“The appearance of the Blood-devouring Demon Clansmen most definitely means an enormous conspiracy is at hand . Everyone, we must be extra careful . It is best that we do not split up,” said the Chu Heavenly Clan’s Clan Chief .
“Right . It is better that we stay together,” The crowd nodded in succession .
After personally witnessing the might of a Blood-devouring Demon Clansman, they were already terrified .
There were only two peak Exalted-level individuals amongst the vast crowd . One was the Tantai Heavenly Clan’s Supreme Elder, Tantai Yinjian . As for the other, he was the Chu Heavenly Clan’s Clan Chief .
Evidently, the two of them were the strongest guardians among all the people present .
And now, one of those two peak Exalted experts was with them . It was only natural that they would not be willing to part with him . To be exact, they would refuse to leave the Chu Heavenly Clan’s Clan Chief’s side even if they were to be beaten to death .
At that moment, the Chu Heavenly Clan’s Clan Chief turned his eyes to the golden fruit .
“It seems like we will have to spend a lot of effort in order to obtain this fruit . We cannot continue to waste our time here . ”
The Chu Heavenly Clan’s Clan Chief began to walk towards the golden fruit .
……… . . .
Time passed . Chu Feng had been trapped in the illusion for over a dozen days .
The scene of the illusion did not change in the slightest . However, Chu Feng became extremely weak, so much so that his life was in danger .
That said, even with that being the case, Chu Feng’s eyes were still burning like a torch . He was trying his best to keep his cool, and still search for a way to breach the illusion .
What Chu Feng didn’t know was that what was happening inside the illusion was being witnessed clearly at a certain place .
That place seemed like a palace hall . However, it would be somewhat rough to call it a palace hall, as the surroundings were all composed of trees . It would be more accurate to call it an enormous tree cave .
There was a small lake in the center of the tree cave . The surface of the lake was very calm . However, Chu Feng's situation was being displayed in the center of the lake .
There were two people on the shore of the lake looking at the image before them .
Of them, one was watching the scene very earnestly, seemingly unable to take his eyes off the lake .
Although that individual had a humanoid figure, he did not look like a human . Instead, he looked more like a monster .
His entire body was covered in white bandages, that were themselves covered in bloodstains . Only a pair of very lifeless eyes could be seen . However, those eyes appeared very terrifying . It was impossible to determine what was terrifying about that individual’s eyes . Merely, upon seeing those eyes, one would tremble with fear .
Normally, being wrapped in blood-stained bandages would make one appear to be seriously injured, and would not make one be described as a "monster . "
The reason why that individual resembled a monster was because there was a green light being emitted from his body . Furthermore, one could continuously smell a rotten odor from him .
His appearance simply did not resemble that of a person . Instead, he looked more like a corpse, a living corpse .
To be exact, he should be undead .
As for the other person present, he was very normal . At the very least… he appeared to be alive .
Normally, if one were a normal living person, even if one were not afraid, one would still keep a distance should there be an undead emitting a rotten odor from head to toe beside them .
However, that person not only did not keep his distance, but he was also standing there and eating green fruits by the mouthful .
Those were all Sacred Tree Fruits!!!
Precious Sacred Tree Fruits were actually piled up into a little hill several tens of meters tall beside him .
He was eating those precious Sacred Tree Fruits like seeds - one down with every bite .
Perhaps he was enjoying the fruits too much, but he was merely taking a couple glances at the scene on the surface of the lake, and placing the majority of his attention on eating more fruits .
One thing worthy of mentioning was that that person was… the same person Chu Feng and the others had encountered earlier .
He was that man who possessed an identical look to Wang Qiang, yet was wearing tree bark armor .
“Hey hey hey, say, little brat, didn’t you say that this is your good brother? He’s on the verge of collapse, yet you’re not even bothering to look at him . Are you not afraid that he’ll die?” the undead man as he looked to the man who looked exactly like Wang Qiang .
“I-i-it’s pre-precisely be-because he’s my b-bro-brother that I’m n-not looking,” said that man . This time around, the way he spoke was exactly the same as the way Wang Qiang would normally speak .
“So you two are fake brothers?” the undead man asked .
“W-what do y-you mean by f-fake brothers? T-the two of us a-are close b-brothers who h-ha-have gone t-through life a-and death together,” Wang Qiang cast a side eye at the undead man .
“Brothers that have gone through life and death together?”
“In that case, why don’t I see you, little brat, showing concern for him?” The undead man did not believe that Wang Qiang had a deep relationship with Chu Feng due to the way he was acting .
“It’s b-because he-he’s my go-good brother that I-I-I know t-that i-ill-illusion will not be-be able to baffle him,” said Wang Qiang .
“Oh?”
“You’re quite confident in him,” said the undead man .
“G-go on a-and continue w-watching . I-I know best how s-strong my brother is,” Wang Qiang spoke confidently .
Hearing those words, the undead man’s gaze changed somewhat . Then, he looked back to the lake .
“You’re right . That little brat is quite capable . He’s actually able to maintain his calm the entire time, even in that sort of situation . ”
“With how confident he is, what he lacks is merely a bit of luck . After all, he has passed by the exit many times . All he lacks is touching the exit . ”
“Thus, if he is to continue, he will sooner or later be able to escape from the illusion formation,” said the Living Dead .
“Well d-d-duh! He-he’s my b-brother, okay?” Wang Qiang spoke proudly .
“Strange!!!”
Suddenly, the undead man who was sitting on the ground stood up abruptly .
A shocked expression appeared in his previously lifeless eyes .
“O-old fart, w-what’s w-wrong? Why a-are you so sh-shocked?” Wang Qiang rolled his eyes at the undead man .
“That brat is stealing my fruits!!!” the undead man said .
“S-st-stealing your f-fr-frui-fruits? Old fart, what d-do you m-mean by that?” Wang Qiang also stood up upon hearing those words . He looked to the surface of the lake with curiosity .
“The source of the illusory formation comes from the power of thirty-six golden fruits . Combined with the power of the Void Sacred Tree, the illusory formation becomes something that not even world spirit techniques could see through . ”
“Logically, if that brat wanted to breach the illusory formation, he would merely need to find the exit . However… he has passed by the exit many times, yet he has not touched it . ”
“Originally, I had thought that he did not manage to find the exit, and was lacking a bit of luck in order to leave the illusion . ”
“However, judging from it now, he is deliberately staying in the illusory formation . ”
“His purpose is simply not to exit the illusory formation at all . Instead, he wants to snatch away all of the fruits that I used to set up the illusory formation!!!”the undead man said .
