After leaving Lin Jian, Shangguan Hong went to find Song Zhen and others.
"Who is the woman next to Lin Jian?"
As soon as she saw Shangguan Hong, Song Zhen immediately asked. Ruan Tian and Bao Xian also stared at Shangguan to see what she would say.
"It's just a poor little girl. It's a coincidence that things in this world can look so similar, but... she is the only one. There is no one else who can look like Cui Yuan. Isn't it a pity, Bao Senior sister?"
After Shangguan Hong finished speaking, he looked at the three of them with a smile. Song Zhen's face was still eager and confused, while Bao Xian and Ruan Tian kept watching, waiting for her to continue.
"Well, that woman's name is Han Ning. Actually, her real name is Ning Han. She is a...poor woman. I won't say much else. It would be much better for her to tell you herself than me. So, If the three of you are interested in her, you might as well keep an eye on her. Maybe you can see the scene between Bai and Cui reenacted today. Well, if you can save them, you can find out from the woman's story. There will be more.”
Having said this, Shangguan Hong added something meaningful.
"If you can't get it, the two of you will destroy it together. It was the same way back then!"
…
The vast ocean of water in the Cold Spring Valley began to swell.
There seems to be a huge beast imprisoned under the water. With the arrival of the tide, the beast gradually wakes up and is desperately trying to break free from the shackles and regain its freedom. As it continues to struggle, the entire Cold Spring Valley The water began to rise without any wind, and the waves kept rushing towards the shore.
This change was not immediately apparent, but accumulated bit by bit. It was only when the climate formed that many monks by the water were shocked to realize that there had been a lot of changes in the Cold Spring Valley.
There were waves in the calm wind, and the water splashed towards the shore one after another. These were far less obvious than the changes in the various monsters in the water.
The monsters in the water didn't know when they got up, and they all started to become anxious.
Qian Chao and others clearly felt this change.
Where a dozen of them were originally located, due to their superb skills, as long as a monster in the water came up, they would be captured by these people. Therefore, compared to other monks, Qian Chao's place often seemed a bit leisurely and even deserted. , everyone was waiting for the monsters on the shore, unlike many other monks who were constantly fighting with the monsters climbing up, making it even more lively.
But it's different now!
Under the urging and instigation of all kinds of monsters, from the first few to the later, they rushed towards the shore almost non-stop, hissing and roaring one by one, regardless of size, speed, Regardless of whether you can move quickly when you get to the shore, you should rush towards the shore first. One by one, the monsters in the sea were either covered in hard armor or covered with silver scales, and they all rushed towards the shore dripping with water; they either spread their legs and feet, walked towards the monks, or used their fins to The tail swung and charged out from the water, aiming at numerous monks from the air and smashing them down; some were small but densely packed together, silently crawling to the shore, or they were unable to get out of the water at all. The monks who only aimed their long tentacles in the water at the shore swept away; some even shot powerful water arrows from the water towards the shore, while others used their sharp claws to attack from the shore. The man stood up, dragged his long tail, screamed and clawed at the monks on the shore!
The happiest person was Lu Pingchuan. At first, he rushed forward with his hands wide open. However, after defeating a few monsters, he was knocked down by a big fish with a white belly and black back that fell from the sky. The big fish was much bigger than Lu Pingchuan. He pressed it under him and kept shaking his head while biting in the air. The sharp teeth in the big mouth clicked and clicked, but Lu Pingchuan Pingchuan's head was almost pressed under the belly of the fish. Where could he be bitten? Just when Li Jian was about to help, Lu Pingchuan got out from under the big fish with one movement, and then angrily dragged the big fish tail that kept swinging and turned around and drove the big fish to the shore. A big tree was thrown away, with a "bang", the big tree was knocked crookedly, and the big fish was still twisting in the weeds and shrubs.
Qian Chao knew that this was due to the activation of the formation. He had thought before that someone would use several spiritual veins near Hanquan Valley for manipulation. During the second exploration near Hanquan Valley a few days ago, he roughly obtained So I got to know the distribution of spiritual veins near Hanquan Valley.
In Qian Chao's view, the spiritual veins near Hanquan Valley are sparsely scattered. Even if the spiritual veins change on the day of the spring tide, the value of using them is not great. Some formations that can be deployed with spiritual veins to directly hurt people are here in Hanquan Valley. It is impossible to arrange it, but with Qian Chao's own methods, it is possible to arrange a formation in Hanquan Valley on the day of the spring tide that uses changes in spiritual energy to make many monsters fearless of life and death, go crazy, and become violent. It's just a lot more complicated. Since Qian Chao can do it, and those guys like Wen Liang have made up their mind to do it in Hanquan Valley, they will probably use this formation.
Qian Chao also made some arrangements during that investigation, but what he arranged that time was not a formation, but a talisman. It was a hidden talisman. As long as someone arranged the formation and activated it, as long as the spiritual pulse was If the formation changes, the talisman Qian Chao arranged before will be triggered, and thus be sensed by Li Jian. Li Jian will then tell Qian Chao where the talisman is triggered. This is equivalent to how Qian Chao will use that formation. He knows everything about the changes in the spiritual veins around Hanquan Valley.
Qian Chao carefully speculated on how Wen Liang would use this day of great tide. Although he could not finally identify Wen Liang's method, Qian Chao always felt that one thing was worth noting, that is, on the day of great tide, whether it is a monster on land, Regardless of whether you deal with the monsters in the sea or the monks deal with the monsters in the water, there will always be a lot of casualties on this day, and countless monsters will die on this day. If Qian Chao is a dark-hearted person and he arranges all this, it would be a pity if so many souls dissipate like this. Those are good materials for performing evil spells and must be put to good use. If they can be used in advance It is well arranged somewhere, and Qian Chao is also sure that on this day, he will use the souls of the monsters that die here to create a terrifying evil beast, and then use the spiritual veins here to strengthen it. In that case, the evil beast will wreak havoc, even if Even if Yan Shuang could not be killed, it would be enough to cause heavy casualties to many monks. Then, the back-up plan arranged in advance would take advantage of the opportunity to make a surprise attack, and take advantage of the monks to be tired or injured to achieve success in one fell swoop!
The formation activated in front of him has two uses in Qian Chao's opinion. One is to consume many monks through the layers of monsters in the sea that violently pour out. In this step, the more tired the monks are, the more likely they will be to those hidden in the sea. The more advantageous the guys behind the scenes are; secondly, they use formations to urge many monsters to come ashore to fight. Whether it is the monsters on land or the numerous Five Spirit monks, it will always cause a lot of casualties, and This is also necessary for the use of black magic.
Therefore, Qian Chao came to Hanquan Valley a few days in advance and made targeted arrangements. They walked around Hanquan Valley and arranged many formations in advance. Qian Chao's formations are also cleverly arranged. They are all iron plates the size of a human face, which he refined at his residence. The formations are arranged on them. All he needs to do is hide them in a secret place. This is also the first time Qian Chao has used evil magic. The function of these formations is that once someone or a monster dies around them, their souls will be absorbed and sealed by these formations arranged by Qian Chao.
Before doing this, Qian Chao explained to several companions that he would definitely not continue to use the banned souls. He would destroy these iron plates later and let the banned souls return to the world. And the reason why such a formation is set up has only one purpose: to compete with the evil beasts that may appear for their souls!
As long as the evil beast has fewer souls, its power will be weaker and the damage caused will be smaller. Qian Chao is certain about this. In this way, even if there is an evil beast, it will be easier for people to deal with it. .
Therefore, when the formation was activated and what happened was almost the same as what Qian Chao had expected in advance, Qian Chao had some confidence in his heart and probably knew how to deal with it next.
But even though they were confident, for Qian Chao, the five of them, and others such as Luo Ying and others, the sudden changes in the monsters in the sea in front of them were still very surprising.
To describe it in one sentence: endless and fearless of death!
Among the five people now, Lu Pingchuan has been blocking the front, followed by Li Jian and Yan Xuan.
Among these three people, Yanxuan's power is still the most powerful at this time. Ever since the monster in the sea went crazy and rushed towards the shore desperately, Yanxuan's Phoenix Feather Fire Sword has been unleashed. Li Jian might be able to handle the huge impact, but it would be difficult for Lu Pingchuan to deal with so many guys with just a pair of fists. In front of Yanxuan, there were all kinds of shelled and armored ones, waving claws, long sharp claws, long beards, open mouths showing sharp teeth, spitting black juice or water arrows, rushing They were either fast or crawling slowly, howling or silent, and there was such a huge black mass. Among the groups of monster beasts that rushed over, from time to time there were streaks of flames like long feathers of fire phoenixes sweeping across. The fire flashed out from time to time wherever it passed, and the sound of "chacha" was heard. Whether the monsters were covered in hard shells or thick armor, they were all destroyed by the Phoenix Feather Fire Saber. The two sections fell one after another like waves of wheat under a sharp scythe. Even those short and dense guys who came close to the ground and water could not escape in front of Yanxuan. Her Phoenix Breath Technique used When it came out, a bright red flame spewed out amidst the chirping of the phoenix. The guys who were being burned were heard "peeping and peeling" in the place they passed. As the salty water mist evaporated, a blast of grilled seafood was heard. The cooked aroma spread, making Lu Pingchuan swallow his saliva and look straight in front of Yanxuan.
And Li Jian also frequently used his sword here. On the side of Yanxuan's fire knife, Li Jian was checking for her omissions and wandering around her. The group of monsters was too dense and too dense for Yanxuan to kill them all. , whenever a demonic beast took the opportunity to pounce from the gap of Yanxuan's fire knife, Li Jianjian stabbed it with a sword. There were many demonic beasts in this sea, and Li Jianjian also touched the fatal spots of many demonic beasts. It is clear that when the sword is thrust out, one will never confront these guys head-on, but only look for their fatal weaknesses. Once the spiritual sword is thrust in, it will never be stabbed with a second sword.
As for Lu Pingchuan, he is even busier. He has found that every time he kills a guy, he can no longer take a leisurely look at what he has gained as before. Although Yanxuan is in front, there are monsters one after another. The constant pounces from the water also made him frantic, and he kept punching out with his big fists, making a "thumping" sound, making the juices of those guys splash everywhere.
Behind the three of them were Qian Chao and Tang Ping. There were always monsters jumping out of the water or coming from above. Tang Ping's two blade-winged warblers were hovering above her head. Whenever there was something, The monster jumped, pounced or smashed over, and the two big birds whirled around, strangled with their extremely sharp feathers, and what fell after the bloody light were just a few pieces of the monster's body. On the ground, Tang Ping's "A Tu" was also patrolling around her feet. If a monster could fall down, that would be when "A Tu" was happy. It only exposed its sharp dorsal fin on the ground. A few people swam quickly around the fallen monster, as if a few rays of sword light were flashing against the ground, and then the fallen monster was cut into several pieces.
Because there are four partners contributing, Qian Chao seems to be very leisurely.
He looked to the side.
Nearby, Luo Ying, Yan Shuang, Lu Shuang, Wenyuan and Luo Bin stood in a row and used their methods to resist the various monsters that rushed up. There were also Fan Yi, Ma Hu and Fang Yang. The same goes for Fang Han, Cui Yin, and Gu Yuan. They all stood in a row facing the direction of the water, using various means to resist the monster beasts that kept rushing out. There would be flashes of fire in front of these people, and from time to time a big fireball would fly out and explode into the group of monster beasts. Accompanied by a weird roar, those guys would run away with their bodies covered in flames until they fell dead; or there would be ice. Flying, pieces of ice crystals shot out like stars in the sky, and monster beasts fell into pieces at the sight; from time to time, sword lights danced and danced, and penetrated the flesh of each monster with a "click" sound. Body.
It is possible to resist these monsters.
However, if you continue like this, there will always be times when you are tired, exhausted, and your spiritual energy is exhausted. In that case, you will have fallen into the trap of the guy who launched this formation.
Qian Chao was naturally unwilling, and he already had a countermeasure.
After a few hand gestures, a ball of light surged out, spinning constantly on top of Qian Chao's head, and then divided into many shining light spots and spread out. Finally, these light spots formed a large circle and surrounded Qian Chao and others. They were all covered in it, and finally, following Qian Chao's trick, these light spots fell down in unison.
It is the spirit locking formation, but Qian Chao has figured out a new method, which can combine several spirit locking formations together, so that the range that can be controlled is much larger.
These people had already worn the small wooden sign on their bodies according to Qian Chao's instructions. Even Tang Ping's Atu had tied such a small wooden sign around his neck in advance, so that when the formation fell, they would not be able to do it at all. You won't be affected by this formation.
Qian Chao did this just to save effort. Who knows what kind of situation there will be today. He can save his spiritual energy to deal with the following things.
Li Jian, Lu Pingchuan and Yan Xuan also saw the formation fall and knew that it was Qian Chao's method.
It was lively now, and the five of them suddenly felt extremely relaxed.
As long as the monsters rush in, they will all collapse to the ground as soon as they step into the formation, unable to even let out a half-scream. If they rush in with a strong momentum, they will fall forward and "pop" He fell to the ground as if he was drunk. After falling to the ground, he could no longer move. In this way, Li Jian only had to walk up to the fallen monster and stab it lightly to kill it. Yan Xuan also There was no need to keep waving the fire knife to kill, but together with Tang Ping, they began to help Lu Pingchuan, and Lu Pingchuan began to pick and choose each one, killing them first and then seeing what was on this guy. It’s a good thing. Whether it’s the demon pill or whatever, Tang Ping will keep it first, and then keep the rest that he likes. If he doesn’t like the ones, he just grabs them and throws them back into the water, but he has to move more quickly. , otherwise the monster beasts that kept coming from behind would pile up in the blink of an eye, which made Lu Pingchuan very confused. He kept complaining that these guys didn't know how to die. In the end, he simply stopped looking and punched If you beat them to death, put them all in a bag and check them later.
There was only one situation during which a thick and extremely long tentacle stretched out from the water. This thing was hidden behind a group of monsters and did not attract attention. It was always hanging on the ground, so it was not affected by it. Under the influence of Qian Chao's formation, when those monsters stepped into the formation and fell to the ground, they suddenly reached out and wrapped Lu Pingchuan tightly, and then a strong force came and grabbed Lu Pingchuan. Just go to the water.
This came so suddenly that everyone was caught off guard, and Lu Pingchuan's body fell into the water with a "dong" sound.
"Brother Lu!" Tang Ping exclaimed and followed immediately.
"Wait!"
Qian Chao saw the cold air in Tang Ping's hand and knew what she was going to do. Tang Ping planned to freeze the large area of water first, and then get Lu Pingchuan out. Even if he suffered frostbite, it would be better. Dead in the water.
"look!"
The water suddenly seemed to be boiling, the waves surged, and then two loud "dong dong" sounds came from the water, and the water waves burst into the sky one after another, but the water waves were as black as ink. Then half of Lu Pingchuan's body suddenly emerged from the water, and he was walking up to the shore with a grin on his face. His shoulders, chest, waist, and one leg were all wrapped with thick tentacles, which stretched his body. It was extremely tight, but he didn't care. Apart from his face being slightly pale, he was in good spirits. He cursed and struggled toward the shore. If there was too much resistance in the water, he would turn around and grab the big tentacles and tug them hard a few times.
"Oh My God!"
Qian Chao and others stood there to answer him, looking in a daze!
Not only them, but Luo Ying and others next to them also looked a little straight in their eyes!
What Lu Pingchuan dragged up was a fat, round, two-story-tall guy. The thing's whole body had a weird pale color. The guy's body was covered with tentacles, and he was being pulled up by Lu Pingchuan. Pingchuan dragged him, and when he saw the sword in Li Jian's hand flashing white, and a pair of fire knives coming out of Yanxuan's hand, he quickly shouted, "Don't chop, don't chop, if you chop it off, you won't be able to pull it up!"
"Big octopus!" Tang Ping said blankly. She didn't expect that Lu Pingchuan was so fierce. He was able to escape after being sucked into the water by this thing. No, he didn't escape. He also captured the big octopus from the water. When it came out, it was really... amazing!
"I'm freezing to death. This water is so cold." As soon as Lu Pingchuan dragged the big guy into the formation, the tentacles immediately became limp and slid down from his body. "Is this a big octopus? It's not big! Water!" There is a bigger one inside, I don’t know how much bigger it is!”
Lu Pingchuan's words made several people stunned again. Who knows what other powerful guys are under this vast ocean, but the one in front of him is not small. Qian Chao immediately thought of the benefits of the octopus eye beads, and immediately Said: "Quick, take its eyes, good stuff!"
After that, the five people still relied on this formation to deal with the incoming monsters. The only threats to them were those that jumped out of the water and jumped to the shore. However, with the five people's methods, they could definitely kill them on the ground.
…
"Senior Sister Luo!" Qian Chao shouted.
"What's wrong?" Luo Ying took a step back and came to Qian Chao while panting.
"How many sets of spiritual lock stakes does Senior Sister Luo carry with her?"
"What's the meaning?"
"look."
Qian Chao pointed to her side. There were too many monsters rushing out of the water. Except for Lu Pingchuan, who entered the water and escaped from danger and made a big noise, which made Luo Ying take a look, the rest of the time she was so busy that she had no time to look at the money. How did these little guys like Chao deal with it? Looking back now, Luo Ying immediately understood that Qian Chao had arranged a formation there, which should be the Soul Locking Formation, but she also immediately saw the difference. First, it was Qian Chao. Chao's spirit-locking formation was much larger than usual, and secondly, those little guys were actually walking around in the formation, unaffected by the formation!
For Luo Ying, who was also proficient in formations, what she saw before her was a bit unbelievable.
But I have to say that this method is indeed simple and effective to deal with the monsters pouring out in front of you!
"How did you do it?" Luo Ying didn't expect Qian Chao to reveal everything when he asked. At worst, this kid would just help him set up the same formation.
What Luo Ying didn't expect next was that Qian Chao told her without reservation how to arrange a larger spirit locking array, and then he grabbed a handful of wooden signs with silk ribbons and handed them over.
"Senior Sister Luo, if everyone wears this, they will not be affected by the formation. That's how we are."
Luo Ying only had one set of spirit-locking stakes for the spirit-locking formation, so Qian Chao gave her a few more sets.
This made Luo Ying a little touched. Qian Chao's methods must have been obtained with great difficulty. Now he actually said it without any reservation. It seems that this boy Qian is still very reliable in emergencies. She He had a cheerful and energetic personality. He reached out and patted Qian Chao on the shoulder vigorously and said:
"You're good, Mr. Qian!"
The wooden signs were divided and everyone wore them. Then Luo Ying used the method taught by Qian Chao. A cluster of light spots spread out, trapping these people in it. After falling down, they immediately started to rise. Variety.
The monsters that rushed over fell to the ground one by one, and it became extremely easy to deal with them. You can kill them with a stab of the sword at will, and then keep the ones you like, and kick them into the water if you don't. Just make a big pile in front of them. This really made Luo Ying and Fan Yi feel more relaxed. Moreover, there were more people on Luo Ying's side, so it seemed more relaxed than Qian Chao's side.
Fan Yan touched the small wooden sign hanging on his waist, and then looked at the various monsters on the ground that were not dead but would never move. He sighed that this formation technique was really ingenious. He heard from Luo Ying After talking about the origin of this formation, he looked at Qian Chao and saw that the junior brothers and sisters were also dealing with the monsters there. After this incident, Fan Yi felt very fond of Qian Chao. He secretly thought that Junior Brother Qian was of the same mind as the sect and was so smart that he would definitely be of great use in the future.
…
However, compared to how relaxed Qian Chao and Luo Ying were here, the rest of the Hanquan Valley around this large water was completely different!
The numerous monster beasts that kept pouring out of the water only suffered at this point where Qian Chao and the others suffered, but in other places, they had the upper hand.
The numerous monsters on the shore were impacted by the monsters in the water. They were originally clinging tightly to the shore. Now their formations are uneven. Many places have been washed ashore by the monsters in the water. Those monster beasts either had fins and tails or were covered with scales, and they actually chased those monster beasts with sharp claws and claws on the shore and retreated steadily!
However, there are also extremely ferocious monsters on land who are not afraid and have been trying their best to resist. Often such monsters are huge and extremely powerful and can support them alone. Those monsters that rush out of the water are among them. There is no opponent in front of him at all. As long as he rushes over, he will die. There are also those monsters of the same kind that are good at coordinating against the enemy and working together. Such land monsters may not look big in size, but they have extremely rich experience in facing enemies. Led by a leader, they may advance Either retreat, follow orders and prohibitions, or pretend to retreat to lure the enemy, or attack from two sides or encircle and attack together. In front of them, the monsters in the water who came ashore were either besieged to death or dragged to exhaustion and inevitably died again. Therefore, no matter whether the two sides win or lose, the shore of the big water in Cold Spring Valley sounds noisy, with wails and roars. At first glance, it looks like mud rolling, beasts surging, and flesh flying everywhere!
In addition, the countless various monster birds in the sky have given up hunting in the water. Now they are also aiming their sharp beaks and claws at the guys who climbed onto the shore. Groups of monster birds swoop down, except for A few unlucky ones died in the mouths of those monsters in the water, and most of them flew away with twisting creatures in their claws as they hovered.
As for the monks, most of them have retreated. The largest number of monks in Hanquan Valley is only a dozen or so. Even Luo Ying is having a hard time dealing with them. Naturally, the others are even more difficult to deal with. Among them There are also those who retreat slowly or are greedy, and the result is only a messy blood trail on the shore.
Among the people who retreated were Xiao Xian and Min'e. If Min'e hadn't had a premonition of something bad and pulled Xiao Xian up into the air in advance, they might have been injured. Now they Under his feet were densely packed monster beasts charging at each other, making Xiao Xian still a little jealous.
"Junior brother Xiao, you can't take risks. What you gained today is quite a lot. Even if you go back now, you will still gain a lot. If you are greedy, be careful and you will be in danger. The gain will not be worth the loss."
It was rare for Min'e to persuade like this, so Xiao Xian naturally followed the advice and nodded in agreement. Then Xiao Xian looked around, and other monks nearby had already stood up and stared down. Among them was Cheng Qantang who was nearby. With Mei Qing and those people.
But when he continued to cut further, Xiao Xian found that Cao Ze hadn't moved. He was still trying his best to deal with the monsters that were coming up. It has to be said that although this Cao Ze was an out-and-out He is a disciple, but his cultivation and methods are really superior. He actually managed to survive under the siege of those monsters!
…
Qian Chao, on the other hand, was dealing with those monsters while waiting for things to continue to develop.
There will always be development. Qian Chao doesn't know what the next step of Wen Liang's people will be, but since the formation has been activated, there must be a back-up plan. Anyway, he came with preparations. Just wait. .
Not only Qian Chao and the other five were waiting, Fan Yan was also waiting. After dealing with those casual cultivators at night last time, Fan Yan also wanted to know what new tricks those guys would use if something really happened this time. .
However, after they waited for a while, they didn't find any new ways to deal with Yan Shuang. Instead, two people ran away in panic.
One male and one female.
The man among them was half covered in blood and was obviously seriously injured.
"Help!" The woman shouted first, full of panic.
"Help...help!" The man shouted weakly.
Qian Chao and others were naturally attracted. After seeing the person clearly, they couldn't help but feel surprised. Qian Chao found that the injured person was actually...
Han Tian!
