CHAPTER XIV

At 7:35 p.m., a man kept going back and forth in a garden in the back courtyard that seemed desolate and bleak as far as the eye could see. It is said to be desolate because of the large garden, except for a circle of holly planted on the periphery, only a large half-withered tree in the center, and the lower branches and leaves are almost completely shriveled, leaving only a scattered green in the middle and upper part of the middle and upper parts of the country to breathe. And the rest of the place, it turned out that only the most ordinary grass was planted!

"Be careful, this land has become a place to seal that thing since it became our family's property, and the people in the family have set up many formation mechanisms here for generations, please be careful not to get hurt when you check it. ”

Baiyin's mind echoed the admonition that Ryoichi Hakugaoka had given him when he was preparing in the room. To be honest, he seemed to subconsciously feel that Ryoichi Shiraoka was a little strange. But where exactly is the problem with this person, Baiyin always can't say. Silver has always trusted its instincts, and it almost never makes mistakes. But this time, could it be that because of the imminent war, I was nervous?

Forget it, it gives me a headache when I think about it. It's better to keep observing. "Whew", a strange wind blew behind him, and Silver immediately became alert. He continued to walk quietly, with the occasional rattling of blades of grass swaying toward the opposite side of the wind, and the almost inaudible sound of something surging and draining beneath the ground.

Suddenly, a stream of watery liquid rushed out from under the feet of the silver, and with this column of water as a point on the side, the ground suddenly seemed to be torn apart by a hand, and formed a circle, and the water flowed at high speed in the annular cracks, up and down in the ring of earth. Silver smiled slightly, and his cane lightly drew a semicircle on the ground, and quickly drew a ripple of water on one side. A faint white light then quickly spread upwards in the air to form an extremely thin wall, and its momentum seemed completely disproportionate to the surrounding water, as if it would be washed away at any moment.

However, after the water poured into the mist-like light that could be extinguished at the snap of a finger, it unexpectedly changed its character, and gently flowed slowly around the outer side of the light mist. Silver raised the corners of his mouth, sealed his left hand, and slapped it with a slam palm, and the water immediately receded, leaving only the smell of a mixture of water and earth exuded from the washed land.

Silver withdrew the defensive barrier, and with a turn of his right hand, a staff studded with a silver-plated skull appeared in his hand, tapping lightly against the damp ground, and he left after half a circle in place.

I wonder if Silver has noticed that the water-washed ground, which exposes the loess below, has regrown green shoots just a short time after he left, and the tall green leaves spit green, and in a moment they returned to their original appearance.

He continued to roam the endless meadows. Suddenly, a soft and melodious flute ensemble came to his ears. He was slightly stunned and looked in the direction where the voice came from.

There was a slight but continuous sound from the grass, and Silver was immediately on alert. Soon I saw a bamboo leaf green emerge from under the grass, and its round eyes stared at Baiyin curiously, but it immediately lowered its head and crawled away.

At this time, several bamboo leaves swam past Bai Yin's eyes, and they all climbed towards the half-withered and half-glorious tree. Silver felt strange and quietly followed, and as soon as he reached the bottom of the tree, he felt a cold under his feet, and he lost consciousness.

After a brief moment of vertigo, Silver felt his feet solid, stepping into the ankle-length, dark blue grass. Silver immediately opened his eyes and found himself in a cultivated bamboo forest. Everywhere you look, there is a verdant green, and even the cool air seems to have turned a light turquoise, which is suitable for hermit.

When I looked up, I was covered with dense bamboo leaves and branches, and the white sunlight poured down through the gaps in the leaves, reflecting the small silhouettes in the dark grass.

However, in the midst of this silence, the arrival of a silver krait snake shattered the peace. It wrapped around the bamboo pole and went up, its black and white scales faintly shimmering in the sunlight with a pale golden glow.

Silver didn't notice it at first, after all, a snake about four and a half feet long couldn't compare to a huge bamboo forest. But the serpent, as if deliberately provoked, fell from the sky with a hula when the silver passed through a Buddha's belly bamboo, smashed to the ground with a snap, and immediately stood up, spit out Prussian blue letters with bad intentions, and chased the silver with deep black eyes.

Silver was already full of fear of this sudden arrival of the bamboo forest, and in his cognition, there were only two possibilities for him to change from the scene he had just seen to the current one in just a few seconds: illusion and space distortion to create a crack and carry him here. Although I felt like I was only unconscious for a few seconds, it was possible that it was just an illusion. Moreover, just listening to the admonition of Bai Qiu Ryoichi, the head of the Bai Qiu family, could not understand the specific situation of the formation set up here, and it was not clear whether everything here had killing intent for external existences. All in all, caution is paramount. It's a big deal to treat it as a special exercise, and Silver has always been very confident in his own strength.

One man and one snake have been facing each other like this. I don't know how long it took, the silver krait suddenly bowed and stabbed to the left of the silver, and the silver subconsciously waved his cane, but found that the snake turned to the cylindrical body halfway and stretched outward, turning out a volley, semi-circular arc trajectory rushed to the back of the silver, the silver immediately turned sharply to the back, and then was stunned-

The silver-krait, which was more than four feet long, disappeared out of thin air, but Silver reacted immediately, and the cane rose backwards with the force of reaction, and in a matter of seconds, it was firmly on a huge tortoiseshell bamboo. At the same time, four or five umbrella knots quickly passed through the rotting grass in front of the tortoiseshell bamboo and crawled south.

Silver began to look at his position again. Now he is the only clump of tortoiseshell bamboo around, and this bamboo grows abruptly and abruptly surrounded by green and purple bamboos for some reason. It's not easy to get lost, but it's relatively easy to attack. Behind it is a closed forest of green bamboo, which can also be regarded as difficult to retreat, and the open space in front is not large, so it is impossible to fully play its advantages.

"Break each one...... Baiyin whispered, his body rushing forward like an arrow from the string, like a flying swallow skimming through the bamboo forest, his feet quickly stepping on the bamboo pole, trying to leave this forest formation that could not find the edge.

But it didn't take long for Silver to realize that he had made a huge mistake. For some unknown reason, hundreds of green snakes poured out densely under the green bamboo that had been touched by silver, and they were meandering and intertwined like a large net full of confusion and danger, exuding the rotten and poisonous gas of grass and trees and corpses everywhere. From a distance, silver has become a small prey under the mouth of the snake, and it may be devoured at any time.

Silver sped forward, wondering what had gone wrong. Suddenly, a green snake with a thick neck bit straight at Baiyin's head from above, Baiyin was startled, and reflexively slipped his cane to the right and slashed upward, not wanting to be too strong, and broke a green bamboo beside him. The green bamboo was thick and large, and as soon as it fell, it fell to the ground with several bushes of bamboo around it, and smashed it at itself—Silver immediately jumped away—and with the loud sound of the bamboo branches breaking, a cloud of smoke and dust rose in the grass, choking Silver Tears. But the next moment Silver was stunned, and suddenly froze in place and forgot to move.

Countless green snakes emerged from the bamboo poles, accompanied by the poisonous gas of death and the smell of erosive corpses, and the long strips of bodies were entangled with each other and crawled out, wrapped in layers. After a while, the ground, which was originally only nearly 40 square meters, was like a hill full of green snakes, which were entangled and made people feel terrified for a while.

Silver was afraid for a while, and cold sweat immediately poured out all over his forehead. I didn't expect that those green bamboos that I thought were water bamboos at the beginning turned out to be snake bamboos, if I was slow to shoot so slowly, I would definitely be gnawed by the snake sea and the bones would be gone.

Now comes the problem. This bamboo forest walked for a long time and could not see the edge, and there were green snakes around him, it was really difficult to break through the encirclement: kill one by one, I don't know how to kill until the year of the monkey, and find a gap to leave, the probability of success is too low, not to mention, it is too time-consuming. Moreover, there is a high probability that the person will faint due to exhaustion halfway through the escape, and if it comes true, the result will be unimaginable.

Could it be that this formation is just to consume the physical strength of the trapped people? As soon as Bai Yin thought of this, he became vigilant: this does not seem to be a very aggressive formation, and it seems that the real danger has not yet come! But who is it that has the ability to set up such a formation that is not very offensive but consumes a lot of mana? If it is really just to prevent the birth of that sealed thing, it is completely possible to use spells and magic circles that are much more terrifying and destructive than this. Could it be that the formation here is simply to intercept and kill the people who enter the realm? Bai Yin was taken aback by his own thoughts, and only then did he realize that he was already in a cold sweat.

At this time, the bamboo forest suddenly fell in pieces without warning, and the world in Baiyin's eyes shook in an instant.
