A few days later, Lin Chen successfully arrived outside Jiangcheng.
However, he did not enter the city, but watched on the hillside to the west of the city.
"Through experiments, I have successfully atomized the true energy in my body. Now in the Qi refining period, unless you are the kind of genius monk who has a spiritual body or has practiced some peerless skills, there is no one in the same level. People are my opponents.”
"So during this trip to Jiangcheng, for me, the biggest threat, and the variable most likely to cause the operation to fail, is the foundation-building monks!"
During this trip to Jiangcheng, Lin Chen will inevitably face forces with foundation-building monks at their command, so he must be prepared.
"According to my existing methods, there are about four plans to implement for the monks in the foundation-building period. The first is to avoid contact as much as possible, the second is to divert trouble to the east, trigger chaos and take the opportunity to escape, and the third is to prepare the means to kill them , and the fourth is to retreat with the help of [Chariots and Horses]."
Lin Chen thought for a while and decided to prepare these four plans at the same time, just in case.
The first two methods require adapting to the on-site situation, and the last method can be used at any time, so Lin Chen only needs to prepare a method to trap and kill the foundation-building monks.
"But in this world, it's really not an easy task to cross levels..." Thinking of this, Lin Chen couldn't help but rub his eyebrows.
Many people think that as long as there are second-level spiritual talismans, second-level spiritual weapons, etc., they can harm or even kill foundation-building monks. Lin Chen can only say two words about this:
Innocent.
I'm not a fool, how could I beat you standing up?
Some people say that they can attack unprepared, but they ignore a very critical issue, that is-response.
The difference between monks in different realms is the essence of life.
For cross-level challenges, let’s not talk about the souls of foundation-building monks that are far superior to those in the Qi-refining stage, nor the terrifying spiritual perception they have of ‘the cicada wakes up before the autumn wind blows’, and then take into account the difference in the quality of the spiritual energy in the body, and the advantages of strength and speed. , the difference in reaction power alone is enough for them to kill any monk who is lower than themselves.
The reflexes of foundation-building monks far exceed those of Qi-refining monks.
Within a hundred meters, no matter how many second-level spiritual talismans or even third-level spiritual talismans there are in the storage bag of the Qi Refining cultivators, they may be killed by the foundation-building monks before they have time to activate them.
A hundred meters away, or even attacking from a distance, the foundation-building monks may not be able to prevent you from using magic talismans and other means, but once you activate the means, you will be sensed by their spiritual senses and leave the attack range in time, or find their weaknesses. Breakthroughs everywhere.
Therefore, the Qi Refining Stage monks may be able to escape from the Foundation Establishment Stage monks, or they may be able to barely fight.
But if you want to kill a foundation-building monk, it is almost impossible unless the other person is seriously injured like his out-of-control experimental subject.
"Although the quality of my true energy is not as good as that of the foundation-building monks, I can still do it if I try to contain it."
"I also gave birth to a spiritual sense, which can interfere with their prediction of danger and resist soul attacks. As for the gap in speed and strength, it can be avoided by far enough distance, but the reaction ability..."
With the [Chariot and Horse Zhi] and the improved magic tricks, his speed was enough to compete with the foundation-building monks, but the problem of reflexes also troubled Lin Chen.
"So the best way is to set up a trap that can kill the foundation-building monks." Lin Chen murmured.
But the question is, what kind of trap should be set?
Formation?
Let’s not talk about whether he can deploy the second-level formation. Even if he does succeed in deploying it, the time it takes him to activate the formation is enough for the foundation-building monks to escape from the range of the formation.
Talisman?
Based on the opponent's reaction ability, it's really a matter of opinion whether he can hit it or not.
"So, if you want to trap and attack the opponent, you either have to have extremely strong control methods, or the attack range is large enough so that even if you react, you can't escape."
"I don't have strong control over the former at the moment, but I can try to deal with physical nausea."
"As for the latter, even if I collect all the talismans and expand the attack range, it will not be enough to cause death.
Because the foundation-building monks can quickly avoid the center of the explosion, the remaining flame attacks will not have much effect on them, so other means must be used. "
"But with the existing means, what attack has a wide range, great power, and high damage?"
Lin Chen couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
His eyes wandered, thinking.
"If you want to set up a trap, you must adapt to local conditions, but there are mountains nearby, so what... wait, mountains, volcanoes, volcanic eruptions?"
Lin Chen's eyes suddenly lit up.
If the mountain is used as a trap to fight against the foundation-building monks flying in mid-air, then the trap created by simulating a volcanic eruption is the best way to deal with them!
It has a wide range, great power, and the damage is high enough!
Of course, this does not mean that he wants to cause a volcanic eruption to destroy the enemy. After all, with Lin Chen's strength, he cannot affect the movement of the earth's crust at all, but to simulate the process of a volcanic eruption.
The principle of volcanic eruption is that magma and gas under the earth's crust accumulate over a certain period of time in a high-temperature and high-pressure environment. When the pressure reaches a certain level, the magma and gas will suddenly erupt, forming a volcanic eruption.
If the influence of factors such as the earth's crust is discarded, its essence is a process of material eruption.
There are about three conditions required for material eruption.
The first is the material basis, that is, the material that is ejected; the second is the eruption channel; the third is the eruption power, that is, the energy that can cause the material to eject from the surface.
Magma is not that easy to form, and Lin Chen has no way to create something as high as the earth's core, but he can replace the magma with a material that also has high heat but cools slowly.
Then plan the spitting channel and use the explosion of the talisman to provide power, so you can simulate the volcanic eruption process to a certain extent!
Lin Chen's eyes flickered, and then his figure flashed and disappeared directly among the mountains.
Seven days later, Lin Chen's figure appeared on a flat-topped hill.
"I have conducted experiments in the past few days and completed several experiments to simulate volcanic eruptions, which proved the possibility of its implementation, so let's use this as a trap!"
Lin Chen thought of this and looked at the hill at his feet.
There are naturally formed cavities in the mountains that can be used to store spit matter.
He can create spit channels through planning.
It can also temporarily close the channel to form a sealed space. When the pressure in the body is high enough, the material can break through its weak point and form an eruption.
As for the power, Lin Chen opened up another layer of space under the cavity, arranged the formation, and buried thousands of spiritual talismans. Once activated, it was enough to form power.
"Now that we have the channels and power, the next step is material!"
"The melting point of magma is too high, and it requires continuous heat from the earth's core. I can't do that, so I can only replace it!"
"When I was doing research on gunpowder, I accidentally developed a black oil that has good heat storage effect."
"Its temperature can be heated to thousands of degrees, and the cooling time can last for more than seven days, even longer in a specially made confined space. During the operation, it is enough to replace the action of magma!"
In the underground space, Lin Chen ignited a large amount of fuel, and the temperature of the black oil underneath continued to rise, slowly changing from black to dark red.
Once heated, it will become a liquid with thousands of temperatures. If it explodes, the monks who are sprayed from the front will suffer horrific injuries!
This is different from how you can reduce damage by avoiding the center during the explosion. As long as you are sprayed, even at the edge, it is equivalent to walking through magma!
Lin Chen really didn't believe that any foundation-building monk could survive in it unharmed!
"Of course, there are still various problems, how to keep the other party from being alert, and how to ensure your own safety..." Lin Chen was constantly improving the plan in his mind, "These still need to be solved one by one."
Soon, there was another burst of planning and busyness.
Finally, a few days before the Jiangcheng competition, Lin Chen completed the arrangements, and finally returned to his old city after ten years of absence at dusk!
