Zhou Yang couldn't help but shook his head when he saw this. Others' spiritual awareness and hearing were not as good as his, so naturally they couldn't see or hear.
"Follow me, don't fall far behind, otherwise you risk falling behind!" Zhou Yang took the lead in that direction without any further delay.
"Watch your steps!" Pu Zheng reminded everyone as he walked.
There were many trees along the way, and they had to use their swords to clear the way. After walking like this for a while, Zhou Yang stopped and listened for a moment, and then adjusted the direction and moved forward.
After about half an hour, the sound of running water was already very clear.
"Sure enough, there is the sound of water!" Everyone was very excited.
They hurriedly walked away for another stick of incense. The fog finally faded, and a large forest appeared vaguely in their sight. Behind the forest were two extremely steep peaks that went straight up and down, pouring down from halfway up one of them. There was a waterfall, and the sound of flowing water came from there.
"We are passing through the forest ahead, and between the two peaks is Wangyue Ridge!" Zhou Yang's eyes lit up and he loudly said to everyone, this answer should be confirmed.
Song Laohu and others were very happy when they heard this, and they all let out a long sigh of relief. They finally arrived.
After passing through this mountain forest, the fog was already very thin, and I could see very far.
The waterfall converged into a small river at the foot of the mountain. The water was very clear, and the stones and aquatic plants at the bottom of the river were clearly visible.
"Look, there is really a stone man ahead!" Zhong Ming pointed in one direction and said excitedly.
In front of this small river is a grassland, and in the middle of the grassland is a human-shaped stone statue. The stone statue is forty or fifty feet high, with the blue sky above its head, its feet on the earth, its hands behind its back, and it is looking up at the sky.
This is the symbol of Wangyue Ridge!
Behind the giant stone man is a mountain ridge between the two peaks. This ridge is much shorter than the two peaks on the left and right, and extends inwards, leading to an unknown area.
That should be the residence of Fan Yuan, the three tiger generals.
"Everyone, who of you knows the formation?" Zhou Yang looked at the crowd and asked
"Formation? Hey, you told me earlier. Listen to my elder brother, Linghu Deyi knows some formation techniques. If you know, just bring him here."
"Brother Linghu knows the art of formation?" Zhou Yang was a little surprised.
Linghu Deyi was only in the early stage of Lingtai. He was not very old and his cultivation level was not high. He actually dabbled in battle formations. He was really beyond appearances.
He was in urgent need of something in this area. Among the hundreds of books Uncle Zhong gave him, none were about formations. This shows how rare such books are.
"Exactly, but I'm not sure how much he knows. It's useless to talk about him now. Do any of you know the formation method?" Song Laohu turned to Hu Zhiran and others.
"I know a little bit about it, but it's just a superficial knowledge." Wu Changan, who was behind Hu Zhiran, said.
"Haha, Brother Wu, you and I have been working together for many days, but we haven't leaked a single word!" Zhou Yang was a little surprised. There are really hidden dragons and crouching tigers in Team 36, and Wu Changan is not simple either.
"I have only read a few classics on formation formations and the like. I don't even understand it. How can I dare to do whatever I want to do?" Wu Changan said modestly.
"Okay, then Brother Wu and I will lead the way. Let me declare in advance that I don't understand the formation. If there is any obstruction by the formation, it will be up to Brother Wu to make the decision." Although Zhou Yang does not understand the formation, his spiritual awareness is clear. People can help explore the way forward.
"Fourth brother, Brother Wu, you've got to work, you two, be careful!" Song Huhu ordered.
"It doesn't matter, you should also pay attention. If there is a situation, you must disperse immediately. Okay, let's go!" Zhou Yang waved his hand, and he and Wu Changan took the lead towards the ridge.
It was already sunset, and they didn't want to spend the night outside the ridge. It was more convenient to do things at night.
The only shortcoming is that they are not familiar with the terrain, and they don't know how many people are in Wangyue Ridge, what kind of cultivation they have, and whether there are formation restrictions inside and outside the ridge.
But it’s all here, we can only move forward by groping.
"Brother Zhou, something is wrong! We have been walking for more than half an hour, but why are we still in the mountains and forests? Logically speaking, there should be a road leading to the mountains!" After a while, Wu Changan felt that something was wrong. .
There was no decent road when we entered the mountain, and there were trees, weeds, and rocks everywhere. But after walking for such a long time, it was still like this, and the fog got thicker as we went in. This shouldn't be the case, absolutely shouldn't be the case.
"Then what do you think?" Zhou Yang waved back, stopped and asked.
"Either the direction is wrong, or someone has done something in the forest!"
"How can you do anything in such a huge mountain forest?" Zhou Yang asked puzzled.
"If there are people who know the magic formation, they only need to arrange some formation flags and hide them in the forest. Then what will appear in front of us is the endless mountains and dense forests. But..."
"But what?" Zhou Yang asked.
"The formation is easy to set up, but if it is activated for a long time, it will consume a lot of spiritual stones!"
"Yes, if a forbidden formation is set up in such a large mountain forest, it will require a lot of resources. And since there are spiritual stones, there should be spiritual power fluctuations." Zhou Yang nodded.
"It's not difficult. We also have secret techniques to hide the aura. We can only hide the aura fluctuations in the formation." Wu Changan explained.
"I see. So what should we do?"
"It's a pity that all my formation equipment was left in the sect, otherwise it would more or less be able to see through the illusory formation."
"Use the formation to break the formation?"
"Yes, to see through the illusory formation, you only need to arrange the opposite formation."
"Then where is the center of the illusion array?"
"Of course there are people who control it. As long as you master the formation disk, you can control the formation as you wish."
Zhou Yang has also heard of the formation of flags and formations.
Generally speaking, when setting up some small or portable formations, you must use formation flag formation disks.
However, for some large-scale formations, or powerful formations fixed at a certain place, only formation flags and formation disks are not enough, and more formation equipment and materials are needed, such as Fei Lao's Six Paths Huanyang Formation. , using six types of formation equipment as well as numerous materials and spiritual stones.
Even so, the Six Paths Returning Yang Formation arranged by Mr. Fei is only one-tenth of the power of the original formation.
If he wanted to completely deploy the Six Paths Returning Yang Formation, the amount of spiritual stones and materials consumed would be beyond what Fei Lao could afford.
"Now I'm not sure if it's a phantom formation. Let's go a little further and take a look."
"Okay." Zhou Yang waved his hand and led everyone to move forward.
After walking for about half an hour, the scenery was the same as before, and even the density of the fog was the same.
Zhou Yang and Wu Changan's expressions became extremely ugly. This was definitely a phantom formation, and a very powerful phantom formation!
They even wondered if they had been spinning in circles!
There is no equipment to break the formation right now, what should I do?
But this further proves that Fan Yuan is a true cultivator!
"Brother Zhou, let's spread out and move forward in a certain direction. You wait for the four late cultivators of Lingtai to communicate via voice transmission and get a feel for the situation first." Wu Changan suggested.
"Okay, let's do it like this." There is no other way at this time but this.
The four late cultivators of Lingtai each dispersed in one direction. Song Laohu was impatient and drew out his long knife and slashed left and right, using brute force to clear the way.
After the stick of incense was passed, no one heard from the crowd, but they still gathered together, with their faces livid and their heads filled with rage.
They got together without any sound transmission, and they were basically spinning in place, as if the woods were moving.
"It's his grandma's, I'll wait for each of our magic weapons to get out!" Song Laohu had already become impatient and shouted to rush out.
"Rush out, where are you going? Please point me in the direction!" Zhong Ming said angrily.
"I've fallen into the illusory formation set up by others. If I want to get out, it will be difficult to reach the sky!" Lin Cheng said with a gloomy look on his face.
"If you are making random suspicions here, it is better to find a way to break this formation!" Bai Meng frowned.
"Yes, Junior Brother Wu, you know the formation, how to solve this matter?" Hu Zhiran's eyes showed the last glimmer of hope.
"This..." Wu Changan was also at a loss. It's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice, and there is nothing he can do without the equipment to set up the array.
"Brother Zhou, this..." Wu Changan was helpless, with a dejected look on his face.
"Everyone, please be patient. As long as there is a formation, there will always be a way to break it. We will sit quietly and wait for its power to subside." Zhou Yang had no choice but to comfort him. If he showed his eagerness again, Everyone was even more at a loss for ideas.
"To maintain such a large formation requires a huge amount of spiritual stones. Can Fan Yuan and others afford it? Did he only activate this formation because he went out to do errands?" Even if Zhou Yang was killed, he wouldn't believe it was so big. The magic array will be open all year round.
Being trapped here, how can everyone sit still.
For three days and three nights, Song Dahu and others ran rampant, but they found the same scenery, with the same mountain roads, woods, and dense fog.
As a result, everyone was exhausted, breathless, and naturally irritable to the extreme.
"Damn Fan Yuan, when I rush out, I will cut you into pieces!" Song Laohu was the most impatient and kept cursing.
"Brother Wu, can this kind of illusory formation know our whereabouts?" Zhou Yang was also in a bad mood, but he suppressed his restless mood and opened his mouth to find out.
"If someone is controlling it, he will naturally be able to sense it. However, the degree of perception of such a large formation by the person controlling it is also very limited. For example, some wild beasts enter the phantom formation and bump left and right. In the same situation as me, it is difficult for him to judge. That's it." Wu Changan said patiently.
"Oh. This won't work. Can Brother Wu think of any other way to break the formation?"
"Oh, no." Wu Changan's words made everyone even worse, and everyone looked impatient. Zhong Ming and Lin Cheng cursed and were very dissatisfied with Zhou Yang's decision.
Zhou Yang's energy and blood surged, he was already extremely irritable, his ears were not quiet, and he could hardly hold back and was about to have an attack, but in the end he managed to endure it.
You have to endure it even if you can't help it. You must not start internal strife now, as that will only make things worse.
Forcibly suppressing his irritable mood, Zhou Yang comforted everyone while thinking of good strategies.
Wu Changan also meditated on the spot, thinking hard.
"Whenever the phantom formation has its flags falling in all directions, in addition to borrowing the power of the spirit stone, it must also draw on the power of the earth's veins to supplement it. If the earth's veins are intercepted and drawn, the power of the phantom formation will be greatly damaged, and the power of the spirit stone will It consumes very quickly, and the formation cannot last long." After a long time, Wu Changan suddenly murmured.
