Tian Xiaoding and his group of seven people went to the Sea of Death Desert northwest of Huaxuanzhou.
On the way, they passed by a strange town. What is unexpected is that they actually got lost somewhere in the town.
They walked into an archway in the town and saw the fog everywhere. At this time, his spiritual consciousness could not be extended too far, and his vision was even more blurry.
From the looming appearance, they could only roughly judge that the place they were at was a bit like a castle. However, they found no signs of human habitation here.
In order to get rid of the fog in front of her and find the right direction, Tian Xiao'e used the skill she learned from the Danting Mountain Li Nu Sect-Qianxun Lotus Technique.
As a result, before the few people had gone far, Tian Xiao'e's spell was attacked and broken. As a result, she was struck back by the spell and suffered internal injuries.
Before everyone could find out who was behind the sabotage, they suddenly heard a woman calling for help.
Senior sister Cheng Yaomai and Lu Tianshuo and his wife went to check, but Roubaozi Dagou never came back and there was no news.
Xiao Ding planned to go over to check it out in person, but was stopped by Ouyang Qing.
Ouyang Qing said that Xiao Ding is the backbone of everyone, and he should stay here to take charge of everyone. If you want to check it out, you should go with her.
However, Xiao Ding shook his head and said, "No, I don't know what's going on over there now. It's too dangerous for you to go there by yourself. How can I rest assured if you go alone?"
Zhang Xiaodie on the side said quickly: "Ms. sir, I can go with sister Qing'er."
Ouyang Qing also said, "You are worried about me going alone. Have you ever thought about how many of us would be worried if you go alone?"
Ou Muyun on the other side also joined in the fun and said, "Yes, yes, Brother Tian, you are the leader of our group. If something happens to you, what should we do?"
"But..." When Xiao Ding was told by them, he didn't know what to do.
Ouyang Qing continued to persuade: "So, let me go. If you are not worried about me going alone, then let Xiaodie go with me. You should be able to rest assured this time."
Xiao Ding looked at Ouyang Qing, then at Zhang Xiaodie, and said hesitantly: "Did you know that Senior Sister and the others also went there alone, but they haven't come back yet."
Ouyang Qing said: "Yes, that's why we have to make another trip. You can rest assured that if Xiaodie and I go there, even if we can't find Senior Sister and the others, we will return in time to report to you. How's it going?"
After Xiao Ding pondered for a moment, he said: "Okay, I'll listen to you just once. When you go there, be more alert. If you find something wrong with the situation, retreat quickly."
Ouyang Qing nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."
After saying that, Ouyang Qing took Zhang Xiaodie and walked towards the source of the cry for help...
Not long after, the voice of the woman calling for help stopped abruptly. Xiao Ding guessed that Ouyang Qing and his two men were already approaching.
This time, Xiao Ding's heart was in his throat. It was his two wives who went there, and this time they were different from the elder sister and his wife.
Although the eldest sister and his wife are very close to Xiao Ding, they are just outsiders. But Ouyang Qing and Zhang Xiaodie were his wives, and they were both members of his family. How could he not worry?
It was still enough time for a cup of tea, and there was no reply from Ouyang Qing and Zhang Xiaodie.
And the woman's voice calling for help sounded again: "Help, help..."
This time, Xiao Ding was really anxious.
Two groups of people ran over to check, but there was no news from them all. There was no feedback at all. How could he not be anxious?
What's more, Ouyang Qing and Zhang Xiaodie are still his favorite wives. If something went wrong with them, how would that make him feel at ease?
Seeing that his sister Tian Xiao'e was still recovering from her injuries, Ou Muyun stared at Tian Xiao'e expectantly.
Xiao Ding thought about it again and again, and finally said it.
"Mu Yun, you are here to protect Xiao'e first. I want to go and check in person. Two groups of them went over, but none of them came back. I think they must have had some accident..."
Ou Muyun nodded silently. Of course he could guess that the two groups in the past had not returned for so long, and the woman's cry for help not far away paused for a moment and then rang again, which meant that Ouyang Qing and Zhang Xiaodie might have encountered something unexpected.
Since Xiao Ding wanted to go over to check, Ou Muyun naturally wouldn't stop him. After all, my uncle was looking for a wife in the past. If it were him, he would be as anxious as Xiao Ding.
Xiao Ding told Ou Muyun a few more words, such as paying attention to safety, and Ou Muyun also reminded Xiao Ding to pay attention to dangers. Then the two separated, Ou Muyun stayed in place to guard Tian Xiao'e, while Xiao Ding hurriedly walked towards the direction of the woman's voice calling for help.
Through the heavy fog, Xiao Ding saw some strange gray buildings. Although these buildings are all in the shape of houses, they are different from the houses where ordinary people live on Tiankun Planet.
The human houses on Tiankun are almost identical to the ancient houses on Earth. Either a thatched house, a wooden house, or a stone house.
And now the houses that appear in front of Xiao Ding are almost all made of stone, with various shapes. Each house is like the head of a monster, with its mouth wide open, as if it wants to swallow Xiao Ding.
Xiao Ding tried to let go of his spiritual consciousness while walking, but his spiritual consciousness was still limited and he could not explore very far. I don't know where the power comes from, but it can restrain the consciousness of human monks.
Even though the exploration was not very far, Xiao Ding did not dare to delay. He hurriedly walked towards the direction of the source of the sound.
At the same time, he also condensed a layer of spiritual energy defense shield outside his body to deal with emergencies.
After all, the first two groups of people disappeared for no reason, so Xiao Ding had no choice but to take precautions early.
However, as he approached, the woman's voice calling for help gradually stopped and there was no movement.
Xiao Ding had no choice but to explore and search around here, but found nothing.
After searching for a long time, Xiao Ding found no clues. Neither the woman who called for help nor any trace of the senior sister and her husband, Ouyang Qing and Zhang Xiaodie were found.
This time, Xiao Ding was a little confused.
Since there was no result, he planned to go back and take Ou Muyun and Tian Xiao'e with him to find the others.
So he returned in the direction he came from.
In the fog, it was difficult to see the direction. However, cultivators have a photographic memory, and Xiao Ding clearly remembers the route he took.
It didn't take long for him to return to the place where he stayed before. The sight before him shocked him.
Ou Muyun and Tian Xiao'e are missing!
Xiao Ding called out their names several times, but didn't get any response.
Where did they go?
Xiao Ding was really feeling a little nervous this time.
In such a weird castle, all the people around me disappeared silently. This is simply incredible!
After walking around the area several times, Xiao Ding shouted everywhere, but could not find any shadows of Ou Muyun and Tian Xiao'e.
In desperation, Xiao Ding had to expand the scope and search everywhere in the castle.
He walked silently between the strange buildings, his expression became more and more solemn, the two groups of people in front disappeared for no reason, and Ou Muyun and Tian Xiao'e disappeared in place. In Xiao Ding's opinion, unless this was a high-level array set up by a master of arrays, it would be impossible to do it so quietly. After all, they are already golden elixir stage monks. If there is a fight, it is impossible for Xiao Ding not to hear the sound.
But if the opponent is really a master of formations, then there is no need to spend so much time with Xiao Ding and the others. He only needs to face Xiao Ding head-on. With Xiao Ding's formation level, he is definitely no match against a high-level formation master.
Xiao Ding had a headache at the moment. He also knows the formation,
And the formation level is not low either. But he failed to see what kind of magic circle this castle-like building complex was.
As he walked through the streets of the castle, it was like walking in a maze, never ending.
Xiao Ding's mood became more and more irritable.
Suddenly, an extremely strange sound rang in his ears. It was a sound coming from behind. Xiao Ding turned around and saw that the strange street was empty, with only the dark wind lingering in it.
Xiao Ding's thoughts were spinning, but even with his knowledge, it was difficult to figure out the origin of this weird castle for a while. Is it the ruins of an ancient war, or is it an ancient forbidden spell set by a giant demon clan?
He repeatedly walked through a corridor more than ten times, and each time the scenery produced by this corridor changed slightly. Under the corridor was a large lake. Xiao Ding closed his eyes, and the power of his consciousness spread towards the lake, but strangely, when the string of his spirit touched the lake, it was like falling into a deep and cold abyss.
Xiao Ding stared at the lake, feeling suspicious. After a moment, his expression changed drastically, and he staggered back until he bumped into the wooden pillars of the covered bridge. He did not dare to take a second look at the lake.
At this moment, he finally discovered some clues. After all, he also knows a lot about formations. Although he couldn't understand what kind of illusory formation the castle in front of him was, he could still tell that the lake in front of him might be the center of the castle formation.
However, this formation eye is hidden under the lake water, making it difficult to find.
Of course, these are just Xiao Ding's guesses. After all, he knew nothing about the magic formation of the castle in front of him. Not only was it not on the "Taibaixuan Formation" he had learned before, but it was also not on the "Nine Mysterious Formations" that Mu Yiyi taught him.
