The Cloud-Stepping Beast is a first-level spiritual beast. Its traveling speed is already comparable to that of a ninth-level Qi-training monk running at full speed. It can travel thousands of miles in a day, and has strong endurance and very strong battery life.
Since this group of spirit beasts is in the migration stage, they often stop to look for food, play, and rest along the way, so they don't move very fast.
Stop and go from time to time.
After seeing the beasts from a distance on the dragon boat, Lu Changfeng made the dragon boat descend slowly.
In order not to disturb the horses, they chose to work together to cast a 'covering spell' to hide the flying boat, achieving an invisibility effect, and slowly approached the herd.
When they got close to the herd and the flying boat hovered quietly on the Luohe Plain, less than 500 meters away, they had the opportunity to see the size of the herd clearly.
There are twenty-three of these cloud-walking beasts in total.
There are eleven adult females, nine males, and three juvenile Cloud Walkers.
Among them, it was vaguely visible that the bellies of the five female cloud-walking beasts were somewhat bulging, and they were obviously carrying small cubs that were not yet born.
According to the calculations of the system, the total number of these cloud-walking beasts, including the cubs in their belly, is thirty-two.
The three cubs are currently running and playing around the two female cloud-walking beasts, very lively.
The rest of the cloud-walking beasts were either resting, drinking water, or playing and communicating.
They are strong, with graceful body curves and eyes as clear as sapphires, very beautiful.
Lu Ping floated off the flying boat early. With the advantage of his consciousness, he carefully looked at the beasts and figured out the strength of the beasts.
The most eye-catching thing is the strongest one, the Cloud-Stepping Beast King.
It is a full head taller than the average cloud-walking beast. Its limbs are well-developed, strong and powerful. It is drinking water by the river, and its movements are very graceful.
Judging from its aura, the strength of this Cloud-Stepping Beast King has reached the peak of the eighth level of Qi training, which is not easy to control.
The rest of the cloud-walking beasts were okay, the one with the highest level of cultivation was only at the fifth level of Qi training.
Those cubs are very weak and can't even reach the first level of Qi training.
"Let the disciples form a formation and seal off this area first. Let these cloud-walking beasts become turtles in the urn and then capture them one by one."
After finding out the specific strength of this group of cloud-walking beasts, Lu Ping sent a message to Lu Changfeng and gave action instructions.
It is worth mentioning that this trip was not an impromptu trip and no one had prepared anything.
Lu Changfeng has been studying formations these days and has made some gains. He found an entry-level formation called 'Xiaofan Cage Formation' from the treasury.
After several days of exploration, I have become proficient in using this formation, and can use it in conjunction with other disciples.
After receiving Lu Ping's instructions, Lu Changfeng did not act recklessly. He actually followed Lu Ping's instructions and called his disciples to form formations.
Since we have to form a formation, we can't hide our body shape.
The group of people simply used the wind control technique, jumped off the flying boat, and scattered around the cloud-walking beasts.
The striking figures of Lu Changfeng and others' actions of falling from the sky immediately attracted the attention of the cloud-walking beasts.
The flying boat is still hidden in the void with the blessing of the obscuration technique, making it difficult to see its true appearance.
However, the figures of Lu Changfeng and others were not concealed, and they landed openly and openly.
The Cloud-Stepping Beast King was very vigilant and reacted immediately.
Under its neighing, the surrounding adult cloud-walking beasts took action, moving quickly to surround the three cubs in the center.
The pregnant female cloud-walking beasts were also in the inner circle and were protected.
They did not choose to escape, but instinctively entered a defensive state.
This scene was beyond Lu Changfeng's expectations.
He originally thought that the appearance of himself and others would disturb the herd and cause them to scatter.
Therefore, in order to solve this problem and assist in the arrest, Lu Changfeng not only prepared the Xiaofan Cage Formation, but also brought fire-attributed talismans such as the Blazing Fire Talisman.
Cloud-walking beasts are afraid of fire and can drive flames to expel them.
Among the disciples traveling together this time, each one was assigned three blazing fire talismans and a dozen entry-level fire attribute talismans, in order to use flames when necessary to drive the cloud-walking beasts together.
In this way, it will be easy to set up a formation for arrest.
As a result, when they landed on the flying boat, they had already prepared their positions in advance and formed an encirclement formation, which made it easier for them to take action.
On Lu Changfeng's side, he had even taken out a blazing fire talisman and was about to use it.
"Great Elder, don't be anxious...don't be anxious..."
From Lu Changfeng's side, she saw Lu Changfeng holding the blazing talisman and preparing to use it, and Lu Xuelian quickly stopped her.
"This will scare them even more!"
The Cloud-Stepping Beast Herd did not run away, but had gathered together at this moment.
At this time, if you use flames, it will scare them into panic and run out of formation, which will not be conducive to capture.
"Listen to her, there is no need to use fire, just set up the formation."
Lu Xuelian's reminder was recognized by Lu Ping.
Lu Changfeng nodded and shouted the order to his disciples: "Everyone, listen up!"
"Forbidden fire, set up formation!"
With an order, the other nine disciples, except Lu Xuelian, followed the previous drill at Qinglian Mountain and began to move to their respective positions and start to form formations.
Lu Changfeng held the formation flag, and under the joint formation of the nine disciples, the rays of light from the formation were communicated and all gathered into the formation flag.
This set of Xiaofan Cage Formation is a quick formation. The most intuitive effect is to trap the enemy and exert a kind of coercive gravity to suppress the mobility of the creatures in the formation.
At the same time, it also has some paralysis effects, which can paralyze perception.
Everyone had a clear division of labor, and with the roars of the cloud-walking beasts, the formation took shape in an instant.
As Lu Changfeng held the formation flag and waved it fiercely, a dazzling formation light pillar rose above the formation flag, towering hundreds of feet above Lu Changfeng's head.
This array of light beams spread out and transformed into a huge circular shape, spreading towards the surrounding area.
The area where the nine disciples were standing was exactly at the edge of the formation.
Their standing here also made the cloud-walking beasts dare not easily step on it, and they still gathered together to defend themselves.
The cloud-walking beast itself has a gentle temperament and does not like fighting. At this moment, it just put on a defensive posture.
By this time, the formation has been set up.
The Xiaofan Cage Formation isolated an independent space, enveloping Lu Changfeng, Lu Xuelian, and even the Cloud-Stepping Beasts.
The remaining nine disciples stood outside the formation and injected mana to maintain the operation of the formation.
The task of capturing the Cloud-Stepping Beast fell on Lu Changfeng and Lu Xuelian.
Naturally, the effect of this formation will not be effective on Lu Changfeng and Lu Xuelian. They cannot trap themselves by themselves.
Before setting up the formation, the two of them carried matching 'array avoidance beads', which could isolate the enemy trapping effect brought by Xiaofan's cage formation, allowing them to walk freely in the formation and come and go freely.
At this stage, it was time for Lu Xuelian and Lu Changfeng to show off their skills.
