Shen Heng paused for a moment and asked:
"Assuming this world is indeed an illusion, what methods do you think are possible to leave it?"
Qin Yu stood to the side, deep in thought.
When it comes to illusion, the first thing that comes to her mind is dreams.
If it's a dream, then getting out should be simple; just commit suicide.
The problem is that, as far as we know, only this world is fake; there's no indication that it's a dream.
If it's not a dream, then no one knows what the consequences would be if someone committed suicide in this world.
What if he really dies?
After thinking for a moment, Qin Yu said in a low voice:
"I don't know, but if you want to leave, you'd better find a way to explore the outside world."
"And there's more, there's more!"
The voice echoed in my mind.
"This entire area is controlled by the Black Rat Clan. If we can defeat them, we'll definitely be able to get out!"
"By then, even if going out directly has nothing to do with them, we'll have time to search for them slowly!"
"..."
Qin Yu paused for a moment, then thought to herself,
" Sister Liya, no, we can't beat those Calamity Beast right now."
"Ah, I know, I never said I wanted you guys to fight!" the voice in my head replied.
"Then...?" Qin Yu asked, somewhat puzzled.
"You're right. If there are any problems, just let the captain figure them out!" The voice in my head replied matter-of-factly.
Qin Yu was silent for a moment, then finally raised her gaze again.
In her field of vision, a tall figure lay on the ground, gazing into the distance, seemingly pondering her words.
She paused for a moment, then finally said:
"Captain, there's one more!"
The figure looked over.
Qin Yu said, " The Black Rat that are monitoring us could very well be a clue to getting out of this world. If we can find a way to deal with them, then it's quite possible that we can escape this world!"
After the words were spoken, there was a moment of silence before a deep sound rang out.
"Okay, I understand!"
After the sound faded, the surroundings fell silent once more.
Qin Yu gazed at the figure beside her, waiting.
She knew that the captain needed some time to think.
Shen Heng was indeed thinking about it.
He originally wanted to see Qin Yu's opinion, and whether the voice in her head had any different views.
result...
Qin Yu was fine, but the guy in her head... was he perhaps too trusting of himself?
Shen Heng turned his gaze away with a hint of helplessness, looking towards the distant mountain shadows.
If he could beat them, he wouldn't have asked.
Let alone them, even if all the Calamity Beast in Black Stone Valley were gathered together, Shen Heng didn't think they would have a chance of winning.
When an individual's strength falls far short of that of other individuals, even a large amount of withered grass will have little effect.
Of course, if they could seize an opportunity when the Black Rat Clan was weak and act together, there would still be a chance, but in the end, they would probably suffer heavy casualties.
If we exclude this...
The possibility of a dream cannot be guaranteed, but it also cannot be guaranteed that it is not.
Just as Qin Yu thought, without being able to determine whether it was a dream, suicide was the best option to avoid.
Of course, if no feasible method can be found in the end, it is still worth considering.
If we exclude dreams, illusions or inner demons as depicted in cultivation novels are not entirely impossible.
Although, judging from the current situation, the odds seem even smaller compared to a dream.
If it's a world of illusion or inner demons, then to get out, one would likely have to defeat the strongest or most terrifying thing in that world, right?
In other words, it means defeating the Black Rat that control them?
Hmm... we've come full circle again.
In conclusion, under these circumstances, Qin Yu's suggestion to go out and investigate first seems to be the safest and least risky approach given the current lack of information.
After thinking it over for a moment and confirming that there was indeed no better way at the moment, Shen Heng looked at Qin Yu.
How are your abilities doing now?
"The... situation?" Qin Yu asked, clearly not understanding the specific meaning of the sentence.
"Restrictions, weakening, or other changes," Shen Heng said.
"Hmm... no." Qin Yu hesitated for a moment, then looked at Shen Heng. "Captain, has your ability changed?"
"Yes, although the main abilities have been retained, their strength has been greatly reduced," Shen Heng said in a deep voice. "For example, the range of my hearing. When I was at Tier 2, the limit was about 5 kilometers, but now it has been reduced to 800 meters."
"Other capabilities, such as the ability to control sound waves, have also been weakened to some extent."
"It's speculated that, due to becoming Calamity Beast, its abilities needed to adapt to its body, resulting in some adaptive changes."
"Is that so...?"
Qin Yu repeated it in a low voice.
" Sister Liya..."
"You acquired it through cultivation, not as an ability, so you won't encounter this situation. However, there will still be some effects. Didn't you feel it at the beginning?" the voice in your mind replied.
Qin Yu nodded inwardly, then looked up at the captain and said:
"My abilities weren't affected much. They were a bit clumsy at first, but they got better once I got used to them. However, because I'm only at the Third Tier after becoming Calamity Beast, my abilities aren't as effective as before. I might be able to barely dodge Fourth Tier Calamity Beast, but against Fifth Tier Calamity Beast, it's almost impossible to dodge."
She paused, as if remembering something, and looked at the captain with some uncertainty in her eyes.
"Captain, you're only at Tier 2 after transforming into Calamity Beast?"
"Hmm, it's probably random."
Shen Heng responded, his gaze sweeping over Qin Yu.
Did you master it through your own practice?
He paused, then continued:
"In that case, tomorrow, see if you can find an opportunity to get out, and then explore along the border to see if you can find a way out."
"Okay, I understand!" Qin Yu replied.
"As for food..."
"We don't need food for now. I can look for some outside first. If I can find some, I'll take care of it myself. If I can't find any, then I'll trouble you, Captain, to come with me to a mine and help me complete my part of the task," Qin Yu said.
Shen Heng looked at Qin Yu, paused, and nodded.
"Alright, let's do it this way. This way, I can also take the opportunity to find out if there's any other information."
