Li Chendong hesitated: "There may be dangers on the road, otherwise we won't be uneasy twice for no reason. From today on, we will strengthen our vigilance. I hope it is just unfounded worries."
"There are eight of us. Even if we encounter any problems, we should be able to solve them easily." Jiao Yunfei said confidently.
"Everything is possible, who knows what we will encounter? The road to the zoo is not smooth, and something happens every year." Xuan Lingzi sighed.
The eight people remained silent. This uneasy feeling made them no longer interested in communicating, so they sat in silence separately.
There was no talk all night, and the next day, the disciples of the four sects went on their way as usual. The eight supernatural monks didn't say anything, but secretly stepped up their defenses.
But all the way westward, as far as the eye could see, there was endless wilderness. Although the place where the team was walking was desolate, not even a shadow of a living creature could be seen, and there was no threat at all.
Three days later, the disciples walked quickly and walked nearly a thousand miles. After seeing a large area of fertile green soil and various wild animals, the eight magical monks breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed their guard.
Come down.
Along the way, the biggest danger may be encountering monsters, especially beasts, which eight magical monks cannot stop.
However, as long as you cross the wilderness safely, the possibility of encountering monsters is very slim. At least within the range where monsters may move, there are no other ordinary animals.
Even Li Chendong was a little skeptical. Maybe his uneasiness was just a whim?
In the evening, in the distance, a small town appeared in front of it. Looking up, the green smoke was misty, and it looked full of life.
Everyone was refreshed and quickened their pace. They had been eating and sleeping outside for the past few days. Although the practitioners did not care about the external conditions, if they could live more comfortably, no one would refuse.
After a while, everyone approached the edge of the town.
"Hey, there's no one in this town?" A Zhengyi disciple asked strangely.
Everyone looked around, and sure enough, the main road in the town was empty, with not a single soul in sight. However, the chimneys of many houses were still emitting green smoke.
"Maybe it's because life in the town is quiet and people have already started to rest in the evening." Another Donghua sect disciple said.
Everyone nodded. Although the town looked a bit strange, there were many people there and they were practitioners, so they were naturally not afraid of anything. More than a hundred people poured into the town and walked on the main road of the town.
As soon as he entered the main road of the town, Xia Chen was startled.
"What's wrong?" Chen Qiushui asked when he saw this.
"I feel as if I'm in a dream, as if I'm half asleep and half awake. Do you feel that way? Senior sister?" Xia Chen said.
He frowned. Although this feeling was very slight, it felt familiar, but he couldn't remember where he passed by.
After entering the cornucopia with his mind in mind, Xia Chen's senses became extremely keen.
Chen Qiushui shook his head and said, "No, I don't feel anything."
Xia Chen didn't say anything. The feeling just now was just a moment to him, maybe it was just an illusion.
Soon, everyone arrived at the small square in the center of the town, but there was still no figure or sound in the town.
Everyone's expressions gradually changed. This small town seemed to be out of character, giving off a strange atmosphere.
"Look, the doors of the houses are all ajar." A disciple of the Yun Ling Sect suddenly shouted.
Everyone looked and saw that, as expected, most of the doors of the houses in the town were ajar, and some even had gaps several feet wide. If they were resting, it would be impossible to keep the doors open.
The eight supernatural monks looked at each other, their eyes flashing solemnly.
"Go to any house and have a look. Remember to knock on the door first!" Jin Dazhao shouted.
Several Yunling Sect disciples walked into the nearest house. After only a moment, they hurried out. The leading disciple exclaimed in shock: "Master, there are several dead bodies in the house. They seem to have been poisoned. They have hair all over their bodies."
black."
Everyone was shocked.
"Donghua sect disciples spread out, in groups of two, and go to each house to check if there is anyone alive. Then they gather in the small square and pay attention to safety." Sun Mingsheng shouted.
Li Chendong and others also ordered that the disciples of the four sects dispersed and poured into the houses in the town.
Xia Chen and Chen Qiushui walked to a house. As soon as they opened the door, a disgusting stench hit their faces. They saw seven or eight corpses covered with the kitchen floor, the chairs in the living room, and the bed in the bedroom.
Each corpse was so black that even its facial features were unclear, and it was already rotten. Milky white insects could be seen faintly moving around in the mouth, nose and eyes of the corpse.
Xia Chen and Chen Qiushui looked at each other and exited the house at the same time. It was clear at a glance that these people were dead and there was no way they were still alive.
The two returned to the square, and disciples from various sects were returning one after another. After a while, everyone arrived. All the houses in the town had been searched, but no living person was found.
Xuan Lingzi's face was solemn: "Fellow Taoists, all the townspeople were poisoned and died at the same time, and there was no trace of resistance at the scene. This town is too weird, we should leave quickly."
Li Chendong and others nodded and were about to give the order for everyone to leave.
Suddenly, a subtle buzzing sound sounded, and a strange feeling came over everyone's mind.
"What's going on? Why do I feel like I'm in a trance?"
"Yes, it's just like a dream."
"This feeling is very familiar, as if I have seen it before somewhere."
Everyone was surprised.
"Xia Chen, I also feel the feeling you mentioned, what's going on?" Chen Qiushui asked in shock.
Xia Chen's heart was shocked. He suddenly remembered that this feeling was exactly what he felt when he entered Lieyunzi's cave and passed through the restricted light curtain. This was...
"Restricted!" The expressions of the eight magical monks changed greatly.
"Let's go!" Li Chendong yelled.
The sky dimmed in an instant. Although it was evening, you could still see things with the help of weak light, but in the blink of an eye, it turned into pitch black.
Even the sky disappeared, and it was a true darkness where nothing could be seen. In the darkness, there seemed to be creepy sounds.
Phew! A huge ball of fire suddenly burst out, illuminating an area of more than ten feet in an instant. It was Fan Yun. A huge flame half a foot high was burning in his hands, and he shouted: "Everyone stay in the small room."
Don’t move in the square, be on full alert.”
Other magical monks also quickly released their flames, dividing them into several directions, illuminating the space of the small square brightly.
Although the disciples were surprised, they were all elites of the sect after all, so they did not panic too much. They stood in the square in an orderly manner. Many disciples also released Hou Tianhuo to help illuminate the surroundings.
I saw that the town seemed to be shrouded in a thick black fog. Even if the flames in the palms of the eight supernatural monks were connected, they could only illuminate a space of more than ten feet outside the square. The outlines of several recent houses could be vaguely seen. It seemed that
, like a giant monster in the dark night, exuding a terrifying meaning.
"It seems we have stepped into a trap!" Li Chendong sighed. When the uneasy feeling truly became a reality, he calmed down.
"It's just a layer of black fog. We know the direction to go out. As long as we keep walking along, we should be able to escape." Jiao Yunfei said.
"No." Zhan Li shook his head. He looked at the black fog attentively, with a faint light shining in his eyes. "This black fog should be a maze restriction. The direction has already changed. As long as you enter, you will fall into an endless cycle.
middle."
"The existence that can set up the maze ban is at least a strong person with the second level of magical power to drive away objects. We are finished." Sun Mingsheng's face changed drastically.
All the magical monks suddenly lost their voice. They were only in the first-level innate realm of supernatural powers, which was far different from the second-level supernatural power-expelling realm. If there was really a strong man with the second-level magical power who plotted against them, there would be no chance of survival.
"Not necessarily. If it is a monk with the second level of supernatural power, he can kill us head-on. There is no need to set up a ban." Mrs. Sang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said.
Everyone woke up immediately.
"Mrs. Sang is right. It's possible that someone is using a forbidden magic weapon. We just need to find the source of the restriction and break it," Fan Yundao said.
Everyone suddenly became energetic.
"Junior brother, you add innate induction to my body, and I'll go explore it!" Xuan Lingzi said.
Jin Dazhao nodded, slapped his heart on the back, and a bright light suddenly appeared.
Whoosh! Xuan Lingzi shot out like lightning and entered the black mist in an instant. The brilliance extended behind him into a very fine light and connected to the palm of Jin Dazhao's hand.
The light was constantly shaking, and it was obvious that Xuan Lingzi was moving very fast in the black mist, turning in all directions in an instant.
After a stick of incense, Xuan Lingzi walked out of the black mist with an ugly face. His whole body was shrouded in black energy, but the body-protecting Gang Qi shook and turned the black energy invisible.
"Senior brother, how are you?" Jin Dazhao let go of his hand and asked hurriedly.
"I haven't found it. This restriction is very complicated." Xuan Lingzi sighed, "If it weren't for my innate sense, even I might not be able to get out. Moreover, there are still poisons in the black mist, so I can't stay in there for too long."
The expressions of Li Chendong and others changed. The cultivation level of the eight people was basically between the same. If even Xuan Lingzi couldn't find the source of the restriction, then the same would happen to the others.
Are we going to be trapped by this restriction? Hou Tian's disciples are pale. At their level, they are not qualified to have access to such advanced magical powers as restriction.
Suddenly, Mrs. Sang said: "Senior Brother Zhan, why not try your innate eye-opening skills, maybe you can find the forbidden source."
Zhan Li nodded and said: "The innate eye-opener does have the ability to see through things, but I haven't mastered it yet. Let's give it a try. Junior Sister Sang, you can add innate sensing for me."
Just as Mrs. Sang was about to slap him on the back, her expression suddenly changed.
Boom! Boom! Suddenly, slow and heavy footsteps came from the black mist. It seemed that something was approaching everyone from the black mist.
