Bab 157: Chapter 156: The Deceptive Village and The Quest for the Arcane Circle
Li Yang, upon Mei's invitation, found himself in a modestly furnished room. Simplicity dominated the space with minimalist furniture and dimly lit lanterns. Mei presented him with tea and freshly baked pastries, offering hospitality that seemed genuine.
Li Yang, ever inquisitive, posed his question, "What is this place, and how long has your village been in existence?"
Mei, taking a moment, responded, "Our tribe has thrived for ages, living harmoniously in this secluded realm. We lead simple lives, sustained by hunting and farming. We've built our community on self-sufficiency, relying on the land's bounty."
Continuing his probe, Li Yang inquired, "Have you ever heard of the Dark Abyss Enigma or any arcane circles?"
Unfazed, Mei replied, "I'm not familiar with such things," swiftly diverting the conversation back to their refreshments, "Please, enjoy the tea and pastries."
Li Yang hesitated for a moment but eventually succumbed to the aroma of the tea and the allure of the pastries. However, moments after savoring them, a peculiar sensation coursed through him. Lysar's voice resonated with urgency, "You've been poisoned!"
Panic welled up in Li Yang, but he remembered the antidote ring he carried. Waiting for the opportune moment, he stood up, confronting Mei, "What have you given me? I feel strange!"
Mei, now bearing a sinister smirk, replied mockingly, "Did you enjoy our special delicacy? It will make you the perfect sacrifice!" Suddenly, the room was flooded with villagers, all with the same malicious intent mirrored in their eyes.
Li Yang's heart raced, "Who are you people? Why are you doing this?"
Reveling in her newfound control, Mei revealed, "We are the Demon Tribe, one of many dark inhabitants of this realm." On her cue, the villagers morphed, sprouting wings and taking on a demonic form.
Realization dawned on Li Yang, "So it was all an illusion, even the boy Mimi?"
Mei cackled, "Of course! Now, any last words?"
Li Yang, trying to buy time, inquired, "If you're going to end me, at least tell me where the arcane circle is."
With a smug expression, Mei divulged, "The arcane circle lies deep within our demon headquarters."
Grateful for the information, Li Yang activated his antidote ring. Simultaneously, he summoned Ares and unleashed the Storm Attribute. A whirlwind of destruction engulfed the surroundings. Within seconds, only Mei remained standing, her once arrogant demeanor replaced with shock.
