Chapter 432: Mirage Demon Borrows Treasures [Subscribe]

Why did Ukulu, the chief priest of the scaly frog tribe, ask Zhou Chun for help?

This story began half a year ago.

It turned out that just half a year ago, a powerful third-level mirage monster came to the outer area of ​​Longyuanze.

Somehow, this monster regarded the Scaled Frog Alien Warlock as food, and specifically hunted the Scaled Frog Alien Warlock and some ordinary Scaled Frog Aliens as food.

Although the mirage monster's appetite is not very large, it can be full by eating only a few scale frog alien warlocks in one meal.

But I can’t stand eating it once every three days, or ten times a month!
The alien warlock of the Scaled Frog race was originally the guardian and patron saint of the tribe.

As a result, it has now become food for monsters.

How could such a thing not make the frogs panic, and make Ukulu, the chief priest of the scaly frog tribe, shocked and angry.

But just when High Priest Ukulu gathered his men to kill the mirage, he found that he could not break the opponent's illusion at all.

Instead, he fell into an illusion without realizing it and killed several second-level warlocks he brought with him with his own hands.

In the end, it seemed that the mirage was afraid that he would kill all its food reserves, so it let him and the other warlocks leave and only took away a few corpses.

After this incident, not only did Ukulu's own prestige plummet, but he also became afraid of the mirage monster from the bottom of his heart.

Even if Zhou Chun did not come to the Scaled Frog alien tribe at this time, he was planning to find a way to ask the Zhou family for help.

After listening to Wukulu's tearful accusation, Zhou Chun hesitated for a moment, then quickly nodded and said, "I understand. The Scaled Frog Tribe is our Zhou family's partner, and High Priest Wukulu is my good friend. I will definitely do my best to help resolve this matter."

Upon hearing this, Wukulu was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed to express his gratitude with the highest courtesy: "Daoyou Zhou, I am very grateful to you. Now I will leave everything to you!"

"Fellow Daoist Wukulu, you are too polite. I would also like to ask you to tell me the magical power and location of the mirage monster."

Zhou Chun waved his hand and immediately asked Ukulu for details.

Mirage monster is actually just a general term, mainly referring to those monsters such as clam monsters and snail monsters whose main magical power is the illusion of mirage.

Generally speaking, these monsters have some other magical powers besides illusion.

In fact, mirage monsters are not uncommon in Longyuanze, and the scaled frog aliens have encountered quite a few of them before.

However, most mirage monsters are only first-level monsters, and only a few can grow to the second level.

A mirage monster that grows to the third level is a rare sight in a thousand years, and it is almost impossible for it to appear in the outer area of ​​Longyuanze.

However, what made Zhou Chun speechless was that even though hundreds of people were eaten by the mirage monster, Ukulu still didn't even know what kind of monster the mirage monster was.

All we know is that every time the mirage appears, a signature mist will emerge from the water surface and underwater. Any Scale Frog Warlock who enters it will be unknowingly pulled into the illusion woven by the magic.

So Zhou Chun had no choice but to stay in the Scaled Frog Alien Tribe and wait for the mirage monster to appear again.

After waiting for two days, news came that the mirage monster had appeared again and eaten frogs.

Upon hearing the news, Zhou Chun rushed to the scene with Ukulu.

"This is it. The mirage monster appeared here before, but I don't know where it has gone now!"

Above a water area close to the shore, Wukulu and Zhou Chun stood in the air together, pointing at the water area below and recounting what their tribesmen said.

After hearing what he said, Zhou Chun didn't say much. He just closed his eyes and used his spiritual sense to search for any remaining breath in the water.

After such a careful search, he indeed discovered a faint scent of demonic beasts.

"follow me!"

Zhou Chun let out a low shout, immediately locked onto that aura and chased after it.

However, after chasing for only a few dozen miles, Zhou Chun lost the sense of that aura, as if the other party had disappeared there.

He looked at his surroundings and found that he had arrived at a shallow beach covered with reefs.

This place is just ordinary. It seems that even a first-level monster, let alone a third-level monster, would not choose to live here.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, have you lost me?"

Wukulu waited for a long time, but saw no other movement from Zhou Chun, so he couldn't help but ask.

Zhou Chun did not give a direct answer, but looked at him and said, "How about this, Brother Wukulu, you go back to the tribe first, and I will look for it around here. If we don't find it, we can only wait for it to appear again."

"Okay, then Brother Zhou, take care of yourself!"

Wukulu looked at Zhou Chun in surprise, then nodded and left alone.

After Ukulu left, Zhou Chun flew directly to the shore not far away, then restrained his breath and waited slowly.

Although it seems unlikely, Zhou Chun suspects that the mirage monster might be hiding on this rocky beach.

So he decided to wait and wait for the mirage to come out by itself.

After waiting for most of the day, until the moon was at its highest point in the sky, different changes finally appeared on the rocky beach.

I saw a wisp of mist rising from somewhere, suddenly blocking all the waters around the rocky beach.

This mist was so strange that even Zhou Chun’s spiritual sense could not detect its existence. He had to rely on his naked eyes to see it.

This shows that they are not mist formed by condensation of water vapor, but phantom mist formed by the power of illusion.

"What a powerful illusion fog! I wonder if my consciousness can remain unaffected by it!"

Zhou Chun looked at the curling mist with twinkling eyes, and began to ponder in his heart.

He has always been confident in his own spiritual awareness. Even the "Sword of God-Slaying" that Murong Luo used at that time only made him lose his mind for a while.

However, the third-level mirage monster is definitely not an ordinary creature. Its illusion power can easily play with Ukulu, a third-level sorcerer, in the palm of its hand, which shows how powerful it is.

You know, Ukulu had made sufficient preparations at that time, and he also had those spiritual objects that could calm the mind and concentrate the spirit in his hands.

Therefore, to be on the safe side, Zhou Chun did not rush out immediately, but slapped the spirit beast bag on his waist, released some "Blue Moon Butterflies", and then drove them to fly towards the phantom fog area, and by the way, used the "Insect Puppet Technique" to possess a demon butterfly.

As a result, not long after these demon butterflies flew into the illusion fog area, Zhou Chun suddenly felt a pain in his consciousness and lost control of the demon butterflies that possessed him.

"Has it been discovered?"

Zhou Chun stroked his forehead with his hand to ease the pain, then looked at the phantom mist that had not changed at all, and soon shook his head slightly and said: "No, it should not be discovered, but eaten!"

He made this judgment because the contractual connection between himself and those "Blue Moon Butterflies" had been completely severed, which is a situation that only occurs when the contract object dies.

It is estimated that the mirage demon discovered that the "Blue Moon Butterfly" is also good at the power of illusion like itself, and regarded it as a delicacy.

When Zhou Chun carefully recalled the scenes he had seen through the "Insect Puppet Technique" before, he found that apart from the fog, there was nothing worth mentioning.

This made him realize that he could only find the mirage monster by entering the phantom fog himself.

"It's a pity that I didn't bring Mu Mei this time, otherwise it would have been safer with her."

Zhou Chun secretly thought it was a pity, but now he could only try to see how powerful the mirage monster was.

He just raised his hand and patted the storage bag on his waist, and took out a talisman and a jade bottle.

Then he poured out an ice-blue pill from the jade bottle and put it into his mouth, then put the talisman into his sleeve as a backup.

Then he flew into the misty area under the protection of the [Black Water Turtle Shield].

And just as Zhou Chun entered the mist area, the mist suddenly surged violently as if frightened by something.

At the same time, Zhou Chun's vision suddenly became blurred. The mist and rocky beaches that he had seen with his naked eyes disappeared, and a deep and dark underwater cave appeared instead. When he looked into the depths of the cave, he immediately met two lantern-sized golden vertical pupils.

It would be fine if he didn't look at it, but once he did, Zhou Chun's heart tightened with fear, and his spirit instantly tensed to the extreme!

Because it was an extremely huge black dragon head, and the dragon body behind the head was so long that the tail could not be seen, and no one knew how long it was.

The aura he exuded made Zhou Chun dare not even breathe loudly.

At that moment, he felt his own insignificance, as small as an ant facing an elephant!

But this sense of horror only lasted for a few breaths, and he quickly regained consciousness.

"No, I got caught!"

Zhou Chun's expression changed slightly, and he immediately waved his hand and shot out a golden blade of light to slash at the black dragon head.

Sure enough, the golden blade of light easily passed through the black dragon head and finally hit an unknown place.

But even though he had already seen that this was an illusion, Zhou Chun could not tell the difference between the illusion and reality, whether he scanned with his spiritual sense or looked around with his naked eyes.

Even the aura emanating from the black dragon head is still so lifelike and thrilling.

Zhou Chun swallowed the pill in his mouth with some disbelief, and observed it carefully again with the help of the cool scent emitted by the pill, but still found nothing.

"What a powerful illusion technique!"

He cried out in shock, knowing that his action would probably be fruitless.

He could now see that he was in an illusion, but he was unable to see through the illusion and find the true form of the mirage monster.

Since we can't even find the opponent's true body, how can we kill him?

However, the mirage monster seemed to know that he was not easy to deal with, and apart from trapping him in an illusion, it did not launch any other attacks on him.

After an unknown amount of time had passed, Zhou Chun suddenly felt that the power of the illusion had dissipated a lot, and he finally saw a way out.

I saw him move and fly towards a certain direction, and then he flew out of the illusion smoothly.

But at this time, there was no trace of the mirage monster on the reef beach, only the phantom mist that was constantly dissipating.

It was obvious that the mirage monster had fled away from here after trapping Zhou Chun.

"This mirage monster is probably not an ordinary third-level mirage monster!"

Zhou Chun thought of the lifelike black dragon in the illusion, and a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.

Generally speaking, the illusions of beings like mirage monsters mainly affect other creatures in two ways. One is to start from the other creatures' own consciousness and induce the beauty or fear in other creatures' hearts through illusions; the other is to start from their own subjective consciousness and directly transform into certain powerful beings and secret realms that they have seen.

There is no difference between the two, they just represent two directions of illusion.

The former is more bizarre and difficult to guard against, while the latter is so real that it can be mistaken for the real thing.

For example, the black dragon head that Zhou Chun saw earlier, you said it was fake, and it is indeed.

However, if the mirage monster really fights with Zhou Chun, it will definitely be able to demonstrate powerful attacking and killing power.

And even if Zhou Chun knew it was fake, he couldn't escape from the illusion in time.

On the contrary, if an illusion is used to induce the beauty and fear in Zhou Chun's heart, the illusion will naturally break as long as Zhou Chun wakes up.

However, a truly sophisticated illusion often uses both at the same time, causing people to die without even realizing it.

The black dragon head that the mirage monster had previously transformed into was so lifelike, and the underwater cave environment was difficult to distinguish between real and fake, which showed that it must have been to that place before and met the owner of the black dragon head.

Zhou Chun suspected that the owner of the black dragon head might be a fifth-level demon king!
That's why he felt that the mirage monster had complicated backgrounds.

At this time, after looking at the water and thinking for a long time, Zhou Chun went straight back to the alien tribe of the Scaled Frog.

"Fellow Daoist Wukulu, the illusion of the mirage monster is quite powerful. I am not sure I can kill it now. I have to go back to the family to prepare. Please be patient for a while."

In the alien tribe of scaly frogs, Zhou Chun, who had returned, looked at the high priest Ukulu and told him his plan in a deep voice.

After hearing what he said, High Priest Ukulu sighed and finally agreed.

Zhou Chun then returned directly to his family.

After returning to Jingguo, Zhou Chun and Zhou Mingde explained the situation and went directly to the Su family in Jiangzhou.

As far as Zhou Chun knew, Su Yuzhen's aunt, Su Yunniang, was also a master of illusion, proficient in the art of illusion and charm.

So he wanted to consult Su Yunniang through his Taoist partner Su Yuzhen to see if he could get her guidance and help.

Knowing that his lover needed help, Su Yuzhen naturally did not hesitate and immediately took Zhou Chun to the Yuelun Sect's mountain gate to meet his aunt Su Yunniang.

"Oh, I was wondering what the wind was blowing today. You actually came with Yu Zhen to visit me, your aunt. It turns out you have something to ask for!"

Inside the cave, after Su Yunniang learned the purpose of Zhou Chun's visit, she sneered and immediately mocked him.

This made Zhou Chun feel quite embarrassed.

Although he definitely did not mean this, the fact is that there is indeed such suspicion and it is difficult to refute.

Fortunately, Su Yuzhen knew how to care for others. Seeing this, she immediately stepped forward and grabbed Su Yunniang's arm, shaking her body and saying coquettishly, "Aunt, what are you talking about? My husband and I are usually devoted to hard practice. We don't even meet each other often. How can we deliberately ignore you? Besides, you have just succeeded in forming the elixir not long ago. It's time for you to practice your magical powers. How can we come here often to disturb your practice?"

Seeing this, Su Yunniang stretched out her hand and gently pinched her cheek and said angrily, "You just keep speaking for him. It's true that when a girl grows up, she forgets her aunt after she gets a husband!"

"That's not true. Even if I forget anyone, I won't forget you, my aunt. From childhood to adulthood, you have loved me the most!"

Su Yuzhen took the opportunity to move herself closer to Su Yunniang's arms and hugged her like a daughter hugging her mother.

After her jokes, the embarrassed Zhou Chun finally thought of a response.

He immediately said respectfully, "Aunt, you are right. I have indeed come to your place less often before. When I have free time in the future, I will definitely come with Yu Zhen to pay my respects to you."

"Then remember what I said today. I am waiting to see your performance."

Su Yunniang glanced at him and said lightly.

But he stopped there and didn't really embarrass Zhou Chun any further.

After carefully asking Zhou Chun about his needs, she thought for a moment and said to him, "Since you have come to me for help, I cannot let you go back empty-handed."

"How about this, I have a third-grade top-grade magic weapon called 'Colorless Illusion Pearl'. This treasure can be used to cast illusions to confuse the enemy, and it can also release auras that break illusions to destroy and interfere with illusions. I can lend this treasure to you for use temporarily."

As she spoke, she raised her hand and patted the storage bag on her waist, then took out a colorless and transparent gem magic weapon and waved it to Zhou Chun.

"Thank you, aunt, for lending me the treasure!"

Zhou Chun caught the pearl and bowed to express his gratitude.

Su Yunniang looked at him solemnly and said, "Although this item is not a magic weapon, it is also a magic weapon inherited from my predecessors in the sect. It is considered a thing of the sect. You must use it well and not damage it, otherwise I will be punished by the sect."

"Yes, I understand. I will definitely protect this thing."

Zhou Chun's heart trembled, and he immediately agreed with a serious face.

Next, Su Yunniang explained to Zhou Chun some tips on how to break illusions, and also explained the usage of the "Colorless Illusion Pearl".

After Zhou Chun remembered everything, he said goodbye to Su Yunniang and his Taoist partner Su Yuzhen and left.

Damn, I was emo late at night. Before I got up this morning, my mom called to tell me my birthday. It was really after I turned 25. Time passed by and I was already 29 in the blink of an eye. Now I don’t have a car or a house, and I don’t have a girlfriend. My family calls me every now and then to urge me to find a partner. I dare not go home! It’s so uncomfortable! I cooked a meal by myself at noon and drank a bottle of wine. The food that I used to enjoy with relish was really tasteless. I felt even more uncomfortable at night! I feel even more uncomfortable after writing this. That’s it for today. I’m going to go out for a walk and drink some wine to numb myself!
