After hearing what Zi Chen said, the faces of the five people immediately changed, and they looked at Zi Chen in disbelief.
"Are you sure? We are in a phantom formation?"
Lan Hongyi seemed unable to believe it, because she was very confident in Lan Rui's illusion skills. If the opponent's attainments in illusion skills could surpass Lan Rui's, wouldn't they be able to kill them easily?
"Zi Chen, this is no joke."
Lan Rui's expression also became serious.
Zi Chen pointed to the white clouds in the sky and said: "When we first came, the clouds were in that position, and even the shape was the same. I have been observing these few times, and we are here again."
"Could it be a coincidence? After all, the enemies we encountered are becoming more and more powerful." Noah then said, obviously doubting Zi Chen's statement.
Zi Chen said with certainty: "It can't be a coincidence. If you don't believe it, we can do an experiment."
"How to test?"
"It's very simple. Just leave one person here. If we are really caught in the illusion and spin in circles, we will definitely come back."
The expressions of several people changed again.
"The people left behind may be in danger, so we need a strong person."
Zi Chen looked at Lan Rui. Among the group of people, only he, Lan Rui and Lan Hongyi were in the Soul Realm. If one person really wanted to stay, it would be him or Lan Rui.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Lan Hongyi took the initiative and said, "I can't walk anymore. I'll stay here and wait for you."
In the previous battles, Lan Hongyi's fighting power was not weak, but it was obviously not good to leave a girl here alone, facing unknown dangers.
"This should be the best choice." Lan Rui nodded directly in agreement without hesitation.
As a disciple of the Lan family, he should have the means to save his life. Since both of them were willing, Zi Chen could only say take care.
"Your guess had better be true, otherwise I won't be able to spare you." Lan Hongyi snorted.
Zi Chen said: "If my guess is wrong, then there is almost no possibility of us meeting again. So, no matter what, you must be careful."
Leaving Lan Hongyi here, the five people immediately left.
Looking at the five people leaving, Lan Hongyi murmured: "But we must come back."
While moving forward, Zi Chen sensed the distance, and because he was worried that Lan Hongyi would have problems, everyone moved forward at full speed.
After three hours, it was estimated that the path taken was longer than the original six hours. Zi Chen said: "Everyone, be careful. Our enemy should appear soon."
The so-called enemies were the ones who were wearing bamboo hats before. As they met again and again, their fighting power gradually became stronger.
Everyone who was on alert walked forward for another half an hour, but did not see those entities appear.
Judging from the distance, I should have arrived a long time ago, but now I haven't met the enemy for a long time. Could it be that I guessed wrong?
Zi Chen's expression changed. If she really guessed wrong, then she would never see Lan Hongyi again. Will she be in danger if she leaves her alone?
Zi Chen had distracting thoughts in his heart, making it difficult to stay calm.
"Hongyi's defense is unmatched among us, so don't worry about her for the time being." Lan Rui said.
Everyone was still moving forward without stopping.
Several more hours passed, and as time went by, the distracting thoughts in Zi Chen's mind became heavier. This was the first time he encountered such a situation.
But very suddenly, the light began to flash, and the enemies in front reappeared. This time, there were no longer six people, but five people.
Two are in the realm of real souls, and three are in the realm of virtual souls.
When he saw the five people, Zi Chen's face turned ugly, and he said in a deep voice: "It's not the distance, it's the time."
The four of them looked at Zi Chen in confusion.
"Although the distance traveled is different from the last time we encountered the enemy, the time consumed is the same."
Zi Chen said: "The illusion here is also related to time."
There was no room for Zi Chen to explain too much, and five beings wearing bamboo hats had already rushed forward.
"Try to delay the fight and don't expose your greatest means."
Before Zi Chen met his opponent, he warned loudly.
These people in bamboo hats have no souls, cannot speak, but have a strong sense of fighting.
Zi Chen used his thunder soul power to fight fiercely with a Soul Realm. During this period, he deliberately suppressed some power so that he only had a small upper hand.
Noah and the other three acted according to what Zi Chen said and deliberately suppressed their power.
Lan Rui, who was fighting, asked: "Why, are you sure?"
Zi Chen knocked back the enemy with a palm and said, "Perhaps, we will come here many times to verify."
This battle took a little longer, because Zi Chen already had a guess about the current situation, so he didn't have to worry about losing Lan Hongyi.
After the battle, the five people continued to walk forward.
Four hours later, they successfully spotted Lan Hongyi, who was sitting on the grass in a daze. It was obvious that he was not in any danger.
Sensing the fluctuation of soul power, she immediately turned around and saw Zi Chen and his group a hundred feet away.
She stood up immediately, with a smile on her face, "It seems that your eyesight is pretty good."
Zi Chen's expression became extremely solemn, and Noah and others had a look of astonishment on their faces.
Because they didn't see Lan Hongyi at all before, and they only saw each other when they just arrived at Baizhang.
Lan Rui was also thoughtful.
"What's wrong?"
Lan Hongyi stepped forward, saw Zi Chen with an abnormal expression, and said, "Are you so unhappy when you see me? Do you really want to leave me behind?"
Zi Chen said: "Noah, you go to the front."
Noah nodded and swept forward. Zi Chen looked at Noah who was moving forward and continued: "Don't go too fast, and don't stop. Face me and retreat until you can't see me."
Seeing Zi Chen's expression so solemn, Lan Hongyi no longer tried to pester Zi Chen, but turned to look at Noah.
Noah retreated in the sight of everyone, until he retreated a hundred feet away, and then disappeared out of thin air as if he had evaporated from the world.
"how so?"
Lan Hongyi was stunned. At this time, she could see the grassland several miles away, but she could not see Noah.
"You continue to stay here."
Zi Chen flew forward and passed a hundred feet. He saw Noah, but could no longer see Lan Rui and others.
There are only two people existing on this huge grassland.
Zi Chen turned back and saw everyone again.
At this time, several people were walking towards this side, and Lan Rui asked: "What did you find?"
"It's like being in a different space."
Zi Chen looked around and said: "Now it is certain that we are trapped in this place. It has something to do with time and space."
