Chapter 19: Mist of Hallucination (1) (1/2)
”The mist that is currently surrounding us has something to do with your abnormal behavior before.” Yang Wei asked in surprise when this seemingly calm mist is causing Elder Jing to act irrationally.
”This is not your ordinary mist Yang Wei. It's called Mist of Hallucination where it will affect those who have a weak mind or when their spiritual qi became low.” Elder Jing replied to Yang Wei while using her spiritual sense to see where they are.
Currently, they reside in some secret herb gardens since they were completely isolated from the others members of their sect.
Everywhere is completely silent and calm but in a mysterious realm, the more quiet a place is, the more dangerous it is.
'Damn it, that turbulence of the portal really done us in.' Elder Jing cursed inwardly when she couldn't even detect the exit out of this place.
Yang Wei saw Elder Jing's solemn expression so he didn't just stand still either.
He was scouting the area as well but unlike Elder Jing's scope that's trying to find an exit, Yang Wei was looking for anything that's out of the place.
'Whenever there's a garden, there should be some pesticide smell since there should be bug-like creatures that are powerful in this world. But there's no smell.'
Yang Wei was sniffing and detecting if there are some remnants of the herb being contaminated.
However, Yang Wei discovered nothing of such and every herb in its perfect condition with no sign of being damaged in any way.
”Elder Jing.” Yang Wei called out to Elder Jing to speak about his discovery but was stopped when Elder Jing simply nodded her head.
”I know you probably discovered that this should be a sealed dimension since there are no entry and exit. Therefore, we'll have to be cautious since we have to walk and explore this place.” Elder Jing said slowly when her spiritual sense could not function properly.
As they now know this place is full of mysteries, they slowly walk forward with them being near each other's shoulders.
Occasionally, their shoulder would touch for being too close but it was better to be safe than sorry.
Walking for 10 minutes, Elder Jing and Yang Wei both noticed something. The mist of hallucination was intensifying and their spiritual qi consumption became faster.
”Not good, sooner or later, our mind will get invaded by this mist of hallucination.” Elder Jing said as she realized the drastic change.
Yang Wei nodded his head while wondering what caused the atmosphere here to change.
'Was it during the time we entered? No, if that's the case then I would have been affected as well since we weren't prepared for it.'
Thinking inwardly, Yang Wei suddenly thought of something. Turning his head, he looked at Elder Jing and tried to smell the aura on her.
*Sniff*
”What the heck are you doing Yang Wei? Are you looking for another beating?” Elder Jing shouted in embarrassment when Yang Wei suddenly sniffed on her.
Yang Wei ignores her outburst as he kneels down and starts smelling the herbs to confirm if his conjecture is correct.
