Maybe it was because the young boy in azure had saved him once, so along the way, he seemed to pay more attention to him than anyone else. Naturally, he had also hoped that the young boy would make it out of the forest alive. Now, with more than a dozen of them walking together, and yet they lost the young boy. Therefore, his expression darkened with annoyance.
Without saying another word, Bi San turned and walked back. In his opinion, if the young boy in azure wasn’t travelling with them, he would surely die within a short time. He had saved him once, he couldn’t just leave him alone.
“Bi San, what are you doing?” Lei Xiao and the others walked over to him.
“I’m going back to look for that kid.” Bi San replied.
“We will go with you! It will be better than you walking alone.” Lei Xiao said.
“Alright, let’s go together! He should be just behind, maybe he walks a bit slower that’s all. He shouldn’t have met with any problems.” Lin Xi said.
Upon seeing the few of them walk back, the people behind them shouted: “You don’t need to go back, even if you follow the path backwards you won’t be able to get out. The formation here keeps changing, if you are not careful you won’t be able to get back here.”
“Aren’t we trapped in here right now anyway? What’s the difference?” They said without looking back and continued walking forward.
After they watched the few of them leave, the dozen or so men stood there in silence. One of them asked: “Why are they so good to that kid? If he’s lost, he’s lost, it’s no big deal.”
“Earlier on, Bi San was poisoned with snake venom and that kid saved his life.” Someone replied and shook his head at the same time: “I’m afraid that it’s probably too late them going back now anyway.”
As for Feng Jiu, she didn’t know that Bi San and the others had turned back to look for her. She had squatted on the ground and was drawing circles with a branch. Though it looked like circles, it was actually the formation. She was analyzing the changes in the formation and the locations of its life and death.
Because of the ingenuity of the formation, the cries of the people who were trapped within the formation couldn’t be heard when it was changing. Therefore, as she was squatting there for a long time, after a while, she heard the faint cries of the people who were calling for help earlier.
“The formation changes after the time it takes to burn half an incense, so if you get here, it should be like this. If you want to walk out of here, you need to leave from here.” She murmured to herself softly as she held the branch and drew on the ground.
“Kid! Where are you?”
Suddenly, she heard Bi San’s voice. Feng Jiu was slightly surprised and looked up. She couldn’t see anyone in the vast expanse of white fog in front of her, nor was she able to tell which direction the voice came from. However, she had just walked in a circle, so she should be able to walk over to them easily.
She stood up and rubbed away the formation she had drawn on the ground with her foot before she walked forward. However, she had only walked a short distance when she heard a muffled groan and caught the scent of blood.
Her eyebrows wrinkled up slightly as she released her spirit intent and swept across her surroundings. A Nascent Soul cultivator was attacking one of the people who had been trapped inside this formation, and Bi San and the others were headed straight into the chaos.
Upon seeing this, she quickened her footsteps and walked forward. Maybe a few Golden Core cultivators stood a chance at survival by joining forces outside of this formation. However, inside the formation, they would only be killed.
Bi San, Lei Xiao and the others also caught the scent of blood in the air at the same time and they thought that Feng Jiu had met with harm. They quickened their footsteps and hurried towards the sound. However, unexpectedly, within a few metres of walking forwards, a sword with a fierce aura struck out towards them. The bloodthirsty murderous intent approached them and the coercion of the Nascent Soul cultivator shocked them and rendered them unable to move…
