Chapter 335
Shu Nanzhi had never seen such a situation before. She looked around in horror, unable to find her direction.
From her perspective, no matter which direction she faced, the view was exactly the same: in front of her was a high pavilion that was far away, and behind her was a stone bridge that was also far away.
Subconsciously, she wanted to walk towards her grandfather based on her memory, but after taking two steps, Yu Xi grabbed her hand.
"You can't wander around."
Yu Xi was quickly calculating the array points in his mind. Seeing Shu Nanzhi looking a little flustered, he couldn't help but comfort her:
"The path you take after entering here is different from the one outside. The directions you remember don't apply here. If you walk out of my sight, I won't be able to find you, and you'll be trapped here."
When Shu Nanzhi heard this, he immediately stopped where he was and stopped running around.
The Demon God has said so. She can't help, but she certainly can't cause trouble!
After observing the surroundings, Gu An picked up a stone on the ground and threw it out. The stone disappeared from their sight, and new stones reappeared under their feet.
"Senior Sister, this should be a modified locking formation, it looks very similar."
Yu Xi nodded, quickly made a decision, and walked towards the left side of the pavilion: "This way."
Everyone followed immediately.
After Yu Xi turned left twice in a row, the scene in their vision distorted again and soon turned into a small bridge and flowing water, which should be somewhere in Yaoling Valley.
Shu Nanzhi opened his eyes wide. "This is where the Tiger Demon Lord used to live! Grandpa showed it to me!"
"This should also be an illusion."
Gu An picked up another stone and threw it into the river. The water surface did not react to the impact. The stone disappeared and a new stone appeared under his feet.
Yu Xi didn't pay attention to the illusion around him. He just stared at the light and shadow around him, feeling the flow of spiritual energy. He quickly took out a talisman and placed it under his feet, injecting some magic energy into it.
In the micro-array within the array, the position of a stream of water was briefly distorted for a moment.
At the same time, a large group of translucent insects suddenly emerged from the flowing water, crawled out from the water in dense groups, and pounced towards them quickly.
These bugs are not illusions, they can really attack people. If you want to leave this scene, you must touch these bugs.
But Yu Xi did not stop, and immediately took Gu An and Shu Nanzhi to the place where the water had just twisted.
Gu An raised his sword and swept away the chasing insects. When the vision changed again, they came to a gloomy house again.
This time they entered a Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams formation, with ten tiger cubs hanging around it.
These tiger cubs look like they have just been born, but their bodies have been hollowed out, leaving only a layer of shell.
Their bodies had been specially treated to prevent them from rotting, and were wrapped with transparent silk threads. After Yu Xi and the others appeared, the ten cubs fell down together, as if they had touched a switch, and the Bagua formation under Yu Xi's feet began to rotate.
Several wooden puppets fell from above their heads, slashing at them with sharp swords in their hands, and every move was a sword technique of the immortal sect.
At the same time, the whole house caught fire, and in just a few breaths it became as hot as a steamer.
Gu An and Shu Nanzhi immediately dealt with the wooden puppets that attacked them. Yu Xi stood where she was and found that the spiritual energy in the house was being controlled by something, and she couldn't find a pattern.
She thought about it, raised her hand and gathered spiritual energy in her hand. The precise control of the spiritual energy quickly allowed her spiritual energy to merge with the spiritual energy in the room, looking for factors that affected the spiritual energy.
After realizing the location, she immediately said to Gu An:
"Destroy the three gates of life, injury and death!"
Gu An had long noticed that there were some problems between the eight gates in the formation. After hearing what Yu Xi said, he immediately stepped lightly and flexibly on a sword that was stabbing at him and attacked towards the position Yu Xi mentioned.
The heavy wall in his hand split the evil spirit into three parts, and smashed the three gates one by one.
After the three gates were shattered, Yu Xi immediately sensed the normal direction of the spiritual power.
But at the same time, the ten tiger cubs that had fallen were lifted up again and dropped heavily again.
The shattered parts slowly return to their original state after they fall.
If the three gates were to be restored to their original state, the direction of the spiritual power would change again next time, and there would be no exit no matter what.
The southern branch of the tree was about to melt due to the heat. The scorching ground was almost like a death sentence to her. The attack speed was getting slower and slower, and the roots under her feet also showed signs of being charred.
Time was limited, and Yu Xi's face was sweating, his back was soaked, and his hands were still writing and drawing.
Just as the three doors recovered, she drew her sword and slashed towards somewhere, and saw a huge crack created by her in the originally indestructible and sealed room.
Seeing this, the puppets holding swords immediately chased after her, but Gu An caught up with them and chopped off their heads.
Yu Xi took Gu An and Shu Nanzhi out of the house again.
But after leaving, they did not leave the formation, but returned to the place where they first came in.
There is a high pavilion in front and a stone bridge behind.
"Is this still a three-three chain formation?"
Gu An moved his wrist.
Shu Nanzhi was sitting on the ground, blowing air on his slightly charred feet. "What is a chain formation?"
Gu An said a series of tongue twisters: "It means that there are three small formations within the big formation, and three small formations connected to three small formations."
Seeing that Shu Nanzhi didn't understand, he explained, "To put it simply, what we just experienced were arrays within arrays, but these arrays are included in a huge array. Inside the array, no matter which direction we go, we will eventually return here.
"If we want to leave this formation, we have to repeatedly enter and exit the formation we just passed through and find a way to break the formation. This is very difficult."
Shu Nanzhi was just a two-hundred-year-old kid who knew nothing about battle formations, and his eyes were spinning.
But it doesn’t matter if she doesn’t understand, because we still have the Demon God!
Yu Xi, who was being looked at admiringly by Shu Nanzhi, sat cross-legged on the ground, thinking about how to leave.
It is definitely not a good idea to go in and out repeatedly. The attack intensity in those small formations will only get stronger and stronger, which will waste too much time.
But just staying here wouldn't work either. It would be best if they could pass it by trying again.
But wait, this large formation looks difficult to handle, but she has studied a lot of continuously looping formations and has a set of useful methods to deal with it.
"Brother An, how about we try to look around, take two steps, and then look back?"
Gu An was stunned, and after thinking for a moment, he nodded and said:
"No matter how things change, they still remain essentially the same. Senior Sister, I think your plan is very feasible. This formation is incredibly sophisticated, and finding a point to leave is incredibly difficult. But as long as he wants us to be trapped inside and unable to escape, he will definitely be unable to escape the most basic spiritual energy arrangement."
The so-called "one exploration, two steps, three turns back" is a cliché that has been summarized. One exploration means walking through the loop completely, finding the intersection of the loop and marking it. The second step is to set out again to find the repeated point. The third turn back means to turn around immediately after seeing the repeated point, and repeat this process.
Ordinary people often say that this trick is specifically used to deal with "ghost wall".
With this idea in mind, Yu Xi immediately led them to the next room. This time, the location they took was completely different from before, but they still entered the next illusion.
After discovering the repeated illusion, they immediately turned back, but instead of returning to their original position, they entered another illusion.
In this way, Yu Xi and the others dealt with the illusion while looking back repeatedly. After looking back three times in a row, their vision became wider and the tall pavilion that was originally far away from them was now in front of them.
Looking back, I saw that the distance of the stone bridge had returned to normal, a raging fire was still burning in the distance, and a huge ancient tree could be seen on one side of the field of vision.
They successfully left this almost impossible-to-break formation.
