Chapter Seventy-Five: The Wind Blows
The smoke cleared, and Sha Li's vision became clear again. He activated the vitality in his body, forming a wave of qi on the surface of his body, and bouncing the dust off his clothes. At the same time, he shook his head slightly, trying to soothe the sudden dizziness of Fang Cai.
"What happened just now, why did the place where you were standing suddenly move so fast?" Sha Li carefully recalled the scene that had happened before, "By the way, what about Wu Lone?"
He looked around, but he didn't find Wu Lone's figure, he couldn't even sense his breath, only the thick and tall green trees densely arranged in front of him.
After calling out Wu Liao's name a few times without getting the slightest response, he was already sure that he and Wu Liao had been separated due to the upheaval. Perhaps, it's still quite far away.
"Well, let's go out and find them. ”
Shali began to observe the dense forest he was in. The dense fog in the forest is filled, and with the sight of Shali, you can only see things within three zhang.
There was only one trail in the forest, which could only allow one person to pass, and it happened that Sha Li was standing on this path at this time. The trail went straight ahead, and as to whether it led to the top of the hill, Shari couldn't be sure.
"Since I was specially sent to this path, then I walked up and saw what was in front of me. Sha Li chuckled lightly, and walked directly towards the front of the trail.
What he didn't know was that on a thick branch of a large tree beyond his sight, a pair of round eyes that seemed to be still shining blue were staring at him.
As soon as he left on his front feet, the owner of those eyes flew up, but it was a snow-white night owl. If Xiao Dan saw it at this time, he would definitely think that this was the night owl they had seen outside the dense forest.
The night owl navigated through the fog unhindered. And the direction in which it is going, I don't know if it is a coincidence, happens to be consistent with Sha Li.
Shali walked on the trail at a rapid pace, not knowing how long he had walked, perhaps a quarter of an hour, or an hour, but he never reached the end of the trail.
"Something is wrong!"
He stopped abruptly, his gaze scanning in all directions. Here, the sparse shrubs, the tall and stout trees, and the layering of shrubs and trees are all the same as what Shali has seen along the way.
"Could it be that I've been spinning in circles?"
"Whew!"
A small cloud of scorching red flame ignited in the middle finger of Sha Li's right hand, and then, the flame body instantly expanded several times, the size of Sha Li's entire palm. Red Flame leaped through the thick fog, reflecting the forest where he was standing in a white and a red color.
With a flick of his fingers, the red flame fluttered down on the nearest bush.
There was a crackling sound of flames burning green leaves. In a few moments, only half of the shrub remained, blackened at the top and verdant below.
With a wave of his robe, the wind mixed with the pale yellow earth vitality extinguished the flames and saved the remaining half of the shrub.
After doing all this, he stared at the path and hurried away. This time, he was able to move at several times the speed of his feet. Everywhere you go, sand and dust rise.
Although he walked faster than before, Sha Li paid more careful attention to everything on the side of the road. The more he could see, the tighter his brow wrinkled.
Far from half an hour, he stopped. And at his feet, there was a bush. Half a blackened shrub, to be exact.
"Sure enough, it looks like he's trapped in a jungle maze. ”
Sha Li stared at the tall trees on the right side of the path that seemed to be arranged in an orderly manner according to certain rules, and the deeper part behind the trees that was hidden by the thick fog, and said softly, "It seems that we have to explore the way this way." ”
With a plan in his heart and a step under his feet, Sha Li finally took the first step out of the trail.
"Whoa......
Before he could go far, the familiar strange sound came again. In front of him, a yellow and white sandstorm mixed with pieces of turquoise broken leaves swept towards him with an astonishing sound. Everywhere they went, shrubs and meadows were destroyed in an instant.
"Damn it!"
Sha Li cursed fiercely, and avoided it far along the path of the path.
But before he could stop, another sandstorm hit him.
"Endless?"
Shari stepped over the path and sped away into the depths of another mist.
But before his figure could disappear into the depths of the fog, he turned again and returned to the edge of the path. Behind him, two terrifying yellow and white sandstorms approached aggressively.
"Goo Goo Miao!"
Just when Sha Li was running out of options, the strange but familiar birdsong came faintly.
Sha Li's heart seemed to be lightly pierced by a steel needle as thin as a cow's hair. He looked around suddenly, looking for the night owl.
But there is a thick fog all around, and there are no bird shadows here.
Suddenly, Sha Li stared at the mist above his head with some distraction. The mist above his head was a little different from the surroundings, it was much thinner, and there was a faint emerald color sticking out from behind the mist.
Seeing that a sandstorm was about to hit on all sides, Sha Li kicked his feet and jumped onto the branch of a nearby large tree. Then, with two deft jumps to the top of the tree, the emerald color visible in front of him became clearer and clearer.
"Hiss......"
Just as he was once again stepping on a thick branch and jumping towards the top of the tree, there was a sonic boom above him with countless sonic booms of air being cut.
"Not good!" Sha Li snorted heavily in his heart. The figure stopped in the air for a short time, but then dodged many times for a moment.
As his body fell, he stepped on a thick branch of the tree, and for a very short time, his body jumped down again, and stood back on the ground.
But at this moment, the sand and dust swept in from all sides. Before Shali could dodge, he was overwhelmed by the sand and dust that collided violently with each other.
...
In a room on the top of the hill where the Zhuge family settled, a high platform that could only be surrounded by four or five people stood in the center of the room.
On the base of the high platform, there are three feet of length and palm-sized brocade stones, which are red, yellow and blue respectively. The three brocade stones seem to be arranged on the base according to a certain pattern, each emitting a dazzling colored light.
Three colored lights meet in mid-air, interweaving a streamer light screen.
These three brocade stones were the same flowing brocade stones that Sha Li had seen on the top of the firmament, but they were much smaller.
The screen is divided into three images of unequal size.
The first is a young man with a silver-white phoenix wing, about thirteen or fourteen years old, speeding down a path that can only accommodate one person.
The second is a short-haired teenager who appears to be about sixteen years old, being torn apart by a sandstorm coming from all sides. And on a large tree not far from him, several thick branches of different heights were crumbling. Some even had only a little bark attached to them, swaying in mid-air.
The third is a girl wearing a furry hat with a colorful feather standing on top of it. Although the picture of the streamer screen is not very clear, you can still see the girl's cuteness.
Different from the style of the first two pictures, the girl actually sat cross-legged on the path, holding a white flesh in her hand, throwing it high in the air, and then leaning up to the sky and opening her mouth, and the white flesh fell into her mouth impartially.
The girl chewed on the flesh and muttered something in her mouth. If anyone is there, they can faintly hear:
"Thao, why hasn't Brother Sha come to me yet. The big fat bird didn't know where it flew. ”
Not far from the light screen of the statue was a futon, on which sat an old man with white hair sitting cross-legged.
The old man looked very old, his face was loose and wrinkled, but his eyes were bright. He stared at the streamer screen, motionless, and he didn't know how long he had been sitting upright.
"Crunch!"
The door opened. A middle-aged man in a brocade robe walked into the room, and his footsteps approached the old man who was sitting quietly in the room.
"Third uncle. The middle-aged man bowed to the old man.
The old man didn't look back, and said in a hoarse voice with vicissitudes of life: "Although these three people are juniors, they are also serious island guards sent by Yintan to help my Zhuge family investigate the case, is it too much for me to treat them like this?"
"The third uncle doesn't have to worry. Although these three people are new island guards, they are all very famous, and they must have extraordinary abilities. After this 'wind gust that covers the sky', it is easy to think about it. The middle-aged man laughed.
"Hmph! This 'Heaven Sweeping Wind Array' is the mountain gate big array of my Zhuge family, even the cultivators of the Lingyuan Realm may not be able to get out smoothly, let alone three little dolls. ”
The old man's tone was quite unpolite, and he didn't know if the middle-aged man despised his own formation between his words, or thought that he intended to humiliate the three young island guards.
"Third uncle. Since these three people are the island guards sent by Captain Russell to help my Zhuge family find the whereabouts of Vermilion Birdstone, they have to have some real material. If you can't even get out of this dense forest, what qualifications do you have to retrieve the Vermilion Bird Stone?"
Seeing that the old man did not respond, the middle-aged man sighed: "It's okay." If they can't get out within a quarter of an hour, the third uncle will send them out. ”
The old man did not respond, and the room fell silent for a moment.
At this time, the flow image light screen changed, and the three pictures became one.
In the dense forest, sixteen paths appear, which are arranged parallel to the outside of the dense forest, separated by tall trees. On each of the three trails, there is a person standing, sitting, or walking.
As the angle of view of the streamer screen changes, the scene in the picture becomes smaller and smaller, and finally reflects the whole picture of the hill.
At the foot of the circular hill are sixteen squares with heads and tails intersecting, and the squares are made up of the intersection of the heads and tails of the trails in the dense forest.
In the dense forest, there was a thick fog in several places, and in some places there were strong winds and sandstorms.
The outside is square and the inside is round, and the four corners are windy. People enter it, and they don't know where they are.
This is the big array of Zhuge Jia's mountain gate, covering the sky and raising the wind.
