Chapter Ninety-Seven: Formations

When Xiao Hei followed Shen Shi in the past, he had always been lazy, except for the few friends who had the closest relationship with Shen Shi on weekdays, and the countless disciples of the Lingxiao Sect on Jinhong Mountain, he was afraid that he couldn't remember a few faces. It's just that when he was under the soul abyss that day, all kinds of thrilling and almost dead were alive, which was really impressive, and Hou Sheng had appeared on the top of that lonely peak.

Although Xiao Hei didn't really set foot on that lonely peak, but it stayed by the side of the Ancient Yin Dragon under the Soul Suppression Abyss, but it saw Hou Sheng's face from the strange light cluster on the stone wall, so Xiao Hei recognized this person at first sight, and he was also taken aback for a while.

After the shock, it soon discovered Hou Sheng's anomaly, that day on the lonely peak under the soul abyss, Hou Sheng's eyes had been lit with the unique ghost fire of ghosts, but at this moment, Hou Sheng's eyes looked painful, frightened, desperate and dazed, all kinds of emotions seemed to be mixed together, and the chaos was extreme, but there was no ghost fire that was the most obvious among ghosts. And if he is still a ghost, Hou Sheng's body at this moment is clearly flesh and blood, not only is it very different from ghosts such as skeletons and yin spirits, even if it is a ghost thing like a zombie that is barely close in appearance, it looks like a huge gap.

But if Hou Sheng is not a ghost, there is a strange problem here, that is, it is obvious that this person is staying in this large group of ghost things, and the time is by no means short, but there are so many ghost things all around, but none of the ghosts have seen any signs of trying to attack him. And as we all know, almost all ghosts have an almost instinctive desire for the flesh and blood of living creatures, including living people, and it is simply unimaginable for this large group of ghosts to surround a living person without attacking it.

But now this unbelievable thing is happening right in front of me.

Of course, it is impossible for Xiao Hei's pig to really think through all these things in an instant like a human being, but out of instinctive reaction, it also sees that the scene in front of it is very strange, revealing an indescribable strange aura.

After being surprised, Xiao Hei reacted quickly, it didn't like this feeling very much, and it didn't like this thing that was entangled with those ghosts, so Xiao Hei directly looked at Hou Sheng, who was holding his head and trembling, and bared his teeth and let out a low roar with strong hostility.

Xiao Hei opened his mouth to speak, and a large group of wild boar monsters behind him suddenly roared, screaming one after another, and each pig's expression showed obvious hostility, and slowly surrounded him from several directions.

Hou Sheng, who was huddled on the ground and trembling in the pile of corpses, seemed to feel something, raised his head and looked around, after seeing the large group of menacing wild boar monsters that gradually surrounded him, he was obviously stunned for a moment, and seemed to be a little confused about the situation in front of him, but soon the light in his eyes dimmed again, and he fell back into a strange chaos, but perhaps out of an instinctive reaction to the danger around him, Hou Sheng suddenly jumped up from the ground, shouted, turned around and ran.

When he jumped up from the ground, the pigs were startled, and even many strong and fierce wild boars suddenly made an attack posture, but before any wild boar could react, he saw this strange "human" turn around and run away, and the speed was extremely fast, even surpassing ordinary demon beasts.

Xiao Hei was also frightened, and after reacting, he was immediately furious, and chased after him with a roar, and a large group of wild boars immediately followed with a roar, letting go of his footsteps and chasing after Na Hou Sheng.

It's just that this Hou Sheng looks a little wrong and not very normal, but in this strange deep mountain and old forest, his speed is getting faster and faster, and many wild boars have been chasing him for a long time, but instead of catching up with him, Hou Sheng has gradually opened up the distance, that is, only Xiao Hei's body speed has been much faster than before since the soul abyss came out, which can be chased after without being left behind, but it can't get closer to Hou Sheng.

Speaking of which, this is the first time that Xiao Hei's speed has met an opponent after coming to this mountain forest, so he chased back and forth and ran wildly in the forest, and it didn't take long for them to stay away from the dense jungle where they had been fighting, and although the large herd of wild boars was a little slower, they were still chasing after them all the way.

I don't know how long I ran like this, and suddenly the terrain before and after was paused, but I came to the foot of a mountain, and Hou Sheng just ran wildly with all his heart, and rushed straight up the mountain, Xiao Hei chased after him, and when he was about to rush to this mountain, suddenly, a low beast roar came from an unknown place on this mountain.

The beast's roar was low and powerful, and although it sounded a little distant, there was an invisible power hidden in its tone, which made people's hearts throb. Xiao Hei was stunned for a moment, subconsciously stopped, looked up at the mountain, and after a while, a large group of wild boars also ran over from the woods behind him and stopped beside Xiao Hei.

Xiao Hei looked at it for a while, and then turned his head to look at the surrounding terrain, but found that he had chased all the way, and he had unconsciously run to the edge of the vast area of dozens of mountains, in other words, when he led a herd of pigs to lay down this territory, the land boundary did not exceed this peak.

Because since ancient times, all the pigs have lived in the deep mountains and old forests of Gaoling Mountain, almost between these dozens of mountains and forests, and this area is large enough to accommodate all the wild boar monsters to survive, so in the past, no wild boar has ever offended or stepped on the mountain outside this territory.

At this time, perhaps because there were so many wild boar demon beasts suddenly gathered at the foot of the mountain, and not all of them showed good intentions, which seemed to anger the mysterious demon beasts on this mountain peak, and a low roar came from the high mountain again, but this time the beast roar was a little angry, and the tone was a lot higher, and it seemed to be a little bit of murderous intent.

"Bang Bang ......" several voices suddenly sounded behind him, Xiao Hei looked back, but found that there were a few wild boars that could not resist the ferocity in the roar of the beast, and their bodies trembled and lay on the ground, and the rest of the wild boars were more or less affected, it seemed that on this mountain peak was a fierce monster beast that surpassed all the enemies they had encountered before, and under the fierce power, just a roar could scare these wild boar monsters into paralysis.

This may already be the suppressive power of the natural level, Xiao Hei stood in front of the group of pigs, looking at this mountain peak with unkind eyes, but after hesitating for a while, it finally did not force it, but after muttering a few words in a low voice, it turned back and retreated to the original forest.

Many wild boars looked obviously relieved, and hurriedly followed, seeing that they were all avoiding this peak, and after the figures of these wild boar monsters gradually disappeared and disappeared into the forest, calm regained on the mountain peak, and no more beast roars came out, everything was as if nothing had happened.

And Hou Sheng, who had just rushed to the peak, was completely gone at the moment, and he didn't know where he was.

※※※

Looking at the mountain boar demon beast that died tragically in front of him, Shen Shi's brows furrowed, and a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, but he didn't show any other signs of being too weak, and he didn't turn around and not look at it, but after observing the surrounding environment, he walked up slowly.

The boar was nailed to the trunk of the tree and had already died, and the blood was all over the ground, staining a large area of red, and the death was very miserable. Shen Shi walked to the side of the demon beast, his eyes looked up and down sharply, and after a while, his gaze froze, but it fell on the shocking wound in the belly of the boar's corpse, as if he had found something.

He slowly squatted down in front of the boar, and the strong bloody smell was about to vomit, but his face did not change, perhaps since he was a teenager, he had been accustomed to seeing the scene of bloodshed and slaughter, so that he was too much more accustomed to this scene of death than ordinary people.

Because of the wound of excessive blood loss, the pork showed a strange white color, which looked a little creepy, coupled with the shocking disembowelment wound and the wound inside, it was really uncomfortable, but after Shen Shi looked at it for a while, he suddenly reached over and gently pulled the skin and flesh of the boar to the side.

The light fell from behind him and shone on the boar's body, and a black pentagonal array more than two inches wide was impressively engraved on the boar's flesh and blood, reflecting in Shen Shi's eyes.

Shen Shi's brows furrowed even tighter, and he looked at this strange formation intently, it didn't seem to be particularly complicated, only less than ten lines, but there were many twists and turns, and at a glance, it seemed to be somewhat similar to the rune of the rune, but Shen Shi had practiced the way of the rune for many years, but he could see at a glance that this formation had nothing to do with the rune at all, but it seemed like another strange formation flow.

The way of the formation also has a long history, and it is said that as early as the ancient times, there were ancient formations handed down, and the mysteries were unpredictable, and there were all kinds of incredible effects. Under the vicissitudes of hundreds of thousands of years, the way of the formation has risen and fallen, and has been passed down to this day, but it has been carried forward in the human cultivation world and has become a prominent science.

Shen Shi is not too unfamiliar with the formation method, half of it is because there is a rune formation in the talisman he has practiced since he was a child, which is a small branch of the formation that is extremely unpopular, and the other half is because Zhong Qingzhu worships under the Lingxiao Sect Formation Hall, and he can be regarded as having some contact on weekdays, although they are all some rough skins, but he can still recognize some things.

This black pentagonal formation looks like a very rough small magic circle, what the function is Shen Shi can't determine for a while, but it will be used on the body of the boar, and the death of the boar is so weird and tragic, it is obviously not a righteous thing.

After Shen Shi looked at it for a while, he slowly stood up, and after a moment of silence, a trace of worry flashed on his face, and then he walked over here and continued to walk forward.

However, just as he was worried about something in his heart but things just came, in the next two days of travel, he actually found a similar scene on the other two mountains in this mountain forest, the same formation, the same location, and the dead demon beasts turned out to be all wild boar demon beasts.

The first time it can be said to be a coincidence, but one after another, I can't say that it was a coincidence.

However, why are all the dead monsters pig demons?

Who could have done all this weird thing?

When Shen Shi left the carcass of the third wild boar at dusk, he looked at the mountains and forests in front of him, thinking silently in his heart, with a trace of inexplicable doubts and worries.

And in the afterglow of the setting sun, the mountains in front of this mountain forest are undulating, and beyond the top of the mountain, it seems to be the highest mountain in the nearby mountain forest.

The night looks like it's coming.
