Volume 1: Born to be a Hero Chapter 7: Back to the Beginning
After a short period of shock and panic, He Yi and Zhang Li quickly calmed down. Now that the situation has happened, it is futile to worry about it, and it is important to come up with a solution to deal with it as soon as possible.
"What now?" Zhang Qi looked a little impatient.
If it was really this formation, deliberately confusing their perception, then unless they found the eye of this formation, no matter what, they would not be able to go out.
He Yi stared at the chaotic scene in front of him, and couldn't think of any good way for a while.
The illusions in the Great Array change every day in the evening, which means that the surrounding scenes they see are completely different every day.
Although they can distinguish the authenticity of things around them by throwing stones, they cannot accurately identify the direction.
That's the reason why you go around and around, but you end up back where you are.
Of course, these problems are not a big deal. After finding the pattern of the changes in the Great Array, they only need to mark the surroundings in advance when the evening comes.
The big question is...... Food.
This is the most urgent issue.
If they couldn't find food, he and Zhang Li would starve to death in the snowfield for two days at most.
"There is no good way, but there is a bad way!" He Yi glanced at Zhang Li, took out two torches from the fire, threw one of them to Zhang Li, and ran towards the place where the northern fire dragon rose.
"What are you going to do? Hey, hey, come back! Are you so immediate?" Zhang Li looked at He Yi who was getting farther and farther away, and hesitated in his heart.
It seems that He Yi is obviously heading for the place where the flames appeared, which is the place where the cultivators and the snow beast Xuanming fought at the beginning!
Take 10,000 steps back, even if the fire dragon and the snow beast are just illusory illusions, what if you encounter a cultivator or a surviving officer?
Isn't that a sheep in the mouth of a tiger?
He Yi ignored Zhang Qi's shout, and his figure quickly disappeared into the dark night, leaving only a jumping red point of light, which was about to disappear.
Zhang Qi lingered in place for a long time, and finally did not want to endure the torment of loneliness again, so he shouted: "Wait for me!" and rushed to follow.
............
"Brother, do you really want to go back to that place?" Zhang Li was very puzzled.
He Yi said before that there was a bad method, and I think it was related to the place where the battle took place.
He didn't want to risk his life, but it was better than being on standby.
The changes in the Great Array continued, and the fire in the sky was dazzling, guiding them in the direction, and they didn't have to worry about getting lost again.
He Yi stretched out a finger while running, and said, "First, food." I don't want to starve to death, there are still a few cartloads of meat left in that place, and if we can find it, we won't have to worry about food for at least three months. And the second..."
He Yi stretched out another finger, revealing an unfathomable expression, and said, "Don't you think it's strange? Why did we never see the slightest illusion appear when we came?"
When Zhang Li heard this, he was suddenly stunned.
Why didn't there be this great array and illusion when I came, but now it suddenly has it?
If He Yi hadn't taken the initiative to talk about it, he would have almost forgotten about it.
Zhang Li is not an elm head, he was reminded by He Yi, and quickly figured out a little way.
"Are you saying that the road we took when we entered the snowfield is the gate of this mirage array? Those officers and non-commissioned officers will not be confused by illusions because they are walking along this road!" Zhang Li's eyes just showed a flash of joy, and then it dimmed again, and said in a muffled voice: "It's been a month, and even if those people really knew, I'm afraid they would have left here a long time ago." ”
"No, probably not, based on what I know about cultivators, they will never allow the news of the snow beast hunting to be spread. He Yi shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter if they leave, anyway, the most important thing at the moment is food, first make sure that we won't starve to death, and then think of other ways." ”
The illusion of the Mirage Great Array is attached to reality, and it is impossible to create something out of nothing, which He Yi can be sure.
Therefore, the illusion of the snow beast fighting the fire dragon must have been formed at the previous battle site.
He wasn't sure when the illusion would go away, so he could only try to get back to where he was before the illusion was gone, or they would lose their way if the fog lifted.
......
After a day of starry nights, the two of them finally found the traces of the previous avalanche before the illusion disappeared, and went up the road, climbed over a mountain, and came to the place where the cultivators fought with the snow beasts.
The monks and snow beasts were long gone, leaving only the scorched earth and the corpses of more than a hundred frozen prisoners.
There was a great war, the snow-capped mountains were leveled, the ground was ruined, and there were destroyed and broken wood and stones everywhere, like the end of the world.
He Yi stood on the edge of the ruins, and he could still feel a strong aftermath, which made people's hearts palpitate.
The battle between the monk and the snow beast was not known to be won or lost, and even if it ended in the monk's victory, it must have cost a great price.
It's only been ten years, and it's only been ten years since the cultivation method was introduced into the world, and these monks who came to encircle and suppress the snow beasts have already cultivated to such a realm, which shows how terrifying their qualifications and talents are!
"Why bother?" He Yi sighed.
He found a familiar face in a pile of corpses, the one who sacrificed the blood of hundreds of prisoners that day.
He was not killed by the Snow Beast, but by a sharp golden sword piercing through his chest, and died at the hands of his own people.
Yuan Zhen's eyes were wide open, his dry hands pinched the neck of another monk, and there was still a trace of unwillingness in his lost pupils, and he didn't bat at death.
"Life has reached its peak, why try to go further?" He Yi stared at all this in front of him, he really couldn't understand.
With this true Tao of the source, he can almost walk sideways in the world, not only him, but also the rest of the monks in the same group.
They can build the avenue, they have an endless lifespan, they can call the wind and rain, swallow the clouds and spit out the fog.
They have a respected status, and they should have been longed for and worshiped by the world, but because of their own delusions, they cut everything off with their own hands.
"Why bother..."He Yi pulled out the long sword that pierced Yuan Zhen's chest, and weighed it in his hand, which was quite handy.
This is supposed to be a magic weapon, and the sword is engraved with several very simple sigils, which looks mysterious and mysterious.
"Slay the demon!" He Yi lightly called out the two words engraved on the hilt of the sword, the name of the sword was to slay the demon, but it pierced into the person's chest, which was very ironic.
Since there is a phenomenon of infighting, it must have been the cultivator's side that gained the upper hand in the course of the battle... As for the snow beast, since there is no corpse, it should not have been killed by the cultivators, and may have fled deeper into the snow field. He Yi thought to himself.
But if this is really the case, then what is the reason for the infighting among these cultivators?
"Brother He, come here!"
Not far away, there was a shout from the snow hill, and his voice was full of excitement.
Under a dumped carriage, He Yi and Zhang Li dragged out a large black and red box with a fishy smell at the same time, and the terrifying lines on it made of dried blood made people couldn't help but tingle their scalps.
At this moment, the Immortal Pill hanging on He Yi's neck and the bones trembled at the same time, especially the black Immortal Pill, which kept beating in He Yi's chest, like a weak heart.
"Be honest with me! Otherwise, I will seal you forever in this dead snowfield, so that you will never see the light of day!" He Yi squeezed the two beads on the pendant tightly through his clothes.
It seemed to understand He Yi's words, and after a slight tremor, the Stygian Pill finally quieted down.
"What are you talking about?" Zhang Qi said with a strange face, for some reason, his eyes were bloodshot and looked a little hideous.
He Yi shook his head, and together with Zhang Li, he opened the box, and there was a dragon-shaped jade pendant with a color like blood and crystal clear lying inside!
Ambiguous Dragon!
At the moment when he saw this piece of red dragon, Zhang Li's eyes instantly turned blood-red, full of greed and ferocity, he secretly glanced at He Yi beside him, and his expression was like a beast protecting food.
"Fuck off!
After saying that, Zhang Li quickly reached out and grabbed the piece of jade, and with the other hand, he quickly changed his palm and hit He Yi's chest!
Bang!
He Yi's reaction was also fast, and he hurriedly raised his hand to fight with Zhang Li, but he was still shocked back by the fierce attack three or four steps.
"What are you crazy about!" He Yi shook his numb arm and asked sharply.
This guy is going to die!
"This is what I discovered first, it's mine!" Zhang Li held Long Bi in one hand, like a beast about to go berserk, panting sullenly while staring at He Yi.
In those eyes, there seemed to be a complete annihilation of human reason, and all that was left was endless bestiality.
He Yi looked at Zhang Li, and his mood gradually became sad.
He thought that in this dead and silent snowfield, after experiencing these tribulations, the two could put aside their previous grievances and become companions of each other, but now it seems that he still overestimated each other's consciousness.
"If you want to take it, do I have a shot to snatch it from you?" He Yi glanced at Zhang Qi expressionlessly, and said with hatred: "You let me down too much!"
He didn't want to fight Zhang Qi, he was already short of food, and if he consumed his physical strength for no reason, neither of them would survive.
After speaking, He Yi turned around and left.
You've let me down so much!
This sentence drilled into Zhang Li's ears, and it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and he suddenly shook his spirit, and his eyes regained a little clarity.
"Oh my God, what did I just do? I... I... I haven't cultivated the truth, what's the use of asking for this thing..."Zhang Li looked down at his hands, and he felt extremely guilty in his heart.
He looked at He Yi's back as he left, and opened his mouth to say something, but the words were like a fishbone stuck in his throat, and he couldn't spit it out no matter what.
......
He Yi searched all over the neighborhood, but there was nothing else to find, and the carriages that originally stored the beast meat were also cleaned up early, leaving only the remains of several carriages.
This made He Yi very desperate.
The current Northern Wilderness Snow Field was sealed by the Mirage Great Array, and it was impossible to get out in a short period of time, and without food supplies, it would be starved to death in less than three days.
For a while, He Yi had no choice but to continue searching around.
The casualties of the monks did not seem to be large, a few people, and the magic weapons and treasures on their bodies were also looted early, but the piece of the red dragon was not taken away for some reason.
At the bottom of a dwarf tree hole, He Yi was very surprised to find a fairly complete unicorn strain, because without the nourishment of the snow beast essence, the stems and leaves of the unicorn strain began to rot, and the only remaining unicorn jade fruit on it also became dry and shriveled.
Even so, He Yi still took it down as if he had found a treasure.
Although it is a little unsatisfactory, it is always better than nothing.
He has personally experienced the domineering medicinal properties of the Qilin Jade Fruit, it is a great tonic, although it has not yet reached the effect of washing the marrow, but just by reversing the five elements and avoiding the water line, it is enough to be regarded as a top-level treasure.
After a little deliberation, He Yi decided to leave here.
Although there is a great opportunity in the depths of the Northern Wilderness, it is also accompanied by a huge risk, and he finally got out of prison alive, and he doesn't want to put himself in a crisis again so soon.
There are some things that you have to think carefully about before you act.
