Chapter 1401 Difficulty
"Ghost wall?" Several people looked at each other in surprise, and even Chen Xuan was slightly startled.
But no matter which one it was, there was no substantial danger. It just made people wander around in circles without being able to find the exit, which was purely a waste of time.
So after hearing what Li Yi said, everyone felt relieved.
However, although they all breathed a sigh of relief, they still did not dare to move forward rashly. They looked at each other, and no one was willing to take the lead. Even if the ghost wall was nothing to be afraid of, what if this one was not? Who knows, there might be some death trap in it?
After a stalemate, everyone's eyes finally fell on Li Yi. The meaning was very clear. Li Yi had been the leader all the way here. At this critical juncture, Li Yi should naturally take the lead, because he was the leader.
However, for some reason, Li Yi did not intend to continue to lead the way this time. He looked around at everyone and said in a deep voice: "It's just a ghost wall, there's nothing to be afraid of. Now, let's do this. You all line up in turn. Qian Tao, you lead the way in front, and I'll be the one behind. How about it?"
"This..." Qian Tao hesitated immediately. Of course, he had no objection to others not taking the lead, but he was unlucky. He couldn't help but twitched his mouth and said: "Brother Li, it's not that I don't want to, but I don't know the way. I have never been to this place. I am not familiar with the route map you sent me. Even if I follow the map, it's easy to get lost. What's more, I can't even see the road in front..."
"That's okay. I'll be the one behind and point you in the direction at any time, so you won't make mistakes." Li Yi said with a firm face.
"Then... okay..." At this point, Li Yi couldn't refuse anymore, so he had to bite the bullet and lead the way forward.
Everyone lined up in a straight line, with Qian Tao at the head, followed by Zhou Long, who followed closely behind Qian Tao one step away, followed by Chen Xuan and Sun Tingting, and finally Wei Xia, and Li Yi who was responsible for holding the line.
Qian Tao was very cautious, and every step he took was trembling as if he was walking on thin ice, fearing that he would fall into a fatal trap. However, Li Yi behind him would give orders every few steps, and everyone walked in the fog for a full incense stick of time, but they did not encounter any accidents or dangers.
Chen Xuan turned his head and looked around. Although they were only one step away from each other, in this fog, even at such a short distance, the figures had become a little blurred, and it was clear how outrageous the visibility was.
However, what Lin Yi was more puzzled about at the moment was Li Yi's deliberate arrangement.
Everyone knew that in this situation, it was most appropriate for him to go first, not only because he was most familiar with the route map and was not easy to get lost, but also because he was a master in the late stage of fusion and one of the two most powerful among the crowd.
Indeed, a strong person is needed to hold the line at the back, but in terms of the degree of danger and challenge, it is obviously higher for the person walking in front. If there is any danger, he can respond faster.
With Li Yi's shrewdness, he can't fail to figure out this kind of thing, but he still has to stay at the back to hold the line. Chen Xuan thought about it and there are only two possibilities.
Either he thinks this place is dangerous, so he lets Qian Tao and himself walk in front, just to be cannon fodder, so that he can escape in time even if something unexpected happens, or he has ulterior motives and other intentions, but it is unknown what bad intentions are.
The moonlight is hazy, and the visibility is only one step away. There are also unknown existences that are looming in the fog, like ghost lights but not ghost lights, but more like ghost shadows, forming an extremely weird and evil picture.
Everyone dared not breathe more, listening to Chu Bubai's command at the back, just one after another, queuing up in the fog.
If it were an ordinary person, seeing ghosts flashing around from time to time, I'm afraid even my heart would jump out of my chest at this time. Fortunately, everyone is a master of the fusion stage, and their minds are much more tenacious than ordinary people. Some nervousness and fear are inevitable, but it will not affect their actions.
In their eyes, even if there are really any legendary ghosts, there is nothing to be afraid of. Ghosts are just a form of the soul. No matter how powerful they are, they are far less powerful than practitioners.
Everyone secretly encouraged themselves, and after walking for a whole stick of incense, there really was no accident. They felt more at ease in their hearts, and their steps were no longer as timid as at the beginning.
However, after a while, Chen Xuan suddenly felt something was wrong, and the jade pendant began to warn faintly. He suddenly felt a chill in his heart, there was a problem!
"Sun Tingting!" Lin Yi subconsciously grabbed Sun Tingting's hand, and turned his head to look forward and backward. As a result, he found that except for Sun Tingting, who he was holding, the others had disappeared without a trace.
Even if the fog was thick before, because they were only one or two steps away from each other, they could still see a vague shadow, but now there is no shadow at all. Qian Tao and Zhou Long, who were walking in front, and Li Yi and Wei Xia, who were walking behind, suddenly disappeared.
There is indeed a problem! Lin Yi was shocked, but at the same time, he was a little lucky. Fortunately, he had been holding Sun Tingting, otherwise Sun Tingting might have disappeared with him.
"This... What happened... Why did the others disappear..." Sun Tingting finally realized that something was wrong, and her voice trembled a little. After all, she was a girl, and she was still very nervous in such a weird environment.
"Don't act rashly first, let's check the situation!" Chen Xuan lowered his voice, and at the same time turned his head to look in front and back, trying to release his spiritual consciousness, but it was still the same as before, the spiritual consciousness that had been tried and tested outside came to this place, and it turned out to be... Lost in despair, no reaction at all
At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded not far behind, it was Li Yi who had disappeared.
"This is a fantasy formation! We can't stay here for a long time. Everyone, hurry up and rush forward. As long as you keep rushing forward, you can get through it!" After the voice fell, several brushing sounds were heard, and it was clear that someone rushed forward quickly.
When Sun Tingting heard this, she subconsciously wanted to rush forward, but before she could take a step forward, she was pulled back by Chen Xuan.
"Sun Tingting, calm down!" Chen Xuan shouted.
Although this sound is not loud, it is like a drum in the evening and a bell in the morning. Directly hitting Sun Tingting's heart, her body suddenly shook, and then she suddenly woke up with a look of astonishment on her face.
"I...what happened to me just now?" Sun Tingting couldn't help but feel frightened. Li Yi's voice just now seemed to have some kind of bewitching magic power, which made her lose her mind. Then she subconsciously obeyed the other party's order. If Chen Xuan hadn't put her in time, Pulling back, I didn’t even know where I had rushed at this time.
"You must have been confused just now. This guy Li Yi is really weird!" Chen Xuan paid attention to everything around him and said on guard.
Until this moment, he finally understood Li Yi's intentions. Everyone had followed him all the way down, thus establishing enough trust and subconsciously relaxing their guard. He began to follow his orders blindly.
Especially during the journey just after entering the fog, almost every step was taken according to Li Yi's instructions, which further strengthened this subconscious habit. In addition, the man's voice just now was made by some unknown means, and it was obviously capable of confusing people's minds. Only then could everyone subconsciously follow his instructions.
This was a trap set from the beginning. From the moment they agreed to join the gang, everyone had actually fallen into Li Yi's hypnotic rhythm. Li Yi was so scheming!
Fortunately, Chen Xuan was suspicious of him from the beginning to the end, and was always paying attention to all kinds of strange things, so he did not fall for the bait as easily as others. Moreover, he was so determined, how could ordinary people be able to seduce him?
It's just that although Chen Xuan heard something was wrong, he couldn't see the situation clearly at this place and didn't dare to act rashly. At this moment, he couldn't care about other people and could only care about Sun Tingting beside him.
"Confused? No wonder she seemed to be involuntarily just now, and her body was a little bit out of control..." After hearing Chen Xuan's words, Sun Tingting was immediately startled. At the same time, she was secretly glad that Lin Yi was by her side, and then she couldn't help but said nervously: " What should we do now?"
"We can't see the situation clearly, so we can only stay put for the time being. Let's stay here for a while." Chen Xuan said, while raising his ears and trying to listen to everything around him.
In this current situation, neither the eyes nor the consciousness are useful, but the ears are slightly better. If there is any movement around, at least you can still hear some sounds.
"Yes." Sun Tingting nodded with lingering fear, holding Chen Xuan's hand tightly with one hand. At the same time, like Chen Xuan, she was wary of anyone around her.
The two of them waited quietly for a while, but there was no movement around them. When Chen Xuan thought about it, no matter what tricks Li Yi played, Qian Tao and Zhou Long were still genuine mid-term masters of fusion. Even if they were caught in some conspiracy, There is always some room for struggle, so it won't just be killed so quietly, right?
Of course, if you think about it to the extreme, Li Yi tried so hard to bring everyone here. With his city, he should not leave any room for everyone to turn around. Even if Qian Tao and others just disappeared quietly like this , it is not impossible.
But the question is, why did Li Yi spend so much effort to bring unrelated people like himself to such a place and then kill them?
Chen Xuan couldn't figure this out for a while, but he could vaguely feel that it should be related to the life fruit. After all, the medicinal fragrance of the life fruit couldn't be faked, but if there was any specific connection, then it wouldn't be possible. alright.
"Have they gone far? Or..." Sun Tingting held Chen Xuan's hand tightly and did not dare to continue in the middle of her words, because until now, she could still see ghosts flickering around her from the corner of her eyes from time to time.
If nothing happened to Qian Tao and others, and Li Yi found out that the two of them had not followed, there would definitely be countermeasures. Even if he didn't come back to look for him personally, he would still find ways to send a signal or something. But right now, there is no movement at all in front of him. No cherry blossoms
If Chen Xuan's prediction was correct and Li Yizhen had ulterior motives, Qian Tao and the others would most likely be in danger. Thinking of this, Sun Tingting couldn't help but feel her hair stand on end. If Chen Xuan hadn't held her back just now, she would have definitely joined them. Got it!
"I don't know. For the current plan, we can only take one step at a time." Chen Xuan said seriously. He also had no idea, so he could only wait and see what happens.
Everything around him is unknown and may be fatal dangers. The only thing that makes Chen Xuan feel at ease right now is that the jade pendant no longer warns at this moment. Li Yi aside, at least one thing is certain. Still safe.
But being safe for a moment does not mean that it will always be safe in the future. On the one hand, Chen Xuan didn't want to stay where he was for too long, and on the other hand, he also wanted to know what kind of tricks Li Yi was up to, so he held Sun Tingting tightly with one hand and moved forward with his heart in mind.
However, after only a few steps, he felt a sense of danger in his heart. The further he walked, the stronger the feeling became. Chen Xuan was finally sure that the cluster was definitely not ordinary, and there was definitely something wrong ahead!
After understanding this, Chen Xuan stopped moving forward and stopped again with Sun Tingting.
"Aren't we leaving?" Sun Tingting turned her head and looked at Chen Xuan in surprise.
"Yes, we're not leaving." Chen Xuan nodded. He was not a fool. He knew that there was a dangerous place ahead, but he still took Sun Tingting to go. That was not called being powerful, but having a brain hole.
"Then we..." Sun Tingting looked at the foggy surroundings and the ghosts that flashed from time to time, and couldn't help shrinking her neck.
"It's okay, we'll stay here, there's no danger." Chen Xuan smiled comfortingly. Staying where they were could keep their vigilance to the maximum extent. Even if they encountered any danger, they could find it at the first time. There was nothing to be afraid of.
"Okay." Sun Tingting nodded seriously. Although she was still nervous, she would do whatever Chen Xuan said.
Time passed by bit by bit. In the blink of an eye, the sky began to brighten. A whole night had passed, but the fog did not dissipate. Compared with the night, the visibility was slightly better, but very limited.
What surprised Chen Xuan was that he and Sun Tingting stayed here for a whole night, but did not encounter any situation. There was no danger, but there was no news from the previous ones. Li Yi and Qian Tao seemed to have really disappeared out of thin air.
