Chapter 2938 Formation?
"What's wrong?"
Seeing that Xiao Shun's face was strange, Xiao An and Xiao Wen immediately came forward.
Facing the puzzled eyes of the two, Xiao Shun raised his hand to point to the strange-looking tree ahead.
"We've just been here!"
Xiaowen couldn't help but widen her eyes: "What!?"
Xiao An's expression was exactly the same as hers at this moment, and he looked at the crooked tree in front of him with a look of horror.
At this time, Xiao Shun frowned and said, "When I was leading the way, I always paid attention to the scenery around me. The tree is so weird that I naturally didn't escape my observation. But we had already passed by here before, so why did we come back now?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao An said thoughtfully: "Brother Xiao, it is not surprising that there are many trees in the forest as if they are cows, and some of them look the same. What's more, we just want to leave, and it's impossible to turn them back."
Xiaowen echoed: "How could we go straight forward, but how could we go backwards!"
"Is this the case? Why not do an experiment?"
After saying that, Xiao Shun took out a small dagger and walked to the crooked tree, then marked a well-identified mark on it.
After doing all this, he walked back to Xiaowen and the others: "Now that the mark is left, we can determine whether we are going around in circles."
Immediately afterwards, the three of them set off again.
During this period, none of them spoke, but kept paying attention to the scenery ahead at any time.
After about a stick of incense, I didn’t see the crooked tree, which made Xiaowen’s originally tense heartstring relax, and she smiled and said, “It must have been the young master who missed the truth just now, and we were not in circles at all.”
Xiao Shun did not comment on her words.
Although everyone will encounter the situation of mistakes, Xiao Shun did not have any effect on his own keen eyes. Moreover, he has only been away for a short time and cannot make any effective judgment at all.
Another stick of incense passed, and Xiao Shun, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped and then said lightly: "We are back!"
After hearing this, Xiaowen and Xiao An looked forward at the same time, and they indeed saw the crooked tree and the five-star mark on the trunk!
Xiaowen was stunned: "This, how is this possible?"
Since she heard Xiao Shun's words just now, she has been paying attention to her feet at any time and is sure that she and others have been walking forward along a straight line, and there is no possibility of deviation.
Even so, I finally got around!
"What the hell is going on?" Xiao An asked with a pale face.
Xiao Shun replied: "It should be this heavy fog that affects our judgment ability, so we are trapped here!"
Human senses can actually be confused by some things. In the thick fog, what they can see is limited, so it is normal to get lost because of this.
Of course, this is only for ordinary people. After all, for cultivators, losing direction is a very rare scene!
Xiao Shun and Xiaowen are both cultivators, and they also think that they were walking in a straight line just now, and it is usually impossible to turn backwards.
All of this is obviously the fog that is causing trouble!
Thinking of this, Xiao Shun immediately closed his eyes and found some clues.
Seeing this, Xiaowen and the others did not disturb him, but waited quietly.
After a while, Xiao Shun opened his eyes and shook his head in disappointment: "It's still the same as before, no abnormalities were found."
Xiao An said with a sad face: "What the hell is going on? Are we going to be trapped here like this?"
Now he just wants to return to Heifeng Village sooner and then take the exchanged evil-exorcist pill to treat his mother, but now he is trapped in the fog, which makes him extremely anxious.
Xiaowen stepped forward and patted Xiao An on the shoulder, then looked at Xiao Shun firmly: "Don't panic, young master will definitely find a way to leave here!"
She was very confident in Xiao Shun, but Xiao An's face was not much better because of this, and she still looked impatient.
Xiao Shun also understood Xiao An's mood at this time, but without any clues, it was difficult for him to find the door that left the place.
In the following observation, he suddenly felt aroused in his heart and said to himself: "If I guessed correctly, a magic array should have been laid here."
"Magic Formation?" Xiaowen said in surprise: "Who from the deep mountains and forests will set up the formation here?"
This place is already in the hinterland of the Wolong Mountains, and is deserted everywhere. How could ordinary people leave such a move here?
Facing Xiaowen's astonished gaze, Xiao Shun shook his head helplessly: "I don't know what the specific reason is, but if we want to leave this fog, we can only find the array eye."
The only way to break the formation is to find the array eye and then destroy it. However, the white fog covers a very wide range and has a very low visibility in it. It is easy to imagine how difficult it is to find the array eye!
The most important thing is that this place can block the perception of the cultivator, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of breaking the deadlock, and even Xiao Shun is a little helpless about it.
Xiao An couldn't help asking: "Brother Xiao, do you know where that eye is?"
Xiao Shun replied: "We have not found it yet, so we can only search it slowly!"
Xiaowen urged: "Then act quickly, otherwise it will be even harder to find when it gets dark."
They have been in the fog for a few hours, and then in the evening for a while. If they cannot find some clues before dark, it will be a very special thing to spend the night in such a strange place.
Thinking of this, Xiao Shun thought and said, "We walked forward and retreated here before, but now it is better to do the opposite. Let's see if the situation will be like this!"
Immediately afterwards, they walked back along the way.
I don’t know how long it took, but I still returned to the same place strangely.
Looking at the crooked tree beside him, Xiao Shun sighed: "Oh, it's not a solution to continue like this!"
At this time, the brightness around had weakened a lot, indicating that the sky had gradually become dim. By the time of night, something strange might happen here.
Looking at the white fog surrounding the sky and the sun, Xiao An said with a sad face: "If it weren't for this heavy fog, we might have arrived in Black Wind Village!"
Xiao Shun comforted: "Don't worry, we will definitely find a way to leave."
Although he said that, he had no choice but to do so now. After all, as long as he could not find the place where the array eye was, he could only be trapped here forever.
The sky gradually dimmed, and Xiao Shun and others did not continue to move forward, but sat under the crooked tree with great worries, looking for ways to resolve the crisis.
The only thing to be grateful for now is that their food rations are sufficient, and even if they stay here for several days, they don’t have to worry about food.
After walking for a day, everyone was exhausted at this time. Even if they were extremely tired, no one could calm down and go to rest.
Xiao Shun felt that if this continues, it would be very likely to affect morale, so he reminded the other two: "You should take a rest first, otherwise if something special happens, it is very likely that you will not be able to guarantee your own safety."
Xiaowen and Xiaoan had the time to rest, but they knew that Xiao Shun was considering the overall situation, so they leaned under the tree to close their eyes and adjusted.
Looking at the sadness that could not be hidden on their faces, Xiao Shun shook his head helplessly.
He actually encountered such a situation in front of him several times, but compared with the current experiences, he was simply a slim figure.
After all, Xiao Shun has not even found a trace of clues at the moment, so it is not easy to get out of it smoothly!
Pressing the annoyed in his heart, his eyes flashed: "Since it is a formation, there must be rules to follow, but I did not notice the rules of the formation operation here. Could it be that my previous guess was wrong?"
After saying that, Xiao Shun was a little unbelievable and activated his spiritual eyes to observe the surroundings again.
