Chapter 245: Ways to Break the Situation
Qi Haoran jumped up and pounced on the ginseng spirit, shouting, "Whoever catches it gets it."
Yuan Ziwei immediately became anxious and rushed forward to grab it with his sword. Zhong Ling'er immediately shouted, "Grab it first and then decide who owns it."
Faced with a group of people surrounding it, the ginseng spirit suddenly turned into a shadow and disappeared in front of them, then reappeared ten feet away. Zhong Ling'er immediately shouted, "Don't move!"
Everyone stopped, and Zhong Ling'er smiled and said, "This ginseng spirit either knows space magic, or it is just a phantom. I didn't feel any space fluctuations just now, so the answer is the latter."
"Shadow? Impossible!"
Yuan Ziwei, who had been chasing all the way, obviously didn't believe it. Zhong Ling'er pointed to the ground and said, "Do you see a shadow of this ginseng spirit?"
No, you can see the shadows of several people on the ground, but there is no shadow of the ginseng spirit.
Qi Haoran immediately lost his temper and covered his chest in pain, "I thought I could catch a medicine spirit, but it turned out to be a fake. I'm so sad!"
"It's nothing to be sad about. If it weren't for Junior Sister's revelation, we would have had a fight. And we would have to fight for this treasure. What about the others?"
Bai Luochen's face looked very bad and his voice was cold. He had just let greed overcome his reason, which made him very uncomfortable.
Zhong Ling'er immediately took out her Palm Qiankun and told the others what had just happened, including how to identify the real thing.
Sure enough, there was a response soon. The ginseng spirit had been seen in several places. Some people couldn't resist their greed and started fighting. Fortunately, they only suffered injuries and no one died.
After knowing that these rare treasures that are rarely seen in a million years are just phantoms, everyone quieted down again. They were no longer tempted by any elixirs or treasures flying in front of them, and just ignored them as if they were annoying flies. Obviously, this trick didn't work.
Yuan Ziwei simply stayed in Zhong Ling'er's team, but he was very curious about digging. Zhong Ling'er asked everyone to stop and then pointed around for everyone to see.
"Brothers, have you noticed that the plants in the areas around you that you haven't touched are no longer as lush as they were when you first saw them?"
Everyone looked around and saw that there were indeed fewer plants. Could it be that these plants were also phantoms like the ginseng spirit?
Ouyang Ruochen opened the spirit beast bag and took a look. The things inside were definitely much less than what they put in, less than one tenth. Needless to say, after entering the spirit beast bag, those phantoms disappeared.
"Junior sister, you are amazing. You can actually discover this secret."
"I said that Junior Sister wouldn't ask us to dig the soil for no reason. There must be a reason."
"Junior Sister, what should we do then? Should we continue digging?"
Zhong Linger smiled and said, "Let's dig. And not only we dig, we also want everyone to dig with us. I don't believe that when everything is gone and the illusion disappears, this place can still be like this?"
Suddenly, the surrounding scene changed. The trees on the earth disappeared, and everyone was suspended in the air. It became dark all around, and things around disappeared one by one. Then, not far away, groups of monks could be seen looking at each other in surprise. Finally, all the light disappeared, and the whole world fell into darkness.
But the darkness did not cause any trouble to the monks. Some of them ignited spiritual fires, and some used lighting techniques. Soon, specks of light appeared and illuminated the entire space.
"Ah, ghost!"
"I C!"
Countless people cried out in surprise. Zhong Ling'er saw countless evil ghosts appearing in the entire space at some point. They had green faces and fangs, and were twisted and terrifying. They made people want to vomit at the first sight of them.
When she turned around, she found that there was a fierce ghost standing behind her. Zhong Ling'er was so scared that she immediately ran far away and even drew out her mace.
Soon, the sound of fighting continued to be heard, but Zhong Ling'er calmed down. No, the person behind her was clearly the beautiful Third Senior Brother. It was impossible for the Third Senior Brother to leave her and walk away without saying hello. These evil ghosts were actually fighting with the cultivators. There was only one possibility. The horrible evil ghost just now was the Third Senior Brother. This should be another kind of magic.
"Stop, don't fight anymore, there are no evil spirits here, we are all on the same side, don't fall for it."
But people's fear cannot be quelled by just a few words. Some people are still not ready to stop even after hearing Zhong Ling'er's words. Their own safety is more important. Unless the other party stops first, they will never take the risk for a word.
The sound of a sharp blade breaking through the air was heard beside Zhong Ling'er, and she was so scared that she immediately swung her mace and hit it. Sparks burst out amid the sound of the weapons colliding, and it was obvious that both sides were using all their strength.
Outside the Taiqiong Mirror, everyone saw that the secret realm suddenly became dark, and then when the light came on, many people shouted that there was a ghost, and then a fight broke out.
Zhong Linger's words made many people understand that the people in the secret realm mistook their companions for evil spirits, and that was why they started fighting. It was obvious that everyone had fallen into a trap, and if they continued to kill each other like this, half of them would soon die.
When Master Wu Chen saw Qi Haoran sneak attacking his little disciple, he was so scared that his hands began to tremble and his heart immediately tightened. He would feel heartbroken if any of his two little disciples were injured, let alone die.
As the two fought, Zhong Ling'er clearly had the upper hand. She wielded the mace tightly and her moves were steady, forcing Qi Haoran into a panic and on the verge of defeat.
Zhenren Wu Chen became anxious and immediately took out his palm-sized universe, praying that Zhong Ling'er could receive his message.
Fortunately, Zhong Ling'er did not lose her mind. After she was in an invincible position, she stopped her strength and did not kill her. Sensing movement in the palm of her hand, she kicked away the evil ghost in front of her and took a sneak peek. She was immediately frightened and her heart started beating wildly. What? Master said that the one who fought with her was the fifth senior brother, so how could she not feel it at all?
With a thought, the Demon Binding Rope flew out and quietly wrapped around the fifth senior brother when he rushed over.
Although the master proved the identity of the person on the other side, Zhong Ling'er still did not dare to get close. The idea that seeing is believing still overrides reason.
Zhong Ling'er couldn't help but sigh at the good calculations of the people behind the scenes. Just like her, she knew that the person in front of her was the fifth senior brother, but as long as he had the mask of an evil ghost, she dared not get close to him.
People outside know clearly who they are, which means that only people in the game cannot see through it all. What about changing the perspective and looking at all this as an outsider?
Zhong Ling'er took out her small dressing mirror and leaned over to look at the tied up evil ghost. It turned out to be her fifth senior brother. Through the mirror, Qi Haoran, who was struggling, also saw clearly that the person next to him was his junior sister.
Zhong Ling'er smiled. She knew what to do. The skills she had just learned came in handy.
Her spiritual consciousness spread out, and countless mirrors appeared in the entire space, along with her clear voice.
"Look in the mirror. Your eyes can deceive you, but the mirror won't!"
