"My child...where have you gone..." as Su Yue's footsteps drew closer.
The sorrowful and helpless cries grew clearer.
It's like a mother desperately calling out for her lost beloved child.
“Child! Come to your mother…” Then, the woman’s voice suddenly changed.
As if they had discovered something delightful, their sorrow turned to joy, transforming into gentle laughter.
However, the moment Su Yue approached, he smelled a floral fragrance.
Its faint fragrance is exactly the same as that of the pansies blooming in the courtyard.
Just then, through the crack in the door, a strange scene appeared before my eyes.
At this moment, Luvia was lying quietly in the faceless woman's arms, who was gently singing a lullaby to lull her to sleep.
Although Su Yue had shortened the distance between himself and the woman to within ten meters, his all-seeing eyes were of no use to her.
The woman remained seated quietly, holding Luvi tightly in her arms.
Su Yue smelled a fragrance emanating from an exquisite bronze incense burner in the corner of her boudoir.
The closer he got, the stronger the fragrance became.
Su Yue pushed open the door, and there stood the Guhuoniao!
The Guhuoniao, who lost her infant child, seems to mistake the petite Luvi for her own child.
Upon seeing this, Su Yue immediately shouted loudly and simultaneously raised his hand to shoot an arrow: "Luwei, wake up!"
However, the moment the arrow touched the Guhuoniao's body, it was like a reflection shot into the water.
It only caused a slight ripple, and then quickly returned to its original state.
After three attempts, she finally managed to shatter her illusion.
The situation was urgent, and there was no time to worry about anything else.
Su Yue quickly summoned Overlord, who picked up Lu Wei and fled after him.
At that very moment, the mournful cry of the Guhuoniao suddenly echoed in the sky:
"You despicable human, are you trying to steal my child too?"
As her voice faded, the scattered fragments of the Guhuoniao on the ground instantly returned to human form.
Immediately afterwards, one person multiplied into ten, ten into a hundred, and in the blink of an eye, hundreds of figures surged into view:
Lin Rufei, Shiraishi Hao, Yamamoto Xianren, Liu Bi...
They were all victims of Su Yue, bleeding from all seven orifices, their gruesome state shocking, as if they were demanding Su Yue's life.
"You're here to help, aren't you?" Su Yue looked at the tragic scene that resembled a family portrait, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes.
His movements also became more fluid and ruthless.
Activate Split Arrow!
It comes with a flaming arrow effect!
The only drawback was that each attack felt like hitting thin air.
Fortunately, these "acquaintances" were not moving very fast.
Therefore, although Su Yue seemed panicked, he was actually as calm as a rock!
"Human, you can't hurt me! You'd better obediently face death in my illusion!"
Guhuoniao seems to thoroughly enjoy the process of pursuing Su Yue. Compared to the thrill of killing, she prefers to inflict despair on her opponents; this is her code of conduct.
"Could it really be as the skill description says, that the Guhuoniao is invincible within this illusionary barrier?" Su Yue pondered, muttering to himself.
Suddenly, the illusion before my eyes began to fluctuate, and ripples spread through the air.
"Kid! Have you found Luvi yet?" Wood Ghost's voice suddenly reached my ears.
"Found her! But the little girl still hasn't woken up!" Upon hearing this news, Su Yue felt a surge of joy.
Looking at the Overlord carrying Luvi on his back, he didn't seem to be in any danger.
"It's alright! Just find a way to kill the 'Guhuoniao,' and Luwei will naturally wake up!"
"Damn it! You make it sound so easy. Try killing her and see what happens! Neither magic nor physical attacks are effective. At this rate, we'll be worn down by her sooner or later!"
"I forgot that this illusion barrier is the Guhuoniao's unique skill. You can't kill her within the illusion."
"You're making such a big promise, do you actually have a way to get out? I remember you're some kind of expert or professor when it comes to illusions!"
"Of course! Just give me a few more minutes, and I will surely break this illusion! I said it!"
As the words fell, the illusion before them surged once more, indicating that the Wood Demon truly possessed some skill.
But Su Yue knew that time was running out, and the Overlord's duration was only 8 minutes.
...
"Wooden Ghost, are you done yet?" Time passed second by second, and it looked like the Overlord was about to disappear.
"Boy! I'm about to succeed!" The wooden ghost's voice was filled with confidence and pride.
However, at that moment, the Guhuoniao seemed to sense something and suddenly let out a sharp cry.
The howl was as deafening as thunder, instantly drowning out the wooden ghost's voice.
"How dare you, a mere wooden ghost, try to show off your skills in front of me, the King?" The Guhuoniao seemed to sense something.
Su Yue turned his head and found that Ba Wang, who was with Lu Wei, had also disappeared without a trace.
The fragrance of pansies grew stronger in the air, as if some kind of power was surging in the shadows.
Oh, right! That incense burner!
From the moment I stepped into this illusion, the fragrance of pansies has been a constant companion; there's definitely something wrong!
Su Yue cast a shield of darkness around himself, and used the Arrow of Punishment to clear a path!
Every second was crucial. Guided by the all-seeing eye of the Dharma, Su Yue finally stepped into that boudoir.
Under the power of the all-seeing eye, a tiny green light indeed appeared on the incense burner!
It seems that this is the key to breaking the illusion barrier!
However, at that moment, a majestic voice rang out: "No! Stop right now!"
What appeared to be a minor collision between an arrow and a bronze incense burner created a massive sonic boom on the battlefield.
