The villain and I have eight hundred minds combined

Chapter 116 Underwater Maze (7)

Going further down, there was no sound of the snake crawling, and the man with the strange smile was nowhere to be seen. This was their territory, and it was not difficult to hide here.

The illuminating beads floated in the air, chasing Long Jin closely. Long Jin was furious and ran in the front as fast as a shadow.

This floor was not as open as the previous floors, it was all flat. In front of me was a maze like a chessboard, but each small grid on the chessboard was of different heights and not on the same horizontal plane. The shortest grid was actually bottomless when looking down from above, like a piece of driftwood in the abyss.

Not only that, at the end of the chessboard there was a wall of "human faces". From the darkness, the faces on the wall had expressions of joy, anger, sorrow and happiness, as if they were real human faces crowded together, vying to look out from inside the wall. "They" were staring at the three people, which made Mu Hanxing's heart tremble again, and his back felt cold.

Just as she was about to take a step forward, Jingchen subconsciously grabbed her wrist and said, "Wait, don't move."

Long Jin's eyes darkened. "This is... In the earliest generations of the Chigui tribe, some people did use maze-like space magic... These grids cannot be stepped on randomly."

"Can't we just fly over there? What about those faces?" Mu Hanxing asked.

Long Jin had no idea what to make of the strange faces on the wall, so he just said to the two of them, "I don't know either, but this formation must have a way to break. If you rush forward rashly, your spiritual power might be sealed and you might fall from above into the abyss... I'll go over and find out what's going on, you two wait here."

"Wait." Jing Chen took a step forward, his face was unusually solemn, "Young Master Long, if you want to show off your prowess, you don't have to do it at this time. Since this formation can seal spiritual power, you were just a mortal body before."

"This is a strange incident in Huaiyu Town. I have no choice but to take responsibility for it. If anything happens to you two, it will be my fault." Long Jin said seriously and took a step towards the nearest chess square.

Mu Hanxing and Jingchen looked gloomy. At this moment, it was indeed the best solution to let one person go to test the way, so as to avoid the whole army being wiped out. However, if anyone was allowed to be the "chess piece" to explore the way, the people left behind would not feel good and would not have any sense of luck of surviving. At least that was what Mu Hanxing felt.

Seeing that nothing happened after Long Jin leaped onto the first square on the chessboard, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief. Mu Hanxing looked at the group of strange faces behind them, she frowned, as if she had discovered something.

Jing Chen looked at the chessboard for a while and asked Long Jin, "How do you feel? Has your body experienced any changes since entering the formation?"

Just as Long Jin's father had mentioned to him before, the Red Viper Clan had a formation that could make a person temporarily lose their spiritual power. Although this formation was powerful, it was quite energy-consuming to set up and required a strict chess game layout. It also seemed that a dark and turbid place was needed to carry it out.

Long Jin stood on the grid, lost in memories, and said after a moment: "Many years ago, the red snake practiced with my father in the heaven. When we were tired, we played chess together under the peach tree in Xiyunjian... Well, the space here is indeed a spirit-trapping formation, and I can't use my spiritual power now."

As he spoke, the spear in Long Jin's hand disappeared.

"It seems that if we want to get through here, we can only crack the chess game. If we step on the wrong square, we might fall into the abyss." Mu Hanxing said.

After saying that, she continued to look at the faces on the wall at the opposite end. They were clearly human features, but because of the blurry grayish color of the wall, they looked like ghost faces.

She said, "These faces look similar to the weird-laughing male snake I encountered before."

"What do you mean?" Jingchen asked.

“They’re all so ugly.”

"..."

When Long Jin heard this, she was simply incredulous and yelled at her: "At this time, you are still choosing a male lover???"

Jing Chen did not follow Long Jin's thoughts. He said, "No, the faces on this wall are probably those selected by the Red Viper Clan. It's just that the wall has been in disrepair for a long time, and they are not good at painting, so the facial features look deformed and distorted."

Mu Hanxing nodded and said, "That's right. What I want to say is that the Chigui people have always been inferior because of their race. Maybe they not only want to fly into the sky and become dragons, but also want to have the appearance of dragon bones and outstanding heroic figures like the real descendants of Zhulong... Maybe... these faces are the faces of the people of Huaiyu Town."

After making this guess, the three people remained silent in the darkness.

Long Jin was extremely furious. He had held on until now because he didn't want to ruin the feng shui of this place and really affect the fortune of Huaiyu Town. He tried his best to suppress his anger and said to the two with trembling eyebrows: "I will continue to test the road, you guys think of a way."

As soon as he finished speaking, he could only rely on his Qinggong to jump forward again. At the moment when his foot stepped on the square, he heard a "click" sound in the darkness. He didn't know what secret door was triggered. When Mu Hanxing heard this sound, he subconsciously shouted: "Get out of the way!"

Long Jin reacted very quickly. Hearing two "whoosh" sounds coming from the left and right sides, he flipped in the air and quickly dodged the poisonous arrows flying from the darkness. The poisonous arrows shot on the ground and quickly penetrated into the ground, spreading a circle of strange green liquid, which seemed to be snake venom.

Long Jin is a mortal now, his martial arts skills are very good, and he is agile. He is indeed... suitable to explore the way for her.

After the false alarm, the snake venom from the poisonous arrow slowly corroded the grid where Long Jin was standing. Mu Hanxing quickly reminded him: "Go! You can't stay there! You don't have spiritual power now, I'm afraid you can't withstand the poison!"

The venom spread very quickly. In less than a moment, half of the grid had been devoured by the venom. Seeing the venom invading to Long Jin's feet, his spiritual power and magic power were sealed by the spell formation. He could only rely on force to quickly jump to the nearby grid.

He leaped into the air, somersaulted and landed randomly on the nearest grid. As soon as he stepped in, the grid sank rapidly at an extremely fast speed, and then disappeared in an instant!

The moment he stepped into the abyss, a golden spirit whip quickly emerged from the darkness like a spirit snake and stretched out towards Long Jin in the air. He was quick-eyed and quick-handed and quickly grabbed the golden spirit whip!

At the moment when Mu Hanxing was frightened, the crisis was resolved. Fortunately, the two of them chose to stand outside the chessboard and watch. It would be troublesome if the three of them could not protect themselves because they had no spiritual power.

After Jing Chen rescued Long Jin from the abyss in time, Long Jin was tied up by the Golden Spirit Whip and entangled in mid-air. Looking down, Ge Zi disappeared into the darkness, and no one knew where he went.
