Although he was shocked by the changes that had occurred in the temporary resting place, Lin Yang did not lose hope.

After shouting a few times and no one responded, he closed his mouth and began to look around the roaring campfire, carefully searching for useful clues.

As a result, it really didn't disappoint him.

After some searching, Lin Yang saw a messy footprint in the layer of dead branches and fallen leaves piled up on the ground.

These footprints stretch all the way into the darkness.

Lin Yang did not hesitate, and immediately picked up a burning dry branch from the fire.

This dead branch can not only act as a torch for lighting. At critical moments, it can also cooperate with fire control charms to exert a strong attack effect

Lin Yang just held a torch in his left hand and a flashlight in his right hand, and chased him all the way out along the footprints.

Ten minutes later, he stopped, his brow tightly knit.

The footprint came to an abrupt end here. It was as if Liu Xiangcheng, Xi Mengyao and the others disappeared out of thin air after arriving at this place

"What's the matter? Footprints will suddenly disappear in this place? Could it be that they have encountered a sneak attack by a black snake here?" Lin Yang secretly said in his heart, and hurriedly looked around for useful information.

In the end, under a locust tree, he found the mountain knife that should have been in Zhou Liang's hand, as well as a few extinguished torches.

The originally sharp mountain knife has been completely curled up at this time, and there is no way to use it at all.

Liu Xiangcheng, Zhou Liang and others must have had a fierce fight with the black snake here. In the end, they were unable to defeat the huge and strange number of strange black snakes, as evidenced by the knives and torches that fell to the ground

No wonder everyone's footprints came to an abrupt end when they arrived here.

It must be that after the black snake attacked Liu Xiangcheng and Zhou Liang and others, they formed a sea of snakes and carried everyone away on their backs...... With the level of IQ that these black snakes have, it is not difficult to do this.

Now, what worries Lin Yang is that he doesn't know if anyone was injured during the Black Snake's attack...... Or even death

"Damn, shit, shit"

Lin Yang scolded several times in a row, and he didn't know which direction to chase. These cunning black snakes, when they left, did not leave a trace at all.

Walking on the ground covered with dead branches and leaves will inevitably leave footprints, but it is difficult for snakes to leave any traces when they crawl on it.

Just when Lin Yang felt anxious, Chen Shiwen, who was floating beside him, suddenly looked cold: "Lin Yang, have you noticed that the dead air that permeates this locust forest is changing?"

"Dead air?"

Lin Yang raised his eyebrows, hurriedly calmed down, and discerned the changes in the qi around him.

He soon discovered that the dead air in this locust forest was indeed changing, and they were like boiling water, constantly tumbling. In addition, the concentration of dead qi has also been greatly improved compared to before.

The change in dead air is so obvious and so intense. If Lin Yang hadn't put his mind on the safety of Liu Xiangcheng and Xi Mengyao and the others just now, he would definitely have noticed it at the first time.

The change in the dead qi made Lin Yang startled at first, and then his face was happy: "Although I don't know what this dead gas is about, as long as we follow the direction of the change of dead air, we will definitely be able to find the missing Liu Xiangcheng and Xi Mengyao and others."

He can be sure that the change of dead qi is inevitably related to the disappearance of Liu Xiangcheng, Xi Mengyao and others

"Let's go this way" Lu Xiying immediately flew in one direction after a little identification.

As a high-level ghost warrior, her perception of death is stronger than that of Lin Yang and Chen Shiwen. Therefore, she flew ahead to lead the way.

Lin Yang did not hesitate, and immediately ran after Lu Xiying.

While galloping quickly in the locust forest, he secretly prayed in his heart: "Boss, Meng Yao, little lady...... You're going to have nothing to do."

After more than 20 minutes of wild running, Lin Yang's eyes suddenly opened up, and he actually came to an open field with a radius of about four or five hundred meters.

In this lush locust forest, there is still such a large open area, which is really a little weird.

However, Lin Yang soon saw a towering tree in the center of the open field

This big tree is also a locust tree, but its size is more than several times larger than the surrounding locust trees. The tree was three or four meters wide, and it would take more than a dozen people to be able to hug it.

It's amazing how the locust tree can grow like this

Array of eyes

Seeing this towering locust tree, such a word immediately flashed in Lin Yang's mind.

This locust tree, which is completely different from the same kind around it, must be the eye of this feng shui maze

I just don't know if Liu Xiangcheng and Xi Mengyao were carried here by the black snake.

Lin Yang's current location was at the edge of the locust forest, more than two hundred meters away from the towering locust tree in the center of the open field. In this pitch black situation, even if his vision is far beyond ordinary people, he can't see the situation on the towering locust tree clearly.

Just as he was about to step out of the locust forest and quietly touch the vicinity of the towering locust tree to see clearly, a bolt of lightning mixed with rumbling thunder suddenly appeared in the sky above his head.

Lin Yang realized that because the area of the open land was too large, even if the branches and leaves of the towering locust tree grew very luxuriantly, they could not cover the entire sky like in the locust forest.

Here, the night sky can be clearly seen in places that are not obscured by the foliage

There was no moon or stars in the night sky, because the rain was still heavy, and there was thunder and lightning.

With the light of lightning, Lin Yang finally saw the situation on the towering locust tree clearly.

On the branches of this towering locust tree, there seems to be something hanging on it. Lin Yang took a closer look, weren't the things hanging on them really Liu Xiangcheng and Xi Mengyao? Even, Deng Kai and Feng Qiong, who were chasing the ghost out just now, were among them.

All the people were hung on the tree, neither moving nor making a sound, and it was difficult to distinguish between life and death.

At a cursory glance, Liu Xiangcheng, Xi Mengyao and others seem to be hanging on the branches in a disorderly manner. But Lin Yang pondered carefully, but there seemed to be a strange mysterious aura in this hanging method, which made people's spines chill.

Just as Lin Yang was about to rush towards the towering locust tree and rescue Liu Xiangcheng, Xi Mengyao and the others, another lightning bolt swept by, dispelling the black haze around him.

Only then did Lin Yang see that around the towering locust tree, there were thousands of black snakes gathered in a dense area, which was completely a sea of snakes

These black snakes, all prostrate on the ground, their heads bowed, as if they were worshipping the king, and as if they were performing some kind of strange sacrificial ritual, which made people shudder to watch.

Fortunately, Lin Yang didn't rush over, otherwise, he would have been trapped in the sea of snakes at this moment.

At that time, not only could he not save Liu Xiangcheng and Xi Mengyao and others, but even his own life had to be taken in

"What should I do?"

In order to prevent exposure, Lin Yang hurriedly hid sideways behind a locust tree, and quickly thought about countermeasures in his heart.

Before he could figure out a way, the group of snakes gathered around the towering locust tree suddenly made a new move

There was a deafening 'boom', and the sound came from the snakes, like the sound of metal armor colliding and rubbing.

Lin Yang hurriedly took a look, but found that the black snakes who were still prostrate on the ground just now, with their heads lowered, had already raised their triangular heads high at this time. The snake scales below their necks were constantly rubbing, and the metallic sound of 'booming, booming, was coming from these snake scales.

Another flash of lightning pierced the night.

"Huh?"

By the light of lightning, Lin Yang could see clearly the appearance of the towering locust tree, which was actually divided into two halves - half was leafy and vigorous; The other half is charred as charcoal, completely lifeless

On this towering locust tree, there are two diametrically opposite appearances of life and death at the same time

"Ah...... I know what's going on" A flash of light suddenly flashed in Lin Yang's head: "This towering locust tree must have been struck by lightning, and half of it was scorched black." The other half, for example, did not know that they survived because of Weishenme. It is precisely because of this thunder that the effect of this feng shui array has been changed, making it a maze."

Lin Yang's guess was right, this feng shui array constructed by the locust tree was originally used to imprison the souls of the dead in order to achieve some ulterior effect. But after the locust tree in the eye of the array was struck by lightning, the feng shui in the array also underwent earth-shaking changes. Its efficacy is naturally completely different from before

Now it seems that this feng shui array not only can't imprison the souls of the dead, but even attracts all the yin, ghost, and death qi from all directions. As a result, a labyrinth has been formed in which both people and ghosts cannot get out

Another flash of lightning appeared.

Lin Yang suddenly saw that a figure like a child suddenly appeared at the top of the towering locust tree.

"It's ...... Ghosts?"

Lin Yang immediately judged the identity of this child.

The ghost at the top of the tree raised his hands suddenly, and a high-pitched hiss broke out from his mouth that made his ears hurt.

With a hissing sound, the black snakes gathered around the towering locust tree immediately took action - they took the initiative to retreat to both sides, giving way to two black snakes that were the thickness of a bowl.

These two black snakes, one on the left and one on the right, slowly climbed up the towering locust tree.

"What is this going to do?" Lin Yang frowned slightly, and secretly guessed.

The two black snakes quickly crawled to Yuan Gang, who was hanging at the bottom, and after licking Yuan Gang from top to bottom with a snake letter, they suddenly swung the snake tail as sharp as a knife, and cut a wound on the ankles of Yuan Gang's left and right feet.

Yuan Gang didn't know whether he was dead or alive, so he let these two black snakes hurt him, neither moving nor making a sound.

Blood poured out of the wounds on both ankles and dripped to the ground, causing a scramble among the snakes below. All the black snakes raised their heads and opened their mouths wide, waiting to drink fresh human blood.

After the two black snakes bleed Yuan Gang, they did not make any stop and continued to climb. Soon he crawled up to the boy from the art academy called Deng Kai, and the snake's tail waved again, and two wounds were cut on the man's two ankles.

"Heavenly ...... These black snakes are actually performing a sacrificial ritual, and the target of their sacrifice is the ghost standing on the top of the tree."

After figuring out the purpose of these black snakes, Lin Yang was shocked.
