Lin Jingge then realized that the other party seemed unaware that this was an illusion created by an array, and instead thought it was real.
But she clearly heard what Qingjian said. He clearly stated from the beginning that this was an illusion he had created.
[Xiao Shi, what do you think?] Lin Jingge frowned, feeling uneasy about facing the unknown.
[Perhaps it's because of some confusing minor formation?] Xiao Shi wasn't sure of the reason either, and he was even more confused as to why Lin Jingge's story was different from what others had heard.
Just then, Lin Fu and Zhou Xuan caught up.
"Why are you running so fast? I'm not here to cause trouble!" Lin Fu muttered, circling around Lin Jinge. "Hey, are you guys going to team up with us or not? This is your only chance, or you'll miss it!"
He stood in front of Lin Jingge, hands on his hips, head slightly raised, speaking with great confidence.
"Did you hear what Lord Qing said just now?" Lin Jingge asked a question instead of answering.
"I've already stated the rules, what else could it be?"
"Did you hear Dean Qing say that this place is an illusion?"
"An illusion?" Lin Fu exclaimed in surprise, "How could it be an illusion! I think you must have misheard."
Lin Jingge stared at Lin Fu for a moment, but couldn't detect any sign that he was lying.
If one person is forgotten, you can say that the other person has forgotten. But what about two people?
Did she mishear?
[Gege, there's no need to ask anymore. You definitely didn't mishear. There must be some interfering element here!] Xiaoshi suddenly said with great certainty.
"Hey, are you guys going to team up or not?!"
"Why do you want to join forces?" Lin Jingge put aside her doubts for the time being and focused on dealing with the two Spirit Masters in front of her.
"Of course I want to be number one," Lin Fu said shamelessly.
After saying that, he turned back and glanced at Zhou Xuan.
With this kind of behavior, it's all too obvious who should get first place.
"You want to be number one? Don't forget, we have a Spirit King among us..."
"That's why we're joining forces with you. We're not greedy, we just want to get first place..." Lin Fu rattled off the benefits of joining forces.
Lin Jingge had lost patience and interrupted the other party: "Fine, let's join forces."
"Good eye!" With Lin Jingge's agreement, Lin Fu grinned, then looked at Zhou Xuan beside him and asked, "Brother Zhou, where are we going now?"
Lin Fu asked Zhou Xuan directly, without even asking Lin Jinge and the others, clearly already regarding him as the captain of the entire team.
Zhou Xuan took out a compass-like magical artifact, intending to use it to determine the direction.
He raised his hand and channeled spiritual energy into the magical artifact, while his divine sense spread outwards.
Seeing that Lin Jingge and Tang Cheng were both staring at the compass in Zhou Xuan's hand, Lin Fu immediately stepped in to explain, "This compass is a fourth-grade magic artifact. No matter where you are, as long as you input spiritual power, you can find your direction. It also has the function of finding treasures. This was made by Brother Zhou's father. How about it, isn't it amazing!"
Lin Fu's mouth was full of praise, revealing a set of bright white teeth, making him a very endearing expression.
This was the first time Lin Jingge had ever met someone who talked so much.
Before they could even ask, the other party started explaining, as if afraid others wouldn't know that what Zhou Xuan held was a treasure.
"Why aren't you guys saying anything?" Lin Fu was clearly unaware that he was talking too much, and instead kept nagging at the two of them while Zhou Xuan was trying to find his way.
"Wow, that's really impressive," Tang Cheng replied perfunctorily.
Her entire village was dedicated to weapon crafting, with the highest-ranking craftsmen being sixth-grade masters. Fourth-grade craftsmen were hardly considered treasures in their village.
That echoed the sentiment was merely a perfunctory response.
Lin Fu: "...?"
However, before Lin Fu could utter the next sentence, Zhou Xuan uttered a questioning syllable.
“Huh…” Zhou Xuan had been concentrating on operating the compass for a long time, but he found that the compass was acting strangely.
Lin Jingge admired Zhou Xuan somewhat. Having such a chatterbox by her side, she didn't find it annoying at all, and could still calmly control the magical artifact without being affected at all, as if she couldn't hear the other person's chattering.
"Brother Zhou, what's wrong?!" Lin Fu heard Zhou Xuan's voice and didn't bother to investigate Tang Cheng's perfunctory flattery.
He was half a head shorter than Zhou Xuan.
He immediately turned around, stood on tiptoe, and looked up at the compass floating above the boat.
On the compass, you can see that in the recessed area, white light flows and converges to form a complex pattern, and more and more lines formed by the convergence of white light are increasing.
Lin Fu had seen Zhou Xuan use this compass before, but this was the first time he had ever seen it in this situation.
"Brother Zhou, what does this compass mean? I don't quite understand it. I remember it used to directly point the way, why is it like this today?"
Lin Fu felt a little dizzy looking at the swirling lines.
The lines are not only circling, but there are also many of them, one circle encircling another, intersecting and tangled.
Lin Jingge also peeked over and saw the same pattern as Lin Fu.
"That's strange, how could this be?" Zhou Xuan was also puzzled.
This had never happened before with a compass, and for a moment he couldn't figure out why it had such a pattern.
"Could it be that this magical artifact is broken?" A thought flashed through Lin Fu's mind, and he immediately asked.
"Impossible! When I channeled my spiritual energy, I didn't feel any obstruction anywhere..."
Zhou Xuan instinctively wanted to deny it.
"Why don't you let me take a look? I'm a weapon refiner, I can repair magical artifacts." Lin Jingge stepped forward and stared at the compass floating in the air for several moments.
Upon hearing Lin Jingge's words, Zhou Xuan first glanced at her, and seeing that she looked serious and wasn't joking, he began to seriously consider it.
He agreed without much hesitation.
He immediately withdrew his spiritual power, took the compass, and handed it to Lin Jingge.
Lin Jingge took the compass in her hand and examined it over and over again.
From its appearance, the compass is intact and does not look damaged.
“I’ve kept this compass in my storage container since the last time I used it, so it shouldn’t be broken,” Zhou Xuan said subconsciously as Lin Jingge observed it.
"Could it be that it was damaged during the last use?" Lin Fu immediately asked.
Then he was met with a look from Zhou Xuan as if he were an idiot: "You forgot? Last time we used it, we were only able to get out of the wasteland because we were relying on the compass."
Lin Fu was speechless and shut up completely.
"May I use my spiritual power to investigate?" Lin Jingge asked.
You can't tell anything just by looking at it, so this is the only way.
However, because the compass bore Zhou Xuan's mark, she dared not use her spiritual power to examine it casually, fearing that the other party would misunderstand that she was trying to seize the magic weapon. That's why she asked such a question.
