"Big formation...?" Ling Chen was hit by Shen Yan's saber teeth straight to his neck. Suddenly, a stream of icy cold air emanated from the saber teeth, causing Ling Chen's whole body to tremble, but his chin was lifted by the woman's jade hand.
Unable to move at all, he could only stare helplessly at the woman with a frosty face.
"You won't understand even if you talk too much. Anyway, it will be difficult to get out of here tonight." The blue-black woman waved her jade hand, touching the skin of Ling Chen's neck and shin, where the saber teeth disappeared. She waved her hand to release Ling Chen's chin and stood up.
I came to meditate and look at the increasing purple mist around me.
ah!
Ling Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief when the threat on his neck and shin was gone! After learning that he had caused the senior sister in front of him to be trapped in the formation, a trace of guilt flashed across Ling Chen's pale face.
Previously, he only thought that this was a primitive forest, but he didn't expect that it was actually a large formation! If you put it this way, it makes sense that the trees on the periphery of the forest could not be cut down.
Ling Chen looked at the back of this senior sister and asked doubtfully, "Senior sister, since it is a big formation, why don't you put up a notice board? This can prevent low-level disciples like us from being trapped in the big formation."
"You think this formation belongs to the outer sect! This is a unique 'forbidden' set up by the inner sect to prevent the outer sect disciples from deliberately staying in the back mountain! Isn't there an announcement at the outer sect? All the disciples in the back mountain before dark
We all have to leave, what's wrong with you?" After saying this, the slightly angry senior sister turned around again and looked at Ling Chen carefully.
"Well, junior brother was here cutting wood to do a task within the sect. I forgot the time for a moment..." Ling Chen stood up from the ground. Although he suffered the rebound from the senior sister's spiritual weapon, fortunately, this terrifying senior sister did not
Use spiritual energy to counterattack yourself, otherwise Ling Chen's current physical body will still be too much to bear.
This unfamiliar senior sister was far more powerful than the pressure he faced against Mo Shangyu and the others, so Ling Chen judged that this senior sister was being merciful.
"It's your own fault, it's hurting yourself, and it's also hurting me."
The dark night shrouded the deep forest. Ling Chen couldn't see clearly the expression of this senior sister, but his tone sounded a little annoyed.
"Uh, I'm sorry, senior sister! What should we do now?"
As night falls, everything around becomes chaotic and blurry.
But at this time, Ling Chen's heart was filled with infinite melancholy...
"Click"
The senior sister took out a small stick from her sleeve that emitted clear and bright light. It illuminated Ling Chen's melancholy face and said angrily, "Isn't this all your fault? Why are you asking me now?"
"
Ling Chen looked at the small glowing stick in the hands of his senior sister in surprise, and was astonished——
The wooden stick emitting blue light has a bright light, but when it shines into the hazy purple mist around it, this bright light can only illuminate a range of less than two meters.
"This?" Ling Chen looked at the blue light and the vast purple mist that shot into the surroundings. It could never break through the two-meter range. The mysterious purple mist was like a natural barrier that restrained the blue light, tightly binding this bright blue light.
Ling Chen looked at the senior sister with a thoughtful expression on her face through the bright blue light, and frowned slightly!
The senior sister frowned: "No, it seems that we can only illuminate this distance."
Ling Chen looked at the bright blue light suspiciously, and it began to become stronger and weaker.
"Sister, do you think this little stick will go out suddenly?"
"You're looking for death!" The senior sister gave Ling Chen a hard look, held a small stick and pointed it at the ground less than two meters away, and started to move forward cautiously.
"Uh!" Ling Chen hurriedly picked up the giant ax on the ground, put the black sword on his back, and followed the senior sister in front.
The senior sister saw Ling Chen carrying the giant ax and cautiously following behind him, and said unhappily, "Who asked you to follow! You hurt me like this."
"Uh, senior sister, I'm sorry about that. I really didn't mean it. You were kind enough to bring me with you, otherwise this place would be so dark..." Ling Chen's pale face regained a little color, and he said with some shame.
"What's the use of being sorry? Stay away from me." The senior sister gave Ling Chen a hard look, with a look of reluctance on her face.
Because the small wooden stick that emits blue light has a limited illumination range, Ling Chen followed closely behind the senior sister.
"Uh, okay! I'll go behind!" Ling Chen heard that the senior sister meant to take him with her, so he hurriedly took a few steps back and echoed.
The senior sister, who was silent anymore, frowned, thinking deeply while walking along the path ahead...
Looking down from the dark virgin forest in the sky...
In the dark forest, with towering ancient trees and criss-crossing giant black trees, on a narrow path, a blue light that suddenly became stronger and weaker illuminated the frowning brows of two men and women.
With mixed emotions, Ling Chen followed the senior sister in front of him to find a way out deep into the forest. They walked through the forest with one foot deep and one foot shallow. The hoot of the owl high in the dense forest became more and more dull. First it was an occasional sound, and now it is so dull.
The sounds gradually merged into one, and the forest was full of humming sounds.
The senior sister continued to move forward with the help of the slightly blurred blue light in her hand.
Ling Chen carried a giant axe. He had killed countless people in his previous life, so he was no longer afraid of the owl in this little dark night before him.
However, they seemed to have been walking in circles for more than three hours! The frowning senior sister finally stopped, and used the blue light to make a mark on a huge tree on the spot, and the two continued to shuttle through the darkness.
In the dense forest...
…
"Why are you back again, damn it?"
"The east side, no, it's the west side..."
While walking, he heard his senior sister talking to herself, and Ling Chen couldn't help but interrupt: "Senior sister, since your cultivation level is so high, why don't you just fly out?"
The senior sister responded angrily, "Do you think I don't want to? In this dense forest wrapped in purple mist, can you try to see if the spiritual energy in your body can escape from your body?"
"Uh, no! Could it be that this purple mist can isolate the spiritual energy in the monks' bodies, making it impossible for us to use the spiritual energy?"
"Well, this is one of the three most mysterious ancient prohibitions in the Inner Sect. The first one is set up in the back mountain to protect the Divine Bridge of the Outer Sect. Outsiders cannot break through this formation."
The senior sister continued to explain.
"Oh, then we won't be able to get out."
Ling Chen heard that it was forbidden by ancient times, and a look of surprise flashed across his face.
"It's okay, the killing array in the big formation hasn't been activated yet, it's just the most basic small maze. As long as you find the right path, you can still get out," the senior sister explained.
"Oh, okay, senior sister, please light the way ahead, and later I will use an ax to mark every tree we pass, so that we can go faster."
The senior sister nodded and continued to walk forward. Under the increasingly faint blue light, there were bursts of "pop-pop" sounds. It was Ling Chen making marks...
…
Time passes very quickly while searching for a path in the dark night!
The range illuminated by the blue light shrank again, and Ling Chen had no choice but to approach this mysterious senior sister again.
"Snapped"
"By the way! Senior sister, what's your name? My name is Ling Chen."
After striking a mark on the big tree next to him with an ax, Ling Chen casually asked the senior sister next to him.
When Mingwei was mentioned, the senior sister paused for a moment and said to Ling Chen with a calm expression: "My surname is Ji, you don't need to know the rest."
"Oh" Ling Chen took out the giant ax and continued to follow Senior Sister Ji into the darkness ahead...
…
Late night passed——
Gradually, this was the thirteenth time they returned to the original place. Under the weak blue light, the two looked at the surrounding trees with embarrassed expressions, all marked with marks!
"Uh, senior sister, do you think our trick is effective?" Ling Chen was a little tired carrying the giant axe, and murmured as he looked at the large trees around him that were densely covered with marks.
Suddenly a flash of enlightenment flashed across the face of Senior Sister Ji, who was deep in thought. She looked at the big tree surrounded by marks, and for a moment... she said to herself in surprise;
"It must be like this! Yes! Why didn't I think of it before?"
"What is this?" Ling Chen looked at Senior Sister Ji in front of him in confusion.
Senior Sister Ji, who woke up from her epiphany, took the blue stick in her hand, illuminated an area less than one meter and said to Ling Chen, "Hurry up, I know the way out."
"Um" Ling Chen walked into the area illuminated by blue light. Because the area of blue light shrank again, he found that he and the senior sister Ji were too close, their shoulders were almost touching.
"Throw that ax, we'll be out soon anyway." The senior sister looked at Ling Chen's muscular body and the huge axe.
"But this is from Sword Forging Peak. What if I lose it?"
The senior sister said coldly again; "Throw it away..."
In the end, Ling Chen compromised and threw away the giant ax, and followed the path of this unusually powerful senior sister.
Senior Sister led Ling Chen back, and just when Ling Chen was puzzled and about to ask a question, Senior Sister Ji who was walking next to him suddenly stopped and took a few steps back.
The blue light was getting weaker and weaker and was about to go out. Ling Chen watched Senior Sister Ji looking intently at a smaller 'Xiangyu' tree.
Confused, he was about to speak, but suddenly he noticed that Senior Sister Ji's jade hand was caressing the small tree a few times, and then she held the extinguished stick in her hand and motioned for Ling Chen to follow.
Ling Chen was pulled by Senior Sister Ji's arm and took a few steps forward!
Suddenly, the space in front seemed like a water mirror being broken, and the two of them passed through the rippled space strangely.
The body disappears...
…
There was a ripple, and the two figures appeared on the outskirts of a dark forest.
Ling Chen appears!
Once again, he felt more comfortable and the flow of demonic energy in his body. Ling Chen was secretly frightened and looked around at the surrounding environment.
At this moment, the stick in Senior Sister's hand was completely extinguished, but at this moment, Senior Sister Ji's whole body suddenly erupted with a bright blue light, illuminating the world. Ling Chen suddenly discovered that the place where the two of them were standing was at the outskirts of the forest.
On the stone road.
"Come out, my breathing becomes much easier," Ling Chen couldn't help but sigh.
After leaving the ancient forbidden forest, not only can the suppressed demonic energy be used, but the night can be seen as if it were day.
"Let go of your hand, I'm going back." Blue light shrouded Senior Sister Ji, looking at Ling Chen indifferently.
"Uh" Ling Chen hurriedly let go, having unintentionally grabbed the senior sister's sleeve.
It was already midnight, and most of the disciples in the outer sect were immersed in quiet meditation, and the entire outer sect was silent.
The blue light erupted from the senior sister's body illuminated the road ahead. She glanced sideways at Ling Chen, who was standing there, and said nothing more!
The whole body turned into a blue light, half a meter above the ground, and quickly disappeared on the road paved with granite marble...
"Well"
Ling Chen was about to go back to the mountain gate and stepped out with his left foot! However, he noticed something under his feet. He moved his feet away and suddenly found that the small black stick with the light faded was lying quietly on the stone floor.
Ling Chen picked up the small, colorless stick in his hand, looked at the distant blue light and shook his head!
Carrying the long sword behind him, he walked toward the outer gate square alone...
