Chapter 697 Pathfinding
The vines beneath Ye Qing'an and Yi Moxu's feet seemed to come alive suddenly, their branches stretching rapidly towards the sky before closing in and tightly embracing each other, quickly forming a circular, enclosed space that trapped Ye Qing'an and Yi Moxu within the vine ball.
Ye Qing'an pursed her lips and lashed the vines with her whip.
The vines seemed to feel pain, and quickly shrank back, but before Ye Qing'an and Yi Moxu could rush out, other vines scurried over.
Ye Qing'an and Yi Moxu both frowned deeply.
The vines had completely coalesced into a ball, encircling them completely. Inside, it was pitch black, and nothing could be seen clearly. Only the question coming from her hand told Ye Qing'an that Yi Moxu was right beside her.
Ye Qing'an lowered her voice: "Actually, every time I accidentally fell into Ye Mei's illusion, I had a way to verify whether it was an illusion as quickly as possible."
"any solution?"
Ye Qing'an wrote two words on Yi Moxu's hand with her finger.
“Whenever I have doubts, I try to go there. If it’s an illusion, I can’t get in. If I can get in, it proves that it’s not an illusion.”
Yi Moxu understood Ye Qing'an's words: "So, does Madam want to verify this now?"
"Ah."
The two exchanged a glance and quickly focused their attention.
Soon, the two disappeared from the spot.
Upon seeing the familiar scenery within the Dreamlike Cloud Realm, Ye Qing'an and Yi Moxu exchanged a glance: "It's not an illusion?"
Ye Qing'an also felt something was strange. The sight of those vines coming to life was too unbelievable. They almost subconsciously thought they were in an illusion, but it turned out they weren't in an illusion.
Ye Qing'an pursed her lips: "Although the place we are in now is not an illusion, the Night Demon Clan's territory must be filled with all sorts of illusions. After all, the Night Demon Clan is best at weaving illusions."
"We must be careful and vigilant at all times."
Ye Qing'an stared blankly for a while, paced a few steps, and then suddenly said, "Every time I entered the illusion of the Cloud Dreamland before, the scene that the people around me saw was that I suddenly disappeared."
Before Ye Qing'an could finish speaking, Yi Moxu understood and raised an eyebrow at her: "So what do you want to do? Have the two of us walk one after the other, and the person behind us completely follow in the footsteps of the person in front? Or... bring out a third person and have him walk in front to test the illusion for us?"
Ye Qing'an looked up at Yi Moxu: "Although the Night Demon Clan can weave illusions, weaving illusions also takes time, so the entrances to illusions are mostly hidden in advance. If we can use people to test them, that would be feasible."
Yi Moxu nodded: "So, who should we use?"
"We absolutely cannot use our spirit beasts. We don't even know if they will be trapped and die in that illusion. We can't take that risk, or we won't even know how we died."
Ye Qing'an pondered for a moment: "Jiu Xiao knows a lot of spirit beasts. When he was in the Ye family, he would use some spirit beasts that had just gained intelligence or that had not yet gained intelligence but could transform into humans to do some simple things."
"Most of those spirit beasts are ownerless, and because they have only recently gained intelligence, their memories are not very good. They can only remember a few things, and they don't have many desires. The Night Demon Clan's illusions mostly use human emotions and desires to control them. If they have no desires, they are very difficult to control."
Ye Qing'an bit her lip: "I will summon Jiuxiao to ask him."
As soon as the summoning circle appeared, Jiuxiao quickly emerged from it.
As soon as he came out, Jiuxiao hurriedly said, "What's wrong with you? You just used a summoning array on me. Aren't you afraid of alerting the Night Demon Clan?"
"To stir up trouble... The snake is right here, who else could it possibly disturb?"
Ye Qing'an's lips curled up slightly, her face full of smiles.
"I'm not a snake!" Jiuxiao snorted, his eyes suddenly widening: "What the hell? I risked my life for you in the Night Demon Clan's territory, and you actually secretly hid in this Cloud Dream Realm?"
"Alright, I called you here because I have something important to discuss." Ye Qing'an pursed her lips and explained the matter: "Do you have any good candidates in mind?"
Jiuxiao narrowed his eyes: "So this is what you're here for..."
After saying that, he tilted his head and thought for a moment, then suddenly shouted, "I know!"
Jiu Xiao's eyes shone brightly, and he turned to look at Ye Qing'an: "For this kind of thing, I think the cat demon is the most suitable."
"cat?"
Jiuxiao nodded frantically: "I don't know if you've heard of it, but cats have nine lives. This isn't just a rumor; it's true. I know a cat demon who has nine lives. And she only recently gained intelligence and transformed into a human a few days ago."
"I think she is the most suitable."
"Okay, then go and find her."
Jiuxiao responded and quickly disappeared into the illusion.
After a while, Jiuxiao appeared: "I've already made all the arrangements."
As he spoke, he pulled a cat out of his sleeve.
"Because she is just a cat and has not yet recognized an owner, she was able to be brought into this Cloud Dreamland. You can carry her out when the time comes."
Ye Qing'an responded, and Jiu Xiao quickly added, "Then I'll be going now. I'll continue exploring."
Ye Qing'an looked up at Jiu Xiao: "I asked you to find water, did you find it?"
"Not yet, but the place I was in earlier should be quite close to water. I heard the sound of water; it should be a stream, not the sea. I found it by following a rabbit in the forest. I'll go check it out now."
"Ah."
After Jiu Xiao left, Ye Qing'an and Yi Moxu also left the Cloud Dream Realm one after another. Ye Qing'an returned to a place they had passed by earlier and put the cat on the ground.
As soon as the cat landed, it quickly transformed into the appearance of a woman.
Charming and adorable.
"Let's go."
Ye Qing'an spoke, and the cat hopped and skipped ahead.
Ye Qing'an looked up at the vines above. Perhaps because they had suddenly disappeared, the vines had returned to their original state.
Ye Qing placed a ball of spiritual energy to light the way, his hand gripping the whip tightly.
After walking for a while, we began to see scattered lights in the distance.
Soon, Ye Qing'an saw that treehouses seemed to be built on the big trees. The treehouses were all black, and from a distance, they were pitch black, with only some light coming through the windows.
You can even see some shadows cast on the window.
Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes: "The Night Demon Clan must already know of our existence, yet they remain completely indifferent? This scheme is a bit too obvious."
