Chapter 229 Mirage
Sui Lanting didn't dare to relax and sat down with a bit of tension. Su Yu looked at Ning Xiaoxi and said, "Sister Sui, it's okay, there are adults here!"
"It has nothing to do with whether the adults are here or not. When has she ever been so obedient in agreeing?" Sui Lanting didn't want to be so nervous either. Some things just won't happen even if the adults are present!
Xian Feng and Xian Yun nodded. They weren't as carefree as Su Yu. They could tell how much the adults valued Ning Xiaoxi by looking at her. They had also learned a lot in the past two days and one night.
Ning Xiaoxi looked up at the sky, where a few stars were already twinkling. Then, she saw a beautiful lake, with water birds soaring and catching fish along its shore. Wild horses, wild sheep, and wild donkeys came to drink, and there were fruit trees laden with fruit, the sweet aroma of which wafted over, making her want to go and eat some.
Sui Lanting then saw Ning Xiaoxi sit up abruptly, stand up, and walk out.
"Xiao Xi!" Sui Lanting rushed over to grab her, Su Yu jumped up as well, and Xian Feng and Xian Yun followed instinctively.
"Shh!" Ning Xiaoxi raised her finger, signaling Sui Lanting to be quiet.
Only then did Sui Lanting and the other three notice that there were several other people standing nearby, walking blankly in the direction Ning Xiaoxi had just gone.
Ning Xiaoxi carefully followed behind those people.
After walking a distance, Ning Xiaoxi looked up and saw countless tiny grains of sand, shimmering with multicolored light, forming an illusory body. It transformed into the shape of a giant bird, its wings like flowing rainbow curtains, constantly changing shape as it flew, sometimes elongating, sometimes splitting and reforming. Or it would transform into a beautiful woman, her colorful robes fluttering, her fragrance wafting in the wind, alluring and captivating.
Looking at the alluringly smiling beauty, Ning Xiaoxi couldn't help but shiver.
"Xiao Xi?" Sui Lanting looked at Ning Xiao Xi with concern.
"Sister Sui, can't you all see?" Ning Xiaoxi looked at the four people behind her in surprise.
The group exchanged glances and shook their heads in unison.
"With you blocking the way, of course they can't see it." Tuanzi's voice was full of helplessness. This silly girl, she didn't even realize she was taking the blame for someone else.
The Mirage Demon has no fixed physical form, existing entirely as a phantom of light and shadow. It possesses powerful illusionary abilities, capable of creating realistic illusions in the sky to lure desert creatures. When these creatures approach, they are trapped in its endless, mesmerizing illusions, ultimately losing their minds and being devoured. Weakness: Tornado energy source.
Oh dear, another bewitching monster.
The people next to them started reaching out, and some even started taking off their clothes.
Upon seeing this, Sui Lanting and the others wanted to step in and save those people.
"Wait!" Ning Xiaoxi reached out to stop them, then slowly walked to the middle of the group and began to sense the location of the mirage demon's tornado energy source.
The men's actions became increasingly frantic; they were half-naked, and their faces displayed various lewd expressions.
Sui Lanting really wanted to go up and cover Ning Xiaoxi's eyes, but it was too hard to restrain herself. She could only grab Su Yu's wrist next to her and squeeze it hard.
Ning Xiaoxi suddenly looked up, found it, and casually threw Xiaoxue out. The spirit crystal heart even turned into a rope and tied it around Xiaoxue's waist.
Xiaoxue darted into the light and shadow and was instantly sucked away by the tornado. The Dream Weaving Vine on her body shimmered with light, and the specks of light and shadow mixed with the sand of the tornado, unfolding a magnificent scene of light and shadow, with high mountains, great rivers, streams, heavenly treasures, and countless celestial birds and spirit beasts.
Sui Lanting and the others were stunned by the light and shadow, which resembled a celestial palace. Ten thousand golden rays flashed, forming a golden staircase leading directly to the celestial palace.
Xiaoxue's body rotated with the tornado, and then she slowly began to control the speed of the tornado, making it fast or slow as she pleased.
The sudden change in light and shadow and the dramatic contrast shocked the people in front, causing them to faint.
The tornado struggled desperately, trying to regain control.
Black gas once again emerged from Xiaoxue's body, merging with the tornado, and she took out the Black Sand Heart to begin absorbing the energy from the tornado's energy source.
Xiaoxue slowed down her body, allowing the speed of the tornado to match the speed at which the Black Sand Heart absorbed the energy. In the center of the Black Sand Heart, an identical tornado slowly condensed.
Sui Lanting and the others looked at the golden staircase. Was that the path to heaven? They wanted to go.
As the outer tornado shrinks, the inner tornado begins to spin faster and faster, absorbing the energy more and more quickly.
The tornado outside disappeared visibly.
As the tornado disappeared, the celestial palace began to collapse, and the staircases began to crumble.
Sui Lanting and the others suddenly awoke with a start. Where was the celestial palace? Where was the path to heaven? There was only yellow sand covering the ground.
Xiaoxue retreated back into her cave, her face crinkling with laughter.
Ning Xiaoxi didn't even glance at the people lying or sprawling at her feet.
"You audacious monster, you're courting death!" A sudden, furious shout came from afar.
It turns out that mirages aren't just appearing here; they're appearing in other places too.
Ning Xiaoxi took Sui Lanting's hand and said, "Sister Sui, let's go back." She completely ignored Sui Lanting's somewhat embarrassed expression.
Su Yu touched his nose, glanced back at Xian Feng and Xian Yun, and thought, "This is too embarrassing! Don't tell anyone!" Xian Feng and Xian Yun nodded emphatically and quickly turned to follow the two female subordinates in front of them.
In just a short while, they had already traveled nearly fifty feet away from the camp.
On the way back, you could still hear shouts and explosions from various spells, and the area around the camp was in chaos.
When they returned to the camp, Tianji was already sitting in the spot where he had been sitting.
"My lord, you're back!" Ning Xiaoxi ran over with a cheerful smile.
Tianji finally looked at her properly, "You're so stupid!"
Ning Xiaoxi's smile froze. She couldn't take it anymore. From the moment they met, he hadn't given her a good look. Every word he said was sarcastic. How could he be so disgusted with her?
"Xiao Xi, Xiao Xi, it's getting late. You must be tired. Go and rest, go and rest!" Sui Lanting immediately came to the rescue. She was just a subordinate of the adults. She wanted to advance her career. She wanted to live!
Ning Xiaoxi pouted and nodded, "I'll do whatever Sister Sui says."
One sentence made Sui Lanting shudder. No, please don't listen to me anymore. I'm just an official under the master, that's all!
Su Yu glanced at Sui Lanting with sympathy, then followed the Xian brothers, Xian Feng and Xian Yun, back to the campfire and began to play the quail.
Sui Lanting dared not approach Tianji, yet he had no choice but to go. "My lord, we were brainwashed by that mirage demon, and it was Xiaoxi who saved us."
Tianji closed his eyes.
Sui Lanting slowly exhaled a long breath, respectfully stepped back, and sat back down next to Su Yu.
Su Yu secretly gave Sui Lanting a thumbs up, thinking, "I admire no one but you!"
Sui Lanting glared at him, annoyed. She silently hoped, "Please, let's have some peace and quiet tonight!"
