"I decided to explore." Mo Wen said the answer calmly.
Shi Meng and others were obviously overjoyed. Mo Wen's strength was obvious to all. His last strongest blow against Ziyu was almost as powerful as the Sword Yuan's first-level attack! In their eyes, Mo Qiu was a quasi-Jian Yuanqiang.
! With such a strong person joining them, their confidence in exploring the maze will be doubled or even tripled.
The other four representatives who chose to withdraw were a little disappointed, but they could only choose to passively accept Mo Wen's choice. Could they still ask for it?
"Now that everyone has made a decision, we will each follow destiny." Shi Meng waved his hand and withdrew the illusion formation.
Next, representatives of all forces explained the truth about the path exploration to many testers, and more than a thousand testers immediately became uproar.
But in the end, the discussion is still about whether to move forward or quit!
The four major sword sects can absolutely control the trialists under their command, but the structure of the remaining five forces is complex, and the leader is just a representative pushed out, and cannot be the master of everyone. Some are willing to leave, and some are willing to stay.
There was a lot of discussion all day long, and the entire crypt was noisier than a vegetable market.
In the end, there were still a considerable number of people who chose to leave, almost more than 300 people, and the four representatives led the team back the same way. The people who stayed were naturally incorporated into the small Jianmen group who chose to stay, and the number suddenly increased to
Four hundred, it became the most powerful party.
"What do we do next?"
The remaining leaders of their own forces squatted beside the maze sketch, discussing their next actions.
"I think if we continue to choose a cave to move forward, we must first detect the bottom line of this maze, and then discuss the next step." Mu Qingshan said.
"I propose to act separately, which can speed up the process." Zhou Qingshu suddenly interrupted.
Shi Meng glanced at him: "No, there are unknown dangers in this maze. It's best not to act alone."
"Humph." Zhou Qingshu snorted lightly and said nothing more.
"Who has any objections? If there are no objections, let's start taking action." Shi Meng stood up and said, "This time, Brother Mo and I, Brother Shentu will be in front, and Brother Mu, Brother Zhou, and Brother Chen will be in the back. Is there any problem?"
The team set off again, but the number of people was reduced from more than 1,400 to more than 1,000. This time, they still chose the cave on the far left. The locations of the three caves they passed before have been recorded in blank jade slips and can be supplemented at any time.
The road was still calm, a bit scary. Half an hour later, another cave appeared in front of us. It was exactly the same as the one we encountered before. It had seven, no, eight standard cave entrances, like eight ferocious giant mouths.
“Take it down and move on!”
Half an hour later, another crypt appeared!
"Write it down and let's go!"
Half an hour later, the same crypt appeared.
"Remember! Let's go!"
Half an hour later...
"What crypt is this?"
In a crypt, everyone's faces were quite ugly, and the scenery was the same. Now even they couldn't remember how many such crypts they had encountered.
Mu Qingshan glanced at the jade slip and said bitterly: "This is the ninth one."
"Let's go!" This time it was more straightforward, with only one word.
Half an hour later, everyone appeared in a cave again.
"Let's go." This time he seemed a little weak.
"Stop." Mo Wen's voice suddenly sounded.
Shi Meng stopped: "Brother Mo, what's the matter?"
Mo Wen looked a little solemn: "We have been here before."
"What?" Shi Meng and others didn't react for a moment, but soon their expressions changed and they said urgently: "Brother Mo, this is not a joke."
"Every time we went to a cave, there were sword marks left, but there are no sword marks here!" Mu Qingshan also didn't believe it.
Mo Wen walked to a hole in the crypt without saying a word. Facing a wrinkled inner wall, a twisted spiritual light seeped out from the brown inner wall, wrapping around Mo Wen's finger like a spiritual snake.
tip.
"I have left forbidden marks in every crypt. If I guess correctly, this is the third crypt we have walked through."
Looking at the forbidden light on Mo Wen's fingertips, everyone looked pale. If what Mo Wen said was true, wouldn't the marks they made before be useless?
"Let's go back to the next crypt!"
They finally made a decision, and now they had to confirm what Mo Wen said. And the best way to confirm it was to return to the previous crypt.
This time, the more than a thousand trialists were much more cautious. It took more than half an hour to complete the half-hour journey. No surprise, a crypt appeared in front of them.
"No! No mark!"
All the testers' faces were pale, and what Mo asked next made the situation worse.
Mo Wen walked to a cave entrance and took out the forbidden mark he had left: "This is not the ninth crypt we just walked through, but the fifth!"
"Are you kidding me?"
Everyone was frightened by Mo Wen's words. So, wouldn't it mean that their hope of returning the same way was dashed?
"This is impossible! How could we enter the fifth crypt when we return through the original passage?" the representative of the Little Sword Sect force said excitedly.
Mo Wen glanced at him indifferently: "If I guess correctly, these crypts and passages are all moving."
"How is this possible? How can the crypt move on its own?"
No one believed this absurd inference. The crypt was a dead thing in the earth. How could it move on its own?
Mo Wen continued calmly: "The cave is not moving, that's because our hearts are moving."
If ordinary people heard this sentence, they would probably roll their eyes, but people with a little common sense about some forbidden formation methods would understand the mystery.
"maze!"
There are three types of sword formations and restraints according to their functions. One is the offensive forbidden formation, the second is the defensive forbidden formation, and the third is the psychedelic forbidden formation!
The maze array is an advanced application of the illusion array. They will not change the landscape, but they can affect people's minds and senses to judge the external environment by changing the flow layout of the aura of heaven and earth. They will be affected by the maze array subtly and silently.
It's so pervasive that people can't defend themselves against it.
"Building a maze based on such a huge maze is so generous!" Mu Qingshan took a breath of cold air.
Although we don’t know the specific scale of this maze, we can see from a glance that it is an extremely huge project! It’s hard to imagine who would secretly build such a large maze in this illusion!
"Gather all those who are good at formations together and work together to crack this maze!"
Several leaders made a decision after discussion. Entering the illusion trial, the most popular ones were the spirit sword masters who were good at forbidden formations. There were more than ten forbidden formation masters among the more than a thousand of them. Although their levels were not high, they were better than nothing.
More than a dozen trialists who were good at forbidden formations gathered together and racked their brains to think of ways to break the formation.
"These crypts should be the formation eyes of the maze. We must know how many formation eyes there are, and then based on the changes in the connections between the formation eyes, we can deduce the location of the formation center. Only by destroying the formation center, these formation eyes will be self-defeating."
"But, we are in a maze of formations, how can we find out how many formation eyes there are?"
"Should we explore separately?"
"It's impossible. This is a maze. Once we are separated, we may never be able to be together again."
"You can contact us with the communication sword talisman."
"Have you forgotten that the ten people we sent out at the beginning, all with sword talismans, didn't they never come back? Moreover, Zhou Mufeng and the others have been away for a long time, and there is no news about them yet. There are so many of them.
It is impossible to encounter accidents at the same time, I suspect there is a power here that can intercept the communication sword talisman!"
Mo Wen did not participate in the debate among these amateur forbidden formation masters. He had used the Yanxing Divine Forbidden City to outline nine nodes in the sea of consciousness, representing the nine different crypts they had walked through. Various lines connected these nine crypts.
Connected in series, they constantly change and evolve.
After half a quarter of an hour, Mo Wen stopped. He had too little information about this maze, so the deduction was not smooth. He had to at least learn more about the changes in the maze before he could forcefully deduce it. The Yanxing Divine Forbidden City is not omnipotent, Mo Wen said.
Ask and feel.
Just as he was considering whether to leave and act alone, a short scream suddenly came from the entrance of a cave.
Whoosh!
All the resting trialists jumped up from the ground at the same time, holding a spiritual sword in their hands, and looked at the cave from which the sound came out, as if facing a formidable enemy.
There was a flash of blood, and a bloody figure sank into the entrance of the cave and disappeared into the darkness.
"Who! Who?"
"It's Senior Brother Shen! Senior Brother Shen has gone in!" The trialist of Lingyu Sword Sect shouted urgently, and then several more figures flashed, and several trialists of Lingyu Sword Sect followed Shen Tubao into the cave entrance.
.
As soon as these people entered, the Lingyu Sword Sect's trialists could no longer stand and rushed toward the cave entrance one after another.
Lingyu Sword Sect took the lead in charging, and the already very depressing atmosphere seemed to find an outlet. Others also rushed towards the entrance of the cave, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.
"Don't mess up! Everyone, don't mess up! Damn it!" Shi Meng cursed in a low voice. The situation was out of control, and many trialists rushed into the passages of other cave entrances in a panic.
"Brother Shi, what should we do now?" Mu Qingshan asked Shi Meng.
"Try to restrain everyone! If you can, one of them is one! Don't enter the cave entrance casually, what happened just now was weird!"
Finally, the entire crypt finally calmed down under the joint suppression of Shi Meng and Mu Qingshan. Many of the testers calmed down and looked confused, as if they didn't know what had just happened.
"Count the number of people first!" Shi Meng's face turned ugly.
The counting results came out soon. Shi Meng and Mu Qingshan took a breath of cold air.
All members of the Lingyu Sword Sect left, 80% of the Wuwei Sword Sect including Zhou Qingshu disappeared, and the forces gathered by the small sword sect and casual cultivators lost nearly 200 people, and their Xuanchong Sword Sect and Hualan Sword Sect also had
More than ten people disappeared in the chaos just now.
The team of more than a thousand people was suddenly reduced by half, with more than 500 people left!
"It's bad! Xia Hongfei and the others are all gone!" Chen Tong, the representative of the Xiaojianmen power, walked over with a pale face.
"What?" Shi Meng and Mu Qingshan's expressions changed drastically at the same time, because Xia Hongfei and the others were the only trialists in the team who were good at the forbidden formation!
Was the accident just a coincidence or was it premeditated? Shi Meng and Mu Qingshan only felt creepy! dd
