Chapter 728: The Lost Hill Formation
The sky is dark, and the earth is dark.
Xun Yi urged the broken soul possessed corpse to walk slowly and aimlessly in the gray cloud.
The dark yellow mounds grew more and higher, and gradually joined the gray clouds that towered into the sky, and gradually became a continuous and winding wall.
Before he was about to lose his way, Xun Yi lay down on a gentle slope, holding his head in his hands and raising Erlang's legs, his face calm and his eyes empty looking at the dim sky.
At this moment, his heart was extremely peaceful, so peaceful that he didn't bother to think about anything, in the past, in this situation, he would think about Su Wan and Xiyang...... , thinking about all the beautiful past worthy of his nostalgia, but at this time, he just wants to rest quietly.
In the silence, time seems to have stopped, and all the senses of Xunyi gradually lose their effect, and the ignorance and unconsciousness seem to be omni......potent.
I don't know how long it took, Xun Yi seemed to hear a low roar from a beast, he suddenly came back to his senses, his rich experience in dealing with the battle made him stay calm and still lie there motionless, and he didn't spread his senses, just put up his ears and listened carefully, after a long time he didn't hear any movement, he sat up and looked around suspiciously, and couldn't help but be a little confused for a while.
After a period of rest, Xun Yi felt that his body and mind were light, he took out a pathfinder spirit rune, and played a trick on the spirit beast drawn on the pathfinder spirit rune, all the patterns on the spirit rune suddenly disappeared, and turned into a piece of paper with a texture like jade, at the same time, Xun Yi felt that there was some kind of spiritual object on the communication, and the feeling was very mysterious, as if he suddenly gained a powerful divine consciousness, with the urging of his mind, the spiritual thing moved forward quickly and slowly, and the scenery within a hundred zhang of the place clearly appeared in his mind.
In fact, the magic trick he played on the spirit rune was to cover a little of his divine consciousness on it, and the mana contained in the spirit rune was not only able to send his little divine sense to a place beyond his reach, but also brought him far beyond the ability to discern cultivation, which does not mean that he has fully possessed the divine sense detection ability of the great monk, but it has been greatly improved in some aspects, the biggest effect of the high-level pathfinder rune is the identification of the trap of the magic circle, and the ability of the best pathfinder rune in this regard can even be close to the level of the great supernatural power, but it is still worse than the soul possession corpse, and it does not have the ability to trigger the trap, but the control range is much farther than that of the Soul Possessed Corpse.
Xun Yi can feel that the spirit creature born on the spirit rune has begun to weaken from the moment it appears, which is the inevitable disadvantage of this kind of spirit rune, and the advantages and disadvantages are only in the size of the mana it contains and the speed of weakening
Xun Yi stood there quietly and concentrated on urging this spiritual creature to explore the way, but the high hill is difficult to cross, the spiritual creature can only zigzag in between, there is no way forward after a thousand miles, after choosing the fork on the left, the path began to turn backwards, after a while Xun Yi felt bad, and controlled the spirit beast along the original road to return to the right fork in the road, this time the path turned a corner after walking nearly a thousand miles to the right, no matter how to choose the fork in the road that was encountered next, the final general direction is to the left.
Although it is only to control the spirit object to explore the way, but the endless forks and the unchanged mound scenery still make Xun Yi can't help but feel annoyed, as the mana of the pathfinder spirit rune is about to be exhausted, the range he can see has dropped from 100 zhang to 10 zhang, the narrow field of vision makes him feel even more depressed, and finally the scene of the pathfinder spirit object sent back is gone in a flash, Xun Yi immediately exhaled a sullen breath, his head was a little dizzy, when the piece of paper with a texture like jade in his hand dissipated silently into invisibility, he shivered, and the little divine sense covering the spiritual object was sent back。
Xun Yi stood in the air for a moment in the blink of an eye, and then flew forward according to the path he had detected.
This pathfinder rune is almost wasted, the only function is to make Xun Yi realize that this maze array is far wider than he imagined, because not even a trap has been found, so the range detected by this rune is estimated to be only at the edge of the maze formation, he only has a total of seven pathfinding runes, there is no room for waste, it is best to use the soul possession corpse to explore the way first, and save the spirit rune for the critical time to use.
After flying forward for seven or eight hundred miles, Xun Yi chose to deviate from the identified path at a fork in the road, and since the path traveled by the pathfinder spirit rune was not ideal, he wanted to try his luck on another path.
After entering the maze formation, Xun Yi felt that there were so many forks in the road that it was outrageous, often one or twenty miles could be encountered, each intersection was a temptation, but also a shake of confidence, after hundreds of forks in the road, I am afraid that anyone will rise in despair in their hearts.
Xun Yi walked for more than an hour and encountered the first dead end, looking at the majestic mound in front of him, he tilted his head to look at the chaotic sky above for a while, and really wanted to rush up to see if he could climb over it, but he quickly suppressed this urge and turned around and flew back.
After returning to the previous three-way intersection and choosing another path, he soon found himself in the same situation that the pathfinder talisman had encountered at the end, no matter how he chose the path, he was going back in the direction of turning around.
When he returned to the path that the Pathfinder Rune had previously discovered, Xun Yi was depressed and realized that this place was only less than fifty miles ahead of the position he had originally chosen to deviate from the route, which meant that the result of going around and around for nearly two hours was only equivalent to walking fifty miles honestly, which was really enough to make people angry.
Thinking that Beigong Yi had said that this maze formation was easy to make people crazy, Xun Yi secretly warned himself that he must calm down, he did not choose to continue walking, but sat down and began to meditate, in order to calm his mind.
After an hour of meditation, Xun Yi began to explore again, at this time it was late at night, the original gray sky became pitch black, this kind of dark night that could not even see the slightest starlight is Xun Yi rarely experienced, with his current cultivation, even the dark clouds of the night can also be seen with the starlight with his divine sense.
The second time he chose a fork in the road to deviate from the original path, Xun Yi went around for most of the night, and then he was annoyed to find that the result was worse than the last time, looking at the mound in front of him that was getting lower and lower, he could conclude that he had returned to the edge from the maze of the mound formation, but it was just a little different from the position he had entered.
Xun Yi fell to the top of a mound in frustration, examining the road map formed in his mind, the dense forks in the road, the path of turning around made him very discouraged, with his ability far superior to that of mortals, now he could sort out a clue, but if he turned like this for a few more days, he was afraid that he would be dizzy.
After a long exhale, Xun Yi said to himself in his heart: "It's not bad to go around, just to take a breath of relief, anyway, I brought enough spirit stones and food, and I don't believe that it will take a year or two to go in!"
