550 Unfortunate Words
After crossing the "Longmingtan", the road ahead is completely unknown. Since you have encountered a level 5 second-level monster, it is very likely that there will be some in the future. So even Lin Feng did not dare to be arrogant. He was very alert and his speed of travel has slowed down a lot.
After passing through a small forest without any danger, what appeared before the two of them was a relatively flat grass. The ground was covered with unknown light gray grass, which looked like dead grass, but after careful observation, they found that the weeds were full of life, but the color was quite strange.
On the other side of this grassland, there is an endless forest, and to the end of your sight, there is a towering mountain wall.
That is the "end" of the poison ivy Hou Valley, which is the middle position of the gourd-shaped poison ivy valley, the dividing point between the front valley and the back valley. Seeing it also means that Lin Feng and the others have already walked 70% of the way from the back valley.
"There doesn't seem like a monster here." Guo Chihuai looked at the grassland ahead and whispered.
The view ahead is wide, and it is unlikely that monsters and poison ivy will be hidden. So the only dangers from the ground are to be paid attention to. However, there are not many monsters living underground in the poison ivy valley, and I haven't encountered two of them along the way. Guo Chihuai secretly prayed that it would be better not to have them here, so that they could safely pass through this grassland.
"It does look very calm." Lin Feng nodded slightly, but his expression did not relax, and he pondered, "But always feel a little... too calm."
His spiritual sense radiated out. He carefully explored the grassland ahead, and tried his best to search the ground, including below the ground, but he did not find any abnormalities. He felt a little relaxed and said to Guo Chihuai: "Anyway, be careful, let's go over."
"Okay." Guo Chihuai nodded and followed Lin Feng carefully.
After walking two-thirds of the journey, no changes happened. Guo Chihuai subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he could really pass through this grass safely as he wished.
But at this moment, he suddenly found that Lin Feng, who was walking in front, stopped without warning, and turned his head and looked to the right side, with a clear look of shock in his eyes.
Guo Chihuai's heart was thrilled and he said nervously: "Elder Lin, what's wrong?"
Lin Feng stared at the ground that was empty hundreds of meters away on the right. His eyes flashed slightly, and he said three words in his mouth: "I'm in a hurry..."
"What!!" Guo Chihuai was shocked, and suddenly felt a little chilling on his back. He subconsciously raised all his true energy and made a warning posture. He was also a little confused, because although Lin Feng said "Zhongkui" and this was a very bad situation, his expression seemed to be too calm, not at all like a person who was in danger.
“Buzz…”
The next second, before Guo Chihuai had time to ask anything, he suddenly felt a violent shock under his feet, and a powerful and strange wave appeared without warning. Then he found that the air around him was twisting at this moment. When he saw that the surrounding scenery completely changed.
The grass under his feet disappeared, the woods behind him disappeared, and the jungle in front and the shadows of the mountain walls disappeared. The only thing that filled his sight was countless twisted gray fog, and even the feeling of being down-to-earth was blurred, making him unable to help but wonder if he was still standing on the ground.
"This, this is..." Guo Chihuai scattered his spiritual sense to explore, but found that he could not find anything, as if he was in an infinitely wide space of nothingness. This situation made him feel a little panicked and he couldn't help but look at Lin Feng in front of him with a look for help.
Lin Feng's face became a little gloomy and he whispered: "This is an illusion array... no, to be precise, it is an illusion killing array..."
"Oh? Sure enough, you can tell at a glance that this is a illusion killing formation."
At this time, a cold and old voice suddenly sounded. Guo Chihuai was shocked and looked in the sound. He saw hundreds of meters away on the right, which was where Lin Feng was staring before. The gray "fog" twisted, revealing the figures of five people who appeared there at some time.
"Yuan Huanjin!! Ge Zhanxiong!!" The moment he saw the two leaders among the five, Guo Chihuai subconsciously exclaimed, and at the same time he completely realized what was going on - it turned out that the ambush that had been 'worry for a long time' was finally here!
Unexpectedly, Lin Feng really made the point. These people have not revealed any traces these days. They really ran to the front in advance to set up a trap and wait for them...
But how did they know the way their two sides were marching?
At this time, it seemed as if he had heard Guo Chihuai's shock and suspicion. Lin Feng said calmly: "It's not surprising that they would set up ambush here in advance. I think they should have speculated about all the routes we might take long ago, and then set up a monitoring array near all routes before us. Then they can gradually narrow the scope of our actions, and finally completely determine a 'must-passed way', and then set up an ambush. As for those information, it must be provided by Ma Fuyun. What he knows should be more than you estimate before. Perhaps he has read all the classics in the sect that record Hougu intelligence, including those that he is not qualified to read."
"Hmph!! It's really admirable to be able to pretend to be calm and analyze at this time." After hearing Lin Feng's words, Ge Zhanxiong's eyes in the distance glanced a little surprised, and then sneered, "You only understand this now, don't you think it's too late?"
Indeed, Ma Fuyun lurked in the Danhun Sect for many years and had already secretly stole many secrets of the Danhun Sect, including all the information about the poison ivy Hougu in the sect. After obtaining this information, the Hidden Sword Sect conducted a meticulous analysis and speculation, summarizing all the routes that the people of the Danhun Sect might choose during the trip to Hougu, and then handed them to Yuan Huanjin who came first. After Yuan Huanjin entered the valley, he left Lin Feng and the others first, but did not start treasure hunting. Instead, he set up a monitoring array on all the routes that Lin Feng and the others might pass through as quickly as possible. When he confirmed the direction Lin Feng and the others initially took, he continued to monitor according to several possible subsequent branch routes in that direction, finally determined the current necessary path, and set up an ambush here.
Because Lin Feng and his friends were delaying their time in searching for treasures along the way, Yuan Huanjin was always one step faster than them. After Ge Zhanxiong and the others came in, they quickly bypassed Lin Feng and Guo Chihuai and met with Yuan Huanjin.
The surveillance formations set up by Yuan Huanjin are often monitored far away from the target route, so even though Lin Feng has always been very careful, he has never discovered those surveillance formations.
...
Lin Feng didn't care about Ge Zhanxiong's ridicule. He looked up at Yuan Huanjin, and said in admiration: "This level 5 illusion killing formation is indeed cleverly arranged. Before it was launched, I didn't notice it at all. The formation you hide in is also very good. It is worthy of being an experienced level 5 formation master."
After being so "praised" by Lin Feng, Yuan Huanjin couldn't help but show a strange look, because this statement was too inconsistent with the atmosphere on the scene. He couldn't understand why the other party was so calm since he had been ambushed.
Lin Feng's ignorance made Ge Zhanxiong, who had just spoken sarcastically, get angry. Before Yuan Huanjin could speak, he shouted fiercely: "Lin Feng!! Do you think it is useful to be so pretentious now? The revenge of killing my elder Chu of the Hidden Sword Sect that day, I want you to repay it with your life in the near future!"
