By searching for the soul slaves, Luo Hong had completely confirmed that the void-refining aliens who were chasing him came from the reward mission of the Guangyuan Heavenly Book.
"A big Yaksha who can drive rampant slaves, and a Shadow Clan who is obviously a red shadow but is so gray, none of them are simple!"
Luo Hong frowned and muttered to himself.
These people are not ordinary virtual refining beings. They are stronger than those of the same level and have more methods.
Luo Hong believed that he had to be careful in dealing with the previous one in order to be sure of winning.
Now, they actually formed an alliance just because of some accidents. Such a cautious approach immediately made Luo Hong feel quite troubled.
"Since we are not King Yaksha, why do fellow Daoist Luo have to worry? Anyway, as long as we don't take the initiative to confront them now, they won't be able to catch up with us in this strange forest."
Ye Ying was very optimistic at the moment.
"It's not that simple! There are currently six Void Refining aliens who are chasing Luo. Four of them have been to the Lost Forest. He knows that there is something wrong with the miasma in this forest.
Therefore, these four people have not been exposed to miasma from the beginning, and based on their cultivation in the realm of virtual refining, they probably have to break through five or six miasma before they are affected by the whispering magical power.
If we are caught by them, even if we escape into the miasma, we will still be caught up by them.
In short chases, they are even more flexible than us, after all, they don't have to worry about the thickness of the miasma! "
Luo Hong said solemnly, but there was no hint of surprise in his tone that four of the six people had entered the Lost Forest. It was said that this ratio was very abnormal.
But no matter what, the decision to continue deep into the Lost Forest will not change. After briefly explaining the situation, Luo Hong held one by one, and the three of them plunged into the miasma cloud in front of them.
...
"Huh? Why is it him! Humph!"
Tens of thousands of miles away, Meng Ai, who was flying among the miasma, suddenly changed his expression and revealed an angry look.
"Huh? What happened? Why did I lose the feeling of a shadow slave?"
Ziyun on the side also immediately noticed something was wrong, but his shadow slave didn't have much intelligence, and he didn't know what happened at the moment.
"I unexpectedly found the rightful owner. This person's magical power is indeed very powerful, and he easily captured one of my rampant slaves!
But judging from the previous traces and their current location, are these three people planning to escape into the depths of the Lost Forest? "
Ram slaves need to be cultivated with their own essence and blood, and Meng Ai couldn't help but feel heartbroken when he lost one of them.
"It turned out that we bumped into those three people. No wonder we missed, but their desire to escape deep into the Lost Forest was out of the blue.
Even if their luck is amazing and they are not blocked by the miasma, those things in the depths are enough to slow them down! "
Ziyun said with a dark smile.
"That's good, it saves me waiting to hide and seek with them in this maze!"
Meng Ai's eyes narrowed and he said, after following these days, he was already a little impatient.
At the moment, the two of them did not need to communicate, and both speeded up their escape without saying a word.
...
About a day later, Luo Hong and the others had successfully crossed the previous limit of thousands of miles and arrived at a place thousands of miles away from the center.
According to the previous ancient map, there is not a single light point in this area, that is, there is no stable spiritual orifice.
In other words, there will be no elixir of heaven and earth here, and there will be no powerful ancient beasts to protect the elixir.
But on the contrary, the closer Luo Hong got to the center, the more uneasy he felt in his heart, which made him lower his escape speed again and again.
"My consciousness couldn't find any abnormal aura. Could it be that the danger is hidden in the miasma?"
As soon as he had this idea, several strong winds suddenly came from the side and behind him. Luo Hong immediately used the black wind flag without thinking, and moved the three of them hundreds of feet away in an instant.
Then there were four loud "boom boom" sounds, and the sudden attack hit the ground.
The three people immediately turned around and saw four giant black stone arrows ten feet long inserted into the ground nearly halfway. The surrounding soil and vegetation turned into gray-white stones under the light of the aura.
"Petrified magical power?!"
After Ye Ying exclaimed, she immediately looked towards the direction where these giant arrows were coming from, and then she saw four black figures more than twenty feet tall standing up in the miasma.
Although they couldn't see clearly through the miasma, it could be seen from their outlines that they were drawing bows and nocking arrows.
"Boom! Boom!"
At the same time, a series of huge and dull footsteps came from the direction where the three people were moving, and a giant black stone statue holding a double pestle was striding out of the miasma, coming towards the three people with murderous intent.
"No, we are surrounded!"
Ye Ying's eyes flashed with light, and through the many obstacles, she saw that in addition to these five giant statues, there were also black shadows standing up from the depths of the miasma.
Obviously, they broke into a giant statue killing array.
“Haha, after so many years, I finally saw something that wasn’t broken.
Fellow Taoist Yingming, could you ask them to stop? "
What's strange is that, facing such a critical situation, Luo Hong not only didn't panic, but actually breathed a sigh of relief.
It was not because of anything else, but because the black stone giant statue that strode out of the miasma was very similar to the giant gatekeeper statue he saw outside the Wentian Cave in the human world.
"Let me try."
Ying Ming felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity with these black stone giants that suddenly appeared.
There is no doubt that they are both puppets and share the same blood.
As the magic spells of both hands moved, the sound of wooden blocks colliding was heard from Ying Ming's chest.
A hole as big as a fist appeared in her puppet body, and then a pink bud floated out of it.
The flower bud began to bloom slowly as soon as it was separated from the body, and a golden light shone out from the gap. It was not until it was fully bloomed that a golden flame emerged from the center of the flower.
At this time, the golden flames swayed slightly, creating a gentle spiritual wave that quickly dispersed in all directions.
Any black stone giant statue that touches this spiritual wave seems to have been pressed on the pause button, and its body suddenly freezes and no longer moves.
After a moment, Ying Ming took back her psychic core, nodded to Luo Hong and said:
"I've shut down these puppets and can move on now."
"Very well, I hope there won't be any more trouble."
These black stone giants looked rough and fleshy at first glance. Luo Hong didn't want to waste his energy on them, so he couldn't help but said with joy.
And Ye Ying finally realized why Luo Hong dared to go deep into this place. He must have already guessed the identity of the owner of this place!
"This person can not only refine psychic puppets, but also arrange spiritual orifice arrays. No matter how you look at it, he should not be an unknown person, but I have never heard of it before. Could it be that the owner of this place is not a member of the human and demon tribes?" senior?"
Ye Ying, who was curious, did not ask, but continued to follow Luo Hong silently.
During the subsequent journey, the three of them did not encounter any accidents. However, after entering the last thousand miles, they saw an disturbing scene.
I saw that the ground was full of broken black stone giants, and huge pits and abnormal landforms formed by fighting could be seen everywhere.
No matter how you look at it, there was an extremely fierce battle here a long time ago.
"Owner...."
Seeing this scene, Ying Ming couldn't help but have a worried look on her face.
She had heard Luo Hong's analysis before that the owner of this place was probably not around, but firstly, they were not sure that the owner of this place was Wenzhenren at the time, and secondly, the possibility of being unable to escape did exist, so she He can also keep his look unchanged.
But after seeing the black stone giant statue and the traces of the tragic battle, Ying Ming had basically determined that the owner of this place was Wentian Ren, and that he was either captured or killed after the battle.
Otherwise, after such a long time, it would be impossible for him not to clean up the traces of the fighting here, leaving behind a tail as big as Mizonglin.
"Fellow Daoist Yingming, although Luo is not completely sure what happened here, we can guarantee that Senior Wentian will suffer some hardship at most, and his life will definitely be fine. Don't be so pessimistic yet."
Luo Hong immediately comforted him.
"Senior Wentian? Is this the name of the lord of this place?"
Ye Ying secretly remembered this key information.
Not long after, the three of them arrived above a dilapidated cave.
This cave was originally a classic style built in the heart of the mountain, but the top half of the spiritual peak where it was located was directly destroyed by someone using great supernatural powers, so that it was turned into an open-air cave.
Seeing this scene, the three people's souls vividly recalled the scene of the owner of this place being knocked on the door unceremoniously.
Since all the formation restrictions were destroyed, Luo Hong scanned the entire cave with just his spiritual consciousness, and found that it was cleaner than a dog licking it, and not a single valuable spiritual object was left.
Luo Hong couldn't help but frown.
"Fellow Daoist Ying Ming, please sense carefully and find out the location of Senior Wentian's aura."
"No need to bother, I've found it."
After Ying Ming said that, she flew towards the largest stone chamber in the cave.
Apart from the formations on the ground, there are no furnishings in this stone chamber.
"When the master arranges the cave, he has the habit of building both light and dark at the same time, and he usually uses special techniques to arrange the teleportation array that connects the two caves and the teleportation array that leads to the outside world into light and dark formations.
Without the use of secret techniques, the teleportation array under our feet can only send us out of the Lost Forest, but as long as..."
With that said, Ying Ming used her fingers to hit the formation at her feet with more than ten magic formulas. Suddenly, the entire teleportation formation was illuminated, and the formation patterns underwent mysterious changes. It took ten breaths before it completely stopped.
"As long as we use the secret technique, this teleportation array can take us to the dark palace. The master usually leaves the most important things there."
Luo Hong understands the light and dark caves quite well. He even learned from Old Demon Han and would arrange the caves in the manner of a cunning rabbit with three caves.
When it comes to practicing Taoism, people who ask the truth are far from being Han Laomo's opponent.
Ying Ming had already made it so clear, how could Luo Hong not know that the thing with the human aura of Wenzhen must be in the dark palace.
So, after getting Luo Hong's signal, Ying Ming activated the teleportation array at her feet.
After a burst of white light, the three people immediately appeared in a stone room.
At a glance, Luo Hong saw the spiritual light flashing on the door of the stone chamber, and there was a faint aura of restriction. He immediately knew that the formation was still maintained here and was not abandoned.
"It's strange. All the restrictions here have been destroyed. It's so wrong!"
With a sweep of her consciousness, Ying Ming relied on her familiarity with Wentian Ren's confinement techniques to discover that this secret palace had also been invaded before, and she couldn't help but wonder.
"This matter is indeed strange, but no matter what, let's go to the aura and take a look first."
Although Luo Hong also had doubts in his heart, it had been a long time since the disaster occurred here, and it was a good thing for them that the ban was broken.
Ying Ming also wanted to know what his master had left behind that could smell exactly like him, so he immediately took the lead and walked towards the stone room.
Walking on the wide passage, the three of them could see a stone door appearing on both sides from time to time, either closed or open.
But the three of them were distracted by this, and still walked unswervingly deeper into the cave.
After about a stick of incense, the three of them first entered a carefully decorated stone room, and then stopped in front of a closed stone door.
Although this stone door is no different from those seen before, judging from the dense seals and restrictions on it, the things at this door must be quite important.
If Ying Ming hadn't had a deep connection with Wentian, she wouldn't have been able to sense the aura behind the door.
Just when Ying Ming stretched out her hand and was about to lift the seal on the stone door, Luo Hong stopped her.
"Wait a minute, don't open this door yet."
"Why? What we are looking for is right behind!"
Ying Ming said reluctantly that she had waited too long.
"The closer you are to success, the more cautious you must be. The layout here looks familiar to Luo. If you don't want to encounter any surprises, it's better to take a look at these jade slips first."
The so-called familiarity means that Luo Hong feels that the layout of this stone chamber is very similar to his laboratory.
There are two stone rooms separated by a door. One is equipped with desks, bookshelves, and various miscellaneous things. It is a place for theoretical research. The other is a place for practical research that seals all spiritual energy with prohibitions.
Taking himself as an example, under normal circumstances, there are some dangers in stone chambers for practical research, especially this kind of stone chamber that has been operating alone for countless years. Who knows what changes have occurred inside.
Hearing this, it seemed that some unpleasant memories came to mind. A hint of fear appeared on Ying Ming's face, and then she nodded and said:
"Fellow Daoist Luo is absolutely right. I have been waiting for so many years and I am not in a hurry for this moment."
As she spoke, she reached out and took a jade slip and put it on her forehead.
"Fairy Ye, please help me as well. Go through all the jade slips here as soon as possible to find clues about the stone chamber opposite."
Although Ye Ying is a bit like an outsider here, Luo Hong has put her in danger, and giving her some opportunities can be regarded as a kind of compensation.
After that, he reached out and took a jade slip from the shelf, ready to browse it quickly.
But as soon as he took a look, he became interested and began to read the contents carefully.
What this jade slip records is none other than the secret of this mysterious forest!
