Chapter 52: A Strange Death
Guo Da looked at the other two teams, and immediately set his eyes on the heroes who entered the "Tian" word cave, as for the people in the "human" word cave, although the number of people was twice as many as his own, but looking at their momentum, it was not worth a penny. With a slight touch of Lian Wuxin's gaze, the two of them smiled tacitly, and then converged towards everyone.
Listening to the various strange things that these people deliberately exaggerated in the cave of the word "human", and the two people of "heaven" and "earth" just talked about their respective encounters lightly, Shifang was a little embarrassed, after all, compared to the danger they encountered, it seemed that the least of the three people, from the number of people can intuitively reflect.
After a brief exchange, several people who had demonstrated their strength through the tribulation stood up, namely Lian Wuxin from the "Tian" word cave, Zang Tianfeng, Guo Da from the "earth" word cave, Hai Xuefei and Shifang Their group of Fang Dao and Wang Shengtian were six people, most of them were first-class masters in strength, and even a few people had stepped into the innate realm with one foot.
In front of them they are in the stone forest, looking at the dense appearance of this stone forest, I am afraid that the slightest carelessness will be lost, and everyone knows nothing about this stone forest, how big this stone forest is, what kind of danger is hidden in it, and once danger occurs, this complex terrain is a luxury even if it is withdrawn.
Shifang is not worried, with his attainments in the formation, the things contained in this stone forest naturally can't escape his eyes, it's just a non-lethal intermediate trapped formation, although he can't crack it, but give some time, I believe it is still not a problem, and even if he doesn't have himself, give these so-called heroes some time, there will always be someone who can get out, but what kind of use does this non-lethal trapped formation have? Could it be another joke of the initiator, thinking of the indifferent person who is hidden in the shadows and regards life as a mustard, Shifang has a bad premonition in his heart.
After a brief discussion, the six leaders organized their men to begin a tentative exploration, and they chose eight directions and sent a team of ten people to spread out in all directions with the foothold here as the center. In order to prevent everyone from finding their way back, someone took out more clothes and tied them to the top of the stone pillar here, which was counted as a marker, and more than ten people were left here, Wang Shengtian, Lian Wuxin and Guo Da were among them. The three of them chatted about what they had seen and heard, and then quietly waited for the news, according to the promise, don't go far first, return in two hours, it is best to rush before dark, summarize the preliminary situation, and make plans tomorrow.
Shi Fang just saw an acquaintance in the team of the cave with the word "earth", it seemed to be the boatman on his own boat, everyone had breakfast with Boss Duan, but no, it stands to reason that they should still be waiting for everyone on that boat, and in order to explore this fairy island, everyone brought seven days of dry food, and these boatmen should not leave the shore of the island.
But Shifang didn't think much about it, maybe he was wrong? Fang Dao came over and patted him on the shoulder, and then said, "What, what's the wait, it's just a small stone forest, what is there to worry about." ”
"Alright? Brother Fang is not afraid of the hidden dangers? Shifang asked curiously.
"Little monk, you still have too little experience in the rivers and lakes, an old man like me can naturally smell a trace of danger, as for the stone forest in front of me, I don't feel it at all, do you think that the people who have just discussed it have not considered this issue by dividing us into such small teams?" Fang Dao said with a smile, "Let's go, let's take a look at this stone forest." ”
Shifang was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Thank you Brother Fang, Shifang has been taught." ”
Fang Dao patted Shifang's shoulder, and then followed the other eight people towards the stone forest. The road is not easy to walk, there is gravel everywhere, and the field of vision is very narrow, a team of ten people, who can get a glimpse of all the others, can not do it, most of the time there are only four or five people left in the eyes.
With the passage of time, wisps of smoke slowly surrounded from the ground and from the air, feeling a little trance-like, distance, under the shroud of these white mist, it seems hazy, real and illusory, the feeling of the room knife is very bad, although he does not feel the mortal danger, but at the moment this feeling is still very annoying, can't see clearly, can't touch, like a blind man spinning.
Sometimes the person in front of him disappears completely, and the voices of the people are even more ethereal, even if they are close at hand, but there is an illusion that they are far away.
This fog? Shifang has long felt that something is wrong, he just knows a lot about the basic magic circle, as for this intermediate magic circle, he can only get a glimpse of one or two, and this kind of magic circle is very strange, according to the records of the third master, this kind of formation is still in the category of formation, but it does not belong to any of the methods of arranging the formation that he knows, what is the eye of the formation? What role do the stone pillars in this stone forest play in the formation? And where does this fog come from? Is there a role for psychedelic people? Shifang is also a little vague.
At this moment, suddenly there was a "ping-pong" weapon collision in front of us, and everyone hurried forward, but because of the narrow location, it was congested for a while. Fang Dao shouted: "Get out of the way!" As he spoke, he jumped up, and leaped forward above everyone's heads with the overlapping force of the stone pillars.
Shifang was a little anxious, and finally squeezed to the front, but found Fang Dao talking to a person, "Misunderstanding, I thought it was a monster." ”
"Brother Tai is very skilled, indeed, this fog came strangely, and our perception has dropped a lot, so friction occurred, but fortunately there was no damage." This is a man from the cave with the word "earth", he said as he looked at the fang knife that jumped over.
"Yes, this son of a bitch's stone forest, fucking makes everyone powerful and has nowhere to go, it's like falling into a swamp, by the way, what team is the brother? We are on the seventh team. Fang Dao said with a big grin, putting his hand on the man's shoulder.
Shifang rushed over to see such a scene, and when the other party heard Fang Dao's tone, a trace of disdain obviously flashed in his eyes, but he still arched his hand and said, "We are the second team." Then he shook his shoulders without a trace and shook the hand of the knife down.
Shifang secretly said in his heart, he didn't expect Brother Fang to behave like this in front of outsiders, it seems that he has a lot to learn when he enters the rivers and lakes. Hey, the second team, I remember that although the direction of our two is not opposite, but it will definitely not be the same, after walking for an hour, it should be gradually getting farther and farther away, how can we meet at this time, is it possible that the direction we are looking for has already undergone some changes under the cover of these white fogs?
The man was obviously the speaker of the other team, and Fang Dao consciously stood up and negotiated with the man, and finally the two decided to return together, fortunately, they only rushed for an hour, and there were a lot of marks along the way, and under the suggestion of the ten parties, the two teams merged into one and slowly returned along the other party's markers.
The road was smooth, only half an hour, they rushed back to the original place, Shifang came back all the way to observe carefully, sure enough, their direction was far from the direction of their own team, this maze is indeed not simple. On the contrary, there was a hint of joy in Shifang's heart, for a person who studied the formation method, when he encountered another completely different formation method, of course, the heart of curiosity or study rose.
Over there, they slowly reported what they saw and heard in the stone forest, and Lian Wuxin, Guo Da and the others also frowned and thought about the method, in their opinion, this is just a maze, no lethality, give some time, you can always find the right way, unlike the previous step by step crisis, the slightest carelessness will be in danger of death.
The remaining teams rushed back one after another, and Shifang went around in circles, in his opinion, this should be the central area of the formation, he secretly looked around, according to his understanding of the formation, began to try various combinations in his heart.
There was no sunlight here, and perhaps they were not exposed to the sky at all, but the night still staggered in step by step. Shi Fang frowned, these intricately arranged stone pillars do not have much value, or in addition to increasing the complexity of the maze, the only use is to hide the real stone pillars that are the eyes of the array, just wait for tomorrow dawn to look at it, the stone forest turned into a shadowy black silhouette in the dark night, and they, outsiders, are in the center of this darkness.
Suddenly, a trace of bloody smell drifted away with a yin wind, Shifang narrowed his eyes, and quickly ran in the direction where the bloody breath came from, and sure enough, he saw seven people gathered around, looking around with wary eyes, as if there was some danger around him.
Shifang didn't hide his traces, the seven people all looked at him, their hands holding their weapons trembled slightly, and they breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Shifang's appearance clearly. Shi Fang stretched out his hands to show that he had no malicious intent, and then slowly leaned over, only then did he see the source of the bloody qi in the circle surrounded by the seven people. It was three corpses, dead peacefully, the expressions on their faces not yet completely cold, and without the bloodstains, it would have been hard to tell that they were silent.
"What's going on? Everyone is not far away, you send someone to let you know. Shifang pointed out the way, and the two men ran to report the news, while he looked at the others.
A person recognized Shifang, he said with red eyes: "We don't know what's going on, the fog here is getting thicker, and we can't tell the direction at all, so we all decided to go back, and when I was about to come back, I suddenly smelled a smell of blood, and then I found that the three people behind me had fallen." I think if we find out later, ...... Next one will be my turn. ”
"Did you notice anything else strange before that?" Shifang asked, killing three people in succession, leaving no trace, this is simply impossible.
"I don't know, we immediately searched the surrounding stone pillars, no, we didn't find anything, it was like...... They...... Died out of thin air. The man's tone gradually trembled, and the eyes of the five people all revealed fear in the depths of their eyes.
"No, they died by a blade, it must have been man-made." After a brief look at the wound, Shifang said affirmatively.
"That's right, they died from the blade, and not so long ago." The person who came was Zang Tianfeng, he looked in all directions, then stepped forward to take a closer look at the corpse and said, then looked around, and continued: "Transport the bodies of these three brothers back first, and then we will take care of it." ”
Shifang looked at the dead man who was still unable to close his eyes, and sighed again.
The night is deeper......
