I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 180 The land of youth!

Zhang Chen and Mahabrahma Demon have different opinions. Zhang Chen believes that the spiritual world before him is real, but Mahabrahma Demon does not believe in Zhang Chen's ability to see through illusions. He thinks that they have fallen into an illusion. Mahabrahma Demon even has his eyes on Zhang Chen.

The yellow sand was endless. Zhang Chen walked from the night into the day, and from the day into the night. After walking for half a month, he finally saw an oasis in the distance.

"I always feel strange when I enter the spiritual world this time. I have been in the spiritual world for half a month, but have not returned yet. Fortunately, the flow rate of the spiritual world is different from that of the material world, and I don’t know how long it has been in the outside world. But there is no need to worry. If the time is really up, the fox fairy Nannan will definitely wake me up." Zhang Chen walked in the yellow sand, but his heart was peaceful. The spiritual world was full of wonders, so he was not worried about the problem of the flow of time.

The bright moon was hanging low in the sky, and a wisp of purple air emerged from the east, dispelling the obscurity between heaven and earth. Zhang Chen left a faint trace in the yellow sand.

"There is an oasis ahead!" Zhang Chen's eyes lit up as he looked at the tall trees.

"It really is a ghost." The Great Freedom Demon was shocked as he stared at the oasis in the distance, with disbelief in his eyes.

According to his understanding, since the two of them fell into the illusion, they would of course be trapped in the endless yellow sand illusion until they had a mental breakdown and were trapped to death inside. But now there was an oasis in front of them. What the hell was going on?

It should be noted that the more complex the scenery created, the easier it is for people to see through the illusion. How can there be any change? The energy required to create a desert using an illusion is a thousand times greater than that required to create an oasis using an illusion.

Zhang Chen was unaware of the surprise and doubt in the heart of the Great Freedom Demon. Seeing the oasis in sight and the rising sun in the sky about to jump out of the ground, he quickly sped up and rushed towards the oasis in the distance.

Just as Zhang Chen was walking quickly towards the oasis, he suddenly stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

"Ouch~"

A scream came from the yellow sand under Zhang Chen's feet.

Zhang Chen quickly steadied himself and turned his head to look over. Then he saw the yellow sand moving and a figure emerged from the sand. Although most of the person's body was covered by the sand, he could tell through the protruding shape that there was a human figure under the sand, and it was a child.

"There are people in the spiritual world?" Zhang Chen was stunned. He suddenly remembered what the fox fairy said. It is said that there are countless fortunes in the spiritual world, and there are magical medicines that can transform into human form...

"My luck has come? I can actually encounter a magical medicine while walking?" Zhang Chen quickly turned back and quickly pushed away the yellow sand. Then he couldn't help but be stunned:
"Is this a magical medicine? This is clearly a person! And a young man at that!"

The young man was wrapped in tattered animal skins, lying quietly in the yellow sand. His body was burning hot and he had a high fever. He was dying, as if he could take his last breath at any time.

The young man's face was pale, his lips were cracked and covered with layers of dead skin, and sweat continued to flow out of his body, wetting the yellow sand around him. He was completely dehydrated.

And on the young man's face, there was a big footprint left, which was clearly left by Zhang Chen when he just walked by.

"There are people in the spiritual world?" Zhang Chen looked at the young man with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"Emperor!!!" When the Great Freedom Demon on the side saw the appearance of the young man in front of him, he couldn't help but exclaimed, his eyes full of disbelief, and a look as if he had seen a ghost.

"What are you shouting for?" Zhang Chen turned his head to look at the Great Freedom Demon, with a question in his eyes. The Great Freedom Demon suppressed his fear and said quickly: "I almost mistook it for a great medicine in human form, and thought it was a goblin great medicine, so I shouted in surprise."

"It doesn't look like Da Yao. It should be a human." Zhang Chen looked the young man up and down for a while. The young man's face had been burned by the sun and was covered with dead skin. He did not look good, but Zhang Chen mastered the blood control technique and could still tell that the young man in front of him was not Da Yao. What flowed in his body was pure blood of living creatures.

"My physical body has appeared in the spiritual world, and countless creatures have appeared in the desert. It would be normal if another person appeared." Zhang Chen gathered clear water and slowly poured it into the young man's mouth, while condensing ice to cool him down.

At this time, the Great Freedom Demon stared at the young man in front of him with a look of disbelief, as if he had seen a ghost. He was stunned there, with countless thoughts flashing in his mind, and he fell into serious self-doubt: "Is this a fantasy? Impossible! This kid has never seen the Emperor, how could there be traces of the Emperor in the fantasy? And he has never been to the time and space of the previous era, how could the scene of the previous era appear in the illusion?"

Whether creating an illusion in one's heart or in the outside world, the illusion is created based on one's thoughts and ideas.

In other words, if Zhang Chen fell into an illusion, then this illusion must be related to what Zhang Chen was thinking.

So at this time, the Great Freedom Demon on the side fell into self-entanglement, and the whole person began to doubt himself. His eyes were full of disbelief. He wiped his eyes vigorously, and then his eyes rolled around, staring at the young man in front of him, wondering what he was thinking.

Over there, Zhang Chen had no idea of ​​what the Great Freedom Demon was thinking. As he controlled the water flow for irrigation and used ice to cool down the boy, the boy's breath gradually stabilized.

Seeing this, Zhang Chen dissipated his water control technique, looked at the scorching sun in the sky, and directly carried the young man on his shoulders and headed towards the dense forest in the distance.

Zhang Chen walked quickly and finally arrived under the shade of the tree when the sun rose.

The tree was very large and tall. When I got closer, I found that the tree was probably thirty meters high, and the trunk was so thick that it was three meters around.

Unlike the yellow sand outside, it was very cool under the shade of the trees. Dew condensed between the branches of the big trees. Drops of dew were as big as fists, hanging between the branches of the big trees. Zhang Chen was surprised: Dew drops as big as fists were very strange!

Zhang Chen thought about it and the dew on the big tree gathered and turned into a water ball. After washing himself, he washed the young man on the ground before looking around.

The tree was so tall, but there was knee-high grass growing on the ground, which seemed to be unaffected by the towering tree.

"Hmm? There are a lot of animals in the jungle." Zhang Chen's eyes showed a hint of surprise. As Zhang Chen's beast-taming skill was activated, there were dozens of animals within just 500 meters. However, these animals were a little big, like a group of antelopes or something like that.

Zhang Chen activated his beast-controlling skill, and the next moment he sensed an animal hopping over to him. But when the little animal came close, Zhang Chen was stunned: "Rabbit?"

But isn't this rabbit too big? An antelope-sized rabbit?

The rabbit obediently accepted death under the beast taming technique. Zhang Chen placed his hand on the rabbit's neck and stretched out two fangs, sucking the rabbit's blood dry.

"But how do we start a fire and smoke it?"

Zhang Chen thought for a moment, looked at the worn leather on the young man's body, collected some fallen branches and leaves, and used the ice to make a magnifying glass. At this time, the sun rose and soon the bonfire was burning fiercely.

Zhang Chen held an ice knife in his hand and cut open the rabbit. Soon the aroma of barbecue wafted into the air.

Zhang Chen tore off a rabbit leg and ate it with relish. Meanwhile, the Great Freedom Demon kept pacing around the young man, as if thinking about some difficult problem. "You seem to be very interested in him?" Zhang Chen said to the Great Freedom Demon while eating the rabbit leg.

“I just feel that it’s a little strange to see living beings in the spiritual world.” said the Great Freedom Demon.

"It is indeed very strange, because the spiritual world in front of us is completely different from the spiritual world recorded in the outside world. In the spiritual world recorded in the outside world, there are only mysteries and elixirs, but there is no mention of living beings in the spiritual world." Zhang Chen said while gnawing on a rabbit leg.

As he was talking, the young man called out faintly, then slowly opened his eyes and said weakly, "Who are you? Where am I?"

The young man's voice was strange, and Zhang Chen couldn't understand it: "What language?"

"You don't understand?" The Great Freedom Demon looked at Zhang Chen, his heart becoming more and more panicked. You know, this is Zhang Chen's illusion, how could there be something beyond Zhang Chen's cognition?

The only explanation is that this is not an illusion at all!

You should know that all illusions are derived from the target of the "effect" and will never exceed the target's cognition.

The Great Freedom Demon looked at Zhang Chen, then looked at the young man in front of him. His eyes were a little vague, and he was very nervous and a little excited.

"He is asking who you are?" Seeing that Zhang Chen didn't understand, Mahadeva translated for Zhang Chen.

"Can you understand what he says?" Zhang Chen asked the Great Freedom Demon curiously.

"This is an extremely ancient language, born in a very long time ago." The expression on the face of the Great Freedom Demon was very strange.

Zhang Chen picked up a rabbit leg and handed it to the young man: "This is for you."

The young man could not understand Zhang Chen’s words, and Mahadeva could only translate in one direction because the young man could not see Mahadeva’s true form.

Although the two of them did not speak the same language, the young man instantly understood what Zhang Chen meant. He climbed up and walked in front of Zhang Chen, carefully took the rabbit leg, and stuffed it into his mouth voraciously.

“Can you teach me this language?” Zhang Chen glanced at the young man who was eating voraciously, and then looked at the Great Freedom Demon.

"You underestimate my ability. You just need to release the protective golden light. I can directly teach you this language and you will understand it instantly. There is no need to learn it bit by bit." said the Great Freedom Demon.

Hearing what Great Freedom Demon said, Zhang Chen's eyes were full of amusement. If he hadn't mastered the skill to pull out Great Freedom Demon at any time, he would have to be afraid of this guy.

But now that he has mastered the second-level soul-snatching skill, if the other party wants to do something, he can only say that the other party is overthinking it.

Just when Zhang Chen was thinking that the Great Freedom Demon was trying to blackmail him, the Great Freedom Demon said, "But I can teach you the language, but you have to let me go for a while."

"Leave? Where to?" Zhang Chen was stunned when he heard that.

Hearing this, the Great Freedom Demon smiled grimly: "Come and see what interesting things there are in the first heaven of the spiritual world! You also know that I have lived for countless years and have been to the first heaven several times. In the past, I left some good fortune in the first heaven of the spiritual world. Now I think it's time to grow up."

"Huh?" Zhang Chen was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that living a long life would have such benefits.

Seeing Zhang Chen's expression, the Great Freedom Demon thought that Zhang Chen was also greedy, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry, if there really is a great medicinal herb, I will definitely benefit you after I get it."

Zhang Chen glanced at the Great Freedom Demon and said, "I agree to this deal. Just go ahead. But when you teach me the language, you won't do anything secretly, right?"

“Since you know that I have mastered the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation, you should know how powerful the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation is.” Zhang Chen looked at the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon.

"Don't worry, I know the seriousness of the situation. I just think this place is a little weird, so I want you to master some skills so that you can survive better."

The Great Freedom Demon transformed into a black lotus, and then a petal fell and landed in front of Zhang Chen. Then the Great Freedom Demon transformed into a human form, pointed at the petals that fell on the ground and said: "As long as you use your magic power to melt the petals, you can gain the ability to communicate with language."

"Could this be a demon species?" Zhang Chen looked at the Great Freedom Demon.

"You think too much. I know I can't plant the devil's seed in your body, so why would I waste my energy on it? And I know that I can't fool your eyes!" said the Great Freedom Demon.

"Even if you really take out the demon seed, I'm not afraid!" Zhang Chen picked up the flower petals on the ground, checked them with his magic eyes, and found that there was no problem. Then he used his magic power to wrap the petals. The petals turned into a black smoke and sank into Zhang Chen's body.

Sure enough, a piece of information flowed through Zhang Chen's mind, and he had inexplicably mastered a language.

At the same time, the soul-catching skill was activated, and Zhang Chen did not realize that there were demon seeds left by the Great Freedom Demon on his body.

"You are a good person now." Zhang Chen looked at the Great Freedom Demon.

The Great Free Demon did not bother to pay attention to Zhang Chen. He now had more important and exciting things to do. His figure flashed and turned into a puff of black smoke and disappeared into the air.

"What's your name?" Zhang Chen looked at the young man who was eating voraciously and tried to ask using the newly acquired language.

Although it was a newly learned language, it was not obscure at all, as if he had mastered it naturally.

"My name is 'Di', meaning earth." The boy stopped swallowing and answered solemnly, "I haven't asked for your name yet."

"Your name is so strange, it only has one character." Zhang Chen replied in surprise, and then introduced himself: "My name is Zhang Chen!"

As he spoke, Zhang Chen looked at the boy's face full of burns. He felt that the boy looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before (in a dream): "Why are you here alone?"
