There were traps and formations everywhere on this Leigu Mountain. On the surface, it looked like a beautiful mountain and clear water, but in fact, it was an extremely tightly guarded place.
If one intruded without permission, they would get lost and trapped at the very least, and their lives would be in danger at the very worst.
Yi An and Huang Rong had already noticed this when they arrived.
Therefore, it was not as simple as it seemed on the surface for Su Xing He to let everyone climb the mountain on their own.
On this mountain path, there would definitely be various fortuitous encounters and arrays as tests. Only by passing this test would one be qualified to reach the top and participate in solving the exquisite chess game.
After all, there were too many people here this time.
If everyone went up to try, it would probably take them a month or two.
Wu Yazi from the Carefree Sect probably couldn't afford to delay.
Therefore, the first stage was set up to eliminate competitors who were not qualified enough.
"There must be a formation mechanism blocking the way in the mountain. The fog is covering us. "No matter what, remember, if you encounter a place that you can't pass through, don't force your way in. You just have to wait in place. When the exquisite chess game was over, he would naturally be safe and sound.”
Yi An warned everyone before leading Huang Rong, Duan Yu, and the others up the mountain.
Leigu Mountain was actually not very high.
Thus, the mountain path was not too steep. At the beginning, everyone did not feel that anything was wrong along the way.
But soon, he realized that the fog around him was getting thicker and thicker, to the point where he could not even see his own fingers.
Brother Yi, where are you?"
Huang Rong's voice came from behind. Yi An turned around, but she was nowhere to be seen.
This mountain path was indeed filled with mechanisms and formations.
"This fog is just a smokescreen. With my strength, I can use my inner strength to see through the fog, but it's useless. Everything around him was constantly changing. If he continued to walk forward, he would only be spinning in circles!”
Yi An frowned and closed his eyes.
He circulated his zhenqi and pushed his perception to the extreme, giving rise to his five senses.
Finally, Yi An realized that the stone slab under his feet seemed to have some mysteries.
"The stone stairs on this mountain path seem ordinary, but they are actually arranged according to the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams. The surrounding trees are also very particular, forming a maze. The trees and the floor seemed to be spinning slowly, and once I stepped on them, they would stop, so I couldn't feel them easily. If I want to break out of this situation, I need to find the correct path and steps!”
Yi An understood.
Since the exquisite chess game was a test of chess skills, then this array formation must also contain some logic.
For example, his current situation.
He was like a lone chess piece trapped in a siege. He had to think carefully about how to save himself with every step he took.
"Interesting. However, this level of bewildering formation is not difficult for me!”
Yi An pondered for a moment and had a solution in his heart.
Now, he already had master-level Go skills, and the talent of the chosen one gave him unparalleled comprehension and intelligence, so he quickly found the trick.
"Left three, advance four, retreat two, horizontal seven…"
A perfect path appeared in his mind.
Yi An didn't hesitate, his steps blossoming with flowers.
Soon, the surrounding fog gradually dissipated.
They were about to walk out of this maze.
But at this moment.
Suddenly, a cloud of black poisonous smoke mixed with the fog and surged over.
There seemed to be a huge poisonous python in the fog. Its eyes were shining as if it had magic. It made people dizzy after looking at it, as if their souls were about to be taken away.
"Bewitching technique?"
Seeing this, Yi An was slightly shocked. He quickly bit the tip of his tongue and his eyes turned cold.
"Which rat dares to play tricks in front of me?”
Yi An's expression was cold.
Long before he climbed the mountain, he had felt that someone was secretly spying on him. Now, it seemed that his feeling was indeed correct.
He did not hesitate.
He directly raised his hand and a sword qi swept over.
The sword light stirred up a strong wind and instantly tore apart the fog.
A skinny man walked out.
His body was slender and thin, and his entire body seemed to be boneless. He twisted as he walked over. The skin on his body was dry like iron sheet, so one could not tell his age. His eyes were scarlet and extremely terrifying.
He was more like a poisonous snake than a human.
Beside this person was a woman.
Although it was the body of a Japanese puppet, it was as strong as a strong man. Its appearance was very strange. It had a concave head and deep eyes, a long belly and large joints, a raised nose and a knotted throat. It also had a fat head and yellow hair. Its skin was like black paint. It was extremely ugly!
Seeing this, Yi An frowned even more.
Although these two people looked strange and ugly, their strength was not weak. They were actually existences that had barely touched the threshold of the Innate Realm.
"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect that there would really be an expert among the people who came to participate in the exquisite chess game this time!”
"Expert? He's going to be a dead man soon!"
The two of them laughed sinisterly.
"Who are you?"
Yi An frowned slightly, but he was not in a hurry to make a move. He wanted to figure out the other party's background first.
However…
What he did not expect was that the other party had no intention of communicating at all. He did not even reveal his purpose of coming. He directly drew his weapon and charged forward.
"People who are going to die, why do you have so much nonsense! When you reach the King of Hell, you will naturally know my name!”
The tall and thin man said coldly. Then, he opened his mouth and spat out stinky flames.
The woman beside him also followed closely behind. She smashed down with a huge hammer in her hand, instantly blasting a huge pit where Yi An was originally standing.
"King of Hell?"
Yi An's figure floated. After hearing the other party's words, he thought of something.
He remembered that there were two people among the two peerless prodigies who fit the image of the person in front of him.
"Pang Wen, the leader of the Four Spirits of the Twelve Astrology, once secretly built a Yama Palace and called himself the Hell Poison Dragon. He had an adopted son named Xiu Ba, nicknamed the Scarlet Eyed Soaring Serpent. His wife was Wumo, nicknamed Hungry Food Sealed Pig. They should be the two people in front of him!”
In a flash, Yi An had already determined the other party's identity.
However, he was even more curious. He had no interaction with the Twelve Star Forms and Yama King's Palace. Why would the other party ambush him here?
It seemed that he didn't look like someone from the Dingnan wangfu or Wanyan Hong Lie's people because they didn't know his identity.
Otherwise, he would not have sent these two Half-step to Inborn experts to their deaths.
"Who cares? It's not too late to capture him first!”
As he pondered.
Yi An took a few steps forward. His body was like lightning. He opened his sleeves and two sword lights gushed out, locking onto the two people in front of him.
