"Master, I'm coming out to help you." Hu Miao's figure flashed, appearing beside Ye Yunfei. Nine faintly discernible fox tails swayed gently behind her, releasing billowing illusionary mist.
Following that, Hu Miao directly revealed her true form, transforming into a massive Primordial Heavenly Fox. Her figure flashed as she charged forward.
The five Illusion Beasts that had been jointly attacking Ye Yunfei and the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm were suddenly met with the appearance of a huge pink fox. All of them halted, frozen in surprise.
They stopped their attacking movements and stood there, looking at Hu Miao with puzzled gazes.
The nine thick fox tails behind Hu Miao simultaneously lashed forward. Each tail conjured densely packed afterimages. For a moment, thousands upon thousands of fox tails intertwined, weaving together into a vast pink net that swept forward.
"Hu Miao, your current strength is even greater now." Ye Yunfei said happily upon seeing the technique Hu Miao displayed.
"Master, I've already refined some of the Beast Cores you gave me earlier, so my power has increased quite a bit again," Hu Miao replied with a smile.
When Hu Miao launched her attack, the five Illusion Beasts ahead actually began to retreat step by step.
"What's going on? These five guys seem really scared of you, but your strength isn't necessarily greater than ours. Why are they so afraid of you?" The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm immediately asked curiously.
"Could it be that your Primordial Heavenly Fox clan specifically counters Illusion Beasts? Is this a case of 'each thing has its conqueror'?" The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm added.
"The bloodline of our Primordial Heavenly Fox clan is indeed far more advanced than that of the Illusion Beasts," Hu Miao answered. "But I don't know why these five Illusion Beasts are so afraid of me either. In my inherited memories, our Primordial Heavenly Fox clan doesn't specifically suppress Illusion Beasts! The illusion techniques inherited by our two races have their own respective strengths and unique characteristics. Of course, in an actual fight, our Primordial Heavenly Fox clan isn't afraid of Illusion Beasts. Generally, we are stronger because our bloodline is nobler."
At that moment, the five Illusion Beasts retreated faster and faster. Then, these five monsters directly rushed back into that stone tablet and vanished.
"It seems these five guys are indeed terrified of you. They were actually scared off by you," the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm said, somewhat surprised.
Right then, Hu Miao's body suddenly stiffened. A shocked expression appeared on her face as she stood there completely still. Her gaze was fixed on the tall stone tablet ahead, as if she had discovered something.
"What is it, Hu Miao? Have you found something?" Seeing this, Ye Yunfei became curious and immediately moved to Hu Miao's side to ask.
But Hu Miao didn't answer, focusing intently on gazing at the tall stone tablet ahead.
"Hu Miao must have discovered something," Hun Lao transmitted to Ye Yunfei via Sound Transmission.
"Master, please wait for me here. I need to enter this stone tablet to explore. This tablet might be a great opportunity for me," Hu Miao suddenly said to Ye Yunfei.
"A great opportunity? Alright then, I'll accompany you inside," Ye Yunfei replied after a moment of thought, somewhat surprised by Hu Miao's words.
"No, Master, I'll go in alone. Because this stone tablet might be a sacred artifact of my clan that was lost to the outside world," Hu Miao shook her head as she answered.
"What? This stone tablet is a sacred artifact of your Primordial Heavenly Fox clan that was lost?" Ye Yunfei was somewhat shocked upon hearing Hu Miao's words.
"Yes, Master. Actually, every time my bloodline breaks through and upgrades, I awaken some of the clan's inherited memories. So I have some understanding of ancient matters concerning our race. This stone tablet before us is highly likely to be a sacred artifact left behind by our Primordial Heavenly Fox clan in ancient times. Since I've encountered it, I absolutely cannot miss it. This tablet could represent a tremendous opportunity for me," Hu Miao explained.
"Master, wait here for me. I'm going to enter the tablet now," Hu Miao added.
"Alright then, Hu Miao, be careful. Take these things for protection." Ye Yunfei took out a large batch of items, placed them into a spatial ring, and handed it to Hu Miao.
These items included Antidote Divine Pills, specialized fantasy realms to supplement illusion dao energy, and many other treasures suitable for Hu Miao's use.
After receiving the spatial ring, Hu Miao's figure flashed as she walked towards the stone tablet ahead.
"Can you perceive any space inside that stone tablet?" Hun Lao suddenly asked Ye Yunfei.
"I can't perceive anything," Ye Yunfei was taken aback for a moment before answering.
"I can't perceive anything either," Hun Lao said.
"That shows this stone tablet is definitely extraordinary, since even we cannot sense its interior," Hun Lao continued.
"Yes, this stone tablet is certainly not ordinary," Ye Yunfei nodded as he looked at the towering tablet before him.
By this time, Hu Miao had already walked to the base of the stone tablet. The densely packed Illusion Beasts that had filled the surrounding space earlier suddenly vanished without a trace, leaving only the churning, surging white mist.
Hu Miao's true form stood before the tall stone tablet, her nine fox tails swaying gently behind her. Her pink body appeared faintly discernible amidst the white mist.
Ye Yunfei continuously perceived Hu Miao with his Soul Power energy and gaze.
Suddenly, Ye Yunfei noticed Hu Miao's body continuously shrinking. She then transformed into a stream of pink light that directly merged into the tall stone tablet, disappearing.
"It seems Hu Miao has already entered the interior of that stone tablet," Hun Lao immediately transmitted to Ye Yunfei via Sound Transmission.
"We'll wait for her here," Ye Yunfei said. He found a spot nearby, sat down cross-legged, and began to rest with his eyes closed.
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm also directly entered the Illusionary Shadow Tower and began to rest quietly.
"Why is there so much fog here? I feel like I've already lost my sense of direction." After an indeterminate amount of time, Ye Yunfei suddenly heard a voice. His heart stirred, and his gaze turned towards the direction from which the voice came.
"This plain is very strange. We should leave quickly," another voice spoke up at that moment.
"Those two seem to be from the Rune Sacred Land. I recognize their voices and auras," Hun Lao transmitted to Ye Yunfei.
"Yes, I recognize them too," Ye Yunfei nodded.
"I keep feeling that the surrounding space is unreal. This mist seems to have sealed the space here. The range I can perceive is very small, as if I've become blind," another voice chimed in.
"This mist not only blocks my vision, but it also seems to have sealed my perception. I suspect we might have entered an Illusion Formation. This mist has a disorienting effect. Everyone, quickly take out Break Illusion Talismans. The Break Illusion Talismans of our Rune Sacred Land are specifically designed to break illusion arrays," a voice instructed.
Then, *Boom! Boom! Boom!…*
One yellow talisman after another appeared within the churning white mist in the distance, directly exploding and releasing powerful energy that instantly dispersed a large area of the surrounding white mist.
"This white mist indeed has a disorienting effect! Our talismans are working. Quickly take out more to break through this white mist, then we'll leave this strange plain," someone exclaimed joyfully.
But at that very moment, one Illusion Beast after another appeared, charging towards that direction and launching ferocious attacks.
Ye Yunfei saw a large number of Illusion Beasts continuously emerging in the distance, rushing towards those Rune Sacred Land members like a tide, surrounding and attacking them.
By now, Ye Yunfei could clearly see that a total of four people from the Rune Sacred Land had come.
Currently, these four members of the Rune Sacred Land were surrounded by a large number of Illusion Beasts, their faces filled with both alarm and fury.
At that moment, one of the Rune Sacred Land members continuously took out various talismans and threw them around. These talismans were very powerful, exploding repeatedly and shattering the bodies of the Illusion Beasts swarming towards them.
But even if these Illusion Beasts' bodies were shattered, as long as their Beast Cores remained intact, they could quickly recover.
"These Illusion Beasts are truly a bit terrifying. If Hu Miao hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known either. Even if their bodies are destroyed, it doesn't cause them much harm. As long as their Beast Cores remain, they can quickly regenerate and fight again. It's practically unkillable," Ye Yunfei sighed inwardly from afar, watching the dense swarm of Illusion Beasts besiege those few Rune Sacred Land members.
"Not good! There are too many of these monsters. We can't seem to kill them all," after another moment passed, the four Rune Sacred Land members began to panic. Although the talismans they brought were powerful, their quantity was ultimately limited.
