Chapter 168 Disappeared
Li Chuyi was shocked. He was exhausted and just about to dodge, but his feet gave way and he was hit by a grass stem. I hurriedly activated my magic power to shake it open, but the grass stem was extremely flexible. Even after being shaken several times, it was only slightly deformed and could not be shaken open at all.
Seeing that his magic power was ineffective, he drew out the long sword behind him and slashed at the grass stems with all his strength. The sharp long sword roared towards the grass stems with the blessing of magic power, but it was like hitting the grass stems in the mud. The grass stems were only slightly damaged under the smooth touch, but were not cut off by the sword.
"I'll go, what the hell is this!"
Li Chuyi was startled, and he hurriedly struck a few more swords, finally cutting off the grass stems that had wrapped around Dao's waist. The broken grass fell to the ground and twisted like a snake for a long time before coming to rest. It was extremely strange.
Touching the cold sweat on his forehead, Li Chuyi was about to say something, but he was shocked to find that the grass around him was twisting and turning into long green snakes sweeping toward him. It took him so much effort to get even one blade of grass. Seeing the countless green grasses coming at once, his heart felt cold.
Fortunately, Ziyuan followed him closely. After clearing the grass stalks that were wrapped around her body, she stepped forward and stood in front of Li Chuyi. Looking at the giant grass dancing in the sky, her eyes flashed with cold light on her cold and pretty face. Purple mist rose up all over his body, tightly wrapping the two of them inside.
The green snakes roared across the sky, but when they touched the purple mist, they melted like spring snow under the scorching sun, turning into fly ash and scattering around.
Purple mist is the condensed death energy of Zi Yuan's own ghost power. After she practiced the "Book of Netherworld", the already weird purple death energy became highly corrosive and could annihilate all life. Although this grass stem is strange and difficult to deal with, it is still invincible when it encounters Zi Yuan's death energy, and its life is completely extinguished.
The unconscious green snakes come one after another, like moths to the flame, but they are not endless after all. When all the surrounding grass withered and turned into a withered yellow patch, all the green snakes finally disappeared.
The purple energy subsided, and the two of them looked at the late autumn-like grass around them, their faces not looking good.
This was just the beginning of the penetration and he encountered such a powerful restriction. If he forced his way in again, Li Chuyi couldn't guarantee that Zi Yuan would be able to save the day every time.
"Are you still going in?" Zi Yuan looked around cautiously.
Li Chuyi gritted his teeth and struggled for a long time. Thinking of the countless pursuers behind him, he finally nodded fiercely.
Although he was already in the illusion formation, he could not guarantee whether they had disappeared from the outside. He could only rest assured when he walked to the center of the formation. Even if they can't reach the center, the deeper they go, the less likely they are to be discovered.
"Let's go, but don't worry, I'll take a look first."
The yin and yang eye was activated to the extreme, and he endured the dizziness caused by mental overdraft. Li Chuyi looked ahead and took a closer look.
Before what happened, he actually felt something strange, but since he didn't understand the formation, he didn't care. Looking carefully at this time, the grass in front of him was indeed somewhat different in his eyes.
The breeze blows, and the green grass sways in the wind. It seems to be normal, but in Li Chuyi's eyes, it is completely different.
So regular!
Each blade of grass appears to be falling in the same direction, but there are subtle differences in how it falls. In the world of Yin and Yang Dao Eyes, where the black and white are distinct, the chaotic green grass turns into strips of grass, which rise and fall according to their own strange laws, and combine with each other to form waves of grass.
In his mind, the entire grassland is like a constantly rotating disk, with countless fast or slow grass belts interlocking to form it. The grass in front of him is just a corner of this disk, so these There is a slight difference in the direction of the grass when it falls.
He could see it, but Li Chuyi, who didn't understand the formation at all, had no solution. He had arranged an illusion array, but it was based on what the Taoist priests taught him, and he didn't understand the reason at all. At this time, facing the large formation in front of him, he could only look forward and sigh.
"If I had known earlier, I would have learned point formation from the Taoist priests, even if I only had a superficial knowledge!"
Last time he suffered a loss from the formation at the Burial King's Place of Death, and this time he encountered this situation again, Li Chuyi felt a little sorry for himself.
Listening to the sound of sound breaking through the air getting closer and closer behind him, the little fat man gritted his teeth.
"Let's go as deep as we can. As long as the bastards behind us can't find us, we'll get out as soon as they leave!"
Ziyuan nodded without any objection. She has a cold personality. She has followed Li Chuyi until today. As long as it is not a matter of principle, she will basically listen to his ideas and rarely express her own opinions.
Besides, this illusory formation was extremely powerful, and she could only follow Li Chuyi as she couldn't see anything strange at all.
Holding the sword tightly in his hand and holding Zi Yuan tightly, Li Chuyi slowly walked inward with his eyes widened.
Not long after, on the hill where the two disappeared, monks with powerful auras flew towards them one after another, filling the sky within a few breaths.
Looking at the empty hills at their feet, the leaders Nan Li and Xu Qianguan couldn't help but glance at each other, both showing surprise.
"The breath disappeared here, how could there be no one there?" Xu Qianguan frowned and glanced back and forth with his spiritual mind.
Nan Li pondered for a moment, then reached out and took out a small mouse.
The little mouse is about the size of a palm, with gray-brown fur without a trace of color, and its round eyes are extremely smart. After coming out, he first looked around, then turned to look at Nanli.
"Go and see if there is any secret." Nan Li said lightly.
The little mouse was extremely intelligent and could actually understand human speech. After hearing Nan Li's instructions, he immediately nodded and turned into a phantom with a "swish" sound and ran out.
"Mouse seeking fate, Old Ghost Nan, you are so lucky!" Looking at the little mouse busy around, Xu Qianguan's face was full of envy.
Nan Li smiled proudly and didn't say much.
The Fate-Seeking Rat is a variant of the monster beast. Its real name is the Potian God Rat. Although it is a monster, it is extremely docile and very close to people.
They are born with an innate magical power that allows them to sense the secrets around them. Whether it is an illusion array, a secret treasure or a hidden trap, it is almost impossible to escape their senses. Even the monks' spells will be seen through by them, and they will look for loopholes in them to let them know. The spell fails and is destroyed. It is even said that even the vast and unpredictable way of heaven will be found and broken in front of this kind of divine object, so it is called the heaven-breaking rat.
But the monks prefer to nickname this strange beast as the fate-seeking rat, which means seeking opportunities and avoiding disasters.
The pure-blooded Fate-Seeking Rat is pure white and flawless. It is said to be invincible and unbreakable in the world. Its own demonic power is also extremely powerful. It is said that it can fight with a real immortal. But they only appeared in ancient legends, and they were extremely rare at that time. Later monks had almost never seen them, let alone living ones, even corpses.
The fate-seeking rats that the monks now refer to are their mixed-blood descendants. Although their bloodlines are mixed, they are quite rare. The purer the bloodline, the closer the fur will be to pure white. The fate-seeking rat in Nan Li's hand has gray-brown fur, which is also an extremely rare treasure.
If it weren't for the inappropriate time here, Xu Qianguan would even have the intention to snatch it directly.
With the help of the Fate-Seeking Rat, everyone no longer had to worry and stayed quietly, waiting for the Fate-Seeking Rat to find out.
As time passed, the relief on everyone's faces gradually turned into seriousness, and Nan Li's brows became more and more frowning.
Finally, the fate-seeking mouse stopped its investigation, trotted all the way to Nan Li's body with its short legs, stood upright, and shook its head towards him in a humane manner.
"No?!"
Nan Li's face darkened, and Xu Qianguan also looked ugly.
They searched for the breath and chased them all the way here, but the breath was cut off here. The two people must have disappeared here, and they didn't know where they were hidden.
But not even the Fate-seeking Rat was found, which made everyone unbelievable. They all looked around, scanning back and forth with their spiritual thoughts, but still found nothing.
"Why did it disappear? Could it be that it was moved into the void?" Nanli murmured to himself.
"Impossible!" Xu Qianguan waved his hand and said categorically, "The void is moving, Nan Old Ghost, are you awake? There is no teleportation formation here at all. With their cultivation, let alone breaking through the void, even if it is true Once broken, the turbulence in the void rift alone will tear them into pieces!"
Nan Li naturally knew that, and he just said that. Just thinking about it carefully, his expression changed and he shook his head slightly.
"uncertain!"
Xu Qianguan frowned, and Nan Li said in a deep voice: "Wenli sent a message saying that the kid suddenly appeared and fell from the sky with a gourd-shaped magic weapon. From his words, it seemed that he had broken into this place from the void. Falling here. If this is the case, then with that magic weapon, he may not be able to break through the void again!"
Xu Qianguan's face tightened, remembering that Xu Shuyang seemed to have mentioned this time when he sent the letter. He didn't pay attention to it at the time. Now when he heard Nan Li say this, he also felt a little enlightened.
Silently sensing the surroundings, and still finding nothing after countless scans with his spiritual mind, Xu Qianguan waved his hand without giving up.
"Look! Search inch by inch! Search this mountain for me, even if there is a trace of clues!"
"Yes!" Everyone in the Xu family obeyed the order and scattered out, each looking for a direction and starting to investigate carefully.
When Nan Li saw this, he nodded behind him, and the Nan family monk flew out and joined the exploring team.
Although the hill is not small, it is nothing in front of a group of monks in the God Refining Stage. From time to time, they would bombard any suspicious places. Explosions sounded one after another, and the green hills were turned over from top to bottom, turning into bare mounds.
During this period, some monks walked around the phantom array, but they felt nothing as they were distorted by the phantom array. Their senses passed by, and even after the grass around the array was turned into dirt, the phantom array showed a shocked look. But the change did not show any abnormality.
After being bombarded several times, the entire hill was even lowered by one level. The monks from the two families who had not noticed anything returned to Nan Li and Xu Qianguan with helpless expressions.
"Elder, nothing was found."
Nan Li, who had already known the result, couldn't help but glance at Xu Qianguan. Seeing that the other person's eyes were filled with helplessness, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
After thinking for a while, he suddenly raised his voice.
"Little friends from the human race and fellow Taoists from the ghost race, whether you are here or not, I have to tell you that this time things will not be understood like this. As long as you do not leave this grassland, then our two families will eventually kill you. Xun Dao. I have always disliked killings. I hope you can come forward to clarify the misunderstanding, so as not to end up dead! "
The powerful voice echoed around, but there was no response.
Xu Qianguan smiled coldly when he saw this, and said loudly and fiercely: "You two can't run away, so come out quickly if you know what's going on. If I'm in a good mood, I might even keep your whole body! Otherwise, I'll find you by myself." I will let you know what life is worse than death!”
Hearing Xu Qianguan's threat, Nan Li frowned, but didn't say much.
The voice floated back and forth, like Nanli, without any reply.
After waiting for a long time, Nan Li shook his head helplessly, turned around and waved to the Nan family monks.
"Let's go."
Seeing the people of the Nan family leaving, Xu Qianguan hesitated for a moment, but his face darkened unwillingly.
"Let's go, keep flying forward. I don't believe that this person and a ghost can disappear out of thin air like this!" After saying that, he flew forward with an angry face. The Xu family monk behind him didn't dare to do anything. If you object, hurry up and follow.
