Chapter 336: Where to go, choose the path carefully
"Master, did you say that the old man in black was very familiar with the magic circle, he only walked a few hours ahead of us, how could he not see his shadow all the time?"
"I don't know. Maybe your guess is correct, he is a martial immortal, much stronger than me. Wang Yan knew that he couldn't compare with the old man in black, so he could only do his best to catch up.
"Master, if that's the case, we'll be too far behind. Do you think, in the Soul Illusion Array, you have been trapped for five days, and we can still catch up with the old man in black?" the eight-legged octopus then asked. Even if it was just a demon beast that had just opened its mind, it understood that the further it went, the more powerful the magic circle it encountered, and there was no possibility of catching up with the old man in black.
"Mizukage, don't guess! Even if the old man in black is more familiar with the magic circle than his master, it is impossible to crack the soul illusion array in a short time, because the illusion in the soul illusion array is not something that can be solved by being strong or familiar with the magic circle. The master was able to break through the formation in five days, which was already quite fast, and even if the old man in black was faster than the master, it would take at least three days. And the first two magic circles, the master did not delay for long, and the total added up was only a little more than a day, and we entered the soul illusion array.
You also saw that we didn't see the figure of the old man in black at that time, if he was walking the same road with us, it would be impossible not to see him, so the beast felt that the old man in black was not necessarily in front of our direction. If the judgment is correct, there are two possibilities, one is that the old man in black is indeed familiar with the magic circle. The second possibility is that the old man in black changed his direction for some unknown reason, so he may not be in front of us, and he may even encounter a more powerful circle, which is difficult to break out of the formation and fall behind us. The beast was worried that the eight-legged octopus's words would have a bad impact on Wang Yan, so he quickly refuted it.
"Alright. Don't talk about it. Be attentive, especially the beasts, you are also familiar with the circle, see if you can help me find the traces of the circle in advance. It's better than being reactive when you enter the circle. Wang Yan didn't want to listen to the beast and the eight-legged octopus guessing there. Because their speculation has no practical meaning. No matter where the old man in black has arrived now. As long as he has not obtained the qualification to inherit the ancient relics from the old immortals, Wang Yan will not give up.
Is the old man in black now far away in front of Wang Yan, or is it like the second guess of the beast. Trapped in a very powerful magic circle, it is difficult to break out? In fact, after fighting to get injured and break through from the killing array, the old man in black realized that there were many differences between the magic circle in the ancient ruins and the magic circle he was familiar with, which was obvious, as long as he used his brain a little, he could understand that the old immortal said that he had been sleeping for 100,000 years, then, these magic circles were all ancient magic circles 100,000 years ago, and naturally they would be very different from the magic circles learned by the immortals after 100,000 years, and the knowledge of the magic circles that the old man in black would know was of little use here.
However, no matter how the various magic circles were changed, they still had their similarities, so the old man in black discovered the soul illusion array through his own judgment.
How dangerous the soul phantom array was, the old man in black knew it, and even thought that this was the ancient soul phantom array from 100,000 years ago, he felt doubts about whether he could break through the formation, after all, this was the soul breaking through the formation, and a single mistake could be doomed. With such a mentality, the old man in black decisively chose to bypass this soul illusion array, which is why Wang Yan and the beast beast and the eight-legged octopus did not see the old man in black in the soul illusion array.
After bypassing the Soul Illusion Array, the old man in black found various magic arrays many times, and after judging, he felt that he was completely sure, so he stepped into it, but if he felt dangerous, he chose to detour, so that his speed was several times faster than Wang Yan's. When Wang Yan dismantled the Soul Illusion Array, the old man in black had already come from a desolate place to a canyon surrounded by mountains.
Here, the old man in black saw three paths, one extending into the canyon, and the remaining two winding up along the mountains on both sides of the canyon. There is no end in sight to all three trails, as the view is obscured by the various tall plants that grow in the mountains and canyons. Undoubtedly, only one of the three paths is correct, if you go wrong, it will not only delay time, but also be extremely dangerous.
This is not something that can be bypassed in the face of a dangerous circle, and one of the paths must be chosen to move forward anyway. In this way, the old man in black stayed in front of the three paths for a whole day, and then made up his mind to choose the path on the left that winds up the mountain and continue to move forward. The reason why this path was chosen is because all the sects in the fairy world are built on high mountains, and this law has been handed down from ancient times, unless there is a very special reason, no sect will violate such a law, therefore, although the palace in the ancient ruins was built 100,000 years ago, it is impossible to build it outside the mountain peak. And choosing the left side and not the right side is based on the concept of respecting the left side, and the old man in black finally decided.
It's just that not long after stepping on this path, the old man in black found a magic circle lying across the path, which is not like a desolate land, which can bypass the magic circle, and the old man in black can only step into the magic circle head-on, and try to break this complex magic circle where the two magic circles are superimposed together......
Half a month has passed in a flash, and with the help of beasts and eight-legged octopuses, Wang Yan has lost count of how many formations and formation eyes have been dismantled along the way, anyway, in his storage bag, there are now too many high-grade immortal yuan stones to count. Finally, on this day, he came to the place where the old man in black chose the path half a month ago, but here, Wang Yan only saw the path leading to the canyon and the path on the right that meandered up the mountain, and the path on the left side chosen by the old man in black no longer existed at all! This is because after the old man in black stepped on that path, the path disappeared along with the old man in black, and it is unknown whether he broke out of the complex formation of the superimposed two magic circles in the past half a month.
