Qiuqiu has actually never encountered such a formation, and what he read in the book is not so clear.
Qiuqiu is not sure whether they can successfully get out of this formation.
But the good thing is that she knows that all of this is just a trial. The various levels, formations, and dangers set up by Jiufeng's seniors are not intended to kill the younger disciples.
"What will happen to us if this direction is not the right one?"
Qiuqiu didn't look back: "I don't know, it's not mentioned in the book. I think they will send us back to where we were, just like before."
If they find the formation right away, of course everything goes smoothly, their luck is really good. But is their luck really that good?
Definitely not.
Qiuqiu counted in her heart, one thousand steps, two thousand steps.
No, this formation shouldn't be that big. The three-star formation is the simplest among the formations, and it would be impossible to stretch it for miles.
Qiuqiu raised her head and looked forward, and there was a faint, winding light white line in front of her.
The guard took a step forward, and he could see more clearly than Qiuqiu.
"Let's go."
Qiuqiu is not very depressed.
The white line is getting closer and clearer.
That's it.
Just now they walked down this stone road to the left and forward. They had been walking in a straight line, but now they were walking back to this road.
Qiuqiu lowered her head and searched on the ground. She saw the pattern of cracking the formation that she had just drawn underground without any effort. They walked back to the starting point, and now the left front direction could be ruled out. There was no real way for them to escape.
's array eyes.
"Let's take a rest and let's look in another direction."
The guard took out a small sapphire vase and handed it to Qiuqiu.
Qiuqiu took it: "What is this?"
"Herbal tea brewed with spring water and several herbs."
I really didn't realize that the guards also had such a thing.
After uncorking the bottle, Qiuqiu smelled a faint fragrance of vegetation.
She took a sip, and the liquid in the bottle turned into a breath of fresh air when it reached her mouth. Some of it slid down her throat, and the other part directly penetrated her heart and spleen during her breath. This cool aroma refreshed people's spirits.
Very refreshing.
"There's no need to rest. Let's continue looking. Otherwise, we'll have to start all over again after Haishi."
The guard nodded.
Their pace is not too slow. Even if they walk through all three corners, it probably won't take an hour. The key is that even if they find the last formation eye, it may still take some twists and turns to unlock the formation.
This time Qiuqiu and the others went to the front right corner.
The long grass made a rustling sound as it was trampled.
Qiuqiu looked carefully from side to side, and realized that the formation eyes could be various objects, such as rocks, trees, or something man-made. It could all be possible.
Did Shier also encounter the same formation trouble?
However, he is so calm and composed, and he has extensive knowledge and strong memory. He is much better than a dabbler like Qiuqiu. This kind of formation will not keep him trapped for long.
"Brother Guan, please pay close attention and see if there is anything unusual here."
Calculating the distance, if this is the correct direction, the eye array shouldn't be too far away and may appear at any time.
However, Qiuqiu didn't notice anything unusual in his field of vision. Trees, weeds, and stones were all ordinary. There was nothing strange about them.
An inconspicuous gray shadow passed through the forest.
Qiuqiu looked up and saw that the night birds were returning to their nests.
The guard also saw it.
Qiuqiu took two more steps forward. The guard did not move and turned around.
"Go and see that bird."
"how?"
"The two of us passed by, and the bird shouldn't be as calm as anything."
Qiuqiu suddenly understood.
Yes, birds are very alert. If two people are found here, the bird will not turn a blind eye and go back to its nest, right?
Qiuqiu became energetic, and together with the guard, they followed the trajectory of the bird just now, but they stopped just a few dozen steps away.
In front of me is an ordinary-looking tree. Looking up, through the branches and leaves, I can see a bird's nest on the branch.
The guard said, "I'll go up and have a look."
"I am coming too."
The two of them held their breath, Qiuqiu held on to the tree, jumped up lightly, and landed next to the bird's nest. The guard was standing on the tree trunk behind her.
The bird's nest is made of twigs, hay and some wadding. There are three eggs in the nest, but the adult bird is nowhere to be seen.
Seeing the eggs, even the guards understood.
These eight achievements were the formation they were looking for.
Although the formation is not dangerous or difficult, without Qiuqiu, he might not be able to get out for days and nights.
"This... must be for us to pick one." In the three-star array, these three exactly three eggs are no coincidence.
The three eggs are exactly the same based on their appearance. They are lying peacefully in the nest. They are gray with small cyan spots on them. They look completely the same.
But there must be one among them that is not a bird egg, but an eye that can allow them to leave the Three-Star Formation.
Qiuqiu reached out and picked up the three eggs and asked the guards to look at them together.
"The size, weight, feel and temperature are all the same..."
Qiuqiu opened her eyes and observed carefully.
It's an oval-shaped, quite small bird egg, and you can't see any difference.
The guard stretched out his hand, and Qiuqiu carefully handed him the three eggs.
Don't you have to be careful? If they don't do it right, all their efforts will be wasted.
If a third person were around at this moment, most likely they would find it very funny to see these two people squatting on the tree, staring at the three eggs so seriously.
However, both Guan Wei and Qiuqiu were concentrating and did not dare to be distracted at all. Qiuqiu picked up another egg and gently rubbed the eggshell.
There is really no difference in feel and appearance
There is no x-ray available...
Qiuqiu's eyes lit up.
They don't have X-ray equipment, but Qiuqiu has heard that the Kang room where chicks are hatched will use a relatively strong light to shine on the eggs to determine whether the eggs are fertilized eggs. The egg shells can transmit light.
Qiuqiu handed the eggs to the guard and rummaged through the Qiankun bag.
Something that can emit strong light... should at least be able to shine through the eggshell. The fluorescent stone is definitely not bright enough, it is a very strong light...
Qiuqiu couldn't find such a thing in her bag for a while.
"What are you looking for?"
"I need to find something very bright that can shine through the eggshell." Qiuqiu raised her head and said, "I don't seem to have one on me."
"I have it." The guard took out a bag from his sleeve, opened the mouth of the bag, took out a glass ball-like object the size of a fan pendant and handed it to Qiuqiu.
"Shake it and it will light up."
Qiuqiu found it very strange. She didn’t know what this was used for, but it just came in handy now.
She shook the bead as the guard told her, and as expected, a ball of glowing light shone brightly inside the bead. The more she shook it, the brighter it became. In the end, it was so bright that it was dazzling.
"Is it bright enough?" the guard asked.
"That's enough."
Qiuqiu picked up the eggs one by one and put them in front of the bead.
There should be egg white in the egg shell, and the egg yolk is wrapped inside. I haven't photographed Qiuqiu before, but this feature should be easy to identify.
"This one seems like..."
The third one she photographed was different from the first two.
When this one is held up to the light, you can see the chaos inside, and you can't see the obvious difference between egg white and egg yolk like the previous two.
The guard came over and took a look.
Is this the one? Qiuqiu didn't dare to conclude.
She put the egg in her hand again and weighed it. She even put it to her nose and smelled it.
Well, for a foodie, seeing something like eggs is quite familiar, and before eating something, he instinctively wants to smell it.
The guard watched silently from the side. After Qiuqiu smelled it, he felt that he might have done something wrong. He said a little sarcastically: "I used to like poached eggs..."
Of course, she not only loves to eat poached eggs. As an egg lover, she also loves to eat egg custard, egg soup, egg pancakes, egg fried rice, etc... She loves them all.
The guard had facial paralysis, so it was hard to tell whether he was complaining silently in his mind.
But when it comes to eating, Qiuqiu suddenly thinks of it.
It's a bird egg. And it's still raw. The eggshell should have a bit of fishy smell, right? A little bit.
She didn't smell anything just now.
Qiuqiu picked up the two coins and smelled them. There was a slight fishy smell, but it was not obvious.
The third one really has no smell.
"That's it." Qiuqiu concluded.
The guard had no objection. The two put the other two eggs back into the nest and jumped down from the tree with the egg.
The guard looked at her.
Should we go back or continue to move forward.
"Go back."
The two of them turned around and walked back. After a while, they returned to the place where Qiuqiu drew the formation diagram.
"If we are not mistaken, we should be able to walk out this time."
Qiuqiu held the egg in her hand, and the two of them walked forward along the road.
Under the moonlight, the broken stubble of the foundation stone on the roadside can be seen very clearly, and there is also the piece of gravel placed by the guard on it.
They have gone through this gap.
Qiuqiu felt her heart pounding. Two hundred steps, three hundred steps. Just now they had walked about five hundred steps, and then they found that they were back at the stubble-breaking position.
Did they succeed this time?
Can you go out?
Five hundred steps.
Qiuqiu's palms were sweating.
Go further, five hundred and fifty steps, six hundred steps——
Although it was dark and could not be seen clearly from a distance, the same stubble did not appear again next to the roadbed.
Qiuqiu turned around and looked at the guard: "We...are out."
"Yes, we are going uphill."
"Really, I didn't notice it."
No, they originally said they would rest when they reached the top of the slope, but from the time they said that to now, it seemed like a few hundred steps away, but it took them several hours to walk there.
Looking back at the road they walked, Qiuqiu breathed a long sigh of relief.
The formation is really useful. Just like Guan Wei, such a powerful master, but he was trapped in such a formation without even an opponent, and he couldn't use his amazing skills - there was no opponent at all.
No matter how powerful his swordsmanship is, it is useless.
Not to mention the secret realm where she found Xiaolong before. The formation on it is even more exquisite. Qiuqiu still hasn’t figured out a clue yet. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes.
