Chapter 385: Phantom Array
Although Xi Bai didn't know what was going on, he was sure now that this island was definitely not simple! And it can already be determined that there is nothing wrong with the mountain gate of Tianji Gate here!
The reason why Xi Bai is so sure is naturally the situation he is facing now, yes, he is lost, although he himself can't believe how he got lost, but the fact is that he is defeated in front of him, he is trapped in a "labyrinth", which makes him feel that he is obviously heading towards the hill, but the result is drawing a circle.
The main thing is that he didn't see the shadow of the "labyrinth" at all, there was nothing else around except trees and various plants, and even this road was carved out by himself, and to be able to do this, how could it be that a nameless island should have? Who created the Tianji Gate? That's a generation of strange people Guiguzi! And the reason why there is such a natural phantom array is naturally Guiguzi's purpose.
Yes, the situation that Xi Bai is facing now is that he is in a phantom array, which makes him feel that he is obviously moving forward, but the result is that he is drawing a circle, if Xi Bai did not have the concept of phantom array before, but Xi Bai has read "Five Elements Turn" before, although he still doesn't know much about formations or anything, but he has the basis of the Peach Blossom Island formation, as well as the introduction of various formations in the book, the concept of phantom array is still there.
Xi Bai knew that after he fell into a formation, he would no longer act rashly, he knew very well that if he continued to break through without purpose, or if he still believed in his eyes as before, he would not be able to walk to the foot of the hill even if he died.
It's just that although Xi Bai understands the truth, how should this formation be broken? Xi Bai only felt that his head was big for a while, although he said that he had learned the "Five Elements Great Turn" and knew a little bit about some formation knowledge, but even if he was a genius, he couldn't do it without a teacher! The "Five Elements Great Turn" explains some basic knowledge, and the involvement in formations is still very small, and this book is still aimed at the formations on Peach Blossom Island, not a complete set of formations.
Although the formation on Peach Blossom Island is also extraordinary, after all, even a master like Zhou Botong can be trapped, but if it is the formation that Xi Bai is facing now, it will be a big deal.
Although Xi Bai doesn't know much about the formation, he can still judge the basic level of the formation, the formation on Peach Blossom Island was created by Huang Yaoshi, the power is extraordinary, the main role is to trap people, and the foundation of the formation is those peach trees on the island. However, the traces of the formation are a bit serious, and the criss-crossing paths are the key to getting lost, and it can also be said that people can feel that they are caught in the formation.
But the formation that Xi Bai is facing now is very different, first of all, Xi Bai didn't feel any traces of the formation at all before, and there was no trace in the first place! There is nothing else on this island except for the crazy trees and bushes, how can there be a formation? And Xi Bai also chose a path forward at random before, it can be said that he didn't have any purpose, but he still got hit, and he didn't know it himself.
Based on these alone, Xi Bai can see that although the two formations are used to trap people, the power of the formations here is by no means comparable to the formations on Peach Blossom Island, and it can also be seen that Guiguzi is more than a step stronger than Huang Yaoshi in the way of formations.
And understanding this, Xi Bai is even more big, originally he still knew little about the formation on Peach Blossom Island, and he was able to enter and exit freely because he had the formation map on Peach Blossom Island, but now he is facing a formation that is more powerful than Peach Blossom Island, and he still doesn't know anything about this formation, what should he do? How can I break out?
Xi Bai thought about it for a long time, but he was still at a loss, after all, with his current knowledge of the formation, it was still too difficult for a strong person to crack this almost natural phantom array. Xi Bai took out the map given to him by the old man of Tianji, but there was no information about this phantom array on this map, except for the location of the island and the navigation route.
It's just that in the center of the island, there is a red dot, marked with the words "Tianji Valley" next to it, Xi Bai's mouth is bitter, no wonder no one knows about this Tianji Island, not to mention that this Tianji Island is not noticeable, even if someone inadvertently goes to the island and sees the situation in front of them, they will not go towards the hill, even if they are really bored, go towards the hill, if they do not have extremely high formation attainments, they will be trapped on this island, then the result is naturally self-evident.
After all, if an NPC dies, it can't be resurrected, and players generally rarely go to sea now, and there are many such islands around, and if there is no map, almost no one will come here.
This is the reason why Tianjimen is unknown, but what makes Xi Bai unacceptable is that even if outsiders are not allowed to know the location of Tianjimen Mountain Gate, there is the existence of this phantom array, it is excusable, but it doesn't have to be like this for his own people! Now even he, a disciple of the Heavenly Machine Gate, can't enter the Mountain Gate! Moreover, the old man of Tianji had not mentioned the fact that there was a phantom array on the island before, if he wanted to say that the other party didn't know, he wouldn't believe it if he killed Xi Bai! Could it be that he, the only disciple of the Tianji Sect, couldn't even enter the mountain gate of his own sect?
"Alas!"
Xi Bai let out a long sigh, but in his heart he was helpless or helpless, but after all, he was not a person who gave up easily, especially after the test of the first two ring tasks of the "Demon Contract", he had already developed his character of never giving up. Although he doesn't know how to break this formation yet, he can't just stop here and don't move, if he doesn't move, it is impossible to break out of the formation, and if he tries it, maybe he can break the formation by mistake?
Of course, this mistake is not a random break like a headless fly, you still have to have your own ideas, Xi Bai is thinking, since he is heading towards the hill, the result is drawing a circle, so if he walks with his back to the hill, what will be the result?
Anyway, Xi Bai has no other good way now, so he can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, thinking of this, Xi Bai resolutely turned around. It's just that this turn, Xi Bai's face changed greatly, because behind him, it was not the road he had just walked, but a chaotic bush!
Xi Bai was surprised inexplicably, what's going on? He looked to the left and right, and saw that the road he had driven out was on either side of his body, if this was the case, there was a hill behind him, and the road just now should indeed be the same, so isn't it the right direction to turn around and move forward?
Xi Bai was suddenly overjoyed, and hurriedly turned around again, but he was immediately stunned again, because although there was the hill in front of him, the road that opened out was also in front of him! Xi Bai opened his mouth wide and didn't close it for a long time, all this was beyond his cognition, he didn't know if there was something wrong with his eyes, or something wrong with his brain, all of this was inexplicable.
Xi Bai tried a few more times, and every time he turned around and turned his back to the hill, the road would appear on his side, and when he turned to face the hill, the road would appear in front of him again.
After trying a few times, Xi Bai had to give up, feeling that he was still thinking too simply, and it was impossible to walk in front of the hill with such a method, he shook his head, turned his back to the hill again, and chose to go back to the mountain. Xi Bai raised the Huolin Sword and slashed at the bushes in front of him, as if he wanted to vent the irritability in his heart in this way.
Xi Bai's speed was very fast, and in less than a quarter of an hour, he saw that the bushes in front of him were sparse, and he took two steps forward, and suddenly brightened, but Xi Bai's expression did not have the slightest joy, because although he walked out of the woods, what he was in front of him was not going down the mountain, but by the sea!
The waves not far away kept rushing to the beach, bringing bursts of moisture and a slightly fishy sea breeze, but it couldn't blow the irritability in Xi Bai's heart, Xi Bai turned around and looked, the hill was still in the center of the island not far away, and a path he had just walked extended into the woods and disappeared into the obscurations of the trees.
Xi Bai suddenly looked at him fiercely, gritted his teeth, and resolutely entered the woods again, walking the way he just came out, and as long as he walked to the position just now, it should be a "Ding" character, and he decided not to look at the hill this time, but to continue to walk along this road, so that he could always walk in front of the hill.
Xi Bai thought like this, and soon he reached the intersection of the two roads, and this time he didn't look up, but raised the Huolin Sword and slashed at the bushes in front of him. I saw that the red light kept flashing, and the branches and leaves flew sideways, and Xi Bai walked all the way, and the speed was even faster than when he advanced the first time, but in this way, the internal force and physical strength consumed were also more.
Xi Bai chopped for half an hour, there were still bushes and weeds in front of him, but his heart gradually sank, according to his speed, if the direction was correct, he should have reached the foot of the hill long ago, and now since he is still in the woods, it can only mean that he is lost again.
Although he knew that he was probably going wrong, Xi Bai did not stop, and after another quarter of an hour or so, the Huolin Sword in Xi Bai's hand was empty, and the bushes in front of him disappeared.
"Damn!"
Xi Bai couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, and the Huolin Sword threw it hard at the ground, the soil in the woods was not soft, but the sword body of the Huolin Sword still sank more than two-thirds, which showed the power of Xi Bai's throw.
And after Xi Bai threw out the Huolin Sword, he seemed to be about to use up the last trace of strength, holding his knees with both hands, panting heavily, he had already consumed too much physical strength, and he had just supported it all in one breath, but now that this breath was loosened, Xi Bai naturally felt exhausted.
