Chapter 1475: Charging Into the Formation

The road ahead was also not easy to walk.

Although they had not encountered any Corpse Demons for the time being, formations were densely spread throughout Death Valley, and the talisman beasts used for scouting usually could not last even half an hour.

Even though Ye Liuyun had mastered the route that Lu Xiang had previously taken, the formations were constantly changing; some formations could not be passed by using the same method at all.

At this point, Guo Da became the main force for scouting the path for the team.

"Don't let the feral beasts scout the path anymore; it's useless, there are too many formations here!"

Guo Da reminded A Ya.

Thus, the group no longer sent feral beasts to scout the path, but instead followed Guo Da, slowly advancing forward.

At this moment, Guo Da led the group, turning left and right, but they could not find a way out.

"Ahead is a great formation; no matter which direction you go, you will eventually enter this formation. We can only pass by entering the formation." Guo Da told the group.

His formation skill was still insufficient to break all formations; he could handle some simple ones, but most of the time Guo Da would discover a formation and lead the group to detour around it.

This time, they could not detour around it.

"Moreover, this great formation is extremely complex; it is likely a severe test for everyone."

Guo Da had the group prepare themselves mentally.

"Since we can't avoid it, let's charge through. I'll take the lead!" Ye Liuyun walked to the front of the group again, leading everyone into the great formation.

Inside the formation, the scenery was completely different from outside: everywhere were lush trees and flowers, bright sunshine, abundant spiritual energy, a scene like a paradise beyond the world.

The Ten Thousand Gods Command in Ye Liuyun's Sea of Consciousness immediately burst forth with radiant light.

"It's an Illusion Array! Stay close to me, no matter what happens, don't fall behind!" Ye Liuyun reminded the group.

"This place is practically a fairyland!" Luo Yun exclaimed.

But at this moment, in Ye Liuyun's eyes, everything was still the same as before, with withered trees everywhere.

"It's fake! Don't believe anything!" Ye Liuyun warned the group.

Under the effect of the Ten Thousand Gods Command, his Divine Sense was clear, and he could see no illusions.

But the others, affected by the Illusion Realm, although Ye Liuyun reminded them it was all fake, still couldn't help looking around and admiring the scenery.

"Are there any medicinal herbs?" Luo Yun cried out, wanting to try to pick them.

"Don't move!" Ye Liuyun and Guo Da shouted in unison to stop her.

Luo Yun was frightened and immediately retracted her hand.

Ye Liuyun could see that the medicinal herb Luo Yun saw was nothing but a withered dry branch.

But Guo Da reminded Luo Yun: "Moving anything in the Illusion Array will trigger the formation, causing it to change even more."

"Your willpower is so weak!" Meng Zhangxing said to Luo Yun: "Even with all these beautiful women beckoning to me, I remain unmoved!"

"You had better close off your senses and follow me!" Ye Liuyun suggested.

Although they could still control their desires for now, over time that might not hold.

Thus, several people closed their eyes, shut off their hearing and sense of smell, and communicated with each other using Divine Sense.

This way, they were affected much less, and their pace of advance quickened considerably.

Suddenly, Ye Liuyun felt he smelled a strange fragrance.

Since he was not affected by the Illusion Realm, this indicated that the fragrance was real.

But the sudden appearance of this fragrance certainly meant something was amiss.

So Ye Liuyun immediately asked Luo Yun.

Luo Yun immediately opened her sense of smell, took a sniff, and then promptly closed it again.

Immediately afterward, she took a pill and gave one to Ye Liuyun.

"This is the fragrance of the Purple Cloud Flower; it's not poisonous, but it can cause people to faint!"

At this point, Ye Liuyun already felt drowsy, his eyes barely able to stay open.

After receiving the pill, he immediately took it. A cool sensation spread through his body, making him shiver, but he quickly regained consciousness.

"That was close!" Ye Liuyun, still feeling uneasy, cautiously led everyone onward.

Not far along, another waft of poisonous smoke drifted over.

This time, Ye Liuyun didn't need to warn the others; he directly absorbed the poisonous smoke and transformed it into his own toxin source.

"The design of this formation here is extremely vicious. The designer anticipated that someone might be able to resist illusion techniques, and thus used this method in an attempt to eliminate those who could resist illusion."

"If you are eliminated, we will all be trapped in the formation. Therefore, right now, you are the most in danger!" Guo Da analyzed.

Meng Zhangxing also said at this time: "How come I feel a bit chilly?"

Others felt the same, but only Ye Liuyun noticed nothing unusual.

"Let me see what the situation is around us now." Meng Zhangxing tried opening his eyes to take a look.

"Ah!" he exclaimed, and immediately closed his eyes again!

"What's wrong? What did you see?" everyone urgently asked.

"It's hell! All around are skeletons and Yin Souls!" Meng Zhangxing told everyone what he saw.

"Fake!" Ye Liuyun affirmed, and then had everyone also shut off their sense of touch.

"After we shut off touch, we'll have no sensation at all. Then this formation might present new traps, especially mechanisms, so you need to be extra careful." Guo Da reminded Ye Liuyun.

"Okay!" Ye Liuyun agreed; the road ahead, he walked slowly, and at the same time had to use his Divine Sense to guide the group.

His Golden Pupil also surveyed the road ahead, even looking into the ground and inside the trees to check for traps.

At this moment, a deep chasm appeared before them, with a single-log bridge wide enough for one person connecting the two banks.

Ye Liuyun used his Golden Pupil and Divine Sense to scan for half a day, then stopped.

"What's wrong?" Meng Zhangxing and the others asked Ye Liuyun.

"There is a log bridge ahead, but there is a mechanism trap there." Ye Liuyun explained.

They are now in a dilemma. Ye Liuyun himself can get past, relying on his strong Physical Body and Golden Pupil, he can dodge or withstand attacks, but others cannot.

If they don't open their senses, a slight mistake will make them fall off the bridge. But if they open their senses, they will be affected by the Illusion Realm.

Especially Meng Zhangxing, he can solve mechanisms; this is something he is relatively good at. But once he opens his senses, he will be affected by the Illusion Realm.

"I'll send you the information I see; you tell me how to solve it, and we'll see if this method works." Ye Liuyun suggested.

"Alright, let's give it a try!" Meng Zhangxing also agreed.

Ye Liuyun and Meng Zhangxing spent a long time before transmitting all the information Ye Liuyun saw to Meng Zhangxing; Meng Zhangxing also came to understand all the mechanisms Ye Liuyun saw and studied how to solve them.

Finally, Meng Zhangxing said to Ye Liuyun: "We must first destroy the crossbow arrows on the two cliffs before we can proceed to solve the mechanism on the bridge."
