Ji Yuan and Lu Yao were the first to arrive. They immediately knocked down several disciples of Tianwen Mountain, and then held up Fang Wei, who had almost fallen due to the impact of the air current. Then Ji Yuan put Fang Wei on his shoulder.
Fang Wei: “…”
Hua Shi turned around and saw this scene. Before he could recover from the joy of being rescued, he was choked and almost speechless.
Unfortunately, now is not the time to worry about these things. Hua Shi could only suppress the jealousy in his heart and warned: "Be careful of their sword formation!"
Although the cultivation level of this group of disciples was not enough to threaten everyone, their sword formation was very strange. Hua Shi could not figure out the reason, but this sword formation was enough to deal with masters like Ji Yuan and Lu Yao who had cultivated for thousands of years.
After Ji Yuan, Xuan Shuzhi, Yi Zhan and others also arrived. Almost everyone arrived one after another. The situation suddenly reversed. Several sword formation disciples finally couldn't hold on and fell to the ground.
"That's enough fun for now, what else do you want, Senior Cheng Song?" Xuan Shuzhi walked out first and met Cheng Song's gaze.
Everything happened too quickly. First, Hua Shi, Fang Wei and others were besieged, and then Cheng Song arrived. Before they could be harassed by Cheng Song for too long, Xuan Shuzhi and others also arrived. The situation kept reversing, and in the end, Hua Shi, Fang Wei and others had the upper hand.
But for some reason Fang Wei felt that this was not the case.
Fang Wei didn't stay on Ji Yuan's shoulder for long. Hua Shi took advantage of the fact that the group of disciples were dealt with and came to Ji Yuan's side. He seemed to be inadvertently holding him back and put him back on his shoulder. Xuan Shuzhi was still talking to Cheng Song on the other side. Hua Shi took the opportunity to whisper to Fang Wei, "Are you okay? Are you not injured?"
Fang Wei shook his head and continued, "That's not right."
Hua Shi paused, then continued Fang Wei's words, "You also think it's not right?"
Fang Wei whispered: "There is another aura in this forbidden area."
This aura did not always exist, but suddenly appeared when Ji Yuan and others arrived. What made Fang Wei feel even more uneasy was that the aura seemed to be the aura he had felt in the Abyss of Disaster before.
Perhaps it is not the complete behemoth of the abyss, but it must be of the same origin.
Hua Shi carefully felt the breath, and finally murmured after a while: "Is it a black snake?"
Fang Wei nodded immediately: "It's the black snake."
Hua Shi's expression changed the moment he reacted. He raised his head and shouted to the other seniors beside him: "Be careful!"
The moment they opened their mouths, countless black snakes suddenly jumped out from the ground in the dense forest of the forbidden area. For some reason, the black snakes that had disappeared for hundreds of years suddenly made a comeback at this moment, spitting out their tongues and rushing towards everyone.
Hua Shi and Fang Wei had been prepared since their previous guess, so they were not panicked at this time. Fortunately, the other people had heard their warnings. Although their movements were hasty and a little embarrassing, fortunately they were not injured and they all just managed to avoid this sudden attack.
Xuan Shuzhi reacted the fastest and immediately looked at Fang Wei: "The black snake from a hundred years ago is also related to Cheng Song?"
It was already this time, and Fang Wei couldn't possibly not understand it. He met Xuan Shuzhi's gaze and nodded immediately, "It seems to be like this."
After saying this, he turned his gaze back to Cheng Song: "Whether it was a hundred years ago or a thousand years ago, you were the one who helped the giant beast, right?"
In fact, this is not difficult to guess, but what really concerns Fang Wei is how he contacted the giant beast and how he rescued the black snake that should have disappeared with the battle of the abyss.
Cheng Song was now standing surrounded by black snakes. Behind him, countless dark shadows emerged from the ground and grass. They were all slender black snakes. Their red pupils looked extremely familiar to Fang Wei, as they were the same pupils as those of the giant beast from the abyss.
The black snakes were still there, which meant that the giant beast might still be there too.
Fang Wei was very clear in his mind, and this made his face gradually darken. In the past, they were able to use Huoyuan's formation to deal with the giant beast, but now if the giant beast appeared again, how would they deal with it?
No, in that battle, both he and the giant beast suffered from the explosion of spiritual power of the formation. If he had not been protected by Hua Shi's luck, he might not have been able to survive. The giant beast's injuries would have been more serious than his. There was no way it could have come back intact.
Fang Wei pondered for a moment and said, "Has the giant beast been transformed into a spirit now?"
Cheng Song raised his eyebrows slightly and did not respond immediately, but his reaction had already given everyone the answer.
Hua Shi understood immediately: "Just like you are now?"
Fang Wei and the giant beast met with the accident at the same time. Fang Wei was re-condensed in a semi-spiritual state by his spiritual creatures, the Nine-Sky White Dragon, etc. And now it seems that the giant beast should be the same. It is not too difficult for Cheng Song to reshape it for him.
What is more likely is that Cheng Song has ordered his organization to sell spiritual objects and seize their elixirs over the years. It is very likely that he was trying to find a way to restore the giant beast with the power of the elixir.
So, things that they had thought were over seemed to have returned to where they started.
They still need to deal with the giant beast that is powerful enough to plunge Xuanqing Continent into panic, and they still have to deal with the sabotage caused by Cheng Song and others, and this does not seem to be much different from a thousand years ago.
No, these things are still different, the difference is that they now have an additional variable.
Fang Wei set his sights on Hua Shi.
Hua Shi was nervous at the moment. Perhaps the incident with the black snakes had stimulated him and reminded him of the time when he lost Fang Wei. So when he saw the group of black snakes reappear, Hua Shi's expression became solemn again, so much so that he didn't notice Fang Wei's gaze at all.
Although they seemed to be back to the starting point after many twists and turns, Fang Wei was not discouraged at all. He looked at Hua Shi at this moment and whispered, "I'm afraid Cheng Song has been calculating against us from the very beginning."
Perhaps the reason they came here was a trap set by Cheng Song.
The purpose of attacking Hua Shi and exposing his identity was not because Cheng Song was reckless and arrogant, but because he wanted Hua Shi to know his identity.
That's why Hua Shi called others over.
When they all thought that Cheng Song's conspiracy had been exposed and they were about to capture and imprison Cheng Song, they discovered that it was not them who captured Cheng Song, but Cheng Song who ordered the group of black snakes to surround them.
"The farce is over." Cheng Song said in a low voice with a relaxed expression, "Perhaps you will be lucky enough to see the divine beast regain its strength and return to Xuanqing Continent next."
He shrugged, narrowed his eyes and smiled at everyone: "I'm looking forward to it."
After saying this, his eyes changed slightly, and his narrow eyes were filled with cold light. Then the black snakes behind him seemed to have received an order, and they quickly jumped out and attacked Hua Shi and others.
It's not that Hua Shi has never dealt with black snakes before. In the woods outside Huoyuan and Tianqing City, he had fought with many black snakes before. But he had never felt that black snakes would be so difficult to deal with. This group of black snakes were obviously much stronger than those black snakes before, and the aura of the giant beasts on their bodies was even stronger.
During this process, he looked at Fang Wei worriedly. Fang Wei had already left Hua Shi's shoulder at this time. His dragon spirit state seemed to have gradually changed during the fight. The dragon horn on his forehead flickered with a silver halo, and the scales around his body became more and more lustrous, exuding a solemn dragon aura.
