Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

Nangong Ru looked around.

At least we've broken through the encirclement here, and it doesn't seem too dangerous for the time being.

However, this safety certainly wouldn't last long. She had been trying very hard to control her imagination, but the influence of the Azure Dragon's spiritual power continued, and the system kept popping up reminders about attribute changes.

Even if they can still control it now, as those attributes continue to increase, the delusional monsters they encounter later will definitely become stronger and stronger.

However, this wasn't her biggest worry...

"Ye Ge." Nangong Ru looked at Ye Ge and asked, "Your delusional tendencies are still increasing. If this continues, won't...?"

“Hmm.” Ye Ge nodded; he knew what Nangong Ru was worried about.

"Right now, we can still use the 'concentration' we've trained in meditation to pull ourselves back from the brink of daydreaming. So, while these monsters that are appearing now are very strong, they are far from being the strongest; they are just monsters at the initial stage of delusion."

"But as those attributes improve, we will find it increasingly difficult to control our distractions."

"In the end, the monsters getting stronger is secondary; the most terrifying thing is that we will be completely trapped in a world of delusion, not even realizing that we are delusional, and in the end, we will never wake up..."

Princess Emilia shuddered upon hearing this.

"Is there really no way to crack this?" Nangong Ru frowned.

“In this place, the stronger a person’s mental strength, imagination, intelligence, and brain activity, the stronger the monster they will create.” Ye Ge looked up at the giant dragon’s black shadow weaving through the clouds in the sky: “However, if your mental strength is strong enough to directly surpass that of the Extreme Yin Azure Dragon, then you can be immune to its mental influence.”

Emilia: "...Isn't that impossible?"

That's a legendary sacred beast!

“Then there’s only the second method left.” Ye Ge smiled: “Although it can’t provide immunity, it can alleviate the symptoms.”

Ye Ge took out several pills and tossed them to Nangong Ru, Emilia, and Elon.

"what is this?"

You'll know once you try it.

"..."

Without hesitation, Nangong Ru tilted her head back and swallowed a pill.

Seeing this, Emilia and Elon also took the pills.

[System notification: You have taken the "Mind-Stabilizing Pill". The medicine will take effect in ten seconds.]

[System Notification: Focus +320%, Calmness +280%, Emotional Control +200%, Thought Control +230%, SAN Value +3000...]

Nangong Ru was taken aback: "Your concentration has improved..."

Ye Ge said, "Improving your focus can help you realize that you are daydreaming the moment you fall into a fantasy, and pull yourself out of the fantasy."

"Although it's still inevitable that there will be a few moments of distraction, if we can quickly get back on track, at least the monsters we create won't be that strong, and there won't be that many of them."

“Understood… I’ll use the enhanced focus attribute to counter this illusion.” Emilia murmured to herself, then looked at Night Song and snorted, “I didn’t realize that you, a human, though so wicked and despicable, are actually quite clever.”

Night Song Laughs.

In his past life, this was how he passed this test.

Although the map of the underworld created by the planners is indeed from the underworld, it does contain methods that can be used to break the mechanism.

It just takes a little thought to discover it.

Knight Airon was silent for a moment, then seemed to understand something: "If we create fewer imaginary monsters, more of the monsters appearing on this map will be lured away by Muramasa and his gang. In that case, they can also help us attract away more monsters, right?"

Night Song: "Yes."

"..." Knight Elon's expression was complicated as he gave Night Song a deep look.

This human is truly remarkable...

Could it be that he had actually been to this underground palace before?

Why does it feel like he has everything prepared?

Ye Ge also took a pill and said, "Alright, let's get going. Although taking the pill can improve concentration, the influence of the Extreme Yin Azure Dragon's spiritual power is still ongoing. Once the delusion attribute reaches a certain point, the concentration will be irreversible, so we need to hurry to the ancient city."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement: "Yes!"

......

“Huff…Huff…”

"Huff...huff...huff..."

The one-eyed samurai ran for his life, unleashing all his martial arts skills, and was panting heavily.

In addition to physical exhaustion, the fear of death, panic, and anxiety also made him sweat profusely.

[System notification: Your stamina is below 30%. Please manage it carefully.]

[System notification: Your stamina is below 20%. Please manage it carefully.]

[WARNING! When your physical strength drops below 10%, you will enter a state of weakness and fatigue. When your physical strength drops below 5%, you are at risk of shock and unconsciousness at any time!]

The system kept sending out alerts and warnings.

The one-eyed man looked back.

The massive, dark Qin army was still relentlessly pursuing him, less than ten meters away!

Moreover, based on his recent delusions, these extremely Yin Qin soldiers have undergone countless upgrades.

At this moment, these extremely Yin Qin soldiers all looked like war gods crawling out of hell, with their weapons and equipment upgraded from head to toe.

Originally, they wore ordinary chainmail, carried standard long-handled halberds, and rode ordinary warhorses.

However, now, their heavy armor is so magnificent that they look like heavenly soldiers and generals. Intense yin flames burn in the gaps between the armor. Their weapons have evolved from standard long spears to three-pointed double-edged spears. The warhorses beneath them are as tall and strong as giant elephants. Their horse armor is as thick as tank armor, with more than a dozen steel spikes standing upright on the surface. When they charge, they are unstoppable and unstoppable!

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

The one-eyed man stared wide-eyed in terror, his anger and fear erupting simultaneously in his chest.

The sound of horses' hooves was like a death knell.

The continuous increase in his SAN value made it impossible for him to control his emotions.

The words Ye Ge had whispered in his ear at the very end were still echoing in his mind...

"You're unlucky. Who told you to run into two teammates who would betray you?"

"Even if you were sold out, you probably wouldn't dare to feel anger or hatred, right? If you did, your soul would be severely punished?"

A few words kept echoing in the one-eyed man's mind.

"asshole......"

The one-eyed man's eyes gradually turned scarlet, his expression became furious and manic, and he finally lost control: "Muramasa!!!"
