Chapter 176: Maze
The small attic was unguarded, and the gate was not locked, so everyone easily pushed the door in.
After hitting the middle-aged city lord, Yang Ning's divine sense scanned the three-entry courtyard of the city lord's mansion and found that there was no one else in the entire courtyard except the city lord, not even a single maid and servant. I wonder if it's because of the city lord's personality of liking to be alone, or is there something else?
Walking into the attic, the first floor is a vacant hall, surrounded by some strangely shaped boulders and several potted plants. Looking up, there is a spiral staircase leading to the second floor at the innermost part of the hall.
"This city lord is a strange person, a huge city lord's mansion lives alone, not to mention, even the place where the treasures are stored is weird, and he still grows drafts, hey......"
There didn't seem to be any danger inside, Yan Yiguang saw the furnishings of the so-called treasure place, muttered two sentences in his mouth, and strode into the hall with a big grin.
"Be careful!"
As soon as Yan Yiguang stepped into the hall on tiptoe, Yang Ning felt a strange feeling surging over his chest, and hurriedly wanted to stop Yan Yiguang.
But as soon as the words were spoken, I saw a layer of ripples in the hall like water ripples, and Yan Yiguang disappeared in an instant. And the ripples spread outward, instantly covering the entire layer.
"Not good! This is a formation, everyone get out of it! ”
Unexpectedly, the first floor of this small attic was actually arranged with a formation, and in the hall, those seemingly strange decorations were the eyes of this formation. Finding that something was wrong, Yang Ning shouted loudly for the first time, and at the same time, he kicked his feet, and his figure flew backwards at a lightning speed, wanting to rush out of this small attic.
However, no matter how fast he was, he didn't spread as fast as the ripples.
Yang Ning estimated that in an instant, he quickly regressed a distance of ten zhang, and it stands to reason that he should have been out of the range of the small attic, but when he stood firm, he found himself in a gray place, his eyesight was seriously blocked, and he couldn't see three feet away.
"Xiao Jin, you pay attention to the situation around you, and we will look for a few other people together. Yan Yiguang! Zhang Mingxuan! Xiao Jianshu! Huangshan pine! ”
Laying a layer of mana defense outside his body, Yang Ning's spiritual power was emitted to the farthest, and he gently instructed the 'Golden Devouring Weasel' on his shoulder, while carefully checking the surrounding situation, he shouted loudly to the other four people who entered the small attic together.
Slowly probing one zhang after another, for half an hour, Yang Ning checked the hundred zhang radius, and did not find any situation, nor did he encounter any of the other four, and there was no sound, and the surroundings were still gray.
When this small attic was observed outside, it occupied an area of no more than 20 zhang square, but now Yang Ning has explored hundreds of zhang, which has long exceeded the actual area of the attic, however, he has not walked out of the attic, this is not in line with common sense, is this formation weird?
"Woo ......"
Just as Yang Ning was a little confused, the 'Golden Weasel Devourer' whined on Yang Ning's shoulder, and pointed at his feet with a little finger, signaling Yang Ning to look down.
Following the direction of the 'Golden Weasel Eater', Yang Ning looked down and saw that there was a line of shallow footprints on the ground between them, and the traces were very new, as if they were left by him when he was investigating the formation just now.
"Is this a maze?"
Seeing the footprints, a thought appeared in Yang Ning's heart.
"Xiao Jin, you remember the route we are moving by, let's try again."
With a guess in his heart, Yang Ning wanted to confirm whether his guess was correct through practical actions. The attic is small and should be able to be identified quickly.
Sure enough, after a circle, they returned to the place where they had started. Yang Ning didn't give up, tried a few more times, and finally returned to the same place, they had been circling around the neighborhood all the time, and they hadn't gone far at all.
However, this maze seems to lack someone to preside over the urging, and lacks the means to attack the people who enter the formation, which only stimulates the effect of psychedelia.
"Bastard!"
Many explorations were in vain, Yang Ning was angry, and angrily punched over.
Yan Yiguang and the four of them were all in the formation, and Yang Ning didn't dare to use the Mixed Yuan Spirit Devouring Technique to devour the energy of this formation, for fear that he would also devour the mana of the people in the formation.
Although it was a casual punch, the fist still contained majestic energy, and the fist passed, and a long crack opened in the gray light along the way.
"Huh?"
The crack that was swept open was quickly filled with gray mist, but the sharp-eyed Yang Ning saw a black shadow at the end of the crack flickering before the crack disappeared, and it seemed to be one of the strange stones in the hall in his impression.
"Boom!"
"Xiao Jin, we seem to have found the eye of this formation."
Yang Ning let out a low snort, the spirit bloomed, and when he raised his hand, a punch was blasted out, and the majestic spiritual energy pierced through the surrounding gray, and the strange stone and black shadow in the hall were revealed again, and Yang Ning's figure quickly disappeared towards the position where the black shadow appeared.
This time, it seemed to be very smooth, but after a few breaths, Yang Ning came to the position where the strange stone was exposed.
Although it was still gray in front of him, he could see that there was a faint black shadow hidden in the gray where he could reach it with his hand in front of him.
"Hehe, since I've found you, can you continue to confuse me? Break it and you'll be fine. ”
Yang Ning grinned, the vast mana slowly converged on the right fist, Jin Weirui, a golden light flashed, and a miniature shrunken golden dragon appeared on the fist, although the golden dragon was small, it could contain a terrifying spiritual energy, exuding a domineering pressure, and the gray light near the right fist was also diluted.
"Huh!"
A violent roar came from Yang Ning's mouth, and his right fist carried the sound of breaking through the air, and fiercely punched the black shadow in the gray mist.
"Bang!"
The black shadow stone shook violently, and countless dust fell from the 'Boom', and the size was much smaller. But it was not shattered, and the gray space shook.
"Yo, I still listen to the hard ones. Xiao Jin, let's shoot together and break this broken stone. ”
Seeing that he couldn't break this formation with one punch, Yang Ning didn't want to waste too much time here, condensed mana here, and said to the 'Golden Weasel'.
"Bang!"
Dazzling in spirit, joining forces with the 'Golden Weasel Eater', the attack power of the two increased exponentially, and the Array Eye Stone could no longer withstand their attack, and the whole piece was shattered.
As soon as this array was broken, the gray space around them became a little thinner, and the restrictions on Yang Ning's vision became weaker, and they could see the scene a foot away.
At the same time, the formation was distorted again, and the ability to restrict their vision was weakened again. It seems that Yan Yiguang and the others have also found a flaw in the formation and began to break the eye of the formation.
"Hehe, Xiao Jin, I remember that there are a total of eight such strange decorations in this hall, and now Yan Yiguang and they have also discovered this, and they are all gradually cracking it, looking at the change in the formation just now, it is estimated that they have all found a place where the formation eye is. Then, there are only three left, and we continue to look for the next formation to break this maze in one fell swoop. ”
In just a quarter of an hour, the number of formation distortions appeared five times, which indicated that five formation eyes had been broken, and only three remained, as long as they were all cleared, this maze would be completely broken.
