In order not to alarm the Shaxi beast, Zhou Yang and others formulated an action plan and began to divide work and cooperate, each performing their own duties.
Zhou Yang has the strongest spiritual consciousness and is responsible for monitoring the movements of the Shaxi Beast.
The You brothers and Qi Jiang and Qi He were responsible for cleaning up the yellow sand above, while Qi Sihai and Xi Danjin were responsible for moving the yellow sand elsewhere.
On the sand dune, everyone was busy, and the sand beast below was not idle either. It was frantically looking for water.
The people above were not only looking for water, but also vaguely looking forward to something.
Removing the yellow sand in the flowing desert is naturally very difficult for a mortal. Moreover, there are strong winds blowing from time to time. If you are not careful, all your efforts will be in vain.
But cultivators are naturally different from ordinary people. They have magical power, spiritual power, and all kinds of powerful magical weapons. It is natural to remove the flowing yellow sand.
One foot, two feet, three feet... As the sand dunes gradually turned into sand pits, Zhou Yang and the others' hearts began to rise.
The Shaxi beast has been arching below for a long time, but it is nothing but stone, but it guides the direction for the people above.
Suddenly, Zhou Yang frowned and looked carefully again.
However, in his consciousness, the shadow of the Shaxi beast disappeared, and a living creature disappeared in an instant under his eyes!
"What's going on?" Zhou Yang tried his best to spread his spiritual consciousness, but was blocked by the stones under the yellow sand and could not penetrate further.
"Could it be that it found a secret passage?" This is the only explanation, otherwise where would that guy go?
As soon as the Shaxi beast disappeared, the rocks below were once again covered with yellow sand, making it much more difficult to detect with spiritual consciousness.
But that doesn't matter. The location where the stone appeared has been determined, and everyone can just dig down in this direction.
Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the stone area, there was a sudden change in the sky. A hurricane suddenly arose, sand filled the sky, and countless tornadoes came at high speed. In just a few breaths, everyone was buried in a sand pit of more than ten feet.
The incident happened suddenly, and everyone tried their best to use their magical powers to disperse the wild sand. However, the strong wind was too strong, and the waves came one after another. Even their bodies were a little unsteady.
Others are fine, but Xiao Qimei's situation is a bit dangerous.
Everyone was working, and Qi Mei only stood on the edge of the pit. However, a strong wind blew her down immediately.
Qi Sihai was shocked and hurriedly reached out to pick it up, but the raging sand obscured his sight, so he picked it up in vain. Qi Mei was instantly buried by the yellow sand.
The two brothers Qi Jiang and Qi He were also anxious. With their magic power rolling wildly, they desperately waved away the flying sand around them and looked for Qi Mei in a hurry.
At this time, the entire desert was dark, and there was raging sand everywhere. The big hole they dug with so much hard work was refilled in an instant, and even people were buried in it.
"Qi Mei is below! You Qing, protect Qi Mei!" Zhou Yang tried his best to spread his consciousness, and Qi Mei's figure appeared in his sight, not far from You Qing, so he hurriedly sent a message, Then he sent a message to Qi Sihai, asking him to rest assured.
"The matter has come to this, and there is no room outside. Let's continue digging downwards, towards the big rock area!"
The wind and sand were so strong that it was impossible to open the mouth, so Zhou Yang had to send a message one by one to inform everyone to dig deeper.
Everyone took the order and tried their best to use their magical powers to disperse the wind and sand.
"Sir, it's stone bricks!" You Chi dug underneath first and hurriedly reported back to Zhou Yang.
Zhou Yang raised his hand to throw away the pile of yellow sand and stepped on it. It was indeed very hard.
He moved his feet apart and wiped away the yellow sand on both sides, revealing rows of stone bricks.
"The stone bricks have been treated and cannot be moved at all. We have to search around for the entrance!" You Chi tried several times, but even the best magical weapons could not move the stone bricks at all.
"Everyone split up and look for the entrance!" Zhou Yang transmitted the message to everyone again.
You Qing had handed Qi Mei over to Qi Sihai. Except for their father and daughter, everyone else spread out and searched along the stone bricks in the ground.
They were all having a hard time at this time. They had to cast spells to disperse the yellow sand, and their consciousness had to be concentrated at all times. They were all very tired.
Everyone fought for more than half an hour and searched the area for several miles, but there was nothing but gray stone bricks.
"It's impossible. That Shaxi beast can find the entrance, why can't we?" Zhou Yang was anxious. If he couldn't find the entrance anymore, these people would be unable to hold on. Once they stopped, all their previous efforts would be wasted.
"Ah!" Suddenly, Xi Danjin screamed. When everyone glanced at her with their consciousness, they found that she had disappeared.
Zhou Yang was shocked. Xi Danjin disappeared in the same way as the Shaxi beast, and he didn't see clearly how he disappeared.
"This is the Ancient Ghost Forbidden!" Qi Sihai suddenly sent a message to Zhou Yang.
"Ancient ghost ban? What kind of ban is this?" This is the first time Zhou Yang has heard of this kind of ban.
"The Ghost Forbidden Law is one of the ancient restrictions. It is extremely mysterious. After the restriction is set up, ordinary cultivators cannot find the entrance at all. They can only wait for the opportunity to enter from time to time, and the place of entry is controlled by the person who set up the formation." Qi Sihai explained.
"Wouldn't that mean that Xi Danjin fell into a man-made dangerous place?"
Zhou Yang finally understood. This kind of forbidden formation is to lead the enemy into a prepared place, and then the person who sets up the formation will decide his life or death.
"Exactly. However, this place has been abandoned for a long time and no one should control it. Maybe the dangerous place has failed." Qi Sihai said again.
"Is there a way to break this formation?"
"The ghost forbidden method is very subtle, and now we are in such a situation, it is really difficult to break it with my subordinates' formation skills." Qi Sihai shook his head.
He was telling the truth. With his ability, even if he placed this formation on the ground, he could not find the correct entrance even if he tried to crack it, not to mention that the entire formation was still buried in the long yellow sand. .
Unable to break the formation, there were only two options before them. One was to give up and leave as soon as possible. Because a big living person fell like this, maybe someone else will fall after a long time.
The second is to continue looking for the entrance and rescue Xi Danjin.
Except for Zhou Yang, everyone else naturally preferred the first path.
Xi Danjin has nothing to do with them, and even has hatred. It would be better if he died.
However, no one spoke. Zhou Yang was the superior here, and we could only wait for him to make a decision.
Xiao Qimei was rather worried about Xi Danjin. Although they were enemies before, this eldest sister took good care of her along the way. The relationship between the two was good, and her true nature was revealed at this time.
"Everyone go up first!" Zhou Yang thought over and over again and finally made a decision.
"Where's Sister Xi!" Xiao Qimei called out, but Qi Sihai ignored her and directly held her and flew upwards. The others also jumped upwards.
"Sir, you!" When everyone flew up, Zhou Yang was the only one missing. You Chi looked back and saw that he was still in a deep pit.
"You guys stay up there for a while, and I'll look for it again." Zhou Yang sent a message to You Chi.
Hearing this, You Chi jumped down without hesitation, and so did You Qing.
Qi Jiang and Qi He also wanted to jump down, but were stopped by Qi Sihai. He said solemnly: "We must obey your orders carefully, and there must be people on top. If something unexpected happens, there will be someone to take care of them."
"Father, it's extremely dangerous down there. Sir, he..."
"It's a good wait!" Qi Sihai shouted.
"Yes!" The two of them had no choice but to obey.
At this time, the wind and sand were still very strong, and it was night. The movements of Zhou Yang and the You brothers under the pit were very blurry. Qi Jiang and Qi He looked closely, but they could not see clearly, and they were very worried.
Before, Zhou Yang heard Qi Sihai briefly explain the mystery of the ghost forbidden method, but he only got a rough idea and knew that finding the entrance was the key to cracking it.
However, the stone bricks under the pit cover a radius of more than ten miles. Every square brick may be the entrance. If you try one by one, it is obviously impossible to do it.
Zhou Yang secretly hated that he had neglected to practice the battle method, and now he was in a situation where he had no way to start.
He was also anxious, violently destroying his magic power, waving his palms continuously, and slamming the bricks under the pit, which caused even more sand to fly under the pit.
The You brothers followed suit and struck hard with their palms, sending vortexes of mana sweeping around.
"Brother!" Suddenly, You Qing shouted from the flying sand.
"What happened?" Zhou Yang turned around and asked urgently. He couldn't see clearly the location of the You brothers.
"He, he's gone too!"
"What!" Zhou Yang was shocked. The ghost formation once again showed its power and swallowed another big living person. I was really angry.
"Fly up quickly!" Zhou Yang said urgently.
"I want to find my elder brother!" You Qing cried. His only relative in the world was swallowed up by the formation. How could he leave alone.
"This can't go on like this, or we'll all have to answer for it!" Zhou Yang gave the order again.
"We will die together!" You Qing insisted and refused to leave, but as soon as he finished speaking, there was no movement in his direction.
"You Qing!" Zhou Yang was shocked again. What kind of formation was this? How could it devour cultivators repeatedly?
Xi Danjin and the You brothers were all swallowed up by the formation. Although he was extremely anxious, he knew that there was nothing he could do. If he continued to look for them, he would be swallowed up.
With a sigh in his heart, Zhou Yang wanted to fly up, but it was too late. He only felt a huge suction coming from him. The next moment, his head felt dizzy and he lost consciousness instantly.
Qi Sihai and his son were trying their best to use their spiritual consciousness to observe the movement under the pit, but they found that the three people disappeared one after another, and finally even Zhou Yang disappeared. They were all shocked and inexplicable.
Qi Sihai shouted at Qi Jiang and Qi He to retreat. He was frightened by this formation.
"Father, you are gone too! What should I do?" Qi Jiang's expression was extremely ugly.
"Alas, everyone has his own destiny, and it is not something you or I can control. You have also seen that the formation here is very weird. It can eat people alive. As a father, I am helpless. So what should I do?" Qi Sihai sighed. There was a sound.
"Father, look over there!" Qi Jiang suddenly shouted.
"What, this is a storm of clouds and sand!" Qi Sihai's face changed wildly.
At the same time, thousands of miles away on Daquan Mountain.
"Young Master, leave quickly, I'm afraid this mountain is going to collapse!" Shan Tong said anxiously.
Seeing that Dan Ge was still hesitating, Shan Tong and another big man in black stepped forward eagerly, bowed and urged the young master to leave quickly.
