Chapter 3869: Trapped formation

Through this arch, Xiao Yi and Xue Yaoyue came to another world.
They are in the mountains at this moment. Whether this is a natural formation or a man-made development, the deeper they go into it, the more confused this question becomes.
Until the appearance of a step, it verified Xiao Yi's previous guess that this place was indeed artificially constructed.
"The flat step should be a whole piece of rock, cut like this."
Xue Yaoyue took a flashlight and checked it carefully. What the eyes could see on this step was at least more than 30 meters, extending diagonally downwards, not knowing where it led to.
"It's not modern tools to cut. If you use modern tools, electricity is a big difficulty. If it is artificial, who is it?"
The steps are two meters long, forty centimeters wide, and 30 centimeters high. Even with the current mechanical conditions, building such a step requires a lot of manpower and financial resources.
To build such a step, firstly, people cannot live in it, and secondly, even for sightseeing, this kind of place is not a good choice. With doubts in their hearts, he and Xue Yaoyue walk down the steps. go with.
When Xiao Yi was halfway there, a fire suddenly lit up on the stone walls on both sides. Iron braces were inserted into the stone walls, and a lantern was hung on one end exposed outside. I don’t know what the lantern was used for. fuel.
It has been able to burn for so many years. What is even more weird is that Xiao Yi and Xue Yaoyue hadn't noticed the existence of these lanterns before, nor would they have imagined that this kind of thing left for many years would glow.
"Here...is it the place where the ancients lived?"
Xiao Yi moved quickly and quickly climbed to the top along the stone wall, holding the iron drill in one hand.
He took off one of the lanterns, let go of his hands and feet and landed steadily on the ground, Xiao Yi wanted to see what was inside.
The lantern was just ordinary kerosene, and the wick inside was burning. The strange thing was that the burning of the wick did not reduce the kerosene inside.
"Ordinary kerosene wicks, the lights did not light up when we came in earlier, so why did these lights all burn up in an instant?"
Could it be that……
Xiao Yi suddenly noticed something. He turned his head and looked behind him, only to see that the steps behind him were slowly disappearing.
"No! We triggered the mechanism and opened the formation in this place?"
"What? Formation?"
Xue Yaoyue looked back, and sure enough, there was something weird here, the steps were disappearing, and they had no turning back.
Turning around and quickly ran over, a step in front of Xiao Yi was fading away a little bit, and his eyes could see an endless abyss in front of him.
"damn it!"
Xiao Yi took out a small object from his body and threw it down. A compressed biscuit fell into it. Xiao Yi stretched out his hand and squeezed his thigh, a pain came from his thigh.
"what the is it?"
With an ominous premonition, Xiao Yi returned to Xue Yaoyue. He took out the positioning device on his body, and there was no signal.
Even this kind of signal-enhancing electronic equipment has lost its effect. What can come in handy at this time is the most traditional and simple way, an old-fashioned compass.
Holding the compass in his hand, looking at the pointer in the middle, it was spinning around in a continuous circle, not even knowing the distinction between the south, east, and the north. It was the first time that Xiao Yi had encountered such a strange thing.
"It seems that this place is indeed very strange. We can only move forward and there is no way out."
"Xiao Yi, we won't be trapped here, right?"
"will not!"
Xiao Yi believed in himself. When he said this, he had no confidence in his heart. Now he can only take one step at a time, and he doesn't believe that this kind of place can trap him.
Continue down the steps, while Xiao Yi and Master are communicating, letting Master come and help out with ideas, what is going on here?
Zi Xu has been paying attention. After Xiao Yi entered here, although he did not speak, the changes here are all under his control.
"It seems that this big formation here is trying to trap people who break into it, and never want to go out."
"Master, what do you mean..."
"Analyzed from the current signs, it is very likely that a strong man once existed in this place, just like you found the body of that woman under the ice. In your world, perhaps a long time ago, there was a strong man. Criticize the strong."
Zixu inferred that it was just a pity that these strong men could not escape the punishment of the years, and in the end all fell, unable to break through the last shackles, and becoming a dream.
"Isn't this formation magical?"
"It's not a simple illusion formation, it's a more sophisticated formation. At least thousands of years have existed here. After so many years, the function of the formation is still there, and the methods are not ordinary."
Zixu is studying the mystery of the formation, as long as he finds the magic, it only takes a moment to crack it.
So before that, he needed to rely on Xiao Yi’s strength. Xiao Yi gradually discovered that the steps behind him were disappearing faster and faster. He and Xue Yaoyue had to speed up their pace, or they would fall into an endless abyss. .
"Xiao Yi, do you have any way to crack it? We can't keep spending it like this."
Xue Yaoyue estimated that they had at least passed more than two thousand meters along the steps. With such a long distance, plus the depth of their previous entry here, they were about to reach the bottom of the mountain. It seemed that the steps were endless.
Physical exertion is the key. I don't know what dangers and troubles will be encountered in the future. Xiao Yi is also waiting for Master's reply.
Seeing the disappearing steps, only less than one meter away from them, he could clearly see the darkness behind him, and the gusts of wind coming through the darkness, Xiao Yi shouted.
"Master, hurry up!"
"Don't worry if you are done, I have found the method, and now I have broken this formation."
Zixu's figure appeared around Xiao Yi's body, his fingers quickly formed seals, and he outlined a Tai Chi gossip picture.
Fingers moved on it. Four of the sixty-four hexagrams on the gossip map were taken out. With a light push with the palm of the hand, the hexagrams flew to the lantern hung on the iron rod, and the lantern seemed unchanged.
But immediately afterwards, the lights of the four lanterns that were pierced into the hexagrams suddenly turned blue, emitting a faint green glow, which seemed a bit strange in this place, and Zi Xu let out a chuckle.
This kind of formation can trap others. For him, it is just getting an axe at the door of the class. Only simple means are needed to untie the formation.
"Okay, the formation has been cracked. Turning back, Master will teach you how to deploy and resolve the formation. It saves you from asking for help every time."
