On the top of the mountain, a cold wind howled past.
Everyone was sitting or standing, talking solemnly.
Treasure hunters from other teams also put aside their past grievances and joined in groups.
At this moment, all the intrigues, fights and fights in the past seem insignificant.
Everyone was racking their brains, thinking about how to save their lives and get out of trouble in such a near-desperate place.
Someone had a hint of hope in their eyes and whispered:
"Why don't we wait until daybreak? Maybe the fog will dissipate on its own. By then the view will be wider and we can see the way out of the mountain."
Some people immediately shook their heads and retorted, worriedly saying:
"This fog is very evil. How can it dissipate so easily? We may not even be able to wait until dawn."
Others rummaged through their backpacks and found Signal Flare or Wireless Device, trying to send out a distress signal in the hope that an outside rescue team would send a plane to pick them up.
Everyone said something to each other and expressed their opinions, but none of them had much confidence.
Fang Cheng, Lin Chuqiao and others also gathered in a group and communicated in private.
"Based on the current situation, we should not be trapped by a simple Formation, but in a special space that connects reality and consciousness, which is the so-called "Inner World"."
Through Mental Link, the professor's somewhat thoughtful voice sounded in the minds of Fang Cheng and others.
"Inner World? What is this?"
Big Hammer and Lark couldn't help but widen their eyes when they heard this. It was obviously the first time they heard this new and unfamiliar vocabulary.
"Inner World, is a supernatural dimension parallel to reality, corresponding to the Outer World we live in."
The professor patiently explained:
"In this mysterious space, there will often be some kind of strange creatures that have long been extinct in Real World and cannot exist at all, or some supernatural phenomena that go against common sense."
"To put it simply, if Outer World shows the appearance of the world that people can perceive with their shallow consciousness, then Inner World is the hidden dark corner mapped by the deep consciousness."
"You have all heard the folklore about Divine Disappearance. Those ghost stories about children who got lost for no reason and were abducted by Mountain Goblin. Most of them accidentally entered Inner World."
Lark blinked his eyes after hearing the explanation, and couldn't help but asked curiously:
"Professor, according to what you said, the Ghost Wall we met before was accidentally involved in the mysterious Inner World process? No wonder everything around me felt so familiar at the time, but I couldn't get out no matter how hard I walked. This is too weird."
"Yes, Inner World does have many strange things."
The professor responded softly and then said:
"When we fall into it, the spatial dimension has quietly changed, but our senses are still limited to familiar appearances, so we have the illusion that the target location is obviously very close, but we can never reach it."
"This is exactly in line with the characteristics of Inner World. It can overlap real scenes with the supernatural realm without us noticing, plunging us into chaos."
"But..."
At this point, the professor paused for a moment, revealing some thoughts:
"The existence of Inner World cannot be directly perceived by our five senses alone. We must use special means such as Meditation and dreams to have some contact with it."
"If you deliberately look for it and actually step into it with your body, it is a very slim thing. It is probably about the same as the chance of winning a lottery ticket."
"Ah, then we won the jackpot?!"
Big Hammer opened his mouth slightly and said something with a look of astonishment on his face, obviously feeling that he was extremely unlucky.
"In a sense, you can say that."
The professor sighed slightly when he heard this, as if he was yearning for it:
"In ancient times, the world was filled with powerful supernatural forces. Under the miraculous effects of millions of years, Inner World created many parallel dimensions."
"These places are the Cave Heaven and Blessed Land mentioned repeatedly in the Taoism books. Legend has it that there are endless mysteries and opportunities hidden in them. However, as the years go by, most of them are hidden in the long river of history and are rarely known."
"Today, there are very few special spaces like this left. Even if they are lucky enough to remain, they are basically occupied by various Prominent Familys."
"Obviously, Mist Mountain still has supernatural power left. Lu Family must have used a mysterious Formation for some ulterior purpose to open this place Inner World and trap all of us inside..."
When everyone heard this, their hearts tightened.
The professor's voice continued:
"From the perspective of Essence, Inheritance Secret Realm of the Noble Clan is actually Inner World that has tended to be stable. However, the current situation of Mist Mountain is so violently turbulent that it is completely unconventional."
"Is it possible that Lu Family has mastered some unique means and is preparing to open a second Inheritance Secret Realm..."
His tone was full of doubts, and he pondered for a long time before sighing helplessly:
"No matter what, since Lu Family went to such great lengths to use Golden Benba Vase as bait to trap us here, it may not be easy to find a way out."
Lin Chuqiao Liu frowned slightly, then took over the words and expressed his own opinions:
"If you want to enter and exit Inheritance Secret Realm safely, you usually need to be guided by someone directly connected to Blood Vessels from the Noble Clan. We now have two methods. One is to find Person in Charge in the Lu Family Manor and force him to lead the way for us."
"But this method is extremely risky. We are trapped on the mountain right now. There are only two people in the manor, the professor and Crow. Moreover, the strength of the person in charge of the Lu family must be unfathomable. If we are not careful, we will fall into an even more dangerous situation."
"The second is to try to find the connection point between Golden Benba Vase and space energy fluctuations. Starting from here, we might be able to discover the flaw in the Lu Family's arrangement of Formation and crack the exit of Inner World."
"After all, since Lu Family used Golden Benba Vase as bait to lure us into the situation, it cannot be unconnected with changes in the surrounding environment."
There was silence for a moment from the professor's side, and then the voice came:
"Xiao Chu, I understand your thinking. Using Golden Benba Vase to crack Formation is indeed a method worth trying."
"But it is now high in the air, surrounded by Black Mist below. How can we get close to it and control it? This is the problem."
After a pause, the professor gave a rare wry smile and added emphatically:
"Unless one of us can fly."
These words were like a basin of cold water, extinguishing the glimmer of hope that had just been ignited by everyone.
"Hey, if I could fly, I would have smashed it down with a hammer..."
Big Hammer scratched his head and muttered helplessly.
This matter is obviously unrealistic.
Not to mention people like them, I am afraid that among all the Xia Country Noble Clans, there are not even a few masters with Midair Flight abilities.
For a moment, everyone fell into silence, with only the sound of the wind whistling in their ears.
Fang Cheng stood on the edge of the mountain, the cold wind was like a knife, and the cuts hurt.
He was completely unaware, his eyes fixed on the Golden Benba Vase hanging high in the air, emitting a mysterious light.
The light flashed regularly, and the surging Black Mist around it seemed to be guided by it, showing some kind of indescribable rhythm, forming a vortex-like black Sea of Clouds.
Fang Cheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and as he continued to observe through Eagle Eye Vision, the idea in his heart became stronger.
The strange changes in Golden Benba Vase and Mist Mountain are inextricably linked, and are very likely to be the key to solving the current predicament.
While everyone was thinking hard about Meditation, an exclamation suddenly came from Consciousness Channel:
"No, there's a fight inside Estate!"
The speaker is Li Dingjian who was as deliberately silent as Fang Cheng before.
Fang Cheng felt his heart tighten when he heard this, and immediately asked through Mental Link:
"What happened? Who did it?"
"I... I can't see clearly either..."
Li Dingjian seemed to be running with the professor to avoid the aftermath of the battle, describing intermittently:
"I heard a bang, and then I saw a person wearing Thin Old Man in Black Robe, and another Lama-Dressed Man, crashing through the wall of a nearby building and jumping out."
"They were fighting like crazy, and the momentum was very scary. The old man could summon a large clump of branches Vines, and whip it at Lama. The Lama was even more ferocious, and his whole body seemed to be on fire, and he kept emitting light to bombard the opponent."
"With such skill, many trees and buildings in Estate have been damaged by rice seedlings, and they have damaged them beyond recognition..."
Li Dingjian's voice was somewhat panicked and shocked, like a war reporter, relaying the scene through Mental Link.
Then, the professor added calmly:
"The old man wearing Black Robe should be the person in charge of the Lu Family. As for that Lama, I recognize it, it is Revered One Roger of Spirit Spring Temple."
"These two are both respectable people. If they are fighting at this time, there must be something hidden, which may be beneficial to us..."
On the top of the mountain, Fang Cheng and Lin Chuqiao quickly looked at each other, with surprise and confusion in each other's eyes.
At this moment, the professor relied on his keen hearing to capture the key information, and then said:
"Wait a minute, I think I heard them mention Golden Benba Vase."
As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately became energetic and hurriedly held their breath to listen to the noise coming from Estate.
At the same time, the battle in the Lu Family Manor has entered a fierce stage.
Lu Shihua danced with his hands and muttered words, and those Vines sprouted from all directions like bamboo shoots.
Then it was like a python, twisting and twisting crazily, twisting towards Roger with its claws and teeth.
Not to be outdone, Roger shouted loudly, and the figure of Demon God Phantom behind him became more and more clearly identifiable.
Three Heads and Six Arms each cast Ritual Tool, some resisted Vines coming like a python, and some emitted black and red light.
Wherever he went, bricks and stones were shattered and smoke filled the air.
Just listen to Lu Shihua roar like thunder and rage:
"Roger, don't even think about getting your hands on Golden Benba Vase. This is the lifeline for me, Lu Family, to regain my glory. I think you might as well just stay and become the nourishment for Lu Clan Ancestral Spirit!"
As he spoke, he waved his hands, and a thick Vines appeared out of thin air and whipped it suddenly.
Accompanied by crackling explosions, deep ravines were left on the ground.
Roger's figure kept flashing rapidly, and a burst of wild and wanton laughter came from his mouth:
"Haha, you secretly learned Formation from me, Black Sect, just to wait for this day, right?"
"Now that Sacred Object is born, it should be returned to its original owner. What qualifications do you have to monopolize it? I will go and get Golden Benba Vase now. How can you stop me?"
His words were full of sarcasm and joking, as if he was deliberately irritating Lu Shihua. He flexibly blocked left and right while sprinting towards the center of Estate.
Lu Shihua's face was gloomy, obviously he was hit hard by Roger's words.
Instantly summoning more Vines thorns with barbs, like a surging green wave, sweeping towards Roger, seeming to completely submerge it, thereby blocking his footsteps.
"What a move Tree Sea Technique, but it's a pity that I'm no longer the little Lama you were back then!"
Roger Seeing this, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he stood up calmly.
Behind him, Demon God Phantom opened his eyes angrily, and the Ritual Tool in his six hands suddenly "buzzed" in unison.
A flash of fire flashed, and raging flames instantly spurted out from Ritual Tool and swept towards Lu Shihua. Wherever it went, Vines was instantly ignited and blown up, turning into piles of ashes floating in the air.
The two of them were chasing each other, refusing to give in to each other, and using their hands with deadly moves, which were extremely powerful.
The buildings and trees in Estate were crumbling under the impact of this powerful energy, with bricks and stones falling and branches breaking.
The strong wind roared, picking up all the dust and sand on the ground and throwing it directly into people's faces.
Such a life-and-death duel between top masters, its terrifying destructive power and majestic momentum make other guards and treasure hunters daunted.
They didn't dare to move forward, so they could only dodge in a hurry, look for those hidden bunkers, and watch from a distance, for fear of being swept away by the aftermath and ending up Bone Fragment.
On the top of the mountain, everyone couldn't help but open their eyes wide after hearing the words, looking in the direction of the Lu Family Manor.
However, those Black Mist were like a thick curtain, blocking everything so tightly that it was impossible to see clearly what was going on inside.
Even though Fang Cheng and Monkey have reconnaissance capabilities that far exceed those of ordinary people, their line of sight cannot be completely penetrated.
Everyone listened to the information from the professor and Crow, feeling anxious, but had no choice but to act as observers.
At this moment, a slight vibration came from the ground beneath his feet.
Something seems to have happened to the whole Mist Mountain Unexpected Events.
Immediately afterwards, there was a faint groaning sound, which seemed to be an ancient sigh from the depths of the earth, with a mysterious and majestic Aura.
Then, deeper in the thick fog, the shadow of a towering tree vaguely appeared.
The giant tree towered into the clouds and was about to break through the sky. The trunk was so thick that at least dozens of people needed to hug it to surround it.
The branches are like winding pythons, stretching out in all directions, forming a huge Tree Canopy, covering the world.
There are shadowy shadows in the mist, and there are countless firefly-like light spots floating and flying in the Tree Canopy, like the twinkling stars in the night sky, exuding soft light, giving people a dreamlike feeling.
Everyone looked at this scene and couldn't help but hold their breath, full of shock and amazement.
It was as if I was in a dream, forgetting the predicament in front of me.
At this time, Fang Cheng passed Mental Link and suddenly asked:
"Professor, the most effective way to crack Formation is to destroy Formation Eye, right?"
The professor thought for a moment and responded calmly:
"Generally, it is like this. The operation of Formation relies on Formation Eye as the core hub. If Formation Eye is destroyed, Formation will lose its foundation and naturally fall apart."
Then, as if he realized something, he immediately asked:
"You want to break Golden Benba Vase?"
"Yes."
Fang Cheng replied with one word simply and neatly.
When Lin Chuqiao, Lark, and Big Hammer heard this, they were all stunned and woke up from the intoxicating scene.
The professor was silent for a moment and asked the question again:
"How are you going to get close to it?"
Fang Cheng's eyes sparkled and he said word by word:
"Of course I'll fly over there."
