Chapter 313 Strange Black Cat
Why were you glaring at them just now, but now you believe they are real?
Perhaps the doubt in Qiao Yu's eyes was too obvious, so Cheng Sinian grinned and explained, "Brother Zhan's aura can't be faked."
Tsk. That tone sounds quite smug?
Qiao Yu rolled his eyes at Cheng Sinian and said, "What did you just see? Why are you so wary of us?"
Cheng Sinian took a deep breath when he heard this, "You don't even know, that illusion is real!"
"After Zhenzhen and I realized we couldn't get out of this yard, we sent you a distress signal and then sat in the corner waiting for you."
"It was only a few minutes later that we heard movement at the gate. The key point is that we both heard it!"
"Then I said to Zhenzhen, 'Could it be you and Brother Zhan?' But the next second, I saw you two come in."
Cheng Sinian paused for a moment when he said this, "Oh, it's fake, you guys came in."
"But don't tell me that the illusion was exactly like the real thing. The expression and tone were almost the same."
Qiao Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, "Then how did you tell it was fake?"
"Didn't I just say it's about aura?" Cheng Sinian raised his chin. "That fake one does look pretty good when he imitates Brother Zhan's cold expression, but the aura is lacking. He looks dull."
"But Brother Zhan's aura is something that ordinary people really can't imitate."
I want to give you two swords at any time...
When Qiao Yu heard this, a sly look flashed in his eyes, "Why do I feel that what you said doesn't sound like you are praising A Zhan?"
"Hey, Qiao Yu, you mustn't try to sow discord!" Cheng Sinian shrank his neck, and his tone instantly became flattering. "I must be praising! This is my wise and brave brother Zhan!"
"Hahaha..." Qiao Yu couldn't help laughing, "Alright, alright, stop being so funny, and go find Qingchuan and Yueyue."
Since Cheng Sinian and Luo Zhenzhen both saw the illusion, it is very likely that Yu Qingchuan and Hua Yue also saw the illusion.
Although Qiao Yu felt that Yu Qingchuan and Hua Yue were smart enough not to be fooled, the longer the time went, the more dangerous it would be, so he still had to find them as soon as possible.
Qiao Yu and the other three followed the guidance of the jade seed and moved quickly towards the direction where Yu Qingchuan and Hua Yue were.
Along the way, you can occasionally hear shrill screams coming from other directions.
"Tsk. I don't know how that illusion can harm people." Cheng Sinian frowned slightly as he heard the screams. "If I had known earlier, Zhenzhen and I would have tried to get in touch with it again."
"Knowing in advance is priceless." Qiao Yu disagreed. "Besides, since you two don't know anything, of course, protecting yourself is the most important thing."
Cheng Sinian curled his lips, but did not refute. Instead, he said, "From the sound of it, it seems that quite a few people have been killed."
"Yan Zijin, Xiang Heng and the others must have suffered heavy losses this time."
"More than that!" Qiao Yu sighed softly, "There are also quite a few people coming in from Baili Zhuo."
Unexpectedly, they were able to escape successfully from the survivor base in City A, but suffered such a big setback in an unknown isolated village.
"We are busy with our own affairs now. Let's wait until Qingchuan and Yueyue are rescued before we see if there are any survivors."
"Yeah." Cheng Sinian nodded and said nothing more, but his pace quietly increased a lot.
The four of them continued walking for about ten minutes before they heard Qiao Yu whisper, "It's just ahead."
Cheng Sinian looked at the hazy tree shadows in the thick fog ahead and raised his eyebrows slightly, "They didn't enter the house?"
"It seems that there shouldn't be any." Qiao Yu pursed his lips, "It seems that this illusion is not only able to trap people who enter the house."
"Tsk. The psychiatric department is really tricky." Cheng Sinian smacked his lips. "Now I can finally understand those who were tortured by Brother Zhan."
This is simply a dimensionality reduction attack.
Just when Qiao Yu and the other three were about to reach the location where Yu Qingchuan and Hua Yue were, Jiang Zhan and Qiao Yu's expressions changed at the same time, and then they suddenly accelerated and rushed over.
Cheng Sinian and Luo Zhenzhen behind him were stunned for a moment, but they quickly reacted and quickened their pace to rush over.
When the four of them finally met Yu Qingchuan and Hua Yue, Cheng Sinian saw that the jade seed that was originally planted in Yu Qingchuan's arm had grown a jade vine at some point.
The five thin vines on the top of the jade vine were now aiming at a giant mutant tree next to it.
Cheng Sinian narrowed his eyes and looked carefully for a long time before he discovered that there was a black cat lying half-way on the tree, staring at everyone with a fierce look.
The black cat was completely black, with blood-red eyes, and looked very strange.
Even more bizarre was the fact that this black cat wasn't just large; it was even smaller than an adult domestic cat before the apocalypse. It looked only the size of a palm, like a completely unmutated kitten. If the jade vine hadn't taken aim, Cheng Sinian probably wouldn't have been able to see it.
In this apocalyptic world filled with giant mutant plants and animals, this black cat seems out of place in its surroundings.
But what was strange was that after seeing Qiao Yu and the other three coming, the black cat did not make any movement at all, as if it was just simply looking at them.
And she didn’t know if it was Qiao Yu’s illusion, but she felt that the black cat’s gaze stayed on her for an unusually long time.
Qiao Yu pursed her lips and said, "A Zhan, is this it?"
"Yeah." Jiang Zhan nodded, staring at it without blinking.
Cheng Sinian frowned upon seeing this. "You mean to say that the spiritual barrier in this village was set up by this black cat?"
"Yes." Qiao Yu nodded. "A Zhan has been looking for its body to break the barrier, but he couldn't find it. Now he has it without any effort..."
"Oh, so all we have to do is kill it, right? Then what are we waiting for!" Cheng Sinian said as a ball of fire condensed in his hand, ready to attack the black cat.
But just as he was about to make a move, he heard Yu Qingchuan beside him suddenly shout, "Wait!"
Cheng Sinian paused, then frowned, "Could it be that Ah Chuan has been possessed by an illusion and bewitched by that thing?"
Yu Qingchuan rolled his eyes at him speechlessly, not bothering to explain. He turned directly to Qiao Yu and said, "Qiao Yu, I think this cat still has some sense. It was just communicating with us."
Qiao Yu frowned slightly when he heard this. "You mean, it didn't attack you?"
But she clearly sensed that Yu Qingchuan and the others were in danger, which was why she gave birth to the jade seed.
"No." Yu Qingchuan shook his head. "It did want to attack us just now, but when the jade seed you buried in my body grew, it retreated to the tree."
"Before you came over, it was asking me for this jade vine."
