After landing, Tianjihong ignored his bleeding arm and hurriedly looked up at the wooden sign above. To his delight, the dagger he just threw successfully hit the edge of the wooden sign and stone pillar before the shield was restored, and it was now inserted diagonally into the stone wall. And what excites him the most is that Tianjihong saw that the token showed obvious signs of being pried after the violent collision, and was now on the verge of collapse. As long as I find a way to shake it even a little bit, I should be able to completely make the wooden sign fall off the stone pillar.
Of course, it would definitely not work to launch an offensive from the bottom of the stone pillar. This method was not only tried by Tianjihong from the beginning, but also the corpses lying at his feet must have been thought of before his death. However, due to the blessing of the protective shield above, the offensive launched from the outside towards the stone pillar has no effect at all. If you want to shake the wooden sign now, you still have to block the effect of the protective shield in advance.
But now the situation has changed. The wooden sign above the head has become loose after the collision with the dagger. According to Tian Jihong's observation, as long as a little more force is applied at this time, it will fall naturally. He no longer needs to risk his life and try to contact the wooden sign with his body like he did just now. So after simply treating the wound on his arm with ointment, Tianjihong immediately began to search the ground for the fragments that had fallen from mid-air.
What made him feel a little distressed was that the fragment fell downwards after dissolving the spiritual power of the shield. On the way, it still failed to escape the scattered ripples of spiritual power. On the way to the ground, it was cut by a silk thread into large and small pieces. Two petals. Tianjihong also felt a little regretful when he looked at the fragment in his hand, which was only as thick as his little finger. Obviously, it would be difficult for fragments of this size to be used as weapons against enemies in the future.
This actually shows once again that the ripples of the magic circle in the sky have powerful destructive power. Even the snake turtle, which is a spiritual beast, could not shake the fragment embedded in it with all its strength. As a result, the moment it touched the ripples today, it was It turned into two parts. It was a very wise decision not to touch it directly with my body just now.
Fortunately, the remaining two fragments can still be used. This time, Tianjihong did not choose to take the risk of keeping his arm within the coverage of the ripples. With the previous successful experience, he first approached closely, and used his fingertips to stick to the fragment that was only as wide as his little finger, and moved towards the shield. The core was stabbed out. But then, he was already wary of the rebound force of the shield. This time, he retracted his arm in advance when it hit the node.
To be on the safe side, Tianjihong did not choose to throw foreign objects at the center of the wooden sign like before. Just now, in order to seize that momentary opening, I almost lost a piece of my arm in the intertwining ripples on the way back. Now that the wooden sign was about to break away, Tianjihong already had a better solution. At the moment when the shield in front of him became illusory, Tianjihong flew up and kicked hard towards the stone pillar below.
At the same time that the upper shield collapsed, the inside of the stone pillar in front of him briefly lost the blessing of spiritual power. After Tianjihong's powerful foot, stone chips immediately flew and began to shake slightly in mid-air. With Tianjihong's current strength, he still couldn't completely kick off a thick stone pillar that was a foot high in an instant, but the result he expected had been achieved. As the stone pillar below continued to sway, the wooden sign, which was already loose at one corner, was knocked off the top by the impact as expected. Immediately, the magic circle that had been maintained above the head began to become dim without the blessing of the wooden sign, as if it was instantly dissolved in the air.
As the token fell, the ripples of spiritual energy that maintained the magic circle with the outside world gradually dimmed. After Tianjihong landed safely for the second time, he looked up again and found that the fatal threads in the air had become transparent. . After losing the effect of the magic circle, the entire area was like a funnel, spreading outward from the central position where he was, and the surrounding environment began to slowly become clearer. The fog that had been covering the whole body slowly receded with the rising clouds and smoke, and the bright sunshine was once again visible above his head.
As the illusion formation was lifted, Tianjihong finally saw the true appearance of the area he was in. In the area he set foot on, apart from the bones lying everywhere, the water pool he passed along the way also stood quietly behind him. The position he was standing at this time was on a narrow island at the end of the water pool. Due to the influence of the surrounding water, it was rare that he was not surrounded by towering trees. Instead, there was a vibrant green grassland around the pond.
Because there were no branches to cover him, Tianjihong found that it was past early morning when he looked up in the direction of the sun. At this time, the rising sun had already risen some distance from the ridges in the east. Lost in the illusion, he was really lost in the alternation of time. He didn't realize that he was trapped inside it for the whole night.
He didn't know if this was good news for him. If outsiders learned that as a young monk, he had spent just one night to crack the trap of countless spiritual beasts and monks. Will the illusion of hundreds of years shock everyone's eyes? Of course, another advantage for him is that the night in the jungle has always been a time when spiritual beasts are more active. He accidentally stumbled into the illusion and survived a dark night, which actually allowed him to unintentionally avoid many dangers in the darkness. . It will be somewhat safer now to return to daylight.
However, Tian Jihong himself was not happy. Not to mention whether his younger brother and Master Li Ming were worried about his late return all night. At present, the direction of the footsteps he was following along the same road had deviated. Previously, he had planned to catch up with the three people in front of him to see if he could use their help to leave the basin. However, after a night of delay, Tianjihong was not sure how far the distance between the two parties had been extended.
Now all Tian Jihong hopes is that the few people in front of him choose to stop at night like him, so that he may still have the possibility to catch up with them. However, after looking around at the pieces of skeletons around him, Tian Jihong decided to stay for a few more minutes to search the place carefully. These beings who have been trapped here are all tens or hundreds of times more powerful than themselves. There may not be much left after the corpses of spirit beasts rot, but if they were monks, they might have some rare treasures left on them during their lifetimes.
Of course, Tianjihong first bent down and picked up the fallen wooden sign at his feet. He knew that even if he couldn't find anything else of value here, at least the token with a powerful illusion circle inscribed in front of him would be enough to make up for him. of loss. After losing the power supply of the outer shield, the spiritual energy fluctuations around this somewhat moldy token had long since disappeared, and now it looked as ordinary as a piece of rotten wood.
Tianjihong still couldn't see anything special about it after repeatedly identifying its appearance. This shows that its previous owner must have had a way to turn decay into magic, and carved the miniature of the magic circle that was running on the top of the stone pillar into the inner area of the token in a way that outsiders cannot detect. If he hadn't witnessed its miraculous effect with his own eyes, Tian Jihong would probably have regarded it as useless firewood like other people when he first saw it.
However, what Tianjihong is more interested in is the effect of this token on the magic circle. It can expand the effect of the magic circle that is less than a foot wide just above the head to cover the entire water pool area, and maintain the operation of the magic circle. For decades or hundreds of years; apart from the spiritual support of the shield, there must be something magical about the wooden tablet in his hand, but with my own knowledge, I can't tell the mystery at all.
After that, he also tried to use his own spiritual power to activate the wooden cards, but the released spiritual power ultimately seemed to be lost in the sea and had no effect. It seems that if you want to display the power of this wooden sign, you will definitely not be able to rely on spiritual power alone. Obviously, you also need to have profound knowledge of formation layout. Only by asking an expert who is proficient in formation one day can you crack this. The secret of the wooden sign.
Next, Tianjihong carefully put a small fragment that fell to the ground into the package. His successful rescue today was all due to the efficacy of this fragment. If he used it properly in the future, he might be able to save himself many times.
After doing all this, Tianjihong did not explore the restored shield between the stone pillars in front of him. At the original position of the shield, there is no longer a wooden sign as a medium, so the spiritual energy stored in it no longer needs to be supplied to the magic circle. Now it is all blessed in the stone pillar in front of it. It is still difficult for Tianjihong to imagine what level of strength he must reach to be able to casually place a protective shield in this barren mountain and maintain it for hundreds of years without dissipating.
After turning his gaze to the bones beside him, Tianjihong finally immersed himself in searching in a field of bones. He had been deeply impressed by several human bones when he was exploring the road before. However, his life was in danger at that time and he didn't have time yet. Go worry about the treasure hunt. Now that everything has settled, Tianjihong can't wait to start searching for useful things.
Although the pond for only two or three miles was filled with rows of bones, none of the corpses were left recently. There were no traces of flesh and blood on the bones, and there was no smell of corpses in the air. The rotten smell. Since this area has been covered by illusions for a long time, no spiritual beast will notice the movement here in a short period of time, so Tianjihong can confidently and boldly search for various relics around.
After turning over the corpses of four or five monks in succession, Tianjihong's harvest was not too small. Although most of the low-quality weapons were corroded into rusty iron, Tianjihong still found a battle armor made of special material and two copper-green plum blossom darts among them. This battle armor made of bright silver is of better quality among several relics. From the appearance, it is made of silver wire and is more detailed than ordinary mail armor. It looks more like a shining silver armor. Vest. At the same time, the bright silver material makes the armor itself not only resistant to the erosion of time, but also much lighter than ordinary chain armor.
