Chapter 331 The Aura of the White Tiger

This place is sparsely populated, and I don't know where Jiang Ran got the idea that it was a treasure land with excellent feng shui, and worth coming here to scout out.

The two looked at each other, a hint of hesitation flashing in their eyes.

“This place…” Si Youlin murmured, raising his eyes to scan his surroundings, his brows furrowing slightly.

Si Zuochen's eyes flickered slightly. After a moment of silence, he said in a deep voice, "Let's go."

After saying that, he walked straight in. The road was rugged, and Si Youlin couldn't help but complain, "Who would choose to settle here in such a desolate place?"

Si Zuochen did not respond; his brows drooped slightly, but a hint of worry flashed across his face.

Jiang Ran came to this kind of place without saying a word. If the person behind it gets wind of it and wants to take action against her, she will have no way to avoid it.

Coming alone to this remote and desolate place is far too risky.

The two walked for about twenty minutes, still not out of the woods, when a hint of restlessness flashed in Si Youlin's eyes. He looked around at the surroundings and tentatively asked, "Brother, have you noticed that we've been going in circles here?"

Upon hearing this, Si Zuochen paused, stood still, and looked up. All he could see were tree trunks obscured by large trees, making it impossible to discern any direction.

Left with no other option, Si Zuochen took out a handkerchief from his pocket and tied it to a nearby tree branch. Upon seeing this, Si Youlin immediately understood: "You're planning to use this as a landmark?"

"Hmm," Si Zuochen responded softly, then waved to him before walking away.

Ten minutes later, Si Youlin looked at the familiar handkerchief in front of him, his expression changed drastically, a look of panic flashed across his face, he pointed in that direction and cried out in fear, "How did we get back again?"

"Could it be that we've encountered a ghost wall?!"

Hearing his guess, Si Zuochen's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately rebuked him sharply, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

His brows were furrowed, a dark glint in his eyes, and his gaze was fixed on a large rock not far away. His expression was unreadable. After a moment's thought, he asked in confusion, "This rock... I don't remember it being here just now?"

Upon hearing this, Si Youlin turned his head and noticed the stone. He narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze flickering. After thinking carefully for a moment, he said repeatedly, "That's right! That stone was right at our entrance!"

He remembered clearly that he had taken a few extra glances at the strangely shaped rock before coming in.

Upon hearing this, Si Zuochen's expression changed, and a hint of unease flashed across Si Youlin's face. He took out his watch to try and contact Jiang Ran's exact location, but it showed no signal.

Seeing this, Si Youlin looked up at Si Zuochen, his eyes asking for his opinion.

Si Zuochen's eyes narrowed slightly. Under these circumstances, they could no longer risk continuing the search. He then said in a deep voice, "Let's go out first."

"Mmm," Si Youlin responded repeatedly, glancing at the stone before leaving, feeling that something was off about it.

The two walked out in the same direction they came in, only to find themselves back at the starting point after going around in circles.

Si Zuochen instantly realized the seriousness of the situation. He was now in a difficult predicament, caught between a rock and a hard place, as if he were trapped inside.

Upon seeing this scene, Si Youlin felt a surge of fear. Si Zuochen had an exceptional memory, let alone the ability to easily find his way around.

If the previous wandering was due to unfamiliarity with the location, then now that I've walked the same path before, I shouldn't be making mistakes...

Thinking of this, Si Youlin felt a pang of panic and asked in a low voice, "Brother, don't you feel that something is wrong here?"

Si Zuochen remained silent, raising his eyes to look around, his gaze darkening.

In this situation, he was actually quite afraid, but since Si Youlin was already feeling fear, if he showed even a hint of fear, it would only increase the anxiety of both of them.

Therefore, he could only feign composure by remaining silent.

Then, in a deep voice, he reassured her, "Don't worry, we'll find a way out eventually."

Originally, he didn't believe in ghosts and gods at all, but ever since Jiang Ran became proficient in the art of Xuanhuang, they listened to his explanations and gained some understanding, and had to respect such things.

Just as Si Zuochen was at a loss, a wisp of evil energy suddenly emerged in their field of vision. However, to them, it appeared no different from before, and they could not see anything unusual about it.

After all, although they were born with the destiny of dragons and tigers and had unique advantages, they had not yet opened their Heavenly Eye. They could only vaguely feel that the surrounding air had become somewhat oppressive, but could not perceive anything else.

The two looked at each other, pondering how to get out of this "maze-like" place. Evil energy swirled around them unchecked, seemingly eager to invade.

Although they lacked consciousness, they instinctively feared the dragon and tiger aura emanating from them. Just then, a sound came from somewhere, and Si Zuochen and Si Youlin looked puzzled and hurriedly looked in that direction.

But the yin energy seemed to have received some kind of command, and suddenly swarmed towards the two of them.

Si Zuochen instantly felt a cold wind blow in the atmosphere, and his eyes were instantly blinded by the flying leaves. The sky suddenly turned gloomy, and the surroundings were filled with a deathly atmosphere. Si Youlin hid behind Si Zuochen and felt a chill run through his body, chilling him to the bone.

Just as the evil energy was about to invade their bodies, Si Zuochen felt a surge of heat stirring within him, trying to burst out of his body.

His brows furrowed, his face hardened, and with a loud shout to the sky, the phantom of tiger energy burst forth from his body and rushed straight towards the evil energy.

The evil forces were powerless against the illusions of true gods like the dragon and tiger; they crumbled instantly as soon as the illusions appeared.

Meanwhile, Jiang Ran, holding the Bagua, was selecting a place that she considered a paradise, but there were still some complicated issues that required careful consideration.

Just then, the sky suddenly changed. She vaguely sensed something and looked into the distance, where she saw the true form of the tiger appear high in the sky, looking down at the swarm of ants.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Ran was immediately startled. She quickly put down the Bagua mirror in her hand and turned around to run in that direction.

The dragon and tiger signs will only choose one person to be their master, which is obviously forced by the situation, and the people in danger are probably Si Zuochen and Si Youlin.

Such a commotion, that even she was shaken, shows what the situation must have been like over there.

On the other side, after the White Tiger's aura erupted, the Yin energy quickly dissipated, and the sky instantly brightened, as if everything that had just happened was nothing more than an illusion.

Si Zuochen and Si Youlin didn't know exactly what had happened, but the sudden change in the sky was definitely an unusual phenomenon. They exchanged a glance, a look of shock flashing across their faces.

Then they heard hurried, rustling footsteps not far away. Si Zuochen frowned slightly, worried that bad guys might appear, and hurriedly pulled Si Youlin aside to hide.

I stared coldly in the direction from which the sound came, and after a short while, I saw a familiar figure.

Jiang Ran rushed in this direction, only to find the place deserted, a look of confusion flashing across her face.

He couldn't help but wonder if the two of them had left beforehand, realizing the situation was not going well.

His steps froze on the spot, and just as he was wondering what was going on, he suddenly heard a cry of surprise from behind: "Jiang Ran!"

Jiang Ran turned around and saw Si Zuochen and Si Youlin standing behind a thick tree trunk, which concealed their figures, which was why she hadn't noticed them for a moment.

The call just now came from Si Youlin's mouth. Jiang Ran was already used to this and didn't care at all about their behavior of calling each other by their full names.

Jiang Ran hurried over and, seeing the exhaustion on their faces, quickly asked, "What are you doing here?"

"It's a long story..." Si Zuochen replied in a low voice, then asked in return, "And you? Why did you suddenly come here?"

Jiang Ran took the opportunity to explain why she was there, and then said in a deep voice, "As for why I suddenly rushed over, it's because I sensed the presence of something."

Jiang Ran spoke cryptically, but Si Zuochen and Si Youlin instantly understood what she meant by "thing".

Upon hearing this, Si Youlin was startled and hurriedly exclaimed in surprise, "No wonder I felt so eerie just now, it really was that kind of thing!"

Then, without realizing it, she moved a little closer to Jiang Ran and said repeatedly, "Thank goodness you came, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable..."
