A small independent cultivator without any sect or school, but made a deal with the Heavenly Dao

"I listen to my sister. Whichever path she chooses, I'll choose."

"I'll listen to you, Senior Brother. I'll go whichever way you choose."

After hearing the two's answers, Jin Yuhan looked at Si Yunzhou and Lin Yi and said hurriedly, "You don't have to say anything. I know which path Pei Daoyou chooses. You will go that way."

Lin Yi smiled and said, "You've even learned how to answer quickly."

The six people then began to walk westward and started exploring around the edge of the desert. With the two fire spirits of Lin Yi and Hong Yu, the surrounding fire elements were quickly absorbed by them.

The spiritual consciousness suddenly sensed some unusual movement in front, so Pei Cangli asked everyone to stop. There were several large irregular rocks around. At this moment, Pei Cangli and his friends hid behind a rock, looking at the rock in front of them. There was nothing unusual around the rock.

Suddenly, the surface of the sand began to bulge and rushed towards them quickly. The six people were shocked and had no idea what kind of monster it was.

Pei Cangli flipped her right hand, and a whip appeared in her hand. She lashed it at the arched sand. The sand exploded, and several scorpion-shaped monsters emerged from it and pounced towards them.

When Jin Yuhan saw the monster, he remembered what his father had mentioned before, and hurriedly shouted, "Everyone be careful, this is a sand scorpion, it is good at hiding under the sand and launching sneak attacks, and its tail is highly poisonous, everyone must be careful."

A total of seven sand scorpions appeared among the six people. Each of the others dealt with one each, while Pei Cangli was entangled by two huge scorpions. It seemed that her water spiritual power made the monsters very uncomfortable, and they vowed to kill her here.

Si Yunzhou and Lin Yi both wanted to go forward to help Pei Cangli, but unfortunately these scorpions were very cunning. They each entangled their opponents and prevented others from passing.

The hard shells of the two huge sand scorpions gleamed with a chilling luster in the sun, and their sharp pincers and poisonous stingers made people shudder.

Pei Cangli's eyes shone, and she quickly pulled out her whip and took a defensive stance. A sand scorpion took the lead in attacking, waving its pincers and rushing towards her.

Pei Cangli dodged to the side and swung the long whip in his hand, which created a string of sparks on the hard shell of the sand scorpion.

Another sand scorpion took advantage of Pei Cangli's dodge and stabbed her with its tail stinger, but unfortunately Pei Cangli reacted very quickly and avoided the fatal blow with a backflip.

The moment she landed, she made a hand gesture, and rows of water arrows pierced the sand scorpion's head. However, the sand scorpion turned its body flexibly, and the water arrows only left a shallow scratch on its shell.

Without any retreat, Pei Cangli flexibly shuttled between the two sand scorpions, constantly looking for their flaws.

The sand scorpion's attack became more and more fierce. Pei Cangli's clothes were torn by the pincers, and several blood marks appeared on her arms. But she gritted her teeth, endured the pain, and concentrated on dealing with it.

Finally, Pei Cangli found a weakness of a sand scorpion. When it attacked again with its pincers, Pei Cangli blocked the pincers with his long whip, took advantage of the force to jump up, and stabbed the dagger into its eyes. The sand scorpion twisted its body in pain and fell to the sand.

The remaining sand scorpion became even crazier when it saw its companion fall. It rushed towards Pei Cangli desperately. At the moment it pounced, Pei Cangli dodged sideways and whipped it with his backhand, breaking its stinger.

The attack power of the sand scorpion was greatly reduced after losing its stinger. Pei Cangli took the opportunity to launch a fierce attack. After several water arrows, the sand scorpion finally couldn't hold on and fell heavily on the hot sand.

Pei Cangli was breathing heavily and wiping the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve. Looking at the two motionless sand scorpions on the ground, he felt grateful to Zi Mei. Fortunately, after he transformed, Zi Mei was also upgraded and could use two weapons at the same time.

Looking back, everyone had basically dealt with their enemies. With the help of Hongyu, Ji Feng also began to put away his sword. Seeing Si Yunzhou still fighting with one of Lin Yi's swords, Pei Cangli felt a little embarrassed and hoped to get a good sword in this secret realm.

After cleaning up the spoils, everyone continued to move forward. At this time, Si Yunzhou walked up to Pei Cangli and said, "Cangli, you go back and rest for a while. Your arm is injured. I will go ahead and explore the way."

Jin Yuhan said excitedly, "Everyone, the map shows that there is a treasure not far ahead."

After walking for a while, Hongyu suddenly asked, "Do you smell any strange fragrance?"

Ji Feng said with a smile, "This is a bare desert, where not even grass grows. How can there be any fragrance? Hongyu, are you hungry?"

Pei Cangli suddenly stopped and said with a serious expression, "Young man..." Before he could finish his sentence, Ji Feng fell down.

Then came Hongyu, Jin Yuhan, Lin Yi, Si Yunzhou, and finally Pei Cangli's vision began to become dazed. In the last stage of his consciousness, he asked Zimei to take the defensive formation set up by Cangcang, surrounded everyone, and then fell to the ground.

Zi Mei's shadow floated out, surrounded everyone with a formation, and then ran to Pei Cangli, trying to wake her up.

Cang Cang explained, "It's useless. The master and they are now trapped in an illusion. The only way is to get out of it yourself or kill the illusionist. Otherwise, you can't wake up. Zi Mei, you hide first and see what's causing the trouble."

Zi Mei hid when she heard it. After a while, she saw several giant butterflies flying out, one of which had a faint human face.

"Is this a Desert Illusion Butterfly? It's so big. Cang Cang, I hope your formation can hold out for a while longer. Otherwise, it will break and we'll have to throw poison. It's a pity there are other people here, otherwise we could just bring Xiaoli and Hongyu into the space."

At this moment, Pei Cangli opened her eyes and found herself in a large supermarket. What the hell? Didn't she faint in the desert?

It's been several years, has she returned to the modern era? Suddenly she saw a familiar figure pushing a shopping cart in front of her, and when she turned around, she saw that it was her childhood self, and the one walking in front was her mother holding her brother.

Pei Cangli remembered that when she was eight years old, she went shopping in the supermarket with her family. She was very happy looking at the shelves full of delicious food and fun things. She also saw a little girl about her age next to her, who was acting coquettishly in her mother's arms and asking for a pink doll.

She wanted it too, but she knew her mother would never buy it for her and would say that she would just be wasting money. Looking at the little girl happily holding the doll, Pei Cangli was extremely envious and looked forward to having such a gift one day.

Suddenly a voice came from the front, "Sister, hold him, sister, hold him." Pei Cangli walked over and picked up her brother, while her mother was busy picking vegetables and preparing afternoon dinner.

After waiting in line until Pei Cangli and her friends finished paying and were about to leave, the supermarket's access control system rang shrilly as Pei Cangli passed by. The little Pei Cangli looked confused and even looked at her mother with some fear.

The staff member came over and motioned Pei Cangli to walk it again. The eight-year-old Pei Cangli didn't understand why she was asked to walk it again alone. She walked it again tremblingly, and the harsh sound rang out again.

The eyes of the people around her immediately became fierce, and Pei Cangli instinctively looked at her mother, wondering why? Then her mother came over, slapped her without saying a word, and shouted, "I asked you to steal things, but you are a naughty kid and you have learned to steal things."

After saying that, he held Pei Cangli down and started searching her all over her body. Finally, he found an unpurchased car from the hood of her hoodie.

Pei Cangli cried and defended herself, "I didn't, it wasn't me, I didn't take the car, it wasn't me."

The people around were even pointing fingers at the little Pei Cangli, saying that she started stealing things at such a young age. What will happen to her when she grows up? She has a younger brother, so they asked her not to lead her brother astray.

Pei Cangli, who witnessed all this, knew that she was trapped in an illusion, and this time she also saw clearly the real culprit, who was her own brother, who took the opportunity to stuff it into her hands when she was hugging him.

Pei Cangli didn't understand herself. How could she get out of this illusion? After the eight-year-old girl experienced it over and over again, she finally figured out what the illusion wanted her to do. This time, she was no longer a bystander, but an experiencer.

After everything that happened, Pei Cangli once again came to the final stage of being wronged. This time, she heard someone gently calling her name "Cangli."
