Chapter nine hundred and ninth encounter an ambush
After crossing the 'Xuanwu River', the road ahead is completely unknown, and since we have already encountered the fifth-level holy beast, it means that there will probably be more in the future, so even Ye Xuan does not dare to trust him.
I was extremely vigilant, and my marching speed also slowed down a lot.
After walking through a small forest without any danger, what appeared in front of the two people was a relatively flat grassland. The ground was covered with unknown light gray grass. It looked like dead grass, but if you look closely, you can see that it was a relatively flat grassland.
I found that all those weeds were full of life, but the colors were strange.
On the other side of this grassland, there is another endless forest, and as far as the end of the sight, there is a towering mountain wall.
That is the 'end' of the Poison Ivy Back Valley, which is the middle of the gourd-shaped Poison Ivy Valley, the dividing point between the front valley and the back valley. Seeing it also means that Ye Xuan and the others have traveled 70% of the distance to the back valley.
.
"There doesn't seem to be any monsters here." Huo Miao speculated in a low voice as she looked at the grass in front of her.
The field of view ahead is wide, and it is unlikely that monsters and poison ivy will hide. The only dangers that need to be paid attention to are the dangers from the underground. However, there are not many monsters living underground in Poison Ivy Valley, and I did not encounter two along the way.
, Huo Miao secretly prayed that it would be best not to have one here, so that the two of them could safely pass through this grassland.
"It does look very peaceful." Ye Xuan nodded slightly, but his expression did not relax, and he muttered, "But it always feels like it's a little... too peaceful."
He used his spiritual power to the limit and carefully explored the grassland in front of him, including the ground below. However, he did not find any abnormality. He relaxed a little and said to Huo Miao: "In any case, it is better to be careful. Let's go there.
.”
"Okay." Huo Miao nodded and followed Ye Xuan carefully.
After walking two-thirds of the way, nothing happened. Huo Miao subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she could really cross this grassland safely as she wished.
But at this moment, he suddenly found that Ye Xuan, who was walking in front, stopped without warning, and suddenly turned his head to the right, with a very ugly look on his face.
Huo Miao's heart skipped a beat and she asked nervously: "Sixth brother, what's wrong?"
Ye Xuan stared at the empty ground thousands of feet away to the right, his eyes flashed slightly, and he faintly uttered three words: "I'm trapped..."
"What!!" Huo Miao was shocked, and suddenly felt a chill running down his spine. He subconsciously raised all his holy power and made a defensive posture. While he was frightened, he was also a little confused, because although Ye Xuan said,
Although he was exposed to this extremely unfavorable situation, his expression looked a little too calm, not like someone who had been exposed and was in deep danger.
"Buzz..."
In the next breath, before Huo Miao had time to ask any more questions, she suddenly felt the ground beneath her feet shake violently, and an extremely powerful and strange wave appeared without warning. Then she found that the surrounding space was distorted at this moment.
, as soon as the eyes bloomed, the surrounding scenery completely changed.
The grass beneath my feet disappeared, the woods behind me disappeared, and the shadows of the jungle and mountain walls in front disappeared without a trace. All that filled my sight was countless distorted gray mist, and even the feeling of being down to earth was much blurred, making
He couldn't help but wonder if he was still 'standing' on the ground.
"This, this is..." Huo Miao sent out his spiritual thoughts to explore, but found that he could not detect anything, as if he was in an infinitely wide void space. This situation made him a little panicked, and he couldn't help but look for help.
He looked at Ye Xuan in front of him.
Ye Xuan's face became a little gloomy, and he whispered: "This is a phantom formation... No, to be precise, it is a phantom killing formation..."
"Oh? Sure enough, you have some skills. You can tell at a glance that this is a phantom killing formation."
At this time, a cold and old voice suddenly sounded. Huo Miao was shocked and looked around. She saw thousands of feet away to the right, exactly where Ye Xuan was looking at before. The gray 'mist' twisted for a while, revealing an unknown...
When did the figures of the five people appear there?
"Pei Shenhuan!! Ge Zhanxiong!!" The moment he saw the two leaders among the five, Huo Miao subconsciously exclaimed, and at the same time she fully realized what was going on - it turned out to be 'worry'
The long-awaited ambush is finally here!
Unexpectedly, Ye Xuan was right. These people had not shown any trace in the past few days. They really ran ahead to set a trap for the two of them...
But how did they know the route of the two of them?
At this time, as if hearing the surprise and suspicion in Huo Miao's heart, Ye Xuan said calmly: "It's not surprising that they would set up an ambush here in advance. I think they should have guessed it a long time ago."
All routes we may take, and then set up surveillance formations near all routes before us, then we can gradually narrow the scope of our actions, and finally completely determine a 'must pass', and then set up an ambush
That’s it.”
"Hmph!! It's really admirable that you can still pretend to analyze calmly at this time." After hearing Ye Xuan's words, Ge Zhanxiong in the distance showed a hint of surprise in his eyes, and then sneered, "It's only you who understand this now.
,Don’t you think it’s too late?”
Indeed, after Pei Shenhuan entered the valley, he left before Ye Xuan and the others. After that, he did not start treasure hunting. Instead, he set up surveillance formations as quickly as possible on all routes that Ye Xuan and the others might pass. When Ye Xuan and the others were confirmed
After the initial direction he took, he continued to monitor several possible subsequent branch routes in that direction, and finally determined the current only way, and laid an ambush here.
Because Ye Xuan and the others were wasting time searching for treasures along the way, Pei Shenhuan was always one step ahead of them. After Ge Zhanxiong and the others came in, they were guided by Pei Shenhuan's signal and quickly bypassed Ye Xuan, Huo Miao, and Pei Shenhuan.
Convergence.
The monitoring formations set up by Pei Shenhuan were often monitored far away from the target route, so even though Ye Xuan had been very careful, he had never discovered those monitoring formations.
…
Ye Xuanhuan didn't care about Ge Zhanxiong's sarcasm. He looked up at Pei Shenhuan and said in a somewhat admiring tone: "This phantom killing formation is indeed cleverly arranged. Before it was launched, I didn't notice it at all.
And the formation you are hiding in is also very good, you are worthy of being an experienced formation master."
Being so 'praised' by Ye Xuan, Pei Shenhuan couldn't help but show a strange look, because these words were really inconsistent with the atmosphere of the scene. He couldn't understand why the other party could still be so calm since they had been ambushed.
.
Ye Xuan's indifferent attitude made Ge Zhanxiong, who had just made a sarcastic comment, burst into anger. Before Pei Shenhuan could speak, he shouted: "Ye Xuan!! Do you think your pretentiousness will be useful now! You two today
He is destined to be buried here!"
Ye Xuan glanced at him and said lightly: "Do you really think so?"
