Wang Zhan glanced at Xiang Tian beside him, then said calmly, "Alright, stop wasting time here. Stay close behind us, and let’s carefully investigate the nearby area."
Xiang Tian nodded without saying much.
After all, considering his strength compared to the others present, he was naturally much weaker.
If it weren’t for following Wang Zhan, he wouldn’t even be able to act alone, lest he bring trouble upon himself.
Thinking of this, he quickened his pace again and followed closely in Wang Zhan’s footsteps.
In no time, Wang Zhan and Xiang Tian had already investigated the area in front of them but found nothing unusual. This place seemed just like any ordinary location, indistinguishable in any way, which puzzled both Wang Zhan and Xiang Tian.
Could it be that there’s really nothing in this area?
Or is it that all the danger has already been piled onto everyone around?
In any case, Wang Zhan could not believe the ruins could be so tranquil, convinced there must be something within.
Upon realizing this, Wang Zhan turned his gaze to Xiang Tian beside him and continued, "Alright, let’s start moving and quickly regroup with everyone else. I feel there’s something odd here that’s a bit unnerving..."
The danger before their eyes wasn’t considered dangerous, but unknown dangers are more troubling.
Xiang Tian understood this too, quickly agreed, and hurried to the side.
Just as the two were about to set off, they suddenly heard a loud noise nearby.
Wang Zhan’s expression changed instantly, and he instinctively looked behind him. It seemed his suspicions weren’t wrong; indeed, there’s something strange in these ruins, but he hadn’t detected anything unusual, meaning there must be something here, but those things don’t seem to be in their direction.
But everyone is a team, and no one can afford any errors. That’s Wang Zhan’s bottom line, and he must protect everyone around him, even those like Sword Spirit and Fire Qilin, who are stronger than him, must stick together and can’t act like solo heroes.
Wang Zhan and Xiang Tian exchanged a glance, and immediately both increased their speed and hurried back.
Soon enough, Wang Zhan and Xiang Tian returned to the place where they had initially separated from the others.
Meanwhile, the other teams were arriving one after another.
Wang Zhan glanced at Sword Spirit and Fire Qilin, his expression turning grim. If the two were in danger, Wang Zhan wouldn’t worry too much as he could quickly join up with them to solve any issues since their strength should hold out. But the problem now was that it wasn’t them who were in trouble.
"This is bad, Zhao Feiyu ran into trouble over there; everyone hurry over and take a look."
Wang Zhan looked at the approaching Li Du, gritted his teeth, and quickly followed him without doubt, as they were all close teammates, so much that even if Wang Zhan wanted to suspect anyone, he couldn’t find fault with Li Du.
However, Wang Zhan was caught off guard when upon entering a strange space with them, Li Du suddenly disappeared, and Wang Zhan and the others never noticed his presence again.
Beside him, Sword Spirit quickly turned to Wang Zhan and said, "No, that person wasn’t Li Du. His speed couldn’t be that fast, nor could he hide his information right in front of us. It looks like we’ve been tricked into a maze, and if we want to escape unscathed, we’ll need to find a way..."
Wang Zhan nodded, clearly having realized it too.
But as they were preparing to leave, they found themselves in a peculiar space filled with fog around them, completely trapping them. Even with their strong abilities, they couldn’t escape unharmed.
Wang Zhan carefully surveyed the surroundings, settling his gaze on the Fire Qilin. Among them, while the strength of Fire Qilin and Sword Spirit was even, the Fire Qilin’s Divine Beast Constitution meant his senses far exceeded theirs. Wang Zhan could only pin all his hopes on Fire Qilin to see if he could lead them out.
Fire Qilin squinted at the fog for a long time, then shook his head and said, "Damn it, this area seems to block all perception, so even I can’t sense anything different, nor find a way out. It seems we’re in a tricky situation, and we’ll have to use all our skills to avoid getting trapped and unable to leave..."
Suddenly, Wang Zhan seemed to understand something.
These ruins are known to everyone in the sea domain, yet no one has ever ventured here. Sure, in years past, those who did were long lost without a trace.
Initially, Wang Zhan didn’t know what happened inside, but now it seemed clear there was something odd here, trapping those who entered in this strange fog with no way out, leaving them with only one path, to be trapped to death here.
Thinking of this, Wang Zhan tightened his fist, gripped Poseidon’s Trident that appeared in his hand, and thrust it into the white fog with a loud crash.
But the fog seemed unaffected, and beyond the fog was just more fog.
"This is a barrier. Without finding the Eye of the Formation, mere force won’t let us escape. We need to search carefully for any anomalies and exploit these weaknesses to leave as quickly as possible!"
Fire Qilin advised.
They couldn’t afford to waste time here. Being trapped isn’t helpful and consumes their mental energy, and soon they’d be trapped to death. The situation could only become more troublesome.
Sword Spirit frowned and added, "I feel the air here is peculiar. There seems to be some kind of poison, so we must handle it carefully. Breathing it for long will likely sap our spiritual power, making it hard to leave..."
It’s misfortune upon misfortune.
Unexpectedly, things became so difficult under such circumstances.
"But Zhao Feiyu’s fate is unknown, and Li Du is absent. While the four of us might find a way to leave safely, their skills are far below ours, and they can’t handle tough opponents. What will we do then?"
Xiang Tian added.
He knew Wang Zhan’s nature well; since they all came as friends, he wouldn’t let them leave easily and would ensure everyone’s safety.
Indeed, Wang Zhan frowned at hearing this, his face turning considerably grim.
He clenched his fist and said, "Given our situation, let’s address our immediate issues first. Once we break the barrier, we should quickly regroup with Zhao Feiyu and help them. This damn place is too strange, truly infuriating..."
Even Wang Zhan didn’t expect so many formation techniques within.
And they were already trapped inside.
One should know that Fire Qilin and Sword Spirit have very sharp senses, so even in challenging situations, they wouldn’t get stuck.
But now it seemed everything was due to Li Du.
If they hadn’t seen Li Du’s shadow, how could they have blindly followed his words?
Beforehand, they heard some noises, rushing over, but now it seemed likely a ploy to lure them here.
But Wang Zhan couldn’t dwell on it, waving his hand and said, "Let’s stop wasting time here, quickly check the surroundings, and find a way to get away!"
