Maybe I shouldn't die.

But no, there has never been any record of this kind of monster in the cultivation world.

Even if it is a monster, there is no one with such a strange appearance.

Fang Yue couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

These monsters tangled together in a mess outside really looked like the scenes described in some horror novels or comics in her previous life.

Entanglement, confusion, devouring, a mess of heads and tentacles.

Although this monster has no name, she has seen similar scenes many times, so she couldn't help but have some guesses in her mind.

Especially after her two senior brothers searched their own memories and found no relevant records about this type of monster, she felt more and more that her guess was very likely to be true.

So she said:

"Is it possible that these monsters outside are just part of an illusion and they don't actually exist?"

Her words made Fu Shi and Xia Weizhi fall into deep thought. After a moment, they said:

"It's not impossible. Everything in this city is illusory. It's not impossible that there are more illusory monsters."

Fu Shi said hesitantly:

"Junior sister, have you ever seen a similar scene?"

As he said this, he looked at Fang Yue, as if observing the changes in her expression.

Fang Yue was slightly stunned, then nodded and said:

"I've seen similar scenes in some fictional literary works."

At the same time, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart that Senior Brother Fu was really sensitive to emotions.

Fictional literature? What is that?

Fu Shi couldn't help but feel confused, but he quickly reacted.

It is very likely that he is talking about something like a storybook.

The storybook! He seemed to have remembered something, and instantly stopped dwelling on it and asked:

"Should we go out and investigate?"

Yes, this is such an unusual situation, do we need to go out and investigate directly?

A mysterious city, an unknown aura that can influence one's mind, unknown monsters entangled and fighting each other, and the blood moon hanging high above the city...

When these are combined together, there are problems no matter how you look at it.

This is only the first day in the secret realm. Do they really want to rush out and face such a strange scene without enough information?

This is a question worth pondering.

The three brothers and sisters thought about it for a long time, and finally Xia Weizhi made the final decision:

"Let's wait a little longer. Didn't the middle-aged guard say that he would take us around the city the next day? Moreover, I still need time to verify the extent of the impact of that strange aura on the cultivators' state of mind."

This made sense, Fang Yue and Fu Shi were immediately convinced, and they nodded and said:

"Just do as Senior Brother says. We still have plenty of time. There's no need to rush."

"Yeah, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Since the situation is unclear, let's wait a little longer and at least find more clues before making a decision."

The three of them reached an agreement.

But not going out doesn't mean they won't continue to observe the situation outside.

Perhaps it was because the bee puppet was really deceptive, or perhaps it was because the monsters were not interested in the puppets.

The puppet's work was completed smoothly.

The three brothers and sisters continued to observe the images appearing in the magic mirror until daybreak, when the light from the blood moon above their heads began to slowly fade.

After the bloody moonlight disappeared, that mysterious aura began to slowly recede from the city, and the monsters that were entangled and fighting each other in the picture also showed signs of separating.

The scene seems to be slowly becoming calm.

Until the sky in the east turned pale and the golden light of the morning sun shone on the streets.

Then, the three brothers and sisters saw an extremely horrifying scene.

The monsters that had already separated and were no longer entangled, their messy heads and tentacles began to slowly melt away.

It's really melting.

Under the shining golden morning light, it melted away bit by bit, turned into light spots and disappeared into the air, without leaving any trace.

At the same time, the monster's originally huge body was getting smaller and smaller...

In the end, only a human figure was left!

Humanoid? people?

Are all those monsters transformed from humans?

The three brothers and sisters couldn't help but look at each other, and they saw shock in each other's eyes.

But this shock was not very strong. After all, at this moment, in their cognition, all this was just an illusion.

Since it is a fictional illusion, it is acceptable even if it is so outrageous that it has no logic.

Despite thinking this in their minds, the three of them immediately walked towards the window.

It seemed that he wanted to observe and confirm whether the outside world had really returned to normal.

At the same time, Xia Weizhi lowered his head and asked Tuntun in his arms:

“Is there still that strange, unknown aura around?”

"Jiji."

“When did it disappear?”

"Jiji."

"Is there any other smell around now?"

"Jiji."

"Okay, I got it. Thank you, Tuntun."

After the conversation ended, he looked up at Fang Yue and Fu Shi and said:

"That unknown aura that makes us restless disappeared after the blood moon receded. It should be related to the blood moon, or it should be part of the blood moon itself."

"So, Senior Brother Xia, how do you feel now? Is the influence of that aura still there on you?"

Fang Yue looked out of the open window and asked him with concern.

There is no difference between the scene outside and that in the magic mirror.

Under the golden morning light, countless people who had recovered woke up and then calmly went about their own business.

Continuing to look at the expressions on their faces, it seemed that they had no impression of turning into monsters at night, or maybe they had already become accustomed to such experiences?

Fang Yue didn't know which truth was.

But at this moment, she felt that every figure in her sight was a little inconsistent, as if the other person could turn into a huge monster in the blink of an eye.

Is it a psychological effect?

Xia Weizhi's answer interrupted her thoughts:

"It still exists, but it shows signs of slowly weakening. It shouldn't take long for it to completely dissipate."

Fang Yue collected her thoughts and nodded.

"That's good."

At the same time, he also asked:

"Brothers, do you feel anything unusual when you look at those people outside?"

Hearing this, Xia Weizhi and Fu Shi both looked out the window. After a moment, they shook their heads decisively and said:

"No, he looks like an ordinary monk."

Is that so? Am I the only one who has such an illusion?

Is it really an illusion?

Fang Yue was still a little hesitant, and asked Tun Tun in Xia Weizhi's arms:

"Where's Tuntun? Did you feel anything?"

"Jiji."

Tuntun answered without hesitation.

Although Fang Yue couldn't understand Tuntun's words like Xia Weizhi, she had no problem understanding simple meanings.

Tuntun didn't feel anything unusual either.

Her repeated inquiries naturally attracted Xia Weizhi's attention, and he asked:

"Does Junior Sister Fang feel differently?"

Fang Yue hesitated for a moment, but still expressed her previous feelings.

Regardless of whether it is an illusion or not, just take it as a reminder to the two brothers.
