53. Unpredictable
I had heard about Zhuge Liang trapping the enemy with the gossip formation before, but I didn't expect to hear about it in this bizarre empire, and Jiajing was secretly amazed.
Jiajing glanced around, and faintly felt that the haystacks and rocks on the mountain were all acting as important pawns in the Bagua Array, either bright or dark.
Fortunately, Snickers also has a lot of research on this kind of Central Plains formation, and they also have a treasure map in hand, so Jiajing and they found a place to sit down and rest, and only waited for Snickers to find the entrance before telling them.
Even so, it took Snickers more than an hour to find the entrance.
I saw Snickers take a long breath, wipe the sweat from his forehead, and couldn't help but sigh repeatedly: "This magic circle is really powerful, and other ancient tomb formations are simply trivial compared to it, quickly, everyone come with me." ”
Snickers himself pressed a few times on a stone wall, and asked Punavi to switch several large rocks near the platform, when Punavi finished placing the last rock, the surroundings were immediately shrouded in wisps of mist, and when Jiajing looked around, he soon found that on the edge of the cliff that was empty, there was a winding stone bridge, and the stone bridge happened to connect the platform with the cliff on the other side of the valley.
Half a meter wide and one meter thick, under the stone bridge, there was a lot of fog. The mountain is high and foggy, and the waterholes and dense forests under the cliffs are not visible, and at a glance, it seems as if the valley has become bottomless.
Snickers looked back at the Punal brothers' expressions that seemed to be a little worried, and half-jokingly: " You don't have to worry, this stone beam is very strong, it won't collapse easily, but you also have to be careful, this kind of magic circle is unpredictable, it may conjure up all kinds of fierce birds and beasts, people who are not firm enough will easily fall off the cliff because of fright, this cliff is unfathomable, even the King Kong puppet may have to fall to pieces, so you have to race against time to cross the bridge, try not to let them change too many times, and more importantly, the entrance to the circle will not appear for long, if the entrance disappears, we all have to fall into the valley. ”
As he spoke, Snickers took out six chains from the storage ring, and a corresponding number of stiff ropes as thick as his thumb, and with a swift movement wound the stone beam, and then fastened it, and then tied the rope to his waist, and the other end was attached to one of the chains, and commanded, "Tie yourselves as I do, so that you may not fall off the cliff in a moment." ”
The Snickers really came prepared, Jiajing and they didn't dare to be careless, they all learned to tie the ropes like the Snickers, and then used a long rope to tie all the six people according to the meaning of the Snickers, and the Snickers took the lead at the front of the team, and began to move towards the opposite side in an orderly manner.
Several mammoths were all tied to the other side of the col.
Not long after the six Jiajing people stepped on the stone beam, the dense fog on the platform began to slowly fade, and the stone beam across the cliff, together with the six people walking cautiously on it, gradually disappeared.
An unusually violent wind suddenly blew around him, blowing on Jiajing's body, like a thousand knives, and the pain was very great.
The pain was so real that it didn't feel like a hallucination.
The strong wind made everyone sway, and they could only lie on the stone beam and crawl forward, but Xiaoting, who was thin and weak, still didn't hold the stone beam tightly, and was blown down by the strong wind in a blink of an eye.
After Jiajing, who was in front of her, heard Xiaoting's scream, she hurriedly looked back and found that it was Xiaoting who fell, her face suddenly changed greatly, and she hurriedly called the Snickers in front of her to stop, and he grabbed the side of the stone beam with one hand, and pulled the rope carefully and calmly with the other, and finally lifted Xiaoting up for about two or three minutes.
Due to the fright, Xiaoting's face turned pale.
Jiajing saw that she was thin and weak, and she had to drag the heavy iron chain on her body to crawl, so she must have been very difficult, so she had to reach out and hold her and say, "Let me carry you over." ”
When Xiaoting heard this, her originally white pretty face suddenly turned crimson, she thought about it for a while, and she didn't dare to delay everyone's time, so she nodded, and then nervously lay on Jiajing's back, feeling Jiajing's left hand dragging her buttocks down, Xiaoting's face suddenly turned even redder, and she couldn't help biting her lower lip, and also stretched out her hand, hugged Jiajing's chest tightly, and whispered with a shy face: "Thank you!"
Jiajing turned his face sideways and smiled at her, "It's okay, we're all family." ”
Family?
Xiaoting was stunned for a moment, facing the smile on Jiajing's face, and this warm and gentle speech, Xiaoting felt that her heart and liver were about to melt, and she was flattered and buried her head behind Jiajing, too shy to meet his warm gaze.
With the protection of iron chains and ropes, everyone finally passed the first level of the Bagua Circle without danger, and suddenly felt that the scenery in front of them was turned upside down, and when the scenery in front of them stabilized, the sky had become very dull, the clouds were rolling endlessly, a large area of black pressure, and countless lightning flashed between the clouds, everything seemed to be very close to them, which made people shocked.
Snickers was looking up at the sky with a rigorous face, trying to find out the key to clearing the customs from it, and was pondering, when suddenly a wrist-thick golden lightning struck on the stone beam in front of Jiajing, and immediately burst out with a loud "boom", and the stone beam was blown off several large pieces in the blink of an eye!
Seeing that many stones had fallen, and there had been no echo of the stones touching the bottom for a long time, everyone couldn't help but feel so frightened that they felt a chill down their backs, and they really couldn't imagine the terrible scene if they fell down the valley.
Xiaoting's delicate body couldn't help but tremble slightly, the original red fluttering little face turned pale again, and a pair of jade hands couldn't help but work harder, tightly grasping Jiajing's palm.
Jiajing was also startled by the sudden golden lightning, instinctively used the golden energy in his body, and a faint golden glow appeared all over his body, and he didn't know if this had a protective effect, after hearing Snickers urging everyone to run, Jiajing also grabbed Xiaoting's little hand, clasped it with ten fingers, and rushed forward more quickly with Xiaoting on his back.
I don't know if these lightning bolts are really illusory, although they keep exploding around everyone, they never fall on everyone, even those stone beams that have been blown down a lot of stones, although there are many cracks, they still won't break.
With the passage of time, although everyone thinks that most of these lightning bolts are just illusions, but every time it splits down, the damage caused is so realistic, as close as a shock, and every time it falls, they can clearly feel the scorching heat of the lightning, which can always frighten everyone, and their hearts are tense, lest the lightning will slash on the top of their heads in the next second.
