Immortal Martial God

Chapter 76 Between the devil and the deep blue sea

A normal human walking in a vast forest would indeed encounter such a situation. If someone didn't have a good sense of direction, it was very likely that they would constantly circle around an area, unable to get out no matter what.

At first, Xiang Nan did suspect that he had entered such a strange circle.

However, when he walked back to his original location, he knew that the situation was not as simple as he had imagined!

"Is there some kind of hallucinatory poisonous grass here? I've always been immersed in hallucinations?"

He sniffed twice, but he didn't smell anything too peculiar.

He quickly recalled that this world was very big. Indeed, there were many poisonous plants and flowers that released a strange fragrance that allowed people to enter hallucinations.

However, those poisonous plants and flowers were all living in a land of great viciousness! This little Black Sharp Demon Forest wasn't enough to produce such plants.

Xiang Nan frowned. He inserted the giant saber a foot deep into the ground, then quickly walked forward. The blade cut the ground, creating a long crack in the ground.

Forty minutes later, Xiang Nan was stunned again.

Right in front of him was actually the same place as before, and there was also such a crack in the ground there! Xiang Nan walked over, and the cracks in the ground that his saber had sliced just happened to coincide with them! Forming a straight line.

"Little Sparrow! Fly straight! Fly straight!" Xiang Nan released the Gale Bird.

The little bird spread its wings and soared, transforming into a strong wind that flew out with a whoosh.

A short ten minutes later, the bird's cry came from behind!

Xiang Nan turned around and saw the little bird flying over from behind and landing on his shoulder.

"What exactly is going on!" Xiang Nan was furious! If it was just a demonic beast blocking the way, it would be easy to deal with. Just fight directly.

But now, his time was wasted in circles!

Moreover, after a period of torment, it was already the twelfth hour! Of the three hundred contestants, nearly two hundred had already entered the second examination hall!

The second examination room.

Twenty-four demonic beasts had already been unlocked on the huge open space. Later on, the contestants did not foolishly recharge their energy alone. Instead, they waited for the others. After gathering enough people, they all rushed towards the fountain.

Among them were Xiang Zhonghua and Xiang Fei.

At this moment, Zhong Hua was poking his brand into the lion's head. He anxiously said, "Why hasn't Xiang Nan come yet? What exactly happened?"

Xiang Fei was so anxious that her forehead started to sweat, "I've been paying attention to the announcement of the flying ship. Indeed, I didn't hear Xiang Nan's name. The longer he stalls, the more demonic beasts there will be unlocked!"

"Yes, the situation is getting worse and worse." Xiang Zhonghua gritted his teeth and looked not far away. When he was recharging, the other contestants were fighting fiercely against the demonic beasts to buy him time.

But … what if Xiang Nan comes too late? At that time, he couldn't even find anyone to team up with Xiang Nan!

Xiang Fei said ruthlessly, "Zhong Hua, let's stay and wait for Xiang Nan! If there is no one to help him, he will definitely not be able to succeed on his own!"

"That won't do!" Someone beside him immediately cried out in dissatisfaction, "It's your business if you two want to wait. We won't stay here to accompany you! Damn it, another demonic beast has come out of the cage. These are twenty-five!"

"And you two take a look! These demonic beasts can't be completely killed!"

As they spoke, Xiang Zhonghua and Xiang Fei turned to look at the light screen behind them.

Sure enough! Every time he killed a Xiantian fifth level demonic beast, another one would come out from the light screen behind him! Refill with numbers.

In other words, even if they killed all three hundred demonic beasts, there would still be three hundred new demonic beasts filling in.

Stay here and wait for someone? That meant endless battles! Until he was killed by a demonic beast or died from exhaustion.

"What should we do! What exactly should we do?" Xiang Fei was anxious.

Xiang Zhonghua regained some calm and took out his name tag. "Waiting is not the way. Before Xiang Nan comes, I'm afraid the two of us will die."

"Forget it, let's go! Believe in Xiang Nan's strength!"

Xiang Fei was also helpless. She could only clench her teeth and nod. After everyone had finished charging, she protected each other and walked towards the light wall of the third examination hall.

Fourteen hours have passed.

"The 276th contestant entered the second examination hall. It was Blue Stone City, a disciple of the Su Clan, Su Mei."

Only a few minutes later, the announcement sounded again, "Su Mei is dead. She has lost the qualifications for the city selection."

The second exam hall was an "endless cage". Killing a demonic beast would revive a demonic beast! If a person charged forward, the probability of completing the charge would be very low!

The key point was that if they were unable to recharge their energy, they would not be able to leave the second examination hall. They could neither advance nor retreat, which meant that the contestants would have to fight the demonic beasts non-stop until they died!

The spectators on the flying ship were all horrified when they saw this scene.

It was already the fourteenth hour, and he had unlocked forty-eight Xiantian fifth level demonic beasts.

"This is bad." City Lord Hong Zhen couldn't hold his breath anymore. If Xiang Nan was the last to arrive at the second examination hall, he would have to face the siege of many demonic beasts alone!

How could a person, under the siege of a demonic beast, spare a hand to charge up for up to a minute?

"What exactly is Xiang Nan doing?" Hong Zhen lowered his head and saw that Xiang Nan was standing motionless. He was starting to feel anxious for Xiang Nan.

Below.

"Wang Xiaoyun, you bastard!" Xiang Nan held the knife in his hand and his eyes were incomparably red!

He could already tell that he had always been lost. It was impossible for him to be a problem with the Black Sharp Demon Forest itself, but someone had done something here!

Thinking with his toes, he knew that Wang Xiaoyun was definitely behind this!

Xiang Nan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "I must be in a formation! I'm so stupid! Why didn't I think of it earlier?"

Formations were profound and unfathomable knowledge. Their profundity had even surpassed alchemy and artifact forging.

Xiang Nan guessed that the place he was in should have been set up with a lost array.

The Lost Array wasn't a big one, but it was precisely because of this that there were hundreds of Lost Arrays in existence in the world! Unless Xiang Nan was proficient in formations, or was able to tell what kind of lost formation he was trapped in.

Otherwise, it would be too difficult to break through the formation.

When Xiang Nan thought about it carefully, he knew about thirty-two types of Lost Arrays! If he tried one by one, it would probably take too much time.

Moreover, what if the lost array here was just one of the thirty-two that he knew?
