Jiang Meng got He Hong's assurance, nodded with satisfaction, and then said that their first task now is to escort He Hong back to China safely, and now that everyone has almost rested, then they must continue to complete this mission.

Liu Ping's subordinates naturally had no objection to Jiang Meng's arrangement, while He Hong had already been frightened by Sang Dawangcha's pursuit, and he just wanted to reach a safe place as soon as possible, let alone have any objections.

So, after a few people cleaned up a little and covered up the footprints and other traces, they set out on the road again.

Several people walked into the jungle one by one, and Jiang Meng, who was at the back of the line, suddenly looked back in the direction where Zhao Yi disappeared at this time, and a blazing light of hope flashed in his eyes......

On the other side, Zhao Yi quickly returned to the station where he was before, and after packing up the mountaineering bag and other equipment, he followed the route given by He Hong to the final destination of his long journey.

Two days later, the dusty Zhao Yi finally appeared in front of the entrance of the "Forbidden Valley" in He Hong's mouth.

This time, Zhao Yi did not have any accidents on the road, and arrived here very smoothly. It's just that he has been traveling at full speed for the past two days, so there is a slight tiredness on his face.

Standing at the entrance of the valley, Zhao Yi calmed down his somewhat rapid breathing and looked around at the surrounding environment.

As He Hong said, the entrance to the valley is filled with extremely heavy fog, and these fogs are very strange, the howling mountain wind in the mountains and forests has not stopped, but no matter how strong the wind speed is, it cannot blow the fog away.

"Looks like I'll have to walk into this fog myself to verify my previous suspicions." Zhao Yi said secretly in his heart, and without much hesitation, he raised his feet and walked into the mist.

Really walked into this fog, Zhao Yi felt that this fog was far thicker than when he observed outside, with his eyesight now far beyond ordinary people, he could only barely see three meters away, beyond this range, he couldn't see clearly, and when Zhao Yi looked up at the sky, his eyes were full of fog, and he couldn't find any trace of the sun at all. In this way, he can't even tell the difference between the east and the west.

In such an environment, Zhao Yi's cultivation seemed to have no room to play, he thought about it, chose a left-hand direction and walked straight over.

Along the way, he walked very slowly, stopping from time to time to pinch something with his fingers, and every time he did the calculations, he would correct his direction before continuing to walk.

After walking like this for about half an hour, Zhao Yi's eyes suddenly lit up, and the next step was to step out of the fog, he looked around, and he was really like He Hong said, and returned to the entrance of the valley after turning in the fog for a long time.

"It's a little interesting...... "I was frustrated when I first entered the fog, but Zhao Yi didn't show any signs of discouragement on his face, but he showed a very interested look.

Immediately after that, without any hesitation, he immediately turned and stepped into the mist again.

This time, he chose the direction of his right hand and began to move forward. But again, even though he continued to calculate and correct his direction, after walking for nearly half an hour, he was back in front of the entrance to the valley again.

And Zhao Yi seemed to have competed with this fog, and stepped into the fog for the third time without a pause.

This time, he began to move straight ahead, but the seemingly right choice still didn't help. After a while, Zhao Yi's figure appeared at the entrance of the valley again.

However, Zhao Yi did not turn around again and walked towards the mist at this time, but after thinking for a while, he picked up a branch and began to draw something on the ground.

After a long time, it was not until a large piece of the ground in front of Zhao Yi was outlined by him with complex and incomprehensible lines that he threw away the branches in his hand, and a confident smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Exactly as I thought, there is indeed an upside-down three-talent array hidden in this fog."

The Sancai Formation is a kind of Xiuzhen Realm Formation named after the "Three Talents" of Heaven, Earth and Man, and is known for its outstanding confusion, and many martial artists like to use this formation when setting up defenses for their caves.

If you want to crack the Sancai Array, there is only one way, that is, according to the order of heaven, earth and man, you can pass through the heavenly grid and the earth grid in the formation, and finally pass through the guò personality, that is, the only exit of the Sancai array, you can walk out of this formation, but the direction of the three squares of heaven, earth and man is only clear to the people who arrange the formation. Unless there is a powerful martial artist who can forcibly calculate the correct direction of the three squares of heaven, earth and man with his powerful computing power, after the uninformed person walks in, he will often not find the correct exit in it and lose his way, and finally can only return to the entrance of the formation under the effect of the formation.

In fact, as early as when Zhao Yi obtained the centipede's notes, he guessed based on the centipede's experience that most of the people in this fog were set up by three talent formations, but when Zhao Yi himself walked in the fog, he immediately overturned this idea.

Because when Zhao Yi first entered the formation, he relied on his ability to calculate the three squares of heaven, earth and man, and then after passing guò in turn, he found that he did not enter the valley through the exit of the guò formation, but returned to the entrance.

This result left him a little confused, wondering if he had missed any clues in the formation, and in order to test this idea, he entered the formation twice, but the next two attempts also failed.

Fortunately, the experience of these three failures finally made Zhao Yi wake up, and someone did lay a formation in this fog, but it was not a three-talent formation, but a more insidious reversal of the three-talent formation.

This reversal of the Sancai Array is a variant of the Sancai Array, which is set up by reversing the Sancai Array, and setting the exit in the direction of the Tiange, and only after passing through the personality and the earth grid first, and then passing through the Guò Tiange can you get out of the formation.

After carefully calculating the entrance to the valley several times, it was confirmed that nothing was missing. Zhao Yi stepped into the fog for the fourth time.

After passing through the three grids in the mist in reverse order, Zhao Yi's eyes lit up again, passing through the mist, but this time he did not repeat the mistakes of the previous three times and retreated to the entrance, but really stepped into the valley.

With an anxious mood, Zhao Yi immediately looked around at the surrounding environment as soon as he entered the valley, but the next moment, the excitement on his face disappeared and was replaced by an expression of disbelief.

Didn't the centipede's notes say that this valley was full of rare spirit grasses that were hundreds of years old, but why did Zhao Yi see hundreds of meters away, and he didn't even see the shadow of a single herb except for the wild grass everywhere he could see.

Zhao Yi didn't know how to describe his mood at this time, for the sake of these rare spirit grasses, he was full of enthusiasm and worked tirelessly from W City all the way. In his original vision, with the help of the rare spirit grass in this valley, his cultivation speed would be at least five or six times faster, and maybe he would have seven or eight years of hard work, and he would have the hope of impacting the foundation building period.

But after going through some twists and turns, after really coming here, I found that what I did was a bamboo basket for nothing. Zhao Yi only felt like he had been poured through a basin of ice water from head to toe, and his whole person became a little lost and depressed.

"Could it be that the centipede's notes are fake, and all the things on it are made up by him?"

After a while, Zhao Yi barely bothered to pull himself together and tried to deduce the truth of the matter, but this idea was quickly overturned by Zhao Yi.

Not to mention that this valley and the mist formation are indeed as described in the notes, just the several poisons used by the centipede when he ambushed him, several of the spirit grass ingredients in it have been extinct in the outside world for many years, and according to common sense, it is impossible for the centipede to prepare those poisons.

The only possibility is that the centipede was indeed the rare spirit grass obtained in this valley, as recorded in his notes, otherwise it would be impossible to explain the source of those spirit grass ingredients.

"So, it's probably because something happened in this valley, and those spirit grasses have completely disappeared?" Zhao Yi thought about it and felt that this was the biggest possibility.

In order to verify this idea, and with a little hope that it would be possible to find other surviving spirit grasses, Zhao Yi began to head into the depths of the valley, ready to explore carefully.

However, what made Zhao Yi a little strange was that he had observed very carefully along the way, but he couldn't see the corpse with the poison formula of the cultivation realm recorded in the centipede's notes.

Originally, Zhao Yi thought that this corpse, which should be a martial artist, might have a clue about the valley mutation, but now it seems that this clue has also been broken.

Continuing to move forward, Zhao Yi's heart sank more and more. As he went deeper, the environment around him became more and more desolate, with yellow dirt everywhere, and even a few patches of grass were no longer visible.

This situation also made Zhao Yi gradually die, it seems that it is impossible to find any spiritual grass in this valley. Now, his only reason to go down was to find out what had caused such a strange change in the valley.

After traveling a few hundred meters deeper, the end of the valley appeared in Zhao Yi's sight, and he could already see that at the end was a towering stone cliff, and there seemed to be a small cave at the bottom of the stone cliff.

Seeing that cave, Zhao Yi couldn't help but perk up.

In his mind, in a relatively closed environment like a cave, maybe some spirit grass could survive in it. Thinking of this, Zhao Yi hurriedly raised his speed and walked towards the cave, but not long after, Zhao Yi's pace gradually slowed down.

Because as Zhao Yi got closer and closer to the cave, he saw that the stone cliffs on both sides had been blasted out of several deep pits by something, and countless gravel were scattered everywhere on the ground below the deep pits.

Not far in front of him, several large dry trees also broke off and fell to the ground, and the closer they got to the cave, the ground began to reveal a series of criss-crossing ravines.
