Blue, Red and White Dark Abyss Cauldron

Chapter 178: Panic and Entering the Trickster Formation

Zhong Zhaokui wanted to break away and chase him, but the black-clothed man with the sword was very skilled in swordsmanship and kept biting him tightly, so he couldn't get rid of it at all. He had been immersed in the "Wind-Splitting Flying Palm" for more than ten years, but he couldn't get any advantage. He could only shout: "The thief is here, soldiers of the Golden Feather Camp, come and capture him!"

The soldiers on and below the wall heard the commander's call and rushed over, surrounding the two men who were fighting.

Seeing that more and more soldiers were surrounding him, the man in black attacked Zhong Zhaokui several times, then jumped out of the circle and fled into the dense forest outside the city.

His legs were extremely fast, and with a few leaps he disappeared into the woods. The soldiers on foot could not catch up with him at all, and the soldiers on horseback could not chase him into the woods either.

Zhong Zhaokui didn't expect that there were so many masters hiding in Jinyang City, and he was confused and frightened. However, he had seen a lot of storms, so he calmed down and divided the soldiers into three groups. One group continued to guard the city gate, one group went to track down the black-clothed man with the sword, and he led a group to track down the black-clothed boy who killed the Sha people.

The soldiers, with their armor and boots clattering, chased after him quickly.

It was late at night, there were a few stars in the sky, a half moon appeared and disappeared in the clouds, and the rocks and trees were vaguely visible in the dim light.

However, Xuanying did not know the way and could only flee in a panic.

After running for a while, he heard voices from far behind him. Turning back, he saw the light of torches half a mile behind him. He knew that it was the soldiers from Jinyang City chasing him. He thought that there were so many rocks in the mountains and it would be difficult to leave footprints on the ground. How could they be chasing him so closely?

Suddenly, he remembered the strange snake tail and thought, "Yes, that monster said his snake tail has a very good sense of smell. He must have brought Zhong Zhaokui and his men to catch up with us."

Xuanying quickened his pace and fled towards the northeast, away from Jinyang City.

After he ran for a while, the chaotic sea of ​​qi that was originally scattered by Zhong Zhaokui gradually became smooth. At this time, the original force was surging in his body, and he did not feel tired at all. There were many rocks and few trees in the mountains. He jumped over the gullies and rocks when he encountered them, and left many of the soldiers chasing behind him behind.

After running for a while, the sky gradually brightened.

Suddenly, a strange forest of stone pillars appeared not far away. Thick stone pillars ranging from ten to several feet in diameter suddenly stood up, and were as high as ten to thirty or forty feet, forming a forest of stone pillars. Many short trees and weeds grew in the gaps between the stone pillars. Mist rose, curling and giving a magical feeling.

Xuanying was secretly delighted, thinking that this was a good place to hide, and ran straight into the stone forest.

The fog in the stone forest was so thick that it was hard to see clearly. Xuanying ran so fast that he almost bumped into a stone pillar. The ground was also full of potholes of varying sizes, making it very inconvenient to walk. He had no choice but to slow down and grope his way forward carefully.

The stone pillars are either independent or clustered, in a mess, with no pattern to follow... When walking forward, suddenly a huge stone pillar appeared in front of me, blocking the way. I had to go around to the right. After a few steps, I saw four stone pillars in a row blocking the way on the right. There was a cross mark on the second of them, which was obviously carved by humans, indicating that someone had been to this place before.

After walking for a while, Xuanying suddenly heard two people talking not far ahead. He was startled. How could someone run ahead of him? Then he realized that he had been wandering around in the stone forest and had lost all sense of direction. Now he was completely in the opposite direction.

I only hear someone say, "This kid broke into the Bawang Stone Forest. Now he can't escape." The voice was exactly Zhong Zhaokui.

Another person said: "What is the Eight-Wang Stone Forest and the Nine-Wang Wild Forest? Can a forest kill people?" It was the strange snake tail with an eyeless spirit tail.

Zhong Zhaokui said, "It's the stone forest in front. My master said that this looks like a forest of strange stone pillars, but it's actually a strange formation."

Kuiwei asked, "Who is so bored as to set up a strange formation in this place?"

Zhong Zhaokui said: "According to ancient records, this strange formation has existed since ancient times and was not set up by just anyone. Even if all the spiritual kings of the four countries were used up, I'm afraid they couldn't set up such a large stone forest strange formation."

Kuiwei said, "It's natural, what's the name of a strange formation?" Suddenly, he shouted happily, "Spiritual Tail said that the boy is not far ahead, let's go and catch him!"

Zhong Zhaokui said: "You can't underestimate this place. As far as I know, it's easy to enter this strange formation, but it's hard to find the exit and get through. Those who are lucky can still get out safely, but most of those who are unlucky will get lost in it, and either starve to death or die of fright. We must leave marks along the way, otherwise..."

Without waiting for him to finish his words, Kuiwei smiled and said, "If you want to do it, do it yourself. I don't need it." He pushed his legs and rushed into the stone forest.

Xuanying thought that Zhong Zhaokui guessed that I could hear their voices, so he deliberately said that this stone forest was a "strange formation" and said that it was easy to get in but difficult to get through. He just wanted to confuse me and force me to show up. I must not fall for his trick. I walked around a few stone pillars and continued forward.

After walking for a while, I felt that I had walked more than three or four miles. Suddenly, I saw the fog in front of me become thinner. I thought that the fog was right there, so I hurried over.

When I walked past, I found that it was still a cluster of stone pillars, and they were very similar to the cluster of stone pillars I bypassed shortly after entering the stone forest. After looking carefully, I saw a cross mark carved by a knife and an axe on one of the stone pillars. They were the cluster of four stone pillars that blocked the way when I turned right before.

It turned out that after going around in circles for so long, he ended up back at the same place. Even though Xuanying was brave, he couldn't help but feel frightened at this moment - could it be true, as Zhong Zhaokui said, that he would starve to death in this stone forest?

There was a lot of noise outside the stone forest not far away, and it was obvious that more enemies were chasing after them.

Xuanying didn't know what to do, so he simply sat on the ground, closed his eyes and started thinking.

His mind had been clear since the opening of the Force a few days ago. At this moment, when he focused his mind for a moment, he involuntarily activated his Tianguan ability.

Tianguan is connected to all directions. A map of the area within a radius of 20 meters appeared in my mind, and the positions of the stone pillars were clearly visible. I couldn't help but feel overjoyed: "Tianguan actually has so many benefits!"

After knowing the relative positions of the stone pillars around you, it is like a bird flying high in the sky. You can see everything at a glance, and it becomes much easier to find a way out in this stone forest.

I thought that the Bawang Stone Forest was not that complicated, but the fog was so thick that it was difficult to remember the path in the forest, so it was easier to get lost.

Xuanying wandered around in the stone forest for about an hour, and suddenly a short path paved with hard stones appeared in front of him. It was obviously paved by humans.

However, the stone path was very short, only about two feet long, and after that there were green and yellow rocks, and then there was a patch of wild grass and bushes. Xuanying didn't think twice and pushed aside the bushes and went in.
