Shen Yanxiao decided to act. She leaped down from the tree branch as her petite figure gracefully made her way toward the cave that Cao Xu and his team were in.
The Vermilion Bird did not follow her. He merely hung upside down on the tree branch as he looked at Shen Yanxiao’s excitement.
Cao Xu was sound asleep before he was woken up by an urge to urinate. He stood up groggily and looked at the empty entrance and then at his other sleeping teammates. He then quietly left the cave and walked toward a huge tree to answer the call of nature.
When he was done, he pulled his pants up and prepared to walk back to the cave. Suddenly, someone patted his shoulder.
He turned over sharply, and in an instant, his eyes blurred as he stared at a distance. He completely disregarded Shen Yanxiao who was in front of him.
A petite figure stood under the moonlight, and her plain face revealed a breathtaking crafty smile.
Shen Yanxiao chanted the curse, and her ten fingers were like a dancer’s feet as they rapidly crisscrossed between them. She had managed to complete seventeen hand gestures in only ten seconds flawlessly.
If any existing warlocks in the Brilliance Continent saw the speed of which Shen Yanxiao had managed to cast a curse, they would never have believed that the little girl was only an amateur! An amateur who had only learned curses for a month!
Four singular curses and seventeen hand gestures were perfectly completed in a short span of ten seconds without any flaws.
Shen Yanxiao had managed to implant an Illusion Construct curse in Cao Xu’s mind.
The Illusion Construct was scary because it could fabricate an extremely huge and detailed surrounding for the victim in a short amount of time. Regardless of the victim’s original memories, they would regard the illusion as reality once they were inflicted with Illusion Construct.
The caster could also alter the victim’s impression of them as they please, and it would last until the end of the curse. After which, the victim would not have the slightest memory left of Illusion Construct.
The task that Shen Yanxiao had for Cao Xu was an interesting one. He would have to sneak back into the cave at once, and then retrieve all of his teammates’ badges and hand them over to Shen Yanxiao. She did not conjure a definite image of her in his mind, only that she was someone who would collect the badges.
That was the first time that Shen Yanxiao had used a curse on a human. She had never even experimented with using singular curses on other people. Even if the hand gestures of the Illusion Construct were executed perfectly, she was not confident that the curse would take effect. After all, the requirements for combination curses were extremely harsh. If there was even the slightest deviation with any of the hand gestures, it could cause the entire curse to fall apart!
After she completed the last hand gesture, she nervously narrowed her eyes and looked at Cao Xu’s response.
Cao Xu blinked his eyes and finally looked at Shen Yanxiao as she held her breath and fixed her attention on him. His blurred gaze cleared, and in that instant, Shen Yanxiao thought that her curse to have failed and that Cao Xu had discovered her actions.
However, after Cao Xu’s gaze recovered, he did not have any strange reactions. He merely looked at Shen Yanxiao before he headed toward the cave.
When he walked back, he did not display any weird actions, and it was as if nothing had happened.
Shen Yanxiao took a deep breath as she stared at Cao Xu’s back, and she was pleasantly surprised.
She had succeeded in the curse!
