Chapter 800 Going Deep Into the Tiger’s Den
Except for the chirping of birds that sounded from all directions from time to time, if he guessed correctly, these bird chirpings were imitated by humans.
Zhi Xuan's expression changed, and he suddenly moved his gaze forward. I don't know when a trace of mist appeared there, and its spread became wider and wider.
In less than two minutes, the fog filled the entire forest, suddenly blocking the sight and making it difficult to see anything.
Fei Xiaodong's mouth twitched. He had heard some rumors about the dark forest when he came here. He originally thought there would be no danger during the day, but he didn't expect to encounter it anyway.
Subconsciously hiding behind Zhi Xuan, not daring to make the slightest move. After all, no one knew if there was anything hidden in the mist.
"A maze of formations?"
Zhi Xuan snorted and walked forward step by step. Surprisingly, the fog could not block his sight.
His steps seem casual, but if you look closely, you will find that every step he takes appears to be very cautious and flawless.
call out! call out! call out!
The chirping of birds around them became more and more intensive, and there were constant sounds of piercing the air surrounding the two of them. The whole atmosphere seemed very depressing.
Fei Xiaodong was extremely alert, and a deep uneasiness surged into his heart.
At this time, Zhi Xuan suddenly said: "When Po Meng asked you to come to her, apart from giving you the magic sect technique, did you get anything else?"
After his reminder, Fei Xiaodong finally remembered, quickly took out four sticks of sandalwood from his arms, and said nervously: "There is also this."
Zhi Xuan was stunned for a moment. With Meng Po's character, she would never give away useless things. She thought for a while and said, "Split it in four directions and click on it!"
Fei Xiaodong did not dare to disobey and lit four sandalwood sticks according to his instructions.
What is surprising is that in addition to having a delicate fragrance, this sandalwood also exudes a faint flame, which is constantly floating upward.
Although the flames were small, they looked very dazzling in the mist. They shot up into the sky like four pillars of light and could be seen from far away.
Immediately afterwards, the chirping of birds gradually disappeared, and the surrounding fog quickly subsided. In less than five minutes, everything returned to its original state.
If the four sandalwood sticks were not still there, I would have thought it was a dream.
The only difference from before was that in front of them, three figures appeared at some point, wearing black robes and exuding a cold aura.
Zhi Xuan frowned slightly. The attire of these people looked like they were members of the Demon Sect. He never expected that they were actually hiding here.
In order not to attract attention, Zhi Xuan secretly changed his appearance. After all, he still wanted to find Wang Yurou's whereabouts secretly.
It's not good to be too showy at the moment.
At this time, the leading man smiled coldly: "Where did the ghost incense in your hands come from?"
"It was given to me by an old woman. She said that if you want to seek refuge with her, come here to find her." At Zhi Xuan's signal, Fei Xiaodong quickly replied.
"Mother Meng?"
A gleam flashed in the leader's eyes, "It's not impossible to join us if you want, but you have to abide by our rules when you get here."
As he spoke, his eyes suddenly looked towards Zhi Xuan, "What about you, are you here to seek refuge with us too?"
"Yes Yes."
Zhi Xuan nodded and bowed, pretending to be flattered. His expression and reaction were definitely at the level of an actor. Fei Xiaodong was stunned for a moment.
The man in black robe nodded with satisfaction, "In that case, cover your eyes and I will take you in."
At the other party's signal, the other two people came over and took out an eye mask respectively to cover the eyes of Zhi Xuan and Fei Xiaodong.
Zhi Xuan subconsciously wanted to stop him, but he held back.
Although this behavior made him feel very insecure, he had to compromise at this moment. He wanted to see what tricks the Demon Sect was playing.
In the following time, Zhi Xuan and Fei Xiaodong were led around by the three people, but they never reached the end.
Finally, Zhi Xuan couldn't help but said: "I've been walking for almost half an hour, and I'm still in the same place. If I go around at this speed, I'm afraid I won't be able to reach your place even after dark."
The leading man was slightly startled. The route he had chosen just now was so clever that most people would not notice that he was going in a circle.
How did you discover this thing?
"Okay, we'll be there soon!"
The leading man winked at the other two people and found the right path, finally reaching their destination ten minutes later.
The moment I took off the blindfold, I felt that the front suddenly opened up, buildings appeared, and many people stood around.
However, a cordon was set up around the crowd, stopping at every step and guarding at ten steps, as if to prevent some people from escaping.
Especially their cultivation levels are basically in the True Yuan realm!
While Zhi Xuan was secretly happy, he couldn't help but feel worried again. He didn't know whether entering the Demon Sect's lair like this was a blessing or a curse.
The man smiled strangely, pointed to the crowd in front and said, "These people have the same purpose as you, they all came to seek refuge with us."
"However, we will not take in everyone. We will do a test for you later to test your strength. Only those who can meet our requirements can stay."
Fei Xiaodong asked subconsciously: "What if we fail to meet the requirements?"
"Can't meet the requirements?"
The man's eyes were like poisonous snakes, and the sneer at the corner of his mouth flashed away, "Then there is no need for you to exist!"
Fei Xiaodong's mouth twitched sharply.
I originally thought I had found a good place, but I didn't expect that it was also a pit. From the moment I stepped here, my life seemed to be no longer in my hands.
In the following time, the man found four people to test everyone. The cultivation level of these four people was higher than the last, but as long as they could defeat one, they would pass the test.
Fortunately, although Fei Xiaodong's strength was not as good as before, it was not too bad. After a fierce battle, he finally defeated one person.
But when it was Zhi Xuan's turn, the situation became a little weird. When he fought against the first person, he ended up in a draw.
Second person, tie!
The third person is still a tie!
The fourth person is still tied!
On the surface, it doesn't seem like much, it's just that the two of them are equally matched, but if you put the four competitions together, it's a bit weird.
The strength of these four people is stronger than the last, but Zixuan can draw a tie no matter who he competes with. Isn't this a coincidence?
In other words, the other party has retained its strength.
The man glanced at Zhi Xuan meaningfully and directly recognized his strength, but there was a gleam in his eyes.
