Chapter 307 Strange Space, Evil Breath at Night

After hearing what Pao Zhen said, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Hu Zi immediately put down his bag and sat on the ground, rubbing his feet and muttering, "If we don't get to the place, my new shoes will be worn out."

But after saying this, Hu Zi shuddered all over, and Pao Zhen was looking at him with a gloomy face.

Hu Zi grinned and said, "Master, where is this place?"

"Daxing'anling, the original old forest." Pao Zhen said this, then pointed to the vines in front and said, "I accidentally discovered this place thousands of years ago. It is very suitable for cultivation."

I looked up and saw that what appeared in front of us was actually a patch of vines.

The vines intertwined with each other, forming a wall that completely blocked the road ahead.

"This vine... is it naturally formed? But why do I feel that it is more like someone did it on purpose?"

Although wild vines will also tangle together and block the road, the vines in front of us are too dense, like a wall, or even stronger than a wall.

It can be said that everything in front of us is completely blocked by the vines. We can't even see what is behind the vines.

"It is indeed not formed naturally." Pao Zhen nodded: "This should be the place where a predecessor lived in seclusion. I also found a solitary grave not far away. Although it is just a solitary grave without any inscriptions, I think it should be that predecessor's."

After saying that, Pao Zhen raised his palm, circulated his Qi, and slapped the vines hard.

There was a "click" sound, and the sound was like the sound of a mechanism being activated and starting to operate.

Then, the vines in front of us actually trembled for a while, and finally, a few vines seemed to come alive. After twisting for a while, they actually pulled out from the tangled vines.

After these vines went through an extremely complicated operation, a space that could accommodate one person appeared in front of us.

"Let's go." Pao Zhen walked in first, and then we followed in one after another.

However, when we entered the inner space and saw the scene in front of us, we were stunned.

Even Hu Zi widened his eyes and whispered in astonishment: "Oh my god, this place... is it a fairyland?"

Hu Zi was right. The place we were in at the moment was really out of tune with the old forest before.

It was late autumn now. Although the old forest was still green, some vegetation had lost the vitality of spring and summer, and the forest was also filled with golden fallen leaves.

But here, it was full of vitality. Whether it was flowers, plants, or trees, they were all green, and there were even many flowers in full bloom.

This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the climate here is very warm. It feels as if we have traveled to another warm spring world the moment we entered the entrance.

There is even a layer of light mist in the air. The mist is light but not dissipated. It hovers in the air, covering several small hills nearby. It really gives people a feeling of a fairyland on earth.

"The Qi here is very rich. Could it be that someone has set up a formation to gather the Qi around here?" I frowned and looked around with a puzzled look.

This is a completely closed space, covering an area of ​​several kilometers.

It was surrounded by tangled vines all around. Those vines were like a wall, wrapping up the space completely. It felt like we were locked in a ball.

Looking at the strange scene in front of me, I was stunned.

How much skill was required to let all the vines entangle together to form a closed space?

This was not as simple as setting up a formation, but also involved architecture and mechanism.

Pao Zhen smiled when he saw my astonishment and said, "When I first arrived here, I was also really astonished by everything here. To be able to have such a handicraft, the hermit must be very extraordinary."

"Uncle Pao, are you sure... there is no one here?" I said in astonishment.

I just made a preliminary observation and found that there are more than one formation here. It can be said that this wide sealed space is covered by layers of formations.

So many formations require a constant supply of energy to maintain operation, and the formation eye also needs maintenance over time, otherwise it is impossible to keep running.

"I'm sure there isn't any." Pao Zhen shook his head: "I have explored this place more than once. There is nothing else except that lonely grave, so don't worry. Next, you can practice here with peace of mind."

"Dad, let's go to the thatched cottage." Ling'er suddenly said.

"Yes." Pao Zhen nodded, and then took us to the thatched cottage not far ahead.

The so-called thatched cottage is two thatched houses. I don't know how long these two thatched houses have been there. They are crooked and look like they are about to collapse.

After we put our belongings in place, Pao Zhen first took us to repair the thatched cottage. We were busy with this work for two days.

During these two days, Hu Zi and I had to go in and out of this space from time to time to cut trees from outside and carry them back.

After two days of observation, I have roughly figured out the terrain here.

And the more I understand this place, the more shocked I am.

Because this place is not just covered by a few magic arrays, even the terrain has been improved.

There is a small hill about two kilometers away from Maolu. The hill should have been an ordinary barren mountain, but now it has been transformed into a waterfall.

Although the hill is only seven or eight meters high, it is enough to make people feel shocked.

You know, if you want to transform a barren mountain into a waterfall, the project is quite huge.

The first is to divert water from the source. On the way, you have to open mountains and build channels, and ensure that the spring water is clear. The amount of engineering involved is simply unimaginable.

Then there is the destination of the huge amount of spring water flowing down from the waterfall, which is another big project.

In short, this seemingly small sealed space of only a few kilometers requires a huge amount of engineering to build. It is not something that can be completed overnight. Moreover, I dare to be sure that a lot of manpower must have been mobilized when it was built.

"Who is the owner of this place who can mobilize such a huge energy? Has he really... passed away?"

I was suspicious of what Pao Zhen said, that the owner of this place had passed away.

However, Pao Zhen had discovered this place for several years. During these years, he would come here every once in a while. Apart from himself, no one else had come here.

So Pao Zhen concluded that the reclusive person might have passed away.

"Hey."

Xiao Qi suddenly came out of my pocket. She blinked her big eyes and looked around, then said mysteriously: "This place... seems a little wrong."

"Wrong?" I was stunned and asked hurriedly: "What's wrong?"

"I can't explain it clearly, but I just feel something is wrong. Since entering here, I have always had a feeling of uneasiness!"

Xiao Qi's words made me frown.

Xiao Qi was transformed from Luo Shu, and she is very spiritual. After spending a few days with her, I found that her perception is very accurate. Now that she said that something is wrong here, there must be something wrong.

But what is the problem?

I looked at the green mountains and forests and the waterfalls flowing in the distance, and fell into deep thought for a while.

"Brother Qianyu, Brother Huzi, it's time to eat."

Ling'er's voice interrupted my thoughts. I took a deep breath and said to Xiaoqi, "Be careful during this period and tell me if you find anything wrong."

Unexpectedly, Xiaoqi turned his head away and said angrily, "Why should I listen to you? I won't!"

"Here, here's a strawberry." I calmly took out a strawberry from my pocket. Xiaoqi's eyes lit up immediately when he saw it. He rubbed his hands and said, "Okay, but... I want two."

"..."

After dinner, Huzi and I returned to the thatched hut to rest.

In the past few days, we first rushed to travel overnight, and after arriving here, we repaired the house for two consecutive days, which caused us to be a little exhausted. I was fine, but Hu Zi was very tired. After entering the house, he fell on the bed and snored a few minutes later.

"This guy is really careless!"

I couldn't help shaking my head, and then I lay on the bed.

Although I was a little tired in the past two days, maybe it was because I came to a strange environment, which made me feel uneasy in my heart. In addition, Hu Zi's snoring was like thunder, which made me toss and turn and couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

"Hey." Xiao Qi came out again, looked at Hu Zi, and then said, "I feel like something is coming."

I was startled when I heard it, and then I sat up from the bed.

"Something is coming? What is it?" I asked in surprise.

"I don't know." Xiao Qi shook his head and said, "That thing gave me a very evil feeling, as if it was full of malice towards everything, but... my perception could not lock it, it often disappeared in my perception, it was coming soon."

Xiao Qi showed a look of fear, and I was also shocked: "It's coming? What on earth is it? Why can't I feel anything!"
