Chapter 431: Mirage Demon, Borrowing a Treasure [Subscribe Request]_3
On the contrary, if the illusion triggered the good and fearful sides of Zhou Chun's heart, all Zhou Chun had to do was wake up, and the illusion would naturally break.
However, truly masterful illusions often combined both aspects, deceiving a person into dying within them unnoticed.
The black dragon head previously transformed by the Mirage Demon appeared so lifelike, coupled with the indistinguishable underwater cave environment, indicated that it must have been to that place and seen the owner of the black dragon head.
Zhou Chun suspected in his heart that the owner of the black dragon head was likely a Fifth-order Demon King!
That's why he felt that the roots of the Mirage Demon were not simple.
After a long contemplation alone by the water, Zhou Chun went directly back to the Scale Frog Alien Clan tribe.
"High Priest Wukulu, the illusion skills of that Mirage Demon are quite formidable. Zhou Mou currently has no confidence that I can kill it. I need to go back to my clan to prepare first, please endure a little longer."
Inside the Scale Frog Alien Clan tribe, Zhou Chun, upon his return, looked at High Priest Wukulu and emphatically stated his intentions.
Hearing this, High Priest Wukulu sighed and had no choice but to agree.
Afterward, Zhou Chun directly returned to his clan.
Upon arriving back in Jingguo Country, Zhou Chun explained the situation to Zhou Mingde and then went straight to the Su Family in Jiangzhou.
As far as Zhou Chun knew, his cousin-in-law, Su Yunniang, was a master of illusion and expert in the art of charming illusions.
He wanted to seek Su Yunniang's advice and help through his cousin-in-law Su Yuzhen.
Learning that her cousin needed help, Su Yuzhen didn't hesitate and immediately took Zhou Chun to the Moon Wheel Sect to meet Aunt Yunniang.
"Ha, what wind blows today that brings you and Yuzhen here to visit Auntie? It turns out you came to ask for something!"
Inside the cave dwelling, upon knowing Zhou Chun's purpose, Su Yunniang immediately sneered coldly and couldn't resist taunting him.
This left Zhou Chun feeling quite embarrassed.
Although that was not his intention, the reality did seem to imply it, making it hard for him to refute.
Fortunately, Su Yuzhen knew how to take care of people's feelings. Seeing this, she immediately went forward, grabbed Su Yunniang's arm, shook her body, and coquettishly said, "Aunt, what are you saying? My husband and I always concentrate on our cultivation. We hardly see each other as it is, how could we possibly neglect you intentionally? Besides, you just succeeded in Core Formation not long ago, and it's essential for you to focus on refining your Divine Skills. How could we bother your cultivation frequently?"
Seeing her act this way, Su Yunniang couldn't help but pinch her cheek lightly and said, "Always taking his side, huh? Truly, a married daughter is like water splashed out. With a husband, you forget about your aunt!"
"That's not true, I dare not forget about you, Aunt, no matter what. You have cared for me the most since I was little!"
Su Yuzhen then leaned her whole body close to Su Yunniang as if embracing her mother.
During this playful banter, the awkward Zhou Chun finally figured out what to say.
He quickly spoke respectfully, "Aunt, you are right in your reprimand. I have indeed visited here too seldom. Whenever I am free in the future, I'll definitely come to greet you together with Yuzhen."
"Then you, young man, better remember your words today. I am waiting to see your performance."
Su Yunniang glanced at him and spoke indifferently.
She didn't really push Zhou Chun any further, sparing him further embarrassment.
Next, after carefully enquiring about Zhou Chun's needs and after some thought, she said, "Since you've sought me out, I can't allow you to leave empty-handed."
"Here, I have a Third Order high-grade Magic Artifact called 'Colorless Illusory Bead'. This treasure can be used to cast illusions to confound enemies and can release dispelling light to disrupt and break illusions. You may borrow it for now."
Saying this, she slapped her Storage Pouch on her waist and took out a colorless, transparent Magic Artifact bead and tossed it to Zhou Chun.
"Thank you, Aunt, for lending me the treasure!"
Zhou Chun caught the bead and quickly bowed in thanks.
Su Yunniang looked at him with a serious expression, "Although this item is not a Dharma Treasure, it is still an artifact inherited from my Sect's predecessors and is a property of the Sect. You must use it well and not damage it; otherwise, I will face punishment at the Sect."
"Yes, I understand, and I will surely protect it well."
Zhou Chun's heart tightened, and he solemnly promised.
Next, Su Yunniang explained some tips on breaking illusions and also explained the use of the "Colorless Illusory Bead."
After Zhou Chun memorized everything, he bid farewell to Su Yunniang and his cousin Su Yuzhen and directly left.
