Chapter 330 Forced to Stay

In the back, the atmosphere of the five hunting teams led by Meng Yueshan and others was extremely depressing. Although no one died, the atmosphere was even more depressing than that of the dead.

Everyone was silent and began to arrange the earth spirit house.

When the earth-yellow formation was built, everyone entered the earth house and saw the familiar earth spirit house room. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and seemed to feel a sense of security.

Being able to see the familiar cave in a completely unfamiliar environment gave everyone some spiritual comfort. It seemed that only by hiding in it could the fear in their hearts be relieved.

Even Zhou Daocheng felt a little relieved inexplicably, because this special area was so weird that he was completely confused.

When standing still, the surrounding environment changed by itself and was completely out of control.

After starting to move, he found that he could not get out of the miasma area at all, and could only be forced to circle in it. Moreover, the dead silence here was also very special, which aroused the most original fear in people's hearts.

Therefore, Zhou Daocheng still felt that it was safer to hide in the small house of the earth spirit. It was at least safer to stay still than to wander around.

At the same time, Zhou Daocheng, Zhou Daobai, and the five hunting team captains gathered in a room and talked with low eyes.

Zhou Daobai sighed deeply and said, "Lord of the Fog Valley, can you see the clues of the environment here?"

Zhou Daocheng shook his head: "It's too special. It's not a formation. It should be a pure natural environment. I can't understand the changes at all."

Then, he looked at the others and asked, "Did you find anything?"

Meng Yueshan and others shook their heads and said, "No, it seems that there is no danger here, and I haven't even seen the monsters, but the feeling in the dark makes me tremble all over, as if there is a great danger hidden around."

Everyone was silent. This was the most intuitive feeling.

Even if he faced a second-stage late-stage monster directly, Zhou Daocheng would not be too scared. What was really scary was the unknown, the complete lack of understanding, and the inability to grasp the surrounding situation!

At this moment, everyone seemed to be trapped in a fog, and they couldn't see what they had encountered at all, which was the most terrifying thing.

After a long silence, the eldest brother Zhou Daobai looked at Zhou Daocheng and asked, "What are your plans? Should we continue to rush to find an exit, or stay where we are?"

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Daocheng said, "We can't continue to wander around, otherwise we may get deeper and deeper and never get out. Let's stop first and think about it from beginning to end. Is there anything we haven't noticed?"

"Didn't notice this?"

Everyone fell into deep thought, thinking hard for a long time, but there was no clear answer.

Lin Yuan touched his chin and suddenly said ambiguously: "I did find something, but I don't know if it's right?"

Zhou Daocheng's eyes lit up and said: "Whether it's right or not, tell me first, maybe it's useful."

Lin Yuan scratched his head and said: "I walked in this forest for two days, the speed was not fast, but I took two pills to restore my spiritual energy in the middle! And... I feel a little hungry now."

Everyone was stunned and suddenly confused.

Meng Yueshan scratched his head and said awkwardly: "It's better not to say it, you are right, I seem to feel very tired these two days, but I am also hungry."

"It seems to be a little bit, and in this forest, the speed of mana consumption is also much faster. I wonder what's going on?"

"It may be necessary to block the miasma. It is understandable to consume more mana, and it is possible to consume more mana if you are always tense."

"..."

They could only talk to each other, and Zhou Daocheng also listened carefully, as if he had sensed something from it.

He couldn't help but mutter to himself: "It consumes more mana... It's easy to get hungry... What's the reason?"

He was also constantly thinking about the process along the way. What everyone said today was indeed correct.

In theory, everyone present was at least at the ninth level of Qi Refining. Although they had not reached the level of fasting, they also had a lot of mana in their bodies, enough to support a long period of not eating.

What's more, in the past two days, they were just walking every day, and there was no fighting at all. How could the mana be consumed so quickly?

Although he was puzzled, Zhou Daocheng did not find a reasonable explanation.

The meeting lasted for more than an hour, and everyone just chatted casually, and did not come up with a reasonable answer at all.

In the end, Zhou Daocheng had no choice but to end the meeting and let everyone eat and drink as much as possible to replenish their physical strength.

Afterwards, after explaining to his eldest brother Zhou Daobai, Zhou Daocheng directly began to retreat alone.

No matter what situation you face, strength is the most important factor. As long as your own strength is strong enough, your safety will naturally increase.

Especially recently, the first set of spirit puppet array has been destroyed, and the spotted viper and the black-eyed ghost-scaled snake can no longer be used, which greatly reduces Zhou Daocheng's strength.

Although he still has another set of spirit puppet array, for safety reasons, he decided to refine another set!

It just so happens that the essence of "Blood Fang Wild Boar" and "Purple Flame Spirit Cat" can be used to make a more powerful spirit puppet array.

The blood-fanged wild boar, originally with strength comparable to the third level of foundation building, if it is made into a spirit puppet, its strength should be able to barely reach the second level of foundation building, but the physical strength is relatively weak, after all, the quality of the black puppet wood is relatively low.

The strength of the Purple Flame Spirit Cat should be relatively less weakened, because it does not rely on its own strong physique, but relies on agility and demon fire to fight.

If two cat eyes are refined into the spirit puppet during the refining process, so that the Purple Flame Spirit Cat can still use demon fire, then its strength will not be reduced too much.

Zhou Daocheng conservatively estimated that it should be able to barely reach the third level of foundation building.

In this way, a blood-toothed wild boar with strength comparable to the second level of foundation building, plus a Purple Flame Spirit Cat that barely reached the third level of foundation building, must be an extremely powerful force.

Zhou Daocheng did not hesitate to go into seclusion and began to improve his own strength.

But others were far from being so at ease. Even if they lived in the Earth Spirit House, they still felt extremely insecure and kept an eye on the situation outside at all times.

The same was true for the eldest brother Zhou Daobai. He had to send people to guard the night every day and night to avoid any unexpected situations, and at the same time further detect the surrounding environment.

It turned out that the surrounding soil was no different, and the surrounding miasma was nothing special. Everything seemed very ordinary, but they just couldn't get out.
