But now, not only are there no spirit beasts, but there's not even a trace of them left. It seems that no spirit beasts have appeared here for a long time.
"What exactly is going on?" Wo Wan asked curiously.
Chen Zhou had kept the True Dragon aura open and hadn't closed it, so it was normal that no spirit beasts were appearing at this time. But there wasn't even a trace of spirit beasts here, which meant that no spirit beasts had appeared here for a whole day. How could that be?
"When was the last time you passed by here? Are there any signs of spirit beasts here? Like footprints or something?" Chen Zhou stopped warily, approached Wo Wan, and whispered to her.
Wo Wan replied in a low voice, "I passed by here two days ago. When I passed by, there were many spirit beasts passing by, many small ones, but none of them attacked us. The steward who took me away has dragon blood in his body and can drive them away."
"Where are the traces?" Chen Zhou continued to ask.
“I found a lot of traces. This road is almost covered with their traces. It’s so strange. It’s only been two days. Why are all these traces gone?” Wo Wan said with great frustration. She clearly remembered that the road was uneven because there were many footprints on it, all made by those spirit beasts.
But now, at first glance, the road doesn't seem to have any bumps or uneven spots, suggesting that it may have been cleared by someone.
Moreover, this road now looks very easy to travel, and it seems to have a unique attraction for people who have been there. If anyone from the three factions of Wolong wanted to leave the Wolong Mountain area, they would definitely choose to take this road. This is not only because the road is very clean, but also because it is very easy to travel and is very suitable for horse-drawn carriages.
However, the two people who were leaving the Wolong Three Sects did not have a carriage and were simply walking, so neither of them noticed the road conditions. Only now did they begin to observe the road conditions, which were indeed very good.
The carriage could easily pass by smoothly.
"Oh no, this is probably a trap. Someone deliberately made this path so clean to lure people to take it," Chen Zhou said hesitantly. At this moment, both of them stopped and looked around very warily.
"What do we do now?" Wo Wan looked around in fear. Wo Wan was not afraid of a fair fight, but what she feared most were these ambushes and traps.
Because Wo Wan wasn't a meticulous person, she didn't have a strong eye for these traps and ambushes. At this moment, she didn't see them at all, only vaguely sensing that something was wrong. If Chen Zhou hadn't pointed them out, she probably wouldn't have paid any attention to them.
However, when I followed Chen Zhou's line of thinking, I unexpectedly realized that the two of them were probably really in danger.
"There's no turning back now. Since we've come this far, we have no choice but to grit our teeth and keep going," Chen Zhou said slowly.
Indeed, now that the two have entered this place, retreating now would likely be even more dangerous. The person who set this trap must have anticipated that they might retreat. Perhaps they were waiting for Chen Zhou and Wo Wan to retreat.
“Alright. Your strength is only at the Enlightenment stage, stand behind me. I’m already at the Fusion stage, so I should be the one to stand in front of you at times like this.” Wo Wan thought for a moment and squeezed in front of Chen Zhou, turning around to say to him.
Chen Zhou had no aversion to Wo Wan's actions; having someone in front of him was good, as they could help him scout the way.
"Then be careful," Chen Zhou said cautiously.
Wo Wan was speechless. What was wrong with this man? He didn't refuse at all? He just accepted it as if it were perfectly normal?
The two walked one after the other on this quiet road, unaware that they had entered a large formation that had been set up in advance.
This grand formation consumed most of a level-three formation master's true energy and took two days to set up. Its purpose was to capture members of the three Wolong sects and bring them in for interrogation.
So at this moment, the people squatting here all had smiles on their faces. After waiting for so long, someone among the three sects of Wolong finally couldn't resist leaving.
They had been waiting for these two for a long time.
"What do you think their status is within the three factions of Wolong? Do you think they know what happened to the three factions of Wolong two days ago?"
"That woman already possesses the strength of the Fusion stage, and she's so young. She must be one of the best among the younger generation of the three sects of Wolong, right? She should be very knowledgeable about the affairs of these sects."
"These two appear to be siblings. The younger brother's strength is quite remarkable, reaching the Enlightenment stage at such a young age. It seems they must be the children of some elder from the Three Sects of Wolong, otherwise they couldn't possibly have such talent for cultivation. In that case, all we need to do is capture them and report to our superiors, and our mission will be complete."
"Yes, as long as we take these two back alive, the interrogation will no longer be our responsibility."
Unbeknownst to Chen Zhou and Wo Wan, several voices were whispering in the darkness. Moreover, just as Chen Zhou and Wo Wan ventured deeper into the path, they thought they would soon leave, unaware that they had already entered the core area of a formation.
“It’s time to activate this formation! Lord Zuli’s formation is extremely powerful, and powerful formations take time to activate. Once it’s fully activated, the two of them can truly enter the core area.”
