When Petals Meet The Blade (Priscilla and Waldo) novel Chapter 368

Chapter 368

No sooner had Jessica and Leanna left than Kabury County was attacked by bandits.

But Jessica and Leanna had no time to concern themselves with that now.

After trekking through the mountain ravine for a full day and night, they finally reached the entrance to the Stone Forest at dawn on the third day.

Jessica said, “According to the sand table Mila made, this section of the Stone Forest is twice as big as the previous two combined. We have no idea where they are right now. If we rush blindly, there’s almost no way we’ll find them.”

Jessica stopped in front of the Stone Forest and glanced up at the many high slopes on the surrounding mountains. Oddly enough, she and Leanna had just traversed one of those slopes, but when they looked down, all they saw was a thick, impenetrable mist, making it impossible to see what lay inside

the Stone Forest.

Leanna couldn’t help but exclaim, “So this is the legendary Mystic Trigram Tactical Formation? How could such a formidable formation be created in

such a vast Stone Forest?”

Leanna didn’t know much about formations, but judging by the sheer scale of the Stone Forest before her, even though she couldn’t see it clearly, she realized it couldn’t possibly be man–made.

Where on earth could they have gotten all these massive boulders and rocks from?

Jessica explained, “This Stone Forest has a natural advantage. It’s already filled with countless scattered boulders. The formation master doesn’t need to rearrange every single rock inside. All he has to do is guard each exit and set up formations there.”

“So that’s how it works!” Leanna exclaimed in sudden understanding.

Jessica said, “Leanna, I can’t see clearly inside the Stone Forest. We need to find a vantage point, somewhere higher up, so we can get a clear view of what’s happening there.”

“But we already tried going up to higher ground

They had indeed looked from higher ground earlier, but below stretched nothing but an impenetrable white haze.

Jessica lifted her gaze, carefully studying the high slopes surrounding them.

Jessica explained, “Every formation has a weak spot. That’s the lifeline the formation master leaves for themselves. The observation point is also chosen

by the master when setting up the formation. Otherwise, even the formation master wouldn’t know what’s going on inside.”

“So we couldn’t see earlier because we hadn’t found the formation master’s observation point?” Leanna immediately grasped the concept.

Jessica nodded. Suddenly, her eyes sharpened. “Found it!”

Jessica spurred her horse forward without hesitation, racing ahead at full speed.

Leanna stuck close behind her, not daring to stray even an inch.
