Chapter 893: Ambush
After crossing the 'Xuanwu River', the road ahead was completely unknown, and since he had already encountered the Saint Realm Fivefold Heavenly Demon Beast, it meant that there were likely to be more in the future, so even Ye Xuan didn't dare to hold it up, and he raised his twelve points of vigilance, and his speed of travel slowed down a lot.
After passing through a small forest without danger, what appeared in front of the two of them was a relatively flat meadow, and the ground was covered with unknown light gray grass, which looked like dead grass, but when they looked closely, they found that those weeds were all vigorous, but the color was more peculiar.
On the other side of the meadow, there is an endless stretch of woods, and at the end of the line of sight, a towering mountain wall.
That was the 'end' of the Poison Ivy Back Valley, that is, the middle of the gourd-shaped Poison Ivy Valley, the dividing point between the front valley and the back valley, seeing it, it also showed that Ye Xuan and the others had already walked seventy percent of the distance of the back valley.
"There doesn't seem to be any monster here. Huo Miao looked at the grass in front of him and speculated in a low voice.
The field of vision ahead is wide, and it is unlikely that the demon beasts and poison ivy will be hidden, so the only thing you need to pay attention to is the danger from the underground, but there are not many demon beasts that inhabit the ground in the Poison Ivy Valley, and there are no two along the way, Huo Miao secretly prayed that it was best not to have them here, so that the two of them could pass through this grass safely.
"It does look calm. Ye Xuan nodded slightly, but his expression did not relax, and he muttered, "But it always feels like something ...... It's so calm. β
His divine thoughts were at their limit, and he carefully explored the grass in front of him, including below the ground, and searched as much as he could, but he didn't find anything abnormal, his heart relaxed a little, and said to Huo Miao: "Anyway, be careful, let's go over." β
"Good. Huo Miao nodded and carefully followed behind Ye Xuan.
After walking two-thirds of the way, nothing happened, and Huo Miao had subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he could really cross this grass safely as he wished.
But at this moment, he suddenly found that Ye Xuan, who was walking in front of him, stopped without warning, and suddenly turned his head to look to the right, with a very ugly look on his face.
Huo Miao's heart jumped, and she said nervously: "Sixth brother, what's wrong?"
Ye Xuan stared at the empty ground thousands of feet away on the right, his eyes flashed slightly, and he faintly spit out three words in his mouth: "...... ambush"
"What!!" Huo Miao was shocked, suddenly felt a little chill down his spine, and subconsciously raised all the holy power to make a defensive gesture, and at the same time he was a little dazed, because although Ye Xuan said in his mouth that it was a very bad situation, his expression looked a little too calm, not at all like a person who was in danger in the middle of the ambush.
"Buzz ......"
In the next breath, before Huo Miao could ask anything more, he suddenly felt a violent shock on the ground under his feet, and an incomparably powerful strange fluctuation appeared without warning, and then he found that the surrounding space was distorted at this moment, and as soon as he saw a flower, the surrounding scenery completely changed.
The grass under his feet was gone, the woods behind him were gone, the shadows of the jungle and the mountain wall in front of him were gone, and all that filled his vision was countless twisted gray mist, and even the feeling of being down-to-earth was blurred, making him wonder if he was still 'standing' on the ground.
"This, this is ......" Huo Miao exuded his divine thoughts to investigate, but found that he couldn't detect anything, as if he was in an infinitely wide void space, this situation made him a little flustered, and he couldn't help but look at Ye Xuan in front of him with a pleading gaze.
Ye Xuan's face became a little gloomy, and he said in a low voice, "This is the Phantom Array...... No, to be exact, it's the Phantom Killing Array......"
"Oh, I really have some skills, and I can see at a glance that this is a phantom killing array. β
At this time, a cold and old voice suddenly sounded, Huo Miao was shocked and followed the prestige, only to see that thousands of feet away on the right side was the place that Ye Xuan had been looking at before, and the gray 'mist' was distorted for a while, revealing the figures of the five people who appeared there at some point.
"Pei Shenhuan!!Ge Shuxiong!!" The moment he saw the two people who were the first of the five, Huo Miao subconsciously exclaimed, and at the same time completely reacted to what was going onβit turned out that the ambush that he had been worried about for a long time had finally come!
Unexpectedly, Ye Xuan really said it, these people have not shown any trace in the past few days, and they really ran to the front in advance to set a trap and wait for the two of them......
But how did they know the path of their two men?
At this time, it seemed to hear the surprise in Huo Miao's heart, and he only heard Ye Xuan's tone calm and said: "They will set up an ambush here in advance, in fact, there is nothing strange, I think they should have already speculated on all the routes we might take, and then set up monitoring formations near all routes before us, and then we can gradually narrow down the scope of our actions, and finally completely determine a 'must way', and then set up an ambush." β
"Hmph!!! At such a time, you can pretend to analyze calmly, which is really admirable. After listening to Ye Xuan's words, a trace of surprise passed in the eyes of Ge Shuxiong in the distance, and then he sneered, "It's just that you only understand these now, don't you think it's too late?"
Indeed, after Pei Shen entered the valley, he left Ye Xuan and them one step ahead, but then did not start the treasure hunt, but set up a monitoring formation on all the routes that Ye Xuan and them might pass through as quickly as possible, and when he confirmed the direction that Ye Xuan and they had originally taken, he continued to monitor according to the possible follow-up branch routes in that direction, and finally determined the current road that must be passed, and laid an ambush here.
Because Ye Xuan and their treasure hunting along the way delayed time, Pei Shenhuan was always one step ahead of them, and after Ge Shuxiong and them came in, they had Pei Shenhuan's signal guidance, and they quickly bypassed Ye Xuan and Huo Miao and joined Pei Shenhuan.
The monitoring formations set up by Pei Shenhuan were often monitored far away from the target route, so even though Ye Xuan had been very careful, he had never found those monitoring formations.
......
Ye Xuan didn't care about Ge Shuxiong's ridicule, he raised his eyes to look at Pei Shen's phantom, and his tone was actually a little admiring: "This phantom killing array is indeed cleverly arranged, before it was launched, I didn't even notice it at all, and the formation you are hiding in is also very good, worthy of being an experienced formation master." β
Being so 'praised' by Ye Xuan, Pei Shenhuan couldn't help but show a strange look, because these words were really too inconsistent with the atmosphere of the scene, and he couldn't understand why the other party could be so calm since they had already been ambushed.
And Ye Xuan's attitude of ignoring made Ge Qixiong, who had just made a sarcastic remark, angry, and without waiting for Pei Shenhuan to speak, he shouted: "Ye Xuan!!Do you think you can still be useful if you are pretending like this now! Today, the two of you are destined to die here!"
Ye Xuan glanced at him and said lightly, "Do you really think so?"
