The forest was shrouded in white mist, with trees, flowers, and completely extinguished firewood looming in the early morning mist.
It is cotton, like clouds, like cooking smoke. The rushing waves sweep through the illusion formation, washing everything away. A few drops of water condensed on the leaves fell from a high place and dripped onto Chen Mo's face, feeling ice cold.
"Oh? Brother Zhao is awake."
Liu Ke happened to come over and when he saw this scene, he hugged Chen Mo slightly and said.
Chen Mo wiped off the dew on his face. Needless to say, this was his own masterpiece. He didn't sleep all night, and being discovered at this time would increase the suspicion.
Chen Mo stood up, looked behind Liu Ke, and said doubtfully: "Where is that fellow Taoist?"
"Brother Zhao is talking about my third uncle, right?" Liu Ke smiled softly and continued: "He went to the south of the illusion array two hours ago to discuss with the two people how to deal with the blood spider. Let me be here Wait, how about we talk while we walk?"
"That's great, let's set off now."
Chen Mo also wanted to know more about the inside story, so he readily agreed to his invitation.
Since it was still early, Liu Ke did not use his spiritual power to rush. On the way to the south, the two chatted all the way.
This fledgling monk was obviously no match for Chen Mo. With his insinuations throughout the whole process, he actually managed to pull out something useful.
"I never expected that those two female cultivators would be fellow disciples of the Fuyun Sect! I heard from this guy that one of them was injured..."
Chen Mo didn't want to be a hero to save the beauty. The consequences of acknowledging the two of them would cause all his previous preparations to be wasted. Once the three of them signed up for a group, it would be a huge pressure if he was the uncle and nephew. .
"Looking at the proud look on this guy's face, you will know what to do after breaking the formation, but don't take me into account." Chen Mo thought secretly in his heart.
The principle of his practice is to ensure his own safety first, and then the rest. That's all I can do is help.
Seeing that Chen Mo had not spoken for a long time and was only echoing, obviously thinking about something, Liu Ke asked doubtfully: "Brother Zhao, are you listening?"
"Ah, does it look good?"
Chen Mo pretended to blurt out subconsciously, which made Liu Ke suddenly realize. He laughed secretly in his heart that the third uncle was not sure about people: Such a monk, whose mind is swayed when he hears a beautiful female cultivator, and still pushes his evaluation so high, he is really an old fool. .
As everyone knows, he is also like this, just laughing at the fifty steps and the hundred steps.
Liu Ke suppressed the disdain in his heart and said with a smile: "Brother Zhao, won't you be able to see it later? Let me tell you about the dangers of the phantom formation."
Chen Mo also realized that he had made a mistake and touched his cheek awkwardly: "Don't be surprised, fellow Taoist, just tell me."
"According to the inference of my third uncle, this illusion and the forgotten land are integrated. The fake spiritual object chalcedony in the formation eye is to lure the monks or monsters to enter. Once it mistakenly enters the fallen place, it will become the formation." The accumulated energy continues to wait for the next unlucky person to arrive."
"In this phantom formation, no matter how much the trees are destroyed, they will return to their original state. Although there is no danger at ordinary times, but every three days, countless blood spiders will pour in from the periphery of the phantom formation and go crazy against the living creatures. s attack."
After a pause, Liu Ke continued: "The scale of the Blood Spider we encountered last time was already very large. Fortunately, we have fellow Taoists joining us this time. How else can we hope to break the formation?"
Chen Mo nodded and asked: "Can we break the formation by killing all the blood spiders?"
"It's not that easy..."
Liu Ke coughed lightly and said: "Don't say that the cultivation of the five of us is at the peak of Qi refining. Even if the five foundation-building monks want to break open by force, it is not easy. We can only find the formation's eyes to get out. ....”
"But the formation eye is changing all the time. It may be a tree, a flower, or a leaf..."
Chen Mo was silent for a while after hearing this: "We have found a way now, haven't we?"
"Yes, Brother Zhao, thank you. Fortunately, the female cultivator from the Fuyun Sect knows a little about the formation and can deduce the location of the formation's eye. After each attack by the Tangerine Blood Spider, the formation's eye will be locked in place within two hours. "
"We have found the formation a few days ago," Liu Ke sighed and said, "Due to insufficient spiritual power, we fell short... Oh, let's not mention it!"
Chen Mo understood clearly, but a thought suddenly came to his mind: Lin Yuqin is not the one who is proficient in formations, otherwise she would have to be the first to call her name, and the situation she had worked so hard to manage would collapse instantly.
The two of them talked some more, and after a while of burning incense, they successfully arrived at the southern part of the Fantasy Forest.
In a wide open space, the old man was holding a branch and planning a route on the ground, while the two female editors on the side were analyzing intently and coming up with improvement plans from time to time.
"Uncle Third, we are here!"
Liu Ke called out to the old man, and the three of them looked this way at the same time, "It's her?" Chen Mo's heart moved, but his face didn't show any strangeness at all. He walked forward with Liu Ke, raised his hands and saluted: " Zhao Ping from Thunder Mountain has met two fairies from Fuyun Sect."
"you......"
One of the female cultivators suddenly pointed at Chen Mo and wanted to say something in confusion. The old man who was watching coldly looked at her suddenly.
"You...you look like a friend of mine."
The old man focused his attention on Chen Mo again, not only that, but also the other two people.
Chen Mo smiled and said: "We can't be enemies and friends, right? I don't want to have a beautiful enemy appear out of thin air."
"Hehehe..."
Everyone laughed and passed by, and the old man immediately changed the subject and introduced Chen Mo: "Fellow Daoist Zhao, this is Lan Ruoxian, a talented person from Fuyun Sect. She has the highest cultivation level here."
"Fellow Daoist Qi is overly praised. This little girl's meager cultivation is not worth mentioning."
Wearing a purple skirt and white gauze, Lan Ruoxian's expression was always calm, and she looked at Chen Mo as if she had met him for the first time.
Chen Mo had interacted with this woman five times. The first time was in Senior Brother Li's Herb Garden. She came to ask for advice on how to grow moonflowers. Chen Mo told her everything, and Lan Ruoxian also gave him a spiritual stone as compensation.
The second time was the assessment trial scene. She and Li Muqing were having a heated argument over the spot of the medicine garden deacon, and Chen Mo looked at them from a distance.
For the third time, Gu Yao, who ranked second on the Qianxun List of the sect, invited Chen Mo to have a drink on the third floor. It was this woman who was beside Gu Yao.
Then came the competition on the ring, and this encounter. The two of them did not exchange more than five sentences in total. Lan Ruoxian did not directly reveal Chen Mo's identity, which made Chen Mo take a second look.
Immediately afterwards, the old man pointed at the female cultivator who almost called Chen Mo's name and said: "Mei Aoxue is also a cultivator of Fuyun Sect. This time we break the formation, we all have to honor her."
Chen Mo probably knew this person. He was ranked over 40 on the Qianxun List and was not very outstanding. The two parties greeted him politely.
"As for my name being Qi Wuchang, Fellow Daoist Zhao doesn't know it yet, so I've mentioned it here." The old man glanced at the young man: "That's my nephew Liu Ke. Since you all know each other, there's nothing wrong with breaking the formation." Is there a problem?"
Chen Mo suddenly smiled and said slowly: "Fellow Daoist Qi, my spiritual power is still restricted by you."
"Oops, I forgot...I'm confused!" Qi Wuchang chuckled and connected with one hand to remove the restrictions on Chen Mo. His spiritual veins recovered again, and Chen Mo pretended to let out a sigh of relief. .
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Qi Wuchang was afraid that Chen Mo would disrupt the plan indiscriminately when he first arrived, so he first banned his cultivation, explained the pros and cons clearly, and then lifted his restrictions. The method was extremely sophisticated.
If Chen Mo really had malicious intentions and wanted to fall out now, he would have to consider whether he could beat the four of them together.
"Then I'll just listen to Fellow Daoist Qi's instructions and tell me where it's needed."
Chen Mo and Liu Ke stepped forward, and the five of them gathered around the simple map of the illusion array drawn by Qi Wuchang to observe.
