I felt the slow fluctuations of power in the air, compact but even, ordinary yet unpredictable. The bamboo branches swayed, autonomously yet passively, like puppets being controlled.

This ocean transformed from bamboo flowed slowly, coupled with a force that Zhang Mu felt very familiar with.

But there is no wind here now.

Zhang Mu thought of some of the tricks used by spiritual evolutionists in later generations. He slapped his head and suddenly realized, "It's actually an illusion array! It's based on this bamboo forest and transformed into a spiritual killing array. What a big deal!"

Was this illusion created by Long Qi or the woman in black veil he brought with him?

No, it seems that it should be impossible. It seems that this is their first time here. If it is a temporary arrangement, it is impossible to be as perfect as it is now.

Because the range of this bamboo forest illusion array is really too large.

Zhang Mu had only seen such a method in a fourth-level spiritual master who could easily arrange such a range.

He suddenly thought of a terrible possibility.

Could this illusion be set up by the white fox or the monk zombie?

Oh no, Long Qi and the others are in danger!

Zhang Mu did not rush in. Compared to the obsidian worms, which were small in size and had strong concealment capabilities, he did not know whether he would be discovered by the person who set up the illusion array the moment he entered the bamboo forest.

He was walking quietly around the bamboo forest. Although time was tight, he must not panic.

Zhang Mu opened his mental shield and used the power of the mental shield to get close to the bamboo forest, touching the strange power and sensing the subtle differences. He had come into contact with many mental masters, including a fourth-level mental evolutionist who could use this kind of illusion array. Although the opponent's strength was far superior to his, Zhang Mu already had a lot of capital at that time. The resources in his hands allowed him to be on par with a fourth-level mental master, so he had also heard about this illusion array.

Formation, which is the mainstream combat capability of high-level spiritual evolutionists.

Because of its great power, it usually requires perfect use of the environment when it is set up, and the mental compatibility with the caster must also reach a high level of tacit understanding.

Zhang Mu increased the speed of using the mental shield near his body to test the illusion array, and soon made a big circle. He recalled the feeling just now and had some ideas in his mind.

Finally, he stepped into the illusion array from the road on one side.

This side of the road, in his perception, was the weakest. It was probably because the caster was using this ability for the first time and was not very familiar with the arrangement of the illusion array, otherwise there would not be such a big gap in the outside world. Of course, it was also possible that they felt that it was impossible for another spiritual master with such a high ability to be comparable to Long Qi and the others inside.

Unfortunately, a factor appeared that neither side had considered, and that was the big bug of Zhang Mu.

Zhang Mu walked on the bamboo forest path and headed towards the obsidian worm to meet it. He asked the obsidian worm to stay still and closer to Long Qi and the others, so that if something happened before Zhang Mu arrived, it could try to delay them for a while.

As he walked along, his mental power in the bamboo forest illusion array was still fluctuating. Although the green bamboos around Zhang Mu did not have much impact on him because he was not the target of the spell, they still interfered with his judgment. He could only rely on the inseparable mental connection with the obsidian worm to accurately find the direction of the past.

As he walked, his heart suddenly skipped a beat and he thought of a possibility, which made him feel a little terrified.

Why did Long Qi and the others come here? They broke in from the breakthrough point in East City. Logically, they would not be led here. Moreover, with Long Qi's personality, it is impossible for him to rashly walk in to the Zhenguo Temple after seeing it. This can only mean that he was lured in from somewhere else.

Yes, that's it.

Temptation!

Zhang Mu finally figured out the key point of the matter. Thinking of this possibility, Zhang Mu felt more and more that his judgment was correct.

What if Long Qi and the others were deliberately led to this place?

What if Long Qi wanted to capture Jinzhong City, but at the same time, the mutant beast leader and intelligent zombies in Jinzhong City also targeted them at the same time?

Long Qi once said that he had asked Lei Zi and some of his own taming ability evolvers to test the reaction of Jinzhong City, and he must have been there at that time. At that time, due to lack of manpower, Long Qi gave up exploring the core secrets of Jinzhong City.

But what if the hunter is not just Long Qi?

The moment Long Qi appeared, Long Qi, as a second-level spiritual evolver, was also targeted as prey? Doesn't that mean that the white fox and the monk zombie have been waiting for Long Qi to fall into their trap?

Perhaps the guards of the mother-and-child gourd were real, but they failed to grasp Long Qi's confidence, and then used the entire Jinzhong City as a bait to lead Long Qi here step by step.

Zhang Mu didn't think so much about it at first, but now that he thinks about it, there are too many strange things.

Moreover, he just saw the strange look in the monk zombie's eyes from the obsidian worm's perspective.

The more I think about it, the creepier it gets.

Zhang Mu gathered all the strength in his body, maintained a stable amplitude of his mental power fluctuations, and slowly approached where the obsidian worm was.

At this time, the Obsidian Bug suddenly sent a message, "Zhang Mu, come here quickly, I think those two humans are about to collapse."

Hearing this, Zhang Mu knew that the Obsidian Worm must have been in a critical situation when he said it couldn't make it. He immediately quickened his pace and pushed aside the bamboo leaves that were blocking his view. Suddenly, Zhang Mu's vision became clear, and he could see clearly the battlefield where Long Qi and the others were.

At this moment, he had already made up his mind.
