Chapter 426 Completely Lost
Aticha frowned and shouted, "Nonsense! We have never entered Jiufeng Mountain before."
"No, I didn't say that we've been here before today. I mean, this place is what we just walked through..." The junior brother pointed to the broken and burnt vines on the ground and said, "Look, these vines have attacked us before. These cuts and these burning traces are all caused by our previous spells."
Hearing his words, Aticha and others subconsciously lowered their heads and looked at the vines on the ground. Sure enough, they saw many familiar places.
"Did we say that after walking for so long, we were not able to reach the mountain, but kept spinning at the entrance of Jiufeng Mountain?" Another junior brother widened his eyes and looked in disbelief.
"But we have obviously been on the uphill road, but we have not gone downhill road!" said Zhuo Xin, the only remaining Chinese practitioner.
Even if the fog can affect people's vision, the feeling of walking on the uphill and downhill is different. Ordinary people can distinguish this, let alone a practitioner in the five internal organs realm.
Aticha and the four of them were sure that before this, they had been walking uphill, not to mention going downhill, there was not even a flat road. Since they were always going uphill, how could they go back to the foot of the mountain?
"I understand, this is just a clumsy trick."
After thinking for a while, Aticha suddenly sneered and said with disdain:
"These corpses and vines were brought up from the foot of the mountain. They deliberately created such a scene, hoping that we would mistakenly think that we were walking back to the foot of the mountain, and thus we were confused. Unfortunately, this person didn't know. We were relying on the True God Compass to guide the direction along the way. No matter how powerful the fog on Jiufeng Mountain is, can there be problems with the True God Compass?"
Aticha Yangyang's true god compass in his hand.
Seeing this compass, his two junior brothers also felt relieved and believed his speculation: "Yes, we have the True God compass in our hands. This compass was made by our master, and the runes on it were written with his essence and blood. No matter how powerful the fog in Jiufeng Mountain is, it is useless in front of the True God compass."
Zhuo Xin then knew the origin of the True God Compass and believed Aticha's speculation.
How can a magic weapon made of the essence and blood of a master of the Seven Soul Realm affect a small fog?
Unfortunately, they never thought that what was shrouded in Jiufeng Mountain was not ordinary fog, but mirage released by the mirage girl.
On the sea, a powerful mirage released by a powerful mirage can not only block the sight, but also form a illusion world. Even the immortals and gods may not be able to distinguish the true or false, and they will be trapped in it!
Although the strength of Mirage Girl has not reached that level, she has the inheritance of the Dragon King of Jing, and the material she uses to create illusion fog is the spiritual spring water that is constantly in the spiritual spring.
The spiritual spring on Jiufeng Mountain is the gathering point of the dragon veins of the Longmen Mountains. The spiritual spring water emerging from it contains a high concentration of spiritual energy.
After several conditions were combined, the fog that covered Jiufeng Mountain was extremely powerful.
The previous two attacks were not only to hurt the enemy, but also to make Aticha and others panic, completely affected by the fog, and fall into trouble! When they were affected by the fog, even if they had the compass made by Bacha in their hands, they would not be able to escape.
Aticha didn't know these inside stories. He only thought that this fog was a slightly more advanced trick... Well, it also has limited traps and alert functions, but that's all.
After pondering for a moment, an excitement suddenly flashed in his eyes and he smiled and said, "Since the other party used this little trick to deceive us, it means that there may be no traps on the mountain. And it also means that the place where we are is not far from the hiding place of Luo Yun's relatives and friends!"
"That's right!"
"It must be so!"
His two junior brothers also lit up their eyes, patted their thighs, and laughed excitedly.
Only Zhuo Xin couldn't help but frown. He was not as optimistic as Aticha and the other three, and wanted to remind him, but Aticha and the other two couldn't listen at all. He just urged him to go forward quickly and not let Luo Yun's relatives and friends run away.
The four of them continued to move forward, and for some time, they still couldn't see Luo Yun's relatives and friends. On the contrary, they once again saw the bodies of three companions and the vine wreckage all over the ground.
"Come again?" Aticha frowned, thinking that this trick was obviously useless, so why do people hiding in the fog still enjoy it?
His two junior brothers were also confused.
Zhuo Xin quickly stepped forward and looked at a tree on the side of the road. His face suddenly changed and he said in a trembling voice: "This is not a formal suspicion array! We just went back! This is where we were attacked for the first time!"
Aticha wanted to reprimand, but suddenly hesitated. He swallowed the words that had already reached his mouth, walked quickly to Zhuo Xin and asked, "What have you found?"
"I quietly released a spell on this tree before." Zhuo Xin pointed to the tree in front of him, pointed his finger a few times, and quickly recited a spell. An arrow symbol suddenly appeared on the trunk that was originally not special. The arrow pointed to the front where they were going.
Aticha suddenly felt creepy, especially when he felt like there were countless steel needles piercing the head, which was very painful.
He was a little reluctant to accept reality, and opened his dry mouth and said, "Is this... Could someone imitate you and release this spell?"
Zhuo Xin shook his head and said with a sad face: "It's unlikely. First of all, my spell release is very hidden. Even if you haven't discovered it, it's even more impossible for others to discover it. In addition, if this spell was not released by me, then I have no way to let the images left on the trunk appear. We may have been trapped in a thick fog maze and can only spin on the spot..."
Aticha opened his mouth wide and said, "Impossible, this is impossible, we have a true god compass..."
"Actually, I had a question just now." Zhuo Xin glanced at the compass in his hand and said, "Your compass is pointing to Luo Yun's relatives and friends, right?"
"That's right." Aticha nodded.
Zhuo Xin said: "According to the situation we have learned, there are only Luo Yun and his relatives and friends in Jiufeng Mountain. If these corpses and vines are really arranged by someone from behind us. Then the person who transports them can only be Luo Yun's relatives and friends. Logically speaking, they all walked behind us, and the pointer of this compass should also point behind us. But it has always pointed to the front and has never changed."
"This..." Aticha's face changed suddenly, as did his two junior brothers.
At this moment, they all realized that something was wrong and the seriousness of the matter.
"Are we... really trapped in the fog illusion, and even the true god compass was affected?!"
"Let's keep moving forward!" After a moment of silence, Aticha said, "We each use spells that only we can release and crack, leave a mark here, and then move forward. If we are really trapped in the fog illusion, we will definitely return here and meet them again..."
He didn't say what would happen if he really fell into the fog illusion, and the other three didn't ask.
Because they all know very well that they can only be trapped and dying in it!
The four of them were soon around here, releasing spells that only they could, and remembering the locations of the flowers, plants, trees and stones nearby, and then continuing to move forward.
After a long time, they returned here again.
This time, the four of them said nothing and went straight to the place where they released their spells. After some inspection, they found that the spells they released were all there.
They did walk back to where they were before!
