I am in a strange world, a summoner of mythical beasts

Ji Wei did not act immediately, but used his mental power to sense the surroundings.

The mental power will cover a three-meter range with her as the center.

At the foot of the mountain, rocks of all sizes were scattered around in a disorderly manner.

There is nothing else except these stones.

Three meters behind him, there was still endless darkness as before, as if anything that entered would be swallowed up by the darkness.

This time she observed very carefully, even paying attention to the angle of the stone.

A scene appeared in front of Ji Wei's eyes.

This picture depicts the foot of the mountain.

After she took note of everything here, she continued walking up the mountain.

Every three meters he would stop, use his mental power to sense the surroundings again, and write down all the details.

This time, Ji Wei was slower and it took him nearly four times as long to reach his destination in reality.

Ahead, except for the vaguely visible dead trees on the top of the mountain, the rest of the place was almost empty.

Since she was already in a fantasy when she got here, the roads ahead were not remembered.

After Ji Wei wrote down these scenes one by one, he withdrew from his memory.

In the illusion, Ji Wei opened his eyes and walked straight down the mountain without even looking at the dead tree on the top of the mountain.

She wanted to find out where she fell into this illusion.

When going down the mountain, the same situation as going up the mountain did not occur. Ji Wei compared the images in his mind while walking.

But when she reached the foot of the mountain, she didn't find anything different.

'Nothing unusual was found. Did I overlook something?'

Ji Wei frowned and fell into deep thought.

She didn't find out where she fell into the illusion.

Ji Wei walked up the mountain again.

This time she walked much slower and compared more carefully.

But when we got back to the starting point, we still didn't find anything unusual.

Ji Wei frowned, without stopping, and continued walking down the mountain.

After repeating this several times, she still didn't notice any difference.

'What is going on? Am I not in an illusion?'

On the mountainside, Ji Wei looked a little solemn.

"Is it possible that Shan Gui's illusion is so advanced that it is indistinguishable from reality?"

As soon as this thought came to her mind, she rejected it.

'It's impossible, absolutely impossible. Illusions are illusions after all, not reality. I must have overlooked something.'

Ji Wei raised his head and looked at the dead tree on the top of the mountain.

The dead tree on the top of the mountain is still the same as before, and its size has not changed at all.

Suddenly, Ji Wei's tightly furrowed brows relaxed and a hint of joy appeared in the depths of his eyes.

She knew the difference.

Ji Wei ran down the mountain without any hesitation.

This time she ran very fast and soon reached the foot of the mountain.

She looked up at the dead tree.

Sure enough, the size of the dead tree was exactly the same as the one seen on the mountainside!

"So that's how it is! I was trapped in an illusion from the beginning."

Ji Wei suddenly realized and knew how to break the illusion.

She pretended to throw the God-killer in her hand toward the top of the mountain.

The God Slayer was like a black lightning, carrying with it an extremely domineering sword energy, shooting towards the dead tree.

Unlike Ji Wei, God Slayer was getting closer and closer to the dead tree.

Finally, it actually flew to the dead tree.

With a loud bang, the domineering sword energy chopped on the dead tree.

But the dead tree did not break and there was no wound on its body.

Instead, it trembles like water waves.

On the top of the mountain, the dead tree was shaking more and more violently.

Finally, the tremor slowly spread to the foot of the mountain.

The entire space was shaking like water waves.

Ji Wei only heard the sound of glass breaking, and everything in front of him turned into pieces and disappeared.

……

In reality, at the foot of the mountain.

Qilin looked anxiously at Ji Wei, who was standing there motionless with empty eyes.

It didn't understand why its master seemed to have lost his mind shortly after arriving at this place, standing there motionless and without any reaction.

Qilin tried many methods, whether it was biting Ji Wei or using the five-colored divine light, but without exception, he failed to wake her up.

Even spiritual communication could not wake her up.

Qilin tried for a long time, but Ji Wei remained the same.

There was no other way, it could only stay by his side and wait for Ji Wei to wake up on his own.

Finally, just when Qilin was about to try again, it saw that Ji Wei's eyes had regained their spirit.

As soon as Ji Wei returned to reality, the first thing she saw was Qilin, who had a very happy face.

"Thank you."

She tilted her head back and reached out to touch Qilin's head.

The red flame on the Qilin disappeared before her white and tender little hand got close to it.

"Woo woo." It lowered its head and rubbed happily into Ji Wei's arms. Its cry was very aggrieved, as if it was complaining about where the other party had gone.

"I won't let you worry next time."

Ji Wei said softly, her expression was like snow water after the ice melted, revealing tenderness, not as cold as usual.

But soon, this gentleness was replaced by indifference again, and he returned to his usual expressionless state.

Qilin didn't care at all and circled around her happily.

After calming the Qilin, Ji Wei used his mental power to sense the surroundings.

After making sure that he was no longer in the illusion, he breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, the moment she saw Qilin, she knew she had succeeded.

But Ji Wei did not completely let go of his worry, but chose to carefully sense his surroundings.

However, this time, being trapped in an illusion also allowed her to guess some information about the mountain ghost.

Shangui's illusion is extremely subtle. In addition to changing the surrounding illusion, it can also distort cognition in a subtle way.

Just like just now, when Ji Wei was in the illusion, he always thought that Qilin disappeared on the way up the mountain.

But that was not the case. After she came out of the illusion, she discovered that Qilin had not been in the illusion from the beginning.

It was just that Shan Gui distorted her cognition and memory, which made Ji Wei think so.

It was also because of this that she did not immediately realize that she was already trapped in an illusion when she was at the foot of the mountain.

This experience also gave Ji Wei a wake-up call.

Her understanding of illusions was still too superficial.

Illusions not only distort the illusion, but also cognition. The more sophisticated ones may even distort memories.

Fortunately, Shan Gui has not yet reached such a sophisticated level.

If it really reaches the point where the memory is distorted, Ji Wei might not come out so quickly.

"I still know too little about illusions, and I don't have a strong way to break them."

She was very thankful that this time she only encountered a mountain monster and not any other more powerful beings.

If it weren't for Shan Gui's illusion, it would probably take Ji Wei a long time to realize his own shortcomings.

You have to know that he is now just the incarnation of the mountain ghost, and is only at the peak of level B.

Above level B there are level A, demon generals, and even demon gods.

If Ji Wei really met its real self or the demon general, he would probably have to pay a heavy price.

This time, it can be considered a blessing in disguise for her.

On the top of the mountain, the mountain ghost seemed to sense something.

The action of attacking the iron pot suddenly stopped, and her charming and passionate eyes looked down the mountain.

'Interesting, you were able to break my illusion in such a short time.'
