Chapter 48 Illusion and Reality, Imaginary Space
"Forget it, let's go find other people quickly."

Xu Feng looked towards the two cave entrances on the left and right.

"Which way?"

Shirley Yang thought for a moment, pointed to the right and said, "How about that, which way should we go?"

"it is good!"

Xu Feng took out the Ghost Sword, walked to the entrance of the cave and made a mark.

Shirley Yang came over, looked at Xu Feng's movements, and asked curiously, "Are you making a mark?"

Xu Feng nodded: "Yes, in order not to get lost, I marked every cave I went through, so that if others saw it, they could follow me and find me."

Having said this, he paused, remembering that he had also marked the entrance to the cave leading to the black-eyed snake.

"I have to destroy the mark so they don't go the wrong way."

He walked over with a knife in hand.

As a result, he searched everywhere but couldn't find the mark he had made.

"Strange? Where's the mark?!"

Xu Feng was completely confused.

Shirley Yang said: "Xu Feng, did you remember it wrong again? Did you not make any mark?"

Xu Feng shook his head: "Impossible, I definitely won't remember this wrong!"

"what is going on?!"

Shirley Yang couldn't bear to see him like this, so she said casually, "Maybe we didn't even go back to the cave you marked?"

Xu Feng's mind was suddenly struck by lightning.

It just confused him completely.

"You didn't return to the cave I marked?"

“Didn’t go back to the cave I marked?!!!”

He suddenly stood up, turned around and ran towards a cave entrance.

Shirley Yang quickly followed: "Where are you going?"

Xu Feng went into the cave: "I want to verify a guess!!"

The two of them were very fast and soon saw the light.

Then they both heard the sound of fighting.

Xu Feng quickened his pace and climbed to the entrance of the cave to take a look.

In the cave, I saw a huge spider chasing and attacking a man. The man was struggling and in danger under the attack of the giant spider.

When Xu Feng saw that person, he was immediately delighted: "Aning?!"

Aning had just rolled on the ground and dodged the attack of one of the spider's front limbs when she felt something entangled around her ankle. She struggled to get up and take a look.

really.

A spider silk as thick as a hemp rope was wrapped around her ankle.

Before she could react.

The big spider began to reel in the spider silk, and she was dragged towards the big spider's huge mouth.

Aning was instantly filled with fear.

She struggled to sit up and waved the dagger in her hand, trying to cut the spider silk.

But what she had in her hand was just an ordinary dagger.

After cutting for a long time, not even the spider silk was damaged.

Seeing herself getting closer and closer to the giant spider's ferocious mouthparts, Aning lay down on the ground helplessly.

She gave up.

I don't want to struggle anymore.

Maybe it would be better to just die like this and put an end to it all.

But somehow, Xu Feng's figure suddenly appeared in front of her.

"If he were here, would he protect me at all costs?"

Aning closed her eyes.

Just at this moment, she felt that the speed at which she was being dragged stopped.

Then a shrill scream was heard from the big spider.

Aning opened her eyes and looked.

I saw a broad figure standing between the big spider and myself, waving a glittering black knife in his hand, fighting with the big spider.

As for the spider silk on her feet, it had been cut off.

It's amazing. The broken spider silk immediately turned into ordinary spider silk. Not to mention a dagger, it can be torn apart with just force of the hands.

Aning, who escaped death, looked at the strange yet familiar figure from behind.

I suddenly felt a huge sense of security in my heart.

It seemed that as long as this man was there, she would not be in any danger.

Then she heard Xu Feng cursing, "Damn it, how dare you bully my woman?!"

"Last time, your brother dragged me around everywhere, and my pants were worn out. My butt was covered with bloodstains, and I was in pain for half a month. It's a pity that I couldn't find your brother to take revenge. It's your bad luck to meet you this time. You have to pay for your brother's blood debt with blood!!"

puff.

Aning couldn't help but smile.

This is Xu Feng.

He returned all the suffering he had suffered at the hands of the big spider in Sun En's tomb last time to the big spider in front of him.

Back then at Sun En’s tomb, the giant spider was no match for Xu Feng. If it hadn’t successfully launched a sneak attack on him, Xu Feng wouldn’t have been in such a mess. Afterwards, he was laughed at by Lao Hu and Fatty for several days.

He regarded this incident as a great humiliation!
Unfortunately, the Dragon-Breaking Stone fell down at that time.

Otherwise he would have to settle the score with the big spider.

So when he saw this big spider now, Xu Feng suddenly felt surprised that he could get revenge.

Although the big spider in front of me has nothing to do with that big spider.

Even the varieties are different.

Xu Feng chopped off all the front and rear limbs of the giant spider alive, then poured gasoline on it and finally set it on fire.

Looking at the big spider that had lost all its limbs and was unable to move, it screamed in the flames.

Xu Feng finally felt refreshed.

Aning stood up and walked to his side, looking at the big spider screaming in the fire, with some pity in her eyes: "Just kill it, why torture it like this?" Xu Feng smiled evilly: "Who told it to bully you?! No matter who dares to bully you, I will not let him off easily."

Aning didn't know what to say, so she turned her head away and stopped looking at the big spider.

Shirley Yang was looking at the bright smile on Xu Feng's face, and suddenly a sense of foreboding flashed through her heart.

Wait until the big spider stops moving in the fire.

Xu Feng turned around and looked at Aning: "Aning, how did you get here?"

Aning recounted her situation.

Similar to Shirley Yang, they both looked at the eyeball on the ceiling and then came here.

She also climbed a few caves and nothing happened.

It was only in this cave that I encountered the big spider.

Thank you, if it weren't for you, I would really die here this time.

Xu Feng smiled and said, "I said I would protect you."

This time, Aning did not have a stern face, but smiled.

Shirley Yang suddenly said, "Xu Feng, didn't you say you wanted to verify a guess?"

Xu Feng calmed down immediately.

"Yes, I did come to verify a guess of mine, and I have found the answer."

"Found the answer?"

Shirley Yang looked confused.

Xu Feng looked at her: "Actually, I discovered before that there was something wrong with these caves, but I never figured out what was wrong until you said something just now. It instantly enlightened me and made me understand many things."

"My word?"

Shirley Yang was a little confused. She didn't know what she had said to remind Xu Feng.

"You said that I might not have returned to the cave where I made the mark."

Shirley Yang nodded: "I think I said that."

"Aning, lend me the dagger."

Xu Feng reached out to Aning.

Aning handed him the dagger in his hand.

Xu Feng first recounted his previous experience from beginning to end.

Then he squatted down and drew on the ground while saying: "Suppose the cave I first appeared in was Cave No. 1. I took a torch from Cave No. 1, went through the cave to Cave No. 2, and found that Cave No. 2 was exactly the same as Cave No. 1."

"I felt it was strange, so I returned to Cave No. 1 to check what was going on, and I found an extra torch in Cave No. 1."

"Then I made a mark on the ground in Cave 1 and went to Cave 2. But suddenly a giant scorpion attacked me in Cave 2, which was empty."

"After I killed the giant scorpion, I didn't think much about it. I made a mark and continued on my way to Cave No. 3."

"Cave 3 is safe. I'll mark it and then go to Cave 4."

"Then I found you and the black-eyed snake in Cave No. 4. I rescued you and we went back to Cave No. 3."

"But in Cave No. 3, I didn't find any marks. Did the marks I made disappear?!"

"At this time, you said something."

"You said, maybe I'm not going back to the marked cave."

“It instantly woke me up.”

"In order to verify my guess, I decided to go back to Cave No. 2, because there is a giant scorpion corpse in this cave. If the giant scorpion corpse is there, then my guess is wrong. If the giant scorpion corpse is not there, then my guess is right."

"Sure enough! In Cave No. 2, there was no giant snail corpse. Instead, we found Aning and a big spider."

"I now have a basic understanding of what these caves are all about."

Xu Feng raised his head and looked at Shirley Yang and Aning.

"I suspect we are in an imaginary space."

Xu Feng said finally.

"Imaginary space?!"

Shirley Yang and Aning looked at each other, both confused.

"What is imaginary space?"

Shirley Yang asked.

Xu Feng suddenly realized that it seemed that they didn't know what imaginary space was.

"Well, how should I put it? You can think of imaginary space as a space between reality and virtuality."

Xu Feng was thinking about how to explain it to them, but he couldn't reveal the secrets of the Demon Kingdom, the Samsara Sect, and the Zhuchen Pearl.

Shirley Yang doesn't care.

He believed that even if Shirley Yang knew these secrets, she would not tell them to anyone.

But Aning is different.

Although he likes Aning, he is not a mindless flatterer.

He knew very well that Aning was Jude Kao's person. Jude Kao raised her and she was loyal to Jude Kao. If Xu Feng told her the secrets about the Demon Kingdom, the Samsara Sect and the Zhuchen Pearl.

She would certainly tell Jude this.

He would not tell her the secrets he knew until he was sure that Aning had become his own.

"Do you remember what I said about the legend of the Queen of Jingjue?"

"Legend has it that the eyes of this queen are the passage to the underworld. If she looks at her enemies, they will disappear without a trace and never come back."

Then we also saw on the mural in Prince Gumo’s tomb that the Queen of Jingjue lifted her veil with one hand, and the person opposite her turned into a shadow and disappeared.”

"Of course, the passage connecting to the underworld is definitely an exaggeration."

"This should be something the Queen of Jingjue deliberately spread to intimidate the people in order to strengthen her rule."

"I guess the real situation is that the Queen of Jingjue possesses some kind of magical object that has the property of teleportation and can teleport people to another place."

Shirley Yang and Aning are both smart women.

I immediately understood what Xu Feng meant.

"That is to say, the cave is real."

"But the passages connecting the caves are all virtual."

"It seems that we have climbed from Cave No. 1 to the adjacent Cave No. 2, but in fact, Cave No. 2 may be very far away from Cave No. 1, and there are countless other caves between the two caves?!"

Aning said.
