Chapter 346: Mirage Cub Facts have proven that Xu Hui really does...
As it turned out, Xu Hui seemed to be really well-liked. As soon as she finished speaking, a phantom appeared in front of her.
Inside is a bottomless ocean, with shells of all sizes and colors underwater. Some of the shells are wide open, revealing all kinds of cubs with human bodies and fish tails inside.
Some shells are closed, but Xu Hui can still see what's inside, which looks like a complete fish or a complete doll.
Then outside the shell, there was an even stranger scene: a larger fish was chasing and eating its own kind.
Yes, of the same kind, big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimps, this is normal.
But no marine creature would eat its own kind, right?
But in the shadows, there were countless sea monsters, sea beasts, and sea fish devouring their own kind.
Seeing her confusion, Wei Mubai explained, "Those larger ones are Mirage Tribe cubs. They're born with the ability to transform into various forms, and when hunting, they like to take on the appearance of their food. But because they're cubs, they can only grow a little bit. The Mirage Tribe's eyesight isn't very good, so they worry about accidentally eating the cubs, so they keep them together and raise them instead of releasing them back into the sea."
"But won't the bigger mirages accidentally eat the smaller ones?" Xu Hui was puzzled. It was really impossible for the mirages to not be able to see the transformations of their own kind.
"No, the Mirage Tribe only has three forms: juvenile, growing, and adult. Juveniles are all about the same strength, so even if they accidentally bite another cub, it's just a fight, not a real kill. When they reach the growing stage, they will be expelled from Yuanze and move into another territory to live until they reach adulthood."
The Mirage Clan is naturally powerful and actually does not need to practice at all. Moreover, the strength of the Mirage Clan in the same period is similar, at least they will not kill each other.
Unlike adult mirages, they can swallow infant ones in one gulp.
"It's amazing," Xu Hui could only say this. She stretched out her hand, took out the eight Kaka beads, thought for a moment, and threw one away.
The Kaka Pearl flew into the shadow and fell into the sea. It was immediately noticed by the nearby cubs, which suddenly jumped out of the shell and bit it, gnawing and biting it with their teeth, making a rhythmic "kaka" sound.
The other cubs seemed to be summoned and came out of their shells one after another. They transformed into human bodies and fish tails, swimming around it quickly, changing into various shapes, as if they were dancing.
The entire sea area became lively and bustling.
At this time, a number of mirages appeared silently around her, each of them was extraordinarily handsome, some male and some female, but most of them were indistinguishable in gender, so beautiful that it was difficult to tell whether they were male or female.
"Oh, little one likes your gift very much," said one of the most beautiful women. She had a pair of extremely charming eyes. When she looked at you, it seemed as if they contained thousands of stars, making people fall in love with her.
But Xu Hui's first reaction was to look at Wei Mubai. She saw that his eyes were calm. When he sensed her movements, he moved slightly and raised a faint smile.
"Oh, they are a pair of lovers," the female Mirage smiled, charming and graceful, yet also captivating. "I rarely see humans with such a strong will. With the character of humans, even if they have someone in their heart, they will still be fascinated by my beauty. You are different."
Xu Hui was stunned for a moment and said in disbelief, "Were you seducing me just now?"
"Isn't it obvious?" The female Mirage Clan member lifted the ends of her hair and revealed an extremely beautiful smile.
"Well, you are very beautiful," Xu Hui praised. Who doesn't like to look at beautiful women, especially those who are this beautiful, which are hard to find in the world. But she is a very straight woman and it is impossible for her to be attracted by beautiful women.
"No, no, no, child, you are not as steadfast as you think you are. You simply have someone in your heart and have cultivated the ruthless path." The female Mirage Clan member shook her head. A shell appeared in her hand and slowly opened, revealing a strange insect inside. "This is the Tracing Cause Gu. If you are willing to give me the remaining Kaka Pearls, I can give you this. It can help you see through the ruthless path."
"Don't give it to her," she said, but was interrupted by Venerable Jiang Li. "Priestess, you are being very unkind. My nephew and she were supposed to have a relationship, but something happened that broke up the relationship. You gave her the Tracing Cause Gu to help her understand the ruthless path. Isn't that completely destroying my nephew's hope?"
"Wouldn't it be good for such a gifted and pure-hearted girl to achieve godhood? Indulging in lust and ending your path to godhood, you humans are selfish," the priestess said unhappily, looking at Xu Hui. "Little girl, listen to me. Be a free and easy god, living as long as heaven and earth. Men are nothing, they are not as important as you."
Xu Hui couldn't help but look at Wei Mubai. A flash of gloom flashed across his eyes, but he said nothing and didn't look at Xu Hui. It seemed that he had made up his mind and didn't want to influence her judgment.
Inexplicably, Xu Hui felt unhappy in her heart. She smiled and said, "Thank you for the kindness of the female priestess, but I want the Mirage Condensed Marrow more. I don't know how to get it."
The priestess was surprised. "You are quite frank. Every human who comes to the Mirage Island wants the Mirage Essence, but they may not be able to obtain it no matter how hard they try. Firstly, it is the condensation of our Mirage Clan's power, which has always been the most precious thing, so we will not give it to them. Secondly, they are too greedy and cannot gain the recognition of the Mirage Essence."
"Well, can I have it?" She was also quite greedy.
"You can try," the priestess seemed to really like her and explained with a pleasant face, "The Mirage Clan will protect their young, even in death. That's why many of the lost Mirage Light Condensed Essences ended up in Yuanze, guarding the young ones."
This is also why the Mirage Clan must raise their young in the abyss, because countless creatures covet their Mirage Light Marrow and may harm their young for this purpose.
Yuanze is a place that even grown-up members of the Mirage Clan cannot enter, let alone outsiders.
"Give them all the Kaka beads you've obtained. If they're happy, they'll give you gifts. Among them might be the Mirage Essence." She looked at the phantom with smiling eyes, a deep tenderness in her eyes. "Some little ones just like to collect these things. They're the purest ones, able to snatch the Mirage Essence from the void. By the way, only the Kaka beads you approve of can establish a connection with Yuanze."
Xu Hui: ...
As expected, he was very idealistic. After throwing the remaining seven Kaka beads in, the mirage cubs were completely crazy with joy. They swam freely on the seabed, and some even started fighting. The other cubs were either affected or aroused their interest, and actually followed suit and flapped their tails to hit people.
Gradually, the dance turned into a group fight, and for a moment, the entire seabed was turned upside down.
Xu Hui was stunned and quickly turned to look at the priestess, only to find that she was still smiling brightly. "The little one is just lively. It's okay. Let them fight. The more they fight, the more spirited they are."
She pointed at a cub that was beaten and running away, rapidly changing its form. "This little guy is incredibly lazy. He doesn't even change his form when catching food. He just sucks it in with his mouth and the food comes to him automatically. If this continues, he will be useless. He can't even do the most basic transformation of the Mirage Clan. He's still a child after all. He gets excited by a Kaka Pearl. And that guy, he usually likes to bully others. Now he's getting his revenge."
She was talking about a cub that was beaten by a group of people. It looked very pitiful, with bruises all over its fair and tender face, but the other cubs refused to let it go and kept chasing and beating it.
It seems that the Mirage Clan encourages the cubs to fight. Look how happily the priestess is laughing. Her face is full of glee.
As if aware of her confusion, the female priest smiled and said, "She is the one I chose to be the next priestess. What do you think? Isn't she the most beautiful of the cubs? She also has the worst temper!"
"So your method of selecting priests is to see who is good-looking and who has a bad temper?"
"Of course not," the priestess was surprised. "Why would you think so? Of course it's because she has the highest talent!"
"......How did you know that?" Isn't it said that the strength of the Mirage Clan at the same stage is about the same? She thinks they are indeed about the same. When they fight in a group, no one stands out.
"Didn't you notice?" the priestess smiled. "She is looking at you. She senses you and is pretending to be pitiful towards you."
"Ah?" Xu Hui really didn't notice it. When she looked over again, she found that the poor little girl was really rushing towards her with her injured but still cute face, intentionally or unintentionally, revealing a pitiful expression from time to time.
Well, it's a little green tea!
"What does she want?" There must be a purpose for doing this, right?
"It depends on what you are willing to give," the priestess smiled meaningfully.
Xu Hui was stunned and flipped through her collection. She saw many spiritual fruits and candies. The former were given to her by the eldest elder of the Wen family and Wei Mubai, and the latter were bought by her when she visited the Wen Mall in the past two months.
In fact, she doesn't like sweets very much. In comparison, she prefers spicy snacks.
But these candies are so beautiful, and the process of making them is so pleasing to the eye, just like making some kind of work of art.
She couldn't help herself, and spent three days and three nights looking at the candies in the store, and then bought more than three hundred kinds of candies. Each one was delicious, but even more so, they looked good.
Xu Hui took out the things and looked at the priestess tentatively. She smiled without saying anything.
Okay, this one then.
Xu Hui threw all the spiritual fruits and candy jars in. The little girl seemed to be able to sense this and was the first to take action. She broke away from the encirclement, jumped up, and took away the largest portion of spiritual fruits and candies.
Then it dives into its own shell at an extremely fast speed, and remains unmoved no matter how other cubs slap the shell.
The remaining spiritual fruits and candies were divided up at an extremely fast speed and then disappeared quickly.
The cubs that were originally fighting together all dispersed, ran to surround the shells of the cubs who had obtained something, and knocked on the shells hard.
Is that it?
Xu Hui was puzzled, and continued to rummage through her storage ring, trying to find something else.
At this moment, many bubbles appeared densely in the phantom, which contained various objects, including sea fish, shells, pearls, corals, seaweed, etc. Everything that can be seen in the sea can be found in the bubbles.
There was even a bubble that contained a cute fat baby, the same little girl who had just pretended to be pitiful. The scars on her face had disappeared, and she was blinking her big, round eyes and looking at this side.
Xu Hui: ...
The priestess nodded and said, "Smart little devil, this is because he likes the candy you gave him and wants you to give him more."
Xu Hui couldn't help laughing. She did have some left, so she took them all out and passed them quietly.
The bubble suddenly expanded and rolled up all the candies, but the little guy seemed unsatisfied. He hid the things, looked over here, and even transformed into a fish tail, swinging it around. He was clever and cute.
The priestess smiled and said to Xu Hui, "Those are gifts for you. Choose one. Perhaps you can choose the Mirage Marrow."
"What does Mirage Marrow look like?" Xu Hui asked.
The priestess raised an eyebrow, "It can transform, perhaps into anything you see."
ah?
