Chapter 427 Entering the Dream
The strong vibrations of the protective membrane surrounding its body startled the sleeping creature.
Its originally even breathing gradually became rapid, and the phantom-filled breaths no longer appeared from its nose.
Finally, the mirage's eyes slowly opened—it had awakened from its deep sleep.
……
The mirage is a creature that exists only in legends. Even the Black Serpent was only mentioned by the True Martial Emperor by chance. There was nothing about this creature.
While this creature is fast asleep, it can manifest all sorts of scenes it has seen in the past as illusions before others. However, no one knows whether it possesses any other supernatural abilities when it wakes up.
Therefore, when Lin Fei saw that this guy had woken up, he became extremely cautious and prepared to deal with the dangers that might come next.
……
The clam slowly opened its eyes. Compared to its enormous body, its eyes appeared very small, hanging on its massive body like two soybeans.
If it weren't for the dragon horns on its head, which added to its majesty, it would actually look rather comical.
It stared intently at Lin Fei with its tiny, beady eyes, and uttered a low, slightly angry voice: "Who dares disturb my peaceful slumber?"
As a mysterious and unpredictable ancient beast, Lin Fei would not want to be its enemy unless absolutely necessary. If the exit of the Thirty-One Heavenly Palace were not protected by this creature's protective membrane, making it impossible to descend to the next Heavenly Palace without waking it up, Lin Fei would absolutely not want to wake it from its slumber.
Anyone who is woken up from a deep sleep will inevitably feel angry, let alone a creature like Shen, who spends most of its life sleeping. Its anger towards Lin Fei must be considerable at this moment.
Lin Fei, however, was unwilling to fight this mysterious and unpredictable fellow, so he cupped his hands and said, "I wanted to pass through this place to go to the next Heavenly Palace, and I had no choice but to wake you up. I hope you will forgive me."
"Go to the next Heavenly Palace?" A look of doubt appeared in Shen's eyes. She murmured, "Then you may go. Don't disturb my nap!"
As it spoke, the mirage closed its eyes again, as if it were about to drift off to sleep once more.
It seemed he had slept for too long; even he was a little groggy and didn't want to pay any attention to Lin Fei. He just wanted to drift off to sleep again.
Seeing this, Lin Fei breathed a sigh of relief. The mirage's protective membrane seemed to only appear when it was asleep. And when it woke up, the protective membrane would automatically disappear.
Before the guy fell asleep again and before that protective barrier appeared, Lin Fei wanted to leave this place as soon as possible and head to the next Heavenly Palace. So he quickly walked towards the exit.
Just as Lin Fei was about to reach the exit of this Heavenly Palace, Shen suddenly opened his eyes.
"No, no!" Shen seemed to suddenly remember something, her small eyes widening: "No, Haotian once told me that no one but him can pass through here. You stop right there!"
With a loud shout from Shen, a transparent membrane, like a wall, suddenly appeared in front of Lin Fei, blocking his path and preventing him from reaching the exit.
This thin film was very similar to the previous protective film, and even a bit stronger. Lin Fei was unable to break through it for the time being. He entered the exit and headed to the next level of the Heavenly Palace.
This creature, Shen, must have slept for too long; even it was a little groggy. It hadn't even remembered that it had a mission in this place; all it wanted to do was sleep.
But now, it suddenly remembered that someone had once instructed it not to let anyone else pass through this place. This was precisely the task it had left here for.
Lin Fei's path was blocked by the mirage, and his heart sank. He was originally unwilling to fight this guy, but now it seemed that passing through this place smoothly would not be so easy.
Suddenly, the mirage inhaled sharply, and its slug-like body rapidly swelled up: "No one except Haotian is allowed to pass through this place. You will stay here and accompany me into my dreams!"
As soon as the words were spoken, a hurricane blew out from the swollen body of the mirage, and the wind carried a strange fragrance.
Lin Fei had already noticed that the mirage's breath carried a strange fragrance, and now, this fragrance was much stronger than when it was asleep.
Lin Fei didn't know what magical abilities this mirage possessed. Seeing it unleash a hurricane, he dared not let it get close to his body. He hurriedly took out the Wind-Stabilizing Pearl and whispered, "Stabilize!"
This wind-stabilizing pearl is a Buddhist treasure, capable of fixing any wind force in the world. The hurricane blowing out of this mirage's mouth is the same.
Thanks to the Wind-Stabilizing Pearl, the hurricane blown by the mirage couldn't get close to Lin Fei's body at all. It was already quelled by the power of the Wind-Stabilizing Pearl five meters away from Lin Fei's body.
"The Wind-Stabilizing Pearl?" A look of surprise appeared in the mirage's tiny, beady eyes. It clearly hadn't expected that Lin Fei would possess the Wind-Stabilizing Pearl, a Buddhist treasure capable of stopping the hurricane it had created.
However, although Lin Fei managed to freeze the hurricane blown by the mirage, the strange fragrance in the air still spread towards him unimpeded.
Lin Fei knew that there might be something strange about this strange fragrance, so he deliberately shut down his sense of smell to avoid smelling it and falling into the trap of the mirage.
At this moment, Shen chuckled and said, "Trying to shut off your sense of smell now? It's too late. The moment you stepped into this place and smelled that fragrance, you were already destined to be unable to resist my methods!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Fei was also startled and exclaimed inwardly, "Oh no!"
It wasn't that Lin Fei was careless; it's just that the mirage had been fast asleep and seemed harmless. Who would be wary of a sleeping creature that had prematurely shut down its sense of smell?
Not to mention Lin Fei, no one in the world would be able to shut down their sense of smell before entering this place. This is because the mirage, this ancient and strange beast, is simply too mysterious; no one knows what it does or how to defend against it.
As soon as Shen finished speaking, Lin Fei felt his eyelids growing heavier and heavier, and an irresistible drowsiness surged up, as if he might fall asleep at any moment.
