The Stonehenge is full of cracks that can tear a person to pieces. If you take a wrong step, your limbs will be torn apart. The lucky ones will lose arms and legs, while the unlucky ones will lose their heads.
He had been studying here for more than three years before he successfully explored one-third of the area from the outside. As soon as this guy of unknown origin came, he led them deep into here.
How could Bai Jiguang not feel jealous and resentful?
Not only that, Bai Jiguang also felt that this weapon refiner named Xi Yunting was secretly colluding with the three newcomers in front of him. Maybe they came for the grandmaster's secret treasure and had inside information that he didn't know.
But Bai Jiguang found that he had no way to tell the envoy this. When they reached this point, the envoy had already obeyed Xi Yunting's orders. He was afraid that even if he said it, the envoy would think he was jealous.
Bai Jiguang was naturally unwilling to see his three years of hard work go to waste, and he was really worried that Xi Yunting would snatch the inheritance that should have belonged to him. He was even more afraid that the envoy would find out that he was useless and would kill him directly to make room for Xi Yunting.
Therefore, no matter what, there are irreconcilable conflicts between him and these four people.
It must be said that Bai Jiguang's guess was correct in a sense. Tong Nuonuo didn't know that someone was watching him from behind, and he didn't even think about showing fear, and walked forward calmly.
Tong Nuonuo walked in the front, Chen Xiao was the second, and Tang Ru was the third. Xi Yunting wanted to follow them, but was stopped by the envoy: "Fellow Daoist Xi, please wait. You are of noble status, so please walk in front of me." He was not overwhelmed by the rapid progress and was determined to keep Xi Yunting under control.
So behind Tang Ru came Qi Lian who was able to launch mental attacks, Bai Jiguang walked behind him, and then came Peng Biao, Xi Yunting, Zun Shi and Wan Chengzhang.
The nine people were less than ten meters apart, so Tong Nuonuo could hear it clearly. He looked back at Chen Xiao worriedly, not knowing what to do.
The current situation was better than they had expected, but Xi Yunting was trapped in the middle and back of the team, with evil cultivators in front and behind him. What was even worse was that Xi Yunting was also wearing a soul-locking ring, so he couldn't even save himself.
What should I do? Tong Nuonuo silently lip-synced to Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao looked up at him, but made a cross-legged gesture with his hands in front of him.
The map shows that there is a fork in the road. Although the routes from here are different, they all lead to the secret location. If this stone circle was created by a cultivator, then the great master would definitely only leave one correct path. However, this place was indeed formed naturally, so there was a fork in the road.
As long as they create opportunities there, Xi Yunting will definitely seize the opportunity and act accordingly.
Tong Nuonuo's eyes flashed with enlightenment and she turned her head back.
There were several people behind him, and Xi Yunting pointed in a direction and told him to walk three meters away. Tong Nuonuo said nothing, and walked three meters away as Xi Yunting instructed and stood still.
It was as if there was a string of rice dumplings behind him, following the direction Tong Nuonuo had walked.
A distorted light and shadow flashed by Tong Nuonuo's side, almost brushing against his body.
Tong Nuonuo was fine, but Qi Lian, who was standing in the fourth position, was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. The distorted light and shadow were the cracks that appeared and disappeared in an instant. Thinking that he had passed by the god of death at such a close distance, Qi Lian felt frightened.
The cracks can be as small as an inch, or as large as 100 or 100 meters. Some of them exist for a short time, only for a moment, while others are fixed where they appear, seemingly existing forever.
The ones that exist are large and stable, which are often seen as portals. The worlds in the heaven realm are connected to each other through such stable and appropriately sized rifts.
This fleeting, uncertain and unpredictable crack can easily tear apart an unsuspecting cultivator, no matter if he is in the foundation-building stage or the out-of-body stage.
Qi Lian had personally seen Bai Jiguang test the way with those captured practitioners in the Stonehenge. When there was no one to serve as a sacrifice for the exploration, Bai Jiguang's results would be much slower.
Qi Lian was not without complaints in his heart. This kind of natural magic array should not require a weapon refiner to figure out the location. It should obviously be the job of someone who is proficient in magic arrays.
Qi Lian cherished his life very much, and he slowly distanced himself from the front without leaving any trace. Bai Jiguang frowned, rolled his eyes with a gloomy face, and said nothing. Peng Biao behind him also saw what happened just now, but this time he did not urge him impatiently, but remained silent and pretended not to see it.
Because of their position, they could not see Qi Lian's movements any further back. So without the envoy noticing, they slowly distanced themselves from the front.
When they slowly walked to the fork in the road, Tong Nuonuo turned around and threw something behind him, then rushed to a huge rock on the side. Before he took action, he shouted: "Run--"
Without hesitation, Chen Xiao followed Tong Nuonuo. Although Tang Ru did not see what the two were discussing, he followed without hesitation out of trust in his companion.
Qi Lian was far behind at this moment. By the time he reacted and chased forward to the place where Tong Nuonuo made the move, the mechanism thrown by Tong Nuonuo also exploded.
As soon as the thing landed on the ground, a web shining with silver-white light spread out in all directions. Qi Lian couldn't stop his feet and stepped into it, and immediately let out a scream.
Bai Jiguang's face suddenly changed, and he immediately avoided the place with the net. Seeing this, Peng Biao did not move for a moment, and turned back to look behind him.
Just at this moment, Xi Yunting behind him somersaulted very quickly, flew through the air, turned around and ran in the completely opposite direction.
The envoy's face changed and he shouted angrily: "How dare you play tricks on me!" If he didn't see at this moment that the four of them were actually a group of people, he would be very stupid.
Xi Yunting couldn't use his true energy, so he was not very fast and didn't escape the attack range of the envoy. However, although he was angry, he was also surprised. The other party dared to rush around in this place, so it was obvious that the other party had a map in his hand. He could wait until the other party was no longer useful to him before settling the grudge of being fooled.
He floated up like a roc, and chased in the direction of Xi Yunting.
Peng Biao didn't care what was going on in front of him. He always flattered and clung to the envoy. Seeing the envoy chasing him, he rushed over without saying a word.
However, he was careless and did not notice that two people were flipping over him in the air. The result of rushing straight through was that a crack suddenly appeared and disappeared, tearing a big hole in his chest and abdomen.
"Ah!!!" Peng Biao screamed. A large piece of flesh on his stomach was gone, and the organs in his abdominal cavity were directly exposed to the air. Some of them were only half left, while others disappeared completely.
Wan Chengzhang looked slow and unresponsive. Only then did he slowly stand up and look at Peng Biao with indifferent eyes.
Peng Biao howled miserably, blood gushing out from his cut flesh. He raised his hand and reached out to Wan Chengzhang: "Save me, Wan Chengzhang! Please..."
Peng Biao's storage bag disappeared along with the part that disappeared, and his emergency life-saving elixir and life-saving treasures were gone. Now he could only rely on others to help him, so that he could have a chance of survival.
However, Wan Chengzhang's reaction made him despair. He walked right through Peng Biao's flowing blood, as if he hadn't seen or heard anything.
Qi Lian's face was already pale. Looking at Wan Chengzhang's grim expression, he actually took a step back: "What are you doing?"
Wan Chengzhang said: "Chase them. Since they dare to run in a place like this, they must know a safe route." His idea coincided with the envoy's.
Bai Jiguang nodded and said, "With them leading the way, we might be able to find the treasure house left by the Grand Master today."
In this stone formation, Bai Jiguang was sure that even if they ran, they would leave traces, after all, the Soul Locking Ring sealed their true essence.
The few people who had already run a distance away were actually not far from them. Chen Xiao took off the soul-locking rings on their necks, and Tong Nuonuo directly put them into his mechanism box.
Next, Chen Xiao took the lead, followed by Tong Nuonuo and Tang Ru.
Chen Xiao directly used the Yuanqi Shenxing Talisman. With it, his light body skills were enhanced and he would only leave a shallow footprint at a very long distance.
Chen Xiao's expression was tense, and the three of them quickly ran towards the secret hiding place along the route given on the map.
The thin aura around him swirled into a vortex, pulled by an invisible force. The further he walked, the more he felt a sense of déjà vu.
Finally arriving at the secret hiding place, they were disappointed to find no signs of treasure.
Chen Xiao was unwilling to give up, so he looked carefully and followed the direction where the aura was pulled. He saw a faint, blurry, invisible vortex that was only about a person's height and half a meter wide.
Chen Xiao paused. No wonder he felt familiar with it, because he had seen it more than once.
Tang Ru followed his gaze and saw the strange existence that distorted the light, and gasped: "Portal!"
Tong Nuonuo was also surprised: "This great master is so generous that he actually occupied a micro-sky realm as his inheritance place!"
Chen Xiao calmed down and looked back in the direction of the other road, anxiously hoping that Xi Yunting could get rid of the evil cultivator and successfully reach the portal.
In another direction, the envoy was hanging behind Xi Yunting. He originally planned to follow behind him and kill Xi Yunting after confirming the secret treasure.
However, Xi Yunting is not the type of person who would sit and wait for death, and he would not bring danger to his companions.
Although his true essence could not be used, there were a lot of emergency energy lightning talismans and energy divine fire talismans in his storage bag that Chen Xiao had stuffed into his pocket. Xi Yunting stopped, turned back with a stern expression, and shot three paper talismans between his fingers towards the evil cultivator.
