, shaking off the random thoughts in her mind.

If Qin Sheng says no, then it definitely isn't true.

"We've arrived at the botanical garden."

This time, without any hallucinations, they quickly arrived at the botanical garden under Anna's guidance.

This place is completely different from what I imagined. It's not lush at all; there are only a few scattered red spider lilies, and no pits or holes whatsoever.

"It seems he's not here."

The group took a short walk around and found nothing unusual within their perception range.

"This is troublesome."

Qin Sheng took off and looked at several relatively lush areas; he would have to search for them one by one.

"Taotie, can you feel it?"

Taotie shook its head as always.

He sighed deeply; it seemed it would take some time.

Next came the search. After walking through several thriving areas, they still couldn't find any trace of the strange beast.

"That's strange."

That night, the group did not linger in the Tears of Winter, but left and set up tents nearby.

After all, it's easier to fall into hallucinations while asleep, so it's better to avoid accidents.

Qin Sheng marked several points and drew an "x" above them.

However, there are only a few areas where red spider lilies are still growing; perhaps we're just unlucky.

While pondering, Prosa spoke up: "Is Mr. Qin Sheng here?"

"Enter."

The tent was pulled open, and Prosa walked in somewhat embarrassedly.

"Mr. Qin, I have long heard about your research and development of living weapons. I wonder if I could ask you some questions?"

“Of course,” Qin Sheng said with a smile.

"Thanks."

Prosa pulled out a notebook and said awkwardly, "There are quite a few questions."

"Ask whatever you like."

"I've seen living weapons before and studied them a bit. I won't ask about how they maintain the abilities of the beasts in life."

Prosa asked in confusion, "But before, we could only make it from certain parts, and the processing couldn't be too much. Why has it changed so much like it is now?"

"Actually, I didn't process it like that. What you see as processing is just putting on a layer of skin."

Qin Sheng patiently explained, "It's like a bulletproof vest; it has layers inside, where the raw materials from the alien beasts are stored."

Prosa suddenly realized: "Then..."

After asking three or four questions, Prosa intentionally or unintentionally shifted the topic to the strange beasts.

"Mr. Qin's research on exotic beasts is truly beyond my reach."

"I've only achieved some success in my own field."

Prosa put down her notebook, as if a question had suddenly occurred to her.

"I don't really understand why Mr. Qin chose to study alien beasts?"

"Because of their potential."

“I agree with that,” Prosa said with a sigh. “If alien beasts could be controlled, they would be far more powerful than if they were made into weapons.”
