While everyone was thinking about what to do, a shrill scream suddenly came from not far ahead, followed by intermittent, vague curses and screams. Qingshi and others were well-informed and knew that someone had touched the killing array and fallen into it.
"No!" Chen Tianye said, "Someone has been tricked, let's not move around!"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"If someone really sets a trap to seek wealth and death," Qingshi said with a wry smile, "I'm afraid it won't work if I just stay where I am!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard noisy footsteps and panicked shouts from the left. Three guards from the Linya Chamber of Commerce were seen running over in panic. Seeing Qingshi and the others, they were not relieved at all to have found the organization. He continued to run wildly, shouting: "Run! Run!"
After Qingshi and the others were stunned for a moment, they immediately turned around and ran away obediently, because chasing behind the three of them was a group of ghost mandrills, which are huge and ugly ape-like spiritual beasts. They were born as level six spiritual beasts. , has extremely high wisdom, and his debating ability is comparable to that of high-level monks in the human Golden Core Realm. And they can also be trained and upgraded. The group of ghost mandrills that are attacking now has twenty in total. The leader is a bit larger than the others of its kind, more than two feet tall, and it looks like it is probably at level seven. , which is equivalent to the intermediate level of human monks' immortal elixir realm and above.
Moreover, behind them there is a large group of wolves as big as bulls, which are hundreds of level five spiritual beasts with bone spurs.
Such a group of spiritual beasts is not something Qingshi and the others can resist. Of course, they can only run wildly and flee in confusion.
Qingshi asked Duan, Chen, and Hu to follow him closely. While running, he paid attention to avoid breaking into the magic circle trap. He kept observing the surrounding environment and terrain, trying to find a place to set up a defensive magic circle. Ordinarily, Qingshi's formation cultivation is extremely high, and he has a high-grade formation weapon - the Hunyuan Formation Flag. He should be able to find points, build momentum, and set up formations anytime and anywhere. However, after running like this for a long time, Qingshi actually found There is less than one place to set up a formation.
Soon, Qingshi understood the reason.
It is difficult to find a place to set up an array here, because the entire valley is a psychedelic array, and doing so is equivalent to setting up an array within an array. Although the Bluestone Formation Dao cultivation level is high, it does not have Xiang An's unique ability.
However, the scope of this formation is too large and it is impossible to lock all the energy points in the formation. Therefore, Qingshi is confident that he can find a place within the psychedelic formation to set up his own magic circle. In other words, it is not completely impossible to set up an array within an array here, but you cannot rely solely on magic weapons to create opportunities and gain momentum. You must make use of natural energy points and favorable terrain.
But now, he understands that there is indeed a lot of energy and momentum in the psychedelic formation in the valley that can be used to set up the formation within the formation. It can also be set up without Xiang's unique skills. However, now all these places have been occupied, and various magic formations have been set up. The people who set up the formations have not left any place that can be used.
After running for a while, Qingshi once again found a point where he could set up a formation a hundred steps ahead on the right. Qingshi took out a flying knife and threw it over, immediately triggering a killing formation that had already existed there and stimulating the formation wall. There was a ripple of energy in the world. Sure enough, this spot was also occupied.
Within a dozen breaths, the beasts behind him had already caught up. A scream was heard. A guard from the Linya Chamber of Commerce was struck by a ghost mandrill and fell to the ground. Then he was twisted to pieces by the evil beast. The neck was broken, and the head was in a different place.
Everyone was shocked when they heard the desperate and shrill screams, but they had no time to look back at the terrifying scene, because the bone spurs launched by the Bone Spur Demon Wolf had already forced them to brandish their weapons to resist.
In order to resist these deadly bone spurs, everyone was forced to slow down. Qing, Duan, Chen and Hu rushed forward closely together, Qingshi led the way, and Duan Wutian took out the earth shield and broke it off.
Another scream came from behind. Qingshi looked back in his busy schedule and found that the three guards of Linya Chamber of Commerce were already dead, and two of Yu Lian's six men were also dead and two wounded. However, Lian Shankai and his subordinate had disappeared without a trace.
Qingshi knew that running like this would lead to death in the end.
"We can't find a point where we can set up the magic circle," Qingshi gritted his teeth and said, "Don't run away, let's fight hard! Watch me get the Black Tiger out, set up a cannon and kill these beasts and this damn magic circle."
After Qingshi finished speaking, he was about to release the Xuanhu with a thought. However, after his mental power seeped into the storage device to activate the induction array, the Xuanhu did not move to the outside world instantly.
Qingshi was shocked, this had never happened before. Qingshi tried again, but it still didn't work. This time he failed, and Qingshi understood the reason.
It turns out that this large formation covering the entire valley is not a shielding formation or a psychedelic formation, but an air locking formation that locks space. It has shielding and psychedelic functions, but its most powerful and fundamental use is to lock in space. Space makes it impossible for magic weapons such as induction array disks in special storage containers to synchronize their fluctuating frequencies with the outside space, making it impossible to take out the desired items from them.
Qingshi knew that this air-locking formation originated from the vague memory of Xiao Lou in his mind. He never expected that someone on the Tianlong Continent would be able to set up this formation, and that he would be trapped in it.
"What's wrong?" Chen Tianye asked the dumbfounded Qingshi while resisting the surrounding ghost mandrills and bone-spurred demon wolves.
"It's broken!" Qingshi came back to his senses and said, "Can you try to release the military puppet?"
"Oops!" Chen Tianye tried it and shouted loudly, "No!"
"Yes!" Duan Wutian also shouted, "I can't do it either."
Now, Qingshi can confirm that this is indeed a large air-locking formation. All items that need to be synchronized with the outside space wave rate through induction instruments cannot be taken out. Not only the large and small battleships and various spaceships cannot be taken out, but also all the puppets. Qingshi originally wanted to rely on battleship cannons and a large number of military formation puppets to fight these evil beasts, but now it seems that the only way to fight is to risk his own life. Come and fight.
Fortunately, weapons such as these do not require the assistance of array instruments, and small items that can be taken out with mental power alone can also be moved in and out of the storage container at will. Qingshi released the 'Nine Mysteries' flying sword, instantly stabbing a ghost mandrill, and then unexpectedly killed a bone-spurred demon wolf.
The sudden appearance of nine flying swords made the evil beasts slightly afraid, and Qingshi and the others breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that they were running away and suffering more casualties, Qingshi called for everyone to form a circle and defend back to back. Yu Lian naturally agreed and rushed over with four of his men. Nine people formed a defensive circle. Sure enough, those evil beasts were unable to break in for a while.
Among the nine people, Qingshi's combat power is undoubtedly the strongest. The Moon Soul Sword in his hand uses the Mingyue Sword Technique Yuan Yu Style, and his defense is watertight. The nine flying swords were hovering in the sky, coming and going suddenly, striking out from time to time, attracting the attention of several ghost mandrills and greatly reducing the pressure on everyone.
Duan Wutian and Chen Tianye cooperated with each other. Duan Wutian used the earth shield in his left hand and the sun gun in his right hand. He was the main guard. The earth shield could withstand the violent claw attacks of the ghost mandrill without any problem, and the effect was excellent. Chen Tianye was waiting for an opportunity to kill the evil beast with his sword. His sword god appeared and disappeared, and under the cover of Duan Wutian, he quickly assassinated the two bone-thorned demon wolves.
Hu Hailong's 'Wind Mark Watermark' is extremely powerful, not inferior to Qingshi's Yuan Yu Style. Not only can he protect himself, he can also take care of the two Datong Chamber of Commerce guards beside him.
Yu Lian's martial arts cultivation is higher than Qingshi imagined, and his swordsmanship is extremely sharp. At the same time, his left hand will emit a flash of cold light from time to time, which is his unique hidden weapon, the ice cone. The largest ghost mandrill aimed at an injured guard beside Yu Lian and attacked fiercely. Just when it was about to cut off its head with one claw, it was stabbed in the eye by Yu Lian's ice cone, and it immediately roared and exited the battle circle.
While defending with his sword, Qingshi directed his flying sword to kill the enemy. At the same time, he released a trace of spiritual power to penetrate into the egg house.
"Old Xiang!" Qingshi contacted Xiang An with his mind, "How is Little Fatty? Can you wake him up?" Little Fatty's egg house cannot be locked by this air-locking formation.
"No!" Xiang An already knew the situation outside and said, "I tried, he slept too deeply."
"What can you do?" Qingshi continued to ask, "Can your Xiang family's array-within-array technique help us set up a defensive array?"
"Of course you can!" Xiang An said, "But you have to find a Qi point first."
"What if I can find it?" Qingshi said, "All the Qi points have been seized by the opponent in advance."
"I think you are confused!" Xiang An said slowly and calmly, "This is not a big problem. As the saying goes, if you don't destroy it, you won't build it. If you break it, you will build it..."
"Stop fucking this!" Qingshi scolded, "You mean to break one formation first, and then use the Qi points of the original formation to set up the formation?"
"Yes!" Xiang An shook his head and said, "Boys can be taught..."
"Ah!" Qingshi scolded angrily, "How could I not know such a simple method? Not to mention how difficult it is to do this, even if it succeeds, it will not solve the fundamental problem. Since the opponent has already set up a formation here, you If you break the formation and build it, he will know immediately. You have set up a formation to resist the evil beast, but at the same time you have built a prison for yourself. You can only stay in there and wait for him to deal with the others before he comes to deal with you. What's the point? "
"At least he died later than others!" Xiang An said.
"Yes!" Qingshi scolded, "You can die later."
"What else can we do?" Xiang An said, "I don't have any better way!"
"I have a way to give it a try!" Qingshi said, "But I need your help! Do you agree?"
"Promise!" Xiang An said, "I can't wait to come out and fight side by side with my brothers. If I can help you, I will naturally agree."
"Okay!" Qingshi said, "Teach me your Xiang family's secret technique of array within array. You agreed!"
"Ah?" Xiang An said in shock, "How can this be possible? No, no!"
"When has it been?" Qingshi said angrily, "Would you rather die?"
"No!" Xiang An frowned and said, "The Xiang family's secret method cannot be passed on to others. This is the ancestral precept and cannot be violated. Otherwise, you will be punished by God and you will not be able to enter the ancestral hall after your death."
"What kind of divine punishment?" Qingshi said, "If you don't help me, Xiaopang will know immediately after he wakes up that you violated his essence and blood oath. It would be strange if he didn't eat you in one bite. Do you still want to go to the ancestral hall after death? You It can only enter the little fat belly, and the soul will be destroyed!"
"But..." Xiang An said, "We, the descendants of the Xiang family, not only have ancestral precepts and oaths that cannot be violated, but we are also bound by the forbidden word spell!"
"Stop talking about this!" Qingshi shouted, "You hurry up and find a solution, otherwise we will all finish playing together!"
"Let's do this!" Xiang An naturally has an idea, "Contact me when you need to set up arrays, and I will direct you to set them up. If you can learn it, it won't be considered as my initiative to teach you...it's cheap You’re a kid!”
"Okay!" Qingshi achieved his goal and said with a smile, "These are good friends and brothers!"
"What a great air-locking formation!" Xiang An sighed, "I'm afraid we can't defeat such a brilliant formation!"
"Bang!" Qingshi said disdainfully, "This is not a real air-locking formation. If you have the ability, you should lock all the magic weapons in different spaces so that we can't even take out the weapons, elixirs and formation sticks. If it weren't for me If you don’t have enough cultivation, if I set up an air-locking formation, I will definitely defeat him!"
The exchange of thoughts between Qingshi and Xiang An lasted only a few breaths, but in this short few breaths, more evil beasts joined the battle group. Hu Hailong and Chen Tianye were both slightly injured. The already injured Datong guard was shot in the heart by a bone spur and fell to the ground dead.
