Only a quarter of the sandalwood was left. I hurriedly ran frantically down the stone steps, the higher I went, the narrower they became, at most only allowing two people to walk side by side. The front quickly became clogged with human and demonic figures pushing and shoving each other as anyone grabbed the chance to go through first. I curiously asked a snake-bodied, human-faced demon, "Man, what's in the cave? Are you all running forward like crazy?"
The demon glanced at me impatiently, "Are you out of your mind? We were all trapped in the mirage painting by the Mirage Dream Tower, now that we have a chance to escape, we still have to run quickly!"
I was shocked in my heart, still waiting to ask for an understanding, the demon has twisted the snake waist, "hiss" sound scurrying towards the front. I was confused, listen to the tone of the monster, they are not illusions, but the same as me, are trapped in the mural alive. Time was short, and I didn't have time to think too much as I hurriedly squeezed my way forward.
There was chaos in front of me, because the road was narrow and crowded, the human and demons were in a hurry to get past, and soon there were people breaking and fighting. Not long after, blood splattered as the human and demons began to kill each other.
Thick streams of blood flowed over the stone steps, and the air was filled with the smell of blood, like a Shura hell. More and more human-demons killed each other, blood and flesh flew everywhere, corpses and bones were everywhere, a corpse soon turned into a stone statue. I was a bit at a loss for words, these human and demon all killed red-eyed, each face full of madness, in such a killing atmosphere, I also became a bit restless.
A flower-faced demon suddenly roared furiously and lunged at me, I dodged to the side, performed the Phantom Dance, and split my arms left and right, striking at his temples on both sides. The monster grunted, his body swayed, and his big mouth violently spewed out a spike, which hit my shoulder with a "duk" sound. Fortunately, my Cloud Light and Stone Flow Flying Dan has become a great success, the moment the spike enters the flesh, my body is as firm as a cloud and stone, the spike penetrates into the muscle by half an inch, and then it can't go deeper. I endured the pain, leapt up, spun round in the air, a dozen legs as fast as lightning, kicking at his throat continuously.
The demon fell to the ground with a loud bang, his throat bone cracked, blood splashed out like a fountain, looking at the corpse on the ground, a trace of pleasure suddenly arose in my heart, killing people, turned out to be so cool. I never thought that I, Lin Fei, would also have the day to manipulate other people's lives!
In the chaos of the fight, a few more demons died under my Charming Dance, I was in the midst of killing, when I inadvertently glanced at the sandalwood, only a short piece of it was left. I was dumbfounded, looking back at the surrounding, hissing and roaring, blood overflowed the stone steps, people and demons are like crazy beasts, blindly biting and fighting, completely forgetting the original purpose, on the contrary, no one ran forward.
My feverish brain began to calm down, inside the cave is a bloody boiling slaughterhouse, but that has nothing to do with me, my goal is only to find the oil lamp.
I immediately swept towards the stone steps at speed, performing the technique of Phantom Dance, deftly avoiding a single human demon and no longer tangling with them. It was like decisively pulling out and jumping out of the chessboard of slaughter.
Cave kill again lively, I also turn a blind eye, only as a theatre props scenery, in my eyes, around the human and demon is just a grain of black and white pieces of mutual entanglement, addicted to the bureau, difficult to extricate themselves, lost their nature. The sound of killing gradually far away, all the way to fly, long stone steps, almost to the end.
On the highest stone step, the turquoise lantern flickered with ghostly light, and the big fish, like a lone spirit, carrying a lantern, stood tall and stared at me in a ghostly manner.
"How is it you?" I was taken aback, my thoughts electrified, could Mirage Saburo be trying to pull some kind of trick?
"What a surprise, you actually managed to come all the way here." The big fish said in surprise, glancing at the sandalwood in my hand, which still had half an inch left.
I laughed coldly, "Did Mirage Saburo ask you to stop me? Hmph, I knew this kid talks like a fart and doesn't keep his word at all!"
The big fish said indifferently, "The master will not go back on his word, the hole is already at the end, and I'm here for the last hurdle. If you break through me, it will naturally be as you wish." Moving away, on the wall of the cave behind her was embedded a large mirage carved in stone, the mirage's wide mouth open, containing an ancient oil lamp.
You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.
My heart perked up and I rubbed my fists together, "You and I are going to fight? Don't blame me for being spicy and swelling your delicate face!"
A strange look appeared on the big fish's face, slowly, lifting the lantern, the miserable turquoise light shot straight at my face. "The last level is not to fight you, but to make you guess a riddle. If you guess correctly, I will let you light the lantern smoothly. If you guess wrong, the incense in your hand will automatically go out, and you will never be able to light this oil lamp again."
I was slightly stunned, "Guess a riddle? You're not joking, are you?"
"Who has the time to joke with you?" A crisp voice suddenly rang in my ears, my eyes blinked, and beside the big fish there was suddenly a small fish, who was also carrying a turquoise-coloured lantern, looking at me with a face full of indifference.
I said suspiciously, "Then you guys quickly let me guess the riddle, I don't have time to waste time with you guys!"
"It's simple, make a guess, which one of us two is the big fish? Who is the little fish?" The little fish smiled wryly, her delicate body suddenly rotated rapidly, at the same moment, the big fish also rotated rapidly, the two silhouettes were like two whirlwinds, dazzlingly entangled together, a moment later, the silhouettes abruptly separated, and two identical faces appeared in front of me.
I rubbed my eyes, the original big fish and small fish although look alike, but the former older, the corner of the mouth also has an extra mole, while the two mermaids in front of me is as if carved from a mould, not only the face is exactly the same, even the same height and weight.
I was dumbfounded, who is the big fish? Who is the small fish? The one on the left or the one on the right? I couldn't tell the difference anymore. Looking at the two mermaids, I planned and coughed, "As long as I guess correctly, I will be considered to have broken through this level?" I remembered that the big fish's voice was a bit hoarser than the little fish's, so as long as I could lure them into talking, I would be able to tell the difference.
"That's right." The mermaid on the left said.
"You're running out of time, so why don't you hurry up and guess?" The mermaid on the right went on.
My heart sank, they even became identical in their speaking voices, how could I tell them apart? The half-inch sandalwood incense burned unhurriedly, and my heart raced.
"You can take your time to see." The mermaid on the left laughed daintily, the mermaid on the right bristled, "We're not in a hurry anyway."
I thought about it and laughed, "Besides looking slowly, can I touch it slowly?" Without waiting for them to answer, I reached out and grabbed the faces of the two mermaids with each hand. As I see it, the reason why the big fish and the small fish have become identical in appearance must be because they have cast some kind of illusion to confuse my eyes. If I could touch their skin, I might be able to tell the difference. The little fish was younger than the big fish, and her skin should be fuller and more elastic.
"Feel it all you want." The two mermaids said daintily at the same time, not dodging, letting my hands fall on their faces. I pinched, both faces were delicate and smooth, the feel was exactly the same! I don't believe it, from their faces to their necks, and from their necks to their soft breasts, and then to their cold fish tails. Damn it, it's still no different!
Sandalwood incense burned away half again, I was doubtful and anxious, if I really can't do it, I can only bet on luck, anyway, there is a fifty per cent certainty that I can guess correctly. A glance, I suddenly inadvertently found, in the turquoise lantern reflection, there are two silhouettes on the cave wall slightly swaying. My heart jolted, repeatedly looked at the cave wall, yes, even including me, a total of only two figures were reflected!
I immediately burst into ecstasy, took a closer look, one shadow was mine, the other shadow was of the mermaid on the left, the mermaid on the right had no shadow at all. At this point, the answer was calling out, the one on the left was the big fish and the one on the right with no shadow was an impostor! Thinking of this, I blurted out, "The one on the left is ......"
The words suddenly stopped at the mouth, not right! My heart flinched, what makes me say that the one with the shadow is the big fish? The other one, since it was a small fish that changed out, should likewise leave a shadow. Unless the two mermaids in front of me were both changed by the same person, that's why only one shadow was reflected on the stone wall!
"You said, who is the one on the left?" The two mermaids' beautiful eyes flashed as they prodded in unison.
