Chapter 1698: Chapter 1315: Illusion, Heart Demon, Parents
Only to see that the three servants of the Hidden World Clan walking ahead suddenly wobbled as if they were out of control. They mumbled something unintelligible and started to twist their necks despairingly...
The people standing behind them witnessed this and their eyes widened in horror!
Meanwhile, Gu Changsheng acted almost simultaneously. With a flash from her hand, an inner force shot straight past the people ahead of her and struck the tops of those three’s heads. With a voice full of pressure, she yelled into the echoing cave, "Wake up! It’s an illusion! What you hear, see, and feel isn’t real! It’s a mirage!"
Gu Changsheng’s actions, along with her shout, were like a bucket of cold water splashing onto the three servants. Their figures wobbled again, but they managed to steady themselves. Fresh from a narrow escape, cold sweat trickled down their heads as they breathed a sigh of relief...
"An illusion! It’s an illusion! I heard my child calling me, but my child is in the valley hiding with the noble families! There are illusions here!"
The first to regain his senses quickly reminded everyone.
At this moment, they were all in the same boat. You couldn’t escape alone, nor could you leave anyone behind. What was the point of distinguishing between friend or foe now?
Surviving and getting out alive was more important than anything else!
"Indeed, it is so!" Gu Changsheng heard these words, her bright face becoming even more somber!
She knew that if the path could simply not be turned back, how would it earn the name No Return Path?
Since the game was set, the one who designed this No Return Path surely had plans to ensure no one could leave, likely leaving a trap!
As she expected!
Illusions!
This bizarre cave, with its dark and obscure lighting, mottled halo, and hazy mist, was indeed the perfect place to set up an illusion formation!
Moreover, in such a place, one wouldn’t even need illusions. A timid person would involuntarily turn around to look back...
And that turn would mean death!
Fortunately, the deaths of Yu Qingqiu and his servant had alerted them. Otherwise, ignorant as they were, they might not have realized this crucial point and fallen into the adversary’s trap!
"Keep moving forward. Those behind supervise those in front. No matter what, don’t let the people ahead turn back!"
To retreat now? Clearly impossible!
Deep inside, Gu Changsheng had already made a decision!
Her deep voice reminded everyone, making the expression on her face even more vigilant!
The group began to move again, cautiously proceeding forward. This time, with Gu Changsheng’s warning, everyone remained on high alert...
"Seal your senses, hear nothing, see nothing, hold firm your mind, move forward!"
Stopping someone from turning back once more, Gu Changsheng’s face was full of vigilance as she spoke solemnly.
"Hold firm your mind! Hold firm your mind..."
The people from the Hidden World Clan at the front softly repeated after Gu Changsheng...
The group advanced slowly, yet despite Gu Changsheng’s warnings and assistance, some occurrences still surpassed her expectations...
Among the group, a member of the Hidden World Clan suddenly turned around without any prelude or sign. By the time Gu Changsheng reacted to stop them, it was already too late...
An expression of terror appeared on his face. In the instant of his turn, all his actions froze. The bizarre scene of Yu Qingqiu’s death replayed, the shocked pupils, the horrified expression, the life quickly fading...
Everything unfolded like a slow-motion scene, repeating in front of those behind him!
"Ah!"
The person behind couldn’t help but exclaim.
This exclamation sent a ripple of alarm through those ahead, making them want to turn back to see what had happened...
"Don’t turn back! Keep moving!"
Gu Changsheng, eyes wide, fixed on the already dead person and immediately reminded those ahead, halting their impulse to turn around...
Dead!
Just dead!
Turning back would only cause unnecessary deaths and solve nothing!
Even at this point, Gu Changsheng hadn’t determined how the person had died!
It wasn’t a curse, there were no external injuries, and it wasn’t poisoning... just inexplicably and eerily dead...
