Chapter 551 Hidden Array
After all, those Hu merchants were just ordinary people. The desert was bitterly cold at night, and while they were trekking in the desert, they suddenly saw a small town under the moon and wanted to go in and take a rest.But this city is so strange that you can't get close to it.The person who hit it by mistake disappeared without a trace.

At that time, many people believed in ghosts and gods. After this, they naturally stayed away from this place, and this place became a frightening ghost city in the legend.

But Xiao Lingjiang knew that this was just someone making a fool of himself.

Just like a mirage in front of you.

Under the silver moonlight, the quaint little town is located in the silvery desert, looking very desolate.

However, Xiao Lingjiang stared at the rapidly flowing sand under his feet, lost in thought.

Within a moment, the surging quicksand buried her calves. When Pei You saw this, he reached out and hugged her to his side.

"Be careful."

The two of them could not stand firm for more than two breaths before the quicksand wrapped around them again as if it were alive.

Xiao Lingjiang's eyes moved: "Look, this quicksand actually chased me."

"Get away quickly. If you really fall into the quicksand, it will be dangerous." Nie Yin had encountered this situation before. The quicksand here was moving very fast. For ordinary people, there was almost no place to rest.

"It's interesting." Xiao Lingjiang's eyes darkened slightly and he raised his head to look at Pei You, "Do you think there's anything strange about it?"

Pei You looked at the Devil's City not far away, and then at the quicksand under his feet, with a hint of clarity in his voice: "Mirage, quicksand, these two things only appear together once, but if it happens again and again, That would be unusual."

According to what Nie Yin said, he and those Hu merchants who had seen Devil City had all encountered quicksand here.

Affected by specific climate and celestial phenomena, it is not surprising that the Devil's City mirage only appears in a fixed range on full moon nights in winter.

But the strange thing is, why is there always quicksand surging around when a mirage appears?
Mirage is just an illusory image. Although it can confuse people's minds, it has no ability to create quicksand murderous intent.And this desert quicksand is even more elusive. How can it appear in the same place frequently?
"It's weird, it's weird..." After hearing his explanation, Nie Yin also reacted, "When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. It seems that this mirage is really extraordinary. As the princess just said, if it is really an ordinary mirage, , shouldn’t it be accompanied by such heavy murderous intent when it appears. Could it be that someone deliberately set it up?”

As for who...

Needless to say, he is the one who doesn’t want others to set foot in the Devil’s City.

He looked at Xiao Lingjiang and asked, "In the opinion of the princess and the prince, what should we do next?"

Xiao Lingjiang shook his head slightly: "I really don't know how to break this situation at the moment. If you want to break this trick, you have to see the situation clearly. In this case, how about taking a trip to the quicksand first?"

Nie Yin couldn't help being stunned when he heard this: "Walking... to this quicksand?" This was a fatal murderous intention, and Princess Yong'an said it as if she was walking into a shallow beach.

Before he could react, he saw the two people in front of him already jumping into the quicksand hand in hand.

However, these two people, one is a prodigy who is proficient in mystical arts, and the other is an unparalleled master of swordsmanship. Although the surging quicksand has murderous intentions, it can't stop them.

Looking at the two figures walking freely in the quicksand, Nie Yin felt ashamed. He cheered up and jumped into the quicksand again.

Devil's City is a city, but it's not that big.Leaping in the quicksand, Xiao Lingjiang and the others quickly walked around the small city.

By this time, the silver moon hanging high in the sky gradually moved westward, and the Devil City in the desert became faint.

Nie Yin's eyes were a little anxious: "No, it looks like the Devil City is about to disappear."

If they miss this opportunity, they will have to wait for at least another month, but it is not certain whether they will be able to see this devil city next time.If you miss winter, you will have to wait for nearly another year.

Xiao Lingjiang waved his hand: "Don't be anxious."

Although her lap took some time, it was not in vain.The quicksand under your feet is constantly surging, as if it will pull people into it and drown them at any time. However, after looking around, you realize that this sand is also a formation.In the desert, the most abundant and least noticed thing is sand.Using quicksand as a formation and setting up a murderous intention, one can strangle people without warning and leave no trace.

This is the Quicksand Formation, but it is only the first level of the Killing Formation.

Xiao Lingjiang and Pei You had just circled around the Devil's City. Although it was too close to enter, it confirmed her suspicion that this scene was not a mirage.

When you look at a mirage, you can only see one side but not the whole picture.I would like to ask, which mirage can show the real thing when viewed from the front, back, left, and right?
If her guess was correct, there should be a hidden formation after the quicksand killing formation.Like the Hidden Mountain Formation of Xuanmen, this formation covers the Devil City, making it invisible and inaccessible to others.

However, due to the limitations of celestial phenomena, the Devil City still occasionally reveals its form.

Even though the formation was already in place, it was difficult for others to approach, but with many people coming to explore, the shrine was still afraid that someone would accidentally bump into this place, so it set up a quicksand formation to block those who wanted to approach this place. .

After figuring this out, Xiao Lingjiang focused his attention solemnly and ordered the two Xuan Shis to join the formation. "I will enter the formation now. Except for the Crown Prince and Nie Xia Shi, you will also follow me. The others will stay outside the formation for the time being."

After saying that, she kneaded the secret in her hands, raised her body, and took mysterious steps toward the quicksand.

Pei You, Nie Yin and others followed closely behind her, keeping the same pace and direction as her.

Quicksand surged past their feet.But what surprised Nie Yin was that the quicksand did not wrap around it as before, wanting to pull people into the sand immediately. Instead, it looked like a smooth shallow water stream, and a group of people waded through it without knowing it.

When Xiao Lingjiang finally stood still, Nie Yin couldn't help but exhale softly.

The sand underfoot is soft and flat, but the feeling of flow underfoot has disappeared.

Nie Yin knew that the quicksand formation had passed!

In front of you is the Devil City that has become somewhat transparent, which shows that the hidden formation has not been broken yet.

Xiao Lingjiang raised his head and saw that the moon was tilting to the west. It seemed that the full moon would disappear soon.

The bright moonlight shines on the vast desert, the silver glow is like yarn, the desert is like snow, and it is a beautiful scenery.

But Xiao Lingjiang knew better that the moonlight and the desert were just another layer of blindness.

"Time is running out now, and the hidden formation is a big formation. We need your help to break this formation." After saying that, she took out the light sword from her waist, kneaded the secret in her left hand, held the sword in her right hand, and flipped her wrist, already using her long sword. The sword draws a sigil.

"Gather!" Following her command, the other people took out their long swords and stood in different positions, touching the tip of the lightsaber.

Where the five long swords met, the talisman hanging in the void slowly opened.

Xiao Lingjiang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he drew out several talismans with his left hand and threw them on it. The light of the talismans suddenly rose sharply, and he gave another order: "Go!"

Several people raised their swords and pointed at the moon at the same time, and the light followed the direction of the sword and went straight towards the bright moon.

In an instant, the wind died down, the sand became quiet, and there was deathly silence all around, except for the bright moonlight above.

There seemed to be a soft crack, and something seemed to fall apart at that moment.Then, the wind blew and the sand moved, and everything returned to normal.

But at that moment, everyone felt that everything was different from before.

The night wind blew by, raising the sand and mist slightly.

Looking back, the person waiting outside the quicksand array had disappeared.In front of them, the ancient city stood silently...
