Chapter 508
Everyone's faces turned pale instantly. They looked around nervously, but found nothing.
"What is that sound? It's terrifying."
Huo Xiuxiu gripped Yi Sa's arm tightly, her voice trembling. Yi Sa, also pale, comforted her:
"Don't be afraid, it's probably just the wind. We'll just have to be careful."
However, the eerie wind grew louder and the strange sounds became clearer.
Suddenly, a huge black shadow rushed out from a corner of the temple and pounced on the group.
The crowd screamed in terror and scattered.
However, the dark figure vanished without a trace the instant it collided with the crowd.
Zhang Hao's gaze swept back and forth across the eerie underground village, his brow furrowed, a startling hypothesis forming in his mind.
He discovered that the layout of this underground village was exactly the same as the villages they had seen on the surface, like a mirror reflecting the world above ground.
"Don't panic, everyone. I have a theory."
Zhang Hao took a deep breath and slowly said:
"This underground village is likely a mirror image of the village above ground, and the entire layout is very likely a huge formation."
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned, their faces showing shock and confusion.
"A mirror formation? How is that possible?"
The fat man's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.
Wu Tianzhen also frowned, pondering Zhang Hao's words:
"If that's the case, then what is the purpose of this formation? And where is its core?"
Zhang Hao narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze fixed on the center of the village:
"From a feng shui perspective, this mirrored layout often has special significance, possibly to gather some kind of power or to hide some secret."
The key to the formation is most likely located in the center of the village, which should be the place we're looking for.
After listening to Zhang Hao's analysis, although everyone still had doubts, they also felt that it made sense.
So they decided to head towards the center of the village.
Throughout the journey, everyone proceeded with extreme caution, never daring to let their guard down.
Every inch of this land is shrouded in unknown dangers; a single misstep could lead to utter destruction.
She hadn't gone far when Wu Tianzhen suddenly felt her legs give way and she began to sink rapidly.
"Watch out, it's a trap!"
Zhang Hao reacted quickly, instantly reaching out and grabbing Wu Tianzhen's wrist, pulling him back forcefully.
Upon closer inspection, everyone saw that where Wu Tianzhen had stepped, a bottomless black hole had appeared. The entrance was surrounded by sharp bamboo skewers, which gleamed with a cold light, sending chills down their spines.
"This trap was too well hidden. If my uncle hadn't reacted quickly, I would have lost my life."
Wu Tianzhen patted his chest with lingering fear, his face as pale as paper.
"Everyone be careful, there's definitely more than one trap here."
Zhang Hao looked serious and reminded everyone again.
The group continued onward, taking each step with extreme caution.
However, the danger has not diminished as a result.
Suddenly, a sharp whistling sound came from all directions, and countless black projectiles shot towards the group like raindrops.
These hidden weapons were extremely fast, accompanied by a sharp whooshing sound, as if they would pierce through everyone in an instant.
"Get out of the way!"
Zhang Qilin swiftly drew his Black Gold Ancient Blade, brandishing it in the air to unleash streaks of cold light in an attempt to deflect the hidden weapons.
The others also drew their weapons and fought back fiercely.
The fat man brandished his entrenching tool while cursing loudly:
"This godforsaken place is full of traps and mechanisms! I've had enough!"
Despite their best efforts, the sheer number of hidden weapons overwhelmed them, and they gradually found themselves struggling to keep up.
Just as everyone was in danger, Zhang Hao suddenly shouted:
"Everyone, get behind me!"
He used his own body to firmly protect everyone inside.
The projectiles struck him and fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
