Chapter 220 Simulation: Desert Bandit_2
Behind the nine unicorns, there trailed nine black chains, pulling a carriage resembling a coffin, with a voluptuous driver seated at the forefront.
As they drew closer, the onlookers finally saw that the driver was dressed quite boldly.
She wore several pieces of red armor that covered only the key parts of her body, her figure was explosive, and she had two twisted gray horns on her head, resembling a succubus from hell.
The woman seemed to notice Su Jie and the others, abruptly pulling on the reins and halting the unicorns in their tracks.
Her seductive red lips slightly lifted as she spoke in a soft and delicate tone, laced with a touch of allure, kindling the flames of innate desire in both men and women.
"Excuse me, could you tell me where this is?"
Su Jie slapped Jos's face, snapping the about-to-speak man back to reality, and then woke up Zhang Manman and Chen Tian Yuzi.
"Hypnotism!"
Zhang Manman's expression darkened, shocked that she had been enchanted by a woman.
The enchanting woman before them was definitely not of a benevolent kind.
Su Jie asked, "May I inquire who you are and where you come from?"
The woman's pupils trembled slightly, but she still spoke mournfully, "I am Eros, from the Flame Land City-State. May I ask where this is?"
As suspected!
An interdimensional being!
"This is a certain illusory world within the Taixu Illusory Realm," Su Jie explained the situation briefly, after all, Eros had not shown any aggression besides the initial use of hypnotism on them.
Of course, according to past experiences, interdimensional beings chosen as "supplies" were mostly fiercer than the most violent criminals or unintelligent, non-humanoid wild beasts.
The Eros before them surely did not have the delicate heart she appeared to possess.
"Taixu Illusory Realm? Illusory world?"
Eros frowned slightly, then relaxed and said, "I'm not sure what this place is, but I can feel that you're wary of me."
"There's no need for that. This is a special innate talent of a succubus; I'm not able to control it myself."
She truly is a succubus!?
Shaken by the hypnotism earlier, none of Su Jie and the others were willing to let down their guard.
If they had truly been hypnotized without waking up, they might have died without understanding why.
"Could you tell us what's inside the coffin-like carriage behind you?" Su Jie inquired.
"That's none of your concern," Eros's smile gradually softened, "and you wouldn't want to know anyway." Find the translation on MV&LEMPYR.
"How do you know we don't want to?" Jos folded his arms and asked coldly.
"Well, why don't you take a look inside?" Eros suggested, drawing aside the curtain behind her to reveal the pitch darkness within, an entrance deep as the abyss.
"Hmph! Let's go, see if I'm scared!"
Jos, as if incensed by Eros's mockery, was about to make a move but got held back by Su Jie, who slapped him on the head to bring him back to his senses.
He had been hypnotized again!
When Jos came to his senses once more, he felt a chill down his spine and grew fearful of Eros.
This capricious susceptibility to hypnotism was truly hard to guard against.
Zhang Manman and Chen Tian Yuzi, having experienced it once, were naturally more alert the second time, and as women, they were especially cautious of Eros, who was also a woman.
Seeing Jos regain his awareness, Eros's face darkened, and the corners of her mouth settled back into a neutral expression.
'That leader is extremely troublesome!' Eros cursed inwardly and continued, "Don't you have the courage to enter? If you want to find out what's inside, you must go in and see. Moreover, the being inside has been disturbed by you. If you don't go in, I'm going to be punished."
"Do you have the heart to see me punished?"
"Tied to a cross and lashed until my skin splits and flesh bursts."
The succubus's eyes brimmed with tears, her skin was delicate, and with her miserable expression, she appeared even more pitiful.
However, Su Jie's heart was as hard as stone and remained unmoved.
Having been ensnared twice, Jos learned his lesson and took out a small knife, clenching it in his hand to keep himself grounded through pain while taking a piece of Healing Medicine.
Zhang Manman and Chen Tian Yuzi, though more enduring than Jos, felt a strange vibration emanating from Eros, which stimulated the secretion of excessive hormones, making them slightly agitated as well.
Thus, Chen Tian Yuzi swiftly pulled out a bow and arrow she had scavenged and aimed it at Eros: "Stop using those tricks, or my arrows will have to fly."
But Eros did not stop; rather, tears began to flow: "Are you going to punish me before my master does? That seems a bit too harsh."
Whoosh!
Chen Tian Yuzi released the bowstring, and the arrow shot forth, turning into a meteor under the tension of the bow and hit the succubus's right eye socket, piercing through her brain.
"Ah..."
Blood, red yet as hot as lava, trickled from her eye socket onto the wood of the carriage, burning a hole and sending up a whiff of scorched smell with a plume of white smoke slowly rising.
"Her blood, though red, is as hot as lava and likely contains a strong acidity," Zhang Manman commented, sniffing the air, fanning the white smoke away with her hand, and swallowing an antidote pill.
"Hehe!"
The succubus hadn't died; instead, she grabbed the arrow lodged in her eye socket, yanked it out, and threw it aside.
