As everyone moved forward, the scent-smelling rat who was leading the way suddenly changed direction and ran towards another area.
"what happened?"
Logically speaking, scent rats follow the scent. Unless the person's scent suddenly disappears here and appears in another direction, this will not happen.
"It should be that Fellow Daoist Shen broke the formation he was in before and was teleported to another area."
Only in this way can the abnormality of the scent-smelling rat be explained.
"Is it transmitted a little too far? When we looked for you before, the direction did not shift." Lan Hong said, "Senior sister, didn't you also break several formations? I feel that even if you are teleported, it should be It’s just a matter of teleporting in a few nearby formations.”
"There is another possibility, that is, fellow Taoist Shen Yuan came out of the formation." Yun Lan said, "This was what happened to me before. After breaking the gap between the small formation and the big formation, I was directly teleported. Outside the formation."
"I see."
They were all released directly after Yun Lan broke the formation from the outside. He didn't break the formation himself, so he didn't know this.
If this is the case, it is normal for such a big shift in position.
"Oops, fellow Taoist Shen Yuan may be in danger!"
In the forest, two monster beasts are fighting each other, and the weaker monster will definitely run to the outskirts of the forest.
If the monsters cannot enter the formation, then this is their last line of defense. After Shen Yuan is teleported out, it is very likely that he will directly face the monsters that have been driven to the outskirts of the forest. Even the last layer of defense will be gone. lost.
"If he is outside the formation, we can save a lot of time by going out from here first and then looking for him. But..."
Huang Xinyue stopped this move very cleverly, because it was followed by danger.
There is likely to be a beast tide outside. If they go outside the formation, they may directly collide with the beast tide.
Obviously, she agrees with everyone going out to find someone, but similarly, she cannot make decisions for everyone, because danger means that they may die.
It takes time to break the formation, but it will be quick if you follow the originally cleared area and go outside the formation.
"Go ahead. The current formation is not sure to be safe. The Taoist Daoists of the Giant Spirit Sect can complement the area we are good at. If we really encounter a beast tide, we may not be able to rush out together," Yun Lan said.
Huang Xinyue represented Lan Hong's intention, and Yun Lan's words made Luo Dali and Nantang have no objection.
"Then let's move faster. The longer it takes, the worse it will be for us."
On the way out, Yun Lan and the others encountered many ordinary animals that hurriedly ran into the formation. They must have been driven out by the spreading monsters.
Yun Lan stopped and observed for a while, and came to the conclusion: "Ordinary animals can form formations at will without being affected."
"What about monsters?" someone asked.
"I don't know. If you encounter a weak monster on the way there, just catch it and throw it in for a look."
This was recognized by everyone.
There seems to be no hiding place in the forest. If the monsters cannot enter and leave the formation at will, then they can use the formation as a retreat in critical moments.
Even if there are many dangers in the formation, it is still better than being besieged by monsters.
If the monsters can enter and leave the formation at will, then they have to prepare for it early, otherwise they will just be caught off guard.
The trees in the Relic Mansion had grown for who knows how many years. They were tall and lush, but the tree crowns also blocked their view, preventing them from immediately discovering what was going on deep in the forest.
People can't stay in the tree crown all the time, otherwise they will be easily discovered by the monsters and become the target of siege, so they can only walk a short distance and go up the tree to investigate the situation.
Along the way, we met a lot of ordinary animals, but the monster beasts were nowhere to be seen.
"Are there no monsters?" Luo Dali asked with a frown.
As soon as he finished speaking, the grass in front of him moved, and a shadow quickly hit Lan Hong, who was leading the group.
Lan Hong walked in the front because she wanted to command the scent-sniffing rat.
"careful!"
Yun Lan moved quickly, and an ice wall blocked Lan Hong's face. The shadow directly hit the ice wall. It was a gray-white little monkey.
Three more ice walls appeared, blocking the little monkey's retreat.
Luo Dali stepped forward, smashed the ice with a punch, and caught the little monkey in his hand. No matter how hard the little monkey struggled, he could not hurt him at all. He could only scream "chichi" in a bluffing manner.
Huang Xinyue joked to Luo Dali: "Say Cao Cao and Cao Cao are here. We walked for so long and didn't see one. You came just as soon as you opened your mouth. You look like you've been enlightened!"
"Better luck." Luo Dali chuckled.
"Stone Monkey, a first-order monster."
This is a very common monster that is timid and fearful of people and feeds on fruits.
However, the timid and fearful monster took the initiative to attack them, indicating that it had been greatly frightened before.
Moreover, the time when he was frightened did not pass too long, otherwise the monsters, like people, would have recovered.
"Then I just threw it in?" Luo Dali carried the monkey.
"Throw it away."
The monkey was thrown into a nearby formation and disappeared.
Everyone cannot see the situation in the formation, but they can judge whether the monster beast will be affected by the formation by whether the formation is activated.
So far, people cultivating in the formation will activate the formation as long as they move around. If the formation is effective against monsters, it should be the same.
But after they waited for a long time, the fog in the formation was still thick, and there was no sign of aura.
Everyone's faces were ugly, and something worrying happened - this formation was ineffective against monsters.
"Let's go, let's meet up with fellow Taoist Shen Yuan earlier, and then quickly find a suitable place to defend."
If they encounter a tide of beasts in the forest, it means that they will face attacks from all directions. Even the top is not safe and cannot be defended against.
If they can find a place here that is easy to defend but difficult to attack and set up a formation, they can survive for a while.
Yun Lan jumped onto the treetop again, and while observing the situation on the road ahead, a loud roar came from the distance, and then a huge blue bear appeared in the forest.
The big bear was actually taller than the trees in the forest. It stretched out most of its body in the forest and kept waving its paws downwards.
"It's Shui Yue Xiong, the Dharma Appearance of fellow Taoist Shen Yuan. He must be in trouble."
Although the disciples of the Giant Spirit Sect practice the art of Dharma, the disciples below the Nascent Soul stage generally use other methods.
Just like what Yun Lan told his two junior brothers, the Dharma consumes a lot of spiritual energy. After being released, it can last for one stick of incense at most. After one stick of incense, they will lose their combat effectiveness. They will not release it unless they have to. of.
