The scene fell into deathly silence, and a tense atmosphere instantly enveloped the four people and lingered.
"Where did the two of them go?"
After a long time, Fu Xiang spoke tremblingly, with obvious uneasiness in his eyes in the darkness.
In fact, this place is not that scary. At least for now, there is no danger.
In the final analysis, it was the vague pressure in the air that kept stimulating their nerves and amplifying their inner fears.
"I don't know... In this case, you three go back first, and I will go up and take a look."
Xu Yue was serious and was about to rush forward, but this time it was not only Lan Ruyan, but also three women who reached out at the same time and grabbed him from different angles.
"What are you doing?"
Xu Yue turned his head and looked at the pitiful Lan Ruyan, the worried Fu Xiang, and the normal-looking Xin Ling, and smiled bitterly.
"The perception here is limited, and the situation ahead is unknown. It's best not to separate now." Xin Ling said seriously.
"That's right! It's so scary here. I won't let you go on alone. You have to go together!" Lan Ruyan also became stubborn at this time. She grabbed Xu Yue's clothes and refused to do so. let go.
"Yes, and maybe Duan Mutian and Brother Gu have entered a fork in the road? It should be... nothing happened, right?" Fu Xiang answered, but as he spoke, he felt a little less confident.
Seeing this, Xu Yue also knew that it was impossible to act alone. He could only think about it for a while and said in a deep voice: "Well, now it seems that this place is not simple. Let's go back to the entrance of the cave first and inform the door and Qianli River. How about we come to support, wait for the help to arrive, and then come in to look for Brother Gu and the others?"
"feasible."
The wild girl nodded, and as soon as they gathered together, they immediately reorganized their team and prepared to turn around and return along the way they came.
However, when Xu Yue turned around and subconsciously pushed his right hand to the side, but found nothing, his whole body felt completely bad.
"how come……"
He looked stiffly and found that his right hand was empty. When he reached out to grab it, it was all lingering darkness!
Where is the cave wall!
In order to avoid getting lost, he had been walking close to the cave wall on the left after entering the cave. Now he turned around and the cave wall should still be on the right. How could it be missing? 33
"Brother Xu, what's wrong?" Fu Xiang asked nervously when he saw this scene.
Xu Yue heard the sound and looked around, and happened to see Fu Xiang's left hand leaning on the cave wall. He was delighted and asked hurriedly: "Fu Xiang! After you entered the cave, you kept walking along the left cave wall, right? "
"Yes, yes." Fu Xiang replied.
"Huh...it's okay."
Xu Yue breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could say anything more, Fu Xiang's next words made his heart suddenly hit the bottom.
"Is there something wrong with the cave wall? Brother Xu, when you came from the right just now, I didn't notice anything was wrong."
"What?"
Xu Yue was horrified and said: "On the right? I just came from the left!"
"No, no! It's the right side!" Fu Xiang was stunned, but still gritted his teeth and insisted on his statement.
"That's right! I saw it too! It's on the right!"
Lan Ruyan also spoke up immediately. She was in the same position as Fu Xiang just now, and she did see Xu Yue walking along the cave wall on the right!
Seeing this, Xu Yue was speechless and could only look at Huang Nu, but she also shook her head, and the meaning was self-evident.
"this……"
Xu Yue fell silent.
He looked in front of the deep place, then turned around to review the direction he was walking in, feeling confused.
In this case, which direction is the exit?
"Is it a space disorder?"
He didn't dare to make a conclusion immediately. After pondering for a moment, he turned his hand and a light flashed.
"Tracing spirits back to the formation."
Buzz!
A vortex slowly appeared in the palm of Xu Yue's hand, and darkness began to surge from all directions, drawing clearly visible lines in the air, providing Xu Yue with some information that was invisible to the naked eye.
Over the years, Xu Yue was also very interested in the special skills of Tianzhen Sect. He often asked Wang Ba for advice, and even went to Tianzhen Sect for further training. Now he has finally achieved some success.
"How is it?" Lan Ruyan asked anxiously, looking at the darkness swirling like flowing water.
"no."
Xu Yue stared at the palm of his hand, finally shook his head and said: "This place is too closed, and the Soul Tracing Return Technique can collect very little information, and the pressure is also increasing, affecting the implementation of the technique. .”
Xu Yue withdrew the magic formula. At present, he can only feel that there is indeed a huge barrier running here, but it is fanciful to find the eye of the formation and break it.
"Is it the seal that has been guarding this place since ancient times, or..."
Xu Yue's eyes flickered, and he finally stopped thinking. He turned to the three women with different expressions and said in a deep voice: "That's it. Anyway, let's go back and take a look... Just in case, let's hold hands." , don’t separate.”
"good!"
Lan Ruyan felt happy, jumped over and pulled Xu Yue up, smiling in the darkness.
Afterwards, Fu Xiang also hurriedly came over and held Lan Ruyan. The wild girl on the side hesitated for a moment, then awkwardly held Fu Xiang's hand. The four of them formed the shape of Xu Yue, Lan Ruyan, and Fu Xiang. Xiang and Huang Nu slowly walked in the direction they came from.
Tick tock…
There were still constant drops of water all around, making it damp and dark.
"whee."
Xu Yue, who was walking in front, heard chuckles from behind him from time to time. He had no choice but to ask without looking back: "What, you are not afraid now?"
"Don't be afraid! If I stay with you, I won't be afraid of anything!"
Lan Ruyan responded with a smile, her blue eyes in the darkness staring at Xu Yue without blinking, and then her expression changed and she asked with concern: "How do you feel now? Although the pressure here has the power of the Four Towns, The person will be much smaller, but after all, you don’t have the blood of the Guardian Clan, is that okay?”
"fine."
Xu Yue nodded, and while continuing to carefully explore the way forward, he said quite confidently: "Although the three of you are all pure-blooded members of the Four Towns, when it comes to your understanding and attainment of the Four Towns' art, I’m probably no worse than you.”
"Yes, your deserted city technique is amazing!"
Lan Ruyan had a look of admiration on her face, and her original nervousness also eased a lot during the chat. She rolled her eyes and glanced at Xin Ling, who was silent at the back of the team, and asked curiously: "Speaking of which, how did you learn it? The art of deserted city?"
"Well..."
Xu Yue raised his tone, and Lan Ruyan listened carefully, until she bumped into Xu Yue's back with a bang.
"What's wrong! Why don't you leave!" Lan Ruyan hurriedly stabilized her body, rubbed her red nose, and asked dissatisfiedly.
Xu Yue didn't speak, only the sound of heavy breathing came. Lan Ruyan frowned, and in confusion, she stretched out her head to look, and finally understood why Xu Yue didn't leave.
"There is no way..."
Looking at the dead stone wall in front of her, Lan Ruyan opened her mouth, her expression dazed and dull.
Obviously, even if Xu Yue and others touched the cave wall and returned the same way they came, the road in front of them would definitely not be the one they took when they came in!
An inexplicable force in Gu has trapped the four people here.
"In that case!"
Xu Yue's eyes sternly turned fierce.
He still didn't believe it. Even those extremely dangerous Jedi outside the territory could not trap him. How could a small culvert in this fairyland turn the world upside down!
The worst case scenario is to completely destroy this place and start over from scratch!
"Back off!"
boom!
Xu Yue's aura suddenly surged. Although he was only at the early stage of Soul Void Realm, the violent fluctuations directly shocked Fu Xiang speechless. Lan Ruyan was even more surprised. Even Xin, who was in the Tribulation Realm, Spirit, all felt a little pressure from it!
This is also the first time Xu Yue is ready to use his power since his breakthrough!
call out!
Without many words, Lan Ruyan and the three women immediately stepped back, and Xu Yue's whole body began to flash with a strange red light. It was the manifestation of the externalization of blood, and it was extremely dazzling in this deathly darkness.
Then, a scarlet heavy sword suddenly appeared in Xu Yue's hand, and a violent and ferocious aura instantly enveloped everything, turning him into an out-and-out berserker!
"Open it for me!"
"[Collapse of Mountains and Ground Slash] is being triggered. The host summons a sword of blood and slams the ground hard, causing a large-scale shock wave and blasting out hot blood and magma to attack the enemy."
Boom!
The scarlet heavy sword cut through the darkness brutishly and slammed into it, instantly shattering the mountain wall in front of it. Blood-red magma also spurted out instantly, boiling everywhere and swallowing the darkness.
For a moment, the earth shook and the mountains shook, as if the world collapsed!
"ah!"
However, just when Xu Yue thought he had succeeded, the first one to scream was Fu Xiang who was in the safe area behind!
"puff……"
Suddenly, Fu Xiang spurted out a mouthful of blood, the tattoos all over his body disappeared in a flash, and he passed out.
"What's wrong!"
The accident happened so fast that before Lan Ruyan and Xin Ling had time to react, Fu Xiang had already collapsed.
Shocked, the two quickly offered help, but as soon as they did, an extremely strong pressure suddenly came from all directions, making them instantly understand why Fu Xiang was acting like this suddenly.
Buzz!
"ah!"
For a moment, Lan Ruyan couldn't help but let out a cry of pain, her whole body was filled with blue light, and her water-like spiritual power was desperately protecting her. He wrapped her up like this and stripped her out of the world.
"Xu Yue! Stop!"
At the critical moment, Lan Ruyan shouted desperately, but without her needing to say anything, Xu Yue noticed the abnormality in the rear immediately, interrupted the [Collapse of Mountains and Earth Slash], and stopped attacking.
"Yan'er! Xin Ling! Fu Xiang!"
Boom...
The riot of spiritual power stopped instantly, and although the entire culvert was still shaking, it gradually became stable.
And when Xu Yue turned back to where the three women were and took a closer look, his heart suddenly felt cold.
At this time, Xin Ling's vitality was severely injured and she could barely stand. Fu Xiangruo was dying, and Lan Ruyan, her soul was torn apart by the accident just now!
"Yan'er! What's wrong with you!"
Xu Yue hurriedly picked up Lan Ruyan, who was unable to stand up, and his heart was as sharp as a knife.
"pain……"
Lan Ruyan's consciousness was almost blurred, and she could only cry out in confusion, which made Xu Yue almost cry.
"When you attack the mountain wall, the pressure becomes stronger."
Xin Ling quickly told the situation, and at the same time, he knelt down and put his hand on Fu Xiang's chest, resisting the serious injuries in his body and healing him.
At the moment when [Collapse Mountain and Earth Slash] shattered the mountain wall, the ever-present pressure around them suddenly increased dozens of times, like life-stealing and soul-stealing spikes, piercing every pore of their bodies crazily. , to drain the blood and pierce the soul.
"How could this happen! Why am I okay!"
Xu Yue's pupils shrank, his eyes turned red as he looked at Lan Ruyan, who had fallen asleep in his arms.
Unfortunately, no one could answer him. Apart from the endless darkness, there was only Xin Ling's slightly rapid breathing.
"Heal first!"
Xu Yue gritted his teeth and quickly regained his composure. Xin Ling also nodded. The two stopped talking and began to concentrate on healing the wounded in front of them.
"[Yuanling Returning Technique] is being triggered. The host has penetrated the spiritual energy, consolidated the foundation and returned to the heart, and can continuously restore health points for himself or others."
Xu Yue's body lit up with a soft light, sacred and peaceful, warming Lan Ruyan, and he kept praying in his heart, hoping that the other party would wake up soon.
After an unknown amount of time, Lan Ruyan's porcelain doll-like eyes finally moved, and her eyelids slowly opened, revealing her deep and beautiful blue eyes, but they were full of confusion and sluggishness, as if she had just fallen asleep. Wake up, haven't recovered yet.
"I'm dreaming..."
Looking at Xu Yue looking down at her, Lan Ruyan licked her lips a few times, then simply closed her eyes again and turned sideways to continue sleeping.
Seeing this, Xu Yue was stunned for a moment, but then he smiled, and at the same time he felt a lot more at ease.
Sure enough, after two breaths, Lan Ruyan opened her eyes suddenly and straightened up, almost knocking Xu Yue away. Then she hurriedly looked at the darkness around her and remembered everything that had happened before.
"Hiss...it hurts..."
The next moment, she was holding her head, breathing in the air-conditioning, feeling her torn soul, and moaning in agony.
"It's okay Yan'er."
Xu Yue hurriedly came to comfort her and kept patting her on the back.
"Well……"
At this time, Fu Xiang finally woke up, glanced at Xin Ling, who was pale but kept pouring spiritual power into herself, and said weakly: "Thank you...Sister Xin Ling..."
"No problem."
Xin Ling shook her head and continued to heal her injuries. After Fu Xiang could sit up on her own, she took back her hands and began to regain her strength.
The four of them repaired in the dark for nearly half an hour before gradually regaining their ability to move.
"It seems that we cannot use force to attack this place, otherwise certain restrictions will be triggered, the seal here will be activated, and... it will be extremely targeted at us." Huang Nu looked around, her voice a little low.
"That's right!"
Xu Yue clenched his fist and wanted to hit it on the mountain wall to vent his anger, but suddenly realized that doing so might hurt the three girls. He immediately stopped his fist and held it in the air, his nails almost embedded in his flesh. He gritted his teeth and said, "What are you doing?" Only people with the strength of the Four Towns can enter this place and resist this pressure. This place is basically a trap and cage specially prepared for the people of the Four Towns!"
In the darkness, Xu Yue's angry roar echoed, and Lan Ruyan and the three women also fell into silence, their eyes cold.
Some people died, but not completely...
