Chapter 928: Survival in the Battlefield

Xiao Mian shook his head slightly to get rid of the dizziness.

Looking around, he found himself in a long corridor with no end in sight. It was empty and there was no external objects.

Even Fu Xigui and others were nowhere to be seen.

However, when the octagonal array appeared above everyone's head, Xiao Mian clearly saw Fu Xigui and others, like him, being included in it.

Could it be that Long Yinyu favored him and gave him special care?

If so, this is not a good thing...

It is more likely that the seven people were isolated by Long Yinyu and imprisoned in different areas. In this way, even if everyone wanted to fight each other, it would be impossible.

After figuring this out, Xiao Mian rushed along the corridor.

Unexpectedly, it took him a quarter of an hour to walk.

With Xiao Mian's speed, even if he did not try his best, a quarter of an hour of running would be enough to travel dozens of miles. How could a corridor cover this distance?

Suddenly stopping his body, Xiao Mian frowned and said nothing.

"Ghost Master! Have you found anything?"

"You are trapped in a formation disk by Long Yinyu!" Xiao Mian had expected Gui Tou to say this, but then Xiao Mian's face changed slightly, because Gui Tou continued: "The grade of that formation disk is not less than the seventh grade, it is likely to be the eighth grade!"

"Eighth grade formation disk?"

"Eighth grade formation disk! And it should be a formation that specializes in siege!"

"..., Ghost Master, do you have a good plan to break the formation?"

"Do your best and leave it to fate..."

As he said this, a dark ghost shadow emerged from Xiao Mian's body.

The ghost shadow solidified and finally turned into a ghost baby about an inch tall.

The ghost baby slowly rose into the air and condensed three feet in front of Xiao Mian. Suddenly, the entire inky black ghost shadow burst open and turned into a burst of black rain, shooting towards the corridors in all directions. The fine black shadow fragments were like cow hair, drilling into the rock wall.

Xiao Mian knew that the ghost head was analyzing the operation of the Longyin Yu array. Anyway, he couldn't get out of this corridor alone, so he waited patiently.

Gradually, dots of black clouds bloomed on the corridor that seemed to be made of white jade.

The landing point of these black clouds was exactly where the black rain that the ghost head had shot before drilled into the corridor. Obviously, the ghost head's method had taken effect.

As time went by, the black clouds gradually expanded, and the black clouds that were close to each other merged with each other, forming a larger and larger black sky...

A quarter of an hour later, when the ghost head condensed the ghost baby again, the entire corridor was almost stained with a layer of black, which looked weird and deep.

Before Xiao Mian could speak, a rumbling thunder sounded in the tunnel.

Then, three feet in front of Xiao Mian, rocks flew through the air and the tunnel shattered.

Xiao Mian couldn't help showing his joy, but when he looked carefully, he hesitated.

It turned out that after Guitou's tricks, the originally straight tunnel was turned into a messy intersection with eight forks!

As his eyes turned from one intersection to another, Xiao Mian's face became more and more ugly...

What is he trying to do?

The original straight road was enough to annoy him, and Guitou also made eight forks. Is he trying to play a trick?

Turning his head, Xiao Mian saw that Guitou also had a confused look on his face, and his dissatisfaction in his heart instantly turned into a helpless laugh-this formation master is still unreliable!

Thinking of this, Xiao Mian used the spirit-seeking eyes to scan the eight forks one by one.

Suddenly, Xiao Mian fixed his eyes and found that there was an unusual fork in the road.

With the mentality of trying everything possible, Xiao Mian raised his foot and entered it - but just as he stepped in, the ghost head screamed.

Before Xiao Mian could come to his senses, his body had been pulled into the fork by the power of the formation.

The ghost head's scream stopped abruptly, and he was speechless, feeling annoyed and self-blaming. Finally, the little ghost baby gritted his teeth and stomped his feet.

Resolutely, the ghost head followed Xiao Mian's footsteps.

On the other side of the fork, Xiao Mian and the ghost head stared at each other.

"You always say: This is a 'dead' road?"

"Yes! It's deader than dead!"

"Hey! Knowing it's a dead end, why didn't you say it earlier?"

"Didn't I just see it? Who made you so anxious? You're not a ghost, so why are you in a hurry to reincarnate?"

"......, what should we do now?"

"What should we do? Then we can only go all the way!"

Having said that, Guitou explained the formation information he knew to Xiao Mian, so that he wouldn't be careless and make mistakes.

Through Guitou's analysis, he guessed that this formation was indeed an eighth-level top-grade trapping formation, named - Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation!

The corridor where Xiao Mian was last time was one of the portals.

In other words, people like Fu Xigui must be in their own corridors.

After Guitou's analysis and differentiation, a variation of the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation was triggered, and then the eight forks appeared.

These eight forks are named: Rest, Life, Injury, Du, Scenery, Death, Shock, and Open!

If Xiao Mian could enter the Life Gate, he could rest easy. If he could enter the Open Gate and the Scenery Gate, he could see the light. Even if he entered other gates such as Rest, Injury, and Shock, he would be safe. But Xiao Mian entered the Death Gate!

"This Eight-Gate Golden Lock Formation has eight layers of gates, a total of 8864 hexagrams. Now we have taken a wrong step. Although it is more dangerous than good, there is still a glimmer of hope!"

Gui Tou's explanation made Xiao Mian feel relieved.

It turned out that this eight-door golden lock formation was a famous trap formation in the cultivation world.

The trap formation follows the virtue of heaven's love for life, and focuses on trapping the enemy rather than killing.

For example, in the first wave of eight-layer portals, if Xiao Mian could choose the life gate, then in the second wave of eight-layer portals, there would be seven life gates and one death gate.

If he could choose the life gate again, the third wave of eight-layer portals would be the same.

In this way, after eight waves of eight-layer portals, Xiao Mian could escape.

In the previous eight-layer portal, Xiao Mian chose the death gate. In this way, in the second wave of eight-layer portals, there would be as many as seven death gates.

Only one gate is the life gate!

This is also the reason why Gui Tou said "a ray of hope".

Under Gui Tou's guidance, Xiao Mian soon encountered another eight-layer portal.

This time, Xiao Mian dared not act on his own.

After Guitou inspected the eight gates one by one, he pointed to a gate and nodded to Xiao Mian.

After receiving the instruction, Xiao Mian stepped into the gate with courage.

After that, he repeated the process again and again. Every time he stepped into a gate, Xiao Mian stopped moving forward until Guitou locked onto the gate of life mixed in the seven gates of death. Then Xiao Mian stepped into it, but as time went on, Guitou's calculation speed became slower and slower.

Obviously, the further he went, the more difficult it was to calculate. It became more and more difficult to find the only gate of life hidden in the seven gates of death...

Finally, in front of the eighth wave of eight-layer gates, Guitou sighed.

"Call it out!"

After saying this, Guitou stopped talking.

Looking at the rather lonely Guitou, Xiao Mian did not dare to provoke him again - the "it" that Guitou called was naturally the black cloth!

In front of the eighth wave of eight-layer gates, Guitou had to retreat.

After getting Guitou's promise, Xiao Mian summoned Hei Bu. Although he had long seen that Guitou was a little reluctant, Guitou and Hei Bu had always been a pair of mortal enemies. If Xiao Mian summoned Hei Bu without Guitou's consent, it would definitely hurt Guitou.

Black light lingered, and Hei Bu appeared.

After appearing, Hei Bu did nothing, just flew around Xiao Mian.

Finally, he pretended to be weak and fell into Xiao Mian's arms. No matter how Xiao Mian summoned, he refused to look up easily.

"Hu... Dinner is ready!"

Xiao Mian shouted at the top of his voice.

Hei Bu's whole body was alert, and with a swish, he flew out of Xiao Mian's arms.

Looking around, Hei Bu was about to strike, but Xiao Mian had already thrown out a large piece of red crystal from the storage bag - since he knew that Hei Bu was lazy, Xiao Mian had already prepared it. This piece of Feiyun Fire Crystal was a snack for Hei Bu.

The edge of the black cloth trembled slightly, and it grew bigger, and fluttered onto the piece of Feiyun Fire Crystal.

In almost the blink of an eye, the valuable Feiyun Fire Crystal disappeared in front of Xiao Mian, and it was obviously eaten by the black cloth.

This glutton's eating appearance is too ugly!

Although he had something to ask of the black cloth, Xiao Mian couldn't help but complain in his heart.

Fortunately, the black cloth was much more reliable than the ghost head. After eating the huge Feiyun Fire Crystal, the black cloth swam around in front of the eight-layered portal with a big belly.

Suddenly, the black cloth paused and stopped in front of a portal.

"Ghost Master! Look..."

"..., this rag! Although its quality is really not very good, its attainments in the art of formation are indeed better than mine! I also suspected that this one was the gate of life before, but I was not sure. Now that it has chosen this, it must be right!"

The ghost head said this frankly.

At that moment, Xiao Mian put away the black cloth, called back the ghost head, and walked into one of the last eight-layer portals with his head held high.

If this was a life gate, Xiao Mian could leave the restraint of the Eight-Gate Golden Lock Array and appear in a relatively safe array space.

If this was a death gate, Xiao Mian would instantly bear the array power carried by the entire array space of the Eight-Gate Golden Lock Array.

Although the Eight-Gate Golden Lock Array is not aimed at killing, it is an eighth-level top-grade array after all. The spirit stones that drive the array disk of the Eight-Gate Golden Lock Array are all top-grade spirit stones without exception.

The powerful spiritual energy contained in these top-grade spirit stones will gather in one place.

Let alone a Jindan cultivator like Xiao Mian, even an ordinary Yuanying initial stage ancestor would have to be careful when facing the runaway Eight-Gate Golden Lock Array.

Of course, Xiao Mian didn't think so much at this time.

Anyway, with his own ability, he took the wrong first step. Since this portal was chosen by the ghost head and the black cloth together, Xiao Mian listened and believed it.

With one step forward, Xiao Mian's figure disappeared.

The next moment, Xiao Mian appeared in a huge formation space...
