“What if…”
“Someone is changing the location of the palace?”
Chen Feng could sense the way Pu Yunmo and Sakurai Longzi trembled the moment he said that.
Blake, who was the timidest among them, paled instantly.
“Chen… Chen Feng…You…What do you mean? What do you mean by…someone…is… changing the location of the palace…?”
Blake, who rarely spoke on the way, could not help but stammer out loud.
“It might not be controlled by someone. It might just be a pre-programmed system. In any case, if we continue to circle around here, we will only remain where we are. We will never be able to leave this place,” Chen Feng told them about his speculation.
“We’re walking in circles?”
Sakurai Longzi made a guess.
“That’s right, we’re walking in circles.”
Chen Feng nodded.
Walking in circles was a type of supernatural phenomenon whereby some people would lose their sense of self-awareness when they walked at night or in the suburbs. They would continue circling the same area without being able to walk away.
There was actually a scientific basis behind this phenomenon, and such experiments could be conducted in real life.
For example, if you close your eyes and walk in a straight line in an empty space, you will eventually walk in a circle with a radius of about 5km.
This was due to the slight difference in the length of one’s legs. When one walked with their eyes closed, they would automatically move in one direction.
This was the instinct of all living creatures. Other than humans, this applied to animals as well.
If a wild duck was thrown into the air with its eyes blindfolded, it would also fly in a circular trajectory.
After Chen Feng explained the theory behind the phenomenon of walking in circles, he added, “Although our eyes were open just now, the surrounding symbols were affecting our judgment and giving us the wrong information.”
As he spoke, Chen Feng walked to the edge of the limestone road and bent down. He tried his best to fit his body to the ground.
“We thought that this was a straight road. However, this road actually has a 15° curve. We’ve been walking in circles. If you don’t believe me, you can come over and take a look.”
The Awakened Ones surrounding him immediately surrounded him out of curiosity. They all mimicked Chen Feng’s actions and squatted on the ground.
Interesting expressions soon formed on their faces.
That was because…this road really was really curved at an angle!
(If you have problems with this website, please continue reading your novel on our new website myboxnovel.com THANKS!)This was not a straight path!
“That’s impossible! If we had been walking on a curved road, we would have discovered it a long time ago!”
A man with South-American features shouted. Evidently, he still could not believe his eyes.
“That’s right. Everyone here is an Awakened One, and our senses are far beyond that of ordinary people. If the road was just slightly curved, it would not be enough to confuse all of us,” Chen Feng said as he nodded.
“This is related to the location of the palace that I mentioned earlier.”
“This palace has been moving continuously. With every 15° deviation in the path, this palace has also shifted by 15°. It’s still way ahead of us.”
“Our brains will naturally deem this palace as the target that we’re headed to. Although we feel like we’ve been moving forward, we haven’t gotten any closer to the target at all!”
After Chen Feng finished speaking, everyone fell silent.
Everyone looked towards the godly palace that towered into the clouds in the distance at once…
“It’s no wonder why we can’t arrive at our destination …” Pu Yunmo muttered.
“This place has actually used two methods to confuse us.
“No, there are three methods.”
Chen Feng shook his head.
“We don’t lack Awakened Ones with strong mental power here. Normally, one’s mental power would pick up such changes even if one’s vision has been deceived.”
As he spoke, Chen Feng narrowed his eyes at the black thorny tree beside him and the crow’s nest on the tree branch.
“Have you guys heard of the [Crow of Nightmare]?”
“The Crow of Nightmare?”
Most of them looked confused when they heard this name. Only a few of them revealed shocked expressions after they pondered upon it.
“You mean… the nest on the tree belongs to the Crow of Nightmare?” A tall, sexy blonde woman asked in disbelief.
Chen Feng nodded slightly.
“Ever since we stepped onto this limestone road and encountered this crow’s nest for the first time, the nightmarish aura that it gave off has already stifled our mental power. Legend says that the [Crow of Nightmare] is capable of confusing gods. The nest that it left behind has the ability to completely blind our mental senses.”
Chen Feng stared at the crow’s nest on the tree branch with a bright gaze.
Even with his powerful mental power, he had been tricked this time around.
The [Crow of Nightmare] was indeed worthy of its reputation!
Chen Feng carefully walked under the thorny tree. He got on his tiptoes, plucked the nest, and stuffed it into his system backpack.
This nest could conceal one’s mental power without one’s realization. It could be considered a rare treasure. Who knew when it could prove to be useful?
The people surrounding Chen Feng had no objections when they noticed his actions.
After all, this crow’s nest was discovered by Chen Feng. If not for Chen Feng, they probably would not have even noticed that they had been walking in circles.
Besides, most of the Awakened Ones who chose the middle fork in the road wanted Chen Feng’s protection. Therefore, they followed him all the way here.
If there was an Epic Grade Treasure Chest in front of him, many people might choose to go against Chen Feng.
However, the crow’s nest was far from enough.
“Then how can we stop walking in circles?” Pu Yunmo asked curiously.
“By finding the exit.”
“The exit?” Everyone was stunned.
“That’s right. Since we’re walking in a circle, there must be another fork in this circle. We must’ve overlooked it.”
“From now on, we will continue to walk towards the palace. Along the way, we will use our mental power to find another possible path.
This was also the reason why Chen Feng had stored the crow’s nest in the backpack in his system.
Now that they were no longer subject to the hallucination effects of the Crow of Nightmare, their mental power finally returned to its normal capacities.
“Although we don’t know who set up this trap, he or she must have used three methods to go against us because using one or two methods alone won’t be enough to make us lose our direction.”
Chen Feng was extremely confident in his mental power.
At least, his mental power was definitely the strongest among this group of Awakened Ones.
Everyone followed Chen Feng’s instructions and continued walking forward.
Finally, they found another path that led deeper into the forest ten minutes later.
They had definitely passed by this path before, but none of them had noticed its existence since they were walking in circles.
Their eyes widened when they looked at the dark path.
There was an old man sitting at the entrance!
“What if…”
“Someone is changing the location of the palace?”
Chen Feng could sense the way Pu Yunmo and Sakurai Longzi trembled the moment he said that.
