Sha Li jumped down from the tree, only to feel that the place where he was standing was moving rapidly, and his calves sank to stabilize his body.

Then he looked to where he had come from. I saw that the tall trees and shrubs were moving rapidly, which was dazzling.

Beneath the ground, there was a dull rumbling sound, as if some huge machine was running. With such momentum, he guessed that some kind of change was taking place drastically throughout the dense forest.

In less than half an hour, the ground under Sha Li's feet stopped moving, and the strange noise under the ground also stopped.

Sha Li looked up at the thick branch that had just been unintentionally broken by himself, and he already knew in his heart that this was the hub that controlled the entire dense forest maze. Under this small tree, there must be a mechanism to control the maze and a metacrystals to maintain the maze.

His original idea was to destroy this array, after all, this damn maze had trapped him for a long time, and his mind was on the verge of collapse.

But after thinking about it carefully, I finally resisted the impulse.

Although the vision was a different look than before, the previous path was still there, and Shali decided to follow it to find out where it led.

It didn't take long for him to reach the end of the trail, but it was a boulevard.

Sha Li looked forward and backward on the avenue, and behind him was the entrance to the dense forest, and beyond the entrance was the wooden bridge that crossed the stream around the forest. And in front of him, the avenue led to the top of the hill.

"Babble, Brother Sha!"

A crisp and delicate call carried undisguised surprise, and before Sha Li could react, a petite and soft body was already heavily hung on his body.

"I'm here, Boss. ”

Before Sha Li could put Xiao Dan down from him, Wu Lone's voice sounded in front of him.

Sha Li's gaze swept over the two companions in front of him, one big and one small, Xiao Dan's pink and jade face was spotless, but Wu Lone was like himself, quite dusty.

"Boss, did you break this maze?"

As Wu Lao spoke, he re-wrapped the phoenix wing pit in his hand and carried it behind him. He had been on alert when he was trapped in the maze before, but now that he met Sha Li again, he was completely relaxed.

"That's right. This maze is secretly in line with gossip and easy to count, and I was lucky enough to find the eye of the array and break it. ”

"Babble, I know that Brother Sha is the most powerful. Xiao Dan looked up at his little face, and his phoenix eyes narrowed into a line.

"Worthy of being my boss. Wu Lao also nodded heavily, deeply agreed.

"Goo Goo Miao!"

Hearing the familiar sound of birds, the three of them immediately turned sideways and found a snow-white night owl standing on a horizontal branch of a low tree on the side of the road.

"T'Chat, it's the big fat bird!"

Xiao Dan screamed, and his pastel-colored eyes instantly brightened.

"It was this big fat bird that led me to crash into a strange tree that moved, and caused me sand in my eyes. Big fat bird, don't run!"

Her mouth was full of resentment as she accused the night owl of its crimes, and she was about to rush towards it.

"Little friend, slow down!"

A vicissitudes of life and hoarse voice sounded in the ears of the three of them, and Xiao Dan also stopped.

"Who is it? Hide your head and tail, come out for me. Wu Lao looked around vigilantly.

Sha Li looked at the night owl, his sword eyebrows raised slightly, and he had a wonderful conjecture in his heart.

"Old decay is right before your eyes. ”

Hearing the voice again, Xiao Dan shook his little head slightly, and finally fixed his eyes on the white night owl, his eyes widened a little more, and his face was full of incredulity.

"Thao, Brother Sha, this big fat bird is actually ...... Can you speak?"

Wu Liao first stared at the night owl with some stunnedness, staring at its round eyes that emitted a faint blue light, and then as if he remembered something, he said to Sha Li:

"Boss, I remember that Master and his old man mentioned to me that there is a family on the island, and their family has a miraculous skill that can imitate the shape of living creatures and create artifacts with the same appearance, which they call puppets. ”

"However, I have never heard of a puppet still talking. This is much more intelligent than the original body. Wu Lao said in surprise.

"No, it's not the puppet bird that's talking. Sha Li stared at the night owl in a tone of certainty.

"Hello, but the sound is obviously from the big fat bird!" Xiao Dan scratched his little head, showing great puzzlement.

"The sound does come from the big ...... Night stalker, but it's not that it's talking. "Sha Li was almost led astray by Xiao Dan.

"What the boss means is that this puppet is being manipulated, and it is the one who is manipulating who speaks. Wu Lao finally understood the meaning of Sha Li's words.

Sha Li took out a dark green oblate brocade stone from his waist and said, "Although I don't know the specific reason, this puppet bird must be equipped with something similar to 'Hongyin' in its body. ”

Wu Lao naturally knew that "Hongyin", as a common sound transmission artifact among the Yuan people of Qiyuan Island, had a set of small formations in it.

"Hehe, Xiaoyou is really smart, no wonder he can break this 'sky-sweeping wind array'. "Night Stalker" said, "Dao." There was also an appreciation for Sha Li between the words.

Sha Li's gaze swept between the hills and the dense forest, and he asked, "Is the 'Covering the Sky Wind Array' the name of the maze that trapped the three of us just now?"

"Not bad. This array is the mountain gate big array of my Zhuge family, and it is the first time that those below the Lingyuan realm can successfully get out of this array. ”

Sha Li thought about it carefully and knew why. Although this maze is very powerful, its main means of trapping the enemy is the wind array. This level of wind gust would make the three of them helpless, but it would definitely not be able to trap the Yuan of the Spirit Yuan Realm for too long.

"Do you recognize the three of us?" Sha Li asked suddenly.

The night owl didn't respond immediately, as if thinking about the overtones in Sha Li's words, and only replied after a while: "If the old man is not mistaken, the three are the island guards sent by Yintan to help my Zhuge family find the Vermilion Bird Stone. ”

"Why did you set up a maze to trap us here, when you guessed that we were island guards?" Sha Li stared directly at the night owl's round blue eyes, believing that the person speaking could see his expression.

Wu Lao and Xiao Dan stood on the left and right, and they also looked at the night owl with a slightly gloomy face. They were trapped in a daze before, feeling helpless, and they naturally had resentment in their hearts.

As if feeling dissatisfaction from Sha Li's tone and the posture of several people, Night Stalker explained: "The three little friends don't know anything. When you step into this dense forest, the Great Array will trigger on its own, not by the deceased. ”

"Oh, even so, you should have noticed it when the maze was activated. Then why don't you stop the big formation so that I can get out of trouble sooner?"

Sha Li's momentum became more and more compelling, and the meaning of questioning between words was self-evident.

The night owl was silent for a long time without moving, Xiao Dan poked Sha Li with his finger and said, "Brother Sha, that person won't be scared away by you, right?"

As if in response to Xiao Dan's words, the silent night owl actually spoke again: "Alas, Xiaoyou is so clever, I can't hide it from you, so I just tell you the truth." Three of you, please see. ”

"Goo Goo Miao!"

Before the three of them could figure out the meaning of their words, another slightly long and strange cry of the night owl came, followed by another night owl. The same whole body is snow-white, and the body is round.

"Hey, two big fat birds!" Xiao Dan's pale eyes were faintly shining.

"Goo Goo Miao ......"

As soon as Xiao Dan finished speaking, he heard hundreds of bird calls sounding one after another, one after another, continuously, resounding throughout the dense forest.

The three of them looked up at the same time and saw no less than 100 night owls as if they were chasing each other and flying out of the dense forest, soaring into the sky.

"Wow! what a lot of big fat birds!" Xiao Dan looked at the flock of birds, his eyes lit up.

"Sister Xiao Dan, that's not a real bird, you can't eat it!" Wu Lonely glanced at Xiao Dan and said.

"Actually, I've been spotting you since you appeared on that high ground beyond the jungle. I've been able to see you all the time since you've been in the middle of the battle. "The night owl standing on the thick branch said.

"Are these night owls puppets delivering messages for you?" asked Shali.

"Exactly. Except for my Zhuge family, no one in Qiyuan Island can create a puppet of this grade. Although the night owl's tone was flat, the pride in his words could not be concealed.

"You haven't answered my question yet. Sha Li said.

"Don't worry, the old man will explain.

Recovering the Vermilion Bird Stone is the first priority of the Zhuge family at the moment, and after our clan's investigation for many days without results, we asked the Silver Beach Detachment to intervene.

Captain Russell also personally promised to send the team's elite island guards to take full responsibility for this matter......"

"Teacha, old man, do you mean that we are not elite? Dan interrupted unconvinced.

"Hehe, to be honest, when I first saw the three young friends through the eyes of the night owl, I did think that Captain Russell was perfunctory to my clan.

Although the three of them were born in the Silver Beach Detachment, they must have something extraordinary. However, the matter of retrieving the Vermilion Bird Stone cannot be delayed, and if the island guard sent is not worthy of the name, it will not be of any help to my Zhuge family. So ......"

"So you don't stop this 'Covering the Sky and Wind Array' to test our ability?" Wu Lao said.

"The performance of the three of them was really beyond my expectations.

Actually, I originally planned to teleport you out of the formation in a few moments, if you can't get out of the trap. I didn't expect you to break out so quickly, but it was a surprise to me. ”

The three of Sha Li naturally heard the praise in his words. Moreover, this explanation is acceptable. After all, although they are from the Silver Beach Detachment, the three of them are really young, which can't help but make people suspicious.

Sha Li didn't speak, as if he was thinking about all the words of the night owl. Wu Lao and the others were silent when they saw Sha Li like this.

"Hehe, since the three little friends have passed this formation, it is better for this puppet to lead the three to the house, and the old man is waiting on the top of the mountain. ”

Seeing that Sha Li and the three of them didn't speak, the night owl hurriedly said.

"Then it will be tiring. Sha Li said.

"As it should be. After saying this, the night owl flew up and led the way.

After Sha Li signaled to Wu Lao and the two, the three of them followed together.

The hill in front of them is about 200 feet high, and if the three of them do it with all their might, they will soon be able to reach the top of the mountain. But the night owl seemed to be intent on easing the rift caused by the maze, so it didn't fly fast. Along the way, he also told the three of them some anecdotes about this mountain, some history of the Zhuge family, and so on.

After about a stick of incense, the three of them came to the top of the mountain, in front of the gate of the Zhuge family's mansion.
