C94 (1/2)
Shangguan He who was standing outside looked at the trees and the small path in front of him. He still looked the same as before, but Yuwen Xi's silhouette could no longer be seen.
”Little Sister Xi Er, don't be anxious, you must have entered into a formation and set up a formation on the mountain, which is why we were unable to see each other. Recall your previous route and see if you can exit this place. Shangguan He said to Yuwen Xi who was inside the array.
Yuwen Xi was startled when she heard the word array. Is this array a hallucination? She carefully looked at her surroundings and realized that it was no longer the same as the place she was previously at. Although the difference was small, she still noticed that the height of the trees were different.
She had actually barged into the array by accident?
She carefully thought about the route she took just now to see if she could exit, but she couldn't even after trying a few times. How did she get in the wrong place just now?
”Shangguan He, I can't get out. Do you want to try walking in?” Yuwen Xi shouted to Shangguan He, but the two were actually very close, thus when Yuwen Xi shouted, he scared Shangguan He, causing him to only feel pain in her ears.
But he was happy, he could determine where Yuwen Xi was standing, it was just that there was no way he could see him.
He did not know how Yuwen Xi walked in just now, and could only casually walk in and try it out, but there was no other way, he could not enter. He walked around and was still in this place, and had no way of entering the space where Yuwen Xi was.
The person who laid this formation was definitely not simple. What was his purpose for setting up a formation on a mountain like this?
”Xi Er, are you afraid?” Shangguan He was worried about Yuwen Xi, but he had no choice, he did not study formations, because arrays were relatively rare. There were very few people with Dongming that could set up arrays, and very few that could have such a level of attainment.
”I'm not afraid, let's think of a way together. I'll walk around here and have a look, and maybe I'll have a breakthrough. If it's dark and I still haven't come out, you can go back first. I should be fine here.” Shangguan He couldn't come in, so he waited outside.
Hearing her words, Shangguan He said angrily: ”How can I go back first? Stop talking nonsense and let's quickly think of something. You won't be able to come out, I'll wait outside.” How could he go back by himself at a time like this, especially when it was dark. No matter how strong Yuwen Xi was, she was still a girl, so she would definitely be afraid.
A man can be afraid at night on a mountain like this.
Yuwen Xi felt at ease listening to Shangguan He's voice. Shangguan He would always move her, she was slowly walking in the array, looking for an exit. She could enter by accident, and should be able to exit by accident as well.
While walking, she suddenly found a cave. She stood at the entrance of the cave, hesitating about whether to go in or not. It seemed like there was nowhere else to go. She should go in and take a look.
Entering the cave, she found that it was simply a different world. Entering the cave, there was still a door. The door was not locked, so she gently pushed it in. It was as if she had built a house inside the cave.
There were tables, chairs, and even frescoes. The deeper she went, the more Yuwen Xi became apprehensive, as if she had accidentally entered another space, and the space did not overlap all of a sudden. When this period of time passed, the space between the two would become further and further away, and at that time, she would not be able to return.
As she thought about it, she recalled Shangguan He's words. Shangguan He said that this was an array formation, and it should have nothing to do with other spaces. She must have been overthinking it, don't panic, she wouldn't just lose herself in an unfamiliar space like this.
Although teleportation was already very strange, she believed that for her, this was the end of the weird-looking road, there was nothing more bizarre than this.
If she walked any deeper, she would feel a chill, as if cold air was seeping out from within. Judging from the current weather, it was impossible for it to be this cold. When she walked into the cave, she thought that the temperature was the same as before she entered the array.
It couldn't be a road to something, could it?
She could no longer control her own thoughts, and her brain was fully opened.
The further she went, the colder it became. She wanted to retreat, to withdraw, but she had already walked this far. If she did not go forward to see what was going on, she would be unwilling and unable to force herself to recover. She encouraged herself a few times before mustering up the courage to walk back in.
Another door.
She reached out to push it, but she immediately retracted her hand when she touched the door. It was as if she touched ice. She had no choice but to use her feet to open the door.
This door was a little too heavy, it was much heavier than the previous one. Yuwen Xi had to use a lot of effort to push open the door, immediately causing a burst of cold air to blow across her face, causing Yuwen Xi to feel like she was unable to open her eyes, her entire body trembling. It was so cold, when she looked inside, she discovered that there were a lot of large chunks of ice inside.
A coffin? Yuwen Xi trembled again. It couldn't be a Ice Coffin, right? Damn, was she messing with the rhythm of the ancient tomb? Would she be able to make it now?
