Chapter 488: Phantom Killing
ā
With the formation in formation, everyone went deep into the fog. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć Ji Zhou, who was the leader of the info, threw down a small flag every other distance, and although the others didn't ask, they estimated that it should be used for them to guide them on the way back.
As we went deeper and deeper, the cold in the fog became thicker and thicker. At the beginning, everyone's faces were still relaxed, but the more they went inside, the more solemn their faces became, and in the end, there were even a few of the weakest cultivators covered in sweat, holding the spirit stones one by one and constantly replenishing the consumption of mana.
The cold is already terrifying, and the cold in the depths of the fog is even more terrifying. Every step they took seemed to be against a soft wall, and if they hadn't joined forces together, even Ji Zhou wouldn't have dared to go so deep alone.
The most terrifying thing is not the alien cold itself, but the various illusions formed by the cold fog under the evolution of the formation.
Sometimes I see a mountain in front of me, but when I step into the air, I realize that it is a cliff at all. Sometimes there seemed to be a gully dozens of zhang wide in front of them, but when they carefully crossed it slowly, they found that there was actually nothing there, and it was flat.
The change of terrain is just that, and in the end, the desire for demons, monsters, fish, insects, birds and beasts appeared one by one, and even people were transformed. One by one, the senior masters who could not be called the name rushed towards them with fierce gods holding the hilt of their knives, and several refining gods with weak concentration subconsciously wanted to dodge and push away, but fortunately, Ji Zhou spoke in time, so that the formation did not cause a big disaster.
"Light! Look at that light! Only that light is real, everything else is an illusion!"
Ji Zhou shouted, his voice implying mana, constantly shaking the hearts of others.
"Remember that light! If you can't concentrate, don't look at that light, look at the rest of the team! Let's walk in formation, there is no fog in the formation, it's very clean, so there will be no illusion! Converge the divine mind and hold Yuan Shouyi, stare at the other people in the formation, occupy your position and follow, you can't leave if you die!"
The few refining gods who were almost confused hurriedly followed suit, not daring to look at the fog outside, and all turned their heads to look at the others in the formation, and their eyes did not take their eyes off.
The team stabilized again, Ji Zhou secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at the various phantoms in the mist with an ugly face.
He was glad that he had brought these people with him, for if he had come here alone, he would have been surrounded by illusions on his front and back, and he himself would not have the confidence to break free from the illusions.
He was even more glad that this maze was only condensed through the cold mist and the phantom was confusing people's minds, and it had little effect on the monk's spirit. If they encounter the kind of maze that can directly comprehend the spiritual sea of cholera monks, then they will be in big trouble. The illusion that was almost unreal and the impact on the monk's spiritual world, it would be strange if these people, including himself, were not hit.
The parents who have long forgotten, the wife who parted sadly, the children who died unjustly, one by one the familiar and forgotten figures that he didn't want to think of kept appearing, and the sound and smile were so real, they always poked the softest place in his heart.
But Ji Zhou knew that these were all fake, and he could still ignore them at first, but the more he went on, the more realistic the fantasy became, and scenes of the past came to his mind, and he finally couldn't help but break them up one by one with anger. But it's not a good way to break up, it feels as if he has killed his relatives over and over again, and the taste is definitely not pleasant.
With one palm, he watched his wife fight with affection, and Ji Zhou couldn't remember how many times it was. Seeing his beloved face turn into smoke in front of his eyes, Ji Zhou couldn't hold back the pain in the depths of his heart, the pain in his heart.
"The deceased has passed away, leaving me alone in the world, desperately trying to become an immortal and an ancestor. But even if you reach the top of immortality, without the company of the old people, what is the point?"
An inexplicable sadness flooded his heart, and the feeling of frustration suddenly rose, and Ji Zhou's heart gradually sank, getting colder and colder.
Thinking seriously about whether he should understand this meaningless remnant life, a bell hanging from his waist suddenly vibrated for a moment, and the sound of the bell was pleasant but inaudible, and no one else heard it except him. But such a thin and inaudible bell sound was like a Hong Zhong Da Lu in his ears, and the crisp bell sound echoed repeatedly in his mind.
The heartache disappeared in an instant, and the idea of self-judgment dissipated, Ji Zhou was full of excitement, and his face was full of horror when he came to his senses again.
"Damn it, Confused!"
At first, I thought that this formation had no impact on the spirit, but who knew that this confusing effect would quietly descend unconsciously. Ji Zhou almost landed on the road accidentally, and when he turned his head to look, he saw that everyone else had stopped and stood in place with a struggling face.
"Sister Lan, I'll accompany you!"
A mid-stage god refining suddenly roared, took out a dagger and stabbed it into his heart. His eyes were fixed on the mist outside, his eyes were full of tenderness, and his face was full of love and relief.
"Bastard!"
Ji Zhou scolded angrily, the mana poured into his fingers and flicked his fingers, and a fine light flew into the man's wrist and hit the man's wrist, the man was in pain and let go of his hand, and the dagger suddenly slipped down.
Ji Zhou secretly breathed a sigh of relief after saving that person, and he wouldn't care about that person's life or death at other times, but now the cold is full of illusions, if that person dies and messes up the formation, then none of them want to leave alive.
Seeing that everyone else was also struggling with their faces, Ji Zhou didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly grabbed the bell on his waist and raised it high, and shook it vigorously under the mana.
While~~~~!
The crisp bell sounded, and the others were shocked when they heard it, and their thoughts were empty in an instant, and they all woke up with excitement, and their faces were full of horror when they recalled what had just happened.
"Don't be stunned, stick to your mind, and hurry up to form a formation!"
When everyone heard this, they turned their heads and saw that they had unconsciously deviated from the direction they were guarding when they were distracted just now, if it weren't for Ji Zhou waking up in time and holding their foreheads alone, they would have been turned into ice sculptures by the cold attack at this time.
Hurriedly returned to their original positions and stood up for the mana to be poured into the mana, and when the shield that protected them stabilized again, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and they were full of fear when they looked at each other.
Killing the array, the maze.
In terms of power, the killing array is powerful, but when it comes to being unpredictable, the maze is definitely well-deserved. No matter how powerful the killing array is, at most it can't bear to die, but this maze can make you fall into the road unconsciously, and even death is unclear, which is the most frightening point.
Looking at the cold fog outside the shield, everyone's hearts were awe-struck. Before, they heard that there was only a maze and that there was a treasure light to guide them, and they were full of joy, but at this time, that joy had long since vanished.
It's not that there are no other prohibitions in this maze, but that there is no need for them at all. The illusion of being weak and strong from the outside to the inside makes people fall into it if they are not careful, and the thick and almost solidified cold here continues to erode the flesh, once you fall into the illusion, you can kill people in a trance.
The cold mist and illusion form a perfect match here, and before you know it, you will never recover. Other prohibitions are redundant here, and no matter how powerful the prohibitions are, if they can't leave people behind under a blow, they will make the cultivators who are trapped in illusions see the flaws and wake up.
"Change the formation, the Quartet, everyone take turns to rest. ā
After ordering four monks in good condition to be on duty, Ji Zhou closed his eyes and sat down on the spot and began to breathe silently.
Although his consumption is not large, he is not much better mentally than others. The cold mist just now condensed a lot of old things that were sealed in his heart, and although Ji Zhou woke up in time, his Dao heart was still shaken a lot.
In order to prevent the Dao Heart from being damaged, he had to suspend his progress and concentrate on his mind, so as not to expose the flaws in the Dao Heart and be taken advantage of by the maze again. And the others are all tired, and if they continue to move forward without repairing, they are likely to be destroyed and killed.
After pranayama for a long time, he felt that he was fine, and after repeatedly confirming that there were no spiritual seeds left in his sea of consciousness by the previous illusion, Ji Zhou got up and replaced a monk on duty, and sat there watching the strange light in the mist and silently pondering.
When he was meditating just now, he clearly felt that these strange lights made him feel an inexplicable throbbing, as if he had heard the whispers of the Heavenly Dao, and in a trance, it seemed as if it was just an illusion. However, his cultivation, which had been stagnant for a long time, was clearly loosened in this throbbing, which showed that his feelings were not hallucinations, but really existed.
Looking at where Qiguang came from, Ji Zhou's eyes were full of fiery and greed. can make his cultivation feel improved, and no matter what the treasure there is, he will decide.
Glancing at the others lightly, it seemed that he was investigating the recovery status of the other seven people, and seeing that no one was looking at him, Ji Zhou's eyes suddenly turned cold, and a trace of killing intent flashed.
Whoever dares to stand in my way, I will kill him!
With a sneer in his heart, he twisted his head and looked outside again, secretly thinking in his heart how to escape from this maze after killing people and seizing treasures.
He thought that no one had discovered his thoughts, but after he turned around, Zhang Tianlan and Hao Youxiao, who were sitting with their eyes closed, opened their eyes at the same time, and after the afterglow swept Ji Zhou, their faces were cloudy.
"Brother Zhang, if something happens, can you and I join forces?"
Hao Youxiao passed the voice, Zhang Tianlan's expression remained unchanged, and his head was slightly clicked.
"Yes!"
Hao Youxiao's heart was settled, her beautiful eyes swept and handed Zhang Tianlan a sweet smile, and just as she was about to continue to breathe, an annoying voice interjected.
"I don't know what good things the two of you are discussing, is it okay to count me Du Ming?"
It was the eight-character beard that spoke, he saw that Hao Youxiao and Zhang Tianlan seemed to be discussing something, and he probably was discussing how to get rid of this old ghost, and he didn't want to just want to step in directly. Although he was a disciple of the Ghost Worship Sect and Zhang Tianlan of the Mangshan Sword Sect would definitely not be able to sit together, it would be different with Hao Youxiao here. The Hao family has always been neutral, and with Hao Youxiao mediating it, it is not impossible for the three of them to join forces.
What's more, it's so dangerous here, and Old Ghost Ji is so powerful, they also need him, a "high disciple" of the Ghost Worship Sect, to help, right?
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Zhang Tianlan's face immediately turned cold, and he threw a word back coldly without thinking about it.
"Get out!"
Du Ming knew that he would be like this, and he was not annoyed, he didn't look at Zhang Tianlan and just looked at Hao Youxiao with a smile, he believed that Miss Hao would definitely be able to make a conscious choice.
Sure enough, Hao Youxiao handed him a smile, and the soft voice that made his heart itch sounded in his head.
"Brother Du, little sister doesn't know what you're talking about. ā
Looking at that beautiful face full of cunning, Du Ming's smile instantly stiffened, and his squinted eyes flashed with danger.
