Yizhou.
Mickey's mind was buzzing.
The mention of the small space simply subverted her outlook on life.
What she knew was that Qi practitioners in ancient times could do things that people today cannot do. At first, she understood that Qi practitioners could reach a higher state than today's warriors. Later, with the emergence of the Medicine King Cauldron, , she understood that a qigong practitioner might be very different from a warrior. He could do things that today are considered bizarre and incredible.
The real appearance of small spaces now confirms that perhaps the legends from ancient times may not be really false myths, or they may all be true.
"I remember that there is a legend that was handed down from ancient times, "The Classic of Mountains and Seas". Are all the places mentioned in that book true? Are they all about small spaces?"
Mickey left the beach and walked inland. At the same time, the water stains on her clothes were steaming, and the outside of her body was enveloped in a layer of mist.
"Who knows, you think I know a lot?"
Bai Suxie asked back, speeding up and leaving the beach.
In front of the beach, there are a bunch of jagged rocks, with a gravel path between the rocks.
"This should be a small island, maybe it is the real residence of the sect."
When Suxie Bai set foot on the beach, she had already carefully observed the surrounding environment.
What he mainly observed was the coastline. He could see something just by looking left and right.
"Are there any traps?"
Mickey approached the trail but did not step on it because she could not figure out what dangers lay ahead.
"There may not be one. Even if there is, after so many years, it is probably almost destroyed."
Bai Suxie didn't have so many taboos and walked straight towards the path.
Mickey followed and stepped up.
Bai Suxie's understanding of this small space must be better than hers, so she just needs to follow it now.
Walking along this winding path, Mickey suddenly felt that there might be a formation here.
"Look at the placement of these stones, they seem to correspond to the stars in the sky." Mickey said.
Bai Suxie stopped and looked around carefully, put his hands behind his back, and said slowly: "The Zhoutian Star Formation is a relatively common formation in ancient times."
"What is this formation used for?" Mickey asked.
"When it comes to its uses, it's hard to describe in one word. This formation has derived countless changes, and different changes may have different effects."
Bai Suxie said.
"In other words, you don't know either?" Mickey said.
"Yes, I don't know either."
Bai Suxie looked embarrassed.
He did not study the formations in depth, not to mention that as the ancient spiritual energy dissipated and became thinner, most of the formations from the ancient times had lost their effect.
"Then let's go on."
Mi Qi didn't force anything, and Susie Bai was not a god, so how could she be omnipotent and omniscient.
The two of them continued walking forward...
"Are we... back to square one?"
Mickey always felt something was wrong. The gravel road under her feet and the surrounding environment seemed to be back to the beginning. But when she looked back, she saw not the lake and beach in the distance, but a gray mist, making it difficult to see the environment on the other side. .
"We are indeed back to square one..."
Seeing that Mi Qi was about to retreat, Bai Suxie immediately stopped her.
"Don't go back, the fog is dangerous."
Bai Suxie's expression became serious.
Mickey immediately stopped and stood motionless.
"Is the gray mist poisonous?" Mickey frowned.
"You can throw a piece of meat over and have a look." Bai Suxie suggested.
Mickey immediately took out a piece of wolf meat from his bag and gently threw it out.
As soon as the wolf meat entered the gray fog, the gray fog that originally seemed ordinary suddenly started to move.
The surface of the wolf meat made a sizzling sound, and not long after, the wolf meat had disappeared into the gray mist.
Mickey's eyes showed fear.
She finally saw clearly the nature of the gray mist.
It was not fog at all, but a kind of extremely small bugs, gathered together in countless numbers.
Insects have a strong ability to devour flesh and blood. A small piece of wolf meat was corroded and devoured completely in a short time.
If she had just stepped into the gray mist, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
"The road back has been cut off." Mickey said softly.
"There is no way out, do you still expect us to go back the way we came?" Bai Suxie narrowed his eyes.
"Yes, there is no way out in the first place. If we fall here, it will be impossible to leave through conventional means."
Mickey paused, then continued: "But now we seem to be encountering a maze, and we are back to where we started."
"The maze formation is pretty good, at least it's not a terrifying killing formation."
Bai Suxie breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "I can get out of the maze. Just follow me."
Half an hour later...
"How come this maze is different from the ones I learned before? It's back to the original point." Bai Suxie rubbed his hands and finally looked a little anxious.
Mi Qi really thought that Bai Suxie was confident...but after turning around, she still returned to the same place.
"Let me think about it, maybe I missed something earlier."
Bai Suxie murmured to herself, then looked around and pinched her fingers.
Mickey had no choice but to stop where he was and wait.
Bai Suxie at least still had some thoughts, but she knew nothing about this kind of maze and couldn't say anything.
"I understand. I missed a few things before, but this time it will definitely work."
Bai Suxie raised her eyebrows slightly and began to walk inside faster.
After another half an hour, they returned to the starting point again.
"Sorry, what's the problem?"
Suxie Bai turned away embarrassedly.
He was quite embarrassed this time, but luckily only Mickey could see him here.
While he continued to think, Mickey had already found a stone ridge to sit down on. She took off the gourd and took a sip of water.
From falling into the water, to arriving at the shore, and then wandering around in the maze for a long time, her good physical strength has been almost exhausted. Now she is tired and sleepy. Instead of continuing to walk, it is better to meditate and use her internal energy to recover. Physical energy.
Anyway, looking at Bai Suxie's appearance, he couldn't understand it for a while.
Mi Qi closed her eyes, formed a mudra with her hands, put her tongue against the roof of her mouth, and began to run the internal energy and mind method, walking along the meridians in the body.
As soon as it started running like this, she immediately felt something was wrong.
The speed of internal force operation and the degree of growth are more than ten times faster than usual!
Her internal strength had already entered a bottleneck period, and she had not made any major progress for a long time.
But here, she once again clearly felt her inner strength growing.
This feeling of changing every time she breathed in only happened when she first learned internal skills.
