Walking on the streets of Hebai Town, although the crowds are not as crowded as the city, there is a unique sense of vitality.

Strictly speaking, this vitality is more like the breath of nature, which is incomparable to the busy and anxious life in Wushen City.

After briefly wandering around a few shops, I realized that the shops in this village and town each have their own specialties.

For example, the elixir shop's main source of income comes from simple healing medicines or cold medicines, etc. On the contrary, elixirs are relatively rare. The highest-level items that can be obtained by the weapon refining shop are magic weapons, and the ones that can be obtained the most are...

They are ordinary agricultural tools such as hoes and shovels.

However, there was a very simple mechanism puppet that aroused the interest of Jiang Yun and others.

This mechanism puppet is not a magic weapon. It does not have any combat functions or artificial intelligence. The only thing it can do is to execute orders. It is similar to simple operations such as guarding gates and plowing land.

And only a small piece of Yu stone filled with spiritual energy can drive the puppet to run for many days.

After wandering around for about an hour, it was dusk and the six of them left with unfinished business.

Standing at the foot of the mountain, they looked at the rugged mountain road in front of them leading straight to the mountainside above. They couldn't help but wonder if they had gone to the wrong meeting point. From the mouths of the people around them, they learned that the mountain in front of them was the 'fairy mountain' where the old Taoist Sanmang lived.

.

The reason why this mountain is so magical in their eyes is because of the Sanmang Taoist who protects the surrounding villages.

Second, you can only live below the mountainside. You cannot enter above the mountainside. There is a fog barrier covering the mountainside. In the fog is an irregular stone forest. Only practitioners can find a way to get through.

The stone forest continues to move upward.

After ordinary people try and find no results, they are usually sent out by the mysterious "fog beast" that appears in it.

"Let's go, we'll find out how to get up there."

Tuoba Jinghuan was the first to walk in front. As a child of a large clan, he did not like to get along with those children of the big family. He preferred to be friends with ordinary casual cultivators such as Jiang Yun and Li Yankun.

Perhaps it has a lot to do with his childhood circumstances.

The group walked halfway up the mountain and saw the rocky forest that the villagers longed for and feared.

Looking from a distance, clouds and mist are spreading in front, blocking all views from behind and on the top of the mountain. When you get closer, you can see the stone forest under the clouds and mist.

"There must be something strange in this stone forest. Everyone, please come closer and try not to scatter later."

There was something strange ahead. Tuoba Jinghuan wanted to use his soul to investigate. Unexpectedly, when the soul entered the stone forest, it was as if his eyes were blocked. He also couldn't get too far away from his body to investigate.

There is a rule somewhere that limits the distance between the power of the soul and the body of the soul.

"There must be traces of the formation in this misty stone forest. Jiang Yun, you are the formation master, walking in the middle."

Before Tuoba Jinghuan finished speaking, Jiang Yun nodded. As a formation master, if he couldn't see that this formation was covered by formations, it would be better to hit him to death.

Six people gathered into a small group and stepped inside.

Tuoba Jinghuan was in front, Liu Jing and Li Yankun were on the left and right, Liu Yiyi and Huo Xiaoyu were walking behind, and Jiang Yun was surrounded by them in the middle.

As soon as I stepped into the misty stone forest, I realized that it was far more mysterious and unpredictable than what the outside world said and thought. The visibility was almost only three meters, and it became a little hazy after three meters. It was impossible to see anything beyond five meters.

.

The most important thing is that after the six people came in, there were forks everywhere and they had no idea where to go.

Even if Jiang Yun wanted to use the star orientation in the formation to make calculations, he was unable to do so due to the limitations of his vision and soul intelligence.

Not waiting for them to leave for a while.

They just heard a "swish" sound, and it seemed like someone was coming near them at a very fast speed. Unfortunately, they couldn't hear the direction from which the sound came, and there was no way to identify it.

"You six are here to report because you are thirsty for blood?"

The sound was erratic, as if it was far away in the sky and yet close to my ears.

The quicksand around Li Yankun had already quietly flowed down, and he could defend or attack at any time. He said sharply, "Who are you?"

The other party didn't answer.

The next second, the people in the cloud seemed to move, a sharp attack sound came, and something smashed down above their heads!

The six people hurriedly dodged, and the formation was immediately dispersed.

"Bang!"

The smashed object hit the ground hard, and there was a deafening roar. At the same time, the ground began to tremble.

Even though the six people dodged away, they were still shaky due to their unsteady stance.

Jiang Yun subconsciously took out the Eight Formations Diagram with his left hand and controlled the Green Willow Sword Umbrella with his right hand.

"Everyone, come towards me! Don't scatter!"

As he shouted, the Eight Formation Diagrams took the lead in setting up protective formations, and at the same time, the five scabbards of the sword umbrella formed a shield in front of him.

The other five people who heard the call were about to approach, but who would have thought that five black shadows lay in front of them, forcing them to retreat with rapid and sharp attacks.

In an instant, the five people were forced to stay away from Jiang Yun.

Jiang Yun waited left and right for no one to come closer. Instead, he heard the sound of fighting from all directions. He bit his lip. He was unexpectedly separated and defeated one by one so quickly. He didn't even know who his opponent was.

Before he could think too much, a sharp and fast black shadow approached him.

"Bang!"

The black shadow that struck down fell heavily on the protective formation around Jiang Yun. Only then did Jiang Yun see the appearance of the black shadow clearly.

This is a dark and thick snake tail with sharp barbs at the end.

With just one blow from the snake's tail, the protective formation light curtain composed of five hundred formations in front of Jiang Yun began to shake violently, which clearly shows that this snake's tail's blow was at least at the level of the foundation-building realm.

Jiang Yun was greatly surprised.

From the villagers' mouths, they have never heard that there are pythons in this stone forest, and they have never heard of ferocious beasts attacking people.

"What the hell is this!"

As the python attacked for the second time, there was obviously an extra layer of spiritual energy on its tail. The snake's tail fell menacingly and hit the light screen hard.

"Bang!"

Just a bang was heard, and the formation light curtain shattered.

Jiang Yun was frightened and angry and hurriedly used his shield to block him, trying to retreat.

But he didn't expect that the snake's tail in front of him mysteriously disappeared without a trace, and at that second, there was a sound of breaking wind behind him.

"It's over."

Jiang Yun had no time to react and could only protect his head in a hurry.

The huge snake's tail instantly turned into a sharp whip shadow at an extremely fast speed, hitting Jiang Yun's back violently. Jiang Yun spit out a mouthful of blood and flew several meters away. After a struggle, he rolled his eyes and fainted.

.

I don't know how long it took.

Jiang Yun slowly woke up, opened his eyes in a daze, and then closed them unbearably because of the pain in his back.

After a moment of silence, he suddenly remembered that he was still fighting just now, and then he struggled to open his eyes.

The vast starry sky came into view, and the bright night sky made him couldn't help but take another look.

"Um?"

A clever little head suddenly entered his field of vision.

The little head was round, and the two big eyes looked at Jiang Yun curiously. The slender body extended backwards. The snake letter in his mouth flickered.

"Sisi"

This thing is actually a small black python!

Jiang Yun was shocked. Could it be that the snake that had just attacked him had entered its lair?

Just when he was about to struggle to get up, the little black snake on the side seemed to think that he was being slow, and actually used its tail to push Jiang Yun behind, causing him to sit up quickly.

"Hiss~~~"

But who knew that the position it pushed was exactly where Jiang Yun was injured, which caused Jiang Yun to gasp in pain.

"Sisi~"

The little black python looked at Jiang Yun, who was in great pain, at a loss. His little head was full of doubts. How could the human in front of him be so weak? What if he could just push him casually?

Jiang Yun didn't care about confronting the little snake and looked around hurriedly.

Only then did he really see the situation around him. He was actually lying in a large square. Apart from himself, there were densely packed people around him. Liu Yiyi, Huo Xiaoyu, Tuoba Jinghuan and others were among them.

There were nearly a hundred or so people lying in the huge square.

However, none of them made any movement, and he was the only one in the square who woke up at this time!

The most creepy thing is that in addition to the little black python with a tiger head and a tiger brain next to him, there are dozens of pythons that are densely distributed in the square and are swimming among the crowd.

These pythons appear to be the same species, but differ in size and temperament.

Around the square, there were several silent shadows standing. Jiang Yun was secretly wondering what was going on and why such a thing happened at the bloodthirsty gathering point.

Unexpectedly, those dark figures would also turn their attention to Jiang Yun, who woke up alone.

Jiang Yun, who was full of vigilance, suddenly saw the face of a person among the standing black figures. He didn't know why he felt familiar.

He vaguely remembered that the last time he saw this person, it seemed that he was... behind Wan Xiaohan?
