Chapter 27: Illusory Array

  Shortly after Su Han entered the bamboo forest, a strange scene occurred. A piece of bamboo forest appeared out of thin air, silently and quietly filling the road that Su Han had passed through, completely blocking his retreat.

  In the bamboo forest, there was only one path, and Su Han walked along that path all the way forward.

  "No, I've already walked for an hour, how come I still haven't reached the end of the pass? This valley can't be that big." An hour later, Su Han's eyebrows furrowed slightly as he sensed something was off. No matter how far he walked, the scenery remained the same - only one path stretched out before him, with dense bamboo forests on either side that seemed to have no gaps at all.

  "Is this a maze?" Su Han stopped in his tracks and began to carefully observe the surrounding bamboo forest.

  The labyrinth was not unfamiliar to Su Han, and it was also recorded in the Strange Tales of a Lonely Studio. In the previous dynasty of the Great Flame Empire, there was an emperor who built a huge labyrinth in the imperial city of Daxia. He liked to throw his enemies into this vast maze, which was filled with all kinds of ferocious beasts, watching them die miserably inside.

  There are also some books about mazes in Su's house. Some simple mazes were the toys that opened up Su Han and others' intelligence when they were young.

  "If it's a maze, this maze isn't difficult to crack!" Su Han looked towards the top of the bamboo forest, and a method to crack this maze quietly took shape.

  Su Han was extremely intelligent and would not follow conventional rules, choosing to solve the maze in a straightforward manner. As for mazes, as long as one was at a high vantage point overlooking the maze, any maze could be easily solved.

  "But is this bamboo really bamboo?"

  Su Han withdrew his gaze and looked at the surrounding bamboo, his eyes slightly condensed, took out a thick-backed knife, and slashed towards the nearby bamboo forest with one knife.

  The knife flashed, and the thick-backed knife easily passed through the bamboo forest. Su Han clearly felt that the thick-backed knife had not cut anything.

  Su Han's face suddenly changed, becoming extremely ugly: "Fantasy Array, this is actually the legendary Fantasy Array. Damn it, trouble."

  In the "Records of Strange and Rare Events", it is recorded that in this world, apart from alchemists and talisman makers, there is another even rarer group of people, namely formation masters. Formation masters can use formation boards, formation disks and other objects to borrow the power of formations, stir up the primordial energy of heaven and earth, and lay down one formation after another that are mysterious and unparalleled, making it impossible for people to find their way out, completely losing their sense of direction. Among them, some powerful formations can even easily trap even those with innate strength, starving them to death.

  Su Han quickly regained his composure, gazed up at the sky, circulated the true energy within his body, and with a burst of strength, he leaped into the air like an eagle, soaring two to three zhang high.

  Just as Su Han's body moved, the bamboo forest also grew rapidly and eerily, completely blocking his line of sight, making it impossible for him to see far away.

  After Su Han fell to the ground, he furrowed his brow slightly, pondered for a moment, and walked to the vivid bamboo forest illusion. He carefully took a step into the bamboo forest.

  The moment Su Han came into contact with the bamboo forest, the surrounding scenery changed suddenly. He stood in the middle of a path again, surrounded by dense and lush bamboo forests. His sense of direction was also completely disrupted by the eerie bamboo forest.

  "Right, I also have a compass." Su Han's mind moved and a compass appeared in his hand. However, what made him extremely disappointed was that as soon as the compass was taken out, it started spinning continuously, making it impossible to determine the direction.

  Su Han took a deep breath of cold air, his scalp slightly numb: "So powerful, so bizarre, it's no wonder that even congenital strongmen can be trapped to death in this legendary illusion array."

  In this eerie bamboo forest, the sense of direction was completely disoriented, and Su Han didn't dare to gallop in one direction with all his might. If he galloped with all his might, a steel wire hidden in the illusion array could easily turn him into a headless ghost.

  Su Han's internal true energy circulated for two cycles, and he also became calm. He concentrated his mind, staring intently at a bamboo forest. Just as Su Han was focused, the mysterious symbol in his right eye suddenly appeared, and that dense bamboo forest completely disappeared from his right eye's field of vision, leaving only a treacherous terrain with steel wires, pitfalls, and sharp blades.

  Dozens of skeletons were scattered on the ground, apparently they were all adventurers who were attracted by the bamboo forest to search for treasure and then killed.

  At this scene, Su Han took a cold breath, fortunately he didn't run around randomly, otherwise he was afraid that he would also become one of the corpses.

  Among those traps, there was a safe passage that extended all the way to the valley. Su Han followed this passage and walked for about two kilometers before a somewhat crude stone cave appeared in front of him.

  Su Han entered the simple stone cave, and saw a withered skeleton wearing tattered robes leaning against the mountain wall. A black long sword was still inserted in the skeleton's abdomen.

  Su Han saw the withered skeleton, his eyes lit up. The master of this withered skeleton was absolutely an extraordinary strong man in his lifetime. The array outside should be set by the master of this withered skeleton. The black long sword inserted on the body of the master of this withered skeleton should be left by his enemy and should also be a remarkable treasure.

  Su Han took out a pair of deerskin gloves and put them on, grasped the hilt of the black long sword and gently pulled it out, pulling the black long sword out of the withered skeleton.

  With a few light swings, finding nothing out of the ordinary, Su Han began to observe the black longsword.

  That black long sword looks ordinary in shape, but the blade and tip are extremely thin, like a thin line. The hilt is engraved with the words "Black Tooth", apparently the name of this sword.

  Su Han held the black tooth and lightly stabbed it into the ground, and the black tooth immediately pierced the earth like a tofu.

  Su Han's heart was filled with joy, and he couldn't bear to part with the black-toothed sword in his hand: "The ultimate divine weapon, the sharpness of this black-toothed sword is absolutely superior to that of the symbol knife. This is definitely an ultimate divine weapon."

  A peerless divine sword has a great effect on Su Han, able to increase his combat power by more than double.

  Previously, against the pack of demonic wolves, if Su Han didn't have the Knife Symbol, he would have been exhausted and killed, being devoured by those demonic wolves until nothing was left. But with the Knife Symbol, he was able to slaughter all those demonic wolves. The enormous effect of a divine weapon can be imagined.

  He casually placed the black-toothed sword to one side, and with his thick-backed large knife, he lightly pried open the tattered clothes on the skeleton, examining them carefully for a while, but didn't find anything of value.

  Then Su Han's gaze shifted and looked towards the interior of the cave, where there was a bookshelf inside the cave, on which were placed more than ten books.
