Douluo: Becoming Qian Renxue

Chapter 277 Illusion
Zhu Zhuqing felt as if her head was about to explode. The severe pain was unbearable for her and her body began to tremble uncontrollably.

Suddenly, she spat out a mouthful of blood and the scene in front of her began to become blurry.

This is the sound of the illusion being shattered.

In this illusory world, everything was so real, but now, with this loud noise, all the illusions disappeared. Zhu Zhuqing finally broke free from that terrible dream and returned to reality.

She suddenly opened her eyes and found herself still in the room. The scene just now seemed like just a nightmare, leaving her with lingering fears.

Zhu Zhuqing turned around slowly, as if she had lost all her strength, and walked towards the bathroom with unsteady steps, preparing to wash her face so that she could feel more awake.

The cold water brushed across her face, bringing a hint of coolness and making Zhu Zhuqing a little more sober. She raised her head and looked at herself in the mirror, her eyes full of confusion and helplessness.

"What's wrong with me?" Zhu Zhuqing whispered to herself, her voice a little hoarse.

The mirror reflected her pale face and everything around her. She shook her head gently, as if trying to get rid of the distracting thoughts in her mind.

Suddenly, her pupils shrank sharply, as if she remembered something. She reached out and picked up a sharp dagger from the side, and stabbed her fingers without hesitation.

The severe pain hit her instantly, and Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but gasp, but at the same time it also made her completely sober.

She looked down at her pierced finger, blood was constantly flowing out, staining the fingertip red, and her eyes fell on the surrounding environment.

Not right.

She finally seemed to regain some consciousness and looked at her surroundings with panic in her heart.

This room was too neat and clean, without any signs of clutter. Moreover, the furniture here was neatly arranged and spotless, and even the air was filled with a fresh smell.

This is not the home they are familiar with!

Could it be that all this is an illusion?
It’s like a dream within a dream!
Zhu Zhuqing felt a strong sense of uneasiness in her heart. In the City of Slaughter, a place where ordinary people could not use their soul skills, who had the ability to make the two of them fall into an illusion?

She turned her head, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, and found that Hu Liena had actually fallen asleep. Her heart sank, and she quickly ran forward to check.

I saw that Hu Liena's nine-tailed fox martial spirit had possessed the body, and the nine furry tails were swaying gently in the air, as if protecting her master.

Zhu Zhuqing took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She knew that if this was really an illusion, then they had to find a way to leave here as soon as possible. Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous. She gritted her teeth and decided to wake up Hu Liena first.

"Sister Nana! Wake up!"

Zhu Zhuqing shook Hu Liena's body vigorously, but she didn't respond. Hu Liena's face became paler and paler, as if she had lost her vitality. Zhu Zhuqing was extremely worried, and she reached out to touch her cheek, feeling a piercing cold.

"How to do?"

Zhu Zhuqing's mind was in a mess, and she didn't know what to do. Suddenly, she looked at the wound on her hand.

She hardened her heart, pulled out the sharp dagger from her waist, and stabbed Hu Liena's finger without hesitation. Bright red blood gushed out instantly and dripped onto the ground.

Hu Liena frowned slightly, as if she felt pain.

After a while, she finally slowly opened her eyes and looked around in confusion. When she saw Zhu Zhuqing in front of her, she finally woke up completely.

"I...what's wrong with me?"

Hu Liena's voice was a little hoarse, her face was pale, cold sweat was pouring down her forehead, and there was a look of fear on her face. Obviously, she had just experienced a nightmare like Zhu Zhuqing.

"You just fell into a hallucination and have been sleeping the whole time."

Zhu Zhuqing explained briefly, while vigilantly observing the surrounding environment. She didn't know whether this illusion had ended or whether new dangers would continue to appear.

Hu Liena's heart sank, and she stood up from the bed, looking around with serious eyes. She felt a chill coming over her, as if something was secretly watching them. She couldn't help but shudder, remembering the dream she had just had.

She realized that she and Zhu Zhuqing were trapped in a terrible illusion!

No wonder, no wonder she suddenly returned to her past life when she and Sister Xue'er were forced into a desperate situation on the isolated island by Tang San and others. That feeling of despair and helplessness made her heart ache, and she never wanted to experience such pain again.

In this nightmare scene, when Hu Liena saw Qian Renxue disappear in front of her, a heart-wrenching pain surged into her heart. At that moment, she seemed to have lost the most important part of her life, and her heart was filled with endless sorrow and regret.

Hu Liena was filled with fear and anger, and she didn't want to recall the painful past. Everything that happened in her previous life was a nightmare to her, and she tried hard to get rid of those shadows. But now, these memories came back to her mind, and she couldn't let go.

Hu Liena looked down at the wound on her hand that was still dripping with blood, and glanced at Zhu Zhuqing with gratitude. She did not ask Zhu Zhuqing what she had experienced in the dream, because she knew that no one would be willing to recall those painful and infuriating things.

The two looked at each other, and each could feel the complex emotions in the other's heart.

Hu Liena raised her head and looked at the surrounding environment, and found that the place they were in was still an illusion. She held Zhu Zhuqing's hand tightly, slowly opened the door, and walked out of the room.

As soon as they stepped out of the door, a dazzling white light hit them in the face, stinging their eyes and making them feel a little uncomfortable.

After adapting for a while, the two opened their eyes and found that the path in front of them was filled with various corpses, emitting a foul smell. The sky was filled with a strange red light, as if it was stained red with blood.

Hu Liena and Zhu Zhuqing held their short swords tightly and walked forward cautiously. Every step they took was extremely cautious, for fear of alerting the dangers that might be hidden around them. They observed their surroundings vigilantly, ready to deal with any emergency at any time.

Zhu Zhuqing moved her fingers slightly and frowned: "Sister Nana, I feel like my soul skills are ready to use!"

Hu Liena raised her eyebrows and asked doubtfully, "Have we walked out of the City of Slaughter?"

This is obviously unlikely.

The only exit of the City of Slaughter is the Hell Road. Moreover, this is the territory of the God Shura. Hu Liena knows this very well.
