Beast Taming: Starting from Contracting the Mysterious Beast

Formation?

After hearing what the other party said, Jiang Cheng looked at the Phoenix Bamboo Forest again, but no matter how he looked, he could not see any trace of formation.

At this time, he saw a boy about their age walking out of the bamboo forest. When he walked out, his eyes were a little confused and a little annoyed. He patted his head, stood there and pondered for a while, and turned around to walk into the bamboo forest again.

Before he walked in, a man walked over from the crowd outside and grabbed him and talked to him. Not far from Jiang Cheng, he could hear their conversation:

"Classmate, I see you have been in and out for five or six times. Every time you walk out and go back in, you find something and knock on the door. As classmates, can you tell us?"

"Hmm?" The boy looked at the man who grabbed him with some surprise, then turned his head and looked at the group of people looking at him from behind, and asked: "You don't know? Didn't you ask in advance?"

After the voice fell, he saw the scene of everyone shaking their heads at the same time, and he smiled helplessly, and then walked out a little distance.

"Well, this is the information I got from a senior yesterday. I thought everyone had heard about it."

"Everyone knows that some powerful array masters and alchemists have strange tempers. The one in charge of teaching arrays in our academy doesn't want to waste time teaching a group of untalented students, so he set up a maze in the Phoenix Bamboo Forest to test students. If students can get out of the maze and enter it with their own abilities, it means that they have a certain talent in arrays and can learn from him."

"Okay, I'll go in first." After saying that, the young man stepped into the Phoenix Bamboo Forest again, leaving everyone looking at each other in bewilderment.

Maze? Test?

If no student can get in, and no student is taught, won't the academy say something to this teacher?

Jiang Cheng looked at the Phoenix Bamboo Forest, thought for a while, and stepped into it with Xiao Wonton.

There is no point waiting outside. What kind of maze is inside and how to crack it, you need to walk in and experience it yourself before you know.

Walking into the Phoenix Bamboo Forest, the breeze blew, and the rubbing sound of bamboo branches and leaves came into the ears, making people feel peaceful. The bamboo forest, which was like a red fire, did not seem hot, but cool and refreshing, very comfortable.

The bamboo in the Phoenix Bamboo Forest, also known as Phoenix Bamboo, is not particularly densely distributed. A person walking through it does not have to worry about being disturbed by the walking path. Touching the bamboo body, you can feel a warm feeling on your palm, just like touching a warm water bottle. Seats made of Phoenix Bamboo are very popular in the entire Town of Beasts. Sitting for a long time is good for the body.

Walking all the way, for a while, he found something wrong.

He found that he had walked to the entrance of the bamboo forest again. Looking up and looking forward, there was a group of people waiting there. Looking at his direction, people around him walked into the bamboo forest one after another.

But when I was inside just now, I didn’t see anyone, and I felt that I was moving forward all the time, without taking any detours at all? Could it be that this is a maze?

Jiang Cheng originally thought that this maze was the kind of hazy and you couldn't see anything after entering it. It turned out to be like this, somewhat similar to a maze.

"Squeak?" The little wonton lying on Jiang Cheng's head picked up his paw and touched his head, looking thoughtful.

Jiang Cheng thought for a while, turned around and walked into it again.

He took out his Qingfeng sword and carved a conspicuous mark on a bamboo every time he walked a certain distance. If he encountered a mark, he would go in another direction.

However, as he walked, he saw that he had walked back to the entrance of the Phoenix Bamboo Forest.

He turned around to look for the bamboo he had just carved a mark on. When he walked to the side of the bamboo, he was surprised to see that the bamboo was intact and there was no mark.

It was strange.

Thinking about it, he took out the Qingfeng Sword again, carved a mark on the bamboo, and then stood there looking at the mark. As time went by, complex lines appeared on the mark. These lines were like needles and threads, mending the scratches on the bamboo. Soon, the bamboo that was covered with scratches just now was restored to its original state.

Jiang Cheng frowned as he watched from the side.

What is this line? When the line appeared just now, he felt that the surrounding elements of heaven and earth vibrated, and then gathered at the scratch to make up for the scratch.

Also, if this bamboo can be repaired with energy, is it still bamboo? Could it be that these bamboos are all fake?

Not knowing clearly, Jiang Cheng simply took out the Qingfeng Sword again and split the bamboo in front of him with one sword.

After a while, those unknown lines reappeared in front of Jiang Cheng's eyes, gathering the surrounding energy and repairing the chopped bamboo bit by bit. The half-cut bamboo that fell on the ground turned into dots of light and dissipated.

"It's really fake, there's no difference from the real thing."

Jiang Cheng picked up the Qingfeng Sword and chopped at the surrounding bamboo forest, splitting more than a dozen bamboos. After a certain period of time, without any exception, they all recovered.

"Is this the maze? It's so magical!" Jiang Cheng exclaimed. If he hadn't seen the special lines just now, everything around him would have felt like it was real, no different from the real world, whether from the visual, auditory or tactile senses.

How can a small first-level Xuanbing master break such a formation? How can he get out?

Jiang Cheng felt powerless. This formation doesn't look like a simple formation, right? Does the formation teacher of the academy really not want to teach students?

"No!"

Recalling the scene of the bamboo restoration just now, Jiang Cheng suddenly noticed a detail.

After he chopped off the dozen bamboos just now, there was a noteworthy detail in the repair process, that is, the lines that appeared when repairing the bamboo body were different, and the repair speed was also different.

On one bamboo, the lines that appeared were twice as many as those on another, and the repair speed was also extremely fast, many times faster than the repair speed of bamboo with fewer lines.

Is this related to getting out of the formation?

So, Jiang Cheng took the Qingfeng Sword and chopped the surrounding bamboos, and found that the number and direction of the lines that appeared when those bamboos were repaired were related.

Thinking of finding the places that could not be repaired first, Jiang Cheng walked along the direction where the lines became less, splitting bamboo as he walked. Gradually, he found that he had walked out of the bamboo forest again. What was different from before was that the outside of the bamboo forest was no longer the entrance to the bamboo forest, but another location.

This was an open space with a circular pool of water in the center. In the open space in the center of the pool, there was a building made of bamboo. The red building was like a flame.

"Oh? Someone is coming in." A voice came into his ears, and Jiang Cheng immediately turned his head to look.
