Reborn as Xiao in another world, targeted by the little red bird

There are two main ways to break free from illusions. One is to use force to overcome all laws.

No matter how fancy or fancy it is, I'll destroy it all.

However, this method is only suitable for a demon using its own body; the strength of the scout's body, which he relies on, does not support him doing so at all.

Therefore, he could only try the second method—

Follow the rules and regulations, and find a breakthrough.

Based on his experience of being trapped in illusions multiple times, Xiao deduced that illusions usually have a target, and the breakthrough point is related to this target.

This is a multi-person illusion, so it's unlikely to be specifically targeted at a single person trapped in the illusion. Therefore, the breakthrough is likely to lie in some key object or the caster himself.

When it comes to key things, the first thing that comes to Xiao's mind is the commanders of the human and magical beast armies, and the passage that connects to the ancient wilderness.

As for the caster, Blood Crown Ghost Willow, Xiao has not yet found any trace of it.

Now that the target has been identified, shouldn't we go and observe it in person...?

Xiao sat on the hospital bed, resting his chin on his hand, lost in thought.

He had just inflicted severe internal injuries on this body. Although he received timely medical treatment and survived, he was not yet fully recovered enough to move freely. If he were to encounter the enemy during his field observation, he would likely lose his life.

This is very embarrassing.

There were more than a dozen other wounded soldiers in the same ward as Xiao. Like Xiao, they had all suffered severe internal injuries for various reasons and were now lying on their beds groaning in pain. Xiao was the only one sitting in the whole room, which made him stand out.

The injured man in the next bed couldn't help but ask, "Dude, I remember you just arrived today, right? Your injuries are already healed?"

“No,” Xiao shook his head slightly and answered casually, “I’m used to this kind of pain.”

"Oh...oh, looks like you've had quite the experience, buddy."

That is.

With one body and three souls, every time someone else takes over the account, there's a risk of the body being destroyed – it's quite a spectacle.

Red demon: cough.

Xiao was thinking about a breakthrough and had no interest in chatting with his fellow patients.

The other party didn't mind and continued, "I almost had my heart ripped out by a monster. I was lucky to survive and have been lying here for several days. Injuries that damage internal organs usually take ten days to half a month to heal, but judging from the time, I should be able to return to the battlefield today."

"Hmm?" Xiao's interest was immediately piqued by the other person's words. "Why do you say that?"

"Today, the army's medics should have recovered by now. With their help in treating our injuries, they should be fully healed in less than half an hour."

Upon hearing this, Xiao's eyes lit up.

Yes, this army is the emperor's personal guard.

Even immortals in the mortal realm have to show respect to the emperor when they are in the emperor's territory. How could the configuration of his personal guard be so poor that the wounded have to rely on self-healing to recover their fighting strength?

It seems I'm pretty lucky.

Just then, the tent flap was lifted, and the medic who had treated Xiao earlier walked in, followed by a face that Xiao found somewhat familiar.

The patient exclaimed, "Ah!" and said, "We were just talking when the medical staff arrived."

At the same time, Xiao also figured out why the face looked familiar.

The body's owner had met this healer and been treated by him.

The medic glanced briefly at the wounded inside the tent before beginning to use his healing skills.

More than half an hour later, Xiao walked out of the field hospital, accompanied by two other scouts.

Xiao never expected that he would run into a colleague on the road, ruining his plan to head straight to the front lines.

Xiao was worried that acting on his own would cause unnecessary trouble, and his current physical condition was not good for dealing with trouble, so he had no choice but to go back with the two of them to report.

His superior offered him a few perfunctory words of comfort and assigned him a new reconnaissance mission with teammates.

Looking at his new teammate, Xiao felt a bit of a headache.

How could he forget that scouts never act alone?

Having a teammate by your side makes many things inconvenient to do.

Xiao rode on his mount toward the mission location, but his mind had already wandered far away.

How can I get this teammate away?

Soon, Xiao came up with a solution.

If I become a dead man in my teammates' eyes, then I can act alone, right?

The thought had barely crossed Xiao's mind when he heard Red Xiao's irritated comment: "Why bother with all this? Why not just kill him?"

Xiao: "No, he's my teammate."

Red Demon: "So what if they're teammates? If they're here, they're probably already dead. So what if we kill them?"

Xiao: "That makes sense, but I still can't bring myself to betray my teammates."

Red Ape: "...Tsk, fine, it was just a suggestion, do whatever you want."

As Xiao regained his memories, his powerful investigative abilities also manifested in this body, and using these abilities did not put too much strain on the body, nor did it cause him internal injuries.

This time the enemy was very cunning, and soon Xiao discovered another group of monsters that had bypassed the army's blockade.

He used them to stage a scene, pretending to be killed by a monster, causing his teammates to abandon him and retreat. While the monster's attention was on his fleeing teammates, he also secretly slipped away.

This body is not strong enough to fight a large number of enemies.

Once in a safe place, Xiao tore a piece of cloth from his body and used it to stop the bleeding from the wound on his lower abdomen.

Without actually shedding blood, the performance wouldn't be realistic enough, and it would be difficult to fool both the enemy and teammates.

He deliberately avoided vital points. Although this body could not bear his power, it still had the foundation of a Saint-level being, so this minor injury would not affect his movements.

After a brief rest, Xiao quietly approached the battlefield where the fighting was most intense.

At this moment, the two commanders-in-chief had already started fighting near the space passage. The two royal-level powerhouses clashed repeatedly in the air, and the battle was extremely fierce. The residual force of their battle left deep ravines on the ground, making it difficult for anyone to get close.

Xiao hid behind a cover and observed the two fighting from a distance, his innate keen sense of detection playing a crucial role.

As of now, there are no abnormalities on either of them.

After that, Xiao turned his attention to the entrance of the passage further away.

Xiao doesn't know much about spatial issues; he just intuitively senses that there's something wrong with it.

Could the breakthrough be a spatial passage?

At this moment, the experienced Green Ape spoke up: "The spatial passage here is somewhat unstable, showing signs of collapse. The breakthrough you are looking for is not here."

Are there signs of collapse?

Xiao's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Could this be the final battle?

Based on the strength of this body, it probably wouldn't survive even a second in a disaster of that magnitude.

He immediately moved away from the spatial passage.

Having ruled out the two commanders and the spatial passage, the most likely remaining breakthrough point is the Blood Crown Ghost Liu himself. However, at this point in time, it should not have been born yet, so how can we find it?

After a moment's thought, Xiao continued on his way away from the spatial passage.

The energy released by the collapse of the passage must have been incredibly powerful; only those far from the epicenter had a chance of survival.

Ordinary Saint-level beings cannot fly, and their speed is less than one-tenth that of a Yaksha. In addition, they have to avoid enemies and allies and avoid trouble, making the journey extremely difficult for Xiao.

He felt like an athlete with his limbs shackled, running a marathon with tiny, shuffling steps.

Suddenly, a terrifying explosion came from afar, followed by the ground beneath Xiao's feet beginning to shake violently.

He turned around at the sound and his pupils immediately contracted.

The distant sky was crumbling little by little, like an eggshell being peeled off. The place where the spatial passage should have stood was now empty, leaving only a dark void.

The spatial passage has been destroyed.
