413: C413 Trapped

C413 Trapped

The distance was very far. At least, they could not see the end of it, but they could see the edges of the stone pillars up close. They could vaguely see many stone beads standing there, and on the stone pillars, there were even many strange patterns …

At most, they could only see a close proximity to it. Furthermore, they could not even see a wandering soul from this place, so they had no idea what kind of existence this floating soul was.

On the other hand, the thunderclouds above the clouds were so dense that one could occasionally see lightning striking down from the sky and disappearing into the misty clouds.

"This place is a little strange." At this moment, an old man slowly spoke.

Everyone nodded at the same time.

"Let's go in. Maybe there's a crystal source here," another old man said.

"There must be something here!" At this moment, he felt the heat coming from his chest. He paused before continuing, "And it's not just because he felt the extreme thirst for the jade pendant. Needless to say, there must be a lot more of them." However, due to the dense fog, he wasn't sure how much of it was there. In any case, he didn't feel any extremely pure soul within his range of contact with the fog …

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's quickly enter." At this moment, the old man surnamed Liang spoke once again.

"But I don't know if there are any higher level wandering souls in the clouds," the old woman said. She then looked at Zhang Fan, who appeared to be deep in thought at the same time, "Little brother, if we were to encounter higher level ones, would you be able to withstand them?"

"I don't know. Maybe I can, maybe I can't, but I always try, don't I?" Zhang Fan said without the slightest bit of fear.

"Then let's go," the old man surnamed Liang said indifferently.

After a while, Zhang Fan took a deep breath and said, "Let's go." He held Su Qian tightly as he rushed over, his soul power floating even more strongly.

In fact, Zhang Fan had basically become the leader of these top powerhouses, even though his special ability was inextricably linked to it.

After a short while, they stood on the stone altar in the clouds, then walked into the clouds. At that moment, they discovered that the distance they could see had actually been maintained within ten meters. To everyone, this was a huge challenge.

At this moment, he could feel a few wandering souls wandering around in the clouds. However, after sensing Zhang Fan's soul force, they quickly retreated.

At this point, they had no way of determining the direction they were heading in. They could be considered to have followed Zhang Fan, and Zhang Fan's judgement was extremely simple. It was something that was determined by the heat in his chest.

A day had passed. Although they were on foot, they had still walked a long distance. In fact, they had been here for more than twenty days, which was during the day and night. After all, they were not clear about the current situation.

If they were to calculate the time now, they didn't have much time because they had to free up enough time to go back. After all, it was only two months.

At the beginning, they didn't understand what the stone pillars were for, but at the back, he could feel that this stone pillar seemed to be attracting the thunder clouds in the sky, because as they walked, they would occasionally see a lightning bolt strike not too far away from them.

However, there was a sense of astonishment in everyone's eyes. They did not understand what was going on. First, the wandering souls decided not to make such a thing. It was either something that appeared before the seal or something made by a higher level wandering souls.

However, no one knew what the uses of this place were, so it was covered by a mysterious aura.

Zhang Fan's soul power had also expanded to the limit so as to prevent any sudden unusual movements, so that he could make the best preparations.

"Hmph, this damned fog, are we really going to drive it away?" At this moment, an old man was slightly angry. Crazy energy instantly gathered and rushed in all directions, but at this moment, something strange happened. The thick energy was completely absorbed by the surrounding stone pillars.

"This thing is so strange!" The old man could not help but say with a surprised expression on his face. Then, his eyes flashed as he extended his right hand and viciously smashed it against the stone pillar, one strike at the top, but there was a rebound force that exploded out. The force that the old man used to hit the stone pillar was absorbed by the stone pillar once again.

"How could this be?" The old man said in disbelief.

"This place is very strange." Zhang Fan said, his eyes flashing. He then said, "We might be trapped here."

"Why do you say that?" A person's gaze fell on Zhang Fan.

"I don't feel a wandering soul in this area. I suspect this place is like a maze." Zhang Fan said with a strange expression, "If you want to find that crystal source, first try to leave this place."

"Little brother, do you mean we're trapped here?" The old woman couldn't help but speak.

"I'm just suspecting …" Zhang Fan said with a slight frown. He looked around and his brows furrowed even more. If he guessed right, it was probably due to the stone pillars.

This was because he could not help but recall the time when Gu Shenwei had unsealed the seal, those seemingly fixed stone pillars had also miraculously moved. Perhaps these stone pillars could also move, but right now, it was precisely something that controlled them and caused them to circle around. This so-called thing might be an extremely high level wandering soul, or perhaps this thing was also naturally formed, but regardless of which one it was, it was extremely bad.2

"Hmph, isn't this simple? Are we allowed to fly in the air?" At this moment, an old man coldly snorted.

Zhang Fan hesitated for a moment before nodding his head. At the same time, the old man also soared into the sky. However, with a "weng" sound, the surrounding stone pillars lit up at the same time.

"Bang!" Accompanied by a loud sound, the old man's body was pressed down.

Seeing this scene, everyone understood that Zhang Fan's guess had been verified, and they all immediately frowned. Zhang Fan also did the same, and his eyes lit up, and he seemed to have sunk into deep thought. To put it bluntly, it was because of the fog, and because of it, they could not see the change in the stone pillars, and because of it, they could not see the changes in the stone pillars.

At this time, Zhang Fan arrived in front of one of the stone pillars. He spread out his right hand, and Xuan Yuan immediately appeared. Without activating any restriction power, he viciously slashed at one of the stone pillars.

At this time, everyone revealed extremely astonished expressions. An expert with such terrifying strength had not left much behind on the stone pillar, yet a person with the strength of a second level Emperor level martial artist had managed to accomplish it.

At the same time, the man's face was filled with an extremely embarrassed expression.

Zhang Fan took a step back, leaving a mark on each of the stone pillars. He then narrowed his eyes and said, "Let's go."

After saying this, Zhang Fan led the group forward. The others followed him out as well. Since they hadn't gotten far, Zhang Fan would always leave some of his mark on the surrounding stone pillars.

Half a day passed. Just as Zhang Fan was about to leave behind his mark, his body stiffened. He then turned around and looked at everyone present. He pointed to one of the marks and said, "This mark was left behind by me at the very beginning."

The reason why Zhang Fan said this was because there were different patterns within the scratches, and this simple transformation was left behind at the very beginning.

The faces of everyone present changed at the same time. Looking around them, they discovered that some of the surrounding stone pillars were there, while others were not. Just from this, one could tell that the stone pillars here had changed before.

"What should we do now? Are we going to stay here forever?" Many people frowned. One of the elders began to frantically attack the surroundings, but it was all absorbed and to no avail.

Zhang Fan was holding Su Qian as he leaned against a stone pillar. His eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at her and said, "Qianqian, are you scared?"

"I'm not afraid." Su Qian shook her head and hugged Zhang Fan's arm, "Because with you, Big Brother Zhang, it doesn't matter if you're trapped here for the rest of your life."

Zhang Fan couldn't help but laugh at Su Qian's words. He pinched Su Qian's small face and told her that she wouldn't be trapped, that she would definitely be able to walk out, that was, continue to scratch her face, and then follow his arrangement, sooner or later she would be able to walk out. But this method took too long, and after a few months, it might even be possible for a few years.
