”Within a circumference of five hundred kilometers, there isn't a single spot that was emitting a dense medicinal fragrance. From what I see, this so-called Cloud Mountain doesn't even exist here, if not I would have been able to smell the aroma of medicine!” Xiao Zichen looked at the gloomy her and said.
”No?” After hearing that, a sharp glint flashed past Zhuang Liandie's eyes, but she immediately said in a serious tone: ”Impossible, that Old Sheep Scroll was lucky enough to experience it once, it is too similar to the terrain of the mountain range in front of me, and Zhuang Mengyu had also found this place, it means that Cloud Mountain is here!”
”That's strange. Although it is rumoured that I, Xiao, am able to search for the incense, there is no scent that I am unable to detect from a thousand miles away. However, there is no medicinal fragrance coming from this place!” Xiao Zichen's eyes flashed a look of doubt, and he turned to look at the blurry mountain range below.
”You really can't find the Cloud Mountain?” Zhuang Liandie asked as she watched his actions, her eyebrows knitted even tighter.
”Let's take another look around. I, Xiao, will once again identify it!” However, a trace of unwillingness flashed across Xiao Zichen's face. If he was looked down upon by the other party like this, then the reputation that he built up with great difficulty would just be ruined.
”Okay, I will give you one more chance. If you are unable to find anything, bring me to find Zhuang Mengyu!” She immediately said to Xiao Zichen in a low voice, without a trace of doubt, as though she was giving him an order.
Xiao Zichen no longer spoke. In the darkness, he simply closed his eyes and once again, used the drug searching that was thousands of kilometers away from him to search for incense and carefully distinguish the smell in the air.
Time passed bit by bit like this.
Unknowingly, the bright moon rose into the sky and the moonlight scattered down onto the earth, reflecting the outline of the mountain range below.
The night sky was dotted with stars, weaving into a starry river. It was like a silver chain as it swept through the entire starry sky. Above the sky, a gigantic shadow constantly flew and rotated.
It lasted for several hours.
Cloud Mountain.
Within the illusion formation.
At this moment, Zhuang Mengyu was also tightly holding a Moonlight Rock in her hand, illuminating the surrounding three meters.
They were currently on top of a strange mountain peak, and they were surrounded by an endless abyss.
The two of them sat with their backs to each other on top of the only strange, slightly flat rock at the summit of the mountain.
The gentle moonlight sprinkled onto their bodies, adding a poetic and picturesque mood.
At this moment, their backs were facing each other, just like a couple.
It was already deep into the night, and the outline of the earth was indistinct. The terrain was extremely difficult to distinguish, and coupled with the unpredictable changes of the illusion array, he might as well stop and admire the night sky for a while, then sit and wait for daybreak.
To Wu Hao, with such a beautiful morning, how could he possibly be lonely by the side of a beauty?
Zhuang Mengyu looked at the deep abyss in front of her in a daze, thinking back to when Wu Hao had held her hand and moved between the mountains and rivers, the scene that swept past her eyes was like standing in time, watching the changing illusions around her, it had a huge impact to her spirit.
It was simply too shocking.
In front of her, every time she walked into an illusory magic array, a different scene would appear. If she thought about it carefully, there were at least a hundred of them.
This was the first time that she had encountered such an unpredictable magic array. At this moment, let alone the fact that she couldn't bear to leave Wu Hao, even if she could, she didn't dare to take even half a step away from him.
She was afraid that once she fell into the endless illusory magic array, she would never be able to leave.
The current her, didn't even know if the bottomless chasm in front of her was real or fake, because throughout the journey, she had seen too many lies and falsehood. If Wu Hao didn't point it out to her from time to time, she would not be able to discern whether he was real or fake.
”Second Young Master, how do you know the Dao of Formation?”
After a long time.
She finally found a topic to talk about that broke Wu Hao's state of mind while he was admiring the moon.
Previously, when he was viewing the moon and homesick for his hometown, he was starting to miss home.
”The path of formations is a very distant one!” A flash of reminiscence appeared in his eyes. Thinking back to his previous life when he was learning the art of formations, he subconsciously replied.
His voice was filled with melancholy.
