Chapter 212
In an instant, the originally calm ground began to shake violently without any warning! It was as if a giant beast sleeping deep underground had awakened. Accompanied by a dull roar, lumps of earthy yellow began to slowly rise from the ground.
These lumps of earth were only the size of a fist at first, but as time went on, they grew taller and bigger at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the end, each lump of earth turned into a tall and mighty humanoid earth puppet!
These earth puppets exuded a heavy smell of earth. Their rough skin looked like the texture of the earth. Their lifeless eyes stared at Gu Shihan and the others.
Suddenly, a low and hoarse "ho ho" sound came out of their mouths, and like a group of hungry beasts that had spotted their prey, they pounced towards the crowd with their fangs and claws bared.
Faced with this sudden change, everyone was a little confused for a moment.
It was not until the earthen puppets were close at hand, swinging their huge fists at them, that they came to their senses. In panic, they hurriedly took out their weapons and hastily fought.
Fortunately, after countless life-and-death tests and hardships, the tacit understanding and cooperation between this team have already reached perfection.
Although they were a little panicked at the beginning, they soon stabilized their position and gradually found the weaknesses of the earth puppets during the transition between offense and defense.
The team members were seen moving flexibly between the earthen puppets, the weapons in their hands flashing cold light, stabbing, chopping, or picking... Every move hit the vital parts of the earthen puppets with incredible precision.
As crisp cracking sounds echoed all around, the earthen puppets fell down one after another and turned into piles of broken soil.
Finally, when the last earth puppet was shattered under the joint siege of everyone, the mysterious fairy field appeared before people's eyes again.
Without even taking a breath, everyone rushed forward and worked together to quickly pick all the precious herbs in the fairy field.
What is surprising is that after the last elixir was successfully picked, many tender green seedlings suddenly emerged in the elixir field.
These seedlings were tender and juicy, emitting waves of alluring fragrance. Unfortunately, an invisible ban enveloped the fairy field, making it impossible for everyone to touch these seedlings.
"Wow, it's so comfortable! I never thought that there is such a good place in this dangerous and foggy forest! With every breath I can clearly feel the fairy power in my body surging and growing!" Wen Xin said excitedly with a smile on her face.
"That's right, Wen Xin is right! I originally came here just to give it a try, but I didn't expect to have such an unexpected surprise. It seems that this trip is really worthwhile! However, in my opinion, this mysterious Xunxian Peak still has many unknowns waiting for us to explore carefully!" Gu Shihan also smiled, with anticipation glittering in his eyes.
At this moment, Shi Qinghan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly frowned and said thoughtfully, "Something is wrong... I remember that on the map of the Misty Forest I saw before, there was no mark about Xunxian Peak at all! Could it be that it was deliberately hidden by someone?"
Hearing this, Mo Yu nodded and said, "It's very likely! After all, the sudden appearance of the white-robed female cultivator is full of mysteries, and the reason we were able to come here is all thanks to her guidance. Maybe this is a rare opportunity bestowed upon us by God."
"Hey, stop making random guesses! No matter if it's a coincidence or not, since we are already here, let's just let go and explore it carefully! Who knows, there may be more unexpected surprises hidden ahead waiting for us to discover!" Gu Jiahui clapped his hands happily and said with a smile.
"Brother Jiahui is absolutely right!" Nangong Yi agreed with a smile.
So, with full of curiosity and expectation, everyone once again embarked on an adventure in Xunxian Peak. However, as they continued to move deeper, they faced more and more dangers.
Just after walking for a short while, the group unfortunately encountered an extremely complex and strange psychedelic formation.
All of a sudden, the surroundings became blurred and it was difficult to tell the direction. Everyone was trapped in the formation, running around like a headless fly, and spent several days in a daze.
Not only did he fail to find a way to break the formation, but he felt more and more dizzy and his consciousness gradually began to become blurred.
Gu Shihan was slightly startled, stopped, calmed down, and said: "This is a natural time formation, which requires a corresponding time. We can only break out of the formation if we find that specific time node.
I have checked the ancient books, and it will be the full moon night in three days. Perhaps the full moon night is the time to break the formation. Now, we should stop rushing around like headless flies. The immortal power is abundant here, so let's all meditate and practice."
"Shi Han, are you sure?!" Duan Siqi asked.
Gu Shihan thought for a while and said, "I am sure that this is a time formation, but I am not sure whether the full moon night is the key to breaking the formation. However, we can give it a try! With my past experience and my perception, it should be correct!"
Three days passed quietly. When the moon rose above his head, Gu Shihan found that a beam of light hit a huge rock. There were three spots of white light on the rock.
Gu Shihan took out three fairy stones and threw them towards the light spot.
With a loud "boom", the huge rock shattered into powder in an instant, and a hole appeared in front of everyone.
Gu Shihan waved his hand and said, "Hurry up! This cave entrance will close in only thirty breaths!"
The nine people went down to the cave entrance one by one, and in a blink of an eye, they were at the top of Xunxian Peak.
"Are we getting out? Shi Han, I didn't expect that your formation level is getting higher and higher. But we are at the top of the mountain now, which way should we go down the mountain?" Nangong Yi looked around and said.
"It doesn't matter! We are not familiar with it anyway! It doesn't matter where we start from. Shi Han, you are lucky. How about you choose the direction?" Wen Xin said with a smile.
Gu Shihan smiled, looked at Shi Qinghan and asked, "Brother, which one do you like?"
"Girl, why are you asking me? What I like most is the sunshine!"
"Sunshine? Who wouldn't like it?" Everyone agreed with a laugh.
Finally, everyone unanimously decided to go down the mountain from the side where the sun rises. The way down the mountain was not safe. After only walking for half an hour, they were attacked by a group of spirit bees.
These spirit bees are huge, and the sharp needles on their tails flash with cold light. They are extremely poisonous. If you get stung by them, you will at least lose a layer of skin if you don’t die, right? !
