Chapter 352: The Naughty Shadow As soon as Xu Hui and the others entered, they immediately...
As soon as Xu Hui and others entered, they immediately attracted the attention of the Mirage Clan cubs. For some reason, even though Venerable Jiangli and Venerable Yunxiu were already peak Mahayana cultivators, they were still unable to hide their whereabouts here.
It's as if everything here is transparent and there are no secrets. The cubs can also detect outsiders with their perception.
They all stopped playing and came over curiously without any vigilance.
A round, white, and cute cub suddenly appeared in front of her, with the tip of its nose almost touching hers.
Xu Hui was startled and quickly leaned back, looking carefully at the round, clear eyes under the dark blue hair. Suddenly, she felt that the face looked familiar, and couldn't help but take a closer look.
"You are..." As soon as he opened his mouth, a series of bubbles came out.
Although she didn't choke on the water, she couldn't speak. Then she remembered that she was underwater.
"You are..." The naughty cub actually imitated her, spitting out a series of bubbles, and the voice was surprisingly similar to hers. If it weren't for the obvious homonym, I would have thought it was her who said it.
Xu Hui was helpless and reached out to touch her chubby cheek. The real touch made her doubt for a moment, is this really a shadow world?
The cub thought she was playing with it, so it happily reached out its hand and touched Xu Hui's face, then happily circled around her, its tail swinging high.
Suddenly, she seemed to notice that Xu Hui had a pair of legs, which were completely different from her fishtail. She immediately got curious and moved around, wanting to touch them, but Xu Hui grabbed her and lifted her up.
The cub shook in her hand and stared at her. Suddenly, she blew out a bubble, and her fish tail turned into legs. Then her whole body degenerated into the appearance of a human cub, which was very different from her previous appearance with obvious mirage characteristics.
Xu Hui finally saw clearly that this was the little guy who gave her the gift.
Even the shadow was as close to her as ever, and was truly incredibly talented, able to completely transform into a human form with just one look, without retaining the characteristics of a mirage.
Even some adult Mirage Clan members cannot do this, but she can switch freely.
No wonder the priestess wanted to designate her as her heir. She really couldn't bear to let such a cub stay in the shadow world.
But to be honest, compared to the cubs in Yuanze, the cub Shadow here lives a more carefree life. They have no natural enemies, are carefree, and can live with their elders.
They are so happy that people are jealous. No wonder many cubs choose to turn into shadows when they grow up and merge.
It is difficult to judge between real responsibility and illusory beauty.
But one thing is that the real channel for the Mirage Clan to ascend is cut off, and they cannot become immortals, so why not enjoy happiness and eternal life in the shadow world?
The little cub was very naughty. He held her legs and played with them curiously. He also noticed her hair floating in the water and grabbed it and swung it around, as if he regarded her as his new best.
This is still good, the little cub obviously likes her, but it’s terrible for the others.
Just like Wen Huaiyu, he was surrounded by the cubs. Some pulled his hair, some pulled his facial features, some held his hands and bit them curiously, and some smashed things at him.
Don’t be fooled by the fact that they are all cubs. In fact, they are very strong, very harmful, and even more insulting.
Wen Huaiyu couldn't bear it any longer and directly used his spiritual power to push them away, but he was careful not to hurt the cubs.
But for the Mirage Clan, this is a signal to fight.
So the cubs who had not come to join in the fun before all rushed over as if they had received some kind of call.
As the saying goes, an ant can kill an elephant. Wen Huaiyu is not an elephant, and his cubs are certainly not ants.
Soon he was surrounded, and was almost unable to get out.
"Puff!" I don't know which cub did it, but it hit his nose and made it bleed. The smell of blood instantly stimulated the lake blue fish in the coral reef next to him.
They are long and thin, and look like a crescent moon from a distance, emitting silver light like moonlight. When they appear in groups, they are like moonlight, illuminating the dark and deep seabed.
Xu Hui noticed that outside the palace at the bottom, there were groups of these silver fish, trapped in the boundaries, providing some light source for the underwater palace.
They are silvery white and colorful, all of which are the brightness brought by seabed creatures or minerals. They are distributed in a staggered manner, making the entire palace colorful, dazzling and lifelike.
But it is obvious that this kind of silverfish is not a good thing. It sucks blood. Even the slightest bit of blood in the sea water can be sensed by them and they will rush over in an instant.
They rushed towards Wen Huaiyu, opened their mouths with sharp fangs, and bit him fiercely.
Wen Huaiyu was startled and tried to use his spiritual power to push them away, but it was no use. After one group was repelled, another group came over. Before they knew it, they were surrounded by silverfish, covering the sky and the earth. They were so big and disgusting, and all of them had their fangs bared.
Wen Huaiyu was startled and swung his sword. In the sea water, the power of the sword was reduced by 80%. In addition, he did not hurt the cub's heart, so he did not use much strength. However, even so, after the ripples on the water spread, the sword actually cut a path.
And all the silverfish on this line disappeared!
Yes, it disappeared, not died, but dissipated in an instant.
They suddenly realized one thing: the reflected world is ultimately a refraction and illusion of the real world. Shadows can appear anytime and anywhere as long as there is a light source.
So as long as people in the real world exist, the shadows in the reflection world will not die, right?
Thinking of this, they immediately realized the difficulty of this mission. It didn't matter how powerful the people here were, but that they would not die, could rush up again and again, and in large numbers, they could wear you out.
To verify this, Wen Huaiyu's next sword strike went directly towards one of the cubs.
Sure enough, the cub disappeared, then reappeared in an instant, staying in the same place as if nothing had happened.
But Wen Huaiyu's actions angered him and his friends, and they immediately rushed forward.
This time was much more brutal than the previous play, and they aimed to seriously injure them.
That’s right, this time other people were also affected, oh, except Xu Hui.
She was protected by the cubs behind her. When the cubs came over, she bared her teeth at them, scaring them.
When a silverfish came over, she opened her mouth, revealing a terrifying bloody mouth, looking like a sea monster, and sucked all the silverfish in.
So she was safe and sound, and even somewhat relaxed.
Venerable Jiangli and Venerable Yunxiu have boundaries, which can be deployed to prevent the cubs and silverfish from approaching. The only unlucky ones are Wen Huaiyu and Wei Mubai.
What’s strange is that there are many more cubs besieging Wei Mubai than Wen Huaiyu, even though it was Wen Huaiyu who provoked them.
Most of the silverfish went towards Wen Huaiyu.
The two of them were able to handle it with ease, but as more and more of these immortal beings continued to gather, they began to feel exhausted.
Xu Hui looked at the female cub, pointed at Wei Mubai and the other man, and asked with her eyes, is there any way?
She did not forget that this little cub should be the leader among the cubs and be able to make them obedient.
But the girl grabbed her hand instead, pointed at Wei Mubai, and stared at him with her round eyes, which were full of expectation.
Xu Hui was stunned, then thought of something and immediately took out the extra candies she had bought and the pills given to her by Wei Mubai from her storage ring.
She had thought before, since the cubs liked it, would their shadows like it?
It's better to be prepared. Looking at Wei Mubai like this, could it be because of the elixir?
Because he has been refining medicine for many years, there is always a lingering medicinal fragrance on his body. It is not obvious, but it is actually quite obvious to the Mirage Clan's sense of smell.
Sure enough, the girl's first reaction was to put all the things away, but she reacted quickly, and the other cubs reacted quickly too. They immediately wagged their tails, rushed over, and snatched some of the things away.
Those who were a little slower, seeing that there was no share for them, suddenly became anxious and rushed forward to grab the food.
They acted without hesitation, and some of the cubs disappeared, and then the things they had taken fell out, just like gold coins exploding in a game.
When he reappeared, he didn't know who had taken it, so he also started to snatch it back.
In this way, all the cubs fought together and refused to give in to each other.
This also allowed Xu Hui and others to truly see how powerful and violent the Mirage Clan was.
Several people looked at each other, and Wei Mubai immediately took out dozens of medicine bottles and threw them into the distance. Some of the cubs immediately became alert, gave up fighting, and rushed over.
The rest were not to be outdone and followed one after another.
At the same time, Wen Huaiyu swung out twelve swords at an extremely fast speed, clearing all the silver fish from everyone.
And they sank straight down and left this land.
They were moving so fast that they soon lost sight of what was happening above, and the palace below was still very far away from them, like a mirage that could never be caught.
"No, this might be a mirage," Xu Hui said.
It's already a world of reflection, so is there something wrong with the fact that this palace is actually a reflection?
The most important thing is, they made such a big noise, why didn’t the adult Mirages react at all?
And if the Mirage Cub lives in the palace, why do they play in the sea so far above?
One or two would be fine, but so many cubs only mean that they can get there easily.
Several people immediately understood that the so-called palace below was actually an illusion and not real.
And the sea area above may be an amusement park allocated by the Mirage Clan for their cubs, a place they created for them.
After they figured it out, they immediately swam up, but it was too late. They were pulled by a huge force and could only fall rapidly, unable to rise.
Even the two venerables couldn't do it. "The rules are different," Venerable Jiangli said helplessly.
The reflected world has its own operating logic. It is not real, and the rules can naturally be modified.
This falls into the category of idealism. Whatever you think is feasible is feasible.
But what you think is just what you think, it doesn’t mean others think the same.
Then, under the collision, the rules recognized by the majority can truly exist, and the minority will obey the majority.
"Rules...weird stories?" Xu Hui was surprised and shocked. The world of cultivation is really full of strange things!
So the question is, what do the Mirage Shadows think are the correct rules?
