Ancient Thunder Dragon Spell

"What's going on? Could it be that a ghost, or perhaps the Heavenly Star Grass already possessed intelligence, and could move on its own? Or maybe ... "People?" All sorts of strange thoughts flashed across Lei Yang's mind. His fear that had originally been diluted by excitement once again engulfed his entire body.    

    

He could even feel the chilly wind blowing over, causing his hair to stand on end, and his blood to run cold.    

    

"No way. Cough, about that, don't scare me. Let me tell you, laozi is the least afraid of ghosts!"    

    

"Haha, I've actually already seen you. Why aren't you coming out!" Lei Yang coughed, and mustered his courage to say a bunch of words for himself.    

    

Then, borrowing the faint light that the Heavenly Star Grass was emitting, he lowered his body and carefully observed his surroundings. After half a day, other than the piles of scattered rocks, he did not find anything else abnormal.    

    

"It's nothing! Sigh! It's better not to scare yourself! " Lei Yang braced himself in his heart like this, straightened his back, and then stood up once again.    

    

After waiting for a long time, he cautiously made his way forward again. When he found nothing abnormal this time, his courage gradually increased.    

    

However, when Lei Yang was about 200 feet away from him, something strange happened again. He had walked so far away just now, yet he had unknowingly returned back to the starting point.    

    

"Hey!" "Is there really a f * cking ghost here? Then I won't believe it!"    

    

Even though Lei Yang was fearful in his heart, he was still a fellow who liked to compete. If he could get the fierceness in his heart back, even Nine-headed Dragons would not be able to pull him back.    

    

This time, he didn't stop for a moment, but instead walked too quickly. Soon, he was 200 feet away from the starting point. However, as expected, he returned to the starting point.    

    

Following that, the competitive Lei Yang walked back and forth more than ten times, borrowing the final result without exception. He was accurately sent back to the starting point every time.    

    

"Hey! This is really strange! " Lei Yang was also not a reckless person. After coming here more than ten times, he also knew that something was amiss. As a result, the calmness in his heart had finally defeated his greed.    

    

This was a place that he could not understand no matter how much he thought about it. He wanted to obtain the Heavenly Star Grass, but he had no choice but to retreat.    

    

"Alright!" You win! "    

    

"I can't afford to offend you, but I can at least hide!" Lei Yang was truly unreconciled, seeing the Immortal grass in front of him yet not being able to get it, that kind of feeling was like a hundred claws scratching his heart, it was really a type of torture to him.    

    

In the end, Lei Yang glanced at the Heavenly Star Grass that was wrapped in the blue colored fog reluctantly, and slowly retreated. The reluctance in his heart made him unwilling to turn around.    

    

However, when he retreated more than 200 feet, he suddenly found that he had returned to the starting point.    

    

"Damn!" Isn't it fine for laozi to leave, but this is the tempo of not giving me a chance to live! " Lei Yang's heart was completely scared this time, and even his heart was in a mess. Just now, even though he was afraid, he thought that he could at least escape, but it was only now that he realized that he actually did not have the chance to escape at all.    

    

In order to calm himself down, Lei Yang simply sat down cross-legged at a distance of one hundred and fifty meters. All kinds of analyses and observations quickly flashed across his mind, but in the end, he still could not find the source of the problem.    

    

With that thought, he sat for an entire day. Lei Yang's eyes gradually became bloodied, but he still did not have a clue regarding the situation. Even the usually calm him started to become anxious.    

    

"No, I can't just sit there and wait for death. No matter if the master wants to test me or tease me, I have to move. But, where should I start from?" Lei Yang began to ponder over this problem.    

    

After a long while, he suddenly slapped his head as if he had suddenly understood something. He murmured, "I have to figure out how I got back to the starting point first. Yes, that's it. Let's start here."    

    

After Lei Yang found the breakthrough, he immediately took action, and once again walked forward. This time, he had noticed it beforehand, because he knew that the one hundred and sixty meters was definitely a boundary, so the moment he lifted his foot and put it down, his eyes widened as he let go of all the Spiritual Sense.    

    

Unfortunately, he did not know why he returned to his original spot. This matter was very strange and mysterious. He felt like he was walking on the spot, as if he had never moved.    

    

Fortunately, Lei Yang was a person with a firm mind. Otherwise, if it were any other people who had weak minds, they would really think that they had never made a move before.    

    

Lei Yang tried repeatedly, and after trying for more than ninety percent of the time, he realized that, at his current starting point, no matter which direction he headed in, in the end, no matter whether he walked thirty meters, fifty meters, or sixty meters, he would still be able to return here.    

    

He was also a bit tired after the last one hundred tries. He decided to rest and adjust after the first try.    

    

However, it was at this moment, the moment he lowered his foot, that he finally felt a slight contraction on the ground beneath his feet. Then, he returned to the starting point.    

    

That contraction was not seen with the eyes, nor was it felt with the Spiritual Sense, but felt with the instinct of the soles of his feet.    

    

This discovery immediately perked Lei Yang's spirits up. He immediately set off again, arriving at the points he had tested previously. This time, he did not use his feet, but squatted down and did not touch the ground.    

    

The moment his hand touched the ground, he could clearly feel the contraction from before. Moreover, the moment he was sent back to his original point, he finally saw a faint yet extremely complex ancient rune on the ground.    

    

"Damn!" So it's all because of you guys! " It almost took Lei Yang a lot of effort to finally figure out the reason behind his predicament, and he relaxed a bit more in his heart.    

    

It was because one could feel an extremely ancient aura from the symbol. The symbol was clearly quite dim, and it almost belonged to the same era as the standing palace.    

    

According to the analysis of the environment here, this was once an ancient medicinal garden. It was very possible that this was an ancient formation that protected the medicinal garden back then.    

    

In this way, it also eliminated the possibility that there were other dangerous existences here. Although they were temporarily trapped, it wasn't too dangerous.    

    

Lei Yang did not know much about formations. He had only read a few basic knowledge books about formation techniques in his clan, and only knew that formation techniques were divided into offensive and defensive formation techniques. The function and utility of a formation technique was determined by the formation pattern that the person who laid the formation had drawn.    

    

Lei Yang analyzed that the original purpose of the array formation was for the people who set up the array to protect the medicine garden. There was a high chance that it was a defensive array, and the ancient runes that he saw were most likely the so-called array patterns.    

    

"This formation can instantly shrink the ground into an inch, and the formation patterns are like a maze that is scattered throughout the entire medicine garden. Let's call it 'Earth Shrinking Maze Array' for now!" Lei Yang said in his heart, but his eyes revealed helplessness.    

    

After a long while, he sighed, "Fine! I have to admit, I'm. It's trapped! "
