It turned out that everyone had just encountered a situation similar to mine, and listening to the narration of others, I felt as if I had entered a world beyond reality.

I finally saw the opportunity, so I hurriedly asked, "Brother Zihua, what was going on just now, why did the creatures here become so huge?" ”

Hu Zihua said leisurely: "It's not that they have become bigger, but that we have become smaller." ”

I couldn't help but be stunned: "You, what does this mean?" ”

Hu Zihua said, "Brother Cheng, do you remember the stone house we entered before? ”

I nodded, "Of course, the old man lured us in and almost stoned us all to death in it, what's wrong?" ”

Hu Zihua said in a deep voice: "If I'm not mistaken, that stone house should be an eye!" ”

"This is a formation that shrinks the ground into inches, and once anyone enters the formation eye, they will be trapped in the formation and will not be able to escape."

"The person trapped in the formation will not feel anything abnormal in itself, but his body will shrink more than ten times unconsciously, so you will see that those insects and beasts have become behemoths."

Hu Zihua said lightly: "There is only one person who is proficient in this kind of shrinking the ground into an inch formation—"

"You mean, Dou family?"

Before I could react, Bai Ze came over first and said directly.

"Not bad."

Hu Zihua nodded: "The one who trapped us here must be the Dou family!" ”

After listening to Hu Zihua's analysis, I was very shocked, and after thinking about it carefully, I felt that Hu Zihua's analysis was indeed very reasonable.

The Dou family, that is, the gray family in the inner five halls, the end of the five immortals in the Kanto region, has always been low-key, day and night, active in the dark, unpredictable traces, unnoticed.

However, for the strength of the Dou family, no one dares to underestimate it, according to legend, the people of the Dou family are good at arranging formations, circle transportation, relocation, reclamation, some of the top immortals of the Dou family, and can even divinate the hexagrams that several other families can't divination, and calculate the true meaning of the end of the heavenly machine!

If it is the Dou family that traps us in the formation, then that is to say, the traitors of the Inner Five Halls who are in cahoots with the Southern Xinjiang Wizard Troupe, that is, the Dou family?

"Not necessarily."

In the face of my question, Hu Zihua did not give a positive answer: "Although there is no doubt that the formation was arranged by the Dou family, it may also be that the Dou family was being used, and it was not specifically aimed at us." ”

"In short, at present, the Dou family is the most suspicious, and we must be vigilant and strictly guard against the Dou family."

I asked again: "Brother Zihua, is there a way to crack this formation that shrinks the ground into inches?" ”

Hu Zihua shook his head: "This formation is extremely weird, unless there are people outside the formation to help, the people in it can't be cracked." ”

I couldn't help but get frustrated: "So, we're going to be trapped here?" ”

"Definitely,"

Hu Zihua explained: "Although this formation is difficult to crack, it can only last for one day, and as long as we wait until tomorrow morning, the formation will automatically lose its effect." ”

Hu Zihua's words gave us hope again, and after discussion, we decided to stay in this cave for the time being, and wait until tomorrow morning, when the formation is invalid, and then we will leave.

Although the cave was safe for the time being, everyone did not dare to sleep, and kept on their own feet, keeping full vigilance, for fear that some terrifying beasts would break in.

Outside the cave all night, the roars of all kinds of beasts and the rustling of giant insects crawling over the cave were incessant.

In the middle of the night, a giant scorpion even broke in, causing chaos.

Lonnie, Bai Ze, Hu Zihua and I went all out, holding weapons and calling for the scorpion, and after more than an hour of fierce fighting, the giant scorpion was cut off by us, one chelicerae, and its body was full of wounds, and then it crawled out of the cave.

And we were so exhausted that the group fell to the ground, gasping for air.

A scorpion alone has exhausted us, and if any more insects and beasts come in, we will have no strength to resist, and it is estimated that everyone will have to be reimbursed here.

Fortunately, the second half of the night was quite calm, there were no accidents, and we finally survived this difficult night.

A ray of sunlight shone in, and a glimmer of light appeared in the dark cavern, and the sun slowly rose, and the sky finally dawned.

I walked to the entrance of the cave and looked outside to make sure there was no danger before I turned back and beckoned to everyone.

"Let's all come out!"

When we walked out of the cave, we saw that the surrounding area was still a bare mountain, and nothing seemed to have changed.

Even Hu Zihua wasn't sure if the formation that trapped us had failed.

"Look, what is this?"

At this moment, Cortana, who was standing behind, suddenly pointed to something on the ground and shouted to us.

I hurriedly walked over and looked at Cortana's fingers, and sure enough, there was a dead scorpion on the ground.

The scorpion was about the thickness of a finger, and it had lost two left legs, one right leg, and a chelicerae that were used as weapons.

This is the same giant scorpion that almost wiped out our army in the middle of the night last night!

But now, this scorpion has become the size of a normal insect, that is to say, the formation that shrinks into inches has lost its effect!

"Alright, now we can get out of here."

After confirming that the formation had failed, I relieved myself, beckoned everyone, and continued on my way.

Turning over the mountain, all the way down, there was no danger on the way, and we finally succeeded in climbing the Seven Inch Mountain.

And after the incident of Sijiazhuang and Qicun Mountain, Hu Zihua and I also changed our views on each other.

Although Hu Zihua is cold and arrogant on the outside, he is actually kind and responsible in his heart, and he can calmly analyze the situation at critical moments and make the most favorable choices, making him a trustworthy partner.

As for Hu Zihua's attitude towards me, he also made it clear to me that he only thought I was lucky and incompetent, but now he has changed his previous opinion of me, and promised me that he will no longer be jealous of my relationship with Langnie.

I smiled and didn't say anything, a team, united and unselfish, that's what I'm most looking forward to seeing.

After going down the mountain, I hurriedly contacted Mrs. Hu and reported to him what happened in Qicun Mountain.

After listening to my story, Mrs. Hu pondered for a while without speaking, and finally spoke slowly.

"Cheng Yi, you guys come to the main hall first, I have something to tell you."

I also knew that finding the traitor in the Inner Five Halls, which was the most important thing at the moment, so I didn't rush to find the remaining fragments of the Soul Refining Pot, and after discussing with everyone, I decided to temporarily stop going south and return to the Five Halls' headquarters!
