Chapter 70: Dark Shadows
In the barren mountains in the northern region, before the Tianyuan Sect and his party could react, they were trapped in the formation.
"My lord, I can't get out!" a wind-resisting leopard ran over and knelt down in front of the Moyu Lion King.
"King, I can't get out of it, and a few brothers want to break through by force, but they all turn into a puddle of bloody mud!" Another thunder eagle quickly fell, and announced to the Moyu Lion King.
After confirming that it was besieged, the Moyu Lion King had already landed on the ground, and after placing everyone in place, he rushed in the direction he came from, but unfortunately, with his cultivation at the peak of the Dan period, he couldn't crack this big array.
After sending the war beast to find out all the other directions and make sure that there was no way out, the Moyu Lion King was silent.
"This time it was the king's negligence. The Moyu Lion King looked at Yun Wuyi and the others and said.
"The lion king should not blame himself, for the sake of today's plan, he should first think of a strategy to break the formation. Yun Wuyi knew that it was useless to say more now, so he arched his hand and replied.
The group immediately dispersed and probed towards the eight solitary peaks around them.
Jiang Ziyan and Xiao Lingyu came to a lonely peak, and when they looked up, the entire lonely peak could not be seen in the dark night, only the ghostly light on the peak was constantly flickering, which made people uneasy.
"There is a forbidden mountain on this mountain, and you can't climb it. ”
Jiang Ziyan tried to climb, but as soon as she stepped on her feet, she felt a force flowing through her, making her weak and almost falling.
Signaling Xiao Lingyu to step back, Jiang Ziyan took a deep breath, and a fire trick hit the mountain wall.
The raging fire was quickly extinguished, and Jiang Ziyan stepped forward to check the place where he was hit by the magic technique, and found nothing unusual except for the charred black.
"Strange, is this just a trapped formation, not lethal?" Jiang Ziyan whispered a little suspiciously.
"Ginger... Senior Sister Jiang!" Xiao Lingyu suddenly spoke not far away, her voice trembling a little.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Ziyan turned around and looked at her suspiciously.
"You've got something behind your back!"
Boom!
Jiang Ziyan reacted extremely quickly, and as soon as Xiao Lingyu's words fell, he had already pulled out his sword, turned around and slashed towards the back, and at the same time quickly retreated with a cushion of his toes.
But in the process of retreating, Jiang Ziyan didn't see any enemies.
"What about the enemy?" After landing on the ground, Jiang Ziyan immediately became vigilant, and at the same time used his body to protect Xiao Lingyu behind him.
"Also... It's still behind you!" Xiao Lingyu's voice was also a little incredulous, and she spoke again.
Hearing this, Jiang Ziyan also felt a chill in her body, what could she have been following without her noticing?
"Golden Spirit Cover!"
Quickly raising his hands and pinching a spell, Jiang Ziyan's body began to glow with golden light, and then the golden light skyrocketed, forming a hood that repelled all objects within a few zhang except for her and Xiao Lingyu.
At the same time, Jiang Ziyan was also carefully sensing the surrounding situation, but still didn't find anything.
Seeing that Jiang Ziyan was about to continue attacking the surroundings, Xiao Lingyu hurriedly interrupted her: "Senior Sister Jiang, wait! The thing behind you is still there, it seems to have moved, but..."
Cautiously walking behind Jiang Ziyan, Xiao Lingyu first slapped the air behind Jiang Ziyan with a palm, and then reached out and touched it, and his expression suddenly became strange.
"Sister Lingyu, what's going on?" Jiang Ziyan was a little confused by her series of movements, and asked.
"Senior Sister Jiang, can't you see it? There is a shadow behind you that looks exactly like you, but she is crying. Xiao Lingyu hurriedly described it.
Hearing this, Jiang Ziyan turned his head to look behind him, and observed through his physical body through inward looking, but still didn't find any shadow.
"I can't see that. In desperation, Jiang Ziyan shook his head.
Xiao Lingyu thought for a moment, and then asked Jiang Ziyan to stand in place, don't move, she tried to attack the black shadow to see how it was.
Seeing Jiang Ziyan nodding, Xiao Lingyu took a few steps back, concentrated, and casually used a water trick to hit Jiang Ziyan's back.
I saw that the water trick shot out, directly through the black shadow, and landed on the lone peak behind it, as if it had not caused any damage.
"No, Senior Sister Jiang, the shadow behind you seems to be immune to attacks, and my tactics have passed through directly. Xiao Lingyu walked up to Jiang Ziyan and said distressedly.
Jiang Ziyan frowned, and just as he was about to speak, he heard a voice coming from afar.
"What are you doing! Go away!"
The two looked at each other, nodded, and quickly ran in that direction.
When the two of them came to the scene of the incident, there were already a lot of war beasts gathered here, and Yun Wuyi also rushed over.
When he arrived at the scene, Jiang Ziyan could finally see that most of the war beasts here had a black shadow behind them.
In front of him, a wind-resisting leopard was pressed to the ground by other war beasts, it was the one who had reported the situation to the Moyu Lion King before, and on the other side was a multi-eyed ape, but its right arm was no longer known where.
At this time, the Wind Leopard's eyes were scarlet, the tongue in his mouth hung down unnaturally, saliva continued to drip down, and his mouth was also making a roaring sound.
After understanding the situation, Jiang Ziyan learned that it turned out that this Wind Leopard had originally come out with the multi-eyed ape to find a way out, but suddenly launched an attack, sneaked up on his partner, and tore the multi-eyed ape's arm to pieces.
"Senior Sister Jiang, have you discovered anything?" Yun Wuyi walked up to Jiang Ziyan and asked.
"No, those lonely peaks are all prohibited, and the attack is ineffective. Senior Brother Yun, is this ghost thing behind you?" Jiang Ziyan briefly explained his information, and then looked behind Yun Wuyi and said.
Nodding helplessly, Yun Wuyi said: "Well, I also learned about it just now after being reminded by others, and I also tried to attack with spells, but unfortunately it didn't work." ”
"Me too, I don't know how it came to be, but I haven't found any harm so far. Jiang Ziyan subconsciously looked behind him, but still didn't see anything, so he walked towards the wind leopard.
"There is no shadow behind this Wind Leopard, and it seems that its current state has nothing to do with this thing. ”
"No, it does!"
As soon as Jiang Ziyan's words fell, the multi-eyed ape gasped and answered, the injury just now still made it feel unbearable pain.
Seeing that the eyes around him were focused on him, the multi-eyed ape didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "The old leopard and I just left the lion king, and your shadow appeared behind it after a few steps, but the two of us pondered for a long time, and we didn't find anything, so we didn't care about it." Later, I don't know when, the shadow disappeared, and it became like this. ”
"Hasn't anything changed in between?" Yun Wuyi asked.
The multi-eyed ape scratched his head with his only remaining hand, thought about it carefully, and said, "It seems that nothing has changed... No! I remembered, once I noticed that the shadow was a little closer to the old leopard, and I specially warned it. ”
"Could it be..."
Jiang Ziyan lowered his head and thought for a while, and decided to take a look at the situation of the Wind Leopard first, and immediately walked to the Wind Leopard and pinched a trick.
"Tranquility Mantra. ”
Jiang Ziyan's hand glowed with a refreshing blue light, and gently pressed on the head of the Wind Leopard, but after a few breaths, he still didn't see any improvement in the Wind Leopard.
"Senior Sister Jiang, the black shadow behind you just took a step forward!"
Suddenly, Xiao Lingyu's surprised voice came from behind, and some sharp-eyed war beasts also said that they had seen it too.
Yun Wuyi dodged behind Jiang Ziyan, stared at the black shadow behind her, observed it for a while and said, "That's right, this shadow was about four steps away from you before, but now it's only three steps." ”
Jiang Ziyan turned around and was about to reply, when he suddenly saw a surprising scene, and immediately looked behind Xiao Lingyu.
Yun Wuyi and some war beasts that reacted quickly also followed Jiang Ziyan's gaze, and then they all stopped making a sound, their expressions solemn.
"You... What are you all looking at me for?" Xiao Lingyu was a little hairy when she was stared at by so many people, and asked.
"Senior Sister Xiao, did you feel anything just now?" Yun Wuyi walked to Xiao Lingyu's side, looked at Xiao Lingyu's back and asked.
Xiao Lingyu had almost guessed what was going on, thought for a moment and said, "I don't feel anything special... Senior Brother Yun, is that kind of shadow also behind me?"
"Well, about four steps away from you, it appeared out of thin air, first a small black dot, and then gradually transformed into a human form, the height and clothing were the same, the only difference was that the face was sad and the tears flowed. Seeing that Xiao Lingyu was quite calm, Yun Wuyi said what he saw.
After listening to this, Xiao Lingyu nodded silently, not too panicked.
Jiang Ziyan didn't speak beside him, and suddenly asked around, "What did you guys with black shadows do before?"
The surrounding war beasts suddenly became noisy, and they all talked about their previous experiences.
"I didn't do anything, I just tried to see if I could crack here. ”
"Yes, I also punched that mountain, tsk, that stone, thief hard!"
"But isn't it, I went to test a tactic I learned recently, that power, that brilliance, but powerful and gorgeous, but unfortunately it's still useless..."
Seeing the honest war beasts around him talking nonsense, the originally dignified atmosphere became a little wrong, Jiang Ziyan was also a little crying and laughing, but the mood was indeed a little lighter.
"Well, guys, I probably know what you've done. I'm going to do an experiment, so I'm going to ask you to stare at the dark shadow behind me. With a beautiful smile on his face, Jiang Ziyan said to the war beasts around him.
Yun Wuyi instantly guessed what Jiang Ziyan was going to do, and immediately said, "Senior Sister Jiang, your black shadow has already taken a step forward, let me come, the one behind me shouldn't have moved." ”
Without waiting for Jiang Ziyan to refuse, Yun Wuyi quickly pinched a magic trick, and a wind system battle technique emanated from his hand, heading straight into the sky.
After a few breaths, under everyone's attention, the black shadow behind Yun Wuyi really moved a step forward, closer to his body.
The atmosphere was serious again.
