"Not good, elders, retreat! Hurry up and get out!" The old fox tribe leader shouted loudly, but unfortunately, it was too late!

  Everyone only felt a flash of silver light in front of their eyes, and the scene changed greatly. Suddenly, from the mountain cave to a vast desert, the desert was endless, without water, without wind, and the air was dull and lifeless.

  Under the sudden change, whether it was the powerful Minotaur or the usually calm Medusa, they were all terrified and couldn't figure out what was going on.

  "Form up, quickly!"

  After the unexpected event, Yang Ling gave a low order. Although he didn't understand what was going on either, there was a feeling that a storm was brewing, and they needed to prepare their defenses to respond to any changes. Of course, sending scouts to investigate the surrounding terrain was also essential to avoid being suddenly attacked.

  In a panic, people act quickly. Forming a tight circular defense formation. Minotaur, Ogre, Medusa and Barbarian are in charge of one direction each, protecting the inner circle's Elf archer and Magician.

  "Sir, this is a magical formation. We must think of a way to break out as soon as possible. Otherwise, even if we don't get attacked, I'm afraid we'll be trapped to death!"

  As Yang Ling prepared to send out scouts, the elder of the Fox tribe sighed helplessly and began to explain slowly.

  It turned out that in the legend of the Honghuang era, there were no intelligent species on the continent of Tairon. Later, after the arrival of the God of War, he created angels with light, half-beasts with fire, humans with earth, and all things in the world with water...

  According to the records of the classics, the Fox tribe had many branches in ancient times. Among them, the Tian Hu (Heavenly Fox) was the most powerful. Unlike ordinary half-beasts, the first generation of Tian Hu looked almost like ordinary fire foxes at first, and only after evolving nine tails could they further evolve into human form.

  Legend has it that when the War God created the Celestial Fox, he added a drop of his own essence to them. In order to absorb the enormous energy they were born with, they had no choice but to evolve into the body of a Fire Fox over thousands and hundreds of years.

  Every single Celestial Fox can be said to have been blessed by the God of War since birth, being a lucky child. They are born with immense fire-elemental magical power, and every one of them is an exquisite fire-elemental magician. Even the lowest level Fireball, they can still unleash terrifying might.

  Apart from fire magic, the Celestial Fox has another formidable ability - Illusory Formation. They can set up an illusory magical formation that is like a dream. If outsiders accidentally step into their carefully laid traps, the consequences will be unthinkable. Either they will be taken advantage of and killed, or they will be trapped inside the Illusory Formation and starve to death.

  Rumors have it that in ancient times, the half-beastmen were slaughtered by the Church as heretics for a short period of six months. The population plummeted from tens of millions to just over a million, and those who remained were on the brink of death.

  Clutching his staff, which was as tall as he was, the elder of the Fox tribe's eyes turned red as he continued: "At a critical moment, a reclusive Heavenly Fox stepped forward, risking her life to lure the Church's Saint-level experts into a carefully laid magical trap. In the end, she perished together with them, using her own life as the price to force the Church to sign a ceasefire treaty!"

  "That's right, it was the efforts of the Heavenly Fox that our Minotaur tribe could sign a ceasefire agreement with the hypocritical human church. For thousands of years, despite the harsh living environment, we have managed to survive and thrive generation after generation!" Medusa paused for a moment before continuing: "Since then, the Fox tribe has been respected by all Minotaurs!"

  Yang Ling hesitated for a moment and asked in puzzlement, "Since Tian Hu is also one of your half-beast tribe, why would it appear here? And even use the magic array to trap us?"

  Yang Ling was perplexed and couldn't understand. The half-beast people looked at each other, but no one knew what was going on. The Minotaur chieftain rubbed the back of his head in distress, Medusa's face was heavy with worry, and even the old Fox tribe elder couldn't find a reasonable explanation after recalling all the classics he had read.

  Seeing the half-beast people hesitating for half a day, Yang Ling had no choice but to sit down cross-legged. He summoned twelve horned beasts and directed them in groups of three to fly out in four directions: east, south, west, and north. They were tasked with detecting the terrain and the reality of the so-called magical illusions.

  The horned beast moved quickly. But after flying for half a day, the end of the desert was still not in sight. The whole way was deathly silent. Not to mention monsters, there wasn't even a single blade of grass.

  Except for the yellow sand all over the ground, it's still endless yellow sand!

  As the images transmitted back by the hornets became increasingly blurry, Yang Ling felt it becoming more and more difficult to command them, realizing they had flown to the maximum distance he could control. Helpless, he could only recall them.

  Could this be a large-scale advanced maze?

  Think of the desert that suddenly appeared in a strange way. Looking at the endless yellow sand, he was moved. According to the explanation of the square pyramid, after cultivating to a high level, you can use sorcery to set up a large-scale maze array. Set up an illusory trap.

  "What's wrong? What is it?"

  Just as Yang Ling was about to continue his search, the sharp-eyed elf archer beside him suddenly let out a loud cry. Looking up and focusing, he saw a line of black shadows appearing on the horizon, rolling in like a flood, stirring up clouds of dust everywhere.

  The dark shadow moved very quickly. Soon, a terrifying face was exposed. It wasn't a flood, but rather an endless tide of double-headed horse spiders, as far as the eye could see.

  "Pull back, if you don't leave now, it will be too late!"

  "Ibiris. Where did so many double-headed spiders come from? Is this desert their lair?"

  As they drew closer, the countless two-headed horse spiders left people terrified, and even the robust Minotaurs were no exception. Their hearts racing wildly, their limbs growing increasingly numb.

  "Contract formation. Fast!"

  After swallowing hard, Yang Ling gave the order decisively on the endless desert. Even if they ran faster than a double-headed spider horse, they would probably die of exhaustion. Rather than retreating in disarray, it was better to hold their ground and think of a way to break this wicked magic array as soon as possible.

  Under Yang Ling's command, the panicked half-beastmen seemed to have found their backbone and huddled together tightly. Under the stimulation of Brasca, the two-headed ogre, they soon became bloodthirsty again, fiercely waving the weapons in their hands. Guo De and the Fox Tribe elder, among other mages, didn't dare slack off either, hastily casting supporting magic shields for the outer circle.

  The twin-headed spider moved swiftly, soon splitting into two and surrounding everyone heavily. After a shrill and eerie cry, it launched a fierce attack, determined to bite the warriors even if it meant its own death.

  At the moment of desperate counterattack, people saw a strange scene!

  Being bitten by a double-headed horse spider, blood gushed out of the body immediately, but after chopping off their necks with an axe or knocking them to death with a stick. The other party flashed and suddenly disappeared without leaving any trace!

  Is this a group of monsters cursed by the devil of hell?

  Witnessing the bizarre scene, everyone was shocked and lost their color. Covered in cold sweat, the more they fought, the more uneasy they became. According to ancient legend, monsters cursed by the hellish demon god could not be killed and could quickly revive on the demon altar before emerging once again.

  In the midst of panic and confusion, in the blink of an eye, several barbarians and minotaurs met their demise. Their corpses were dragged away by the two-headed spider and instantly torn to shreds and swallowed. Gazing at the scarlet blood, gazing at the still-twitching limbs and the scattered brain matter, some pale-faced elven archers even vomited on the spot. Legs felt weak and numb.

  "Lord, what to do?" Under the shock, the Fox tribe elder looked at Yang Ling with tension. In his heart, only a last strand of hope remained, hoping that after Yang Ling summoned the demon beast army, they could defeat the densely packed double-headed spiders that came in like a tide.

  What's wrong?

  Watching the one after another dying double-headed horse spider mysteriously disappear into thin air, Yang Ling's scalp also felt a creeping sense of horror. He understood that in this situation, even if he were to summon an army of magical beasts, it would be meaningless. The crux of the problem still lay in how to break through this mysterious and eerie magic array.

  Could it be that all of this is an illusion, and the entire desert is a massive maze-like array infused with killing intent?

  After a moment of contemplation, he recalled the explanation on the square pyramid and his heart stirred. Not delaying any further, he immediately sat down cross-legged and channeled the witch power within him into the desert.

  After infusing a large amount of witch power, Yang Ling's powerful spiritual force seemed to spread out like a spider web, swimming freely in the vast desert like a carp, extending far away without any obstacles...

  Yellow sand. Endless yellow sand!

  After an unknown period of time, passing through one sand dune after another. After crossing a vast expanse of desert. Suddenly. Yang Ling's whole body shook. Feeling as if his spiritual energy had encountered a layer of sticky glue. Unable to move forward for half a day.

  Isn't it that behind the obstacle is the magical formation of the Array Eye?

  After the unexpected event, Yang Ling went all out. The small Wu Dan fiercely sucked in and spat out, pouring a large amount of witch power onto the vast desert, and his powerful spiritual energy also quickly dissipated.

  After Yang Ling went all out, the Tian Hu hiding in the dark seemed to have increased its strength as well. In an instant, the sky turned gloomy, strong winds howled, and the double-headed spiders launched a frenzied attack. The spiritual power adhesive that hindered Yang Ling's progress became thicker and more viscous. After struggling for half a day, Yang Ling discovered that his spiritual power not only couldn't advance but was also being squeezed out bit by bit.

  Hmph, I knew it!

  After being forced to retreat spiritually, Yang Ling was not surprised but delighted. The opponent's desperate attempt to conceal this only proved that he had found the key to the formation. As long as he could crush the opponent's spiritual power, perhaps he could successfully break through this so-called magical formation.

  Rather than attacking on all sides, it's better to attack a single point!

  After a moment of contemplation, he came up with an idea and suddenly withdrew the spiritual energy that had been scattered. Then, he launched a fierce attack. Sure enough, his opponent was caught off guard, and in an instant, his spiritual energy pierced through a large section.

  After breaking through a big chunk, Yang Ling vaguely saw a fiery red ball, somewhat like a miniature sun, and also like the crystal core of some magical beast.

  Could it be, that's the real Array Eye?

  Overjoyed, Yang Ling once again increased his strength, bursting out with a powerful spiritual force, hoping to make a final effort to break through and destroy the fiery red sphere. However, after a shrill cry, the opponent launched a fierce counterattack, and in an instant he felt as if he had been struck by a hammer, his head feeling like it was being gnawed by countless ants, the pain unbearable!

  At the moment when Yang Ling was seriously injured, the light on the desert became dim, and all the double-headed spiders suddenly stopped moving strangely, like stone carvings, motionless.

  Under the sudden change, everyone was terrified and didn't understand what was happening. They were afraid that some kind of monster would suddenly appear. Only the elder of the fox tribe who was familiar with ancient books had a reaction in his heart, as if he had thought of something, and looked at Yang Ling with furrowed brows.

  Due to excessive tension, no one noticed that the Soul Ring on Yang Ling's finger emitted a faint, almost imperceptible silver light, which flashed into Yang Ling's mind like lightning. Nor did anyone notice that the tower-shaped mark between Yang Ling's eyebrows became increasingly clear, revealing a number of vivid and lifelike ferocious beasts.
