Cheng Ling's face darkened, and everyone instinctively felt that something was wrong.
Qinghuang took two steps forward and asked, "Cheng Ling, how are you? Did you find anything?"
After being silent for a long time, Cheng Ling said: "We have entered a mysterious formation. This formation is of a very high level, and even I can't see any clues about it."
Everyone was shocked, and Zhong Changsheng asked: "What should we do? Can we leave?"
"I don't know. I can't find the node of the formation. It's extremely difficult to crack it!"
Xie Feng's expression also changed, and he interjected and asked, "Are you sure you can break the formation? How long will it take?"
"I don't know either. I can only do my best. You don't have to follow me. If you look carefully, you may be able to find other ways out."
Everyone's heart sank, and they didn't know how long it would take to crack it? How could this happen!
There are only fifteen years left in the thousand-year reincarnation period. Depending on the situation, they must still be in the Demon Blood Continent. But now there is no other way. Even Cheng Ling can't find a way to leave. With their ability, how can they find traces of the formation.
Cheng Ling said no more. The situation had already shown that it was up to them to decide how they wanted to make the decision.
He put away the formation flag in his hand and thought rapidly in his mind. This place is the location of the first formation flag. In this way, in one month, it almost circled the plain. The confusion formation often requires certain media to make the people in the formation confused about the direction.
So what kind of media is there in this formation? Looking up, the entire plain is endless, empty and nothing special, only overgrown weeds on the ground.
There was a thought in his mind, weeds? In the plain area, nothing else is seen except weeds, so the only media that causes confusion is the weeds in front of you.
He slowly stepped forward, his eyes flashing like mysterious threads. The plain in front of you is divided into blocks in your eyes. After looking at it for a long time, I finally saw a clue.
Every distance, there will be a lush area where the weeds grow taller than the weeds in other locations. From a distance, it looks like there is a regular arrangement. But on the ground, it's hard to see.
The gravity technique was activated, and the figure slowly flew up. Gradually, the scene of the plain in front of me was exposed to the perspective. Looking down from the air, he suddenly understood.
Those lush weeds are like formation nodes, connected together, and eventually form a whole. This is the truth of the plain formation.
He breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he found a way, there was hope. Fall from the sky and rush to the first bush.
The people behind him saw him flying into the sky and falling to the ground. Now, I walked towards a pile of weeds that could be seen everywhere, and I looked at them inexplicably. But no one made a sound, for fear of disturbing his train of thought.
When he came to the weeds, he sat cross-legged and stared closely. Although he has understood the method of setting up the formation, every node must be carefully considered. One of these weeds may be the triggering position of the node. Only by finding the key one among tens of millions of weeds can the node here be cracked.
This is no easy job. The master who set up the formation was far above him in formation level. Therefore, no trace of the formation was found for two months until now. This is a large-scale enigma formation, its main function is illusion. To crack such a formation, as long as one node fails, it may cause the entire formation to be reorganized and overturned.
Therefore, he did not dare to take it lightly at all. He had to be 100% sure of every node position before he dared to break the formation.
But as soon as he looked at the weeds, he secretly complained in his heart. Each of these weeds is almost identical, and they are all connected by special prohibition techniques.
At the same time, it is not easy to find the right one among thousands of weeds.
Taking a deep breath, I already knew the test questions, and all that was left was to step forward and fight on my own. With bright eyes, he just watched the weeds in front of him motionless, carefully deducing the restrictions within them.
Restriction is one of the formations derived from heaven and earth. It plays a great role, not only assisting in formation setting but also increasing its changes. It can also form an independent space in a small area that cannot be discovered, or cannot be entered even if discovered.
From a broad perspective, it is divided into three categories: life and death, control, and assistance. Most of the general restraints are assistance and control. Just like what Cheng Ling mastered, the method of controlling Eunuch Hai, as well as the restraints of arranging and breaking formations, all belong to the first two categories.
There is only the forbidden law of life and death, because it is extremely difficult to understand, and because of its huge power, it is very helpful to the monks' combat power. Since ancient times, it has been tolerated by monks, and now, the inheritance has basically been discontinued.
But after Cheng Ling cracked it for several hours, he gradually felt that the restrictions in the weeds were very different from what he was used to seeing. This is the location of the first formation node discovered. Therefore, even if you make a wrong choice, you can start over here without going back to the previous node.
Therefore, Cheng Ling dared to try boldly. But after many experiments, he discovered that as long as he made a mistake in deciphering, the few weeds would instantly wither, lose their vitality, and completely dissipate. But after a while, it will grow again, and the forbidden connection points will change, and the original method will be invalidated immediately.
Cheng Ling was confused. What kind of restriction method was this? If you make a mistake, you have to do it all over again. Could it be the legendary life and death ban? Slowly closing his eyes, carefully recalling the previous situation, he was finally 70% sure that what was placed in these weeds was a life and death ban!
This is a big deal, and the difficulty of inferring the node location has suddenly increased several times. He secretly resented in his heart, what kind of person was the master who set up the island formation? He was so sophisticated in restraints. Could it be that he, like Mr. Yuan Ling, was a figure from the ancient times?
After thinking for a long time, I couldn't think of a reason, so I could only regain my strength and focus my energy on the weeds in front of me again.
Everyone behind him saw that he had been staring at the weeds in front of him, motionless, like a statue. But the expression on his face kept changing, and in the end, it became even more gloomy. His heart was pounding, wondering if he could break the formation again this time.
Liu Qingyan and Jian Yinghao looked at each other, and they also noticed Cheng Ling's condition. This kind of situation has only been seen when facing the space barrier in the Land of Five Elements. From this point of view, the formation here should be extremely difficult.
Jian Yinghao said softly: "Senior Liu, from the looks of Brother Cheng, it cannot be cracked in a short time. What should we do?"
Liu Qingyan pondered for a while and said: "Leave a few people here to protect him. The rest of the people should spread out and explore together to see if there are any other discoveries. Remember, don't leave too far. You must make a mark to avoid getting lost in the formation."
Jian Yinghao nodded and was about to speak when Gu Youlan said first: "Brother Jian, come here to protect him!"
"Me too!"
"Me too!"
"..."
Everyone volunteered one by one, intending to stay by Cheng Ling's side to protect him.
Jian Yinghao smiled bitterly, he really didn't know how to choose. At the critical moment, it was Liu Qingyan who said: "Stop fighting, Gu Youlan, Wu Chenlong, Xi Yan, Zhang Hu, the four of you will protect Cheng Ling first, and you will rotate every month to ensure that there are no less than four people around him! "
The sword hero immediately understood that all four of them used swords. Even if they were defeated individually, they could form a four-image sword formation to protect Cheng Ling. He immediately felt relieved, and followed Liu Qingyan's instructions, taking
The remaining people searched the plains.
Time passed slowly, and after ten days, Cheng Ling finally moved. After ten days of deduction, the location of the node was finally confirmed. He raised his right hand slightly and swayed in the wind with the movement of the weeds. Every movement was exactly the same as the direction of the swaying of the grass.
In this way, after a while of drinking tea, I typed out countless restrictions before finally pointing at one of the weeds. In an instant, the weeds in front of me seemed to have a slight fluctuation. The calm grass was like a small stone thrown into the lake. Thousands of weeds disappeared one after another, leaving only one of them.
The first formation node is broken! He took a deep breath, stood up, and continued walking forward, and everyone behind him also followed.
After walking for more than ten miles, I came to the second weed, sat down cross-legged, and began to continue the deduction. Gu Youlan and the others still stopped three feet away from him, on alert.
The second weed patch took half a month to clear.
The third place...took twenty days.
The fourth place... took thirty days.
Everyone gradually began to become anxious. They were moving forward at such a slow speed. How long would it take to break the entire formation? You know, there are less than fifteen years left in the millennium. But it was helpless that although the other people were highly skilled, they just didn't understand the formation and couldn't help at all.
At this time, Jian Yinghao and others had all turned around, and after two months of exploration, they found almost nothing. At a glance, there are clumps of weeds everywhere, the same everywhere, and it's easy to get lost.
He made a prompt decision and gathered all the people who had dispersed back to follow the large army. If one person was missing, he didn't know if he could find it back.
At the fifth node, the ban is more difficult. Along the way, Cheng Ling finally understood that the arrangement of these weeds was the legendary forbidden life and death. It's just that every time you pass through a thicket of weeds, the difficulty of the ban will increase by one level, and the cracking time will be slower.
When we reach the fifth node in front of us, it is even more complicated, and every connection is right or wrong. It looks like it, but when I look back and deduce it, it doesn't seem like it. He didn't dare to do it easily. As long as he made a mistake, the location of the four previous nodes would have to be cracked again.
Gradually, he began to feel irritable and lost his former stability. After sitting in front of the fifth weeds for more than a month, I lost my temper and decided to take a chance. He made mysterious handprints with his hands, and the lines in his eyes flickered, pointing to one of the weeds.
But soon, his expression changed. The rest of the weeds did not disappear, but changed their shapes instantly, and the previously deduced node locations became even more confusing.
He quickly stood up and rushed back to the fourth node. I saw that the weeds there had grown again, and the one deduced before was hidden among them again. His face became more and more gloomy, and he continued to check the third and second nodes, but they were all the same.
Finally, we came to the first location. The original weeds are becoming more and more lush, and the location of the node where there was only one weed left before is nowhere to be found!
There was a resentment in my chest that I couldn't vent. I couldn't help but jump up. I pointed at the sky and yelled: "Damn grandma, who is the bastard who set up such a complicated formation and has the ability to come out to challenge me? I won't kill you." It’s not Cheng!”
After cursing for a long time, I was really speechless. I sat down on the ground and gasped for air.
Everyone behind him was turned to stone, staring blankly at him pointing to the sky and cursing. After the scolding was over, Xuan Hu had the courage to ask: "Fellow Daoist Cheng, how are you? Can you break the formation?"
Cheng Ling was furious. When he saw the tiger head, he became even more angry and cursed: "Fuck, I'm not your nanny. I can break the formation by myself! I tell you, this formation can't be broken. , let’s all die here together!”
