I asked you to go down the mountain and get married, not to shock the world!

Everyone packed up their luggage and followed Jinman into the depths of the valley.

Along the way, their teasing gradually died down, and no one was talking non-stop like before.

Everyone looked around vigilantly.

The red vines grew thicker and thicker, entwining the rock wall like streaks of solidified blood.

The fire spirit in the air was so thick that it almost turned into substance, and inhaling it brought a burning and stinging sensation to the lungs.

This time, not only Jinman felt it, but the other disciples also noticed it.

After walking for about an incense stick of time, the expected monster did not appear. The surroundings were so quiet that only the sounds of people's footsteps and breathing could be heard.

This strange silence made many disciples feel uneasy. Some couldn't help but mutter, "Elder Jin, why aren't there even a single small monster? Didn't that Molten Beast just now live in groups?"

"Logically, there should be a few more groups. We're all ready, but it's so quiet..."

Jin Man frowned slightly, and the light golden spiritual power at his fingertips flashed more and more frequently.

"Something's wrong. The fire spirit is clearly gathering ahead, but there's not even a trace of animal spiritual power fluctuation."

She stopped and looked around, "Do you feel...that this road seems to have been taken before?"

After she reminded them, everyone was stunned.

Mingchuan also stopped and looked intently.

The crooked tree with three circles of vines wrapped around it in front clearly appeared on the left half an hour ago!

"Oh my god, isn't this a ghost wall?" one disciple cried out, "We're just going in circles!"

Jin Man squatted down, brushed his fingertips across the gravel on the ground, and soon felt a faint trace of spiritual power.

"It's not a ghost wall, it's a magic array. Someone has set up a maze here, specifically to confuse people."

A cluster of purple-gold flames ignited at her fingertips and pointed at the lines on the ground. The moment the flames touched the lines, they bounced back as if they had encountered a barrier.

She gasped, "This formation is driven by fire-attributed spiritual energy, blending seamlessly with the surrounding fire spirit energy. No wonder we couldn't detect it."

Mingchuan also leaned in to inspect it, and the blood dragon within him suddenly spoke, "There's something special about this formation. It's drawn with the juice of the Burning Heaven Vine, and it absorbs the power of the Fire Spirit and circulates it continuously. The more you use fire magic, the more it will circulate."

Mingchuan's mind moved, and he looked at Jinman: "Can this magic circle absorb the fire spirit?"

When Jin Man heard what he said, he realized that it must be the master in his body who was giving him instructions.

So Jin Man nodded: "That's right, and its array core should be hidden in the place where the fire spirit is most concentrated, which is difficult to find."

"What if we don't use fire magic?" asked a disciple.

As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding red vines suddenly moved without wind, twisting like countless snakes, blocking everyone's way.

The originally clear aura of the fire spirit began to become disordered, the scene in front was distorted, and the rock wall that was on the right side suddenly appeared on the left side!

"Oh no! The magic circle sensed our intentions and started to change!"

Jin Man's face darkened. "Everyone, don't move around or use your spiritual power recklessly. Stay steady first!"

But it's too late.

Several disciples subconsciously wanted to use the Fire Dragon Whip to chop the vines, but as soon as they formed the seal, the surrounding scene was completely messed up!

The ground beneath my feet turned into an illusion of rolling magma, and the roar of the Molten Beast came to my ears. Although I was standing next to my companion, I couldn't touch him, as if there was an invisible barrier between us.

"what!"

One disciple was frightened by the illusion and stepped on empty air while stepping back, and actually fell towards a depression.

Mingchuan was quick-witted and quick-handed. Without using any magic, he rushed over and pulled him back.

"Don't believe what you see! It's all fake!"

His shout sobered up several disciples.

Mingchuan looked at Jinman and said, "What should we do now? If we don't use magic, we can't break the formation. If we do, it will lead us astray."

Jin Man stared at the twisting vines and suddenly said, "Although this formation can absorb fire spirits, its vines are physical. Mingchuan, your Bone-Eroding Ice Flame... can it be driven without fire spirits?"

When Mingchuan heard her words, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Although the bone-eroding ice flame is a flame, it carries the power of ice and may be able to avoid the detection of the magic circle.

He quietly circulated his spiritual power, condensed the bone-eroding ice flame at his fingertips, and flicked it towards the nearest vine.

The ice flame fell silently on the vines, without any burst of fire, leaving only a faint white mark!

What was strange was that after the vine came into contact with the ice flame, the twisting speed slowed down significantly, and the surrounding illusions also blurred for a moment?

"It works!" Jin Man's eyes lit up, "Your ice flame can restrain it!"

Mingchuan frowned, "But I can only affect a small part. If the core of the formation is not broken, it will continue to operate. And if I use my ice flame too much, I'm afraid it will notice it."

At this moment, the Blood Dragon spoke again, "See where those vines intersect? There are three places where the vines are darker than the others. That's the formation. Quietly send your Phantom Flame there. You don't need to break the formation, just disrupt the flow of their spiritual energy."

Mingchuan looked as he was told, and indeed found three darker intersections where the vines were densely packed.

A smile suddenly appeared on Mingchuan's lips. As expected, the Blood Dragon was still powerful, unlike the useless Fallen Dragon.

Feeling that Mingchuan was silently complaining about him in his heart, Dulong's eyes were also filled with displeasure.

Afterwards, Mingchuan calmly separated a trace of phantom flame, and shot it towards the three places under the cover of the shadow of the vines.

The phantom flame merged silently into the vines without causing any unusual phenomena.

But the next moment, the chaotic fire spirit energy around suddenly stagnated, and the distorted scene stabilized a little. The several disciples who had been separated just now reappeared in sight!

"It's done!" Mingchuan was delighted.

Jin Man also noticed the change: "The magic circle is messed up! Mingchuan, you continue to use the ice flame to restrain the vines, I will try to find the location of the center of the formation!"

She closed her eyes, and the purple-gold flame on her fingertips turned into a thin thread, which carefully explored the surroundings. She no longer tried to break through by force, but slowly groped along the chaotic aura of the fire spirit.

Mingchuan continued to use bone-eroding ice flames to suppress the twisting vines, preventing the magic circle from changing again.

The disciples held their breath and followed the two closely.

They watched as Mingchuan made the strange vines obey with just a little bit of coldness from his fingertips, and when they thought of the shocking ice and fire flames just now, their awe of him deepened.

Moreover, Jin Man now values ​​Mingchuan, which once again makes them feel more at ease!

After an unknown amount of time, Jinman suddenly opened his eyes and pointed to the front left.

"The center of the formation is right there! Under the largest vine!"

When everyone looked over, they saw a vine several times thicker than the surrounding ones taking root under the rock wall. The soil at the roots glowed with a strange red light, which was where the aura of the fire spirit was the strongest.

"It's now!"

Jin Man growled, but instead of using any fire spells, he drew a dagger from his waist and rushed towards the vine.
