Chapter 215, Fighting the Puppet and Closing the Formation
Qingshi was shocked, knowing that if he was surrounded, it would be a big trouble. Under the current circumstances, there is no time to break the magic circle and enter the cave.
Qingshi immediately activated his wings of wind and thunder and soared into the air, flying towards the outside of the passage. However, as soon as he flew two feet away, he saw a dense forest of spears and euphorbias blocking the way.
Qingshi had no choice but to grit his teeth and simply put away the wings of wind and thunder and fell into the group of puppets. He wanted to repeat his old trick and disrupt the puppets' ability to identify friend or foe, but this time it was obviously not possible. All the puppets had identified him and greeted him with swords, fists and kicks. come over. Obviously, when he touched the defensive circle, he was marked as hostile.
In the densely packed puppet army formation, Qingshi could only rely on his superb body skills to dodge, and the Moon Soul Sword in his hand could only keep resisting and had no time to fight back. Despite this, in less than a quarter of an hour, Qingshi was still hit by one sword after another. Fortunately, Xuan Yuan Jia and Xuan Jin Shou's martial arts defense capabilities were super strong and he was not injured.
Qingshi's goal was to forcefully rush out of the passage before exhaustion and retreat outside the stone gate. If everything went well, he could be rescued by Duan Chenxiang and the others. But being trapped in a battle formation, it is not possible to force a sudden attack!
A quarter of an hour later, Qingshi made a calculation and found that he couldn't rush out no matter what.
What should I do, fight?
Qingshi knew that even if he risked his life, he would only be able to knock down a hundred or so puppets and bury them with him. But if you don't fight, it seems to be a dead end. Of course, Qingshi still has many magic weapons that can save his life, but he won't use them unless absolutely necessary.
Qingshi tried his best to use his brain to think of a way to escape. When he was distracted, he was hit hard by a big knife in the back. Qingshi stumbled. The Moon Soul Sword in his hand quickly put it on the sword that was attacked by a puppet in Yuan Yu style. He used his strength to neutralize the sword attack and stabilize his body, finally not falling to the ground.
The knife from behind was very domineering, and it struck Qingshi's armor vest end-to-end. Although the armor was hard, it was cut into two halves by this knife. After the blade cut through the iron armor, it then cut into Qingshi's body. Even with Xuanyuan Armor protecting him, Qingshi was in severe pain.
Qingshi raised his heart, waved his left hand lightly, and a black ball the size of a fist appeared in his palm, which was the thunderbolt given by Black Tiger.
This thunderous thunder is extremely powerful. It was originally used to kill enemies on the battlefield, so it is suitable to use it to deal with the puppet army formation. But if it were to explode in the chaos, I might be affected too.
Qingshi was about to detonate the thunderous thunder when he suddenly found that there were fewer puppets attacking him. In addition to the attacks from the puppets in front of him that were still intensive, the attacks from behind were actually reduced by half.
Qingshi's ears and eyes were so smart that he immediately discovered the reason.
It turned out that most of the puppets behind him were no longer attacking Qingshi, but were attacking an iron plate on the ground. That was the piece of iron armor vest that fell from Qingshi after being chopped into two pieces with a knife.
Are they attacking an iron plate?
A flash of lightning flashed in Qingshi's mind, and he immediately understood the reason. When the magic circle was triggered just now, he was indeed marked as hostile. However, the Xuanyuan Armor worn by Qingshi had a shielding function, so the mark was placed on the armor vest.
As soon as Qingshi understood this truth, he immediately made a decision.
Qingshi retreated, avoiding the sword in front of him. At the same time, his whole body shook violently, and the cloth strips binding the two iron plates broke. The two iron plates were shaken by the released infuriating energy and flew away from his body.
The Moon Soul Sword in Qingshi's hand suddenly shot out several rays of sword light. The half piece of armor that flew back was cut into two pieces and flew out to the left and right respectively. The piece of armor in front of him was cut into small pieces. Six random pieces flew away in all directions.
Sure enough, as Qingshi expected, every piece of iron became the target of a puppet attack, and a large group of puppets chased and surrounded these pieces of iron. The number of puppets besieging Qingshi was suddenly reduced by more than 80%.
Qingshi's vest doesn't mean that the puppets will stop attacking him, but now he is no longer the only target, and it is not a priority target.
It is conceivable that those pieces of iron will soon be crushed into powder, and then the bluestone will become the only target.
The puppet was 80% gone, and the pressure on the bluestone disappeared. He had made up his mind and no longer rushed out of the passage. Instead, he activated the wings of wind and thunder, dodged the swords and guns of the two puppets, and turned around to fly towards the hemispherical cover.
Seeing that he was less than five feet away from the hemispherical lid, Qingshi waved and threw Hongtianlei over. At the same time, Qingshi's figure suddenly fell down and hid behind a fat puppet.
There was a loud bang, and a huge shock wave spread along the cave passage. A large number of irregular shrapnel flew in all directions. Many puppets that were closer were knocked to the ground, and the roof and walls of the cave also crashed down. Falling dust.
After the shock wave passed, Qingshi pushed away the puppet in front of him, who was obviously stunned by the shock, and jumped to the side of the hemispherical lid. I saw that a large piece of the lid had been dented, and there were no energy ripples on the surface.
The moment Qingshi saw the puppet attacking the iron plate, he already understood that the hidden array on the hemispherical cover was not mainly for defense. Its main function was to mark the intruders.
In this case, the defensive ability of this cover should not be too strong. Qingshi decided to use violence to break the formation. Sure enough, this magic circle could not withstand the thunder. Qingshi took out the huge hammer and swung it, smashing a big hole in the damaged lid with just one hammer.
Qingshi Zhanshu put away the hammer, took a deep breath, and jumped into the hole before the puppets completed the encirclement.
Qingshi activated Xuanyuanjia's flying function and let himself descend slowly along the hole. He threw a lighting spiritual weapon at his feet and controlled it to fall simultaneously with him.
The hole is deep and vertically downward, like a shaft. The walls of the cave are smooth and flat, obviously carved from the rock by manpower.
After the bluestone dropped about two hundred feet, it suddenly entered a huge underground space. Qingshi quickly stabilized his figure and stopped falling, letting himself float in mid-air. The scene that suddenly appeared in front of him shocked him.
This is a huge natural cave, more than a thousand feet long and wide, and the top of the cave is no less than a hundred feet above the ground. The light in the entire cave is gentle and bright, with faint blue light and purple light intertwined, and the air is filled with strong evil spirit and spiritual energy.
What emits strong evil aura and light purple light is a kind of bright purple transparent crystal. They are scattered throughout the cave, half-embedded in the ground or on the cave wall. The big ones are as big as chariots and horses, and the small ones are as small as fists.
Emitting aura and blue light is a bright blue giant pillar. It stands in the center of the cave, protruding from the ground twenty feet high and more than one foot in diameter. This is the main vein of spirit stone.
Qingshi looked at the giant blue pillar and couldn't help but take a breath of air. Just looking at the part protruding from the ground, there were probably hundreds of millions of high-grade spiritual stones.
The bluestone gently flew to the bottom of the giant blue pillar, and sure enough, dozens of metal wires as thick as a thumb were inserted into the giant pillar. These wires were led from both sides of the giant pillar, winding along the ground, and finally along the Climbing along the cave walls on both sides, it finally led into the vertical hole above the head.
Qingshi knew that his guess was good. The puppet army formation on the ground did use this spirit stone vein as its spiritual source.
Qingshi looked around and picked up a fist-sized bright purple crystal. By dissecting the puppet, Qingshi understood that this was actually a black evil stone. The black evil stone he obtained from those cannons was a very deep black purple. That's because its energy consumption is almost exhausted. Understanding this reason, Qingshi felt that it would be more accurate to call this crystal amethyst.
Qingshi checked around the Lingshi vein pillar, and sure enough he found another wire as thick as an arm. Qingshi knew that this should be the energy wire for the puppet army array control array.
Qingshi followed the wire, and after walking for about twenty feet, he found that the wire had gone into the ground. Qingshi looked up and saw a huge metal disk in front of him, with a diameter of three feet. The wires penetrated into the ground from the edge of the disk.
Having learned the lesson of accidentally touching the magic circle on the ground, Qingshi did not dare to touch the disk easily. He only walked around the disk and observed it carefully.
Qingshi soon discovered that this disc was obviously not an array disc, it should also be a protective cover. The array tray should be under the lid.
Qingshi released his mental power and used array means to test it. Sure enough, a triggering array was attached to the cover. What dangers will this protective cover trigger? The bluestone is unknown.
Qingshi thought for a while and decided to crack the magic circle first and open the lid.
Qingshi had already thoroughly studied the cannon array and had a lot of knowledge about the array system on this island. Therefore, in less than half an hour, Qingshi cracked the triggering array.
After Qingshi's operation, the disc on the ground suddenly and silently split into five pieces, slowly shrinking back under the surrounding ground.
As the protective cover opened, what appeared in front of Qingshi was a large circular pit. In the middle of the large pit, there was a metal ball with a diameter of more than six feet. The ball was not solid. It could be seen from some holes on the surface of the ball. There are several layers inside. The surface of the sphere is dark gold and is engraved with mysterious and complicated formation patterns. This is obviously the spherical formation disk that controls the puppet military formation.
It was impossible to set up any magic circle traps or mechanisms on the formation disk. Qingshi immediately jumped into the pit and began to study the spherical formation disk.
This spherical formation disk is very complicated, but its magic is still the same system as the round cannon formation disk. It took Qingshi about three hours to finally understand it completely.
Next, Qingshi will modify the spherical array disk. In addition to modifying some settings and functions, he also needs to load the sensing device on it so that it can be put into the storage container.
Qingshi had a clear idea a long time ago and immediately began to transform according to the design concept. This was not an easy task. It took Qingshi three days to finally complete all the operations.
...
The forty-foot-long Xuanhu was suspended in the huge cave, looking so majestic and mighty. In a cabin under the front deck of the Xuanhu, Qingshi couldn't help but feel happy when he looked at the spherical array plate that he had installed and fixed.
To hold thousands of puppet warriors, Qingshi could only use the special storage ring that holds the Xuanhu. This is an earth-level spiritual weapon, and its internal space is enough to hold five Xuanhu.
In order to collect all the thousands of puppets into this storage device, Qingshi used a set of seven-sided circular array disks as induction spiritual tools. It took Qingshi a whole day just to carve the induction array patterns.
In order to allow himself to control the puppet through this spherical array disk, Qingshi spent another whole day. This not only required using a Wujin carving knife to carve array patterns on the spherical surface of the array disk, but also required Qingshi to use his mental power to lay his own in the sphere. To mark it is to refine it.
The spherical array plate was separated from the spirit stone veins, so Qingshi needed to install a spiritual source for it. To this end, Qingshi installed it on the Xuanhu and equipped it with no less than 50,000 high-grade spiritual stones as a spiritual source.
After doing this and returning to the top, Qingshi can control the puppets at will. Qingshi was very excited when he thought of this. Thousands of puppet armies comparable to Yuan Dan realm, what a huge fortune this is.
Speaking of wealth, there is a lot of wealth in this cave! Qingshi will naturally not let it go. Qingshi jumped off the Xuanhu and came to the Lingshi Mine Pillar. He stretched out his hand to pat the blue pillar, and then looked at the amethyst stones everywhere. Qingshi smiled and said to himself: "It's done, you can go up. Collect the puppets and bring those guys down to dig for treasure!"
