The officer was at a loss. "That's impossible, right? You can even freely enter the Lifeless Eight Trigram Formation, so how could you get lost? "

"That's different. I had done similar research on the Lifeless Eight Trigrams Formation before, and Brother Chen was helping from the outside. Only then did we survive. The situation in the mountain is very complicated, we don't know anything about it."

As he spoke, he swung the military shovel at a nearby tree and viciously chopped at it. Instantly, the tree bark flew everywhere, leaving behind a deep mark.

"Let's go, we'll use this place as a marker and see if we can still turn back here later. Let's start the timer!"

"Alright."

The two continued to walk forward. As Fang Zishu walked, he left his mark on a nearby tree. Before the note could show any abnormalities, Fang Zishu's face became increasingly ugly. The two of them had already passed through this road!

"It seems that we are really trapped!"

Looking at the marks on the tree, Fang Zishu was extremely vexed. Previously, he had wanted to stop the cops from stealing the tomb, but he had neglected the danger that was right in front of him.

"No way!"

The policeman stared at the marks on the tree with his mouth agape, feeling a chill in his heart. "How should I deal with this!"

"Now that I'm in the dark, how am I supposed to deal with it?"

Fang Zishu wiped the sweat off his forehead and looked around. He saw lush greenery, and in the distance was a vast expanse of whiteness.

"We can't be sure whether it's a formation or a simple maze right now. The visibility is too low. Otherwise, we'll be able to make it out through the mountains!"

"That's not right!"

The policeman exclaimed, "We are on the mountain now. Logically speaking, the road should be very steep and rugged. However, we have walked for over an hour. Why does it feel like we have walked the same road?"

After hearing this, cold sweat broke out on Fang Zishu's back. How could he have ignored this simple but fatal question!

He quickly cleaned up the weeds and vines around him. The ground was still stone and soil, and the uneven mountain paths were not as flat as the police claimed. But why was it that after walking for more than an hour, he couldn't tell at all that he was walking on the mountain path?

"We might be in big trouble!"

The muscles on Fang Zishu's face twitched, causing him to jump in fright. "I'm a coward, don't scare me!" What exactly did you discover!? "

"Are you sure there's a noble king's tomb here?"

"I'm sure!" "I can't guarantee anything else, but I have absolute confidence in this kind of thing!"

Fang Zishu took a deep breath. "It's true that we're still at Seventh Madame's mountain. We're still on the mountain path. The reason we feel that we're walking on flat ground is very simple. It should be because of some substance that affects our perception!"

"What do you mean?"

"To put it simply, it is hypnosis! To use the words that you are familiar with, it's like hitting the wall with a ghost! "

"Oh, now I understand! Since you already know what's going on, isn't breaking it a matter of minutes? "

However, Fang Zishu shook his head. "It's not that easy. We have no idea what is affecting our perception. Maybe it's some kind of flower, maybe it's a tree, or maybe it's terrain!"

"What the hell, this formation is definitely the outer barrier of that noble king's tomb. You brat, you sure are lucky. Last night when I went to take a look, I couldn't even trap you."

The cop was also covered in cold sweat: "I didn't come in here at all! I was only observing the terrain outside and determined the general location of Wang Hou's tomb! "

"The fog is too thick now, which seriously affects our vision and judgement. Let's wait for the sun to rise before we start talking. We have to conserve our strength now and can't run around."

"Alright!"

The police had done some research on tomb robberies, so they were helpless against this kind of strange dodging array. The two found a slightly flat area to sit and rest, quietly waiting for the fog to dissipate.

It was truly an unstoppable day. Around noon, the rain had stopped and the sunlight dispelled the clouds and the gloom in their hearts. The flowers and birds in the tree began to change color.

"That's great! Little Book, let's hurry up and leave! "

The note quickly scuttled out of the air, and a rare smile appeared on Fang Zhisu's face. As long as his line of sight was not obstructed, he had absolute confidence in breaking through this array!

The two continued to walk as they made marks. Fang Zhoushu was also carefully observing the surrounding terrain, trying to find any clues, but reality had disappointed him. What he saw before him were lush and verdant trees, beautiful flowers, and nothing strange at all.

"We're back!"

The policeman screamed in despair. After walking for over half an hour, they had returned to the flat area where they had rested.

"What the hell, what is going on!"

Cold sweat broke out on Fang Zishu's forehead. An unprecedented fear had tightly gripped his heart. He couldn't see anything strange or regular at all, so how could he be trapped!?

"Stepping on the horse!" What the hell is this place!? "

The policeman kicked the grass vines on the ground to vent his fear. However, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have kicked something. When he took a closer look, his face turned pale!

"Little book!" Look! "Here!"

Fang Zishu looked over to take a look, and his face immediately darkened. In the grass and bushes, there was a man's corpse!

The skeleton should have been dead for a while now, as its skin and flesh had been completely eaten by the insects in the forest. Judging from the clothes it was wearing, it was likely that it was from the 1970s.

"Up ahead!"

The two men turned over and over with the trowel, and the result left them gaping.

All that could be seen were the bones of humans within a radius of fifty square meters.

Some were completely dried up, some were even in a half-rotten state, swarms of flies and mosquitoes were circling around them, and there were even a dense number of little bugs crawling in and out of these corpses.

"Ugh!"

The note could no longer hold back and began to violently vomit. Fang Zhushu held back for a while and also vomited. It was only until he spat out the sour water that he finally stopped.

"Oh my god, it's over. It's all over now. We're going to stay with them!"

The cop's face was pale. The fear and despair he had never experienced had already destroyed his psychological defenses.

"Don't be so desperate yet. Don't you notice that this is unusual?"

However, he was still able to keep his calm, and he resisted the urge to vomit as he carefully examined the bones.

"Yes, very unusual, they are all dead! We are finished too! "

"Calm down!"

The man gave him a few tight slaps, and the pain made him struggle out of the whirlpool of fear. He stared blankly at the young man.

"Don't you want to know how they died? Don't you want to know why they were all piled up here after they died? "

"Yes, but what's the point? We're going to die with them, aren't we? "

"A cop!" You better cheer up! "

"Find out what happened to them. Find out why they all died here, and we'll have a chance to live!" If you don't want to die, then cheer up! "

Fang Zishu's angry roar finally worked. The young man swallowed his saliva with difficulty, stood up with difficulty and said, "Zishu, I'll listen to you. Tell me what you're going to do!"

"Of course we have to figure out how they died!"

A cold light flashed across Fang Zishu's eyes, "Even if I die, I have to die clear and clear!"

However, the two of them were very disappointed. They spent almost an entire afternoon rummaging through their corpses, yet they still couldn't figure out what was going on.

The last bit of the sun's splendor disappeared into the horizon. The two of them exhausted the last of their strength and powerlessly collapsed to the ground.

"Let's eat something first. No matter what, we can only have the strength to work after we've eaten our fill."

The bill unexpectedly calmed down, causing Fang Zhoushu to feel rather surprised. The two ate some rations and barely managed to light a bonfire before sitting down to rest. They were truly exhausted.

Moonlight scattered down to the ground like water. The flowers, plants, and trees in the forest were bathed in the cold moonlight, appearing ethereal. If it wasn't for the huge hole in the ground where countless people were buried, this would be an absolutely beautiful scene.

He noticed that a flower was blooming at a speed visible to the naked eye. It was about a foot tall, and completely green. The petals of the flower were slowly blooming.

A burst of fragrance assaulted his nose, causing him to feel extremely relaxed. Fang Zishu only felt a wave of dizziness, and the note at his side even fell straight to the ground!

He finally knew why these people were dead, but it was already too late!

Just before he fainted, he saw a hazy figure walk out from the grass. The figure was very familiar, and the voice was very familiar, but he didn't have the energy to distinguish it.

The moment before he fainted, he clearly heard the person calling him.

"Fang Zishu!"
