The last time Lu Jing came to Nightingale Valley was to choose a messenger.
At that time, his impression of this place was that it had beautiful scenery, singing birds and fragrant flowers, and it was very relaxing.
As the academy's usual place for nightingales, not only are there no large animals here, but not even a wild cat can be seen.
If Ye Gongmei hadn't said it himself, Lu Jing would never have known that there was an out-and-out ferocious beast hiding in this nightingale paradise.
According to Ye Gongmei, the ferocious beast actually doesn't have a very ferocious temper. It spends most of its time sleeping and goes looking for food when it wakes up. Its food is also very special, it is neither meat nor grass, but It is a kind of red soil unique to the Nightingale River Valley.
It belongs to the veritable category of living on earth.
And Lu Jing is now going to meet this ferocious beast that eats dirt for a living.
However, when he came to the place where the ferocious beast often hung out, he could not see the latter's shadow.
Lu Jing was not in a hurry. He first set up the formation, then went to the rock wall not far away. He dug out two kilograms of blood-red soil from the cracks in the rock wall with a knife and spread it on the large rock wall. The center of the array.
After doing all this, Lu Jing felt that everything was ready, so he hid behind a stone wall not far away, quietly waiting for the real master to appear.
But what Lu Jing didn't expect was that instead of waiting for the rightful owner, a group of uninvited guests arrived first.
It was a group of academy disciples, both men and women, and without exception, they all looked armed to the teeth.
Some were holding swords, some were holding talismans, and some, like Lu Jing, had prepared formation materials.
Especially one of the women in purple skirt, after arriving here, her expression suddenly changed after she glanced around.
Her companion who was traveling with her asked, "What's wrong?"
"Someone arrived one step ahead of us," the woman in the purple skirt said with an ugly look on her face, "and the formation was set up."
Everyone's expressions changed slightly when they heard this, and one of them said, "Are you sure?"
"It's unmistakable, and the formation he created is more powerful than mine. It's definitely not the first level." The woman in purple skirt looked solemnly.
"Intermediate formation?"
The fellow travelers looked at each other in confusion, "We have just established the foundation not long ago. Can any of the newcomers use the intermediate formation?"
"Most people's secret power is not enough to drive mid-level formations, but don't forget that there are three first-class qualifications among our new generation, and there is one who is suspected of perfect foundation building.
"Especially that Xia Huai. I have seen her drive an intermediate formation. Although she only has a few breaths of time, if others cooperate, those few breaths of time are enough to do a lot of things."
"Then this time we are going to be beaten first?" Several other people looked anxious when they heard this.
"We have been preparing for so long and tried nine times. It would be unlucky if we failed at the last step." someone complained.
Several other people also showed unwillingness.
On the contrary, the woman in purple skirt who was the first to speak had calmed down again and shook her head.
"The magic thing guarding that thing is very strong and cannot be defeated so easily. Otherwise, we wouldn't have tried so many times without success, so I think we should still have a chance."
"Do you mean to wait until they fail before we go up?" someone said.
"I am actually more inclined to join forces with them," said the woman in the purple skirt, "because this time we have made more preparations than the previous times, but you ask yourself, are you really sure that we can get what we want? ?"
As soon as she asked this question, several others fell silent.
Indeed, that strange thing was so powerful that it far surpassed other strange things in the academy. They had already fought against that strange thing several times, so it stands to reason that they should have a clear idea of the opponent's strength and methods.
However, the actual situation is that the more they fight, the more frustrated they are. This time they said they were fully prepared, but they still had no confidence in their hearts.
It would be a good thing if we could get a few more reinforcements to increase our chances of winning.
It's just that the things you get will be less, but it's better than nothing.
Because it seems that the secret that originally belonged to them has now been targeted by others, and the longer it is delayed, the more people will know.
At this time, cooperation naturally becomes the only option.
After thinking clearly about the stakes, everyone no longer had any objections.
So after a while, the woman in the purple skirt raised her head and said loudly, "I wonder which classmate is here, can you come out and see me?"
Lu Jing was busy consuming his secret power at the moment, and he didn't have much time to interact with people.
But after hearing these words, he still stood up from behind the rock. He had no choice but to pretend to be deaf since the other person took the initiative to speak and they were classmates, so he could only respond, "It's me. "
As he spoke, he walked out from behind the rock.
Lu Jing usually doesn't show up much, but every ten days and a half, he always comes up with something, and he has already become a famous figure in the academy.
So as soon as he showed up, everyone recognized him.
After meeting Lu Jing, many people naturally thought of Xia Huai, Yang Tao and even Yan Yun who were very close to him.
This made them feel worried and happy at the same time. They were happy because they might be able to get that thing today, but they were worried about how much they could get from the opponent's masters.
However, after waiting for a while, no one else appeared except Lu Jing.
Those who are impatient may simply ask directly, "Master Lu, where are your companions?"
"Oh, I came alone." Lu Jing said.
Everyone was startled, one person? But someone soon reacted and asked, "Is this your first time here, Master Lu?"
Lu Ding nodded, "Excluding the time when I chose the messenger, this is indeed my first time here."
"That's no wonder." The woman in the purple skirt nodded, "I'd like to teach Master Lu to know that that strange thing is very powerful. If you are alone... I'm afraid you won't be its opponent."
"It doesn't matter. I can't ask for it to be that strong."
The woman didn't take Lu Jing's words to heart. She just felt that the other party was being tough for the sake of face, so she asked according to the result she had previously discussed with other companions, "Since the opponent is so strong, I wonder if Master Lu is interested in joining forces with us?"
"Joining forces, joining forces with what?" Lu Jing felt confused for a while.
He came here to find ferocious beasts so that he could consume his secret power more efficiently, so he never thought about joining forces with others from the beginning to the end.
"Of course we'll join forces to deal with that weird thing."
"You also want to deal with that weird thing?" Lu Jing was surprised this time. He didn't expect that someone would compete with him for such an unlucky job.
