Lin Nai used the Ghost Step technique to move through the forest at an extremely fast speed.
But he suddenly stopped.
Because he sensed that there were more Darkmoon members ahead of him.
"Soul skill—Grey Eyes!"
Linna activated his Gray Eyes and surveyed his surroundings.
Under the vision of the Gray Eyes, he could see that at least several hundred Darkmoon members were surrounding and attacking him from all directions.
This time, it seems the Dark Moon has truly mobilized its entire force.
Wow, what an honor...
Linna looked south again and saw the barrier outside the inner city wall of the capital.
"The barrier is less than 500 meters ahead..."
Linna observed the surrounding terrain: "Hmm... let's do it here."
"However, we still need to be careful not to hurt Truman and the others."
"Tsk tsk, what a hassle..."
Linnai landed on the tree, found an open space, quickly formed hand seals, and silently chanted incantations.
"Taoist Techniques - Imitation of the Four Symbols Mind-Controlling Array!"
......
"ah......"
After being controlled by "Bai Ji" for a few minutes, Di Yunlie finally broke free from the illusion. He knelt on the ground, panting heavily. His head was still spinning, and his vision was still blurry. He shook his head vigorously, and it took him a while to fully recover.
Zhao Yulong, Blood Serpent, Cat King, Iron Shield, and the others also broke free from the illusion one by one. However, their condition was similar to that of Di Yunlie. When they first woke up, they were all pale and sweating profusely. Clearly, breaking free from Lin Nai's illusion had taken a lot of their energy.
"I didn't expect this kid to be so amazing..."
Elvis looked exhausted, as if he hadn't slept for over ten days: "Even my method of breaking the illusion with Dark Moon has kept me trapped for so long..."
Zhao Yulong looked around. Lin Nai was nowhere to be seen, as was Ming Tian.
"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and chase after him." Di Yunlie said, "Blood Serpent, find out where that kid ran off to."
"Okay." Blood Serpent clasped his hands together, his fingertips touching, and began to close his eyes to sense.
......
Mu Xun, Chu Men, Hua Lingze, and the others leaped among the trees in the forest and quickly caught up.
Tong Yi used her mental vision to survey the situation ahead, and then said, "We've found Lin Nai; he's up ahead."
Hua Lingze said, "Okay, let's speed it up then."
The group immediately quickened their pace.
A minute later, Hua Lingze and the others quickly realized that something was wrong.
"Huh?" Meng Feifei suddenly sensed something and said, "Hey, have you guys noticed? Haven't we been here before?"
Mu Xun looked at a fruit that had fallen to the ground by the roadside.
He remembered clearly that he had stepped on the branch of that fruit tree while he was jumping and rushing along, which was why he fell to the ground.
But now I'm back here.
Truman was silent for a moment, then said, "Tong Yi, can you sense where Lin Nai is?"
"Hmm..." Tong Yi closed her eyes, trying to use her mental vision to search, but quickly failed: "No, Lin Nai seems to be hiding his presence. I can sense him nearby, but I don't know his exact location..."
The white beast landed on the tree and stroked the trees beside it: "I remember this tree. We have indeed been to this place before."
This forest is where Dark Moon has conducted countless practical training exercises.
Therefore, Dark Moon is very familiar with this forest, and it is absolutely impossible for them to get lost or lose their way in this place.
That leaves only one possibility...
Hua Lingze smiled and said, "It seems we've fallen under some kind of illusion."
“Illusion magic…” Yu Yuanyuan said, “Then let me do it. I’m best at illusion magic.”
“No, this is not an illusion,” Truman said. “Your methods for breaking illusions will not work.”
"Not an illusion?" Yu Yuanyuan asked curiously, "Then what is it?"
Truman looked around at his surroundings. The trees here had just been lush and green, but now they were gradually turning yellow, as if it were autumn.
“I think this is the Taoist Four Symbols Mind-Controlling Array. It does have some similar effects to illusions, but in reality, it is based on completely different principles,” Truman said. “So even if we use Darkmoon’s professional methods to break illusions, it will be completely useless.”
"The Four Symbols Mind-Controlling Formation?" Fang Wu asked. "Then how do we break this formation?"
Truman thought for a moment: "I should be able to crack it, but it will take some time."
Hua Lingze said, "Everyone be careful. Lin Nai is very good at making traps. He may very well set up an ambush here."
Everyone nodded: "Yes!"
......
Mingtian was traveling alone through the forest.
"Um?"
He suddenly stopped and looked around: "This place... I think I just..."
Ming Tian quickly realized what was going on and laughed: "So that's how it is, the Four Symbols Mind-Controlling Formation? They've come up with this trick again."
"Unfortunately, I've already seen through this move."
Mingtian drew his black sword, preparing to break the formation.
However, at that moment, a strong whooshing sound suddenly came.
Suddenly, the White Night Scythe flew out of the bushes! It spun and flew straight at him!
Ming Tian's pupils contracted, and he quickly used his movement technique to dodge.
The rapidly spinning scythe flew past him, and although he reacted quickly, the sharp blade still tore through his clothes.
Fresh blood gushed out immediately!
"Tch..."
Ming Tian retreated more than ten meters, his left hand clutching his chest, blood seeping from between his fingers. His right hand gripped the black sword he had drawn, his eyes warily scanning his surroundings: "Another sneak attack..."
Where are they?
"Click"
Linnaeus appeared behind him.
Holding a Shadow Hunter Soul Chaser in his hand, he pressed it against his head.
Mingtian's body stiffened instantly.
His face was extremely grim, then he gave a helpless smile: "I thought you were dealing with your old teammates, but I didn't expect you to be lying in wait here specifically to target me first..."
Linnaeus said, "Nonsense, only you know how to break the Four Symbols Mind-Capturing Formation, who else would I target if not you?"
Ming Tian: "..."
