Chapter 130: Titanic bird.

The mimics in front of Guo Luo only responded with bubbling sounds, unable to talk in the human language now that they were no longer in human form. Guo Luo grabbed the yellow scarf that Yao Jun had bought for her, tearing off a strip from it.

While keeping her right eye firmly locked onto the mimics, she tied the strip of cloth around her head, covering her left eye with it. She could not afford to use one hand to continuously cover her left eye, she needed both hands to battle.

“At least it won't distract me too much during battle.”

With the strip of cloth covering her left eye, Guo Luo let out a soft sigh. Whatever her illusions saw, she could see. This meant that she could still see properly during a battle, as she could throw out several smaller illusions and have them act as her eyes.

Of course, she could not do this in everyday life, as it would cost too much energy to keep her illusions active at all times, even if she only created a few small ones. She would simply have to learn to cope with having just one eye.

“Must get closer.”

Guo Luo was currently around 125 meters away from the mimics. If she managed to get within 100 meters, she would be able to place her illusions around them and move between them, giving her an advantage due to her increased mobility.

Guo Luo carefully stepped forward, and the mimics copied her actions, slowly stepping closer. Their slimy limbs twisted and distorted, turning into multiple sharp weapons that hung at the ready around their bodies.

The moment the mimics came within 100 meters of her, Guo Luo sprung into action. Several small illusions bloomed into existence around the mimics. The illusions were not even half the size of a normal human, but they came in all sorts of shapes and forms.

Some were in the shapes of Demonic beasts, some were very small people, while others were in the shape of fire or lightning. Of course, these illusions were only there to act as cover for the much smaller illusions that Guo Luo had placed in various positions, allowing her to transfer between them as she wished.

The mimics simply ignored the illusions and the attacks that the illusions sent at them. The weapons hanging around their bodies started swinging around their bodies at high speed, acting as both attack and defense.

Just as Guo Luo was about to move, one of the weapons hanging around one of the mimics shot out, elongating and heading at Guo Luo. Since the weapons were only a part of the mimic that they had transformed, they could move them just as freely as their weapons.

Guo Luo was not fazed, the mimic that attacked her was one of the two weaker mimics. The two weaker mimics stood slightly behind the stronger one, creating a triangle formation. With the attack approaching her, Guo Luo locked onto the mimic that attacked her.

Just when the attack was going to hit her, Guo Luo's form vanished. The mimic that attacked her did not even have the time to wonder what had happened, before a crystalline sword was pierced through its body.

With the sword piercing into its body, a surge of Qi was released from the sword. The Qi quickly started rampaging through the slimy and nearly formless body of the mimic. The Qi was like a beautiful rainbow coursing through the body of the mimic, but when it reached every part of it, the mimic exploded into a rain of light green slime.

Mimics were made out of slime, so they were basically completely formless. Most slashing, piercing, or bludgeoning attacks, unless they contained enough strength, would not deal any damage to a mimic.

But mimics were very weak to elemental attacks, as well as attacks based entirely on Qi. So when Guo Luo sent her Qi into the body of the mimic and made it rampage through its body, the only end for the mimic was to explode and die, its Demon Crystal completely pulverized.

“That's one.”

Of course, this was not effortless for Guo Luo. Even when she was in peak condition, the amount of times she could transfer between her illusions was limited. It simply cost far too much Qi to do so. Coupled with the fact that it required a large amount of Qi to kill the mimics, she would be drained of Qi quickly if she let the battle drag on.

With that thought in mind, Guo Luo's figure vanished once more, this time appearing behind the second one of the weaker mimics. Unlike the previous mimic, this one was slightly prepared, all its weapons attacking wildly the moment Guo Luo vanished.

The mimic felt the sensation of one of its weapons slicing through flesh coming from behind it, but just as it was about to send more attacks in that direction, a sword pierced through its body. Qi rampaged through its body, and its Demon Crystal was pulverized as its body exploded.

The sword that had sliced open a wound on Guo Luo's waist turned back into slime and slid down her body, leaving behind a bleeding gash in her waist. Guo Luo's face was pale from exhaustion and pain, but she ignored the pain from her waist for the moment. Now was not the time to worry about the pain.

The third and last mimic stood still, seemingly calmly looking at Guo Luo. The weapons hanging around its body moved in a slow rhythm, defending every corner and blind-spot that Guo Luo might take advantage of.

The mimic spoke out in its bubbling language, but there was no way for Guo Luo to understand what it was saying. When the mimic finished talking, it took action. All the slime that had been scattered around after its two companions were killed started rising, turning into sharp weapons that covered the entire area.

With the entire area covered in sharp weapons, no matter where Guo Luo wanted to move, there would be danger. After it controlled the slime of its former comrades, the mimic did not move closer to Guo Luo, content with keeping its distance to attack from a safe place.

“Halt.”

While Guo Luo was trying to figure out a way to deal with the large amount of weapons in a way that would not drain all of her Qi, a powerful voice rang out throughout the entire area. The moment the voice rang out, all the weapons that the mimic had created turned back into slime, falling to the ground. The mimic itself started trembling in great fear.

“Harming her is fine, but I cannot let you kill this one.”

The voice rang out again, and the one who spoke also showed himself. Out from the valley that Guo Luo had just climbed, a titanic figure flew out. Its body resembled Little Gray, but its feathers were a silvery-gray in color, and its wings were large enough to cover the sky and cause the land beneath it to descend into darkness.

The eyes of the titanic bird landed on the remaining mimic, its words containing an undeniable majesty. After its words rung out and its eyes landed on the mimic, the mimic started dissolving before Guo Luo's eyes, its body turning into dust that vanished with the wind.

“Leave this place, little one, you are far too weak to be here.”

After the mimic dissolved, the eyes of the titanic bird landed on Guo Luo. It spoke out once more, using its wings to point at the plain, indicating that she should head in that direction.

After its eyes moved away from her, Guo Luo felt a strange energy surround the gash on her waist. The gash rapidly vanished, as if it had never existed in the first place. Guo Luo thought for a moment that her entire body would be healed, but when the gash on her waist had been healed, the strange energy vanished.

“Thank you!”

Guo Luo sent a deep bow at the titanic bird, before turning her body and running towards the plain. She did not mind that the titanic bird had not restored her eye, after all, just it healing the wound on her waist was beyond her expectation.

After Guo Luo started running, the titanic bird turned towards the volcano in the distance. Its entire body started growing illusory and transparent, before it suddenly vanished and re-appeared above the burning wasteland where Yao Jun had first met the dragon.

“Why have you come here, Little Tian?”

The moment the titanic bird appeared above the burning wasteland, in the same place where the dragon had appeared from, a small crack opened in the earth. Out from the crack walked a middle-aged man clad in deep crimson robes. The man was tall and muscular, long crimson hair, like fire, adorned his head. Two golden eyes stared directly at the titanic bird.

“Little Gu. I met someone who carried the same scent as Master, and knowing how irritable you can be at times, I have come to warn you to not lay a hand on her.”

The titanic bird's figure rapidly shrank, turning into a slightly short middle-aged man. He was clad in silvery-gray robes and had long gray hair, a slight stubble adorning his chin. His eyes were a ghostly gray that drilled directly into the red haired middle-aged man.

“I don't need you to remind me. There is no way I would kill someone who has a connection to master.”

The red haired man looked at the gray haired man with an annoyed expression as he responded, waving his hand in dismissal.

“I have already met his successor.”

Seeing that the gray haired man was still staring at him with accusing eyes, the red haired man opened his mouth again, his words greatly shocking the gray haired man.

“They have also entered this world?!”

The gray haired man could not help but be excited. It was only with the help of their master's successor that they would be able to leave this place. It was a good world that their master had created for them, but after being trapped there for countless years, they yearned for the outside world.

“Indeed. But he carried a bit too much arrogance for a person who was so weak, so I made sure to give him a good fright.”

The red haired man snickered slightly when he remembered Yao Jun's expression while he ran towards the mountain. It was fine to be arrogant, as long as you had the strength to back up that arrogance. The Yao Jun that he saw, did not have that strength.

“What did you do to him?”

The gray haired man looked at the red haired man with suspicion as he cautiously asked. This red haired man was famous for his irritable and irrational actions, there was no telling what he would do to frighten someone.

“I did nothing, I merely frightened him. He is currently headed towards Little Xun's place. She is a bit more irrational than me, so it is her you should warn.”

The red haired man shrugged his shoulder and pointed towards the forest that Yao Jun was heading towards. After he did so, he no longer paid attention to the gray haired man and returned to the crack in the earth, vanishing into it.

The gray haired man could only release a sigh upon seeing the actions of the red haired man. He turned towards the forest in the distance, his body turning illusory and vanishing from the area.
