Zhong Ming and Xuan Hao walked in the slightly dark environment. The darkness in the tower was not the darkness one couldn't see their own fingers in, but because there was a faint moonlight in the night, making it seem like it was completely dark.
Their usual night vision ability was actually extremely good. Previously, they could not see anything in that dark space because there was no light at all in that space, it was just pure darkness. The light in this space today was not very strong, but it was enough for Xuan Hao and Zhong Ming to clearly see everything in this dark space.
Zhong Ming and Xuan Hao stood up and adapted for a moment. It was as if they were under the sunlight. They naturally completed the exploration of this area, which was slightly dark to normal people.
There seemed to be nothing on this floor, but there were still many obstacles. There were all sorts of strange looking stones scattered around this floor. There were even countless spiderwebs and scratches in the corners. The walls even had skin falling off them. This should be an extremely old building. He didn't know what it was used for, but judging from the exquisite carvings on the windows, this building must have had quite a bit of status.
Combined with the deafening sound he had heard before, Zhong Ming thought about when he had just entered the city. He thought about the giant heavy artillery and seemingly indestructible city wall that surrounded the entire city tower and blocked the advance of Zhong Ming and Xuan Hao just by relying on his appearance alone. It was impossible for a city with this kind of design to silently linger in the river of time like this, it was definitely marked by the later generations as a heavy, heavy, and colorful line in history.
However, he had only heard of the fame of the Central Gou Mountain. In the past, he had never heard of the design and structure of such a city, even Zhong Ming, who was somewhat similar to it.
This was completely illogical, but right now, he had yet to fully unravel his thoughts. He looked at Xuan Hao, who was on the other side, and thought of the point that he had just released: If this city is filled with extraordinary things, then this ancient tower probably won't have a door that can easily let us out. He was just about to remind Xuan Hao and warn him not to touch the things here, just in case he touched the mechanism, Zhong Ming noticed Xuan Hao turning around and walking towards him.
Xuan Hao's voice was suppressed to an extremely low pitch, as if he was afraid that anyone would hear him. He especially whispered, "Master, there's a door here."
Xuan Hao's voice was so soft that one couldn't hear his voice. Zhong Ming could only hear Xuan Hao's breath emit waves after waves of hot air. Even Zhong Ming could guess what Xuan Hao meant.
However, for Xuan Hao, this shouldn't be the case. The moment he walked over, Zhong Ming noticed that something was wrong with Xuan Hao. The sound of his footsteps were too soft, it didn't sound like Xuan Hao at all. This kind of soft noise didn't match with the scene of Xuan Hao walking towards him. Moreover, when Xuan Hao walked over, Zhong Ming couldn't see his face clearly for a few seconds.
Zhong Ming was shocked, the person in front of him was definitely not Xuan Hao. Although he was wearing Xuan Hao's face and body, it always gave him the feeling of an evil being carved into his bone marrow. Even looking at him gave him goosebumps. This was an extremely gloomy and cold aura, like that of a venomous snake, and the person who only dared to secretly spit out information was definitely not Xuan Hao.
But where did Xuan Hao go now? Wait, where did Huang Ling go?
Zhong Ming remembered that there was still Xiao Budian. How could he do things like this? Little Huang Ling couldn't still be at her original spot right now, right?
Zhong Ming hurriedly used his telepathic connection to call out to Little Yellow. His voice was exceptionally clear, like the sound of thunder. Each word was spoken with great force, hitting Little Huang Ling's head. Xuan Hao had originally lifted the little yellow spirit up and put her into the space. But after asking, he was a little confused. Didn't master tell him to return to the space?
With this question, Little Huang Ling answered Zhong Ming truthfully, "Master, I'm in the space now. Xuan Hao picked me up and threw me in." Huang Ling's answer sounded clear and clean, and with just a few words, it revealed her strange intelligence. Even in this situation, little Huang Ling did not forget to sprinkle salt on Xuan Hao's wounds in front of Zhong Ming.
Huang Ling meant no harm; she was merely stating a fact. As for how her master would interpret it, it had nothing to do with her.
Zhong Ming had lived two lifetimes and he saw through the resentment Little Yellow had towards Xuan Hao with one glance. However, he didn't know what to say at that moment. Little Yellow Spirit's last sentence, which carried a faint trace of desolation, caused Xuan Hao to be stunned, and he almost forgot about the fake Xuan Hao in front of him. His expression didn't change in the slightest, and he still looked like a big boss who didn't want strangers to get close to him. His restrained temperament was written all over his face.
Zhong Ming automatically ignored Huang Ling's words and continued to ask him where he was thrown into the space. From which step did he start walking in the wrong direction.
Huang Ling was sitting on the grass in the space, looking extremely lazy. She didn't know how to answer this question.
At that time, wasn't Master right behind him? With her back facing him, the little yellow spirit instantly understood the situation. "Master, where are you? Is there a problem?"
Zhong Ming didn't answer her directly and continued to ask, "Then what do you think about the water chestnut grass? Is it here or somewhere else?"
Little Huang Ling curiously asked: "Master, Xuan Hao asked me about this question. Didn't you ask him to ask about it?" "I feel that the water chestnut grass is just below this floor. In any case, there's absolutely no mistake in this position. You'll find it soon enough."
Along with Little Huang Ling's inner thoughts, Zhong Ming lowered his head and covered his lower eyelids with his long eyelashes, casting a long line of shadow on his face. He looked like he couldn't figure out what was going on. Zhong Ming didn't know when Xuan Hao and he had fallen into a situation where they were on their own. Zhong Ming saw that Xuan Hao was still fine before, but did he really have to divide the work with him? And he kicked Xuan Hao to get him to get up and start a joke with him, and in the blink of an eye, Xuan Hao became a man hiding behind his back? This definitely wasn't Xuan Hao's style. However, judging from Huang Ling's words, this person was really Xuan Hao. Other than Xuan Hao and himself, no one had the authority to open and close that space. This uniqueness overturned Zhong Ming's suspicion that Huang Ling had encountered a fake Xuan Hao.
While he was thinking about it carefully, he walked forward. Zhong Ming's voice sounded normal, but it was still calm and deep and pleasant to the ear. He asked, "Xuan Hao, where are we going?" His voice seemed to have suddenly alarmed him. His slightly panicked expression clearly appeared in Zhong Ming's eyes. Zhong Ming didn't know which part of him stepped on this fake Xuan Hao's tail, causing him to not even disguise himself anymore. However, when he looked more closely, he found that this fake Xuan Hao's pupils were actually gold. This was very eye-catching and sudden amongst this blood-red color.
Seeing Xuan Hao like this, he decided to stop pretending. He directly stretched out his hand with extreme speed, wanting to take down this fake Xuan Hao who looked very weak. However, the moment Zhong Ming was about to meet him, that figure scattered into the air like a speck of dust, from his feet to his head.
Zhong Ming stopped walking. This should be an extremely complicated formation. Just a moment ago, it seemed that he and Xuan Hao had probably entered this array when they had just landed or when they had stood up and groped about. Speaking of this, Zhong Ming remembered those messy rocks lying on the ground. He didn't know what they were for. They looked like they were randomly spread out on the ground, but in fact, every single stone was placed in a certain direction.
Zhong Ming squinted his eyes. This city had given him a great harvest. The person who had designed it was definitely a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering power.
The reason why these stones looked so complicated was because they looked like they were being casually spread out on the ground. There was a high probability that these stones were not placed together as an array.
Although Zhong Ming was already a top-notch formation master, he was still not proficient in this kind of mixed formation. Seeing Zhong Ming leave and return to the calm space, he once again had doubts.
If he and Xuan Hao were both in the same array, then Xuan Hao should be in the same area. When Xuan Hao sent Huang Ling into the space, he might be a little mentally abnormal, so it must be at that place that Xuan Hao fell into a predicament.
Zhong Ming slowly moved his feet and tried his best not to touch the broken rocks on the ground. He gently stepped onto the spot where Xuan Hao had landed.0
The moment he stepped on it, Zhong Ming felt that something was wrong. That aura seemed to be a bewitching array, but it also seemed like an illusory array. This place …
Zhong Ming was quite knowledgeable about formations, but he had never seen or heard of this one before. To the point where he couldn't even define this rock properly, and called it a Gate of Life. But it seemed to hide a killing intent, called it a Gate of Death, and left a large amount of life force behind. It didn't seem to be a Formation Eye, but it seemed to be a Formation Eye instead … The complicated array patterns appeared in Zhong Ming's mind one by one. He lifted his foot and stepped on a small, unremarkable stone beside the rock.
It looked no different from the other stones scattered on the ground. However, when Zhong Ming stepped on that rock and increased the output of the Spiritual Energy, that rock actually did not break.
Seeing that, the corner of Zhong Ming's mouth curled up into a smile. He squinted his long and narrow almond-shaped eyes and instantly increased the power of his Spiritual Energy. If Xuan Hao was beside him right now, he would definitely be able to feel the surging waves of Spiritual Energy in Zhong Ming's body. Zhong Ming had even broken a small part of his seal, adding the Spiritual Energy that were exposed, it was to the point of crushing the evil stone.
The rock was so hard that if Zhong Ming wasn't unable to make it, he definitely wouldn't have destroyed it. A rock with such a hard texture was definitely a good material for making weapons.
However, no matter how outstanding the quality of this stone was, it was still far inferior to Xuan Hao and his own life. Zhong Ming had just memorized the rough location of all the pebbles' visits. The various arrays were linked to each other and independent of each other, so the network of connections was very complicated. However, Zhong Ming still found the Formation Eye from those connections. Beside the stone that Xuan Hao previously touched, it was just a small step away.
The moment the stone exploded, the entire dusky space lit up. The only complicated patterns on the window also flashed.
Only then did Zhong Ming see Xuan Hao sitting on the ground with a face full of sweat.
