Chapter 120: The Edge of the Enchantment
"Besides, now is not the time to argue about this, it's better to think about how to get out." Wang Qing continued to talk to himself, leaving no chance for Tian Jihong to interrupt his words. At this time, with the help of the effect of the escape talisman, the two of them were about to get out of the attack range of the crazy red-crowned stork.
"You also know that although the two of us have successfully escaped the encirclement and suppression of the beasts, there is no master around us who can take charge of it alone. If I encounter a powerful being like the red-crowned stork behind me, I can't think of any other way to help us escape, not to mention that there is probably still the enchantment activated by the ghost thousand shadows in advance, and I will have no clue how to crack it. ”
"And judging from the situation just now, there is no chance that the people left behind in the battlefield will survive. Although that ghost thousand shadows are now distracted and manipulate many spirit beasts and can't get out, in my opinion, it won't take much time to deal with the remaining remnants of the defeated generals with his strength. Now that the two of us are out of hiding, we may not attract his attention for a while, but if we encounter other obstacles in front of us, or if we make too much noise when breaking the barrier, we will inevitably invite more trouble. Although Wang Qing said that he looked like a thief, he was clear in his analysis, and it was natural to tell the difficulties that the two of them might encounter next.
Tian Jihong also ran wildly all the way after him, and nodded in agreement. He knew that now that the two of them had gotten rid of the various pursuers behind them, they could indeed barely breathe a sigh of relief, but the comfort at the moment was only temporary, as Wang Qing said, if it was really so easy to get rid of the current predicament, the former was afraid that he would have escaped with the help of the spell in his hand as early as when those few Bone Forging Realm masters clashed.
Now the two of them with low strength will indeed not attract the attention of the pursuers behind them in a short period of time, but once they start to fight with an existence like the red-crowned stork again, it is difficult for Tianjihong and Wang Qing to be sure that they can win the hope of escaping for the second time. Therefore, now the two of them did not have time to continue to delay, and after Wang Qing's exploration, the two locked a position on the left hand side away from the original battlefield and continued to escape.
Until now, Tian Jihong still hasn't been able to figure out how this Wang Qing sensed the existence of the enchantment in front of him, according to the latter, with the blessing of the escape talisman, the enchantment in this direction is less than five minutes away from the two of them, and it should be regarded as the fastest direction for the two to get out of danger. The skeptical Tian Jihong did not refute it, the most important thing for the two of them at this time is to trust each other, and the possibility of surviving may be improved if they take care of each other in case of danger.
Fortunately, Wang Qing's perception did not fail, and after a few minutes of wild running, the red-crowned stork behind him and the commotion of the beast tide in the distance had completely disappeared, followed by the gray-white enchantment that could be observed by the naked eye in front of him. Although Tian Jihong had seen the power of the enchantment constructed by such a magic circle when he was trapped in the basin before, the current scene was still an eye-opener for him.
I saw that the barrier with the waves flowing and the thin smoke constantly released around it was like a wall that went straight to the sky, more than a hundred meters away. Looking around to the left and right, the gray-white barrier took on a curved arc, and at the edge of it spread all the way to the depths of the dense forest at the end of the view. As for the height of the barrier, it may be an exaggeration to say that it touches the clouds, but as far as the scene in front of him is concerned, it is at least nearly twenty or thirty zhang above sea level, far exceeding the dense jungle beside him; With the means of Tianjihong and the others, it is obviously a fool's dream to cross the barrier from the top.
Judging from Tian Jihong's knowledge, although he could feel that the barrier in front of him exuding a forest aura should not be as powerful as the magic circle in the illusion he encountered in the basin before, at most it was stronger than the trapped beast diagram cast by Na Molu, but it was the first time in his life that he had seen such a huge range of enchantments. According to his own calculations, the area covered by this barrier was at least one or twenty miles long and wide.
And judging from the current situation, most of the enchantments left by this Ten Thousand Bone Gate are not something that can be used by a single formation. Tian Jihong wasn't sure if there was a formation in the martial realm that could cover a radius of tens of hectares, but even if there was such a terrifying formation, it would never be just the strength of the barrier in front of him. Therefore, the only explanation is that hundreds of years ago, the Ten Thousand Bones Gate arranged more than one magic circle in this vast area, and took this entire area as its own.
And with such many magic circles colluding with each other, it is difficult for Tian Jihong to realize the idea of relying on the wooden token in his hand to cross the enchantment like he did before to crack the trapped beast map. In fact, long before the two of them approached the enchantment, Tian Jihong had already taken advantage of Wang Qing's lack of attention on the side, and kept trying to urge the token in his sleeve to guide the direction of progress, but the latter did not seem to have a way to crack the enchantment constructed by the chain formation; In addition, the scope of this enchantment is too large, and it is difficult for Tianjihong to even determine the geometry of the area covered by the formation in such a range, so that even if he has a token in his hand, it is difficult to distinguish the path to break the formation.
Therefore, the only way to do this is to tell Wang Qing that only by relying on brute force to break the barrier can you successfully escape. However, when the two of them finally arrived at the edge of the enchantment, they realized that even if the enchantment in front of them was not good, it still had the strength of the trapped beast diagram that Mo Lu had cast before.
When Tian Jihong tried to swing his sword and slash towards the enchantment, he was shocked to realize that the hazy mist that spread out actually had the effect of eroding spiritual power. He had just run the exercises, and the spiritual power fluctuations released through the sword blade, when he came into contact with the white smoke of the forest, it was as if he had been peeled off alive.
Tian Jihong only felt that the front end of the sword was like being in a strong acid, and after a palpitating "zizi" sound, the eroded spiritual power fluctuations around the sword body turned into bursts of foul-smelling smoke and rushed towards the two, causing Tian Jihong and Wang Qing to retreat again and again. Fortunately, the sword itself was made of special material, and it was obtained from the masters of the Mo Lu clan before, so it was not affected by the corrosive mist, but obviously without the urging of spiritual power, it was not enough to help the two break through the barrier in front of them.
Seeing that Tian Jihong beside him also had a solemn expression, Wang Qing took the lead in breaking the deadlock: "I'm afraid that the little brother has also seen it, right?" Does this scene sound familiar? ”
Tian Jihong didn't understand the other party's meaning at first, but when he suddenly recalled the methods used by Ghost Thousand Shadows before, he finally understood. Judging from the cursed sound and dark words spell cast by the ghost thousand shadows, its effect is similar to the barrier left by the Ten Thousand Bones Gate in front of him. This further shows that the ghost Thousand Shadows have most likely obtained part of the inheritance of the Ten Thousand Bone Gate, so they can successfully use the cultivation of the Bone Forging Realm to successfully promote the enchantment in such a huge range.
"Little brother doesn't need to waste his efforts anymore, I'm afraid this enchantment was laid down by that ghost Qianying early to target the masters who are close to his cultivation, even if a monk with the strength of the Bone Forging Realm comes, I am afraid it will take a lot of time to break this enchantment." Wang Qing also had no choice but to make his words clear, and both of them already understood that if there were no other special means, just with the current strength of the two of them, let alone breaking the enchantment, even if they touched the fog in front of them, I am afraid they would all end up dead.
And then more troublesome things followed. Before the two of them could discuss a feasible solution to the current predicament, Tian Jihong, who had always had a keen perception, suddenly felt a nervous tension, and a sense of crisis no less than that brought to him by the red-crowned stork before came to his heart. At the same time, Wang Qing, who had a soul sense perception beside him, also realized that the situation had changed, and the two of them turned around and looked at the dense forest behind them.
At the same time, the two of them also flashed, and hurriedly hid in the depths of the dense forest when they came. Just after the two of them hid their bodies in the branches of a towering giant tree, they saw a huge figure wrapped in black mist suddenly burst out from the shadows of the treetops behind them. Looking at the eight hideous spider legs that stretched out under the black mist, the two of them immediately realized that this must be the demon spider that Wang Qing had been worried about before.
Tian Jihong had already heard Wang Qing mention that the huge demon spider in front of him, which was full of two or three people, was afraid that it would have more than a hundred years of cultivation, but due to the limitation of biological cultivation talent, its true strength would not exceed Wang Qing's cultivation in the Kaiyuan Realm. This is also the reason why the other party failed to lock the position of the two of them while they were aware of their traces in advance.
However, such an evil thing that seemed to have a terrifying skin was empty, but it had become a terrifying existence that was notorious in the martial arts world, and even the monks of the Bone Forging Realm could not avoid. It is only in real battle that its opponent can feel the trickiness of this demon spider.
Just the poisonous mist surrounding the demonic spider, even if it was just a trace of inhalation in the body, was enough to easily overturn the cultivation into a powerful existence far above it. Needless to say, the demonic spider webs that everyone encountered before, if it weren't for the thunder fire bead held by the Rokkakuno being the nemesis of this poisonous spider, even with Tong Bo's cultivation before, he would not be able to open a way out of the dense spider web array; In addition, its entire body was covered with deadly sharp weapons, from its sharp eight spider legs, to the mouthparts that spewed venom on the top of its head, and the physical strength of the spirit beasts far beyond the Kaiyuan Realm, all of which made it a ruthless machine that harvested life.
As Wang Qing said, the most effective way to deal with the demon poison spider is to rely on the suppression of soul consciousness, which is also the weakness of the demon poison spider. The truly perfect creatures in the world basically do not exist, and the powerful body of the demon poison spider and the melee combat strength far beyond its own cultivation are destined to its fragile soul will, which is also very easy to be manipulated by those cult monks, thus becoming the latter's killing weapon. When facing the Demon Poison Spider, ordinary monks often interfere with the opponent's mind through their powerful soul sense, and only after the opponent is completely unconscious and unable to move does they dare to approach the body of the Demon Poison Spider and take it down.
