More than a month later, in a certain area of the boundary river, a large ship was gradually approaching an island not far away.
There were five figures on the big ship. At this moment, after seeing the island not far away, the faces of these five monks showed joy.
The five of them were Mo Ye and his party. In more than a month, they encountered too many things in the boundary river. Fortunately, with the combined efforts of the five of them, they were able to resolve each crisis quickly.
Finally, they arrived at the place recorded on the jade slip today.
"This island seems to be shrouded by some kind of formation." Zhao Mingyu looked at the island intently, and after a moment, he said.
After hearing what Zhao Mingyu said, the other four people immediately observed the island carefully.
Soon, they all saw some clues.
"There is indeed some kind of formation guarding this island." Mo Ye said and frowned.
Because he was too far away, he could not make a more detailed observation of the formation that covered the entire island, and thus could not know its specific functions.
If it were Kelvin here, with Kelvin's ability in the formation, he should be able to achieve this level.
"Let's get closer." Fatty Xu said.
There is still quite a distance from the island now. They are just moving forward a little, so they probably won't be able to trigger the formation.
"Yes." Zhao Mingyu nodded lightly and began to control the ship gradually approaching the island.
As the big ship approached, everyone's feelings about the formation became clearer.
Soon, they could already see part of the spirit patterns suspended in the air. Those spirit patterns formed part of this formation.
Getting closer, a strange wave began to emerge from those spiritual patterns.
"Be careful!" Fatty Xu shouted, and a shield appeared in front of the ship.
A dazzling white light rushed out from where the spirit patterns were and rushed towards the ship where Mo Ye and the others were.
However, because Fatty Xu sacrificed the defensive treasure in time, the white light did not cause any harm to them.
"It seems that we have entered the warning range of this formation." Xu Ling said softly.
"What to do next?" Mo Ye asked from the side.
"Let's go back first and see if there is any solution in this jade slip." Xu Ling replied.
Zhao Mingyu immediately mobilized the big ship and quickly escaped from the range of the formation.
After leaving that area, the uncomfortable atmosphere that had been lingering in their hearts immediately dissipated.
At this time, Xu Ling had already taken out the jade slip and began to search for the contents inside.
The other four people began to wait quietly aside.
More than half an hour later, Xu Ling withdrew his consciousness from the jade slip and said to the four people beside him: "I have found a solution."
"That's good, let's get started!" Zhao Mingyu nodded slightly.
"First approach the area covered by the formation again." Xu Ling gave the order.
Zhao Mingyu immediately began to act according to Xu Ling's instructions, steering the ship closer to the area covered by the formation.
After approaching that area again, those spiritual patterns appeared again. Strong spiritual power fluctuations began to emerge from these spiritual patterns.
But at this time, Xu Ling took out the jade slip in his hand.
Xu Ling quickly formed several seals in his hand. After these seals were struck, they quickly disappeared into the jade slip. The next moment, the jade slip began to gradually emit a faint white light.
Soon, the jade slips began to float above everyone. After a moment, a white light curtain appeared, covering the large ship they were on.
Under the light curtain, something surprising happened quickly.
Those spiritual patterns suspended in the air quickly disappeared and disappeared completely.
"That's it!" Everyone's eyes showed a look of surprise.
This jade slip is not only a road map, but also a key that allows them to board the island safely.
With the protection of the light curtain formed by the jade slips, the big ship began to gradually approach the shore of the island.
After a while, the five people successfully landed on the island.
They did not start exploring the island immediately, but stayed where they were and quietly observed the situation around them.
Most of the area on this island is dense forest, with very few open spaces.
Moreover, after landing on the island, although they saw a large number of plants, they did not feel any vitality from them.
The entire island seems to be a dead island.
"Senior Sister Xu, what does the route map say?" Mo Ye asked.
"I have memorized the correct route in my mind. Next, you must follow my pace and don't move around at will." Xu Ling warned.
The four of them nodded to express their understanding, and then Xu Ling walked to the front and began to lead the way.
Under the leadership of Xu Ling, they began to gradually penetrate deeper into this lifeless island.
As everyone went deeper, the aura of death they felt on the island became more intense.
The increase in the aura of death also made them more convinced that this was a dead island.
In addition to the increasing aura of death, as they continued to go deeper, an invisible force began to appear around them.
This power did not cause any harm to them, but under the influence of this power, the coverage of their spiritual consciousness was greatly reduced. At this moment, the area they can detect with their spiritual consciousness has become very small.
.
Among the five people, Mo Ye suffered the lowest impact, followed by Hun Zhengfeng. Both of them have completed the divine soul technique, and the strength of the divine soul is far different from that of ordinary monks.
After Mo Ye and Hun Zhengfeng briefly explained their situation, the task of guarding the surroundings was handed over to them.
In this way, Xu Ling led the way, Mo Ye and Hun Zhengfeng explored the surrounding area, and Zhao Mingyu and Fatty Xu were on standby at any time. Everyone clearly divided the work and soon walked a long distance again.
"There is a natural maze in front of us. We need to go around it." Suddenly, Xu Ling said.
Everyone nodded and began to follow Xu Ling's steps, bypassing the area in front.
After they made the detour, another hour passed quickly.
"Senior Sister Xu, stop for a moment." Mo Ye suddenly said.
Xu Ling, who was walking at the front, immediately stopped, turned to look at Mo Ye, and asked doubtfully: "Junior Brother Mo, what's wrong? Is something wrong?"
"The situation is very bad." Mo Ye took a deep breath, "To tell you the truth, we have actually been around here several times."
"What?" After hearing Mo Ye's words, everyone's faces immediately showed signs of surprise. However, Hun Zhengfeng's face did not show much surprise, but more confirmation of the guess in his heart.
Xu Ling murmured: "Impossible! I have always followed the route in the jade slips. It is impossible to fall into the maze!"
"No! Unless..." Suddenly, Xu Ling thought of something, and her face immediately turned ugly.
"What's wrong?" Mo Ye asked when he saw Xu Ling's expression.
"The map in the jade slips is not completely correct. In addition to the correct information, there is also a lot of wrong information in the jade slips to confuse the vision." Xu Ling said solemnly.
"That's it!" Mo Ye suddenly said.
In this way, the situation they are encountering now can be explained.
"Then what should we do now? This natural maze is not so easy to get out of." Hun Zhengfeng asked.
"The jade slips also contain some ways to deal with accidents in the natural maze. Although we don't know if these methods are really effective, we should give them a try first!" Xu Ling said.
"Okay!" After getting everyone's consent, Xu Ling began to decipher this natural maze according to the methods recorded in the jade slips.
Time passed little by little, and several hours passed quickly, but they still failed to get out of this natural maze.
"The record in the jade slips about this is wrong. We can only find a way to solve it ourselves." Xu Ling took away the jade slips and said with a tired face.
"Let me give it a try!" Zhao Mingyu suddenly spoke.
"Yeah." Xu Ling looked at her and nodded lightly.
Zhao Mingyu waved one hand, and a strange-shaped object appeared in front of everyone.
The shape of the object was really weird, and there was a mysterious aura constantly emanating from it, making it even more difficult for them to see the object clearly.
"Qi!" Zhao Mingyu cast several seals on the object.
The seal penetrated into the interior of the object, and the next moment, mysterious spiritual patterns emerged on the surface of the object.
Immediately afterwards, rays of spiritual light rushed out from its interior, and then spread in all directions.
Soon, the auras began to dim rapidly, and finally, only five auras remained, pointing to five different places.
"The real way out lies among these five paths." At this time, Zhao Mingyu said calmly.
"Start choosing one!"
Everyone looked at these five spiritual lights and fell into deep thought.
They only have one chance. The reason why the natural maze is called the natural maze is because after it is activated, it will continue to change as the people inside move around. This change is completely irregular, so it is difficult to enter by mistake.
Only those who enter the natural maze will find it extremely difficult to get out of it.
Once they leave the place, the natural maze will change in an instant. By that time, the paths pointed by the other four spiritual lights will have become inaccurate.
Therefore, they will have the only chance.
It was still very difficult to make such a choice. It took more than half an hour before they finally decided on the path they would choose.
After determining the path, everyone began to move forward in the direction pointed by the spiritual light.
When they took steps forward, the remaining four spiritual lights disappeared without a trace in an instant.
At this moment, they had no room for regret.
Walking along this path, gradually, another hour passed.
At this time, Mo Ye called to stop again.
"Isn't it still the real way out?" Fatty Xu asked.
"Yes, we are still going in circles." Mo Ye nodded.
"Go on, my secret treasure can be activated five more times, which means we still have five opportunities to choose." After Zhao Mingyu finished speaking, he began to repeat the previous actions.
Soon, five more spiritual lights appeared.
This time, their choice became much more casual.
Anyway, from the outside, there is no difference at all between the five paths corresponding to the five spiritual lights. All they can do is try their luck.
Another hour passed, and this time, Mo Ye gave the same answer.
They still couldn't get out of this natural maze.
"Four more times." Zhao Mingyu said calmly, repeating what happened before.
Three hours later, Fatty Xu looked at Mo Ye anxiously.
If they haven't walked out this time, they will only have one chance left.
But this time, Mo Ye's face showed a long-lost smile.
Seeing the smile on Mo Ye's face, they knew the answer instantly.
"Finally got out of this damn natural maze!" Fatty Xu shouted loudly, venting the pressure accumulated in his heart during this period.
"As long as you successfully walk out, I will refer to the information on the jade slips for the rest of the journey. However, it is impossible to completely believe in the contents above." Xu Ling said.
The reason why they mistakenly entered the natural maze this time was because they believed the content recorded on the jade slips.
Moving forward, everyone began to become more cautious.
If they don't do something, they are likely to encounter the situation they just encountered again.
It can only be said that they were lucky to be able to successfully walk out of that natural maze. If they accidentally fall into such a natural maze next time, it will be bad.
After going deeper into the island, the aura of death that permeated the surroundings became more intense. At this time, the oppression on Mo Ye and Hun Zhengfeng also became much stronger.
Their spiritual consciousness was greatly suppressed as a result, and the situation of Xu Ling and the others was even worse.
The spiritual consciousness of Xu Ling and the others is not as strong as that of Mo Ye and Hun Zhengfeng. Under the suppression of this force, their spiritual consciousness can hardly leave their bodies.
"This suppressing power of spiritual consciousness is too terrifying!" Fatty Xu sighed.
His consciousness could not be released from his body, which made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
The inability to use spiritual consciousness is equivalent to ordinary people losing their bright eyes, and everything in their eyes becomes unreal.
"But we are almost approaching the entrance of the cave." Xu Ling said.
There are various signs that they are infinitely close to the remains of the strong man's cave.
"I wonder who that strong man is who actually chose to build cave ruins in the boundary river." Hun Zhengfeng said.
"I don't know about this, and there is no description of this in the jade slips." Xu Ling shook her head.
The jade slips are completely blank regarding this aspect. There is no record at all, even if it is false information. (To be continued)
