Chapter 493: Natural Maze
Seeing what the old man in the black robe said, the beautiful eyes of the woman in blue flashed and she nodded solemnly. Then with a wave of her hand, the ten shadow guards behind her quickly surrounded the city, arching her and the black-robed old man in the middle, and walked into the stone forest.
As soon as he entered the stone forest, Zhou Nan was stagnant. His divine thoughts were instantly compressed by more than half. Especially when I encountered those ubiquitous earthy yellow fog masses, as far as the eye could see, there was even a distortion of Yan zhòng, and I couldn't see it at all.
"It turned out to be a natural maze, and it seems that we have to deal with it carefully. Frowning, Zhou Nan said softly.
The natural maze, it goes without saying, nature is a naturally formed maze.
In this world, there are a lot of coincidences, when the natural environment gathers qi and hides the wind, obtains the creation of heaven and earth, and reaches certain conditions, some non-artificial formations will be formed.
These formations, under normal circumstances, are either extremely powerful or have an extremely wide coverage. In short, there are many, many advantages, and it is very difficult for an immortal cultivator to establish the same formation with the help of external objects.
And this strange stone forest is a natural maze, which belongs to a wide range but limited power.
This kind of maze, because of its wide range and interference with the intruder's five senses, is not easy to get out.
Entering the stone forest, Zhou Nan did not go too deep, but in the outermost layer, spared the circle. The road traveled also made some very subtle markings. The road ahead is unknown, as long as it is not a last resort, he will not rush into the depths.
Just when Zhou Nan and the black-robed old man were playing hide and seek, it happened to be in the south of the stone forest. There was a large group of people, full of vigilance, and opened a tight defensive line. It is more than ten miles long. It's clear that something big is going on here.
On top of a tall stone pillar. An old man dressed in sackcloth and braided hair and a Confucian scholar wearing a high crown and holding a feather fan were squinting slightly, staring at the deepest part of the stone forest, their expressions were unusually solemn, and no one spoke for the time being.
It took a long time for Confucian to wave his feather fan, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes. His face suddenly became a little more ruthless.
"Ahem, do you want to go in?"
"This is nature, that beast escaped into it, its inner pill contains the power of the two attributes of thunder and fire, which is indispensable for my next step of cultivation, and I must get it. Confucius did not answer directly, but the words he said already showed his attitude.
"Now that the young patriarch has decided. Then the old man will arrange for manpower. The old man nodded, and turned to leave.
"Wu Lao, don't worry, although I plan to go in. But this stone forest is not an ordinary place, so I rushed into it. But it's going to be a big loss. Wu Lao will protect the Dharma first, wait for me to cast a spell or two, and probe. It's not too late. Rusheng stretched out his hand to stop the old man in Mai and smiled slightly. He held the feather fan and sat cross-legged. Regardless of the pinching of the trick and chanted the mantra.
Seeing this, the old man in Mai nodded with satisfaction, and carefully stood behind Confucius. He and a large group of old guys in the clan chose to support Confucianism, and this kid really lived up to expectations, he was not arrogant or impatient, he was cautious, and he was very useful!
As Confucius continued to cast spells, two fist-sized balls of light, one blue and one red, appeared in front of him.
As soon as the corners of his mouth lifted, Ru Sheng bit the tip of his tongue violently, and when he opened his mouth, he spit out two mouthfuls of essence blood, which were submerged into two balls of light.
As the essence blood was rapidly absorbed, the two balls of light flashed a few times, and countless runes fluttered and fused together. Then they rotate and go straight down, one moment thunder and lightning, and the other moment the fire is blazing. After a while, a strange fluctuation swept out.
"The movement of thunder and fire not only uses the unparalleled speed of thunder and lightning, but also contains the sense of temperature of the flame. can also fuse the two together, the young patriarch has improved a lot in the past few years. Seeing this, the old man in Mai smiled with relief.
This spell of Confucianism is a full half an hour. Half an hour later, the ball of light in his hand dispersed, and Confucius stopped to himself. Standing up, he coughed softly, and his face couldn't help but turn a little pale. But he was in a very good mood.
"Young Patriarch, have you found that brute?" the old man in Mai asked with some excitement as he took a step forward.
"Not yet, but I've identified three locations. Wait a minute, we will divide into three groups and move separately. You and I will each bring a hundred subordinates, and all the rest will be handed over to Wu Xuan, and it is time for him to go through the experience. After discovering that beast, don't be in a hurry to make a move, wait for everyone to converge, and then make a final decision!" Confucius shook his head, but then turned around, looked at a young man in a green robe outside the stone forest, and said with great meaning.
Hearing this, the old man in Mai was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed and saluted, loudly expressing his heart. You must know that the so-called Wu Xuan is the junior he values the most. This time it can be reused by the young patriarch, which is naturally a great blessing for the Wu family.
Half an hour later, wait for the Confucian students to fully recover. He himself, the old man in Mai, plus the so-called young man Wu Xuan, was divided into three teams, each with a large number of people and horses, from different directions, into the stone forest.
This side is in full swing, but the situation in Zhou Nan is precarious. The black-robed old man didn't know what he could do, just like a dogskin plaster, sticking to him, cutting off all his retreats and forcing him into the depths of the stone forest.
The more you advance into the depths of the stone forest, the more severely your divine thoughts are suppressed. After walking less than thirty miles, Zhou Nan's divine thoughts had completely lost their effect, and he was curled up in his body, unable to leave his body at all, which was really hateful.
Without divine thoughts, you can't command spirit beasts to fight. But the little lion has opened his mind, and Zhou Nan believes that he knows how to fight. Holding the little guy, Zhou Nanyan said a few words, then took a step forward and ran forward quickly.
This stone forest is very strange, there are many stone pillars outside, but the deeper you go inside, it becomes rarer. In the end, it is possible to meet one every time they are thousands of feet apart, but at the same time, the pillars are becoming more and more slender and weird.
After another half of tea, I saw that only the bare flat ground was left around. Zhou Nan squinted his eyes slightly and glanced around. His face was gloomy for a while. In desperation, he could only grit his teeth. Rushed into the very center of the stone forest.
As soon as he entered the center of the stone forest, Zhou Nan's body sank. He fell directly from the air to the ground, and with two 'bangs', he stepped on two deep footprints. "Damn, there's even a gravitational field. Zhou Nan's shoulders shook, and his heart couldn't help but sink.
As soon as Zhou Nan's front foot entered the center of the stone forest, the black-robed old man and his party chased after him.
Next, they encountered the same embarrassment as Zhou Nan. Although their movements slowed down, their faces were extremely excited.
"Boom. boy, you might as well be caught!" staring at Zhou Nan not far away, the black-robed old man smiled.
The woman in blue didn't speak, but just looked at Zhou Nan curiously, with a very strange expression. This person is so ordinary, there is not the slightest bright spot on his body, he really can't figure it out, just by him, he can make the young lady condescend. Came to Silverscale City in person?
Hearing the laughter of the black-robed old man, those shadow guards had already regrouped their formation. There were five people on the left and right, and the line surrounded Zhou Nan. They are the shadow guards of the eastern tribe. All of them are highly cultivated, have a strong sense of combat, and cooperate seamlessly with each other.
I heard the shouts of the black-robed old man. Zhou Nan's face sank. He grabbed a large boulder and threw it away.
And himself. also lifted his breath, and hugged the little one. Against the huge gravity, run forward quickly.
With a wave of his hand, he smashed the oncoming boulder, and the black-robed old man roared. The figure twisted slightly, and it turned into a slender bloodshot strangely, just a fluttering burst, and it rushed forward more than a hundred feet.
Seeing this, Zhou Nan's eyeholes shrank. As soon as he raised his hand, more than a dozen fireballs surrounded the city and flew backwards to intercept them.
Although he knew that the fireball technique alone would not be of great use, but now he could only take one step at a time.
"Hmph, carving insect skills!" A sneer came from inside the blood, and the black-robed old man actually ignored the oncoming fireball. In a flash, he crossed over. And those fireballs landed in the air, and with a 'boom', they burst open.
Looking at the black-robed old man who was already a hundred feet away and would catch up with him in a few jumps, Zhou Nan's face was gloomy and almost dripping. Until now, he didn't know how this person had found him.
For the sealed dragon coffin, he has absolute confidence. Even the Six Desires Soul Curse of the West Ghost Gate couldn't help him. Although the cramping and peeling are powerful, what are they compared to the old ghost? But they are really difficult, and they are the most vicious.
Although his heart was full of anger, Zhou Nan knew very well that he could not be entangled. The strength of this black-robed old man is not weak, and it is impossible to solve it in a short period of time. If you delay the time and be surrounded by those behind you, it can really be dangerous.
It's understandable, but sometimes, the development of things is often so hateful.
After two breaths, the black-robed old man flew in front of Zhou Nan, and under the interweaving of his body, he turned into a huge net and headed at him.
"Hehe, where are you going?" came an annoying laugh from the net.
"Little lion, up. A cold color flashed on his face, and as soon as Zhou Nan's arm was forced, he threw the little lion out. Then as soon as he patted the storage bag, he took out the golden small sword magic weapon and the fire bird sword magic weapon obtained from Geng Qingnian. The hilt of the sword was tied with a tough gold thread, and the other end was already wrapped around the left hand.
As soon as he finished this qiē, the little lion above exchanged hands with the black-robed old man.
As soon as the poofs touched, the little lion's figure flashed a few times, and then pulled out a few silver-gray rays of light, and the sharp claws, in the bursts of gold and iron friction sounds, tore the giant net violently into several pieces.
Seeing this, he didn't wait for Zhou Nan to be happy. As soon as the blood flashed in the air, the black-robed old man turned into a huge net again, blocking the way of the two. Although the little lion has a noble bloodline and strong strength, it is only a beginner in the fifth order, and its strength is limited.
When it was in Silver Scale City, the reason why it was able to beat the black-robed old man was because of the thunderbolt's restraint on the black-robed old man. But now, under the desperate obstruction of the black-robed old man at any cost, it has nothing to do but resist with all its might.
With this moment's delay, it didn't take long for the woman in blue and the shadow guard behind to surround them. (To be continued......)
