Divine Beast Creator
Chapter 2314 - 2315: Awkward Staff Members
Although Qi Chen felt he didn’t have the ability, under Feng Yuan’s persuasion, he still walked to the front of the team. Dou Yanlan saw this and confirmed her suspicion.
Because Feng Yuan definitely understood better than herself what exactly Qi Chen’s combat intuition was like. That he would agree to let Qi Chen go in front, besides causing a stir, was more likely that Qi Chen’s combat intuition could be effective against illusions.
No matter how this Maze of Mirror changes, it cannot depart from the realm of illusion. Of course, Feng Yuan knew that there was also the power of the Data Domain mixed within it, but this was nothing, as Qi Chen’s combat intuition was equally effective against it.
"Strange... why does it feel safe here?"
Qi Chen was somewhat puzzled as he kept feeling around on one of the mirrors. This air-wall-like mirror had a tangible entity, yet in Qi Chen’s intuition, this place was passable? How could that be possible?
Unless they broke the mirror. However, the Maze of Mirror was just an amusement project; how could they possibly break the mirror to pass — that would cost money.
"Sometimes, trusting your intuition isn’t a bad thing, is it?"
Feng Yuan looked at that mirror with some curiosity because he hadn’t released his Divine Sense and could only see Qi Chen seemingly touching an air wall.
This wasn’t surprising either. After all, the mirrors of the Maze of Mirror originally had this characteristic. Or rather, it was these mirrors that made it impossible to distinguish reality from illusion that were the main selling point of the Maze of Mirror.
Upon hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Qi Chen hesitated for a moment and pressed forcefully, and ended up having his hands go through the obstruction.
"Is there really a mechanism?"
Feng Yuan was also stunned. He said that because he wasn’t sure what was happening, but considering the Maze of Mirror itself had no danger, he let Qi Chen trust his intuition.
There are few people like him with combat intuition; the designer of the Maze of Mirror wouldn’t bother targeting such a low-probability event.
Walking to the spot Qi Chen stood earlier, Feng Yuan curiously knocked on that air wall. If Qi Chen hadn’t already gone through, Feng Yuan really would have thought this was a mirror, especially since the reflection on the other side was doing the same action.
As soon as Qi Chen exerted force earlier, the reflection disappeared suddenly, and then he went inside, could it be...
Thinking of something, Feng Yuan mimicked Qi Chen’s action with a slight force. Sure enough, the resistance disappeared. Passing through that air wall, Feng Yuan turned to look at Veronia and the others.
Soon everyone came over using the same method. Veronia looked around and said,
"I thought we’d switched to the Mirror World, didn’t expect it was just a little trick."
"Illusion?"
Feng Yuan was startled. He also thought the Maze of Mirror had expanded into the Mirror Image World, but hearing Veronia, it seemed not, and it was just a simple illusion disguising the passage.
"Not exactly, though very faint, I felt the space has shifted; now it should be within the Data Domain. Why they designed it this way, I really can’t understand."
Veronia thought for a moment and shook her head, saying she wasn’t clear about the designer’s intention. However, the passage was hidden well. But how are they sure others could discover such details?
Could it be an Easter egg?
Not only Veronia, but Feng Yuan and the others were also puzzled as to why the Maze of Mirror had such a difficult-to-discover area for ordinary people.
You have to know, in that endless mirror maze, ordinary people basically rely on their hands to confirm where the walls are, while this place requires force to squeeze into. For ordinary people, who would press against mirrors for fun?
Even if they did, it wouldn’t be all the way over like this. Therefore, the possibility of discovering this was somewhat low.
Feng Yuan and the others don’t know that the Ghost Series Spirit Beasts, which had been following them, were incredibly frustrated. According to the designer’s plan, this secret door was supposed to be approached by Feng Yuan and others due to hitting a dead end. Then, the beasts would either scare them or induce them to get close and bump into the mirror to reach the next area.
Yet, before they could act, these people went in by themselves.
At the moment, they didn’t know what to do; after all, the next area wasn’t their responsibility. Looking at each other, those Ghost Series Spirit Beasts could only helplessly seek other tourists.
"Feels not much different, it’s impossible they expanded space just for this, right? Can’t be..."
Following Qi Chen for a while, Feng Yuan said puzzledly, Dou Yanlan thought and said, 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
"Maybe we’re not there yet. Without a reminder, people might not realize they’re no longer in the real world. If it were me, I’d set up something shocking ahead to give people a scare."
"Uh, you guessed right."
Seeing the floating buildings and aurora curtain, Feng Yuan covered his face and chuckled, and Dou Yanlan smiled awkwardly; she didn’t expect it to be such a coincidence.
"This area is quite beautiful, just more dazzling."
Veronia glanced at the more chaotic mirror reflection caused by the aurora and said. The aurora reflecting in the mirror made the roads hard to see, let alone rest the eyes.
"Pretty mean method, but it doesn’t affect us much."
With a smile, Feng Yuan took out sunglasses and put them on. No choice, with the aurora reflection cluttering everywhere, it was glaringly bright.
Fortunately, this environment had no effect on Qi Chen’s combat intuition. Even if the mirror reflections were all chaotic, it didn’t affect Qi Chen from finding a way. Closing his eyes, Qi Chen let Ah Mu help guide him, relying on combat intuition to discern the path ahead.
Agunas and Veronia remained silent. They could naturally see the whole Maze of Mirror, but there was no need to ruin the fun. Didn’t Feng Yuan not release his Divine Sense either?
This aurora didn’t just affect Feng Yuan and his group; the other tourists also complained heavily about it. Unlike Qi Chen, without combat intuition, it was almost impossible for them to find the path, leading to dissatisfaction.
At this moment, the Ghost Series Spirit Beasts appeared. They used their Ultimate Move to create large areas of shadow, scaring people while also blocking the chaotic aurora and cluttered reflections.
This sudden change distracted many people from discerning whether it was just good luck or deliberate design.
Excitedly, they used the shadows to find paths and avoid the Ghost Series Spirit Beasts’ disruption, feeling a sense of achievement in accidentally discovering a trick to clear the challenge.
Unfortunately, this method had some issues with Feng Yuan and his group.
Due to being startled before, Xiao Ji had been acutely aware of the surroundings. As soon as it sensed the Ghost Series Spirit Beasts approaching, it immediately released its aura.
Having been with Feng Yuan for so long, Xiao Ji didn’t remain stagnant; its Divine Beast aura was taking shape, and for the Death Series Spirit Beasts it countered quite effectively.
Those Ghost Series Spirit Beasts, feeling the terrifying aura, dared not approach easily. But Qi Chen and the others weren’t standing still, leaving the Ghost Series Spirit Beasts at a loss.
Scare them?
Lucky if not scared by that Black Eagle, let alone getting close. As for seeking staff assistance?
They weren’t trapped in the Maze of Mirror, and in this level, their aim was to help the tourists find the forward path, preferably letting them feel they discovered it unintentionally themselves.
As for Feng Yuan and the others...
They had already found the route, rendering their help unnecessary.
In the end, the group of Ghost Series Spirit Beasts could only choose to reluctantly give up. Unable to approach, and as they were not having trouble finding the way, they decided to act as if nothing happened.
Fortunately, Cast Cubes noticed this anomaly. Being in the Data Domain, ensured Cast Cubes could implement some special things.
For example, they combined to form a block-like Ghost Series Spirit Beast, the shadow quickly covering Feng Yuan and the others. Xiao Ji cried out angrily, appearing very upset.
It had long sensed the presence of those Ghost Series Spirit Beasts but didn’t expect those guys dared to come!
"Is this a Data Lineage’s Ultimate Move? But why impersonate a Ghost Series’ move?"
Veronia looked in amazement at the incoming dark cloud, Tamur swayed his body and said,
"Backup plan."
Following Tamur’s gaze, noticing the soon-to-burst Xiao Ji, Veronia chuckled lightly and said,
"Now I understand..."
