Forging The Path To Godliness - Chapter 176
Chapter 176: Illusion
“Do you want this vine?” Ye Feng looked at Rasputin and waved the sturdy vine around.
Even though he said that, he was not handing it over to Rasputin.
“How can I take it?” Rasputin waved his hand and smiled bitterly: “You saved my life, how can I possibly take your loot? This poisonous vine monster was killed by you as well, I didn’t contribute to it, I have no rights to take it.”
“Moreover, if you had not pulled me back, I would have fallen into the swamp and likely got killed by the poisonous vine monster.”
“Fine then, I’ll take it.” Ye Feng nodded as his expression became friendlier.
It seemed that this Rasputin was a decent guy, he was not greedy at least.
The truth was, even if Rasputin was dragged into the swamp, as long as the poisonous vine monster did not kill him immediately, Ye Feng would be able to save him.
The swamp was too big, the two decided to find a way around it. It was too tough to try and cross the swamp directly.
“Brother, look at that tree!”
Once the two arrived at the periphery of the swamp, Rasputin suddenly pointed towards the side.
Ye Feng who had been observing the swamp looked as his eyes lit up.
“This is a longevity fruit tree?”
The fruits of the longevity fruit tree were very unique, although they were fruits, they could be used in forging to raise the durability of the equipment.
But for the current Ye Feng, only a thousand years longevity fruit would be useful in his stage six equipment.
Even so, getting a hundred years fruit was still a good gain.
“Let’s go and take a look.” Ye Feng looked at Rasputin with appreciation: “You are quite perceptive.”
“Hehe.” Rasputin scratched his head as he followed after Ye Feng.
Since they could see it in the blood fog, this longevity fruit tree was not too far from them. After speeding up, they quickly arrived at the tree.
“A thousand years longevity fruit tree!” Ye Feng quickened his footsteps, after confirming that there was no danger nearby, he went up the tree.
As he was vigilant, he checked the surroundings of the tree before starting to pluck the longevity fruits.
These fruits were quite fragile, he could not collect them using magic or long weapons.
But after Ye Feng plucked two fruits, he suddenly felt that the tree branch near him was pulled down.
He had not exerted any force.
“Brother Ye Feng, be careful!”
Although he did not see what attacked, after hearing Rasputin’s words, he immediately let go and jumped down the tree.
“What is this?”
Ye Feng took a few steps back and looked at the mutated beast that was on the tree.
“I don’t recognize it either.” Rasputin shook his head, but wariness could be seen clearly on his face: “It looks too weird.”
“Ox-Head and Horse-Face….” Although Ye Feng had never seen such a mutated beast, he had heard of it in his previous world.
It resembled the rumored Ox-Head and Horse-Face in the underworld, but this mutated beast had both traits in one body, a horse face on an ox head looked extremely weird.
“I can deal with it.” Ye Feng tilted his head and said: “You don’t need the longevity fruits on the tree?”
“No, in fact, I don’t know what use it has.” Rasputin shook his head and smiled bitterly.
The longevity fruit was rare among forging materials, if one was not a Blacksmith, they might not even have heard about it.
“Good, then be careful and protect yourself. We’ve never seen such a mutated beast, we don’t know its ability.” Ye Feng said as he shot a lightning bolt at it.
On this Demonic Dragon Island, he had gotten used to using lightning elemental spells, simply because they were super effective on the mutated beasts inside the blood fog.
The ox-head horse-faced beast was not large, it was around the size of a leopard.
Like what Ye Feng expected, the ox-head horse-faced beast was very fast, Ye Feng’s spells could not hit it.
“Then I’ll get closer!” Ye Feng smiled coldly as he charged up the tree by jumping on the branches.
Seeing that Ye Feng approached it, the ox-head horse-faced beast did not want to face him, it went further up the tree.
Ye Feng was not going to let it escape. So be it if this beast did not show up, but since it appeared, Ye Feng would not allow this threat to continue existing.
While Ye Feng was chasing it, the ox-head horse-faced beast suddenly stopped as it turned and pounced at Ye Feng.
Ye Feng subconsciously took a step back, but he felt like his left leg had stepped on something.
The ox-head horse-faced beast showed a human-like grin at this moment, by jumping on the tree branch, it hid itself on top of the tree.
Ye Feng looked down and saw a piece of crystal embedded on the tree.
Once his leg moved away, the entire longevity fruit tree started to shine, it emitted a dazzling luster.
“This is a trap?” Ye Feng looked around alertly, he quickly jumped down the tree.
“Ye Feng…” The moment he landed on the ground, he saw a beautiful figure in front of him.
It was Avril.
“Such a weak illusion, I can’t even immerse in it.” Ye Feng smiled coldly in his heart but he did not show this, he pretended to be affected as he walked forward.
“Avril, why are you here?” Ye Feng smiled gently, but he kept his alertness up.
He wanted to see what this illusion was meant to do, he also wanted to lure the ox-head horse-faced beast out.
“Because of that man who is with you.”
‘Avril’ looked quite upset as she grabbed Ye Feng’s hand.
“How can this be? You are not like Avril…” Ye Feng had just said that when ‘Avril’ suddenly took out a dagger and slashed at him.
Ye Feng could not dodge in time, although the mechanical armor was not damaged, a wound appeared on his arm.
“You are courting death!” Ye Feng raised his Wind Spirit Demon Sword and smashed ‘Avril’ like she was glass.
“So that’s it, injuries in the illusion are reflected in real life.” Ye Feng felt the pain in his arm as he frowned.
In that case, it was quite troublesome.
“Ahhh, I’ll kill you.” Right when Ye Feng was thinking, he suddenly heard Rasputin’s scream: “So you are the one who killed Anna!”
Ye Feng easily dodged Rasputin’s attack, while succumbing to his anger, Rasputin’s attacks were completely without skill.
“Strange, why is he affected by it?” Ye Feng dodged while looking behind Rasputin casually.
A blond hair girl was smiling.
“Is it because of the difference in strength? The illusion I saw could not even deceive a normal person.” Ye Feng kicked Rasputin while shooting a fireball at ‘Anna’.
The illusion seemed to be different each time. Each person was affected by a different one, if Rasputin was stronger and had the ability to be immune to such illusions, this would not be so troublesome.
The illusion was quite easy to deal with as well.
He just had to avoid getting killed while he was in the illusion.
“No!” Rasputin screamed in agony, but after Anna’s body shattered, he went into a daze and soon regained his senses.
