"Xiaoya, let me count. We'll fly together into the sky, then I'll fire a signal flare, and you can keep flying and see if we can see it."

"good."

Ji Fanya had considered ways to leave the chaotic rock forest from the air, but this place was really strange. No matter how high he flew, the rocks always appeared at the same height above his head.

According to Ji Fanya's thinking, it shouldn't be that the rocks in the chaotic stone forest can grow taller, but rather that there is a very terrifying maze here.

Upon closer examination, the way those white stones moved seemed to bear the marks of an array.

However, this formation also has a flaw, namely the fog.

Although the fog has been spreading around, it does not increase in height as the rocks rise. Therefore, it is possible to see the signal flare once the fog is no longer obstructing the view.

Of course, this is on the premise that they must be in the same space.

Only in this way can they possibly see the same scenery; otherwise, the space they are in may be distorted due to the maze.

"Come on, I'll count to three!"

Because this kind of thing requires a lot of tacit understanding between the two people, both of them mobilized their maximum focus.

"One, two..."

Over there, Zhan Wushuang began to count, "Three!"

"call out!"

As soon as the words fell, the two of them took off into the air, rushing towards the sky at the same frequency and speed.

"Bang..."

The two were not only husband and wife, but also old comrades-in-arms. Their tacit understanding was impeccable, and the signal flare appeared perfectly in Ji Fanya's field of vision.

"how?"

After firing the signal flare, Zhan Wushuang asked nervously.

"I saw you. Wait for me, and take care of yourself."

As Ji Fanya spoke, he immediately sat on the Yuan Tun Ding and sped towards Zhan Wushuang's direction.

At this moment, Zhan Wushuang, lacking the protection of a superb magical treasure like the Yuan Tun Ding, and with the destructive power of the stone being quite terrifying, had already sustained numerous injuries. Furthermore, the originally chaotic rocks around her had now formed an encirclement, tightly surrounding her.

Of course, due to the low visibility caused by the white fog, Zhan Wushuang couldn't see this himself, but he vaguely felt that the space he could move in was gradually getting smaller.

"Oh no!"

By the time she noticed, the square white stones around her had formed an iron barrel, with no gaps at all, and were rapidly shrinking towards the center!

"ah!"

The moment the stone touched my body, I felt an excruciating pain, as if my flesh had been bitten hard, leaving me a bloody mess in an instant.

"Owner!"

Upon seeing this, Akabane shouted and immediately revealed his true form, shielding her completely under his enormous wings.

"Hey..."

Even the Vermilion Bird in its true form let out a shrill scream after touching those stones.

"Akaba, go back! I don't want you to be like this!"

Zhan Wushuang's eyes reddened with anxiety. "Change back quickly, I can hold on."

"Master, it is Akabane's responsibility to protect you!"

However, Chi Yu did not waver in the slightest, even though Zhan Wushuang could smell the blood and felt a dampness around them.

"Akaba, you...you've lost so much blood, you're going to die!"

Zhan Wushuang knew that the dampness around him was none other than the blood flowing from Chi Yu's body!

This chaotic rocky forest is truly bizarre; even a divine beast like the Vermilion Bird could be severely injured here!

"It's alright. Akabane is so big, he can withstand this little bit of blood."
