845. Lonely Village
"Wait......"
When Qiao Yixia heard this, her eyes flashed, and she seemed to quickly think of something, and walked quickly to the sealed window on one side of the house, and looked inside through the gap—sure enough, as she had guessed, there were no furnishings in it, let alone traces of human life, not even decoration.
These houses, which only look like houses on the outside, do not carry the same function at all, but are only made to serve as carriers for these seals.
In other words, this was not a place to live, and it wasn't a village at all—the whole area was part of the Great Array.
Even the surrounding mountains belong to this large array, and this village bears the role of the eye of the array.
And just now a few of them fell from the sky in that house and smashed into the grove not far away, although it is unlikely that this formation will be destroyed directly, but it is likely to temporarily cause some disorders, although this level of formation will generally have the ability to automatically repair, but before repairing, their safety in the formation is not guaranteed.
And, most importantly - it was precisely because the formation could be temporarily disturbed that they had a chance to escape. You know, this is a seal-type magic circle, and this level of sealing is simply a net for them now, and it is impossible to escape if it is intact.
In other words, they now have to not only protect themselves in the chaos of the formation, but also have to find a way to escape and successfully implement it before the formation completely repairs itself.
Without further ado, Qiao Yixia immediately told the flamingo and the finger sand his speculation succinctly and quickly, and added: "The angles and positions of these markings that the flamingo found just now are different, most likely because these markings are going to surround and point to the center of the array eye—the place where their angular extensions coincide should be the center of the entire large array, that is, the location of the things that have been sealed by such a formation. ”
"Logically speaking, shouldn't we avoid that place?"
Finger Sands thought for a moment: "With something sealed with this level of formation, maybe we may die as long as we get close!" ”
Flamingo pondered, "If it is normal, what you said is completely correct. But the problem now is that, first of all, we don't know any means of dealing with this formation, and once the so-called "disorder" time passes, we are trapped. What's more, we can't detect the so-called "disorder" at all, let alone accurately judge the time. Secondly, we didn't accidentally enter here, but were thrown into it, and it is clear that the being who threw us in must have some purpose, and if we don't achieve what it wants us to do, maybe we will continue to be thrown in, or we will be disposed of directly. ”
Qiao Yixia's hand clenched his sword, "Your description reminds me of a certain guy with a very bad taste...... It's really her style. If it's really that guy who did it, then we're going to have to prepare for the worst - that guy is not just messing around, he's going to kill and not bury it. ”
"That's damn good news......"
The sand between his fingers immediately began to swing: "So we have no other choice but to go to the center of the formation now, right?" ”
Flamingo nodded, "If we had the time to go around the mountain and not be afraid of wasting it, I would choose to take a full circle around the mountain and then turn the village around as well - but we don't have much time now, so we can only choose the most direct and fastest method." ”
"Don't worry too much. At least this has a slight advantage - that is, we don't need to find a way to break the formation ourselves, and if we release the sealed thing, the formation will naturally be unlocked. ”
Qiao Yixia's eyes flashed slightly, and he comforted him very unconcernedly: "As long as the sealed thing doesn't attack us at that time, or if we escape relatively quickly, it is still very likely that we will survive." ”
But it was clear that her persuasion did not have any effect, and even made Finger Sand feel even more pessimistic.
But even if they were pessimistic, there was no better way, and after a little rectification, the three of them headed in the direction of the center of the array.
The closer you get to the middle, the more obvious the inclination of the surrounding houses, the outer part is still only faintly oriented, and the more you go inside, the more you can see that these houses have even formed a circle.
Qiao Yixia's brows gradually furrowed - she had been on guard against possible dangers, but for some reason, she became more and more aware that there was a faint aura of familiarity in her memory. But for a moment, I couldn't remember what it was.
Soon, a high platform surrounded by village houses gradually appeared in the sight of the three of them.
Unlike the dilapidated wooden houses around it, this decaying high platform has been untended for a long time, and at first glance it looks like a ruined wall, but with a little attention, it is easy to recognize the slightly faint carved reliefs, which are simple and imposing.
From the ground, countless chains made of runes, constantly emitting light black smoke, and I don't know whether there is a physical one, bound and wound this high platform tightly, and finally entangled on the top of the high platform, tangled into a cocoon.
Qiao Yixia suddenly felt a tingling pain in her brain, and immediately staggered two steps in a trance—at that moment, she seemed to recall something, but it was fleeting.
"It's ...... What? ”
Finger Sand looked at this ghostly creation in amazement, if it was such an existence, it seemed that even the sealing circle that was originally thought to be of a sufficient level would not be able to match it.
The phantom of the giant scythe in the flamingo's hand began to flicker at this time, as if it was absorbing some kind of free energy, replenishing itself, and gradually began to change from illusory to solid, and her own association and echo with this giant scythe became more and more obvious and intense.
At the same time, Qiao Yixia suddenly stepped on the ground on tiptoe, jumped up suddenly, and flew towards the high platform.
Then there was a violent sword roar, and the bayonet sword in her hand swung so fast that she couldn't even catch the phantom in her sight, and quickly cut off the chains one by one.
The cocoon on the platform grew smaller and thinner, and at last, it revealed its true form encased in the cocoon of chains.
It was a bronze sword that was so rusty that it had completely corroded and blurred its appearance.
