Chapter 90: Playing with arrays and playing in the cold
Just as Chen Tianye expected, after another half an hour, the hell bats suddenly turned around and headed towards the Beast Suppression Tower, and everything outside the defensive array suddenly became quiet.
Shen Feiyun looked at Qingshi and said, "How long can the array sustain such an attack?"
Qingshi smiled slightly and said: "A thousand years."
Duan Xiaoyu said: "I don't want to be trapped here for a thousand years! Not even for a day. Brother Qingshi, you'd better think of a way to let us out."
"Brother Feiyun is here," Qingshi said with a smile, "There is no need for my advice."
"I have a way to get out," Shen Feiyun said with a smile, "but the task cannot be completed. Brother Amano, you are the dean's disciple, what can you do?"
Chen Tianye stroked his mustache and thought for a long time and said: "I am like you, I can go out, but if I want to catch Zhu Ping again, I'm afraid I won't be able to. Let's look at Qingshi."
Everyone looked at Qingshi together.
Qingshi said: "I just thought of a way, but I'm not sure if it will work. If Brother Feiyun thinks it works, let's try it. Otherwise, we will just find a way to break the maze, go out to the cave and report to the academy." Elder. This is a monster! It’s not a shame if we fail to complete this task, the college will probably give us a half-credit. In addition, if we find a top-level leyline and report it to the college, there will definitely be generous rewards."
"How confident do you think you will be if you try your method?" Shen Feiyun said thoughtfully, "Is it dangerous to you?"
"Whether we are sure or not first depends on whether it is feasible!" Qingshi said, "If it is feasible, it also depends on how deep the hell bat monster's cultivation is. As for the danger, as long as we do not enter the monster's activity range, there is nothing Danger. By the way, Brother Feiyun, I think you seem to trust this Zelda, do you think he is reliable?"
"He must be telling the truth." Shen Feiyun said, "He seems to have no reason to harm us, but we can help him get out of trouble. Do you need his help?"
"That's not true," Qingshi said, "My method requires the use of these trial towers. I need to enter the main tower where he is, but if he is also in that trial tower, I cannot rest assured."
"Do you have a way to enter the trial tower?" Shen Feiyun asked, not too surprised.
Isolating the poisonous mist is naturally not that difficult for them, the elites of Tianlong Academy. For example, they can just use armor with shielding function.
Body armor is a common piece of armor. Its most basic functions are to shield poison gas and resist blows. A few high-level armors have more powerful functions, such as enhancing the wearer's martial arts output and even helping people fly.
Shen Feiyun and Chen Tianye both wore this kind of armor. Others, including Qingshi, did not wear it. It was not because they could not afford it, but because this type of armor required at least Yuan Dan realm or above to be activated. Generally, Generally speaking, the higher the level of armor, the higher the requirements for Qi cultivation.
In fact, Zelda also has armor that can block poisonous gas, but its spiritual source has long been exhausted.
"Qingshi naturally has a way!" Chen Tianye said, "This is not a difficult problem. We just need to be careful about Sarda and don't do anything bad."
"Brother Amano, do you want Qingshi to try it?" Shen Feiyun asked.
"I think you can give it a try," Chen Tianye said, "but it depends on whether Qingshi is willing to do it."
"I'm willing to give it a try!" Qingshi said, "Brother Feiyun just agrees."
"In that case!" Shen Feiyun said, "Then give it a try. Just do it, we will fully support you."
Naturally, Qingshi wouldn't take these poisonous fogs seriously. In fact, these poisonous fogs cannot always exist, and they will naturally disappear over time.
There was no poisonous mist here when Qingshi and the others came in. That was because the hell bat demon thought that there was no need to use poisonous mist. Only those little beasts could restrict Salda from escaping and capture Qingshi and the other five people.
Because creating poisonous mist also consumes the infuriating energy of the hell bat demon. But now, it will naturally not let the poisonous mist dissipate. Once the concentration of the poisonous mist decreases, it will release poison again.
But like Shen Feiyun and others, it didn't know that these poisonous mist had no effect on Qingshi at all. Of course, Qingshi will not reveal this secret easily.
The plan was decided, and Qingshi took action.
Qingshi turned around and faced the direction of the main trial tower and said, "Senior Zelda is there? Junior Qingshi wants to discuss with you how to escape."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Zelda replied repeatedly, "Young Qingshi, if you have any ideas, please speak up. If you need me, I will definitely help you with all my strength."
"Thank you so much, senior." Qingshi said, "That's it. I have an idea to deal with the hell bat demon, but I don't know if it is feasible. Therefore, I need to go to the trial tower where you are to learn about some of the earth veins. Is it okay? "
"You have a way to come here?" Sarda asked in surprise, "These poisonous mists are pervasive, right?" Sarda is the great elder of the Jiufeng Sect, and his cultivation has reached the Golden Core realm, but for the poisonous mist, But there is nothing they can do. Among the five people from Tianlong Academy, apart from Qingshi, Shen Feiyun and Chen Tianye also have ways to deal with the poisonous mist. This shows the background of Tianlong Academy.
"There is a way," Qingshi said, "It just requires senior to give up the main trial tower and come to our defense circle for a while, but I don't know if senior is willing."
"This..." Zelda hesitated for a moment.
"Senior, don't worry," Qingshi said, "Since I have a way to get to the trial tower where you are safely, I also have a way to get you to this defensive circle safely."
"Okay, I am willing!" Zelda no longer hesitated, "I said I will fully support you."
"That's very good," Qingshi said, "Thank you, senior!"
Qingshi took out a pill and threw it into his mouth, waved his hands a few times, and then took a step forward, somehow stepping out of the circle.
Zelda saw Qingshi walking into the poisonous fog through the observation hole in the tower. He couldn't help but be shocked, opened his mouth and almost screamed.
Although Shen Feiyun, Chen Tianye and Wu Qinghan knew that the bluestone would be fine, their hearts were in their throats. After all, he just took a pill and did not use any magic weapon. Duan Xiaoyu was the only one who was worried, but looked at Qingshi with firm confidence.
Qingshi was just pretending to take the elixir. Anyway, there was no alchemist except him.
Qingshi, who was outside the range of the magic circle, immediately sensed a group of hell bats flying over from the direction of the Beast Suppressing Tower. Apparently, they were also keeping an eye on the changes here.
Qingshi stepped out with an arrow, and in an instant he was under the trial tower that Zelda said was relatively independent because its connection with other trial towers had been destroyed.
Qingshi circled around the trial tower and found that what Salda said was true. This trial tower had no connection with other trial towers and there could be no magic circle trap.
At this time, those hell bats were almost flying to the trial towers. Qingshi waved his hands calmly, and formation sticks flew out one after another, either inserted into the ground or suspended in mid-air.
Soon, Qingshi set up a formation. This formation was very small, covering only the trial tower and its surroundings for a few feet. However, Qingshi used a full thirty-six formation sticks.
The magic circle was set up, and an energy barrier appeared surrounding the trial tower, pushing away the poisonous mist.
As soon as the defensive array was arranged, those hell bats arrived and naturally charged violently at the new array, but the result was also in vain.
Qingshi calmly studied the trial tower inside the formation, turning a deaf ear to the roars and screams of the hell bats outside the formation. After about a stick of incense, Qingshi stretched out his hand and pressed lightly on a protrusion under the trial tower, and the trial tower appeared. A narrow doorway with a height of one person came. Qingshi walked through the doorway with his legs and entered the tower. The doorway immediately disappeared again.
This trial tower is only three feet high and less than one foot in diameter. According to Qingshi's opinion, since it can accommodate many people to practice at the same time, it must be a space magic weapon, so he admires it in his heart.
Unexpectedly, after entering, I found that this was not the case at all. The stone tower was a small space of less than two square feet, but there was a stone staircase leading underground. Going down the stone staircase, Qingshi came to a relatively wide underground space. , this space is circular, more than two feet high, and about fifteen feet in diameter.
The light in the underground space is bright, and there is no poisonous mist intruding into the air. In addition to the lighting facilities, there are also some control devices, which seem to be used to control the trial puppets.
Qingshi continued to explore and soon discovered that there were two floors below this level of trial room space. The size and facilities of each floor were similar.
On the bottom floor, Qingshi found a small room with another set of control devices. Qingshi quickly figured out that this was the control hub of the trial tower he was looking for.
Qingshi spent an hour studying this control hub, and after fully understanding and mastering the method of controlling the earth veins, he spent another two hours transforming the earth veins, and finally connected this tributary of the earth veins to the magic circle arranged by himself on the ground. Understood the control device of the trial puppet.
On the third floor, Qingshi released the strongest trial puppet allowed by the settings. Following Qingshi's control, a metal puppet warrior rushed out from a doorway that appeared on the wall. The puppet waved two broadswords and fiercely aimed at The bluestone pounced.
Qingshi waited for it to reach in front of him, then turned slightly to let go of the knife, and then swept the puppet with an iron whip leg, kicking the puppet away and hitting one of the cave walls.
Qingshi was still waiting for it to turn around and continue the second attack, but unexpectedly it fell to the ground and became motionless with its waist and legs broken. He didn't know whether it was because the metal had been corroded over time or because it was incapable of being beaten. Compared with Tianlong Academy, this kind of trial puppet is simply a pile of rubbish.
Qingshi felt bored, turned back to the ground, opened the tower door and walked out of the stone tower. At this time, those hell bats had already evacuated at some point. Shen Feiyun, the four of them and Sarda had been paying attention to the movement of this stone tower. When they saw Qingshi reappearing, they all stood up and greeted Qingshi.
Qingshi secretly tried the effect of connecting the earth veins and the magic circle. Seeing that the transformation was successful, he couldn't help but feel good.
Seeing Shen Feiyun and the others looking bored, Qingshi deliberately wanted to embarrass them, so he smiled at them and said, "Can you come over?"
Duan Xiaoyu shook his head, Wu Qinghan frowned, Shen Feiyun just smiled calmly, but Chen Tianye said: "How about Senior Brother Feiyun show his hand?"
Seeing Shen Feiyun smiling and shaking his head, Chen Tianye turned to Wu Qinghan and said, "Junior Brother Wu must have this ability! Give Qingshi Lu a hand and let him see it. Look at his arrogance."
Wu Qinghan gritted his teeth, took out something that looked like a gold coin, held it in his hand, and then said to Qingshi: "Senior Brother Qingshi, I'm coming over now, but you have to open both sides of the circle so that I can come in and out. Also, don’t let the poisonous gas enter the magic circle.”
"Junior Brother Wu, don't worry," Qingshi said, "I'll count to three, just pretend that the barrier doesn't exist. Pay attention...three!"
Wu Qinghan was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was doing. He quickly slapped the gold coin in his hand on his chest, and then rushed towards Qingshi.
His body glowed with golden light, and he rushed out of the magic circle without any obstacles, entered the poisonous mist, and then smoothly rushed into the magic circle where Qingshi was. The golden light obviously protected Wu Qinghan from being poisoned.
"Good job!" Qingshi and Chen Tianye praised together, but with evil smiles on their faces.
"Brother Feiyun, please come!" Chen Tianye said with a smile.
"Brother Amano should come first!" Shen Feiyun smiled and shook his head.
"In addition to the armor, I also have three disposable spiritual weapons that can help me get there," Chen Tianye said with a smile. "One of them is the same as that of Junior Brother Wu. But I can't part with it, not even one of them. You all know that I am poor. La."
"I'm not poor, but I can't give it up!" Shen Feiyun also smiled and said, "Qingshi, you are good at everything, but sometimes you like to play pranks and make fun of others. I won't be fooled by you."
"Okay, Brother Qingshi," Duan Xiaoyu also said with a smile, "One surgery is enough, let us go quickly!"
Qingshi smiled and pretended not to see Wu Qinghan's wide eyes. He raised his hands and nodded a few times. The wall of the magic circle where Qingshi and Wu Qinghan were located lit up and gave off a faint blue light.
Then, the originally circular barrier slowly lengthened, with one end stretching towards the magic circle where Shen Feiyun and others were, and the other end spreading towards the main trial tower.
The barrier walls of the magic circle where Shen Feiyun and others were located also lit up, and the barrier walls of the two magic circles quickly touched each other and were connected together.
At the other end, the spreading barrier membrane extended to the main trial tower, wrapping it up. Qingshi walked over, waving his hands and arranged thirty-six formation sticks around the main tower.
The circle boundary continued to spread, and finally a new circle was formed with two channels connecting three circular areas. Two of these three circular areas were the two trial towers, and the other one was the circle originally laid out by Qingshi. Magic circle.
The hell bats felt that someone had just come out of the formation, and felt the changes in the formation, so they swarmed in and attacked the formation fiercely again. This time, Qingshi used the power of the earth's veins, the formation was still as solid as a rock, and the spiritual power of the formation sticks and The consumption of spirit stone spiritual energy is almost negligible.
Chen Feiyun, Chen Tianye and Duan Xiaoyu walked up to Qingshi and Wu Qinghan. Chen Tianye smiled and said: "Junior brother Wu is indeed a son of a wealthy family. He just used this golden light shielding talisman casually. He is really rich and powerful... Tsk tsk! Look, look! The golden light on his body has not disappeared yet! Top grade! It must be top grade... Tsk tsk!..."
Seeing Wu Qinghan's frown and pain, Duan Xiaoyu and Feiyun Qingshi couldn't help but laugh.
Wu Qinghan glared at Chen Tianye, then looked at Qingshi sadly and said, "Senior Brother Qingshi, I didn't expect you to be as bad as Senior Brother Chen."
Chen Tianye originally thought that Wu Qinghan looked a lot like Zheng Fangyi. He always looked serious and pretended to be cool, so he cooperated with Qingshi to tease him. However, he did not expect that Wu Qinghan was just a big kid, just pretending to be cold on the surface. , but his heart is neither scheming nor fragile. Chen Tianye couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
Qingshi also felt a little sorry, and immediately said to Chen Tianye: "After drinking the wine, you should return the gourd to others!"
Chen Tianye had no choice but to take out Wu Qinghan's wine gourd and said with a smile: "There is still a mouthful of wine left!" He handed the gourd back to Wu Qinghan.
Wu Qinghan didn't expect Chen Tianye to listen to Qingshi's words so much. He couldn't help but smile and said to Qingshi: "Thank you, senior brother Qingshi." The cold face he usually put on was wiped away in front of these senior brothers.
