Yanling Town is located among the cliffs.
To go to this town, you need to pass through two mountains and four forests.
They are Kuzhi Mountain, Luqiu Mountain, Green Plum Forest, Jujube Forest, Snake Bone Forest, and Yanzhong Forest.
The closer to the mountains and forests of Yanling Town, the more dangerous it becomes.
Ordinary people really don't want to travel across mountains and rivers to get close to here.
It is estimated that the people in the yamen were unwilling to go because of this, so they directly reported the case to the demon slayers.
However, the journey is difficult.
But this is really nothing to the demon-slayer who walks over the walls as if he were on the ground.
Niu Yuanping and Kan Xingming kept walking towards the town.
It took half an hour to cross Kuzhi Mountain.
From the wet mountain stream, I felt my way out of the rocks and walked up the thorny path to Luqiu Mountain.
There are not many trees on this mountain, and a large number of black and white stones are exposed, just like the back of a sika deer, hence the name Luqiu Mountain.
The mountain road here is easy to walk, there are no trees blocking it, and you can see the end at a glance.
After Niu Yuanping and Kan Xingming flew past a few sticks of incense, they passed through Luqiu Mountain and entered the Green Plum Forest.
The trees in the forest are so tall that once you enter, you can hardly see the sunlight.
Niu Yuanping and Kan Xingming stepped on the soft grass and walked in.
But after walking a few steps, Kan Xingming next to him suddenly asked, "Do you smell it?... There is a smell..."
Niu Yuanping stopped quickly and sniffed the air carefully.
Couldn't help but frown.
It does taste good!
A dead rat smell with a faint earthy smell...
The smell makes people feel a little nauseous.
"It should be the smell of the rotting corpse of some kind of beast..."
In such a forest, it is normal for several dead beast corpses to rot quietly.
There was nothing to doubt, just keep going and get through the woods as quickly as possible.
However, I left for about two sticks of incense.
Bizarre colors suddenly began to appear in Niu Yuanping's field of vision! Then, everything around started to get bigger!
All the vegetation rose from the ground instantly.
It’s amazing to be in it! I immediately felt small.
"This!...What's going on?!..."
Kan Xingming beside him was already panicking, so he immediately asked.
Niu Yuanping was also caught off guard.
Still haven't figured out the situation yet.
But after hearing this, I thought about responding to him a few words, at least to comfort him a little first.
However, as soon as he turned his head, he discovered that Kan Xingming's body had also begun to become extremely huge!
Moreover, his body was quickly blocked by a pole grass that rose up from the ground and also grew in size, and he disappeared long ago!
It was as if in an instant, he and Kan Xingming became people from two different worlds.
One becomes larger and the other becomes smaller.
In this way, both parties will no longer be able to see each other!
This sudden change made Niu Yuanping at a loss again.
But he soon forced himself to calm down.
Stabilize your body first to avoid being dizzy and falling due to the scene in front of you!
It can be judged from Kan Xingming's question just now that Kan Xingming must have also seen some incredible scene!
This shows that two people saw this strange scene almost at the same time!
"Illusion?..."
Suddenly this possibility occurred to me!
Niu Yuanping was shocked.
Judging from his current experience, this is probably an illusion.
I really didn’t expect that while walking on the road, I suddenly fell into an illusion without any warning!
It must be the work of evil spirits!
This is really a disadvantage when going out. You can encounter evil spirits and ghosts just by passing through a forest!
"But when did the illusion begin?..."
Niu Yuanping raised his head and stared at the trees and weeds that were still growing crazily into the sky in all directions.
This scene of infinite growth and brutal growth frightened him!
Suddenly I recalled that when I first entered Qingmeilin, I smelled the earthy smell of dead rats!
"It must be the smell!"
This is probably a hallucination caused by the smell!
As long as you continue to inhale that smell, you will always be trapped in the illusion and cannot get out!
This can be quite tricky!
"How to crack it?..."
Everything around him became so huge that he couldn't distinguish between north, south, east and west.
The terrain and landforms have also become completely different from those on the map!
This made Niu Yuanping dare not move even an inch!
Maybe the flat land you see in front of you is actually an abyss! If you are not careful and step on the air, you may be thrown to death!
Being trapped in this situation, he cursed secretly.
I didn't want to get involved in such nonsense... I didn't expect that not only did I get involved, but I also caused a lot of trouble.
However.
Just when Niu Yuanping was trapped in this illusion and didn't know what to do.
At this moment, in this green plum forest, there were several other people who were also attacked by illusions!
They are Li Chunting, Zhu Yushun, Yan Molun, Hong Bingzhong, Qi Lucui and Zhang Bucheng!
It turns out that they never went to the so-called Maple City at all, and they didn't get any news about the evil spirits in Maple City!
This is a scam.
A scam targeting Niu Yuanping.
According to Zhu Yushun's plan, he set the target of suspicion on Niu Yuanping, in order to induce Niu Yuanping to reveal his true face as a monster as soon as possible!
This created the illusion that all the third-level demon-slayers had left Su City.
Then several of their third-level demon-slayers secretly observed Niu Yuanping's every move.
As long as he dares to show any abnormality, he can be immediately regarded as a monster and beheaded on the spot!
Today, monitoring Niu Yuanping and looking for evidence that he is a demon is the most important task of these third-level demon-slayers!
Because of this, they followed him all the way here.
However, no one expected that as soon as they entered the green plum forest, they would all fall under the illusion.
And it’s a pretty powerful illusion!
As long as you stay in the woods, you will be constantly attacked by illusions!
Unless the source of the illusion is found! And destroy it!
Otherwise it will be difficult to crack.
But after all, Li Chunting and several third-level demon-slayers are not ordinary people.
Although it is not possible to completely break the spell in Qingmeilin, it is more than enough to escape safely and break the illusion on your own!
They quickly figured out the illusion's tricks and immediately exited Qingmei Forest.
"What should we do? We seem to have lost track of people!..." This was Qi Lucui speaking.
"It doesn't matter! At least we already know that this evil spirit has started to cause trouble!" Zhu Yushun stared at Qingmeilin and responded: "We must be careful not to let the evil spirit escape easily! Since he is using illusions, his purpose must be to confuse the audience! In order to find an opportunity to escape !”
"That makes sense!"
Several third-level demon-slayers immediately began to focus on the paths in all directions of Qingmeilin.
They have determined that there is definitely something wrong with Niu Yuanping!
It was such a beautiful forest, but why did an illusion appear as soon as he entered it? !
There is definitely something wrong.
Now that he has entered the woods, there is no way he will never come out!
Just waiting outside the woods!
Just come out and do it immediately!
It's a pity that Kan Xingming also fell into it...
This accident was something they had not expected. They thought that with so many third-level demon slayers acting together, they would be able to protect the safety of innocent people no matter what.
But they didn't expect to encounter such an emergency... No one expected that a powerful illusion was set up in the forest in advance!
Niu Yuanping has been lost, and Kan Xingming is also missing...
This is a false start...
But now we can only catch the evil spirits as soon as possible and minimize the losses!
"Look! It's Niu Yuanping!!"
A sudden shout immediately attracted everyone's attention and looked around.
really!
There is Niu Yuanping's figure in the distance, passing through the canopy of trees one by one, galloping towards the direction of Luqiu Mountain!
"Eh?! Why are you still missing Kan Xingming!!"
"Don't worry about Kan Xingming yet! Let's continue to track Niu Yuanping! Don't let him take advantage of the chaos!"
"No! How can we give up on Kan Xingming! Maybe he is facing a life and death crisis!!"
Suddenly, they were in a dilemma.
Niu Yuanping, who was being followed on one side, was accelerating and flying out of sight.
On the other hand, Kan Xingming is still missing, and his life or death is uncertain!
It would be really hard on my conscience to give up!
"Let's split up! Lucui and Chunting stay behind to decipher Qingmeilin's illusion and look for Kan Xingming! Let's continue to track Niu Yuanping!"
This is the countermeasure given by Yan Molun.
At this time, Zhu Yushun's eyes flickered.
"Okay! This is the only thing we can do!"
After some discussion, Li Chunting and Qi Lucui headed into the green plum forest to find Kan Xingming's whereabouts.
Hong Bingzhong, Zhang Bucheng, Yan Molun and Zhu Yushun flew into the distance to pursue Niu Yuanping's figure.
