When they were thinking about how to get to the golden tree safely, monsters were already surrounding them.
Compared to the beginning, there were already countless more monsters. At a glance, the wilderness outside was almost filled.
They have to go to the golden tree and pass these monsters.
However, they were not as violent as before. They did not even try to break through the defensive magic circle, but just watched them eagerly from outside.
Seeing the behavior of these monsters, Nan Xue and the others began to place magic arrays and skills to restore magic value.
Suddenly, Xiao Zhimiao remembered something that he had not noticed but was crucial.
From the time they came out until now, they have been chased and fought by monsters for a long time, but they have not seen the system display the monsters' attribute values.
In each copy, whether it is a monster or a monster, it has exclusive panel attributes.
But not these monsters.
When Xiao Zhimiao talked to the players, they all reacted.
Xie Zhi said: "I have discovered it before, but I never remembered to mention it."
Nan Xue said: "Me too, I thought I was the only one who didn't show it."
Xiao Zhimiao paced back and forth in the defensive formation. Ever since they had dinner, he had been bewitched and had hallucinations because of eating the food prayed from the golden tree.
She thought that the pain could pull the players out of the illusion. Perhaps, this illusion was not completely over.
She remembered that after solving the two humanoid illusions prayed by Aman and Sun Yuyue, the illusions showed their true colors, which were the appearance of the monsters in front of them, but in a state of death. After a while, the two illusions turned into ashes.
Does that mean that the person who prays out of the golden tree is itself an illusion?
Since it is an illusion, it is something that does not exist, at least not a real thing.
Then if they are not real things, what are the dinner they ate and the gold and silver jewelry that Sun Yuyue prayed for?
Xiao Zhimiao thought of the bloody little Sethia under the golden tree that he saw in the fantasy world. It was her flesh and blood that supported the golden tree.
The golden tree was grown from the flesh and blood of little Sethia. If the food they ate existed, but only changed its appearance, then what they ate was...
Xiao Zhimiao looked at Sun Yuyue suddenly. Sun Yuyue was startled by Xiao Zhimiao's cold eyes that she could not take back, "Miao...Sister Miao, what's wrong?"
Xiao Zhimiao asked: "Do you still keep the gold and silver jewelry that you prayed for before?"
Sun Yuyue: "Keep it, it's so valuable, I plan to take it out."
Xiao Zhimiao: "Then take it out and let me take a look."
"Ah good."
Sun Yuyue opened her system backpack and was stunned.
She quickly scanned the column of her backpack. Except for the items she fixed, the treasure she prayed out of the golden tree was missing.
No, it's not missing.
"The treasure I prayed for from the golden tree is gone, and this is all I have left..."
Sun Yuyue took out the thing, but instead of putting it in her hand, she let it appear on the ground.
It was a swimming golden sapling. After Sun Yuyue took it out for a while, it couldn't find its target and disappeared into the ground.
Now it seems that this golden sapling can only enter the human body if it is actively touched.
Xiao Zhimiao remembered that she had prayed under the golden tree before and a bag of gold coins came out. She opened the system backpack and saw that the bag of gold coins had disappeared, and only a golden sapling remained.
She took the golden sapling in her hand. Lu Qingyang's eyes widened and he was about to pat her hand. The golden sapling stayed in Xiao Zhimiao's hand for a few seconds and then disappeared into the palm of her hand.
Aman said: "Are you stupid? Why do you have to hold it in your hand!"
Xiao Zhimiao clapped his hands indifferently: "We all have this thing in our bodies now. What's the difference if there is one more and one less?"
Aman was startled: "
What do you mean? We haven’t touched those golden saplings, so how could we have this thing in our bodies? "
Xiao Zhimiao said: "You didn't touch the golden sapling, but you ate it."
"have eaten?"
Nan Xue's mind was spinning rapidly, and soon she understood what Xiao Zhimiao said, and asked in surprise: "You mean, the food that the villagers prayed to the golden tree was not real, but these golden saplings?"
Aman came back to his senses and couldn't believe it: "How is it possible? I don't even feel hungry now..."
Sun Yuyue patted her belly: "Me too, I've eaten quite a lot, I'm still full now, and I've also drank a lot of wine."
Xiao Zhimiao took out a dagger in his hand and said to them, "Isn't that right? Just open it and take a look."
She said to open it and take a look. It meant cutting the body open. Sun Yuyue immediately hid behind Nan Xue: "Don't cut me! Find someone else!"
Aman also took a step back and glared at her: "Why don't you cut it on yourself!"
Xiao Zhimiao smiled: "You're right, but I prefer those who sacrifice themselves. Is there any fearless warrior who can let me cut open and take a look?"
Xiao Zhimiao glanced at everyone, skipping Lu Qingyang and Xu Zhilan. They no longer needed to verify.
A hand stretched out from behind Xiao Zhimiao and grasped her hand.
"I come."
Xiao Zhimiao's eyes moved slightly, turned around, and handed over the knife: "Then do it yourself."
When Xie Zhi took Xiao Zhimiao's knife, he was still thinking about whether Xu Zhilan would take her knife without hesitation, cut open his chest with the knife, and show her his heart. Only in this way can a person with her personality pay attention and keep him by her side.
She looks like a companion, but she is like a puppet that can move on its own. When she is happy, she will flick it twice, and when she is unhappy, the puppet will move on its own.
He suddenly felt that Xiao Zhimiao was so similar to the golden sapling that could bewitch people without knowing it. She somehow made people trust her and be manipulated by her, and even now he had the knife in his hand. , according to her wishes, he cut open the chest to prove it to her.
Many people can do this. Even if they are not willing, with her character, even if she forcefully pulls someone, she will cut open that person's chest to verify, but he just wants to take the initiative to do something for her.
It's just because of her brother, Xie Zhi told himself.
Under Xiao Zhimiao's gaze, he inserted the dagger into his chest and then slashed hard.
After being in the game for so long, he had felt all kinds of pain. Looking at the girl in front of him, he suddenly seemed to have lost all pain.
Xiao Zhimiao held his hand holding the dagger, then moved it to one side, and took a closer look at his chest, "There really is..."
Hearing the tone of Xiao Zhimiao's words, Sun Yuyue widened her eyes and said, "Sister Miao, aren't you sure there will be?"
Xiao Zhimiao glanced at her sideways and said, "If you're sure, you still need to verify it."
Everyone: That makes sense.
Seeing that they were about to come over to take a look, Xiao Zhimiao called Xu Zhilan's Qiansi over and inserted the Qiansi into Xie Zhi's chest.
Everyone saw the tiny golden sapling in his chest, wrapped with blood around Qiansi, and was brought out by Qiansi.
Nan Xue looked at the blood-red filaments and said in surprise: "So it's because what we eat is golden saplings. They don't appear on the surface like Lu Qingyang does, but are buried deep in our flesh and blood?"
Xiao Zhimiao thought to herself, what you ate may not be the golden saplings, but most likely the flesh and blood of little Sethia. However, he was afraid that they would vomit on the spot, so he did not say anything.
Sun Yuyue put her hands on her chest, scratching everywhere as if she was itchy. "What should I do? Do we have to do a thoracotomy to get this thing out?"
Xiao Zhimiao pulled Qiansi out of Xie Zhi's chest, threw a healing spell at him, and said to Sun Yuyue: "I'm afraid not. If I could pull it out completely, Lu Qingyang wouldn't fall into the illusion."
He had just been chased by a monster while cursing, and it was obvious that he was still affected by the illusion.
When Sun Yuyue heard that she couldn't, she breathed a sigh of relief and started to worry again.
Get up: "What should we do?"
Nan Xue turned and looked in the direction of the golden tree: "Maybe the golden holy fruit is used again, maybe I can only pass the level."
To them, this illusion is either big or small. As long as they believe it exists, this illusion exists and can cause real harm. The monster with no attributes in front of them is the best proof.
But at least they knew it was an illusion.
"Let's go."
Xiao Zhimiao handed [Chuanshan] to Aman: "Give it back to you."
Aman stretched out his hand halfway and then took it back: "Forget it, just take it first."
She turned her face away from Xiao Zhimiao and said, "I'm just borrowing it from you temporarily. The hunter above is indeed very powerful. I can't deal with it, and it's useless to hold it."
Having said this, Aman whispered again: "If my brother were here, he would definitely be able to deal with it."
Xiao Zhimiao smiled and stroked the bowstring with his hand: "Then I'll take it, kid."
Aman frowned: "I told you I'm not a child."
Xiao Zhimiao glanced at her with a gentle smile on his face and took the lead out of the defensive magic circle.
Looking at her expression just now, Aman didn't know if it was his own illusion, but he always felt that it was much more real than her usual expression.
"Let's go Aman, follow." Nan Xue patted Aman, gathered flames in her hands and started to clear the way.
She also noticed that every time Xiao Zhimiao talked to Aman, she would be a bit casually teasing, her tone would be lighter than her usual, and even her smile would be a bit more sincere.
It's not that much different from her usual self. It's just that she seems to relax a little and not be so tense when facing Aman.
It's really strange, Aman is obviously a naughty and difficult person to lead, with a proud and bad temper.
Nan Xue asked herself, if it weren't for her brother, she wouldn't have been so patient with Aman. She was not a patient person in the first place.
Xiao Zhimiao led the way, squeezing her way through the monster group. Her magic power was sparingly used all the way, and now it was only half left. She could not use skills unless necessary.
The other players followed her and cleared the monsters all the way. Although it was a little slow, it was much better than when they dispersed before.
Xu Zhilan will not let go at critical moments. When it is time to nurse, he will nurse his teammates well. Xie Zhi will stay on the defensive shield all the way and pay attention to Xiao Zhimiao who is walking in front.
He knew that Xiao Zhimiao didn't walk with them because she was afraid that the hunters above would shoot at her at any time. The hunters' arrows were so powerful that they could knock their victims off their feet.
Xiao Zhimiao held [Chuanshan] in her hand, and was in a tense state of having to draw the bow at any time. The power and accuracy of the hunter's bow and arrow above were indeed powerful, and she could not take it lightly.
