After bidding farewell, Ding Fan embarked on a mountain climbing journey.
Wei Lang was reluctant to leave and followed silently for a while. However, Ding Fan moved too fast for him to keep up, and he soon lost sight of his shadow.
Wiping away his gray tears, Wei Lang went to summon the ghost ghost brothers again and continued to brag.
The top of the mountain is just ahead, but it feels like three days and three nights have passed. The closer I get, the more numb I feel and the negative feeling in my heart.
"Brother Fan, although you are in the form of a spirit ghost, you are still a human being. Once the illusion array is triggered, you cannot predict what will happen. You cannot be confused at this time." Wei Teng noticed Ding Fan's change and hurriedly reminded him.
"The phantom formation is really scary, even I feel confused." Leng Ling'er added.
"Ling'er, you should stop covering up for Brother Fan. You must tell him directly." Wei Teng said anxiously.
Ding Fan chuckled, "Don't worry, you two, everything is fine with me. Feel the pressure of the phantom formation."
"I was shocked. I thought it was over as soon as I came here!" Witten muttered.
Finally, we came to the illusion array.
It is more difficult than imagined, the surroundings are darker, and with the help of a discerning eye, one can only barely distinguish the path of the maze.
There may be no pressure when traveling normally, but if you encounter a mandrill, if you make a mistake in your haste, you may end up worse than the spirit ghosts here, and you will never be able to do it again.
With the path of the maze in his mind, Ding Fan found the entrance, took a sharp breath and rushed in.
His heart was beating violently, and it was almost impossible to maintain his spirit ghost form. This was the result of the high tension among the three at the same frequency.
Ding Fan had to remind: "Both of you have already come in. Relax, I'm about to regain my human body."
"Hehe, you really scared me." Witten sneered.
"I'm sorry, Xiaofan. Just in case, let's take the Hidden Qi Pill." After Leng Ling'er apologized, she also made some suggestions.
After taking the Hidden Qi Pill, in the spirit ghost state, I feel that my steps are much lighter, and the pressure caused by the illusion array has also been reduced.
In fact, it has nothing to do with the Hidden Qi Pill. The reason why Ding Fan feels this way is because he was promoted to a second-level spirit ghost!
This speed is unparalleled, even Leng Linger is envious.
The Soul Seizing Illusionary Array is not just formed by dense fog. There are bare hills, dark yellow rivers, and even small patches of trees that resemble a misty forest.
There are dots of light on the ground, like the glutinous rice left behind, which is very confusing.
"Xiao Fan, in the last battle, most of the Ghost Mist Forest was destroyed, and most of the glutinous rice grains were gone." Leng Ling'er reminded him from time to time.
"Well, this is an illusion."
Ding Fan nodded. There were not only external illusion formations here, but also internal interference. It was indeed powerful.
Following the memory route in his mind, Ding Fan also encountered new problems.
Because the ratio is not fixed, the same line segment length will take different times here, which completely depends on the mentality of the person entering the formation.
Also, Ding Fan brought glutinous rice grains, but they were of no use at the moment because the path he passed had merged with the mountains and rivers and was no longer the same as before.
After walking for what seemed like a lifetime, Witten recounted some of his experiences ten times, and finally he was halfway through the journey.
"This is the center of the illusion array." Ding Fan stopped.
It's not a rest, but the intersections in three directions are exactly the same!
The brain was in chaos, and the pictures in the mind became blurred. At this moment, the Dharma Eyes were also severely consumed. The more impatient I was, the less discernible I became.
"Holy shit, I actually have this skill!" Witten was also stunned.
There is no sense of direction in the center of the phantom array, visibility is low, and there is no reference at all. It seems that any path is right.
"Xiao Fan, Brother Wei, there are exactly three of us, and we can perceive the phantom array respectively." Leng Ling'er tentatively said.
You can give it a try!
So, Ding Fan sat down cross-legged facing a passage, and Wei Teng and Leng Ling'er each sensed one.
After half a day's work, the three cobblers discussed it for another half day.
There is almost no difference in pressure from three directions!
Ding Fan was unwilling to give in and adjusted his direction. It was indeed the case!
There is no way back, it has been sealed, and if you make a wrong step, the illusion array will be triggered, with unpredictable consequences.
Everything he had learned in his life was useless. For a moment, Ding Fan was at a loss.
"Xiaofan, I have an idea." Leng Ling'er tried.
"What is it?" Ding Fan asked quickly.
"You choose the most likely passage first, and I will go through the formation. If I can pass..."
no!
Ding Fan immediately refused, and Leng Ling'er said anxiously: "Then we can't all be trapped here. Xiaofan, I am a real spirit ghost. Even if the magic array is triggered, I can still regroup. Besides, there are still three points left.
What’s the probability of success of 1?”
"I don't agree." Ding Fan said firmly: "Ling'er, the risk of doing this is too great. Even if you can regroup, how will the time be converted? How will I find you next time? Moreover, your level is high and you can trigger the illusion array.
It will definitely arouse alarm, I'm afraid something will happen before I find you."
"Xiaofan, even if something unexpected happens, I will accept it," Leng Ling'er said emotionally.
Ding Fan was very moved, but his attitude was firm and he disagreed with Leng Ling'er's stupidity.
"Ling'er, I don't agree either." Witten interjected, "Think about it, if it succeeds, it's okay, but if it fails, Brother Fan and I still have to choose. We are one, and there is nothing left to sacrifice."
Too!
Leng Ling'er was extremely depressed. Even if Wei Teng could come out in person, he would not take the risk because he cherished his life.
"This won't work, that won't work either. Brother Wei, you have the most experience, so you should think of a way." Leng Ling'er said angrily.
"Ling'er, let me ask you, what are we most afraid of along the way?" Witten asked instead without answering.
"I'm afraid of triggering the phantom array!"
"Nonsense, I'm more scared than you, what else?" Witten asked again.
"I'm afraid of meeting a mandrill." Leng Ling'er said again.
"Isn't this the end?"
Leng Ling'er thought for a moment and was extremely shocked, "Brother Wei, do you mean to take the initiative to lure the mandrill here?"
"That's right. They are guarding the right passage. If they can tell the direction from which the mandrills are coming, we can choose the right route."
"Smart!" Ding Fan was overjoyed and stood up.
"No!" Leng Ling'er became anxious and complained: "Brother Wei, this method is a bad idea. I have experienced the ferocity of Lijue beasts, not to mention the mandrills are still above them. In addition, there are so many mandrills, there are hundreds of them, which is terrifying.
Ultimate!"
"What a woman!" Witten scorned: "How can we all rush here at once? It is not impossible for the three of us to join forces to deal with one or two."
"Brother Wei, you didn't understand what I meant. No one knows how high the mandrill's cultivation level is!"
"Is it more scary to rush through a level randomly, or to face a few mandrills?" Witten snorted.
Whichever is the lesser of two powers harming each other!
There can be no further delay, Ding Fan made a decision, let's do it!
The "Ghost Realm Sutra" explains that when you go to Yin Mountain, mandrills can swallow the soul and tear the body apart, and no living person can cross it.
"Mandrills are very sensitive to the scent of strangers. I can attract them and then attract them away." Ding Fan said.
"No! The breath of strangers may trigger the phantom array!" Leng Ling'er said again.
"I can help. The breath of strangers released by my own breath wrapped around Brother Fan will probably not be triggered."
