Fang Xiuyuan looked at Xia Youning, not daring to speak, so he could only signal Xia Youning with his eyes and gestures.

Xia Youning didn't expect that An Jiaxu would be so cautious and wait until almost time to come over to look at the formation.

Could it be that they were too reckless during their exploration in the afternoon?

But now is not the time to think about these things. If An Jiaxu stands here for more than an hour, their six hours of waiting in the afternoon will be in vain.

Xia Youning hinted to Fang Xiuyuan to go to the front yard and make some noise to lure An Jiaxu away.

Xia Youning's gestures were quite complicated and Fang Xiuyuan didn't understand them.

Seeing Fang Xiuyuan standing there in a daze, Xia Youning knew that he didn't see it, so she had to go to the front yard and make some noise herself.

Fang Xiuyuan didn't understand Xia Youning's gesture just now, and when he saw Xia Youning was about to leave, he hurried to follow her, but was stopped by Xia Youning.

Xia Youning walked to the front yard and saw the teacup on the table. Without thinking, she swept the teacup to the ground and then quickly returned to the formation.

As expected, An Jiaxu did not disappoint. When he heard the sound of teacups breaking in the front yard, he left immediately.

Xia Youning took Fang Xiuyuan and quickly entered the formation. Unlike Wang Binbin who entered accidentally, Xia Youning did not attract An Jiaxu's attention when she entered.

An Jiaxu's entire attention was now on the broken teacup he had smashed.

He had been using that set of teacups since the late Ming Dynasty, for more than three hundred years, and it was also his favorite set of teacups. He didn't expect that it would be broken like this.

Who did it?

But in his yard, there was no animal that could have dropped the quilt on the ground, and there wasn't even a mouse or fly.

Thinking of the unusual movements in the formation in the afternoon, he guessed that someone wanted to rescue the person trapped in the formation and wanted to make some noise to lure him away.

But when he came over from the formation, he didn't see anyone.

If he wanted to go to the backyard, he had to take this route. The person who wanted to distract him was still in the front yard.

After thinking this, he quickly closed the door to the backyard and looked for someone in the yard.

He had no idea that Xia Youning had already passed him by and gone to the backyard.

It’s just that Xia Youning was invisible and he couldn’t see her.

Xia Youning had already brought Fang Xiuyuan into the formation, but six hours later, Wang Binbin was no longer in the position where he had just entered the formation.

This is a boundless desert. The footprints of people quickly disappear. There is no end in sight in several directions. Xia Youning and Fang Xiuyuan have no idea which direction Wang Binbin went.

Fang Xiuyuan had no idea about formations. He looked at the endless desert and said:

"Xia Youning, are you sure we can find Wang Binbin and get out smoothly?"

"Just before we came in, I saw that An Jiaxu's yard was not very big. How could there be such a large desert?"

Xia Youning said to Fang Xiuyuan:

"Think of Wang Binbin in your heart, and then write a word in the desert."

Fang Xiuyuan was thinking about Wang Binbin and just wanted to sigh, so he wrote the word "Oh" on the ground.

Xia Youning looked at the word. In less than a minute, the word was filled with sand again and disappeared.

Xia Youning counted with her left hand, then said:

"Let's go, we're heading north."

After saying that, he walked in one direction.

Fang Xiuyuan didn't know how Xia Youning figured out the direction of north, nor did he know how she determined that direction was north in this desert with no reference points.

But fortunately, he knew that Xia Youning would not do anything without confidence, so he followed Xia Youning.

Xia Youning was walking in the desert, feeling the loose sand under her feet, she stopped and looked at Fang Xiuyuan.

Before Fang Xiuyuan could say anything, Xia Youning tied Fang Xiuyuan up with a rope made of spiritual power.

Fang Xiuyuan looked at the rope tied around his wrist and was shocked. This was condensed spiritual power. Xia Youning was already strong enough to materialize spiritual power.

Before Fang Xiuyuan asked, Xia Youning explained to him:

"This rope can save your life if you are in danger and suddenly get stuck in the sand."

"Otherwise, if you get lost, I can find you through this rope."

In Xia Youning's previous life, when she was in the sect, she basically didn't have to take action. The only time she was needed to take action, she was sent here.

She seldom takes the initiative to care about others. The last time she cared about someone was before she died in her previous life, when she saved a child who had been waiting outside the sect and wanted to become a disciple to learn skills.

Xia Youning was not used to saying sentimental words, so after explaining the purpose of the rope, she turned around and continued walking forward.

Although Fang Xiuyuan didn't have much contact with Xia Youning, he found that Xia Youning was usually very nice to others, and would not say anything even if she was misunderstood.

Just like now, it was obviously because he was worried that he would encounter danger that he wasted his spiritual energy to tie him up with such a rope.

He knew that Wang Binbin's safety was more important now, so he quickly chased in the direction of Xia Youning.

The space in the formation is not like the space they live in.

Before they entered the formation, the space outside was already almost dark.

But they walked in the desert for almost two more hours, and the sun above their heads did not change at all.

There was desert in front and behind, and the scenery around was all the same. If Xia Youning hadn't been walking in front, he would not have been able to tell where he was by himself.

He also wondered if he hadn't moved at all, but the soreness in his legs reminded him that he had been walking for a long time.

Xia Youning also noticed all of this. If a person with a weak mind came into this place, he would be driven crazy by the scene before him without waiting for him to starve to death.

No matter how long we walked or which direction we went, the scenery we saw was the same, as if we could never get out of this desert.

Really having no sense of direction, Fang Xiuyuan took out a compass from his bag and looked at their direction.

But I found that the compass didn't work here and didn't move at all.

"Xia Youning, compasses don't work in this desert. Are you sure Wang Binbin is going in this direction?"

Xia Youning also felt a little tired, so she stopped to rest for a while and explained to Fang Xiuyuan:

"Anything that helps you identify directions here will fail. Even if it doesn't fail, the direction it points you to may not be correct."

"I asked you to write before just to determine the direction he is in now."

"I have a sense of direction here because I am familiar with these formations. Although this formation is exquisite, the ability of the person who sets it up is limited. He can only create these disturbing scenes, rather than offensive settings."

"If I were to set up such a formation, I would arrange a different killing formation for each scene. If someone leaves, they will die. If they don't leave, they will also die."
