On the other side, Mercenary Lao Wu had found the place where the mother bear had died.
Looking at the bloodstains scattered all over the ground, Lao Wu slowly squatted down.
Because quite a bit of time had passed, the blood on the ground became somewhat sticky. He kept touching the blood with his fingers and then smelling it carefully.
He repeated this process until he touched a pool of relatively fresh blood, and then he stopped.
"Human blood?"
Lao Liu has the ability to transform mud into elements, so he was not hurt even when he was caught by the ghost bear.
No one was injured in the previous battle here, so the bloodstain was most likely left by Lao Qi.
"Old Seven was injured by Old Six? Why would the two of them fight in this place?"
Just when the fifth mercenary was confused, the sixth mercenary was walking towards him with the seventh mercenary.
At this time, the seventh brother was holding his stomach, and the white gauze had been stained red with blood. The fifth brother immediately asked:
"What's wrong with you? How did she get hurt?"
Lao Liu scratched his head embarrassedly:
"I'm sorry, Fifth Brother. I was ill at the time and I injured him."
"What the hell is wrong with you again?" Lao Wu was a little angry.
However, the injured Old Seven spoke up at this time and acted as a peacemaker:
"Forget it, Fifth Brother. This matter is not the fault of Sixth Brother."
"So what do you think happened?"
The seventh brother covered his abdomen with a look of taboo. After thinking for a while, he slowly said:
"I think we'll see visions in this jungle..."
"phantom?"
"Yes, Lao Liu also saw an illusion. He mistook me for someone else, so he shot me."
After hearing Lao Qi's explanation, Lao Wu's expression looked better.
"Then let's go back and treat your injuries."
“Hey wait, Fifth Brother, if you can’t see the illusion clearly, you can’t get out, and the same goes for that team.
Now that Lao Liu and I have found a way to see through illusions, have you ever thought about those people… "
The seventh brother made a gesture of wiping his neck, while the fifth mercenary narrowed his eyes.
“You can try.”
…
Just as Mercenary Lao Wu was speaking, an injured woman was hiding in a tree not far away.
It’s the seventh brother.
She held her stomach with one hand and her legs with the other, and her whole body was shaking.
She didn't move, and didn't even dare to make a sound.
The sixth brother wants to kill her, and now the fifth brother also wants to kill her. Everyone wants to kill her.
She has to hide, only by hiding can she survive.
Just as she was thinking this, a bloody hand was placed on her shoulder.
…
Team here.
Xu Le glanced at Xu Lei, then at Levis beside him. Puzzled, he took out the Gu Yinduo card again.
He wants to use divination to determine some things.
Psychic energy had already begun to be infused into the cards, but suddenly, a slender finger took away Xu Le's card.
Xu Le subconsciously wanted to get angry.
He thought Li Qingcheng was looking for trouble again, but when he looked in the direction of the finger, he quickly covered his mouth, trying hard not to laugh.
Phew! ~
He wouldn't have laughed if he hadn't really been unable to help it, but he finally couldn't help it.
Because in front of him... stood Tifa.
"Xu Le, shouldn't we do divination at this time?"
Tifa was still swinging her skirt in front of Xu Le as she spoke.
The woman in front of me is very real. The film is only 1024*768, but the human eye has 576 million pixels.
Every frown and smile of this woman is countless times clearer than the movie.
Xu Le could even see each of her eyelashes, the pores on her skin, and the rise and fall of her breathing.
Of course, he also paid attention to breasts.
Still that big.
So Xu Le felt an unprecedented sense of reality.
"Why can't I tell fortunes?"
"I'm already here, why do I need divination? We can just..."
The Tifa in front of him looked pitiful, and her expression and movements were all serious.
To be honest, Xu Le was a little tempted. If this was a place like the Mother Tree Realm where one could be resurrected infinitely, perhaps he would have already taken off his pants.
Unfortunately, that's not the case here.
Xu Le glanced in the direction of his other teammates at this time. Those people were gone, and instead, there were young ladies with different styles.
"Huh? I actually have so many favorite characters?"
Seeing this scene, Xu Le shook his head. This illusion was very real, but...
This illusion did not understand him.
In other words, this illusion is flawed, and the flaws are huge.
At least it doesn't understand what a senior pervert wants most.
Xu Le took a deep breath, and maintained his ethereal state. The Soul Tree was also constantly absorbing his growing desires.
He waited for a while, and only when two and a half lust fruits grew on the Soul Tree did Xu Le reveal a satisfied smile.
He actually entered a state similar to sage mode without even charging.
Therefore, it is nothing wrong for Xu Le to say that he is pure and has few desires at this time.
"Two and a half, I can't hold it in any longer..."
Xu Le's heart energy fruit has always grown very slowly. I don't know if it's because he had too much online experience in his previous life and watched too many horror and action movies.
Perhaps it was because he had too little experience in this life, and he always felt that the fruit of his heart energy was growing very slowly.
But this time, I can only say that I made a huge profit.
Xu Le gently pushed away several young ladies who were almost sticking to him.
Start thinking about how to dispel the illusion.
Or to think about it another way, how did he enter the hallucination state
Xu Le ignored the several thorns that were almost pressing on his face, ignored the voices of those girls, and while maintaining his sage state, Xu Le activated the ancient sound multi-perspective.
Every girl was chattering to herself.
But he knew that everyone who was speaking was not a real person.
This is the world that belongs to Gu Yinduo and Hongyue. It is impossible for a creature like 2B to appear here.
Xu Le took a deep breath and used the ancient sound multi-vision to sense every clue in front of him.
The way everyone appears in their own eyes has been changed by something.
"Expectations? Or something you want?"
No, at least not entirely. Xu Le knew very well that what he wanted right now was money.
Money is definitely the most important thing at the moment.
His desire for money is very practical, so he only wants to make money now.
But what the illusion gave him was not money, but a bunch of girls, and girls who would never appear.
In other words, the illusion is conditional.
There are a total of 6 people transformed from these illusions, and there are also a total of 6 teammates.
Is it certain that the illusion is based on reality? And these people are real people.
so…
"Spell, Zhe-Lin-Qi-Zhe, Forbidden Summoning Array."
After a puff of white smoke, Xu Le felt a little bit expectant.
Then he covered his face.
"Brother Xu Le..." A charming pink-haired woman leaned beside him.
Xu Le had forgotten which movie he had seen her in, after all, pink hair was not uncommon.
But the problem is, I clearly summoned a zombie!
It would be great if this ability to summon zombies and turn them into girls could be brought into reality.
However, when Xu Le saw that his zombie had turned into a pink girl, he confirmed one thing.
The people in the illusion don't have to be human, maybe just humanoid will do...
etc.
Is a humanoid okay
After hesitating for a moment, Xu Le summoned the thorns again.
When he saw a girl with green algae-haired hair rolling on the ground, he overturned what he had just confirmed.
It seems that it is not necessary to have a human form.
As long as it's alive, it's fine. This can be basically confirmed.
Because apart from the people here and his two summons, no one else turned into a girl.
"Why did they become girls?"
Is it because I have always wanted a girl
Is some hidden desire deep inside being magnified
"Don't push, don't push."
Xu Le pushed away some of the people around him and continued to think with his eyes closed.
Why don't you open your eyes
Too many, too big to open.
Moreover, having your head bumped back and forth is not conducive to thinking.
"If the girl appears because of some desire in my heart, then this desire should also be considered a kind of mental energy, right?"
Is it possible that even the Soul Tree cannot absorb this hidden mental energy
Xu Le pondered for a while, then began to inject more spiritual energy into the ancient sound multi-vision.
More and more, more and more expanding.
Even his eyes emitted blue light in the air. It was as if he was polluted by some ancient power.
The strongest form of Gu Yin's multi-vision.
The thread of fate.
Xu Le didn't know if this state was useful, but he had discovered the Lightforged Offspring in this form before.
Looking at Tifa, she was the closest to him before the summon.
So her real identity is most likely Levis.
Xu Le shuddered when he thought about the woman in black tight combat uniform in front of him, who was Levis, the otaku who secretly fiddled with dolls all day long.
Disgusting! Disgusting!
However, when he observed the other person carefully, he finally saw some differences.
Silk, or thread.
There is a thread in their bodies, which is not the thread of fate, but connects them to somewhere deep in the jungle.
Xu Le was about to reach out and cut the thread, but his fingers suddenly stopped.
"If these people have silk threads, do I have them too?"
Xu Le slowly stretched his hand to the back of his neck and touched it casually, but he didn't touch anything.
After a slight hesitation, Xu Le injected ancient sound spiritual energy into his fingers, and then his fingertips transformed into golden thunder.
A faint golden light flashed by.
bite!
A sound of metal wire breaking appeared in Xu Le's ears.
After the thread broke, Xu Le looked at other people. He didn't want to miss any details.
Sure enough, the originally ambiguous and warm world turned cold at this moment.
In fact, the surrounding scenery has not changed significantly, but it is as if the warm tones of the camera suddenly turned into cool tones.
The contrast in tones even gave Xu Le a cold feeling.
Although returning to reality was a blessing, Xu Le felt that he had also lost the eight young ladies he had always dreamed of.
Suddenly, he glanced at Levis who was twisting his body.
Imagine him and Tifa overlapping.
yue!~
"If it's lost, it's lost."
At this time, everyone else was also looking around with dazed eyes. It was obvious that they were all trapped in an illusion.
It's just that some people are intoxicated and some people are sad.
It seems that everyone's hidden desires controlled by the threads are not the same.
"The hidden desire that even the Soul Tree cannot absorb can be manipulated by humans in the form of silk threads and form a state of illusion. What a powerful method."
To be honest, this was the first time Xu Le encountered the Gu Yinduo Soul Tree and it was completely ineffective.
He walked to Levis' side and cut Levis's silk thread with golden thunder.
"Sha!"
Levis, who was dancing, sat down in despair, the light in his eyes almost gone...
This made Xu Le wonder if he had done something bad.
But Levis suddenly said:
"I'm under an illusion."
"You know you're trapped in an illusion? Shouldn't I let you wake up? After all, you won't be able to see your Sha after you wake up."
Xu Le didn't know who the Sha that Weiss was talking about was, but he knew that Levis's doll No. 1, the beautiful maid doll, was called Sha.
This old pervert is really going too far!
Although he also wanted one, he still had to scold.
"What nonsense are you talking about? It's not that I didn't try to wake up from the illusion just now, but I just couldn't find a reasonable way."
Seeing that Levis was still being stubborn, Xu Le spread his hands and began to dispel the illusion for others.
Xu Lei and Xu Ting woke up one by one.
When they returned to the real world and saw Xu Le, they were obviously stunned.
"Xu Le, you got us out here?"
"Yes." Xu Le did not deny it.
Now the situation has changed, and he needs to gain as much control as possible over the team.
From the accounts of several people who woke up, we learned that they all knew that they were trapped in an illusion, but had no way to get out.
After hearing this, Xu Le frowned slightly.
This shows that although the ability of the illusion controller is crude, its power is very strong, so strong that these people have no way to resist.
This is a bit troublesome.
Xu Le walked up to Li Qingcheng and cut the thread of her desired mental energy for her. Li Qingcheng woke up relatively calmly.
She looked at Xu Le standing in front of her and seemed somewhat happy.
But Xu Le didn't say anything. He just turned around and left, leaving her standing there in silence.
Xu Lei felt a little relieved when he saw that the two had no intention of talking.
"Xu Le, tell us what happened just now. We don't know how we got infected."
"To put it simply, a certain existence in this jungle can control a certain unexploded mental energy in our hearts, or hidden desires, through a special thread, to form an illusion."
"Hidden desire?"
"That's about it."
Xu Le briefly explained the principle of the illusion.
For him, as long as the intensity of the illusion does not continue to increase to the point where the thread cannot be cut.
That didn't pose any threat to him, but it was different for others.
They did not have golden thunder, nor did they have the ability to cut the silk threads themselves.
After listening to Xu Le's statement, Li Qingcheng frowned slightly:
"Now that you put it that way, this ability sounds just like the control technique of a puppeteer. It treats us like puppets."
When Xu Le heard her say this, his eyes narrowed instantly and he looked at Levis.
But Levis also nodded.
“There is indeed a little bit of similarity, but the control magic of the rune warlock does not have such a large range effect.
Furthermore, controlling a spell is a very delicate job. To establish a contract, you need to combine many important spells. In short, it is very complicated.”
Xu Le didn’t know whether Gu Jianuo’s previous control of the puppet was a form of control.
However, as someone with experience, he was well aware of the complexity of the technique.
There is a big difference between that kind of control and the current illusion control.
He went through divination guidance six times in total before he was completely caught and put under the control of the puppet, whose vision, hearing, damage, and control were taken over.
That is complete control, this is an illusion, the two are absolutely different.
As for the marionette that Li Qingcheng mentioned.
After hesitating for a moment, Xu Le took out the Gu Yinduo card from his pocket.
He rummaged through his deck of cards and suddenly discovered something ridiculous!
Black Card-The Marionette is gone.
Xu Le was very sure that he did not use the art of playing with life to burn an Ancient Sound card.
I was indeed missing a card.
Although his control over the Guyinduo cards may not be perfect, he is at least absolutely familiar with them.
He just bought this deck of cards, how could there be one card missing
Does it really matter
Xu Le is a person who likes to associate.
He clearly remembered that Ye Fury once said that she, the puppet, and the Lightcast were beings of the same level.
If it is a being at the level of the Son of Gu Yinduo, then its power level is likely to exceed that of the Soul Tree.
That's why there is mental energy that the Soul Tree cannot detect and can be controlled by some force.
Are there puppets in this jungle right now
No, this power is not strong. It should be a descendant of Gu Yinduo who was contaminated by the puppet.
Ancient sound of many offspring - puppet.
"Phew! These are just speculations. Maybe I'm thinking too much. I should calm down now."
Xu Le took a piece of candy from his pocket and put it in his mouth.
Sweeteners themselves are the brain's best placebos.
Although Xu Le had no mental energy fluctuations, after eating a candy, the sweetness made his brain, which was a little tired from thinking, feel a little better.
Xu Lei saw the strange look on Xu Le's face and asked:
"Xu Le, are you okay?"
"I'm fine."
"So, shall we set off now?"
If the time with the Ghost Bear is counted, Xu Le has already taken action twice to solve the team's difficulties.
The first battle could be said to be a joint effort by everyone, but this time they were trapped in an illusion. If Xu Le hadn’t taken action, many of them would still be looking for their mother in the illusion.
Once a person's strength is demonstrated, his voice and status in the team will naturally increase.
Therefore, Xu Lei had to ask Xu Le about the next direction of action.
Xu Le hesitated for a moment.
"Let's draw the line and leave as we said before. If you enter the illusion again, I will find a way."
"good."
With a clear response, the group began to take action.
They didn't bring any paint or anything like that, so they could only mix some weird ashes with water and then draw a thin straight line on the ground.
Although the line is very thin, it is enough to guide everyone's direction of action.
This time, even Xu Le didn't feel any problem.
However…
After drawing the line for almost two hours and walking for more than two hours, everyone saw the line in front of them.
This situation can only prove one problem.
The straight line they drew, curved.
It became a circle.
Xu Le squatted on the ground, looking at the line left before. He really didn't feel the deviation of the angle, even in the ancient sound multi-perspective.
Taking out the Gu Yinduo card, Xu Le prepared to do another divination.
But as soon as he took it out, one of the cards slipped out of his hand and fell to the ground.
Is this considered a mistake
How could Xu Le make such a low-level mistake
He picked up the cards on the ground.
Black Card-Marionette
The original image of this card was a puppet controlled by strings, showing a mechanical smile.
But at this moment, the puppet actually tilted its head towards Xu Le and waved.
