In the hall, Li Yan and the other three kept looking for the entrance they came from. After the three of them arrived, no one spoke, and they all carefully explored every part of the hall.
After burning the incense, Ming Qi withdrew her consciousness from the roof. That location was the entrance when they came. At this moment, only the empty roof was left.
After she pondered for a while, she spoke first to break the continued silence here.
"What we entered should only be a one-way transmission channel. I think the nearby rooms should have the same results after inspection!"
Her heart kept sinking.
They did not enter a real place, but stepped into a trap. The person who designed this trap was to trap people here without any chance of return.
The range for people to survive here is not very large. It is basically like sitting in a well and looking at the sky. If the time is just a little longer, it will be countless times more uncomfortable than death.
Mingyu didn't speak this time. What her sister wanted to say was also what she wanted to say.
Li Yan was standing near the gate at the moment. He quite agreed with Ming Qi's words. He was actually thinking about it.
At this time, when he heard Ming Qi speak, he thought for a while and expressed his opinion.
"Although this is a magic weapon, it doesn't mean it's really a trap?"
"Senior, you mean the exit in the backyard? What if that attack is not illusory, but real?
The other party had the ability to completely cover this place with its attack, but it did not do so. I think it is because it does not want the people who enter here to die easily, but to make people go crazy in despair!
Although the spiritual energy of heaven and earth here is pretty good, there are no other cultivation resources except the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
I don't know if the Fusion Realm monks can break this magic weapon after entering here, at least we two sisters can't.
If we want to break through the door to the backyard, if we sisters just want to cultivate to the realm of refining the void, we don’t know how many years and months we will have to wait?
But even though we sisters have reached the Void Refining Realm, we still feel powerless against that overwhelming attack!
And I think that attack is probably real, otherwise as long as we investigate it a little bit, the illusion will be meaningless."
Ming Qi seemed to have guessed what Li Yan was going to say and expressed her own opinion.
She and Mingyu were secretly transmitting messages just now, constantly speculating on various possibilities. They were able to practice along the way, but they also encountered too many dangers.
So regarding what happened in front of them, they quickly guessed the result. The purpose of this trap was quite insidious.
"The possibility you mentioned still exists, but what I want to say is, can this place be regarded as a sect mountain gate, used to defend against enemies?"
Li Yan said.
"Senior, if it is the mountain gate of a sect, how can we get out?"
Ming Yu's pretty face also had a depressed look. The old man in gray clothes was at the Void Refining Realm at best, so the meaning of these words was not very big.
"First, let's find out the situation here again. Let's start from the backyard. That area can resist the attacks of those scarecrows in the Void Refining Realm.
Is this magic weapon indestructible, or are those attacks fake? Even if they are fake, it is probably not easy to break them, but the hope is the best.
Of course, what you said makes sense. The possibility of it being false is too small. I’m most afraid of it being half-truth and half-falsehood..."
Li Yan said.
Ming Qi listened carefully to Li Yan's words, and the other party actually considered it more carefully. She looked at Ming Yu on one side, and then took a breath.
The old man in gray is right, we should first find out the situation here again.
"Senior, what you're saying is that there might be the sect's formation illusion there. As long as we can break through the illusion there, maybe we can go straight to the real place?"
"I'm just guessing. No matter whether the attack is real or fake, the attack range seems to be only in the backyard!"
This is exactly what Li Yan meant.
"I hope there won't be any half-truths or half-truths from seniors, so that we have a greater chance of cracking it!"
Ming Qi nodded. Whether the subsequent attack was real or fake, they could come up with a targeted method. At least this method would be relatively easier to formulate.
But if sometimes the attack is real and sometimes the attack is just an illusion, then this situation may cause more unknown changes, and it will be much more complicated to deal with.
Mingyu, who had been silent at this time, looked at Li Yan.
"Then let's test it carefully. I'll go to the circular arch. Senior and sister are at the corner of the house, and then try to use magic to attack the flying straw.
Sister, if you must break the connection with that spell in time after issuing an attack, just sense the power of the collision between the two parties!"
Mingyu said seriously.
"Okay, you have to be careful!"
Ming Qi had a good rapport with the other party. Seeing that her sister was the first to reveal the follow-up plan, she nodded and agreed without any hesitation.
After listening to the other party's words, Li Yan felt a little better about this pair of sisters.
The two of them at least cooperated with me and did not push the envelope, and the other party's seemingly random proposal actually had deep meaning.
Of course they came here to explore the secrets here. It would be meaningless if they were trapped here forever.
And if they want to achieve this goal, how can the three of them get out of here? The most reliable exit at present is undoubtedly the arch in the backyard.
If the other party asked him to go to the circular arch to trigger the ban on the formation, Li Yan would definitely doubt the other party's true intention.
Once the attack here is true and he is retreating, if the sisters only need to block it once, then he will definitely die.
Therefore, as long as the other party makes this suggestion, Li Yan will definitely reject it outright, or the three of them can go together.
Therefore, working with smart people saves people worry and effort.
"After Taoist Fellow Ming passes by, you need to be more careful! I won't take action, just let Fellow Taoist Ming Qi take action."
Li Yan was certainly not polite.
Seeing Li Yan agree and hearing Li Yan say that he would not take action, the two women took one look at Li Yan and felt that he was really scheming.
Surprisingly, after the two of them proposed the plan, in such a short period of time, they knew how to cooperate, which was more secure.
Let Ming Qi and Li Yan stay together, of course they have other plans of their own.
Thinking about this, the old man in gray also understands that he wants Ming Qi to look at the old man in gray. As long as the other party takes action to prevent Ming Yu from coming back, she will stop him immediately.
Of course, the chance of success here is only half, and the gap in strength between the two sides is not small.
However, fortunately, the distance between the front and back yards is very short. With all her efforts, Ming Qi can reach the power of the Void Refining Realm, so there is still some hope.
If they are unwilling to do this, then only three of them can go together, but there is no guarantee that one party will attack the other party during the retreat.
It is certainly impossible for both parties to fully trust each other at the moment.
However, they did not stop Li Yan from using his spiritual sense to investigate. It is estimated that the old man in gray would not agree to such a proposal.
However, the defensive magic weapon that the two girls transformed into yellow skirts also has the effect of defending against spiritual attacks. Otherwise, they would really consider the three of them going there together.
Soon, the three of them arrived at the corner of the row of houses on the west side, and Li Yan deliberately put some distance between him and Ming Qi, positioning himself much further back.
In this way, Ming Qi was in front of him, and after Ming Yu glanced at the two of them, he walked towards the backyard in silence.
The two women also agreed with Li Yan's position in their hearts.
They signed a blood contract with Li Yan. As long as Li Yan did not attack directly but only used other methods to block them, the blood contract would not be violated.
With Ming Qi at the side and in front, Li Yan would definitely not be able to take direct action against Ming Qi and Ming Yu due to contract issues.
So if he wanted to stop Mingyu, he could only attack the attacks in the backyard, induce the attacks to change direction, etc.
When Li Yan was in the room before, he said that he would not test it, thus making his attitude clear.
In that case, there is no theory that Li Yan would take action just to test whether the backyard attack was true or false.
Ming Qi must have been guarding against him. As long as Li Yan made the slightest move, Ming Qi would immediately block him. With such a short distance, Ming Yu could return to the house in an instant.
In the backyard, Mingyu continued to adjust the magic power in his body as he moved forward, heading towards the circular arch.
The specific trigger for that restriction should be that you cannot step through the arch. The three of them quickly reached a consensus on this point.
Soon, Ming Yu arrived at the circular arch, while Li Yan and Ming Qi on the other side kept looking at the backyard, locking their consciousness there firmly.
Because things changed so hastily before, they didn't even notice the scarecrow. How did it appear?
When Mingyu arrived at the circular arch, she was on full alert. She had already made all preparations during the march, and her consciousness and eyes were locked on the arch.
Then, she stepped directly on the edge of the arch with one foot!
Suddenly, a voice suddenly came.
"Why are you here?"
Then, whether it was Mingyu who was close at hand or the two people in the distance, they just felt that their eyes were blurred, and a figure spread its hands horizontally, blocking the circular arch!
A human figure with one leg on the ground, a tattered straw hat, and a pile of black and dry straw on its body. It opened its hands in the shape of a "cross" and directly blocked the way. It was a scarecrow.
Even though Mingyu had been mentally prepared, he was still shocked by the sudden scene. His heart jumped violently and his breath of shock also fluctuated.
As for Li Yan in the distance, his pupils shrank into needlepoint shapes in an instant. This time, he was fully focused.
Not only did he release all his spiritual consciousness, but he also quietly used soul skills. He wanted to detect the opponent through another kind of induction.
But he still couldn't sense how the scarecrow appeared? But vaguely, Li Yan felt like the scarecrow in the field behind him seemed to be missing one.
At the same time, with his powerful spiritual power, he could only vaguely notice that there seemed to be space fluctuations outside the circular arch.
But at that moment, it seemed that the induction was wrong. The induction was so subtle that he couldn't be sure.
"There is really no breath of life, so soul magic cannot sense soul fluctuations!
What’s even more weird about this scarecrow is that when he moves, there is almost no spatial fluctuation. I only discovered a few of them with all my strength..."
Li Yan thought quickly in his mind.
Mingyu looked at the scarecrow in front of him without saying anything. He wanted to see if there were any other problems after the scarecrow appeared this time.
She also couldn't sense the breath of life from the other person, so she wasn't sure if this scarecrow also had intelligence?
But while the two looked at each other, the scarecrow did not continue to speak. The two eyes made of dried mulberries looked at Mingyu strangely.
Even under the scorching sun, the surroundings were deathly silent, with only the sound of the wind blowing past Mingyu's ears...
Mingyu looked at this one-legged scarecrow standing there, like a scarecrow with two rows of black tears running down it. Its straight and straight arms seemed to be ready to pounce on him at any time and hug him tightly.
This made Mingyu feel that the midday sun shining above his head was so cold and biting!
At this moment, time seemed to have completely frozen, and in Mingyu's eyes, the scarecrow seemed to occupy her entire field of vision.
The few straws blown up by the wind on the scarecrow's face kept pulling to one side, as if he was giving out a weird and forced smile...
Suddenly, the scene behind the scarecrow appeared blurry in front of her, and there was another layer of black and yellow clouds, as if suddenly sweeping in from the horizon.
Behind this scarecrow, more scarecrows appeared in an instant. Mingyu suddenly felt his scalp tightening suddenly, and turned back and flew away without hesitation.
The next moment, the wall was immediately covered with scarecrows, and arrow-like straws shot out from the sky, chasing after Mingyu...
"Buzz!"
Mingyu raised her speed to the extreme. Because her speed was too fast, a straight fold of space appeared wherever she passed!
And behind her, the overwhelming black and yellow straw roared towards her with a sharp sound of breaking through the air.
Even though Li Yan and Ming Qi were standing in the corner of the house, even though they were mentally prepared, they still felt chills in their hearts.
They guessed that those attacks should not reach their location, but they still felt that those "arrows" shot with death would kill them completely at any time!
The moment they saw a row of scarecrows appearing on the wall of the backyard, Mingyu had already arrived at them, passed through in an instant, and fled directly to the front of the house.
When Ming Qi saw her sister retreating safely, she immediately used her long-awaited spell to hit the rain of "arrows" in the sky.
Moreover, the moment the spell collided with the rain of "arrows", she severed her connection with that spell.
"boom!"
The spell collided with a few straws instantly, and a ball of blazing light burst out in the air.
"Boom boom boom..."
Immediately, more straw hit the ground and the house, and a whole layer of dazzling light immediately appeared on the entire ground in the backyard and on the back of the house.
That's because the opponent's intensive attacks have already caused a covering state, allowing the originally just dots of bursting light to completely form a layer of coverage.
The entire courtyard shook violently again, as if it was about to completely shake the whole world apart. The power was the same as before, and it was still unbelievably fierce.
The moment Ming Qi used the technique, the person was shot backwards!
Li Yan really didn't take any action, but he also saw the overwhelming straw coming. When Ming Qi used her magic, she also fled to the front yard.
Those attacks were so shocking that he subconsciously wanted to avoid them, for fear that if his previous guesses were wrong, he would capsize in the gutter.
It's just that this time, although the three of them were retreating, they no longer focused entirely on their own defense.
But without exception, their consciousness was firmly locked in the backyard.
The three people's surface defenses were running wildly and they had retreated to the front of the house, but this time they did not close to the south wall.
The entire courtyard was still shaking violently, but they were overjoyed. Sure enough, after the attacks came, they really only landed within the backyard.
No matter whether it is hit on the ground or on the back wall of the house, it cannot be shaken at all.
What's even more strange is that just a breath of time after they left the backyard, the scarecrows at the rear courtyard wall immediately stopped attacking.
Then, when a layer of yellow light on the ground quickly dissipated, black and yellow straw flew up from the ground and shot back one after another.
In just a short period of time, they flew back to those scarecrows.
Then all the scarecrows on the wall and at the courtyard gate were just slightly blurred and then completely disappeared.
In just a short period of time, the entire backyard returned to the same scene as before.
"Sister, what kind of attack did you sense?"
Just after all the symptoms in the backyard disappeared, Mingyu immediately asked.
"It's not an attack from the illusion. What I sensed...is an attack from the early stage of the Void Refining Realm, but this is only the small area that I came into contact with.
Fortunately, I cut off my magic power quickly enough. I could sense that if my magic power had not been cut off from myself at that time, I would definitely be seriously injured in the next moment.
Among those overwhelming attacks, there should be stronger attacks, but no matter what, I think it will be difficult to escape once you confront them."
Ming Qi answered immediately.
But her face was already very solemn. Although the situation was basically clear, how were they going to solve it?
