The four wet people climbed up from the river. Fortunately, this was a flat river, the water flow was gentle, and there were no ferocious fish. They all had a certain level of cultivation, so they didn't have this little physical strength.
The three boys who came ashore turned around in unison. Although it was late autumn, for people who did physical work every day, it was not the time to wear thick coats. The three of them were afraid of seeing something they shouldn't see, so they kept silent.
I walked to the nearby jungle and picked up firewood, which made Liuye blush and feel embarrassed. When the fire was lit, the four of them rested against the fire for a while, and their clothes basically no longer hindered their movement.
After eating and drinking enough, you can hit the road.
There is a piece of sand on the shore, and in front of them is a chaotic forest. It is gloomy inside, and they can only vaguely distinguish a trail they have walked. Qin Junze walked lightly and looked around. For them, the unknown is always dangerous.
Yes, but the marks left by the predecessors will always be a glimmer of hope for progress. However, Qin Junze looks back from time to time, always feeling like someone is watching from behind. This feeling of being focused on always makes people very uncomfortable.
Qin Junze even felt that the four of him had been seen through, but nothing unusual could be found around him.
This forest is so deep that the four of them can't get out no matter how hard they walk. Some wild beasts that appear suddenly make people alert at any time, keeping their attention. They don't dare to slack off at all, for fear that a snake will make it difficult for them to open their eyes.
Take the last look. Li Feng walked in the first place. He has the highest martial arts and is very skilled in releasing his inner energy. He can almost transform. He is indeed a very good seedling. At this time, he suddenly stopped.
, "Have you noticed that there seems to be something strange about this forest? It seems to be too long."
Qin Junze and the other two people also stood there and looked around. They didn't find anything strange, but they had the same question in their hearts. Based on the introduction to Wanzang Mountain in the building, there was no way they would leave in two hours.
The forest you cannot go out is here, otherwise the mountain would be too big.
Wang Hai took out a bottle of medicinal powder from his backpack, "My medicinal powder has a very unique feature. After being sprinkled on the ground, it combines with the moisture in the air and emits a light similar to that of fireflies. I originally thought that I could use it after dark.
It’s useful, I didn’t expect to be able to use it now.” As he said that, he continued to walk forward, twisting the powder in his hands and scattering it little by little. Several people were moving towards the direction they thought was ahead without direction, and the powder fell to the ground very quickly.
It lit up slightly and seemed to form a fluorescent line behind them.
The few figures did not have any stature or a look of disdain, they just walked slowly.
Time just passed by in the sound of footsteps. Unconsciously, the sun slowly hid, and the sky began to turn bright blue, waiting for the stars to appear. Qin Junze and the others were still wandering in the woods, but the difference from before was more obvious.
He was in a state of embarrassment, with some blood stains on his body. It seemed that he had encountered something and had a fight. Qin Junze's internal strength was not high and he looked quite tired.
"Look over there!" Liu Ye suddenly opened his eyes wide and pointed in one direction and shouted.
I saw not far to the left under the starlight, the green dots of fluorescent light were particularly clear. It seemed that they were not far from the place where the powder was sprinkled. A few people walked to the fluorescent powder place in embarrassment and found an open space to sit down.
After a long day, it is still important to eat and drink enough.
"Woo~, woo~" Liu Ye hugged her legs and sobbed softly beside her. Although she had worked in Tianji Tower, how could it be as dangerous as it is now? I thought this place was a place for disciples to be tested.
Unexpectedly, one's life may not be saved if one is not careful. No wonder Feng Ao would say not to come here if you don't have the strength of the seventh or eighth grade.
Li Feng looked at the other three people, "This is all my fault. I should have stopped you from following me. I thought you would be punished if you went back, but now you may not even be able to go back. It's me, the senior brother, who has caused you trouble."
"
Qin Junze helplessly patted Liu Ye on the back to calm her down, "Senior sister, don't be afraid. Isn't it a long day? Although it's tiring to kill those beasts, you're still alive, right? This time is just a practical exercise.
Exercise your skills and courage. Don't worry, senior sister, if you encounter danger, you hide behind me and I will protect you." He patted his chest, feeling a little more masculine.
Liu Ye looked at him. Liu Ye's curved eyebrows finally stopped frowning together. In the dark night, her big bright eyes were so charming that Qin Junze fell in. Her tearful eyes were as bright as grapes.
Senior brother Wang Hai is an optimist, smiling all day long, and now is no exception, "Why panic? With the strength of the four of us, ordinary wolves, tigers and leopards can't do anything to us. When the time comes, the people in the building will definitely know that we are missing, little
Didn’t Junior Brother also leave a letter to the old landlord? Junior Brother is his old man’s treasure, and they will definitely come to us.”
"Yes, senior brothers and sisters, although we are not as strong as the seniors who entered the mountain before, there are many of us, so we may not be able to get out of this broken mountain on our own."
The night in the forest was very quiet, as if there was nothing here except the moonlight and the shadows of the trees. Qin Junze originally thought that several people would take turns keeping watch to prevent wild beasts from attacking, but unknowingly, the four of them fell into the dreamland.
, maybe because he was too tired, or maybe for other reasons, he slept soundly, a chilling air enveloped the surroundings, and there was no sound at all, as if these four people were extremely important guests, born with the aura of a king.
, dare not get close.
When everyone woke up the next day, it was already broad daylight, and Qin Junze was still lamenting that he was so lucky that he had not been attacked all night. After packing their baggage and getting some dry food, they started their journey through the maze again.
"What the hell are you talking about in this forest? We are obviously following the path left by our former brothers and sisters, but why can't we get out? Now we keep walking in the same direction, why are we still going around in circles? Could it be us?
The formation will be ineffective as soon as it comes, and I have never heard of anyone being trapped here before." Liu Ye held the iron sword in his hand and chopped weeds randomly as he walked, still muttering in his mouth.
When Qin Junze heard this, he seemed to notice something was wrong. Yes, he had followed the path of his predecessors who came to get weapons before. If the maze was stationary, he should have gone out. Is it really like a willow leaf?
What the world says will "move" here?
Thinking of this, Qin Junze stopped. He had to be cautious. If he lost the bet, it would be uneconomical to die here. The master once said that he had something to do, and he hadn't even left the Tianji Building gate yet.
Well, it's so embarrassing.
"Junior brother, what's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" Li Feng, who was walking at the front, happened to turn around and saw Qin Junze's confused and frowning expression. He thought he was injured while fighting the beast yesterday and asked him hurriedly.
Qin Junze raised his head and looked at his senior brothers and sisters: "Could it be that the formation here is really moving, so following the route of the seniors, we will go in the wrong direction."
Li Feng, Liu Ye, and Wang Hai looked at each other, maybe they all had this suspicion, but they just didn't quite believe it.
"Senior brother and sister started training much earlier than me. Have you ever studied allusions in books about formations and the like?"
The three of them all shook their heads. What everyone originally wanted has not yet been achieved. No one has really studied these books.
Qin Junze looked at the few people who were shaking their heads, his expression a little heavy. However, within a moment, he suddenly started to smile, which startled a few of them. They thought they were sick. Among them, Wang Hai was the only one who knew some medical skills, but he didn't.
If you dare to let him try, he is famous for fighting fire with fire. If he can't cure it, it will basically be gone.
"I'm fine, I just seem to have some idea of going out."
Li Feng was thinking about his family and had long been exhausted by this maze. After all, it was really hard to walk around here all day without any hope.
"The disciples who enter the Tianji Tower generally learn their own way. There are only a few dozen disciples in total. Including the elders and remaining teachers, there are no more than seventy or eighty people. How many of them are proficient in formations?"
Senior Sister Liu Ye clapped her hands, "I know, I know, little junior brother, you are saying that although there were only four or five disciples who "walked the mountain" every year, they would be accompanied by teachers and elders, and some of these people would be able to break the formation.
Yes, so once the disciples can't get out, there will be someone to help, right." However, as he spoke, his head dropped again, "We don't have the protection of the teacher, what can we do?"
Qin Junze patted his forehead and said helplessly: "Senior sister, senior sister, the teacher is just protecting you secretly. You still have to go out on your own. When the teacher takes you out, you may have to wait until next year to do it again."
"What I mean is that since we have set up a maze to test our "mountain walking" disciples, we must not go too far in the maze. Otherwise, in this first level, we can only study the past of the formation, and what else can other people do.
I think each of us should have seen this maze before. Even if we don’t delve into it, at least it won’t be too unfamiliar.”
"Junior brother is right. There is no reason why the building should be so complicated."
"What formation is familiar to us? Have we encountered it anywhere since we were young? Or is it the one that everyone knows? I think it is the only answer."
The three of them suddenly remembered something and shouted in surprise: "Enter the maze of buildings!"
Yes, it was Feng Ao who took Qin Junze into the woods in front of the gate of Tianji Building more than half a year ago. It turns out that's the case. No wonder the way of walking according to the predecessors is wrong and there are many forks. It seems that it is because of the time before dawn.
wrong.
Although Qin Junze didn't know how to use this formation at all, he never went out after entering it, and he forgot all about learning. However, Liu Ye and Wang Hai often took leave to go home and play for a few days. This formation was familiar to them.
It's very cool, but it's never been dark before. It's not difficult at all for them to go out at dawn. Just follow them and don't run blindly.
