Putting away the phone, Zhang Longqian frowned.

It is said that before he died, he also said that it had been called to the forest in the school by the manipulator, thinking of this, Zhang Longqian couldn't help but secretly guess.

Could it be that those fatal blood are really related to the forest in the school? What the hell is that guy trying to do? Does it have anything to do with that magic circle in here? If that's the case, wouldn't it be too dangerous for Nangong Piao and Cang Yan to approach rashly like this?

Thinking about it, she was a little worried, Zhang Longqian couldn't help but stand up, but she heard the sound of leaves rubbing in the direction of the forest center in the school, she immediately looked over a little nervously, and saw Nangong Piao, who was still maintaining the stealth technique, slowly walking back.

First breathed a sigh of relief, and then Zhang Long sneaked behind Nangong Piao to look around, but he didn't see Cang Yan's figure, nor did he hear the sound of the branch being plucked, and couldn't help but look at Nangong Piao who came over suspiciously: "Why are you alone?" ”

"Yan went to explore in other directions, I was afraid that you would not be safe alone, so I came back first."

Hearing Nangong Piao's answer, remembering that the magic circle was probably a trap laid by the controller, Zhang Longqian couldn't help but be a little worried: "Is it okay for him to be alone?" ”

Standing still in front of Zhang Longqian, Nangong Piao replied affirmatively: "No problem, Yan's hiding skills are much better than mine, and the stealth technique has not been lifted, except for the three of us who can see each other by spells, others can't see us, and the chance of Yan being found is basically zero." ”

"No, that's not what I'm talking about......" couldn't help but sigh for Nangong Piao's comprehension ability, Zhang Long submerged and said, "I mean, no matter how you look at this magic circle, it's all bad intentions, won't he be fine alone?" ”

"Then there is no need to worry. Yan is very strong, no matter what opponent he is, he will definitely win, since he was born until now, I have the impression that he has only lost once. ”

This aroused Zhang Longqian's curiosity: "The only defeat? Lose to whom? ”

It seemed that he had consciously said that he had missed his mouth, Nangong Piao's expression looked a little embarrassed, and he opened his mouth before he said vaguely: "Hmm...... A great monster with a thousand-year-old path, we were only twelve years old at that time...... Forget it, it's all in the past, and now is not the time to talk about it. Passing over this topic, he said with a hint of seriousness on his face: "Things seem to be a little troublesome, and the magic circle inside is a little weird!" ”

After sorting out his thoughts a little, Nangong Piao told Zhang Longqian about their discovery in detail.

The area of this circle is very wide, with a radius of about 100 meters—this is almost the nominal size of the campus forest, and its edge is more than 200 meters away from the outermost part of the campus forest, which is larger than the nominal diameter of the campus forest. And because they couldn't see the whole picture of the magic circle, they could only see some details, Nangong Piao and Cang Yan couldn't recognize what kind of magic circle it was, but the details that were revealed were obviously something they had never seen before.

At first glance, the spiritual power fluctuations of this magic circle are very weak, except for creatures like Xiaoxue who are naturally very sensitive to spiritual power fluctuations, and Cang Yan's perception that has become stronger under the strength of metamorphosis, if you don't deliberately explore carefully, I'm afraid no one will find that there is a magic circle here.

But contrary to the appearance of weak fluctuations, in fact, the flow of spiritual power in the magic circle is very large, but there are very few spiritual power overflows, which proves that the person who portrayed this magic circle has the ultimate precision in controlling the power, and this kind of strength is also something that Nangong Piao has never heard of. Moreover, these spiritual powers are very strangely connected with the plants of the entire campus forest, perhaps because of this magic circle, the actual area of the campus forest will be much larger than it seems.

And in addition to these, Nangong Piao and Cang Yan, who could not enter the inside of the magic circle, also discovered something obvious.

They saw a trail of blood on the edges.

Someone smeared a layer of blood on the ground around the edge of the circle, and not only drew around the circle, but also used the dark red blood to depict many figures in detail, and these figures interacted to form a huge shape, and continued to follow the circle, but the range was too large to make out what it was drawn for the time being, so Cang Yan followed.

"I'm afraid it's the blood of those twelve people......" Thinking of the news he received from Qinghu just now, Zhang Longqian frowned and muttered in a low voice, then looked at Nangong Piao again, "Can you see what those blood are used for?" ”

Shaking his head, Nangong Piao replied in a low voice: "I don't know most of the graphics, but there are a few that I have seen before, and they seem to be ...... A spell that forcibly breaks any seal. ”

This answer made Zhang Longqian even more confused: "...... Is there a seal here? ”

"I don't know about this, maybe those graphics don't work this way, and they don't necessarily. However, it should not take more than half a day to see the appearance of those blood stains drying up, we can only be sure that the controller was still here half a day ago, and if we can't enter the formation, we can't be sure that he is still in it, what should I do now? ”

Looking at Nangong Piao's inquiring eyes, Zhang Longqian couldn't help but smile bitterly. The two spell-savvy guys didn't know what to do, so what could she do with a mortal who didn't know anything? After thinking about it for a while, she could only reply in a low voice, "Wait and see." Wait for Cang Yan to come back first, if he can't recognize this magic circle, then wait a little longer, and wait for those people to make peace, maybe some of them will know each other. Even if it doesn't work, when everyone comes together, there will be more strength, and then it will be easier to find a way to get in. During this time...... We're just keeping an eye on it, lest we know if the controller is inside and runs away. ”

After speaking, she looked at Xiao Xue in her palm again, and said softly: "Xiao Xue, if you notice any spiritual power fluctuations that you don't recognize, you must alert us immediately." ”

opened her mouth as if she wanted to scream, but thinking that Zhang Longqian didn't let it make a sound before, Xiaoxue puffed up her chest, looked like she was dutiful, and nodded silently but firmly.

So the two men in stealth stood against the trunk of the tree, quietly looking in the direction of the center of the woods, each thinking about different things in their minds, and no one spoke, and for a while it was so quiet that only the sound of the breeze stirring the leaves could be heard.

However, this calm did not last long, and soon Xiaoxue jumped up in Zhang Longqian's palm excitedly-it still remembered that Zhang Longqian had made it unable to chirp loudly, and almost at the same time, Zhang Longqian's ears also keenly captured the subtle sound of branches and leaves rubbing.

But it didn't come from the center of the campus forest they were facing them, but from the far rear.

Under Zhang Longqian's silent reminder, Nangong Piao, who was not so sensitive in hearing, finally realized that something was wrong, and he frowned in confusion: "Could it be someone who came to make peace with us?" ”

Looking at Xiaoxue's appearance of jumping up and down, Zhang Longqian immediately denied: "Be mentally prepared to be the enemy." ”

"Don't say that, I want to cooperate with you so that I can enter that circle!"

The sound of the rubbing of branches and leaves was still in the distance, but the sudden sound of speaking suddenly became close to the ear.

The soul calming jade in his chest was hot again.

In the past few days, he has been facing all kinds of inhuman monsters, and the soul suppression jade will always emit heat from time to time, and Zhang Longqian is almost numb, and often ignores the obvious heat. But this time it seemed to be a little different from before, the high heat actually caused a slight tingling, which made her more vigilant.

Could it be a very powerful youkai?

But when he turned around, it was a man who appeared a few meters away with the voice.

――Anyway, monsters can turn into human appearances, and Zhang Longqian was not surprised by this human attitude.

But to her surprise, that "person" turned out to be not an Oriental.

The black fitted suit lined the slender figure more upright, the exposed skin was a little too fair, and it looked almost pale in the faint morning light, the hair under the black top hat was slightly curly pale gold, the deep eyes were pale blue, the bridge of the nose was straight, and the corners of the mouth were slightly raised, hooking an elegant smile.

After no doubt, it was the face of the Europeans.

It's strange that there are very few foreigners in Zhongkun City, and there have been no reports of foreigners coming in recently, how did this person come here?

Still passing through these thoughts as if he was suffering from an occupational disease, Zhang Longqian heard Nangong beside him make a stunned voice.

“…… Bloodsucker! ”
