Chapter 303

After everyone discussed it, they found no other solution.

The team leader pondered for a moment, "Why don't we go see if the Dragon Breaking Stone is still there?"

After discussing it for a while, everyone found no other solution, so they simply walked directly towards the Dragon-Breaking Stone.

The canyon was filled with thick fog, and the group did not dare to walk too fast. However, as they got closer, their faces became increasingly ugly.

The huge dragon-breaking stone hung high above the cave entrance, and even the traces around it were exactly the same as what they had seen at the beginning.

"Damn, what the hell is this place?" a monk said irritably.

Everyone looked at the team leader, who was also a little embarrassed.

After thinking for a while, he looked at Cheng Hui: "Did you find anything, fellow Daoist?"

Cheng Hui stepped forward to look at the formation under the Dragon-Breaking Stone. It was indeed the trace left by him. He shook his head helplessly.

The team leader did not act on his own, but asked everyone to discuss what to do next.

Someone suggested going back and digging along the passage they fell into.

Some say to keep going and see where this path leads.

There are many different opinions, and everyone has sufficient reasons to support their own arguments.

Cheng Hui did not participate in their discussion and walked around the canyon casually.

The fog was so thick that you couldn't tell people and animals apart from ten meters away.

Cheng Hui's mind moved: "Is the fog getting thicker?"

"Yes." Lin Qingyang had originally ignored the ubiquitous fog, but after being reminded by Cheng Hui, he immediately reacted.

The fog here is indeed thicker than the previous layer.

If the fog concentration at the outermost part of Ghost Fog Peak is one, then the concentration in the canyon where Cheng Hui solved the Dragon-Breaking Stone Formation is five, and the concentration here is at least ten.

Cheng Hui looked at the passage in front of him, a hint of worry in his eyes.

Soon, everyone discussed and came to a conclusion. It was still uncertain whether there was a way back. Their purpose of coming here was to rescue Bai Yujing's disciples.

The jade beads left behind before proved that they had indeed been here, so the only way now was to continue going down.

The crowd continued to move forward and passed through the passage. This time, they did not enter a dead end. The passage extended forward. It was obviously not very narrow, but it made people feel inexplicably depressed.

Gradually, no one spoke anymore and the passage became unusually quiet.

Everyone was moving forward without even being on guard against the enemy.

Not long after, the darkness was broken by the light, and a ray of bright white light came through from the corner.

Everyone stopped at the same time and looked at the ray of light quietly.

"Isn't it that canyon again?" someone asked softly.

No one can answer this question, but there is no doubt that everyone has the same confusion in their hearts.

"I'll go and take a look." Ma Hongzhe couldn't stand the depressing atmosphere and asked the team leader.

The team leader did not object, and the female cultivator who had been exploring the way earlier took the initiative to step forward and go with him.

Not long after, the two men came back. From the expressions on their faces, it was not difficult to guess that the exit was still the same canyon.

"What the hell is going on?" Hall Master Yuan asked angrily.

"I don't know..." Ma Hongzhe looked disappointed: "But we found this." As he said that, he took out a jade token.

The team leader took the jade token with a heavy expression: "This is Luo Beidou's identity jade token."

In the previous tunnel, they found the jade beads on the identity jade card. This time, they found the jade card directly.

This proved that they were indeed on the right path, but everyone felt heavy in their hearts because they could not be sure whether their fate would be the same as that of the previous disciples, where no trace of them would be found anymore.

Everyone walked forward in silence, passed the exit, and saw the familiar scenery again.

Cheng Hui noticed that the fog here was thicker and the visibility was no more than five meters.

He held Lin Qingyang's hand and whispered, "Be careful."

"Yeah." Lin Qingyang responded and pinched the fingers in his palm.

Cheng Hui's hands were very warm. Compared to Lin Qingyang's always cold fingers, this zombie looked more like a human.

The two walked forward side by side. They had lost the desire to talk and walked numbly under the Broken Dragon Stone. Looking at the deep cave entrance, they felt frightened for no reason.

"Boss..." A monk looked at the leader, and everyone could see obvious fear in his eyes.

Although no one encountered any danger, this reincarnation-like environment gave everyone an ominous premonition.

"Let's go!" The team leader was decisive and took the lead forward.

The others looked at each other and followed. At this time, separation would be the most unwise choice.

When Cheng Hui passed by the Broken Dragon Stone again, he couldn't help but look up.

The huge dragon-breaking stone hung high above the cave, and the golden lines on it seemed to form a mocking expression in his eyes.

Cheng Hui's face twitched, and he suspected that he was also affected by the illusion. Otherwise, why would he think that a stone could laugh at him?

Um?

Suddenly, something in his mind moved him. He calmly took out a white bead and quietly put it into the corner of the wall.

Enter the passage and emerge into the canyon.

Enter the passage again and appear in the canyon again.

The same situation happened twice in a row, which put the team members under tremendous pressure.

It was clear that they could pick up various items on the road every time, which also proved that Luo Beidou and the others might be not far ahead, but no one felt the slightest joy of completing the mission.

When the team passed by the Dragon-Breaking Stone again, Cheng Hui suddenly moved and picked up a bead from the corner of the wall.

Everyone seemed a little slow to react, and Master Wen was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses: "What is that?"

"The photo stone that was thrown here before." Cheng Hui said.

"Photo Stone?" Master Wen repeated in confusion. Then, coming to his senses, he asked in confusion, "Why did you leave the Photo Stone here?"

"See if we are moving forward or just going around in circles." Cheng Hui had already noticed that the atmosphere in the team was not right, but there was nothing he could do. He could only hold Lin Qingyang's hand tightly to ensure that he would not encounter any danger.

The rest of the group slowly gathered around him, inadvertently blocking his escape route.

Cheng Hui seemed unaware of anything. Lin Qingyang raised his head and looked around, then lowered his head again with a dull expression.

Many people looked at the photo stone with curiosity, as if they wanted to know what was recorded inside.

Cheng Hui didn't want to keep people in suspense and input his spiritual energy into the image stone. The image stone emitted a faint light and presented the impression on the rock wall.

In the picture, shortly after Cheng Hui and others left for the first time, a blurry figure jumped down from the Broken Dragon Stone, threw a broken belt on the ground, and then jumped back onto the Broken Dragon Stone.

Soon, everyone's figures appeared in the picture again, but what was shocking was that so many people were missing from this team without anyone noticing.

Yes, there were originally a team of fourteen people, but in the picture, there were clearly only seven people walking, and the remaining seven people had turned into a group of wooden puppets at some point.

These puppets were carved to resemble humans, with only the brown wood grain on their limbs and faces revealing their identity.

These wooden puppets have been behaving like ordinary people. It was such a strange scene, but no one in the picture noticed anything wrong.

The team passed by quickly and successfully found the broken belt. The belt was Bai Yujing's standard equipment. The people in the picture discussed the origin of the belt and continued to move forward.

At this time, the expressions of the team leader and Master Wen, who were watching all this, changed. It was obviously problematic to use the things on the disciples to seduce them again and again. When they thought about it now, there were doubts everywhere, but for some reason, they did not feel that way at all at the time.

The team quickly disappeared, and when they reappeared on the screen, the number of wooden puppets had increased to ten.

This means that except for the two of them and the team leader Wen Tangzhu, everyone else has been replaced by puppets.

"How could this happen!" Master Wen was quite frightened, but he was an old hand after all, so he immediately became alert.

The leader's face turned pale. He looked at his expressionless companions and shouted, "Who are you? Where did you take my companions?"

After revealing the puppet's true identity, the monks who originally looked normal stood still, looking at them expressionlessly with extremely gloomy expressions.

Lin Qingyang had already blocked Cheng Hui behind him, his sword humming softly, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any time.

Cheng Hui secretly sent a message to Master Wen and the team leader, then shouted, "Do it!"

Master Wen and the team leader attacked the puppets at the same time. Lin Qingyang swung his sword in a circle, directly encircling the five puppets in his attack range.

The three of them attacked at the same time, holding back the ten puppets. Cheng Hui took advantage of this opportunity and punched the Dragon-Breaking Stone.

He did not forget that the black shadow that jumped down from the Dragon-Breaking Stone was the real mastermind compared to those puppets.

With a dull sound, the Dragon-Breaking Stone trembled violently and fell down with a loud bang.

A figure let out an ear-piercing scream, jumped down from the Dragon-Breaking Stone, and roared at Cheng Hui angrily.

“Squeak, squeak, squeak!”

Cheng Hui: ...

"Monkey?" The team leader was so distracted by the screaming animal that he was almost hit by the puppet.

Master Wen's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. He never expected that the so-called mastermind behind the scenes was actually a monkey.

No...it can't be said to be a monkey, but a monkey demon.

The monkey demon looked quite old, with white hair and beard, and was still wearing human clothes. He was very weak, and after being punched by Cheng Hui, he could not offer any effective resistance except screaming in anger.

With just a few moves, Cheng Hui tied his limbs behind his back and hung him up.

"Let them stop, quickly!" Cheng Hui said to the monkey in a cold voice.

The monkey squeaked twice, pretending to not understand what he was saying.

Cheng Hui frowned and shook the monkey vigorously: "Don't give me that. I know you can understand."

The monkey demon was unmoved. Cheng Hui got angry and grabbed the monkey demon's tail and started swinging it like a windmill.

Soon, the monkey demon squeaked in pain. Only when all the puppets stopped moving did Cheng Hui end this torture.

The monkey demon staggered and hit its head against the rock wall. It let out a cry and began to vomit violently, as if it wanted to vomit out all its internal organs.

Cheng Hui looked away with disdain. He didn't know what the monkey had eaten yesterday, but the smell was particularly strong.

Lin Qingyang considerately cast a small spell, and a breeze blew, blowing all the sour and refreshing smell out.

When the monkey demon finally recovered, Cheng Hui sneered and grabbed his tail again, threatening him: "I ask, you answer, understand?"

The monkey demon nodded frantically, fearing that if he was slow he would suffer again.
