Chapter 136: Door to Illusion
Chapter 136: Door to Illusion
The melodious sound of the flute echoed in the garden, and the flowers in the light seemed to have life, swaying gently. Shen Mo and others observed their surroundings vigilantly, not daring to relax their weapons in the slightest.
"The sound of the flute is too strange, everyone be careful." Shen Mo said in a low voice.
They walked slowly towards the source of the flute sound, taking every step carefully. Suddenly, several vines sprang out from the flowers and attacked them like snakes.
"Be careful!" Ye Lan shouted a warning and swung his sword to cut off the approaching vines.
Alex swung his giant axe and cut off the surrounding vines. Lin Yuwei and Feng Yu were in the back, constantly casting spells to provide cover for their companions in the front.
However, the vines were growing more and more, seemingly endless. Shen Mo frowned, thinking to himself: "This is not a solution. We must find the source of the vines."
"Everyone follow me, towards the direction of the flute sound!" Shen Mo shouted and rushed forward first.
Everyone followed closely behind, working hard to cut through the vines that blocked the way. With their efforts, they finally saw a figure sitting in the pavilion in the middle of the garden, playing the flute.
"Stop your evil magic!" Shen Mo shouted angrily.
The figure slowly put down the flute and stood up. It turned out to be a pretty woman, but her eyes revealed a hint of indifference.
"Why did you break in here?" The woman's voice was clear but cold.
Lin Yuwei said: "We are pursuing justice and fighting against evil forces. No offense intended."
The woman sneered, "Justice? In this world, justice is just an excuse for the strong."
Ye Lan said, "Miss, we have no intention of being your enemy, but these vines are attacking us, so please stop."
The woman remained unmoved and blew the flute again. In an instant, more vines emerged from the ground and pounced on Shen Mo and the others.
"It seems that we have no choice but to subdue her first!" Alex said, and was about to rush forward.
Feng Yu stopped him: "Wait, maybe there is another way."
Shen Mo thought for a moment and said, "Girl, we know you may have your reasons, but if you continue to stop us, don't blame us for being rude."
The woman stopped playing and looked at Shen Mo and the others: "If you can pass my test, I will let you go."
"What test?" Shen Mo asked.
The woman waved her hand, and a door to an illusion appeared in the garden. "Enter this door, pass the test inside, and you will be able to leave."
Shen Mo and others looked at each other and decided to enter the door to the illusion.
Inside the door is an illusory world, surrounded by clouds and mist, making it difficult to tell the direction.
"Everyone be careful and don't get separated." Shen Mo reminded.
They groped forward in the illusion and suddenly heard a cry.
"Who is crying?" Lin Yuwei asked.
They walked towards the direction of the crying and saw a little girl squatting on the ground crying.
"Little sister, what's wrong with you?" Ye Lan asked.
The little girl raised her head, her face full of tears: "I can't find the way home."
A trace of pity welled up in Shen Mo's heart: "Don't worry, we will help you find your way home."
However, when they were about to take the little girl away, the surrounding environment suddenly changed and turned into a dark forest with countless pairs of eyes flashing in the darkness.
"What's going on?" Alex clenched the weapon in his hand.
Feng Yu said: "This may be a change in the illusion, everyone should be careful."
At this moment, the owners of those eyes rushed out from the darkness. They turned out to be a group of ferocious beasts.
Shen Mo and others had to join the battle again. While protecting the little girl, they also had to deal with the ever-changing illusions.
After a fierce battle, they finally repelled the beast.
"Little sister, don't be afraid, let's continue to find the way home." Lin Yuwei comforted the little girl.
The little girl nodded and led them forward.
As they walked, they came to a river. The water was rushing and there was no bridge to cross.
"What should I do?" Ye Lan looked at the river worriedly.
Shen Mo looked around and found some trees by the river. "We can cut down the trees and make a simple bridge to cross the river."
Everyone worked together to cut down trees and build a bridge.
Just as they were about to cross the river, a huge wave suddenly surged up in the river and rushed towards them...
