Ning Wan, who was in the pink mist, waved at Zhou Qing. Because of the mist, she looked a little dazed.

Zhou Qing's expression was slightly solemn. He did not walk into the stone chamber. Instead, he used force with his hands to pull Ning Wan out.

Ning Wan did not struggle and just let it go.

"You broke the illusion? Are you okay now?"

Zhou Qing looked at Ning Wan carefully and said:

"Please return the treasure I lent you to defend against illusions."

Ning Wan was stunned for a moment, "When did you borrow it..."

Before she finished her words, she looked at Zhou Qing with a smile and said:

"You are quite cautious. I did break the illusion and am now awake. I am not confused. As for the treasure, did you lend me a magic weapon?"

Zhou Qing nodded seriously, "Yes."

Ning Wan began to explain to Zhou Qing in detail what she had just experienced.

"The scene that appeared after I entered the fog, I knew in my heart that it was an illusion, but at the beginning I couldn't come out directly."

"This is a very clever illusion. The longer I stay in it, the more blurred my perception becomes. I suspect that if I stay in it for a long time and cannot decipher the illusion, I might get completely lost and forget all the truth."

It is indeed brilliant. Although one knows it is fake, it is difficult to return to the truth. This kind of illusion is the most difficult to break.

You know it is an illusion, but it is useless. In fact, this knowledge may even become an obstacle to breaking the illusion.

If one cannot break the illusion in the end, one will naturally sink into the illusion forever and eventually die of spiritual exhaustion.

"Then how did you get out?"

"Illusionary demon." Ning Wan said:

"Behind the illusion in the stone chamber is an illusionary demon, a very special kind of illusionary creature. When something creates an illusion, an illusionary demon will condense. Their existence can make the illusion even more unbreakable."

"To break the illusion ahead, we need to find the illusionary monster and defeat it."

"When the phantom demon dies, a flaw will appear in the illusion. That will be an opportunity to break the illusion and return to reality."

"Illusionary monster, this is the first time I've heard of it." Zhou Qing nodded, "How can I find this illusionary monster?"

"There is no specific method. The phantom monster must exist somewhere in the illusion. If you want to find it, it's up to you."

Ning Wan said: "Because the illusions experienced by each person should be different each time, and the illusionary monsters do not have specific images, they may appear in any form."

"Then if you go in now, will you still be trapped in the illusion?"

"Yes, but I have cracked it once, so I can crack it a second time. This illusion will definitely not trap me."

Zhou Qing said: "In that case, let's go in together and give it a try this time."

There was no way he wouldn't go in. According to the puppet man, the path leading to the final tomb would appear at the last place after they had explored all areas and taken away all treasures.

This is the illusory stone chamber.

Therefore, he must break the illusion in order to reach the final tomb chamber.

"Okay, I'll wait for you after I break the illusion again. If you don't wake up after a long time, I'll take you out." Ning Wan said:

"You have to be careful not to let the things in the illusion remain unchanged. Only when the illusion changes will it be easier for you to find problems."

“Change means instability.”

With her around, it's like a level of protection.

This time, the two of them stepped into the stone chamber together. The moment they came in, Zhou Qing arrived at a dense forest.

Looking up, all I could see were tall trees and a light white mist.

"Find the phantom monster..."

Zhou Qing thought to himself and began to explore around the mountains and forests.

The illusion was very real, far more advanced than the one he encountered in the first passage, and he could not see any flaws.

“Boom boom boom!”

Suddenly, there was a sound of thousands of beasts galloping, and then the roots of ancient trees in the distance broke, and smoke and dust rose up.

When Zhou Qing saw it, he was shocked to see a group of beasts rushing towards him with great momentum.

Zhou Qing turned around and left, unwilling to fight to the death with these beasts.

He knew it was an illusion, but a good illusion could hurt people.

This world itself is illusory, but the harm it brings is real.

It is not worth it to fight a bloody battle with a group of imaginary beasts in a fantasy world.

Suddenly, flames rose behind Zhou Qing and the wings of a phoenix condensed. He flapped his wings and flew into the air, looking at the herd of beasts running on the ground with shining eyes.

Ning Wan once said that we should make the illusion as changeable as possible...

Zhou Qing exhaled lightly, Yin earth fire Yin, Yang earth fire seal, Yin and Yang blended together...

Yin Fire and Yang Fire poured down from the sky. At first, the two were clearly separate, but when they fell into the herd of beasts below, they began to blend with each other.

"boom!"

An extremely violent explosion sounded, and the sea of ​​fire expanded violently, directly sweeping across the forest, with the potential to burn the mountain and boil the sea.

But it was extremely strange that the beasts below were still running even in the sea of ​​fire, and were not afraid of being burned by the flames.

Some animals were still running before being burned to death. Some animals' bodies were burned first, but their harder limbs were still moving, which looked very strange.

This is the illusion.

It can cause harm just like in the real world, but it is also very unreasonable and illogical.

Some of the animals, which were clearly walking animals, suddenly grew wings and had fire on their bodies, and flew towards Zhou Qing.

Highlight the idea of ​​being casual and growing freely.

"call!"

With the input of Zhou Qing's soul power, the sea of ​​fire became more and more violent, burning everything.

He also focused on everything around him, and all the irrational scenes that appeared in the illusion, which meant that the illusion was changing.

The more drastic it changes, the more unstable it is.

"Where will it be..."

Zhou Qing was looking for the phantom monster, and at a certain moment his eyes suddenly fixed on a tree.

If he was not mistaken, the tree was not in its current position just now, which means it has moved?

Found you!

Zhou Qing flapped his wings and rushed forward. Behind him, a sea of ​​fire followed, surging over him like an overwhelming force. In the end, it was even faster than him and submerged the tree.

“Chi!”

A strange cry was heard, and then the tree began to run away. Its dense roots turned into centipedes and ran away into the distance.

Zhou Qing laughed, it was really funny.

The phantom monster itself does not have much combat power, unless there is someone behind the illusion controlling it and lending power to the phantom monster.

But there is no one in this tomb.

"Bang!"

Please...collect 6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)

Finally, the phantom monster was caught up by the endless sea of ​​fire, first turned into a dead tree, and finally turned into powder.

At the place where it died, the space was distorted and pink mist was looming.

Zhou Qing pushed his Yin-Yang eyes to their limit, then he strode forward and rushed directly into the pink mist.

The world changed, and the stone chamber appeared before his eyes again. Ning Wan was exploring the stone chamber.

This was her second time entering the illusion, so she was considered experienced.

Noticing Zhou Qing's movements, Ning Wan turned around and asked, "Are you awake?"

"Well, the phantom monster is indeed as you said." Zhou Qing looked at Ning Wan.

"Did you find anything?"

Even though they had broken through the illusion that enveloped them, the stone chamber was still filled with pink mist.

This shows that the source of the illusion still exists.

"No." Ning Wan was a little distressed. "There is nothing in the stone chamber. I don't know where this fog comes from."

Zhou Qing thought about it and made a suggestion, "Can we try to take away this powder mist?"

“Maybe this will reveal something.”

Ning Wan's eyes lit up, "Good idea."

Then Ning Wan took out a jade pot. Once activated, the jade pot emitted a huge suction force.

The powder mist in the entire stone chamber was quickly inhaled, but at the same time new powder mist was replenished. This change was captured by the two men, and then they looked directly in one direction.

That was a stone wall directly opposite the passage we came from, and the powder mist was coming out from there.

Zhou Qing walked over, covered the stone wall with his hands and examined it carefully. When he pressed a certain place, there was a loud bang, and the stone wall suddenly split apart, and a door appeared before his eyes.

Above the door, there is a pink diamond-shaped stone inlaid, and the mist is flowing out from the stone.

"What is this? Do you recognize it?"

Ning Wan walked over, looked at it carefully, and even took the stone away. After a while, she shook her head.

"I haven't seen it, but it should be some kind of fantasy. My father never mentioned it."

"Okay, if you haven't seen it, then you haven't seen it. Just keep it." Zhou Qing looked at the last door that appeared.

"Behind this should be the tomb owner's tomb chamber."

They both reached out their hands at the same time and pushed towards the door.

Silently, it opens with just a push.

But behind the door, it was pitch black.

Ning Wan took out another bead, and its light instantly illuminated the entire tomb.

The preparations were quite thorough.

The scene behind the door was clearly visible, but it surprised Zhou Qing and the others.

What's behind this doesn't look like a tomb, but rather a normal room in a normal building.

There were tables, chairs, and beds, but the most puzzling thing was that a coffin was placed on the bed.

The two looked at each other in bewilderment. What was going on? The corpse also recognized the bed, right? "The coffin is indeed open." Ning Wan said softly.

Zhou Qing nodded. Indeed, the coffin was open, which corresponded to the content on the mural.

Of course, the last mural only depicts the coffin, and the tomb chamber is not depicted.

The two approached the coffin and looked inside, and indeed there was no body there.

According to the mural, the people inside had already crawled out and left.

There was nothing in the coffin, empty.

Zhou Qing went to check other places in the tomb and found that there was nothing there just as the puppet man said.

I don’t know what materials those tables and chairs are made of, but they are well preserved.

"Zhou Qing! Come here!"

Ning Wan suddenly shouted and Zhou Qing hurried over.

"What's wrong? What did you find?"

Ning Wan bent her body and pointed at the coffin with a strange look on her face.

"Look."

Zhou Qing also bent down and looked there, and was immediately shocked.

On the coffin, there were many scratches like those made by fingernails, messy and disorderly, some deep and some shallow. It can be seen that the person who made the scratches was not very sober at the time.

But among the messy carvings, there are three crooked words that are very eye-catching.

Who am I? Zhou Qing looked at Ning Wan and whispered, "That is to say, the person in the coffin often scratched on it with his fingernails while sleeping in the coffin, and wrote these three words?"

Ning Wan nodded slightly, "That should be it."

Zhou Qing straightened up. Just thinking about that scene made him feel extremely weird.
