Chapter 416: Who Can Sleep With Such A Loud Sound?
The stones here had all been corroded, and they had become all kinds of strange shapes. Moreover, there were many holes in each stone.
In the middle of the night, under the moonlight, there were shadows everywhere, looking like a group of demons dancing. Coupled with the sound of the wind passing through the limestone cave, it was extremely sinister.
Chu Luo tapped her toes and jumped onto a rock.
Standing on it, what appeared in front of her was an endless strange stone forest.
“Phoenix, go and see how this stone forest is distributed.”
Phoenix responded in her mind. Then, a red light flashed across her wrist and instantly spread out.
After a few minutes, the red light returned to Chu Luo’s wrist.
“Mistress, the stone forest here is constantly changing. It’s being controlled by an invisible magnetic field.”
Hearing this, Chu Luo thought for a while and said, “Show me what you saw.”
As soon as she finished speaking, an image appeared in her mind.
The stone forest was indeed moving. At a glance, it was moving without any pattern. However, Chu Luo believed that since this was natural, it was impossible for it to be without any pattern.
She planned to study how to break this array when she returned.
Suddenly, she thought of something. “Phoenix, when you were investigating the terrain just now, did you see where Sun Tianhao and the others were?”
“In the southeast.”
“The southeast?”
Chu Luo recalled the entire terrain in her mind. The southeast direction was a deviation from the direction they were going.
However, they might be able to walk out by tomorrow morning.
So Chu Luo didn’t intend to do anything. She turned around and returned.
When Chu Luo returned, the tents had just been set up and the bodyguards were preparing dinner.
Li Yan and Lu Feng stood under a huge rock at the edge of the tent.
When Chu Luo walked over, she happened to hear Lu Feng say to Li Yan, “Mr. Li, I observed carefully just now. The wind tonight should be especially strong. Once the wind gets strong, the road inside will change drastically. We have to walk in another direction tomorrow.”
Li Yan asked him, “Which direction?”
“I can’t be sure yet. I have to confirm the direction of the wind carefully tonight. I have to look again tomorrow morning.”
When Chu Luo heard this, she walked over.
“Mrs. Li.”
Lu Feng and Chu Luo greeted each other and returned to the tent.
Chu Luo and Li Yan were still standing under the very tall stone. The evening wind was a little strong and they could hear the rumbling coming from the stone.
Chu Luo said, “I checked the terrain here just now. Like Lu Feng said, the terrain is constantly changing.”
“Have you found the exit?”
“No. When I investigated, I could only feel the terrain inside. There’s a huge magnetic field inside.”
She then pulled Li Yan’s hand and the two of them walked behind the rock. “I’ll show you the terrain I saw just now.”
The two of them walked to an open space at the back. Chu Luo tapped her finger on the ground and a red light floated past. The scene that appeared in her mind appeared on the ground.
Li Yan looked at it seriously. Chu Luo said, “Look, this place is like a stone forest array, but there’s no pattern at all.”
After a while, Li Yan gestured to Chu Luo. “Luoluo, use the wind to blow in from all directions.”
Chu Luo immediately followed his instructions.
“Blow harder.”
The wind blew on the conjured pattern. Just as Chu Luo felt that it was about to blow the pattern away, Li Yan made her stop.
After stopping, Chu Luo widened her eyes in surprise. “So this change is actually created by the effects of the wind.”
“Right. So we just have to know what wind will blow tonight and which direction the wind will come from.”
After Li Yan finished speaking, the two of them walked back.
Li Yan found Lu Feng and asked him, “What did you use to confirm the direction of the wind tonight?”
Lu Feng quickly took out the compass-like thing he had used previously and said to the two of them, “This is an omnipotent compass that us guides need. It determines the direction of the wind very accurately.”
“Very good. Then, carefully determine the direction tonight.”
“Okay.”
After the meal, everyone returned to their tent.
Indeed, a strong gust of wind quickly blew. The wind passed through the cracks in the stone and occasionally let out whining sounds like children crying at night, or the wailing of wolves.
This sound was even louder and more terrifying than before. Chu Luo nudged her head in Li Yan’s arms as she said, “No wonder Lu Feng made everyone cover their ears at night. Who can sleep with such a loud sound?”
Li Yan lowered his eyes to look at her head and pulled her closer. “Do you want to cover your ears?”
“No need. Actually, you don’t have to as well. As long as you’ve studied internal energy, you can use it to seal your five senses.”
Li Yan merely responded with an “Mm”.
The two of them closed their eyes and slept.
In the middle of the night, a terrifying scream came from outside the tent amid the wailing.
Chu Luo and Li Yan opened their eyes at the same time.
“This person seems to be controlled by something,” Chu Luo said.
“Let’s go take a look.”
The two of them put on their coats and walked out of the tent. They saw a bodyguard hugging his bare chest and shouting in the cold wind. Flashes were lit in the other tents. Lu Feng leaned against the entrance of the tent and stuck his head out to shout at everyone, “Don’t go out, don’t go out. This person is possessed. If you go out, you will be infected.”
The others didn’t dare to move.
When Lu Feng saw Chu Luo and Li Yan, he also shouted at them.
Chu Luo smelled something unusual in the wind and said to Li Yan, “Yan, seal your five senses. I’ll signal to you later, and you can come over and bring him back to the tent.”
Li Yan nodded at her and immediately sealed his five senses.
Chu Luo walked towards that person.
Not only was that person shouting, but his face was also covered in snot and tears, as if he had encountered something that made him break down.
After Chu Luo walked over, she quickly stuck a talisman on his face and gestured to Li Yan.
Li Yan walked over and carried that person to a tent before throwing him in.
Chu Luo quickly took out a talisman and stuck it on the stones all around. Soon, the aura of this space changed, and even the sound of the wind became much softer.
She gestured for Li Yan to release his five senses.
After Li Yan did so, he walked towards her.
“I’ve sealed the magnetic field in this space. This way, no one can feel anything.”
“What was that just now?”
“The magnetic effect of the wind and the stones here affected that person.”
Li Yan nodded and turned to look at Lu Feng, who only had his head outside the tent. He asked, “Can you still determine the direction of the wind?”
Lu Feng also sensed that there was no danger, so he walked out of the tent.
He put the things on him on the ground, turned around, and pressed his ear against the ground.
After a while, he said, “Yes.”
“That’s good. Go rest first.”
Only then did everyone continue to rest.
As Chu Luo’s talisman blocked the magnetic field, everyone slept well that night.
The next morning, the wind stopped.
The sunlight shone through the stone forest, giving people a gentle and sunny feeling.
The group continued on their way.
With Lu Feng’s judgment of the wind direction and Chu Luo’s deduction, everyone walked for half a day before arriving at the exit of the Karst landscape.
On one side was a strange stone forest, and on the other was sand.
Chu Luo glanced at the stone forest and guessed, “Uncle Sun and the others probably haven’t come out yet.”
Then, she turned to ask Li Yan, “Should we wait?”
“We’ll leave in two hours.”
Chu Luo and the others definitely wouldn’t wait at a place where they could be seen at a glance.
Everyone hid behind the stone.
Two hours later, they still didn’t come out.
Li Yan asked Lu Feng, “Can you sense if anyone is inside?”
“I’ll try hearing. As long as the people inside aren’t far from us, I’ll be able to hear them.”
After saying that, Lu Feng pressed his ear to the ground and listened.
After a while, he said, “Someone’s coming out.”
Everyone waited for nearly half an hour. Indeed, a large group of people came out of the stone forest.
She watched as a few people from the Duanmu and Qin family were supported or carried out.
Chu Luo smiled unkindly.
These people were obviously frightened last night.
In the end, she saw Duanmu Tian, who had been carried out. Duanmu Tian looked extremely pitiful. There were dark bruises on his lips and eyes. He exuded a gloomy aura and looked like he had been soaked in ink.
At this moment, Duanmu Tianhao looked at Sun Tianhao as if he wanted to eat him up. It was obvious that he had been beaten up by Sun Tianhao.
Sensing his gaze, Sun Tianhao suddenly flashed an extremely evil smile at him. Then, he said loudly, “Duanmu Tian, don’t look at me like that. I was possessed last night, that’s why I beat someone up. Didn’t the guide say that the wind last night carried a sinister aura?”
Duanmu Tian’s expression twisted even more. He wished he could jump down and kill Sun Tianhao.
However, Third Master Duanmu’s expression was very calm. After discovering Duanmu Tian’s expression, he berated, “Xiao Tian, enough is enough.”
Duanmu Tian immediately lowered his eyes to conceal the murderous aura.
The corners of Sun Tianhao’s lips curled up into a sneer. Then, he turned around and looked into the stone forest.. He strode towards Third Master Sun while humming a song.
