Volume 1 Chapter 32: Trapped in the Labyrinth of the Five-Line Sword Sect
The ground shook again. The earth cracked open many more mouths. The already desolate land had become a landscape of countless gullies and ravines. Those falling monks all fell into the cracks in the ground.
Those monks on the ground also fell into the crack in the ground after the cyan light flashed. The sudden change left everyone at a loss. When these monks wanted to fly again, they found that they couldn't fly at all.
Jiang Feng also fell into the crevice, and after a series of useless struggles, Jiang Feng heavily crashed to the bottom of the crevice. When he lay on the ground looking up, he found that this crevice was at least hundreds of meters deep. If flying is not possible, it's probably not easy to climb up either.
The blood knife that fell together was just lying not far from Jiang Feng's side. Just as he was about to ask if the Blood Knife had died, he heard Lan Wu's voice. Jiang Feng also hurriedly activated his spiritual power at this time. But at this moment, Jiang Feng couldn't feel any spiritual power within himself.
"There should be a very special formation here, sealing your cultivation. If I were to appear now, I'm afraid I would also be restricted by the formation here. At that time, I'm afraid I won't be able to return to this space where I reside. You'd better be careful." Lan Wu's voice came from beside his ear.
According to Lan Wu's words, in order to recover his cultivation, he had to break through the formation here or leave the range of the formation. Just as Jiang Feng was wondering what kind of strange formation it was, he found that the two brothers, Yue Zi and Feng, had run off somewhere. It was also at this time that Jiang Feng discovered that the place where he had fallen, looked like a winding corridor. Apart from Xue Dao and himself, there were no other people here.
"Is your cultivation still intact?" Seeing Xue Dao sitting up with a ferocious grin, Jiang Feng asked thus.
The blood knife that had been thrown away, the seven carnivores and eight vegetarians, did not understand why Jiang Feng asked this. After a slight attempt, he found that his cultivation on his body was gone without a trace.
"It's strange, my cultivation is gone. Have I entered a demonic state? No way, I haven't made any mistakes in my recent practice." Blood Knife said with a bewildered expression.
"It's possible that there is some kind of formation here, which has temporarily suppressed our cultivation. I think we should hurry up and find a way to leave this place." Jiang Feng said.
Xue Dao nodded and stood up. After looking around in all directions, he went to ask Jiang Feng, seemingly discussing which way they should go.
He looked up and gave up the idea of climbing. He casually chose a direction and walked forward with Blood Knife.
I was thinking of walking for a while, and if I saw a relatively gentle slope, I would climb up to the ground from there. If it's a dead end, I'll turn around and walk in another direction. If both sides are dead ends, then I can only find a suitable place to climb up.
Just after walking twenty or thirty meters, and turning a corner, Jiang Feng saw four roads in total. There was one road in front of him, one to his left, and two on his right side. When he saw these four roads, the first thing that occurred to Jiang Feng was that the area that wouldn't collapse must be quite large.
As they looked down the several forks in the road, Jiang Feng saw Yuezi Peak's brothers on a path to his right. At this time, both Jiang Feng and Xue Dao discovered that Yuezi Peak's brothers were actually just next door. The stone wall separating them was only about 5-6 meters thick.
Yue Zifeng also saw Jiang Feng looking around at the fork in the road, and Yue Zihai quickly walked over to this side of the intersection. At this time, Jiang Feng also noticed that on other forks in the road, there were shadows of other cultivators passing by. It seems that on other forks in the road, this fork also exists.
Four people will gather together, everyone looks at me, I look at you, and before they can speak, a miserable cry is heard, followed by the sound of objects falling to the ground.
The sound came from a fork in the road. Jiang Feng and the other three looked down that road, but didn't see anyone. In the instant they exchanged glances, they quickly walked out onto that road.
As I walked out about 40 or 50 meters, there was a fork in the road to my right. Looking over there, I saw several people lying on the ground with their flesh and blood scattered all over. At that moment, another person fell from above.
Looking upwards, I found that on one side of the stone wall, there were two monks clinging to it. Judging from their appearance, they seemed to be trying to climb up. The monk who had just fallen down was probably also trying to climb up, but he fell down instead.
At this time, the two monks who were climbing on the stone wall were no longer going up, but were rushing down extremely hastily. One of them had a fairly large wound on his shoulder, and it was unclear how he got it.
Before Jiang Feng and the others could get close to the corpses on the ground, the two monks had already landed. The injured one hastily ran towards a distant place. The other monk quickly took away two storage bags from the corpses before also hastily leaving.
"It's as if he was attacked, and should have died before hitting the ground." said Yue Zifeng after examining the body.
"Was it something they found on the stone wall that led them to fight?" Yue Zihai speculated.
Jiang Feng didn't say a word, he didn't agree with Yue Zihai's words. Now they have all lost their cultivation, and the two cultivators who just climbed up the stone wall don't seem to have any cultivation either. It is believed that the few people who died should also have lost their cultivation. However, the wounds on their bodies were clearly caused by a spell. This means it's very likely that they didn't fight each other themselves.
Just thinking if there are powerful cultivators, and the cultivation is in progress. Then heard a miserable cry, and the sound of falling to the ground came from around. Jiang Feng looked for the sound, then quickly ran towards the place where the sound came from.
Others followed Jiang Feng, continuously walking to several places, seeing several corpses. They also saw monks falling from the stone wall. They even saw that some monks were attacked suddenly after climbing to a height of 100 meters.
It was just an instant, and the cultivator died. What fell down could only be a corpse. In this way, Jiang Feng and others understood that what took the lives of these cultivators was not other cultivators, but the danger existing above the stone wall.
Through the short walk, Jiang Feng and his group discovered that this place was not just a few fissures. It seemed more like the earth had been slashed by a sharp giant sword thousands of times, forming crisscrossing cracks.
"It seems that this place has not only become a huge maze due to the collapse, but also been sealed off by some sort of formation above. Anyone who wants to climb up and leave will only find a dead end." Jiang Feng said, looking up at the sky.
Others didn't speak, but they all agreed with Jiang Feng's words in their hearts. They had just run a considerable distance. Everything they saw was roads sandwiched between stone walls. This place really seemed to have turned into a huge maze. Above their heads, it also seemed that there was no way through.
"After a while, Yue Zifeng said: 'What shall we do now?'"
"What else can we do, let's slowly find a way out. Everyone be careful too, there may still be other dangers here." Jiang Feng said.
In this case, they can only slowly find their way out. Jiang Feng and the others also don't want to be trapped to death here. They also hope that this suddenly appearing maze isn't too big, or else it would really be a dead end.
Before, Jiang Feng and the others were quite far from the small mountain where the Dan furnace appeared. Now, although they had fallen into the maze, they still roughly remembered the direction. After judging the right direction, they headed in the direction away from the small mountain. At this time, everyone also thought that the farther they were from the small mountain, the farther they would be from danger.
After passing through the forked roads, Jiang Feng and his group also encountered many cultivators. The cultivation of these cultivators was very low, they should be the first batch of cultivators to arrive here. Those with higher cultivation should be near the small hill.
Going back and forth, trying many roads, Jiang Feng and the others discovered that the idea of leaving Xiaoshan was not feasible. Because every time they went out, they would end up in a dead end.
After discussing, the four of them felt that the way out should be where the Dan furnace appeared. Although they didn't want to go on an adventure, at this time, there was no other choice either. The four of them had no choice but to head in the direction where the Dan furnace had previously appeared.
When encountering some monks on the road, everyone generally keeps a distance. In this situation where everyone has lost their cultivation, no one wants to cause trouble.
At a T-shaped intersection, Jiang Feng chose to go left. He had just turned left when the other three were following closely behind him. Who knew that Jiang Feng, who had just turned around, quickly retreated and pulled everyone else back with him.
The other three were about to ask Jiang Feng what was going on, when Jiang Feng stuck close to the stone wall and cautiously poked his head out to look towards the left side of the road. The others also carefully looked in that direction. They saw that on that road, twenty or thirty meters away, a monk was standing in the middle of the road.
When he saw that person, Xue Dao recognized him at a glance. Wasn't that the late-stage cultivator of the Gongji Sect who had robbed him and Jiang Feng of their medicine?
