Looking at the shimmering white hurricane that was sweeping up in front of him, Lu Yuan finally understood how those demonic beasts had fallen into the illusion.
To confirm his suspicions, Lu Yuan closed his eyes and held his breath.
When he opened his eyes again, he found that the luminous white forest in front of him had all disappeared, leaving only the real luminous white tree standing in the distance.
really!
Lu Yuan's eyes lit up.
"The illusion is not created by the luminous white tree itself, but by the powdery particles floating around it!"
These powdery particles are like pollen; any creature that comes into contact with them will fall into a hallucination.
This shimmering white forest wasn't an illusion created by the shimmering white tree, but rather because he inhaled these pollen-like substances, which caused the hallucinations.
The system indicated that the Radiant White Tree would create an illusion of a Radiant White Forest around it during the fruiting period, so he assumed that this was the Radiant White Tree's hallucinogenic ability, but in reality it was all due to the special pollen emitted by the Radiant White Tree.
If his guess is correct, the Radiant White Tree emits this special powder within a certain range during its fruiting period. Because this powder is extremely fine and pale in color, all living things that approach the Radiant White Tree within a certain range will unconsciously inhale this powder and thus be affected, thinking that there is a large Radiant White Forest nearby.
After the luminous tree bears fruit, the powder becomes more potent, causing the area of the luminous forest he sees to increase. Furthermore, the concentration of the powder becomes higher and the hallucinogenic effect is stronger when he gets close to the luminous tree.
Therefore, when those demonic beasts approach the luminous white tree, they become trapped in an illusion, completely unaware of external attacks, until they die within the illusion.
"This ability is terrifying!" Lu Yuan murmured with lingering fear.
Fortunately, these demonic beasts were attracted to the luminous white tree fruit and gathered here, allowing him to observe from a distance and discover the strangeness. If he had approached the luminous white tree without any precautions, he probably wouldn't even know how he died!
After figuring out the strangeness of the Yingbai Tree, Lu Yuan summoned Xiao Yi from the Beast Taming Space.
“Little Yi, now it’s your time to shine!” Lu Yuan pointed to the top of the white tree in the distance. “See that fruit that’s radiating white light? Pick it for me.”
Xiao Yi possesses a light attribute talent and also has the bloodline of a seraph, making her immune to all forms of mind control.
This level of illusion would be fatal to Lu Yuan and the other demonic beasts, but it had no effect on Xiao Yi at all.
"Eee~"
Upon receiving Lu Yuan's order, Xiao Yi immediately patted her chest to indicate that she would leave it to her. She then quickly darted to the nearby Yingbai tree and effortlessly picked the Yingbai tree fruit from the top of the tree.
"Eee~!"
Little Yi held up the glistening white tree fruit and handed it to Lu Yuan, tilting her little face up with an expression that seemed to be asking for praise.
Lu Yuan chuckled and ruffled her hair.
"Good, good, good, little Yi is great!"
After receiving Lu Yuan's praise, Xiao Yi smiled contentedly and then returned to the Beast Taming Space.
Lu Yuan looked at the luminous white tree fruit in his hand and used the system's identification function on it.
[Shining White Fruit: A precious fruit cultivated by the Shining White Tree over a hundred years; when consumed by demonic beasts, it can increase their talent level.]
"Increase your talent level?!"
Lu Yuan looked shocked.
No wonder so many demonic beasts were attracted by the aura of the Radiant White Fruit; it turns out this fruit can enhance one's talent level!
It truly lives up to its reputation as a fruit that can only be harvested once every hundred years; its effects are indeed extraordinary!
but……
"Can all talents be improved after consuming the Radiant White Fruit, regardless of their level?"
Lu Yuan asked the system with doubt, and to his surprise, the usually indifferent system actually gave him an answer.
[Note: The ability of the Radiant White Fruit to increase talent level only applies to talents of Supreme level and below.]
"..."
Lu Yuan remained silent for a moment.
He knew it!
The effect of the Radiant White Fruit in enhancing talent level is definitely limited by level. Otherwise, if a monster with legendary talent ate the Radiant White Fruit, wouldn't it directly evolve into a mythical talent?
That would be such a bug!
However, if it also works on the Supreme level...
Lu Yuan finally thought of Xiao Yi, who had never found a suitable opportunity for advancement.
Among the four, apart from Chi Yu, whose talent level has reached the Mythical level due to early awakening, Chi Lin and Ling Ye's talent levels are both Epic level, while Xiao Yi's talent level is the lowest, still at the Supreme level.
Therefore, this Yingbai fruit can only be eaten by Xiaoyi.
"Little Yi, you can eat this fruit as a treat!"
Lu Yuan put the Yingbai Fruit into his Beast Taming Space and spoke to Xiao Yi inside.
soon.
Lu Yuan could feel Xiao Yi's cheerful mood returning to him, and his mood also became a bit more pleasant.
"Huh? I clearly saw an area glowing nearby, but it disappeared when I got closer?"
Lu Yuan was still immersed in the joy of Xiao Yi's talent level about to be upgraded when he suddenly heard a questioning voice coming from not far away.
Looking up and following the sound, I saw a man dressed as a teacher walking towards me.
"There's a student here?!" The man also spotted Lu Yuan and quickly walked over. "Did you get lost in the secret realm? It's no longer safe here. The exam is ending early. Come out with me right now!"
"The exam is over?" Lu Yuan asked in surprise.
“That’s right!” The man nodded, looked Lu Yuan up and down, and only breathed a slight sigh of relief when he saw that there were no wounds on his body. He then explained in a slightly gentler tone, “Didn’t you know that there was a monster riot in the secret realm just now? Weren’t the monsters here affected?”
As he spoke.
The man looked around, and when he looked up, he saw a pile of monster remains not far from Lu Yuan.
? !
What's this? !
no!
Why are there so many monster remains here?
Although the monsters' corpses were broken and incomplete, he could still recognize that many of them were high-level monsters, conservatively estimated to be at least at the Earth Spirit level.
And all these monsters of this level were killed and turned into pieces?!
What exactly happened here?
As if possessed, he turned his gaze to Lu Yuan.
Meeting the male teacher's shocked gaze, Lu Yuan thought to himself, "Oh no!"
Now that he has picked the fruit from the luminous white tree, the luminous white tree, having lost its fruit, has entered a new stage of fruit production and no longer emits the special powder that causes hallucinations when inhaled. Naturally, the entire luminous white forest has also disappeared.
But the monsters attracted by the Radiant White Fruit are real.
The illusion created by the luminous white tree vanished, but the corpses of the monsters shattered into pieces by the red phosphorus were truly there.
Without the cover of the shimmering white forest, these small hills made up of the remains of demonic beasts stood out starkly in this flat and desolate area.
Fortunately, Lu Yuan had a flash of inspiration and immediately came up with an excuse.
“I was also drawn here by the fluorescent light, and I found these bodies as soon as I got here.”
really.
After hearing Lu Yuan's explanation, the male teacher's expression softened considerably.
He always said that!
The secret realm is full of freshmen who just enrolled this year, and the highest level is only Xuanzhen level. How could they possibly kill so many monsters?
It must be because of that inexplicable monster rampage that caused these monsters to kill each other for some unknown reason, which is why there is such an exaggerated pile of corpses in front of us.
However, he then seemed to remember something and looked at Lu Yuan with a serious expression.
"I understand your desire to get good grades in the exam, but there are some things you absolutely cannot take shortcuts for. Before that even stronger monster returns, I'll take you out of the secret realm first!"
"Keep up with me!"
After saying that.
Without saying another word, he turned around and headed towards the entrance of the secret realm.
Lu Yuan looked somewhat helpless upon seeing this.
It turns out that the teacher automatically imagined the monsters killing each other, and he wanted to reap the benefits by lazily taking the monster corpses as spoils to calculate points in order to get a better exam ranking.
No wonder his expression immediately turned serious after he finished speaking.
However, none of this mattered to him, as long as the other party did not realize that he had actually killed all these monsters.
It's just a pity that he hasn't had time to extract the spiritual pills from these demonic beasts yet!
never mind!
Since most of them are Xuanzhen-level demon beasts, their elixirs are no longer of much use to the four little ones who have now reached the Tianyan level, so let's just throw them away!
But only Lu Yuan could come up with such a bold and extravagant idea.
For an ordinary beast tamer, even a Xuanzhen-level demon beast elixir is extremely precious, not to mention that there are also many Earth Spirit-level demon beasts mixed in. Most people cannot give it up so easily!
Lu Yuan just shook his head secretly, then immediately followed the teacher in front of him.
