Chapter 1681 Trouble
Detecting this, Chu Liuyue squinted her eyes slightly. That\'s weird… This type of feeling is indeed strange. Originally, I didn\'t like that wall and felt uneasy, but the nearer I go now, the calmer I become.
I even had a faint sense of familiarity. I also don\'t know where this feeling is coming from, but I don\'t hate it. Could it be… because of the stones I collected earlier? After all, they have existed here for thousands of years and should be very familiar with everything here.
However…
Chu Liuyue felt that something was amiss. She felt that she had neglected something important, yet she couldn\'t recall it.
These messy thoughts kept flashing across Chu Liuyue\'s mind, but she didn\'t stop in her tracks.
At some moment, Chu Liuyue finally realized that the air before her had changed slightly.
She paused in her tracks and reached out. Many ripples extended toward the surroundings, with her fingers in the middle.
"This is a barrier," said Chu Liuyue affirmatively. Additionally, its suppression doesn\'t seem weak.
As it was transparent and nighttime, it was hard to detect. She only realized that something was wrong when she reached it.
But… this barrier doesn\'t seem like it has any threat?
Rong Xiu pulled her hand. At the same time, he whipped his sleeves, and the barrier instantly disappeared.
He walked to the front, raised his brows slightly, and nonchalantly smiled as he said, "Perhaps it\'s an accidental barrier that was formed due to turbulence and the intersection of the many forces left behind in the God-Killing Tumulus. There\'s nothing to worry about."
Chu Liuyue nodded in acknowledgment. Wasn\'t Ancestor previously taken away by the turbulence? In this place, all sorts of intertwining forces have accumulated for countless years, so it\'s normal for such a situation to happen. Besides, I really didn\'t detect much threat from that barrier.
She very quickly forgot about this incident and continued walking forward.
…
After they left, about an hour later, a few figures appeared here—it was Nan Yuxing\'s group.
Their faces weren\'t great, especially Elder Bai Tong, whose face was especially pale.
His shin was cut short, and he could only rely on one leg to walk.
During this entire journey, he was undoubtedly the one who suffered the most. Even if he had used superior pills, his injury was too serious. Besides, he couldn\'t grow another shin in such a short amount of time.
It was inevitable that he would suffer.
Elder Wu Peng glanced at him and said, "Why don\'t we rest for a while?"
"No!" Elder Bai Tong hurriedly rejected this suggestion and looked guilty. "They\'re not slow in walking, and we\'ve already lagged behind by quite a bit because of me. If we rest again, we\'ll be delayed even more."
Elder Wu Peng knitted his brows, but he couldn\'t deny that it was the truth.
"What are they planning to do? Are they not resting at night and walking all the way?"
Nan Yuxing was also dissatisfied.
Even though his injury was lighter than Elder Bai Tong, with so much walking, he couldn\'t handle it either.
Originally, they were worried that Rong Xiu and the rest would discover them if they were too close. However, they later realized that they were thinking too much. That was because it was already very forceful if they didn\'t lose them with their current speed!
How could they care about anything else?
The more hateful thing was that those few people didn\'t even stop at such a time! If this continued, who could tolerate it?
Elder Wu Peng looked at Nan Yiyi. "Second Missy, what are the results of your checks?"
Nan Yiyi pressed her lips against each other tightly. "That item… has indeed been walking with them."
At this stage, she could almost ascertain that the item was with them! Even though it sounded incredulous…
Nan Yiyi had followed them for a distance and wouldn\'t be mistaken. This also meant that they had to follow Rong Xiu and the rest to find a chance to get the item back!
If it were them in their prime, perhaps it might not be too much of a problem. But now… Even if they worked together, they probably wouldn\'t be their match…
Nan Yiyi stomped her feet in frustration. "If we knew this earlier, we should\'ve asked Father to bring more people over… Ah!"
Before she could finish her sentence, she suddenly felt a weight on her body as if a ton of items were pressing down on her shoulders!
Her groan instantly alerted the other people.
"Yiyi!"
"Second Missy!"
Nan Yiyi clenched her teeth and forcefully tried to stand up as she anxiously looked at her surroundings.
The countless ripples moved as if it formed a gigantic cage that trapped her—no, not only her! Elder Wu Peng and the rest were also in the region!
"This is—"
"Barrier!" Elder Wu Peng hollered. At the same time, he whipped his sleeves, wanting to bring Nan Yiyi out.
However, the surrounding space became heavy and stiff, and every action was much harder than before.
The moment he moved, there seemed to be countless pairs of hands in the surroundings crazily pulling and trapping him to the spot.
Elder Wu Peng felt amiss as he hurriedly circulated his force. However, it was to no avail.
Nan Yuxing and Elder Bai Tong also quickly sank into it.
The few of them were restrained by the strange barrier! Every step they took was much more agonizing than before.
"What\'s going on?!" Nan Yuxing was in a panic and anxious. Previously, Rong Xiu and the rest walked through this place normally, and this situation didn\'t happen at all!
Elder Wu Peng clenched his teeth and said, "The nearby Heaven and Earth Force is in a mess, so this situation happened. It would be hard to get rid of it in a short amount of time."
Even he can\'t do it? Nan Yuxing\'s heart sank. "Then, why did it seem like nothing happened to Rong Xiu and the rest?"
We watched the few of them walk across this area!
Elder Wu Peng\'s face was stern, and he knitted his brows tightly.
He also wanted to know the reason.
During the entire journey, he had been walking at the front and saw the clearest. But from start to end, he didn\'t notice anything amiss.
Who knew that there was such trouble here?
He looked up and secretly clenched his teeth. "This situation won\'t be dangerous, but it will greatly slow our progress. This time… I\'m afraid we won\'t be able to catch up with them."
"How can this do?" Nan Yuxing was instantly anxious. "Don\'t forget that the item is very likely with them!"
