Chapter 50 Fantasy Talisman

Yun Xiang saw Tang Jing's defiant look and felt amused. This woman was really a "woman". She knew that Xie Yu was just an A-level awakener and would only die if he faced a level 7 mutant beast, but she still asked him to save him. It was obvious that she wanted him to die.

This reminded her of a line from her previous life, "You only lost a leg, but she lost her love!" But for Xie Yu, it became, "You only lost a life, but I lost my whole face!"

"If you feel dissatisfied day by day, the dissatisfaction will take root, and resentment will grow from the roots. The resentment will blossom and bear fruit, and the fruit is called 'murderous heart'. If the fruit is eaten, the flower will wither, and side branches will grow, and more fruit will be produced. If the fruit is not eaten, you will be remembered. Remove the soil from your heart to ensure your health." Yun Xiang's words hit Tang Jing's inner world directly, and also told her clearly the consequences of these two types of people.

"If it were you, would you rather be a tomboy or a hypocrite?" Yun Xiang stared at Tang Jing closely. If she chose to be a tomboy, it would mean she would have to face the threat of the Level 7 alien beast alone, as well as the fear of possibly losing her life. If she could withstand the test, the matter would be over.

If she insists on being a hypocrite and dies here, it will be her bad luck. If she is lucky enough not to die, this matter will be kept in memory. If there is any action in the future, the new and old grudges will be settled together. If they really want to kill her, they will never show mercy.

Tang Jing struggled for a while, but fear still prevailed, "Cousin, for Sister Tang Ru's sake——"

"Tang Ru is Tang Ru, and you are you. If you can convince Tang Ru to use our previous friendship to pay for your life, then go contact her." I only said contact, not rescue! Xie Yu added secretly.

Tang Jing couldn't get a definitive answer, but she had no other choice but to contact Tang Ru first. Tang Ru, with her saintly personality, would definitely help her. However, Tang Jing hadn't expected that when she finally got through to Tang Ru, she would be unexpectedly rejected. It was like a bolt from the blue, and she couldn't recover for a long time.

At that moment, Tiger had already used up several control talismans, nearing a rampage. Bai Mingyang was drenched in sweat, and the control talismans in his hand were also damp. He touched his face with his hand, hesitating whether to take out his treasured talismans. These talismans were left by his great-grandfather. Now no one in the Bai family could make them, and every time one was used, one was gone.

Hu finally found a way. At the moment when the control rune was about to break, he did not pounce on it impulsively, but continued to slap the rune. "Click", the control rune shattered. Two seconds after the new and old control runes were handed over, Hu jumped into the projection range of the new control rune and was "closed" with Bai Mingyang and the others.

Hu wiped his sweat exaggeratedly. This protective shield is really hard to get into! Xie Yuxin and Tang Jing seemed to have their strength drained out of them and fell to the ground. On the other hand, Bai Mingyang and Bai Yan, who had previously been panicked, became calm and composed. It seemed that they had decided to use the things on their bodies to save their lives.

The tiger was not in a hurry to kill his prey. After all, the food was already in his mouth, so there was no need to rush at this moment. The most urgent thing now was to heal his wounds. So the tiger half-crouched and began to lick his wounds. Halfway through, the tiger suddenly remembered that these small prey had healing medicine, so he approached Bai Mingyang, the small prey with whom he had the most contact.

The tiger extended its front paws in a humane manner, retracted its hard claws, and then made a circle on its abdomen. It pointed its claws at Bai Mingyang again, its hard claws gleaming, and it uttered a "woof" sound, "Give me the medicine!"

A loud "Awoo" broke Bai Mingyang's tense nerves. He took out a pair of talismans without hesitation, threw one at the big tiger, and held the other tightly in his hand.

"Another pair of talismans?" Chu Xu looked at Bai Mingyang with interest, "What kind of talismans are these? Are they easy to make? Why does he have so many of them?" Obviously the last sentence was the key point.

"Mother and Child Talismans!" Yun Xiang had seen them in the book her grandfather left her. "The child talisman rising into the air, the mother talisman held in Bai Mingyang's hand. By manipulating the mother talisman, one can control the child talisman. Looking at the runes on the talismans, the talismans attacking the big tiger are the same as those used against us—they're both magical talismans."

"Magical Talisman? Like an illusion?"

"Almost the same, but there are some differences. Everything that appears in the illusion is fake, but the fantasy talisman is not necessarily fake."

"What? What if I transform into a person, say A Yu, and another A Yu really appears?" Chu Xu's face was full of disbelief. Could it be that the real and fake Monkey King was really being staged?

"Of course," Yun Xiang nodded seriously, but Chu Xu became uncertain.

"Pfft... It's not Xie Yu, but it's exactly like Xie Yu in terms of body shape, appearance, and demeanor. That's the simplest. More advanced, it would be almost identical to Xie Yu's living habits, movements, and way of speaking. It would be impossible to find flaws in these aspects."

"Then there's no way to tell the difference?"

"There are two types of illusion talismans. One is illusory and has no physical form, so it can be broken by direct attacks. The other is physical, which can be transformed by using objects to create illusions. For example, one moment you're looking at Chu Xu, and the next it's A-Yu. However, there are limitations; the object you transform into must be within the attack range of the illusion talisman. Therefore, those with a strong sense of logic or who are good at understanding people's minds can easily break it."

"The truly terrifying thing is that if the talisman maker's talisman-making skills reach a superb level, the objects they conjure will inherit their special features. The phantom sea is the sea, and when the seawater attacks, you can feel the suffocating feeling of the water. The phantom mountain is the mountain, and the gravity feels like a mountain pressing down on you. The phantom person is the person, and Xie Yu's A-level mental potential and S-level physical ability are all copied. The specific power that can be exerted in actual combat depends on the ability of the talisman maker. The higher the ability, the greater the power. Of course, no matter how high the ability is, it can't surpass the real person, and at most it will be a draw."

"So awesome? What if his mental qualities aren't good enough? Won't he lose to the fake one?"

"Who do you blame?" Xie Yu raised an eyebrow and threatened, "You two better be careful. If you lose to a fake, I'll just bring my head to you."

"What about a draw?" Chu Xu asked fearlessly. Xie Yu simply gave him a "hehe".

"Actually, it's very simple to break this talisman. Break through! No matter how advanced the fantasy talisman is, it can't surpass our attack power. On the contrary, it can promote our breakthrough. When I make it later, we will use it specifically for training."

"Very confident!"

"Of course I will. Yu, you're so powerful, I can't let you outdo me. Otherwise, who knows who will be the boss in the future. After all, whoever has the bigger fist gets the final say these days."

"Don't worry, you're the boss in our family." The two brothers, forced to feed each other dog food, decided to find time to discuss countermeasures, all with the goal of delaying Xie Yu's proposal. Are they brothers or bad friends? Xie Yu had to decide for himself.

While they were leisurely studying magical talismans, Tiger over there was so depressed he was about to vomit blood. Tiger just wanted medicine, but the foolish little prey attacked him. Just as Tiger was about to smack him to death, several tigers suddenly appeared from mid-air, looking exactly like Tiger. Didn't they know that there's no room for two tigers in one mountain?
