Chapter 3869: Trapped in the Formation

Through this arch, Xiao Yi and Xue Yaoyue came to another world.

They are now in the mountain. Is it a natural formation or an artificial development? The deeper they go, the more confused this question becomes.

Until the appearance of a step confirmed Xiao Yi's previous guess that this place was indeed built artificially.

"The steps should be flat as a single piece of rock, cut like this."

Xue Yaoyue took a flashlight and examined it carefully. As far as the eye could see, this step was at least thirty meters long, extending diagonally downwards. It was unknown where it led.

"It is not cutting with modern tools. If modern tools are used, electricity is a big difficulty. If it is man-made, who did it?"

The steps are two meters long, 40 centimeters wide, and 30 centimeters high. Even with the current mechanical conditions, it would take a lot of manpower and financial resources to build such a step.

Building such a staircase means that people cannot live in it. Secondly, even if it is for sightseeing, this kind of place is not a good choice. With doubts in his heart, he and Xue Yaoyue walked down the stairs. go.

When Xiao Yi was halfway there, fire suddenly lit up on the stone walls on both sides. An iron drill was inserted into the stone wall, and a lantern hung on the exposed end. I don't know what was used in the lantern. fuel.

It is still possible to burn after so many years. What is even more weird is that neither Xiao Yi nor Xue Yaoyue noticed the existence of these lanterns before, nor did they expect that such things that have been left for many years can glow.

"This... could it be said to be a place where ancient people lived?"

Xiao Yi moved quickly and quickly climbed up along the stone wall, holding the iron drill in one hand.

He took off one of the lanterns, let go of his hands and feet and landed smoothly on the ground. Xiao Yi wanted to see what was inside.

The lantern was just ordinary lamp oil, and the wick inside was burning. The strange thing was that the burning of the wick did not reduce the lamp oil inside.

"Ordinary lamp oil wicks, the lamps were not lit when we came in, so why did these lamps all burn in an instant?"

Could it be that……

Xiao Yi suddenly noticed something. He turned around and looked behind him, only to see that the steps behind him were slowly disappearing.

"No! We triggered the mechanism and activated the formation in this place?"

"What? Formation?"

Xue Yaoyue looked back and saw that there was indeed something strange here. The steps were disappearing and they had no way to turn back.

Turning around and running quickly, the steps in front of Xiao Yi were fading away little by little, and his eyes could see an endless abyss in front of him.

"damn it!"

Xiao Yi took out a small thing from his body and threw it down. A piece of compressed biscuit fell into it. Xiao Yi reached out and squeezed his thigh, feeling a pain in his thigh.

"what on earth is it?"

With an ominous premonition, Xiao Yi returned to Xue Yaoyue. He took out the positioning device on his body, but there was no signal at all.

Even this signal-strengthening electronic device has lost its function. What can come in handy at this time is the most traditional and simple method, an old-fashioned compass.

Holding the compass in his hand, he looked at the pointer in the middle, which was spinning in circles. He couldn't even tell the difference between east, west and north. This was the first time Xiao Yi encountered such a strange thing.

"It seems that this place is indeed very strange. We can only move forward, there is no way out."

“Xiao Yi, we won’t be trapped and die here, right?”

"Won't!"

Xiao Yixin said that when he said this, he didn't have the confidence in his heart. Now he can only take one step at a time, not believing that this kind of place can trap him.

Continuing to walk down the steps, Xiao Yi and his master were communicating at the same time, asking his master to help him come up with ideas. What on earth is going on here?

Zixu has been paying attention. Although he did not speak after Xiao Yi entered here, all the changes here were under his control.

"It seems that this large formation here is intended to trap those who break in here, and they will never be able to get out."

"Master, what do you mean..."

"Based on the current signs, it is very likely that a strong man once existed in this place. Just like when you found the body of that woman under the ice, in your world, perhaps a long time ago, there was a strong man. Criticize the strong.”

Zixu deduced that it was a pity that none of these strong men could escape the punishment of time in the end. In the end, they all fell, unable to break through the final shackles. Ascension became a dream.

"Isn't this formation an illusion formation?"

"It's not a simple illusion formation, it's a more advanced formation. This place has existed for at least a thousand years. After so many years, the formation's effect is still there, and its methods are extraordinary."

Zixu is studying the mystery of the formation. As long as he finds the method, it only takes a moment to crack it.

So before that, we need to rely on Xiao Yi's strength. Xiao Yi gradually discovered that the steps behind him were disappearing faster and faster. He and Xue Yaoyue had to speed up their pace, otherwise they would fall into the endless abyss. .

"Xiao Yi, do you have any solution? We can't keep wasting it like this."

Xue Yaoyue estimated that they had passed at least two thousand meters along the steps. With such a long distance and the depth of entering here before, they were almost reaching the bottom of the mountain. It seemed like the steps were endless.

Physical energy consumption is a big key. It is unknown what dangers and troubles will be encountered later. Xiao Yi is also waiting for the master's reply.

Seeing the disappearing steps, which are less than one meter away from them, Xiao Yi can clearly see the darkness behind him and the gusts of cold wind coming through the darkness. He shouted.

"Master, think of a way quickly!"

"Okay, don't worry, I have found a way. Now I will break this formation."

Zixu's figure appeared around Xiao Yi's body. He quickly formed seals with his fingers and outlined a Tai Chi Bagua diagram.

His fingers moved on it, and four of the sixty-four hexagrams on the Bagua diagram were taken out respectively. With a light push of his palm, the hexagrams flew to the lanterns hung by the iron rod. The lanterns seemed to have no changes.

But then, the lights of the four lanterns that were hit by the hexagrams suddenly turned green, emitting a faint green light, which seemed a bit weird in such a place. Zixu chuckled.

This formation can trap others, but for him, it is just a show of skill before an expert. He only needs simple means to unlock the formation.

"Okay, the formation has been broken. Master will teach you how to set up and break the formation later, so you don't have to ask for help from Master every time."
