"I don't know what's weird about this place. Maybe it has something to do with the golden lion. Don't be careless. Let's do this. Let's camp tonight. Everyone, don't fall asleep and be alert at all times." Tianlan thought for a while and said. Naturally, the two of them had no objections.
One hour...two hours...
Three hours passed. Seeing that the sky was getting brighter and nothing happened, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Ye Yi smiled and said: "Haha, I think we are too worried and a little nervous. If the old man finds out, I don't know how he will laugh at me."
"It's always good to be careful... Wait! Did you hear anything?" Tianlan's five senses have always been sharper than ordinary people, and the slightest movement will be extremely clear in his ears. He listened carefully, and there was a rustling sound.
There was a rustling sound, like the sound of heavy objects pressing on fallen leaves.
"What? What's the sound?" Xiaotang was a little scared, holding Tianlan's sleeve with her left hand and her dark green sword with her right hand.
"Over there!" Ye Yi heard the source of the sound and pointed in the direction in front of him.
As soon as he finished speaking, a huge strange head suddenly appeared from the direction he was pointing! This strange head had a long neck, was completely black, and was covered with dark brown scales. The big head was flat, as if
It looked like it had been squeezed and was very twisted. The right eye on the head was still intact, but the left eye was a black hole.
"Ah——!" Xiaotang was startled and couldn't help but scream, "It's a python!"
"No, it's not a snake!" Tian Lan frowned and said in a deep voice.
What is this? Why can't I detect its existence mentally? Tian Lan grabbed Xiaotang's jade arm with his backhand, took a step back, and already had some intention of leaving in his heart.
The "black snake" made a piercing cry, and then the "snake body" gradually rose up. After a while, it rose to the top of the forest, with four thick and powerful black legs exposed. It turned out that this was not a snake, but a kind of neck.
A very long deer-like monster. However, its neck does not look like a neck. Instead, it can move freely like a snake's body, and can even be coiled together.
This unknown monster was unusually tall. When it stood upright, it looked like a hill. Tianlan and others compared it to ants.
"No! Run!" Tianlan shouted to Ye Yi, then pulled Xiaotang and ran in the opposite direction.
This kind of monster was simply not something they could deal with. Ye Yi still had some self-awareness, so he turned around and ran away without hesitation.
"Hiss——!" The black monster did not let them go, and even made an unpleasant sound while chasing after them. However, this monster was not fast, and it could even be said that its movements were very stiff, and the trees under its feet were too much in the way. But no matter what
The road ahead was full of twists and turns, but this monster still trudged toward Tianlan and the others resolutely.
"Tianlan, what is that?" Ye Yi shouted loudly while running.
"I don't know. But its appearance is a bit like a spiritual beast." Tian Lan glanced sideways at the black monster that was chasing after him. He didn't feel much panic in his heart. At most, he was a little confused.
"What spirit beast?" This time it was Xiaotang who was asked. She was very frightened and uneasy at first, but for some reason, when Tianlan held her hand tightly, her heart suddenly became much calmer.
"It's a kind of spiritual beast called a black-phase deer, with four legs, a curved neck, and a square head." As soon as he finished speaking, Xiaotang remembered that she had seen records of this kind of spiritual beast in books and knew about it.
Why would Tianlan say it doesn’t look like it? Because the head of a black-faced deer is square and straight, while this one’s head is flat. If you really want to say that, it’s like hitting its head with a brick.
It's flattened...but if it's flattened like this, it's impossible to survive no matter what...
Ye Yi heard the extremely unpleasant chirping sound again. Why did this thing like a deer or a snake emit such a chirping sound? Neither a deer nor a snake sounded like this. He looked back and cried out: "Ah
! It’s still chasing us! It’s really haunting!”
The three of them were in a panic and had no idea which direction they were going. They just wanted to stay as far away from the black monster as possible.
Suddenly, Tianlan spotted a familiar figure on the road ahead. He was wearing the clothes of a Golden Lion mercenary, short in stature, and carrying a bow and arrow. Who could it be if it wasn't Nangong Kui?
"Brother Tianlan? Sister Xiaotang?" Nangong Kui didn't know what he was looking at, and he didn't realize it until Tianlan and Xiaotang ran closer.
Tian Lan had no time to explain to him in detail and said in a hurry: "Nangong, leave quickly!"
"What..." Nangong Kui didn't understand the situation and froze on the spot. Tianlan had no time to pay attention to him anymore and pulled Xiaotang past him.
"Silly boy, run away! Why are you still standing there!" Ye Yi from behind also saw Nangong Kui, greeted him, and without waiting for his response, he directly dragged him away.
"Hey, wait a minute! That's over there..." Nangong Kui was about to resist, when suddenly a harsh cry came. He was startled, and when he looked back hurriedly, he found that it was an extremely ugly monster.
I was so frightened that I forgot everything except running with all my strength under my feet.
Half an hour later, the shadow of the black monster finally disappeared. The four of them were so exhausted that they lay on the ground imageless one by one.
"Ah——!!" Nangong Kui suddenly shouted. Ye Yi, who was closest to him, was frightened and complained: "What are you doing! You want to scare people to death!"
"It's not good! It's not good! What to do! We're coming in!" Nangong Kui didn't know what terrible thing he thought of, and he was so scared.
Ye Yi fell back weakly and said: "What's wrong? Where did we go? You should explain it clearly!"
Nangong Kui was stunned and said with a bitter look on his face: "I don't know either..."
"Then you're making such a fuss?!" Ye Yi was very unhappy.
"It's indeed wrong." Tian Lan stood up at some point and looked around carefully.
"What?" Ye Yi could ignore Nangong Kui, but he had absolute trust in Tian Lan. After hearing this, he cheered up and stood up.
It turned out that they had reached a canyon while running. The canyon was very wide, and the top of the cliff didn't look very high. Because of the thick morning fog, they didn't notice that they came to such a place for a while.
"Is there something wrong?" Ye Yi looked around and found nothing special, except that the fog was a bit heavy...
Tian Lan watched silently for a while, then turned around gently. His hair slowly fell from his shoulders as he moved, and the bangs on his forehead floated slightly, revealing his black and silver eyes.
.The thin silver threads formed mysterious patterns that were constantly changing in his pupils. Once you looked at them, you seemed to be attracted to them. They were of indescribable beauty.
For a moment, Xiaotang, Nangong Kui and Ye Yi were all stunned on the spot, looking into his eyes stupidly.
"I'm sorry..." Tianlan knew that the "Xuanyan" was too mysterious and that people other than the formation master could easily be fascinated by it, so he withdrew all the spiritual power poured into his eyes. The three of them quickly returned to their original state.
"Tianlan, what are those? Your eyes were so beautiful just now." Ye Yi still missed the beautiful eyes just now and couldn't help but ask.
"That's the 'Xuan Yan', which is a special mental power application technique used to see through the appearance of formations and point directly to the origin. Any formation master can do this." He smiled slightly and did not explain much. But Nangong Kui was
Startled, he yelled again.
"You're sincere, aren't you!" Ye Yi's mouth twitched and he flicked his forehead hard with his finger. Why does this kid like to scream so much? Can't you just be honest for a while?
Nangong Kui ignored him, but looked at Tianlan with admiration and said: "Brother Tianlan, you are actually an array master? That's amazing! I have never heard of an array master as young as you!
And the black eyes are really beautiful!”
Tian Lan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, showing an expression that was half-smiling, and said: "Now is not the time to talk about this. I just saw that we accidentally entered a formation and are now trapped in it." As he said this,
, casually released a wind blade towards the nearby stone wall. The strange thing is that the wind blade was swallowed up by a layer of gray halo before it touched the stone wall.
"What?! How could this happen!" Nangong Kui shouted in great distress.
