Sure enough, before the nine survivors could discuss how to charge into the valley, the wind blades that filled the sky suddenly retracted, turning into a blood-red astral wind. The acid rain, on the other hand, turned into football-sized hailstones that fell from the sky.
"Ah!"
Screams came from the team again. It was the three people who had been blown away by the blood-red astral wind.
Even if the three of them had monstrous Qi and blood, it had no effect under the terrifying astral wind. The three of them were like statues made of sand, their flesh and blood slowly being blown away by the astral wind.
In just a short period of time, the three of them were blown away like quicksand, not even their bones were left.
Ding Yu, who was so far away, felt his hair stand on end, let alone the remaining six people. They were so scared that they covered their heads and ran towards the valley entrance.
"Bang!"
However, the hailstones that filled the sky did not intend to let them go. As the hailstones hit a girl, they suddenly exploded. The fierce explosive force directly blew the girl into a pile of minced meat, while the ice shards turned into a terrifying chill that spread everywhere. The three people beside her could not avoid it in time and were instantly turned into ice sculptures.
As the red astral wind blew past, the two of them also disappeared into thin air.
Out of the twelve people, ten had died in a short period of time. Only the white-haired youth and a burly man with messy hair that looked like a lion were left.
The two youths, who were originally mighty and majestic, were now pale. They frantically avoided the red astral wind and the terrifying hailstones as if they were afraid of snakes and scorpions.
"Xiong Gang, the strange wind and hailstones at the valley entrance are too dense. We can only rush in."
Lan Hu's face was ashen, but he could still maintain a clear mind and quickly shouted.
"Isn't going in courting death?"
Xiong Gang narrowly avoided a hailstone and shouted in fear.
"I discovered that the strange wind and hailstones inside are actually smaller. Now we can only try our luck by rushing in. There is no way out, the wind and rain are too dense!"
Lan Hu shouted as he dodged the astral wind, "Also, there seemed to be people in there before. Maybe there is a way out."
Xiong Gang swallowed his saliva and glanced at the direction of the strange wind and hailstones that were wreaking havoc at the valley entrance. He gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, there is no other way. We can only fight."
"Let's go!"
Tiger Mist took out a long halberd that shone with a black light and skillfully flicked away a piece of hailstone. He then circled around the strange wind and quickly ran into the depths of the valley.
Xiong Gang also took out a long axe that flickered with spiritual light. Imitating Lan Hu, he skillfully flicked away the hailstones and followed behind him.
Seeing that the black light emitted by the black stele could cover an area of three to four meters, Ding Ning did not stop it, thinking that saving a life was more meritorious than building a seven-storied pagoda.
However, he did not want to meet a stranger face to face, so he moved to the side and entered stealth mode.
"This stone tablet can actually protect us. Thank the heavens, we're finally saved."
Lan Hu and Xiong Gang rushed to the front of the stone monument and saw that the terrifying astral winds and hailstones had been blocked by the black light emitted by the stone monument. Xiong Gang finally breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest with lingering fear.
Tiger Mist's expression was dark as he gritted his teeth and cursed, "It's all that damned Ding Ning's fault. If it wasn't to find him, how could little Lian 'er and the others have died here?"
Xiong Gang thought of how everyone had come in high spirits to kill Ding Ning but had fallen into a dangerous situation. His heart darkened and he said viciously, "Dammit, if I find that boy, I will definitely tear him to pieces to relieve the hatred in my heart."
"Hmph, tearing him to pieces is a light punishment. I will definitely peel off his skin and bones and eat his flesh raw."
Tiger Mist believed that all this bad luck had started because of Ding Ning and hated him to the bone.
At the side, Ding Ning's mouth twitched as he listened. He thought angrily, Dammit, did I kill your father or forcefully take your sister?
Did I have to make you hate me so much? Dammit, you still want to eat me? Dammit, do you want to eat me?
Is there someone else with the same name as me, or was I framed?
When he thought of framing, Ding Ning immediately thought of Old Donkey. He was unfamiliar with this place. If someone really wanted to frame him, it could only be that bastard Old Donkey.
Thinking of this, Ding Ning's mood calmed down. He did not think he had done anything shameful and was not afraid of these two self-righteous fellows finding trouble with him. Since it was so, he would let them be the pathfinders.
Squatting down, he carefully studied the black stone monument. He had felt it was strange before. It was impossible that the Great Formation of Heavenly Spirits and Earthly Fiends did not have an eye.
It should be known that the way of formations communicated with the power of heaven and earth, and the heavens had the virtue of cherishing life. There was no danger in this world that was absolutely certain of death. Therefore, formations were no exception. Even the most dangerous and peerless killing formation would have a chance of survival.
He did not expect the eye of the formation to be hidden so deeply. It was buried under the most inconspicuous cliff in the deepest part of the valley. If the formation had not been activated and the patterns on the black stone monument had not lit up, Ding Ning would not have thought that it was the eye of the formation.
It was just that this formation hid a peerless killing intent. The terrifying astral winds and hailstones made even him feel apprehensive. Although he had reached the Great Perfection of the Five Elements, without the protection of the stone tablet's formation core, he would have died without a doubt.
Therefore, he had to quickly understand the meaning of the runes on the stone monument and how to control the formation. At the very least, he had to find a safe route to leave this place.
The runes flickered and attracted the attention of Lan Hu and Xiong Gang. However, they did not understand the way of formations and runes. After looking at it for a while, they felt dizzy and nauseous. In the end, they simply gave up and closed their eyes to rest. They waited for the formation to calm down to see if they could break out.
At this moment, they were all hidden in the eye of the living formation. The Great Formation of Heavenly Spirits and Earthly Fiends also slowly stopped operating. The terrifying astral wind and hailstones also disappeared. Even the dark clouds gradually dissipated. The valley returned to its former tranquility.
At this moment, Ding Ning had a headache. He had not thought that this stone monument was made of a material similar to the Immortal Stone. The mental suppression it contained prevented his consciousness from leaving his body. He could only use his naked eyes to analyze the densely packed runes bit by bit.
For him, who was used to using his consciousness to memorize, this was no different from a painful torture. However, he had to expend his mental energy to study it.
This was because he knew that although the formation had temporarily calmed down, it did not mean that the formation was broken. Once they left the protection of the stone monument, the formation would activate again. Whether they could leave alive or not depended on the contents of the stone monument.
"The strange wind has disappeared. Let's break out now."
Seeing that everything was calm, Lan Hu did not want to stay in this terrifying place for even a moment longer. He suggested seriously.
A hint of fear flashed through Xiong Gang's eyes. He asked worriedly, "What if the strange wind appears again? Should we wait? "
"What's the use of waiting? If it should appear, it will appear. If it shouldn't appear, it definitely won't appear. We can't just wait here to die, right?"
Lan Hu gritted his teeth and said, "This valley isn't too big. If we run as fast as we can, we might be able to get out of here before the strange wind appears. Even if we can't get out, at worst, we can just come back here."
"Alright, that's the only way."
Xiong Gang thought about it and agreed with this reasoning. He immediately nodded in agreement.
They were both young people and did not waste time. Lan Hu shouted, "Run!" and the two of them shot out like cannonballs, running for their lives towards the outside of the valley.
"Crack!"
There was a muffled sound of thunder. Dark clouds covered the sky and the runes on the ground flickered, filling the air with a terrifying killing intent.
Lan Hu's speed was obviously much faster than Xiong Gang's. Seeing that he was about to run out of the valley, he could not help but show a hint of joy on his face. He was confident that he could get out of here before the formation was activated.
Unfortunately, in the next moment, his smile froze on his face and his eyes revealed a look of terror. After the runes on the ground flickered, he had actually returned to the side of the lake. Even Xiong Gang was running in front of him. He did not dare to stop for a moment and continued to run.
Xiong Gang only saw a blur in front of him and the Mist Tiger had actually disappeared. He was immediately startled, but seeing that he was about to run out of the valley and that the terrifying astral wind had yet to appear, his heart was suddenly filled with endless hope of survival. He used all of his strength and his heart was beating wildly. As long as he was given one more second, he would be able to escape.
But in the next moment, he felt his vision blur and he had actually returned to the side of the lake. Lan Hu, who had disappeared earlier, was running in front of him. His heart immediately sank and he did not have the time to think anymore as he continued to run forward with all his might.
But in the next moment, he felt his vision blur and he had actually returned to the side of the lake. Lan Hu, who had disappeared earlier, was running in front of him. His heart immediately sank and he did not have the time to think anymore as he continued to run forward with all his might.
Ding Ning was dumbfounded as he watched this scene. His scalp felt numb. This evil spirit was so terrifying that it could affect one's mind.
In his eyes, Lan Hu and Xiong Gang were extremely comical. They kept running on the same spot beside the lake but did not advance even half a meter.
"Ah! I'm done for! "
Ding Ning secretly rejoiced that he had these two idiots as pathfinders. Only then did he discover the abnormality of this formation. Otherwise, he might have taken the risk and charged out. He did not know what the outcome would be.
This formation had already surpassed the normal range of the Great Formation of Heavenly Spirits and Earthly Fiends. It was filled with endless changes and was very different from his understanding of the Great Formation of Heavenly Spirits and Earthly Fiends. If he tried to break the formation according to its evolution process, he would definitely die a tragic death.
No matter if it was the terrifying wind that eroded one's soul or the hailstones that were as big as footballs, they all brought him a strong threat of death. On the other hand, the Earthly Fiends Qi did not give him any feeling of fear. However, he firmly believed that this strange formation definitely had changes that could threaten his life.
In his eyes, Mist Tiger and Xiong Gang were already dead, so he couldn't be bothered to pay any more attention to them. He focused all of his attention on the stone tablet and carefully analyzed the changes in the runes on it. This was the only way for him to survive.
Now that things had come to this, he had completely given up on the idea of going to see if there was a great demon being suppressed here. The terror here had exceeded the limits of his imagination. He only wanted to quickly decipher these runes and find a safe escape route.
"Roar!"
Lan Hu and Xiong Gang were, after all, geniuses of their generation. They had escaped to the mouth of the valley several times only to inexplicably return to the lakeside. They finally realized that something was wrong. With an angry roar, they took out glowing weapons and fiercely struck the ground.
Their thinking was very simple. Since they were unable to decipher it, then they would use brute force to destroy the runes here. Perhaps they could find a way out.
This was because they discovered that even if they wanted to return to the stone tablet, they could not do so. No matter where they ran, they would eventually return to the lakeside. This made Xiong Gang hate Lan Hu to the core. If he had not believed his nonsense, he would still be safely under the protection of the stone tablet.
When this hatred fused with the killing intent emitted from the ground, Xiong Gang's eyes gradually turned blood red. Menacingly, he approached Mist Tiger, who was madly chopping at the runes. Without any warning, he swung the long axe in his hand towards Mist Tiger's head.
"Xiong Gang, are you f * cking crazy?"
Lan Hu was far stronger than Xiong Gang in terms of strength and willpower. At this moment, he could still barely maintain a sliver of clarity. Sensing the evil wind coming from the back of his head, he hurriedly turned around and used his halberd to block the attack, roaring and cursing.
