Chapter 11

[A big fat thank you to that Ko-fi donator @Kayla Wilton! Thanks for the $10 donations!❤️✨]

The strange stone canyon has a vast area, strange terrain, self-contained aura, and active energy, which has a great effect on the reproduction of beasts. 

Every year during the mating season, all kinds of beasts will gather here, in different fields, without interfering with each other. If someone rashly breaks in, they are bound to be severely attacked.

The air is filled with the breath of wild beasts, mixed with a faint smell of warm and humid blood that makes people feel nervous.

"About 600 meters ahead, there is a group of... marshmallows?" Tully opened her black eyes and told the situation by using her ghost qi.

"Marshmallows?" Feng Chenxiu strangely asked.

"White, soft, and round."

"Is it this?" Huo Yin handed the handheld device to her. There was a picture of an alien animal on the screen, which was similar to what she described. 

"This is the 'cotton jelly beast'. The name sounds cute, but their habits are not cute at all."

A Cotton jelly beast is a soft-bodied creature that secretes venom on its surface. When attacked, it can turn into liquid and merge into the ground. Through some mutating fusion, it evolved, having a unique body that can propagate offspring, which can multiply hundreds at a time. 

Cotton Jelly beasts also have powerful mental control abilities and can create hallucinations. One or two of them is not to be afraid of, but dozens or hundreds of them gathering together can even make the powerhouses above level 9 avoid it. 

These beasts can only be completely killed by keeping them in an enclosed space and burning them with fire. 

As long as a team can find a gap, they can escape.

At this time, in a cave not far from the team, two evolutionaries hid in it and dare not emerge. Cotton jelly beasts piled up outside the cave, blocking their way out.

-----

While cotton jelly beasts aren't easy to deal with, they are all moving spiritual cores, and Huo Yin doesn't want to let them go so easily.

"What should we do now?" Feng Chenxiu's eyes flashed with excitement.

"Why don't we let Tully release some ghost to attract the monster's attention?"

Huo Yin glanced at him and said nothing. Cotton jelly beasts are from the same root of spiritual ability, it is useless to distract them with another spiritual power.

"You all can retreat, I'll try my new skill." 

Huo Yin just received a special fire element source core, which can release blood-burning flames. 

When everyone on the team was discussing countermeasures, Yuan Chu's thoughts moved, and she slightly turned her head to glance at the figure hidden in the dark with her peripheral vision.

After thinking for a moment, she quietly moved two meters to the side.

At the same time, a sound of whishing air suddenly sounded, and then the team saw a cotton jelly beast roaring past Huo Yin and others' heads, straight into the cotton jelly beasts group. 

The worst part is that this crossbow arrow left a shiny flight path along the way, like a guide, revealing the positions of their team.

The cotton jelly beasts stopped merging and faced only one direction.

Huo Yin & Tully & Su Mo & Feng Chenxiu: "!"

Yuan Chu: "…"

It was all too late to escape, and at the next moment, several people fell into a ferocious hallucination at the same time.

The expressions on the faces of the team members around Yuan Chu gradually became strange, but she was the only one who remained unaffected.

Sa Bu, who was invisible, became complacent when he saw that he had succeeded in his trap. But then saw the girl from before suddenly looking at him again, her eyes faintly flickering.

Sa Bu: "!" She couldn't have found himself, right?!

Yuan Chu looked away and turned to the people who had fallen into the hallucinations.

The psychic attack of cotton jelly beasts present exceeded level 9, and contact with her powers, absolute defense, might trigger the laws of this world. 

She deliberately retreated from the two-meter attack range of the beasts just now. 

The Strange Stone Canyon was originally Huo Yin's trial, and she avoided being included in it with cleverness. Now that she has already fended off a trial earlier, she can't directly intervene now. 

Involving herself too much might attract the attention of Tiandao.

Among the hallucinating people, Tully and Su Mo are both spiritual evolutionaries. The former is a newcomer, unable to face off the psychic attack, but the latter has the strength to fight.

Huo Yin is the strongest, and his mind is firm, so he is relatively less affected. But he is not that much of a high-ranking evolutionary after all, and it's difficult for him to escape from the hallucination of level 9 beasts or above.

Feng Chenxiu was originally the weakest, but his mind was pure and simple, and there would be no danger in a short period.

The ninth-level hallucination of the cotton jelly beasts seems too powerful, making people unable to distinguish between reality and illusion.

At first, Yuan Chu watched Huo Yin and her team members speak to the air with a solemn expression and saw how they began attacking the air. 

Huo Yin's attack was restrained, and he seemed to sense something, but Tully acted like a complete madman and attacked with all her strength. 

The surrounding wind whistled and the ghosts summoned were full of ghost qi. Sa Bu, who was so scared and unprepared, almost got out of stealth.

Feng Chenxiu was like a wandering soul, aimlessly roaming around, not paying attention to whether he was injured or not.

Su Mo was the calmest, stepping aside and looking around vigilantly, with layers of cold sweat on his forehead.

[Su Mo.] A voice suddenly entered his mind.

"Who?" Su Mo took a weapon and looked around.

[Su Mo.] The voice sounded again.

Su Mo calmed down and carefully sought the voice.

In the next second, the scene in front of him changed, and everything around him disappeared, replaced by a space-like universe.

"This is..." Su Mo heard a lot of voices and saw a lot of thoughts, but this is...

[Su Mo.] The voice appeared again.

Su Mo immediately followed the sound and saw a familiar figure standing still not far away.

Yuan Chu!

She slowly raised her hand and pointed forward.

Su Mo turned his head, and then his eyes lit up, his vision collapsed, and his spiritual realm suddenly expanded. Like a network, it connected to everyone around him. He could listen to what they thought and see what they saw.

Then, guide them out of their hallucination.

Su Mo finally understood their condition and his mission.

Before he could act, Yuan Chu suddenly turned her head and looked at Huo Yin with bright eyes.

Huo Yin's palms were condensed with blue fire, and he was about to launch an attack in the direction of Su Mo, but when Yuan Chu looked at it him, he changed the direction of the attack and smashed the fireball at the group of cotton jelly beasts. 

With a loud bang, the cotton jelly beasts burst into clusters of blue fire.

Su Mo felt that Yuan Chu used his power, telepathy, just now to guide Huo Yin to hit the real target.

For the first time, Su Mo experienced the full potential of his ability. It turned out that after he advanced, he can be such a powerful existence. (Teacher Chu showing the way!)

Shared five senses, unified combat coordination, immediate delivery of orders, and 100% teamwork!

He tried to connect with Tully and share his 'sight' with her.

Tully was momentarily stunned, then controlled her ghosts to turn around to pounce on the cotton jelly beasts caught in the blue fire.

With spiritual guidance, Huo Yin and the others escaped from their hallucinations one by one and started to attack the cotton jelly beasts together.

Sa Bu, who was hiding in the dark, originally watched them attack each other with relish. 

Who knew that within a few minutes, he would be caught off guard and watched the frenzied people cooperate while attacking the cotton jelly beasts?

What shocked him even more, was that the blue fire launched by the man in the wheelchair could ignore the liquid form of the cotton jelly beasts and burn them like a shadow.

What kind of OP team is this?

Since Sa Bu embarked on the wretched path of cheating others, he has rarely missed his targets, and this is the first time he has encountered such a situation. 

He is very clear about the power of the cotton jelly beasts, even a powerhouse above level 9 would not dare to say that they wouldn't retreat facing hundreds of them. 

Only spiritual evolutionaries have some resistance to the beast's attacks, but spiritual evolutionaries cannot affect the overall situation, as their combat effectiveness is generally not high.

Half an hour later, when the battle was over, everyone sat on the ground panting and feeling very dispirited, but they then became overjoyed when they saw the spiritual source cores scattered around.

"Momo, I didn't expect your ability to be so powerful!" Feng Chenxiu looked at Su Mo in surprise.

Su Mo glanced at Yuan Chu, shrugged, and said nothing. It's not that he is powerful, but that their team hides a hidden big shot.

Huo Yin probably guessed something, he pulled up Yuan Chu, and said to everyone: "Go and clean up the source cores."

Hundreds of cotton jelly beasts only left dozens of spiritual source cores, but this can be called a super bumper harvest.

"Oh yeah!" Feng Chenxiu jumped up and rushed out first.

Tully and Su Mo followed.

Huo Yin didn't move, but suddenly asked Su Mo, "Where is he?"

After walking more than ten meters away, Su Mo paused and turned to look somewhere. 

When he was making a spiritual connection, beside them, he had found a random stranger. He doesn't have to think deeply about it to know that this is the enemy who was hiding and plotting against them.

Huo Yin waved his arm, and a ball of blue fire followed Su Mo's line of sight. It drew an arc along the stone wall on the right. In the flickering light of the fire, a figure vaguely reflected.

Huo Yin's earth element was immediately activated, instantly wrapping the figure like a clay sculpture.

Sa Bu, who didn't even have time to send out a distress signal: "!!!"

Su Mo walked over, took a bundle of ropes from his waist, and firmly tied the person.

"The source cores are all collected up." Feng Chenxiu walked back, looked at the tied clay figurine on the ground, and poked it with his toes, 

"Is he the one who was plotting against us just now?"

While connecting spiritually with each other, everyone noticed that they have an uninvited guest, but the guest didn't notice it. 

In reality, Sa Bu is an invisible lurker, but in the spiritual realm, he is a striking red shadow.

"How do we deal with him?" Su Mo asked.

"Let's ask which team he's from. They killed a lot of evolutionaries. I believe many people would want to 'talk' with them." Huo Yin coldly said.

Sa Bu trembled and shook off like a piece of dust. He vaguely shouted, "I didn't kill anyone, I'm only responsible for looting the corpses!"

"Oh? Didn't you shoot the arrow that attracted the monster just now?" Huo Yin's eyes became sharp. 

If it weren't for Yuan Chu and Su Mo, it would be difficult for them to get out of trouble when they were caught in the hallucinations. 

Fortunately, cotton jelly beasts mental attack is just psychic. If it is a real level 9 mental attack, a few of them will lose their combat effectiveness on the spot.

Sa Bu: "…"

"Someone's here," Tully suddenly said.

Everyone turned their heads and watch as the two trapped evolutionaries carefully approached, and then stopped at a distance of forty or fifty meters from them.

"Hello, we are from the Full Moon Knights, may I ask who you are?"

Huo Yin replied, "We received a distress signal nearby, so we rushed over to take a look."

"Ah, thank you!" Hearing this answer, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief and quickly walked over.

The two sides announced their names and exchanged information. Knowing that they might have been plotted against, the two Full Moon Knights were furious.

"We're going to rescue other people later, what are your plans?" Huo Yin asked.

The two hesitated for a while, then pleaded, "We'll go with you."

The strength of this group of people who can kill a group of cotton jelly beasts is unimaginable. Mixing with the big shots, not only is their small life guaranteed, but maybe they can also pick up a few source cores.
