Chapter 220: Seeing movement as still as stillness, stillness as if movement
Comparing the movement skills of the two, combining his own movements, taking advantage of others and making up for his own shortcomings, Lu Feng gradually gained a little more understanding.
The surrounding scenery suddenly froze. Lu Feng was in a trance, thinking it was an illusion. However, after careful inspection, he discovered that it was not that the surrounding scenery suddenly froze, but that his speed had become faster.
See movement as stillness, stillness as movement.
This is the most appropriate description of Lu Feng's current Qinghe Bu movement. Generally speaking, it is also the third level of all movement techniques.
Whether it is Linglong Step, Qinghe Step, or even other body techniques, speed has the same definition.
First, move.
Second, be quiet.
The third level is the change of movement and stillness.
The first-level realm can be easily reached, and any body technique can be mastered to its full potential. If you want to comprehend "quietness" from movement, you need to integrate your body skills and reach a perfect state. When facing the enemy, you are attacked. At the critical moment, the "quiet" state can often be like a life-saving straw to avoid danger.
As for the third level, the change of movement and stillness is exactly what Lu Feng feels at this moment. Without losing any speed, when he encounters an obstacle that hinders his progress, he can become "quiet" in an instant, and he can immediately tell what is going on. Jump over, go around, or choose another path.
For example, when there were several huge rocks blocking the road ahead, Tang Yuan's first reaction was to jump directly over them, while Ye Fan took a few steps around and stepped on the rocks.
Lu Feng, who had reached the third level of Shenfa, instantly saw the position of the boulder clearly and discerned that there was a narrow gap in the middle of the boulder. He saved the time of detouring and jumping up, and zigzagged directly through it with great speed. Instead of slowing down, it actually went a bit faster.
However, when Lu Feng approached the gap, it seemed to others that his speed had not changed, but he himself felt the silence around him, making it easier for him to cross the gap.
Relying on these little time savings, Lu Feng gradually narrowed the distance between him and Tang Yuan. As long as he wanted to, he could overtake them at any time.
Lu Feng was very satisfied with this, using the least amount of spiritual energy to achieve the fastest speed. Back then, he was only able to perform the Qinghe Step at such speed with the strength of the Five Elements Realm, but now, with the strength of the Chakra Realm It was achieved.
Thinking of his seven souls, if the ban was lifted, Lu Feng even felt that he could enter a higher level of body art realm and produce afterimages of his debut.
As the sky gradually darkened, Lu Feng and the others finally arrived at the intersection of the outer and inner circles of the mountain range.
Because the route chosen by Lu Feng and the others was relatively remote, not even a single person was seen when they arrived.
Unfortunately, it was getting late and the danger had increased sharply, so it was no longer suitable to rush forward to look for traces of others.
The three of them found an open space nearby, began to rest and set up.
While cutting down the big tree, Tang Yuan said, "Is our route correct? Why can't we see a single person?"
Ye Fan paced and responded: "There is still a certain distance from the inner circle. Those who are weaker than us will definitely not be able to get here today, and those who are stronger will not stay here."
Lu Feng was already sitting cross-legged on one side, carving a jade stone in his hand, and said to the two of them: "No matter whether Xiang Tianming and his group will make other moves, we need to make arrangements. The mountains at night are far more terrifying than those during the day. , although this place has not entered the inner circle, it is inevitable that some blind soul beasts will come out to look for food."
Thinking of everything that happened during the day, Lu Feng always felt that there would be no peace tonight.
Tianming's group would be more restrained, but after seeing the opponent using soul attacks and controlling beast attacks, Lu Feng found that he still underestimated them.
Instead of taking action directly, they chose to control the beasts to make a sneak attack. In this way, if they succeeded, even if the Spirit Prison investigated them, they might not be able to find them.
Tang Yuan naturally understood the principle of taking precautions. After listening to Lu Feng and Ye Fan's arrangements, he quickly formed a circle in the open space with trees, with a diameter of more than a hundred meters.
After placing the last huge tree trunk, Tang Yuan looked at Ye Fan who was bending down to pour something on the trunk in the distance, and shouted: "Old Ye, what are you sprinkling?"
Ye Fan shouted without looking back: "Some things that beasts hate."
After hearing this, Tang Yuan guessed that it was something like sulfur, ginger, mustard tea, etc. that could prevent animals from entering the enclosure and isolate the smell. He stopped asking and walked towards Lu Feng. He felt a cold chill inexplicably. Upon closer inspection, no trace of the formation was found.
By the time everything was arranged, it was already midnight, and Lu Feng said, "Let's go, have a rest, take turns to keep vigil, and continue on our way at dawn."
Lu Feng couldn't guarantee whether he would be in danger. All he could do was to be as safe as possible.
Preparing for a rainy day is also the way for formation masters to practice. No matter where they are, once they take a break, they must set up formations to protect their own safety.
Therefore, the cultivation methods of formation masters consume far more resources than those of martial arts masters and pharmacists.
Mainly because of the weak self-protection ability, which leads to unnecessary waste and consumption of formations.
Inner circle of mountains.
Gu Wuyan and Zhao Wumian, one used formations to trap the soul beast, and the other used soul power to suppress the soul beast, pinning a Tianqing Hoof Sheep with the strength of the Condensing Plate Realm to the ground.
Xiang Tianming held a short spear in his hand. The short spear was like a pen. His spiritual energy gathered at the tip of the spear and imprinted the animal control pattern on the forehead of the hoofed sheep.
After the inscription was completed and the hoofed sheep stayed where it was, Xinghuayu said, "This is already the twentieth spirit beast, isn't it enough?"
Xiang Tianming responded seriously: "You only have one chance, and I don't want to make any mistakes again."
Gu Wuyan said with a smile: "Hua Yu, you managed to get this "Pattern Controlling Spear" with great difficulty. Just subdue a few more of them and use them as training."
The Pattern Taming Gun is one of the soul weapons used by the Beast Taming Manor to tame soul beasts. It has the effect of burning the beast taming pattern with a cross-level brand. With this, ordinary Condensing Pill Realm soul masters can easily tame soul beasts with the strength of the Condensing Plate Realm.
Although the pattern-controlling gun has a remarkable effect, the beast-controlling pattern carved by it can only last for two or three days. The longer the time, the more the soul beast's intelligence recovers.
Xiang Tianming looked up at the charming woman beside him and asked, "Hua Yu, I asked you to stare at them, what did you find?"
Xinghuayu smiled disdainfully and responded: "I didn't dare to get too close. From a distance, I saw them forming a big circle with trees in the open space and pouring some powder around. It should be... I probably thought that this was enough to drive away the beasts, so I rushed back while they were resting."
Zhao Wumian looked indifferent and joked: "With just a few of them, no matter how prepared they are, can they still stop the attack of dozens of spirit beasts?"
Xiang Tianming hesitated for a moment and reminded: "Even Jia Yong has fallen into their trap. It's better for us to be more cautious. Since they are prepared, let's wait for dawn, wait for them to enter the inner circle, and then take action when they are most relaxed. .”
He seemed to feel that something was still not right. To be sure, Xiang Tianming added: "Hua Yu, you have good experience in setting up hunting traps. They must pass through to get to the inner circle."
Cause them some trouble along the way. "
Xinghuayu smiled charmingly: "Okay, I will make them become hedgehogs tomorrow."
"Let's continue," Xiang Tianming said to Gu Wuyan.
…
As dawn approaches, the sky lights up slightly.
Lu Feng woke up from a light sleep and looked around at everyone who was safe and sound. He was a little puzzled. Ordinarily, if Xiang Tianming and his group still wanted to take action, last night should be the best opportunity. After all, it is far better to sneak attack and ambush the stationary prey than to hunt them. Moving prey is much easier.
Did their conscience show up and give up?
Lu Feng shook his head, somewhat disbelieving that Xiang Tianming and others would give up easily.
Since you are so forbearing, there will be no chance. Lu Feng knows very well that once they enter the inner circle of the mountain range, not to mention the dangerous spirit beasts around them, the complex terrain alone will be an obstacle to their ambush.
Tang Yuan opened his eyes, glanced around hazily, and muttered: "Was it all in vain? Those people didn't take action? Could it be that we ran too fast yesterday and they couldn't keep up?"
Ye Fan shook his head and said suspiciously: "They are good at controlling beasts. Even if they are not fast, it is not difficult to keep up with us through some hunting beasts who are good at searching."
Lu Feng was still a little wary: "No matter what the reason is, it's better for us to be careful and tidy up. Let's go to the inner circle and try to find the Ruan Earthworm Fruit as soon as possible."
After briefly handling the surrounding trees, Lu Feng glanced at the surrounding formations. Feeling distressed, he was not willing to remove them all. He secretly left a few behind just in case, and hid them one by one to avoid unnecessary damage. accidental injury.
This is the case for formation masters. Nine out of ten formations they set up throughout their lives are for defensive purposes, and very few are actually used.
But this is inevitable. Danger is everywhere. If you are lucky and care about the formation materials, then it is very likely that you will not be able to arrange the formation when danger approaches.
The three people set out to move forward. There was a stream close to the open space where they were stationed yesterday. After crossing this stream, they entered the inner circle. It is precisely because of the existence of this stream that the soul beasts in the inner circle rarely ran to the outside.
Taking a few pieces of driftwood as pedals, Lu Feng and the others easily jumped to the other side of the stream. Before they could stand firm, countless arrow feathers were suddenly shot from all directions, and along with the arrow feathers came several flying swords.
"Sword array?"
"Hunting trap?"
Tang Yuan immediately threw out the broken golden bell, forming a light shield to block most of the incoming arrow feathers.
Due to the flying swords hidden among the arrows in the sky, Lu Feng did not dare to advance for a moment and shouted: "Back off."
With the roar of the landing wind, the ground suddenly shook, and a large amount of quicksand emerged from the stream behind him, forming a channel in the blink of an eye.
While dodging arrows and flying swords, the three of them retreated towards the stream. The sudden quicksand blocked the river. No one dared to step in carelessly for fear of getting stuck. The three of them cast a look, avoided the mud path formed by the quicksand, and continued to step on it. Jumping back to the original place, he jumped onto the driftwood.
From a distance, seeing that neither Arrow Feather nor Flying Sword could save Lu Feng and the others, Xing Huayu and Gu Wuyan were a little disappointed. They originally thought everything was safe, but who would have thought that the other party actually had a protective weapon.
Looking at the defense of this light shield, it was impossible for ordinary arrow feathers to penetrate it at all. Ordinary soul weapons may not have it. Gu Wuyan couldn't figure out how a few soul masters from remote areas could have so many tricks.
On the other side of the stream, dust filled the sky. It turned out that the vibration was not caused by the appearance of quicksand, but by a tide of beasts in the inner circle of the mountain range.
