Xuanhu was confused. What's going on? I just asked you a question. Is it necessary to embarrass me by scolding me in front of so many people? His face was sullen, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, but he endured it and left silently, never coming forward to speak again.
Cheng Ling didn't notice it at all and just kept getting angry. After a long time, I regained my composure and continued to return to the first patch of grass to deduce the node position again.
Liu Qingyan and Jian Yinghao looked at each other with a hint of worry. Cheng Ling's behavior was so abnormal. He was completely different from his previous calmness and wisdom. He became very irritable. Both of them noticed the murderous intent in Xuanhu's eyes and were secretly vigilant. But what's more worrying is his mentality.
Ten days later, the first grass ban was lifted. Continue to the second place, but when you arrive at the second place, only ten days have passed, and before all the restrictions have been deduced, you can't wait to crack them.
After making dozens of handprints, his face became even more gloomy. The order of the prohibitions deduced was wrong, and the grass changed again, so he had to start over again. He took a deep breath, suppressed the rage in his heart, closed his eyes, and slowly opened them after a long time.
Liu Qingyan was concerned and stepped forward to persuade: "Cheng Ling, don't act too hastily, calm down, you will definitely be able to do it!"
Cheng Ling nodded slightly, then returned to the first patch of grass and re-deduce it again.
There was a trace of worry in everyone's eyes, and Xuan Hu said gloomily: "It seems that he has stopped here. The formation in front of us cannot be broken at all. We should find a way out on our own!"
The mad lion hesitated for a long time, unable to make up his mind. Yanxiong said from the side: "Boss, this kid has a perverse temperament and caused us a lot of suffering along the way, but he himself was unscathed. By now, his talent has been exhausted, and we don't need to look at his face anymore!"
The blood wolf opened his mouth and wanted to speak but held back. He was still grateful to Cheng Ling, who saved him twice and kept him alive. Otherwise, he would have died in the Blood Demon area. It's just that the four demons have always advanced and retreated together. Now two of them have begun to have doubts about Cheng Ling, and they can't express their opinions in support of Cheng Ling.
The crazy lion thought for a long time and finally decided: "Well, looking at him like that, he is indeed a bit reluctant. We can find a way out on our own. I don't believe it. It has been more than ten years and we still can't find a way to leave!"
The three of them agreed, and the four demon generals left the team to find their own way out.
Zhong Changsheng watched the four demons leave, his heart palpitating, but he did not dare to leave alone, so he said to Yuankong City: "Fellow Daoist Yuan, I see that it has been more than half a year, and Daoist Cheng has been lingering here. You see, he is broken What’s the hope for the formation?”
Yuan Kongcheng shook his head and said nothing.
Zhong Changsheng continued: "How about we look around like the four fellow Taoists who met in the forest, and maybe we can find a way to leave!"
Yuan Kongcheng lowered his head and thought in his heart.
At this time, Qinghuang sent a message and said: "Fellow Daoist Yuan, considering that we have hunted down Xie Feng together, I will give you a piece of advice. Only by following Cheng Ling closely can there be any hope of leaving. It’s all falsehood, it’s up to you to choose where to go.”
Yuan Kongcheng glanced at her, and finally made up his mind, saying: "Friend Zhong Dao, I believe Cheng Ling, if you want to leave, you can leave by yourself!"
Zhong Changsheng's expression changed and he said no more, but he stood still and did not move.
Liu Yun glanced at Cheng Ling, turned to Xie Feng and asked, "Xie Feng, do we want to wait here?"
Xie Feng nodded slowly, his face expressionless, and said, "Don't worry, I believe he will find a way!"
Soon, another month passed. Cheng Ling returned to the third node in a month, but this time, his heart was even more confused. The restrictions in the grass were so dense and entangled that it was impossible to clear them clearly.
His face became increasingly gloomy, his mental energy was greatly exhausted, and his black hair was already half white.
Seeing this situation, Zhong Changsheng gritted his teeth and finally resisted

Unable to control his temper, he left the team and went to find a way out on his own.
Cheng Ling didn't care about the departure of the five people. His mind was now full of life and death. In his mind, the messy thoughts seemed to be mixed together. After a while, his face seemed to be covered with a layer of black air, half My white hair turned completely white after just three days.
The three girls, Gu Youlan, Bai Yiyi, and Xiyan, felt very distressed when they saw the strands of silver hair falling off. They really wanted to step forward and let him have a good rest. However, they were blocked by Liu Qingyan and Jian Yinghao, and they were determined not to disturb them now.
They were also worried that Cheng Ling's condition was becoming more and more abnormal, and they were afraid of falling into a demonic barrier!
Ten days later, his condition got even worse. He lost a lot of weight, his eyes were blood red, his mental energy was almost dry, and the black spots in his soul gradually increased, reaching one-fifth of the total, which was higher than the sea level. The black spots occupied by both father and mother are larger.
Seeing him getting thinner and haggard like he was boiling oil, Liu Qingyan couldn't bear it anymore and was about to stop him. But he saw a large mouthful of blood spurting out, and the grass in front of him was suddenly stained with blood red. Then, his body seemed to be unable to bear the force, and he fell softly, and the blood in his mouth gurgled uncontrollably.
Everyone was shocked and rushed over. They squatted beside him one by one and shouted: "Cheng Ling, how are you? Answer me quickly!"
"Brother Ling, how are you? Don't scare me!"
"Boss"
"Owner"
"master"
The screams were endless, Qinghuang's face was anxious, and he was standing aside, unable to squeeze in to watch. Xie Feng frowned, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes!
Liu Qingyan grabbed Cheng Ling's arm, and the vitality power of Muxiang Lingjue was continuously input into it. Among everyone, she was the only one who had advanced the Wood Phase Spirit Art to the second level, with the strongest vitality.
After a long time, she said: "Don't worry, he is just over-consumed, and he can recover as long as he rests for a while!"
Everyone was relieved, crying and laughing, not knowing what to say. Liu Qingyan said: "Xiyan, go find a secret place and let him rest for a few days!"
Xi Yan took the order and took Zhang Hu and Wu Chenlong with her.
Liu Qingyan glanced at Jian Yinghao, and the latter said: "Youlan, Yiyi, you guys are watching from outside."
Gu Youlan and Bai Yiyi glanced at him, then walked ten feet away from Song Yingjie and sat down cross-legged to avoid the others approaching. Jian Yinghao looked at the Zidian Black Turtle and said calmly: "Ancestor Zidian, your master needs to rest, why isn't he still on guard outside?"
Eunuch Hai's face darkened and he waited for a long time before leaving!
Qinghuang took two steps forward, came to Gu Youlan's side, and asked, "How is Fellow Daoist Cheng doing?"
Gu Youlan said: "It doesn't matter, Senior Liu said it was just excessive wear and tear, and it will recover in a few days!"
Qinghuang nodded, said, "That's good!" and walked away.
Xie Feng and Liu Yun stood aside. Liu Yun wanted to step forward to see Cheng Ling's condition, but because Xie Feng didn't move, she could only stand beside him and suppressed the urge to check.
Jian Yinghao waited for everyone to leave, then sent a message and asked: "Senior, how is Brother Cheng?"
Liu Qingyan's face darkened, and she said: "The true energy in his body is very disordered, and his mental power is almost dry. When he checked the body before, even some of his soul was covered with black spots. The condition is not good!"
Jian Yinghao was shocked and asked: "Is there a way to recover?"
Liu Qingyan smiled bitterly and shook her head, saying: "I can only try my best to protect his heart. As for his mental power and soul, he can only rely on himself! Unfortunately, there is no elixir to restore the soul, and we can't break his ring." open!"
Jian Yinghao frowned, and after a long time, he said: "Senior, the situation in front of us is very unfavorable. The four demon generals, Xie Feng, and Zhong Changsheng are all at odds with Brother Cheng. We must be more vigilant."

"Yes, I will let Xiyan and the others find a secret place first. Then we will take turns to look after them outside to make sure nothing goes wrong."
"Okay! Fortunately, the four demon generals and Zhong Changsheng have left. There is only Xie Feng now, so it shouldn't be a big problem. However, there is still one person, how should we deal with him?"
"who?"
"Purple Lightning Black Turtle!"
A flash occurred in Liu Qingyan's mind, and her expression suddenly changed. She pondered for a long time and asked, "Do you think he will be harmful to Cheng Ling?"
Jian Yinghao said: "Brother Cheng has fallen into a coma and cannot recover. In this situation, isn't it better than catching him or killing him? Who can control the Purple Lightning Black Turtle!"
Liu Qingyan pondered for a while and said: "What you said makes sense, this matter has to be guarded against. In this way, there are eight of us left, two of us will monitor the Purple Lightning Black Turtle, and two will take care of Cheng Ling, rotating every day." Qinghuang said I’m going to fight for it from my friend, hoping she can help!”
Jian Yinghao agreed: "That's very good. Let's do it the way our seniors did!"
The two of them had reached a consensus, and not long after, Xiyan turned around and said that she had found a safe place. Jian Yinghao picked up Cheng Ling, called to Gu Youlan and the others, and walked towards the secret place Xi Yan had found.
When they arrived at their location, they discovered that the grass in that area was very lush, almost as tall as half a person. Xi Yan and the others used magic to create an earth house. The roof and surroundings of the earth house were covered with thick withered grass. Looking from the outside, it was hard to tell the difference for a while.
Jian Yinghao nodded slightly. Although this place could not be said to be secretive, it was blended in with the weeds in a plain. At least in appearance, they were indistinguishable from each other.
He carried Cheng Ling into the earthen hut and ordered: "From today on, everyone will take turns to be on duty. There must be at least two people beside Brother Cheng. The other two are several miles away from the earthen hut, hiding their bodies and paying attention at all times. understand?"
Everyone nodded, and Xi Yan said: "Brother Jian, let me be on duty tonight!"
"Well, you and Zhang Hu will be watching over Brother Cheng tonight. Yiyi, you and I will be on guard outside! The rest of the people should take a break and don't relax in their cultivation. Only by improving your own cultivation can you share the pressure for Brother Cheng as much as possible. .”
Everyone nodded silently and left one by one to practice!
The earthen house was built very cleverly. From the outside, it looked like a short one-story building, only about half a person tall, almost the same height as the weeds outside. However, it was dug deep inside, to a depth of four to five feet.
Xi Yan divided it into two layers, with the upper layer used for observation and the lower layer as Cheng Ling's resting place. She also specially smeared a thick layer of palm tree sap on the outer wall of the earthen house so that people outside could not see what was going on inside the earthen house.
When she was in the Black Mist Forest, she heard Cheng Ling talk about the effects of palm tree sap, so she took it seriously and collected a lot of it, but she didn't expect that it would actually be used now.
At the bottom of the earthen house, Cheng Ling was lying quietly on the withered grass, his brows furrowed, his face seemed to be covered with a layer of black air, his skinny body became thinner and thinner, and except for the beating of his chest, he could not feel any signs of life.
Xi Yan sat next to him, leaning her head gently on her chest, feeling her heart beating slowly and feeling extremely distressed. A pair of eyes were red, and crystal tears rolled down her cheeks. Zhang Hu stood aside, also mentally disturbed, and comforted: "Don't worry, Miss, the master will definitely wake up."
Xi Yan choked up and said, "He has worked so hard during this journey. I just hope that he can relax and live happily every day."
"Miss, you should understand the master. He has his own ideas, pursuit of monasticism, and friendship with Bai Suzhen and us. He tried his best just to protect us, alas! I only hate myself for being too lazy in the past. , if he had learned the formation with the master earlier, he wouldn’t have to worry about it alone.”
Xiyan smiled bitterly, the formation method is profound and profound, how can he be so easy to learn. Even with Cheng Ling's current level, he is trapped in the plain here and cannot leave!
