My Breathtaking CEO Wife Novel - Chapter 424
Chapter 424: A familiar feeling
In the next two hours, they didn’t encounter anything like what they had encountered today and yesterday. The monk even caught a few pheasants and a wild rabbit. It was good news to them that they could finally see some animals in this forest. At least it proved that there was no Overlord in this area. Although it might be a little dangerous at night, the danger could be controlled.
After starting the fire, the four of them were prepared to rest for about 16 hours. Li Tian’s body recovered very quickly, and with the help of the spirit king’s special medicinal powder, the effect was already very obvious. Otherwise, with such serious injuries, how could normal people have the strength to climb the mountain?
Li Tian’s wound had only split open a little. If he had 16 hours of rest, perhaps his wound would have completely healed by tomorrow.
Even though it would take a day or two for Li Tian to recover, at least he wouldn’t cause any more trouble for the team.
It was a sumptuous night. Pheasants and wild rabbits were very nutritious for Li Tian. In the past, when he was hungry in the desert, the food would be very delicious. If he could find food in the desert, it would also be a kind of spiritual encouragement.
In this team, everyone had their own duties. Li Tian and the monk were in charge of strategy and battle, while the little ghost and the ghost king were mainly in charge of supporting. Li Tian didn’t feel that it was embarrassing to not know a lot of things. He wasn’t omnipotent, and if that were the case, he wouldn’t have any friends at all.
If a person was so outstanding that no one needed them, that would be the loneliest.
Having a good meal and a good night’s sleep was what Li Tian needed the most right now. Since he was injured, he left the Sentry duties to seven and little ghost. The two of them took turns to keep watch. After all, 16 hours was more than enough for them to rest.
The next day, Li Tian woke up at 10 am and went back to sleep
Li Tian slept all the way until the afternoon. He stretched his arms and felt the wound on his back. Although it still hurt a little, it was almost completely healed. Even if he climbed a mountain again, the wound wouldn’t split open.
The ghost king was in charge of Li Tian for the time being. It was inevitable that Li Tian would lose his mind after being injured. In addition, Li Tian had slept for so long that he didn’t have a clear understanding of his surroundings, so it was best to hand him over to the ghost king.
Don’t think that this was a small matter. A small mistake could bring the team to eternal damnation. Especially in this place, they could not possibly have any help or rescue.
Perhaps, after sleeping for 16 hours, Li Tian didn’t even know where he was. After all, this kind of temporary memory had a time limit.
The speed of the four people was obviously much faster. By Sixo’ clock in the afternoon, they had climbed nearly 1500 meters again. Most importantly, they didn’t encounter any more strange things on the way.
The journey was very safe, except for some poisonous snakes and cloud leopards. They didn’t encounter any creatures on the level of chameleons.
They were already used to facing ordinary animals and had the ability to avoid or resist them. They were most afraid of things that they had never seen before. Because they didn’t understand, they didn’t have the confidence.
As they walked, they entered a pine forest. The higher the altitude, the fewer plants there were. Pine forests were able to adapt to the climate at high altitudes, so it was not too strange for them to appear here.
However, as soon as they entered the pine forest, the ghost king immediately called for them to stop.
“There’s a problem! ”
The ghost king only said one sentence, and the monk immediately became alert.
“That’s not right. There are other creatures living here. What’s the problem?”
The monk raised his head and saw the bird’s nest on the tree and the animals shuttling back and forth in the forest.
“I’m not talking about that. It’s just that there’s something wrong with this pine forest. Do you know where we are standing at this time?”
“What position?”
“Swish!”
“Are you reading my fortune?”
“This forest is an eight-trigram array. We just happened to be standing on the Qian position, so we can’t go any further. Once we enter this array, it’s very likely that we won’t be able to get out.”
Formations were commonly used in ancient military Wars. However, some people later developed some more exotic formations that could be used to kill and trap people.
In fact, it was just a smokescreen. After you entered the formation, your sense of direction would be confused, and you would be guided by the formation to walk on the path you thought was ‘correct’. The result would be that you would never be able to find the exit.
“Then what should we do? there’s only one road here. The other two sides are cliffs.”
There was only one path to the top of the mountain, so it was a path they had to pass.
“Wait here for a moment. I have some understanding of this array. Let’s see if I can find the array eye and break it.”
Hua Xia’s culture was really broad and profound. Just a Book of Zhou Yi had captivated countless people. The formations and names described in it had made many people rich and respected by the world because of studying the Zhou Yi.
The ghost king slowly took a step forward, following a strange pattern. For example, Li Tian noticed that the ghost king took a few steps forward, then to the left, then to the back, and then to the right.
In the end, he returned to his original position. He looked a little confused, but the ghost king was deeply trapped and did not seem to realize that he had returned.
After the ghost king tested it a few times, he became more and more surprised. When he found something in the array, his entire brain was instantly stunned.
It was a Grape Tree, a wild grape. The fruit it bore was the kind that was unpalatable.
However, it was this grape vine that made him freeze on the spot.
That’s right, he’d just tested the waters and felt that the grapevines should be where the eye of the formation was.
But Who was it that liked to use grapevines as the eye of the formation?
Suddenly, the ghost king’s thoughts drifted away.
“Father, what’s the deal with this formation?”
“This is a very famous Eight Trigrams Formation, a perfect combination of the ten Heavenly Stems and the twelve earthly branches. Don’t underestimate it. Once you walk in, you will definitely not be able to get out. You will only be able to walk in circles.”
“Why? It’s so small, I can walk out of it in a few steps, right?”
“Haha, little Ming, things are not as simple as you think. You are still young.
When you grow up, I will tell you the secret.”
“Then I’ll grow up quickly. By the way, what’s this grape vine for?”
“This This is the core of the entire Eight Trigrams Formation. As long as we pull this grape vine up, the entire formation will be broken.” “Why grapevines?”
“Your grandfather gave this to me. I don’t know why either..”
