Chapter 286 Encountering an Illusion
Su Chen looked at Xiaoxian seriously and felt uncomfortable. Although Xiaoxian was usually lively, active and heartless, it was obvious that she was in a bad mood now.

After all, he also understood Xiaoxian's feelings of missing his family, and he didn't know who this dragon skeleton belonged to, but now he could only look forward.

Thinking of this, Xiaoxian nodded dejectedly. She was obviously still immersed in the depressing atmosphere. She hadn't recovered and didn't say a word.

"I can sense the presence of similar creatures nearby, but they are still some distance away from us."

Xiaoxian couldn't help but say.

As they went deeper, they discovered traces of dragons. They believed that if they walked for a while, they would soon find the dragons' true habitat.

"I remember that the dragon clan in the Western Wilderness has a large area of ​​activity, but their most important place is the Holy Mountain. If we search in that direction, we should be able to find some clues about the dragon clan."

Luo Shen thought about it, then spoke slowly.

After all, she is well-informed and has some understanding of the information in this area. Although the time span is too long and everything has changed a lot, it is better to have a direction now than to have nothing.

Su Chen nodded, and the group immediately started on the road to the Holy Mountain. Because they had a general direction, they walked very quickly this time.

When they arrived near the holy mountain, Xiaoxian could already feel the breath of her own kind. For some reason, the deeper she went inside, the more she felt a calling in her heart.

The voice inside her heart seemed to tell her that everything she wanted to know was inside, and she must find her own kind.

Xiaoxian was annoyed by the premonition in her heart these days, and she was very confused, so she couldn't help but tell Su Chen about it.

Su Chen couldn't understand it for a moment and thought that maybe it was the mutual bond between their spirit beasts.

The knowledgeable Luo Shen immediately grasped the problem.

"You have returned to your homeland, and are slowly awakening your inherited memories. Every high-grade spirit beast will receive inherited memories, which contain treasures such as previous memories and cultivation techniques."

Luo Shen explained, with a hint of anticipation in her eyes.

After all, Xiaoxian is a five-clawed golden dragon. Even though she has seen many divine beasts, there are only a few of Xiaoxian's level, pitifully few.

"That's right. We mermaids also have inherited memories, but they are usually taught and guided by our elders. It could be anything. It could be a memory from the past, a cultivation method, an instruction or reminder, or even a prophecy."

Hearing this, Natasha said lightly.

After receiving the inherited memory, she also transformed the Qiankun Pearl into her natal spiritual weapon.

However, there are also many cultivation techniques and precious memories in the Qiankun Pearl, most of which are advice and prophecies left by successive mermaid priests. Natasha even saw a fleeting glimpse of her mother in it, which made her cherish this beautiful memory very much.

She has been in a daze these days because she is inheriting the memory.

However, this inherited memory did not appear all at once like the previous ones, but emerged bit by bit, giving Natasha a chance to buffer.

Otherwise, with so many memories, she would probably explode and die.

When Xiaoxian heard this, although she only half understood it, she accepted it calmly.

But the most urgent task is to find water and food.

Fortunately, hard work paid off, and they finally saw the shadow of an oasis in the distance.

This was a timely help, and several people immediately walked towards their destination. However, they did not expect that after walking for half a day, they still did not reach the oasis. Instead, they could only see a vague shadow as before.

"Strange, we've been walking for so long, why does it still feel and look the same as before?"

Seeing this, Luoluo couldn't help but speak, and she looked a little haggard.

After all, this was the first time they encountered such extreme weather.

Su Chen wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and subconsciously looked at the oasis in the distance. It seemed that it was not far away, but it was like a parallel line. The oasis advanced as much as they advanced.

This is weird.

For a moment, they were a little undecided and didn't know whether to continue going or not.

If we keep going in the same direction, we won't know when we'll reach our destination, and judging from the situation, it's very likely that we'll be wasting our efforts.

After walking blindly for a long time, Su Chen finally realized that something was wrong. Why did the oasis in the distance look like a mirage in the desert?

On the surface, there may appear to be an oasis not far away, but in fact it is just a reflection of the sun's refraction.

Today, this area used to be a plain, but due to drought and sparse population, it has gradually become deserted, with the surface bare, and it really looks like a desert.

Thinking of this, Su Chen immediately said to Luluo: "Luluo, you are a tree spirit, your root system should be well developed, right?"

Luoluo was a little unresponsive at first, but then she nodded obediently.

"Master, why are you asking this? Is there any solution? But my vines cannot be driven at such a long distance. It is too far."

After saying this, Luluo couldn't help but sigh.

If I had leaves on my body, they would have dried up by now. I look listless and hollow.

"Green ivy, plant your roots in the soil and spread them out. You will definitely find a place with water. The oasis we just saw should be an illusion. It is not actually there. It will be useless even if we walk to the end."

Su Chen explained slowly.

"As expected of you, Master. You can tell at a glance that the oasis is an illusion. No wonder we have been walking for so long and haven't even seen the edge of the oasis."

Green ivy couldn't help but nod like a chick pecking at rice, her eyes full of admiration.

Su Chen suddenly felt a little embarrassed when being praised. If he had not known about this issue before, he would definitely not have known it.

I now have scientific basis for my opinion, but I certainly cannot tell other people about it because they wouldn't understand even if I told them.

So Su Chen could only respond vaguely.

"There is no time to lose. Green Rose, please try it out. According to my guess, there should be a water source nearby."

Su Chen looked at Luoluo seriously, with some anticipation in his eyes.

Green ivy nodded quickly, her heart was also very nervous. She took a deep breath, put her hands on the ground, and slightly supported her body. The vines of the plant instantly took root in the ground and extended in all directions.
