Chapter 1501: So this is what it feels like
Seeing that Xiao Mu wasn’t coming back to its senses, Lin Fan had no choice but to reach out and pull it back into the Azure Wind barrier.
However, Xiao Mu said, "What are you doing? I was almost done analyzing it."
Lin Fan couldn’t help revealing a bitter smile when he heard this before saying, "How was I supposed to know that? I didn’t see any signs that was what you were doing?"
Though Lin Fan couldn’t help being surprised since he could see how agitated Xiao Mu was when it said this.
It didn’t make sense that Xiao Mu would be this agitated about something like this.
But seeing that this was the case, Lin Fan let go of Xiao Mu to let it do what it wanted.
Xiao Mu walked out of the Azure Wind barrier once more and fell into the same daze.
Lin Fan looked at Ye Qing Huan with a look as if he was asking her what was happening, but it didn’t seem like Ye Qing Huan knew either. Even though Ye Qing Huan was closer to Xiao Mu than Lin Fan, she didn’t understand why it was acting this way either.
In fact, this was the first time that even Ye Qing Huan had seen Xiao Mu being this agitated.
In the end, all Ye Qing Huan did was give a sigh before saying, "Just leave it. It must be important if Xiao Mu is acting like this."
It really sounded like how a parent might talk about their child if they were doing something.
This was her way of showing support while also being worried for Xiao Mu.
In the end, it didn’t take long for Xiao Mu to come out of that daze.
Xiao Mu had already analyzed the majority of the composition of this thing in the air before, so it was only putting the final touches on this analysis. Once it had finished analyzing it, it naturally figured out a way to deal with this thing in the air that caused illusions.
Only the reaction that Xiao Mu had when it finished analyzing this thing was strange.
"So this is how it’s like to feel something. It’s too bad that this didn’t last long at all."
Both Lin Fan and Ye Qing Huan were surprised to hear this, especially since they didn’t know what Xiao Mu was talking about. But seeing that Xiao Mu was moving around without a problem, it seemed like it had finished dealing with what was in the air.
Only the solution that Xiao Mu came up with wasn’t something that they could use.
What Xiao Mu did was analyze the composition of the powder that was in the air and then have its system filter for it. So in reality, it wasn’t as if it had come up with a way to dispel it.
All that Xiao Mu did was find a way to avoid the powder.
So in the end, they had no choice but to continue using the Azure Wind barrier to keep that powder out while following behind Xiao Mu.
When Xiao Mu moved forward, it almost seemed like there was a spring in its step. It was as if Xiao Mu couldn’t wait to find more things in this place.
With what Xiao Mu had said, Lin Fan and Ye Qing Huan had an idea of what it was that Xiao Mu was looking for. But with their separate knowledge, it wasn’t as if they could fully understand it.
"It felt like something that a human would experience, so it felt like an entirely new world was opening for me."
Even when Xiao Mu explained after Ye Qing Huan asked about this, neither of them really understood what Xiao Mu was saying.
Still, since Xiao Mu was excited about this...
They both trusted Xiao Mu to know what was best for itself and just followed behind Xiao Mu to see where this would lead.
The corridor that they had been following wasn’t actually that long, it had only seemed long because of the illusion that they had fallen into.
Once they made it into the room, the same thing happened where Xiao Mu fell into a daze.
Whatever was in the corridor was different from what was inside of this room, but it didn’t seem like it was harmful to Xiao Mu as it just stood there in a daze. It seemed like it was something that made Xiao Mu fall into another illusion.
Lin Fan and Ye Qing Huan weren’t affected at all since Lin Fan still had the Azure Wind barrier up, but he could tell that there was something different about this room.
It felt like there was something that was going against his Azure Wind barrier.
It wasn’t as if it was strong enough that it actually exhausted him, but it was stronger than the sensation in the corridor.
But even so, he wasn’t able to tell what it was in the air around him.
At the same time, he didn’t think that he could keep indulging Xiao Mu with the way that this was ramping up. If this was what it felt like in the first room, there really was no telling what they would experience in the upcoming rooms.
After all, he could see that there were other doors in this place.
It seemed like this entire pavilion was designed like a labyrinth, so there was no doubt that they would have to go through many different rooms like this before they reached the end.
As well, it wasn’t as if Lin Fan had a chance to rest up.
With how persistent whatever was in the air was, it wasn’t as if he could let down the Azure Wind barrier for a second.
This really seemed like it was going to be a matter of endurance for him.
Ye Qing Huan knew this, but she looked at him as if she was telling him to give Xiao Mu was much time as possible.
Lin Fan gave a sigh seeing this, but he didn’t deny her request.
After all, even Lin Fan could sense that there was something that was changing with Xiao Mu as this happened.
It had been faint in that corridor, but now it was getting stronger and stronger. It was reaching a point that they just couldn’t ignore since it felt almost like Xiao Mu was about to break through.
Though that would be strange since it wasn’t as if Xiao Mu had a cultivation in the first place.
As a puppet, it should have been limited to the parts that it possessed and if it wanted to grow stronger, it would have to switch out those parts for stronger parts.
Yet now the aura of Xiao Mu was getting stronger as if it was growing because of cultivation.
It really didn’t seem to make any sense at all, but nothing about Xiao Mu really made sense. It was an AI that was controlling a cultivation puppet, so there might be some kind of interaction between the two sides.
It might be because everything was combined like this that created this kind of miracle.
As for how strong Xiao Mu would become, that was uncertain.
The only thing that they were certain of was that Xiao Mu would continue to grow stronger like this.
This time, it didn’t take long for Xiao Mu to analyze whatever was in the air. In fact, it even seemed like Xiao Mu was a bit disappointed because of this.
"The composition was similar to the other substance, it seems like they come from the same base. It’s just that this one has a few things that were different which made it stronger, though it didn’t make it strong enough."
Lin Fan and Ye Qing Huan both raised a brow to look at Xiao Mu after it said this, but it didn’t seem like Xiao Mu was ready to explain it.
The only thing that it was willing to share with them was what it had said so far.
However, the two of them could clearly tell that there was some kind of change that was coming over Xiao Mu. It was the main reason why it was so focused on experiencing all of the powders that were in the air for itself.
As well as the change in its aura.
Since they had finished with what was in this room, they went to look at the doors that were also here.
It was just that no matter how they looked at it, there was nothing that told them which way was the correct way to go. It seemed like all of the doors were exactly the same, so there were no clues for them to follow.
In the end, Lin Fan and Ye Qing Huan left this matter to Xiao Mu.
Or rather, they were leaving this matter to Xiao Mu’s sensors.
They had no idea how Xiao Mu’s sensors worked, but it was able to analyze the poisons that were in the air around them. So they were hoping that Xiao Mu’s sensors would be able to pick something up.
"I have no idea."
It was surprising to hear Xiao Mu say this, but there really was nothing that they could do if Xiao Mu was going this far.
So with a sigh, Lin Fan just said, "You can just randomly pick one then. We’ll follow you."
Xiao Mu gave a nod before suddenly opening one of the doors and walking through.
"Blurgh."
