"Don't look back, just go backwards like this..."
Accompanied by Miao Cheng's voice again, the butcher's sword in Su Anran's hand has been cut off.
Splashes of blood sprayed out.
Miao Cheng in front of Su Anran was directly beheaded by his sword.
A blood-red long scar like a silk thread fell from Miaocheng's Tianling Gai to his crotch, and then with a stunned expression, he split into two pieces and fell to the left and right.
Blood and viscera instantly spilled all over the ground like toppled building blocks.
Su Anran also had a look of astonishment on his face.
"It's not... fake?"
Astonishment turns to bewilderment, bewilderment reveals fear, and fear reveals remorse.
Various emotions appeared on Su Anran's face at this moment.
But at this moment, behind Su Anran suddenly appeared a figure completely condensed by white mist.
This figure was like a ghost, and suddenly fell behind Su Anran.
Ordinary people, faced with the sound of airflow suddenly sounding behind them, would definitely look back - this is a subconscious reaction of physiological conditions.Even Su Anran also had this kind of thought at this time, but he always kept in mind that no matter what happens, he must never turn back, so he forcibly resisted the urge to turn back.
With only the exaggerated butcher's giant sword in his hand, he shot it horizontally behind him.
Although his mood at this time was messy, his vigilance did not relax in the slightest.
The fog was blown away.
From the feedback of the butcher's attack, Su Anran could feel that the butcher seemed to hit something, but he didn't have the feeling of hitting something.
This reaction made Su Anran forcefully suppress all kinds of messy emotions in her heart.
He had an intuition in the dark that he might have triggered the second-stage mechanism of the phantom formation of the psychedelic forest.
Su Anran frowned slightly.
I quickly recalled the whole process of the whole thing in my mind.
He didn't know much about formations, that is, during the time when the elder sister was protecting him, he heard her mention a few words.
In the entire Taiyi Sect, the eighth senior sister is the most proficient in this aspect.
It was said before that it was because the eighth senior sister had explained some basic principles of the formation to other people in the division, in order to prevent someone from the division from accidentally falling into the formation, and to know some basic emergency measures.Therefore, Fang Qianwen, the elder sister, also popularized some basic common sense for Su Anran during that time.
The core of the phantom array is to deceive perception.
However, phantom formations usually do not exist as a single formation, but cooperate with other formations.
For example, combined with the trapping formation, it can trap the opponent in the formation to a greater extent.
And if it is combined with the killing array, it will greatly increase the threat of the killing array.
The meaning of the phantom array is more like some kind of stimulating condiment, which will greatly increase the power of other arrays.
Su Anran remembers that in the basic knowledge taught by the elder sister, it is impossible for a phantom formation that is less than the top level to exist as an independent formation.
And as the mirage who is best at illusion, the natural secret place where the corpse turns into after death, is it possible that the phantom formation that exists here is a low-level phantom formation?Even if there are no monks presiding over these formations, there is only an instinct-like reaction left to operate and maintain...
"Instinct..." Su Anran's eyes suddenly lit up, "The essence of the phantom sea is phantom formations, and the operation and triggering of these phantom formations is just an instinct..."
After thoroughly opening her mind, Su Anran quickly noticed details that she hadn't noticed before.
"When it was foggy before, I lost my mind for a moment. If that was the trigger mechanism for me accidentally falling into the formation, then..." Su Anran's gaze could not help falling on the wonderful corpse on the ground, "The thing that was trying to attack me just now came from the moment when I was shocked after seeing Miao Cheng's death."
After realizing this, Su Anran quickly calmed down.
At this moment, he felt that the various senses of crisis that were pervading around him seemed to disappear without a trace in an instant.
But Su Anran didn't relax because of this, he still clenched the butcher's sword hilt tightly.
The first time I came into contact with the formation, it was directly the phantom formation known as the highest among the formation nobles, and Su Anran expressed that she was very tired.
only……
He still couldn't believe that Miao Cheng died like this, which didn't fit Su Anran's understanding of him at all.
and many more!
What about the corpse?
Why is Miaocheng's body missing?
Su Anran blinked, and he realized that he accidentally lost his mind again just now.
But exactly how he lost his mind, he didn't figure it out at all.
The only thing that can be confirmed is that the surrounding fog suddenly dissipated, and then he returned to the lifeless path of no return again.
But compared to the beginning, no matter Miao Cheng, Miao Yan, Miao Ying, or even Shen De and Shen Yue, they are no longer by my side.
Su Anran couldn't be sure what happened during the few minutes when he disappeared.In the current situation, Su Anran is not even sure whether the Miao Cheng he killed just now is a real person.But at least he has realized that the development of the matter has been completely out of their control, even completely beyond Miao Cheng's prediction.
Su Anran stubbornly resisted the urge to turn his head to check the surrounding situation - he found that on this path of no return, this urge would pop up almost anytime and anywhere, as if someone was constantly behind him Same as calling him.If you don't pay attention, you may ignore the danger and accidentally turn your head to look behind you.
I am afraid that the path of no return is not just a way to walk safely without looking back.
"what--"
A sudden scream interrupted Su Anran's thoughts.
He saw, not far in front of him, suddenly a large amount of dense fog filled the air.
These fogs seem to have their own consciousness.
Su Anran didn't dare to rush forward, but just stood guard on the spot.
After waiting for a few seconds, the thick mist began to disperse.
But at this moment, Su Anran seemed to see a figure struggling and tearing frantically in the mist.He couldn't see the other party's appearance, but from the other party's body movements, Su Anran judged that the other party's heart must be very crazy and desperate at the moment, and even had a strong sense of unwillingness.
Su Anran glanced at the other party's clothes from a distance, and after finding out that it was not the monk's clothes of the Great Sun Tathagata Sect, Su Anran couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Then he stepped forward quickly, slowed down when he came to the corpse, and looked at the corpse carefully.
There were not many doubts and problems that Su Anran could find. After all, he didn't dare to squat down to check, because if he wanted to check the corpse, he would have to check the surrounding situation, and such an action might make him accidentally turn around.
The body was that of a male, young, about 20 years old.
But his body has become very stiff, and it seems that the time of death may exceed 24 hours.
However, Su Anran's eyes were more on the other person's face.
The face of this corpse was full of fear, as if he had seen something horrifying before he died.
"I can't turn back, because I will see great terror?"
Walking slowly past the corpse, Su Anran didn't stop at all, but his brows were tightly frowned: "The phantom formation in the psychedelic forest is deduced and changed according to the inner fear of the monks caught in the formation. Wandering mind is The premise of triggering the formation, the change of mood will trigger subsequent continuous reactions, and once you accidentally turn your head, you will see great horror... But what happened to the spirit just now? This big formation will also restrain the soul?"
"No, it's not the formation in the Phantom Forest." Su Anran raised her eyes and looked into the distance, "It's the Divine Sea of Illusions. This secret realm will imprison the souls of all monks who die here. Then... this And why?"
Chapter 033 The most afraid of the air suddenly quiet
The lush forests cover the sky and the sun, blocking out all the scenery.
Dimness and silence have almost become the only color of the psychedelic forest.
Coupled with the constant threat of life and death, no matter who walks on this path of no return, they will only feel physically and mentally exhausted.
Su Anran didn't know if monks with higher cultivation levels would encounter stronger resistance when walking on this path of no return.
He only knew that when he saw the sunlight falling from the exit of the psychedelic forest ahead, he was very excited and excited.
But his mind still did not relax.
Numerous stories told him that villains always die because of talking too much, and survivors in horror stories often die because of the last negligence of their minds.
Su Anran doesn't want to be a member of negative textbooks.
Not long after, Su Anran really came out of this psychedelic forest.
The Path of No Return came to an abrupt end at the end of the psychedelic forest, in the sunlit earth.
Out of the psychedelic forest, a vast wilderness greets the eyes.
Su Anran blinked, looking at the emerald green world in front of her with a shocked face.
It is different from the oppression, darkness, dead silence of the psychedelic forest, and the corrupt atmosphere that permeates everywhere.
What is shown in this wilderness is a fresh breath of life.
The air is fresh, and under the sunshine and the breeze, the whole person has a sense of vitality and positivity.Especially the endless view brought by the vast field of vision makes people feel cheered in the heart - the mental exhaustion and psychological pressure when coming out of the psychedelic forest, when suddenly seeing such a sunny area, it is like The dusty mirror surface was scrubbed clean.
Bright and clean.
Even though Su Anran kept reminding himself that the essence of the emerald green world he saw before him was still the result of the distortion and deception of monks by the natural phantom array of the sea of phantoms, but he still couldn't restrain his inner amazement. .
This is the world of practitioners.
Bizarre.
Full of danger and opportunity.
Su Anran turned around and looked at the way she came.
Through the slightly sparse trees, you can clearly see the coastline of the island.
It was an enchanting sight.
Sunlight shines on the ground through the gaps in the leaves of the psychedelic forest, forming mottled halos one by one, and golden beams of light can even be seen in some places.On the porcelain-white coastline, there is a wave-like blue mist slowly flowing out, like the waves at low tide.
Tranquil and peaceful.
Standing in the wilderness, it takes at most ten minutes to go through the psychedelic forest.
However, Su Anran, who had personal experience, knew very well that he had to walk for at least ten hours on the path of no return in the psychedelic forest.However, because of the distorted and blinded perception, Su Anran is not sure whether it is this time, but at least he can be sure that wanting to cross the psychedelic forest is by no means as simple as it seems on the surface.
Sighing lightly, Su Anran placed the butcher on the ground, and then sat down.
The spirit has been tense for more than ten hours, even if it is a monk, it is impossible for him to be in a better state at this time.
So Su Anran planned to rely on meditation to restore her spirit first, and wait to see if anyone else came out.
He still can't believe that Miao Cheng is really dead.
Because that young man, whose identity he didn't know, had a very obvious vision in Path of No Return when he died.So Su Anran felt that if Miao Cheng was really killed by herself, then at least there would be a corpse left behind, so that she wouldn't disappear with the thick fog.
As for why she was able to kill Miao Cheng, Su Anran had no doubts at all.
Because from the moment he felt his spiritual consciousness being suppressed, he had already fully understood the true most dangerous place on the island, the Illusory Sea of God.
A monk in the Divine Sea Realm mainly focuses on cultivating divine consciousness.
For monks in the first level of Shenhai, their spiritual consciousness can only cover within a radius of three meters.The monks of the second heaven of Shenhai can have a radius of up to eight meters. Daoist disciples who mainly practice magic arts generally have this level of cultivation before they can be considered to have mastered the most basic magic attack methods.
As for the cultivators of the third heaven of the Divine Sea, the maximum coverage of their spiritual consciousness will not exceed 15 meters.
Only at the fourth heaven of the Divine Sea will the cultivation of spiritual consciousness usher in the first qualitative change, and the coverage of spiritual consciousness can reach a radius of 30 meters.And those Daoist qi refiners who use spells as their means of attack can only be regarded as truly capable of fighting the enemy when they reach this level of cultivation, which is enough for other practitioners in the cultivation world to take it seriously.
But on this island in the Illusion God Sea, the consciousness is greatly suppressed, and even the perception is distorted and deceived, so in many cases, it is actually better to rely on the naked eye to observe and judge.This also led to the fact that if one wanted to take risks and seek opportunities on the island of the Illusory Divine Sea, it was absolutely not enough to have cultivation alone, one had to master at least one martial skill.
Of course, the minimum cultivation level of the second level of Shenhai is required because the consciousness of this realm is condensed enough, which can reduce the negative impact of perception distortion to a certain extent.Moreover, the consciousness perception with a radius of about one meter is actually not completely useless.
At least this makes sneak attacks quite difficult.
The reason why Su Anran noticed movement behind him in the psychedelic forest was because the mist that was trying to attack him entered his one-meter perception range.
Therefore, if Miaocheng was really seriously injured, he suddenly broke into Su Anran's attack range, and on the premise of mental calculation or inadvertence, he would be directly beheaded by Su Anran, which is not surprising.
However, Su Anran is still a little hard to believe.
After meditating to recover her spirits, she ate some meat afterwards. Su Anran raised her head and glanced at the sky.
Then he discovered the strangeness of the wilderness.
If it is said that the time of the psychedelic forest is fixed in the middle of the night, then the time of this wilderness is completely fixed in the morning.
The sun is just bright, not hot.
The breeze is slightly drunk, with a slight coolness.
"Perhaps, there are still seasons?" Su Anran thought.
He took a last look at the Path of No Return, but still no one came out, so he sighed and stood up, carrying the butcher on his back again.
