Chapter 402 Illusion
"We are not monsters!"
Qiao Xixi saw that the one chasing them was actually Kunlin.
The Kunlin ignored their orders, spread its enormous wings, and its feathers transformed into a rain of arrows, which flew rapidly toward the orcs.
"what!"
The orcs were unable to dodge in time, and their bodies were riddled with arrows before they collapsed to the ground with a thud.
Kunlin stepped forward and reached into their bodies, only to find that there were no black beast crystals at all.
His expression changed slightly; these were indeed real orcs.
"Prepare to die, you little monster!"
After the fireball from Scarlet Flame set the monsters ablaze, Tide's fins shot out and sliced open their bellies, retrieving the black beast crystals.
Hearing the commotion, Kunlin noticed the battle unfolding here. As soon as he walked over, he saw Qiao Xixi sitting on Jin Lin's lap.
“Josie female, we’ve finally found you.”
Qiao Xixi had noticed him earlier, but many large trees blocked Kunlin's view, so he didn't see them at first.
Just as Kunlin was about to get closer, Feiyan launched a fireball at him.
A hint of ferocity flashed across Kunlin's cold eyes, and as the firelight reflected from the depths of his pupils grew brighter, he flapped his wings and sent a fireball flying onto the slain monster.
"Crimson Flame, what are you doing?"
Fei Yan raised her hand, wiped the blood from the corner of her eye, and said to Qiao Xixi and the others, "He is Kunlin."
He flew the fireball over just now to verify Kunlin's identity. The Beast Guard had said that when a monster encounters fire, its pupils will turn green, but Kunlin's pupils did not change just now.
Once he was sure that Fei Yan wasn't going to attack him, Kun Lin walked up to Qiao Xixi.
Qiao Xixi looked at him and said, "Kunlin, where did you go just now? You disappeared in the blink of an eye."
Kunlin frowned and said, "When we were flying, we saw white mist suddenly rise below. When we tried to get closer, bee beasts flew out and attacked us. After we dealt with the bee beasts, you disappeared. After that, the city lord came in this direction to look for you."
After Kunlin finished speaking, it suddenly flapped its wings and soared into the sky, letting out a long cry, presumably calling for Huang Yue and the others.
After he returned to the forest, Fei Yan and the others had also dug up all the monsters' beast crystals.
The Crimson Flame Trap wiped the blood off the beast crystal with animal hide, and only after cleaning it did it put the beast crystal into the animal hide bag it carried with it.
"Did you notice anything unusual while you were flying in the sky?"
A tense, cold glint flashed across Kunlin's lips. "Yes, after we flew to a certain altitude, we found that a white mist would rise from the forest, completely obscuring it."
Jin Lin frowned and said, "You mean, even in the sky, you have a hard time finding your way?"
Kunlin nodded, "Yes, looking into the distance, you can only see a forest. As you descend, the white fog will block your view."
Qiao Xixi hadn't expected the Thunder-Swallowing Forest to be so strange. She had been thinking that if Huang Yue and the others could discern directions while flying, she could ask them to help her get them to the vicinity of the watchtower.
It seems this path is not feasible.
Qiao Xixi glanced at the orc lying in a pool of blood and asked in confusion, "I saw you chasing those orcs just now, what happened?"
Kunlin said, "I couldn't find you in the sky, so I chose a direction and landed in the forest. As soon as I landed, those orcs attacked me."
But those orcs didn't look like they were possessed by monsters.
After confirming that all the monsters' beast crystals had been extracted, Falcon Owl turned to Josie and said, "Let's leave here first."
Qiao Xixi nodded.
So many orcs have already died in such a short time since we came in.
"No wonder the people of Beast King City told us to leave Beast King City immediately after the sacrifice."
If all the male beastmen in Beast King City who awaken their beast souls have to enter this hellish place for training, then very few of them will actually leave alive. They walked a little further ahead, and suddenly the surrounding sounds became noisy.
Every now and then, you can hear shouts and sounds of fighting, as well as talking and walking.
It gave Qiao Xixi the illusion that she had suddenly returned to the real mountains and forests.
Did you see that deer just now?
"What? You encountered a monster?"
"What monster? It was just a fat, strong deer-like beast. I almost caught it, but those kids scared it away as soon as they rushed over."
Qiao Xixi glanced to her left and saw a group of orcs walking and chatting, with relaxed and carefree expressions on their faces, not at all like they were fighting monsters.
"It's so sunny in this forest. The trees are so lush, how come I'm still feeling so uncomfortable from the sun?"
"I feel the same way. It's so hot, I can't stand it. I need to find a water source. I'm so thirsty from the heat."
Josie turned to look to her right in surprise. On the other side of the forest, the sunlight was dazzling, a stark contrast to their dark and cold surroundings. Many of the orcs were sweating profusely from the heat.
Qiao Xixi blinked hard, feeling that she must be hallucinating. Otherwise, how could there be three completely different scenes in the same forest over such a short distance?
No matter how many times she blinked, she saw the same scene as before when she looked left and right.
"Is it true?"
"Xixi, what are you looking at?"
Fei Yan's voice came from behind her. Just as Qiao Xixi was about to turn around, a little demon's scream and explosion rang in her mind.
"No! No! Host, please don't turn around!"
Suddenly, a blinding white light appeared in front of Qiao Xixi's eyes, so bright that she could barely open them.
Qiao Xixi quickly closed her eyes, took out the bubble fruit and held it in her hand.
"Xixi, Xixi, what's wrong?"
Behind her, Fei Yan's voice grew more urgent, and suddenly a hand landed on her shoulder.
"XiXi, say something! A monster is coming! Get out of the way!"
Fei Yan's scream rang out, and Qiao Xixi suddenly opened her eyes. The sound was so real, but the white light in front of her was too dazzling, and she couldn't see her surroundings at all.
All I could hear were the sounds of fierce fighting.
"Feiyan, how are you? Be careful!" Xijing's exclamation suddenly rang out.
What followed was an even more agonizing scream from Scarlet Flame.
"what!"
"Jin Lin, take Xixi away quickly!"
Qiao Xixi clenched her fists, and just as she was about to turn around, a pale blue halo suddenly struck the white light in front of her.
The white light was repelled by the pale blue halo.
"boom"
The halo shattered instantly, like a mirror.
Qiao Xixi opened her eyes and stared in astonishment at Xi Jing, who was looking at her with concern.
"Xixi, how are you?"
Qiao Xixi wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, her face pale as she shook her head. "I'm fine. What about Fei Yan? Is he alright too?"
Xi Jing shook her head. "It's okay, he's been following us the whole time. You can look back if you don't believe me."
