Who put the yellow robe on me?

"What is the 'God-Defying Formation'?" Jiang Chen asked Zhong Xiaodan in confusion.

Zhong Xiaodan looked at the surrounding trees and slowly explained, "The characteristic of this formation is that it reverses the direction, making people move forward but return to the starting point anyway.

The formation is based on heaven and earth, reversing the four directions, disrupting people's direction and distance, making it impossible for them to escape. Unless we can break this formation, we will be trapped in this area forever."

Jiang Chen frowned: "Then how do we break this formation?"

Zhong Xiaodan thought for a moment, then said firmly: "The key to breaking this formation is to find the array's eye. The array's eye is usually hidden in the center of the formation, or on some seemingly ordinary objects.

We need to look for unusual objects, such as trees placed upside down, stones arranged in reverse, or unusual flowers and plants. Only by finding the center of the formation can we truly break it."

Jiang Chen nodded, took a deep breath, and said calmly, "In that case, let's split up and carefully search for all possible clues. If we find anything unusual, report it immediately."

The team then dispersed, searching for possible formation points. Zhong Xiao, holding a dagger in one hand, continuously marked the trees and the ground. Everyone was on high alert, not missing a single suspicious object.

As time passed, the sky gradually brightened, and the sunlight cast mottled shadows through the dense leaves.

Suddenly, Xu Ningce stopped beside an ancient pine tree and whispered, "Your Highness, something is wrong here."

Jiang Chen and Zhong Xiaodan rushed over after hearing the sound, only to see that the branches of the pine tree were abnormal. The branches were broken off and buried next to the pine tree, forming a strange shape.

Zhong Xiaodan walked closer and took a closer look, his expression suddenly serious: "This is the center of the formation! The core of this formation is right here."

Jiang Chen's eyes flashed: "Great! Second Young Master, quickly, break the formation!"

Zhong Xiaodan drew out the long sword in his hand and stabbed it fiercely at the roots of the pine tree.

With a "crack" sound, the branches of the pine tree suddenly broke, and the surrounding air seemed to vibrate.

At that moment, the originally confusing forest gradually became clear, and the sunlight shone through the layers of leaves, illuminating the road ahead.

"It's done!" Zhong Xiaodan showed a victorious smile on his face.

Jiang Chen and others continued to move forward slowly in the dense forest. The trees around them were dense, with branches and leaves intertwined. The moist soil emitted a faint smell of mud, and occasionally the rustling sound of leaves rubbing against each other could be heard around them.

Just as they were moving forward with full concentration, three pairs of eyes in the jungle were quietly watching the group.

"He...they have already broken the formation. Big...Brother, should we...should we tell...tell General Zhuo Sai?" One of them asked in a low voice, his voice trembling slightly, and he seemed extremely nervous.

His eyes kept darting around, and he was obviously a little overwhelmed by the situation.

"Don't be impatient!" Another voice was low and firm, with a hint of unquestionable coldness.

"Then... what should we do? Should we... should we continue to beat... beat them?" The thin man's voice became lower and lower, and beads of sweat appeared on his palms.

"Ambush ahead!" The leading man gritted his teeth and whispered, his tone full of determination.

"Okay... okay, big brother! I'll... do it right away!" The thin man swallowed, then quickly looked at another fat follower behind him, and the two of them left quickly.

The two of them walked very briskly, and their figures disappeared into the shadows of the jungle almost instantly.

At the same time, Jiang Chen and his team continued to move forward steadily. As they walked, a different aura appeared in the depths of the forest.

"Your Highness, something seems amiss up ahead." Xu Ningce, sensing something unusual around him, whispered a warning. His hand involuntarily tightened around the hilt of his sword, his eyes scanning the surroundings warily.

Jiang Chen nodded slightly. He also felt the abnormal situation around him. The birds and beasts that were originally singing seemed to have suddenly flown away, and there was no sound of animals rubbing against each other in front.

There was an indescribable sense of oppression in the air, as if the entire forest was holding its breath, waiting for something.

This was also Jiang Chen's first time participating in such an operation, so he was inevitably a little nervous, and his hand holding the dagger was sweating.

Zhong Xiaodan immediately became alert and said to the soldiers accompanying him, "Everyone be careful, don't be careless!"

As soon as he finished speaking, before anyone could react, suddenly, a sharp sound of breaking through the air came from a distance. The sound was swift and deadly, like the call of the god of death.

Jiang Chen's pupils suddenly contracted, his intuition telling him that danger was approaching. His hand unconsciously tightened around the dagger at his waist, and his feet quickly slipped, falling behind a thick tree trunk.

"Whoosh-whoosh-whoosh-"

The whistling sound of the bow and arrow was sharp and piercing, and it passed by with the sound of the wind, as if tearing apart the silent forest.

Dozens of arrows followed closely behind, falling from the sky like a rainstorm, dense and dense, and rushing towards the crowd with a biting chill.

"Enemy attack! Disperse!" Zhong Xiaodan quickly waved his hand to signal everyone to disperse, and at the same time drew out his long sword to strike back the rain of arrows flying in the sky.

Jiang Chen's heart was beating wildly, almost jumping out of his chest, but he still forced himself to stay calm and watched the overwhelming rain of arrows from behind the tree.

"Find cover quickly!" Zhong Xiaodan's voice was not panicked at all. He quickly waved his hand to signal everyone to take cover, and he hid behind a thick tree trunk as agile as a falcon, avoiding the first wave of deadly arrows.

However, the rain of arrows did not stop even though they dodged. Dense arrows flew from all directions like the tentacles of a demon, seemingly wanting to devour them completely.

Each arrow carries the breath of death, and the whistling sound of it cutting through the air echoes in the ears, which is terrifying.

Jiang Chen did not dare to be careless at all. He quickly used his dagger to cut through several arrows that were about to hit him, making crisp metal collision sounds.

He could feel the intense force of every swing, and every time he dodged the deadly arrow, it was a thrilling brush with death.

He quickly glanced around, trying to find a relatively safe place.

At this moment, he saw Zhong Xiaodan leaning over like a falcon, his finger quickly fitting a shadow arrow, his bow drawn like a full moon, his eyes sharply locked onto several blurry black shadows in the distant jungle.

The bowstring trembled slightly, and without any pause, three Shadow Howling Arrows were shot out at the same time, like sharp arrows shot from a bow, cutting through the air and heading straight for the target with a sharp sound of breaking wind.

"Boo-boo-boo-"

Almost in an instant, three arrows streaked through the shadows of the jungle and accurately hit the enemy's body.

Only a few short muffled groans were heard in the distance, and then three enemies hiding in the jungle fell to the ground one after another, making a dull sound, as if the sound of trees being cut down echoed in the valley.

There was no expression on Zhong Xiaodan's face, as if the fatal shooting just now was just a daily practice.

As he drew his bow again, several more Shadow Howling Arrows were quickly shot out. Each arrow seemed to have its own life, accurately locking onto the target, and then shooting down the enemy with lightning speed.

"Awesome!" Jiang Chen exclaimed in a low voice. He knew that Zhong Xiaodan's archery skills had already reached perfection, and every arrow was extremely accurate and deadly.

Those enemies just now were killed by Zhong Xiaodan's Shadow Howling Arrow before they even revealed their complete figures.

Suddenly, the rain of arrows stopped, as if the attack had never happened.

The surroundings were so quiet that only the rustling of leaves in the wind could be heard, which made people feel a chill.
