Seeing Bin Chao leading a group of people out of the light curtain, a disciple of the Holy Talisman Sect came over to greet him. After sizing him up for a moment, he called Bin Chao to the side, also drew a spiritual picture, and began to explain in a low voice. got up.
Liu Qingyi came with the others and stayed there to rest and wait. After taking a moment to look around, they found that there were many familiar people among the teams resting at the foot of the mountain in the northwest of Kuiyun Ridge.
At the foot of a mountain on the left, Chen Cangle of the Yangyuan Sect, Wu Heng, and Fan Xing monks from the Three Holy Temples formed a team and stopped to rest under the leadership of Ye Jiao and a late Yangyuan Sect monk.
There was also an acquaintance in a team on the other side. He was shirtless, holding a long pale golden stick in his hand, standing tall among a group of people. This person was the man surnamed Kou who had an encounter with Liu Qingyi and others in Cuiyun Mountain in the east. He met Shen Daoshi and others from the Xiaoyao Sword Sect. At that time, he was already at the seventh level of Tongyuan Realm. He single-handedly defeated a group of casual cultivators and captured a Thousand-leaf Wood Cicada. At this time, it seems that his cultivation has reached the eighth level of Tongyuan. I think the Thousand-leaf Wood Chan must have been refined a lot.
Liu Qingyi looked around and roughly counted, there were five teams that had arrived, and there was still one team that was breaking through the light curtain and heading this way. Counting his own team, this was at the northwest corner of Kuiyun Ridge. On a small slope, as many as seven teams have gathered.
Li Deqiang pointed in the direction of the man surnamed Kou and said to Yan Kuan: "Senior Brother, look, that man is so familiar. I always feel like I have seen him somewhere."
Yan Kuan looked in the direction pointed by Li Deqiang, frowned slightly, and said with some uncertainty: "I have indeed seen it somewhere. Where is it?"
"What kind of bad memory is this?" Liu Qingyi curled his lips and was about to speak when he saw Senior Brother Bin from the Tianji Sect having made an agreement with the disciple of the Holy Talisman Sect and walking over.
Binchao walked closer, gathered everyone together, raised his hand to draw a spiritual map, and began to point at the positions on the map and make arrangements in a low voice.
Liu Qingyi looked at the map of Kuiyun Ridge that Bin Chao had drawn, and found that the area that he and others were responsible for this mission had six small red dots marked by Bin Chao using the fire element, which was right next to Kui Yun. There are several foothills in the northwest corner of the ridge.
Liu Qingyi knew nothing about the Mountain and River Formation, and secretly cursed in his heart: "In addition to the previously buried formation flags, I wonder why there are so many formations in this Mountain and River Formation?"
What he didn't know was that once the mountain and river formation was deployed, in addition to the main formation eyes and formation nodes, the most critical thing was these formations scattered everywhere.
It should be noted that the formation characteristics of various mountain and river formations are laid out with the help of the soil strength of mountains, rivers and rivers. Its main formation is extremely powerful. Once deployed successfully, all formation segments will be placed under the protection of the large formation. Even some special formation segments can be transformed and transferred according to the characteristics of the formation.
Only these countless formations, large and small, used to harvest earth power, cannot be changed at all from beginning to end. The power exerted by the large formation is gathered from the endless flow of majestic earth power from the various formations to the main formation. It can be said that without these formations to continuously transport the earth's power, the mountain and river formation would have no foundation and would not be able to operate for a long time.
Originally, if one or two positions were destroyed, it would not cause any harm. Extracting less soil from a few or even a dozen positions would not affect the soil supply and normal operation of the main formation.
However, if too many of the outer formations are removed, it will most likely affect the stability of the mountain-protecting light curtain when the formation is formed, which will also increase the difficulty of forming the formation. After all, the mountain-protecting light curtain is rooted in the various formations located on the periphery of the formation.
Binchao continued to talk, and after a while, he simply divided the six positions he was responsible for into two groups.
According to his intention, the Heavenly Beast Sect is a group and the Tianji Sect is a group. Each group is responsible for patrolling three formations. If necessary, only two groups need to support each other.
Liu Qingyi thought for a while and suddenly realized: "These guys have a letter talisman in their hands. They say they are supporting each other. If something really happens, they will not only allow themselves and others to go over to support them, but they can also use the letter talisman to call the people on Kuiyun Ridge." High-level monks rushed to help. On the other hand, our group can only hope for support from Tianji Sect, and this kind of treatment is really far behind."
Yan Kuan, Bu Jiu and others' eyes flashed when they heard this, but they did not object to Bin Chao's arrangement. After all, this mission was led by him, a late-stage monk, and everyone from the Heavenly Beast Sect was at his disposal. share.
Everyone thought that there were late-stage cultivators in Tianji Sect, and they would be able to get some protection. However, after being grouped in this way, they completely became separate families and each had their own life. For a time, everyone was confused and disappointed.
As soon as Bin Chao waited for the grouping to end, he took the Tianji Sect team and left alone, leaving a bunch of people from the Tianshou Sect looking at each other.
I heard Yan Kuan teasingly say: "He, I got a good job, but it's a thankless job, and I was pushed aside."
Li Deqiang sighed: "Sir, the situation is stronger than the people, the situation is stronger than the people."
Wang Tianshui said uneasily: "They really don't care about us, right? We are on the same team after all! If anything happens to us, for the sake of fellow Taoists from the Southern Realm Immortal Sect, they shouldn't just die without saving us. .”
Yan Kuan curled his lips, looked at Wang Tianshui and said: "You are so optimistic, but you still think about your colleagues in the southern border. Oh, if something really happens, can you expect to rely on them?!"
Li Deqiang echoed: "Elder brother is right, we are really in danger this time! In my opinion, if someone really comes to destroy our position, let them destroy it, why bother too much. Let's just treat it as... just... Just take a nap, no one knows whether we are guarding or not."
Li Gongjun nodded and said: "This is an idea. Even if the three formations are destroyed, as long as it does not affect the operation of the formation, no one will be able to discover it."
Jamel Xiao scolded from the side: "You guys will make such bad ideas!"
Bu Jiu thought for a moment after hearing this, then smiled coldly and said, "What if our formation at these locations is affected?"
"That's possible!" Li Gongjun frowned.
Li Deqiang said in shock: "In that case, we will all be exposed."
Liu Qingyi couldn't hold back her smile and said, "Pfft...ahem, Niang Xipi! It's really Niang Xipi!"
For a long time, Bu Jiu had a gloomy face, and following the spiritual diagram, he began to lead everyone towards the three divided positions.
Not long after, a group of seven people flew to the foot of a mountain. Bujiu bent his body and looked at the border between the white dome light curtain and the foot of the mountain. He found a small white light thread, which was being pulled by the large formation. The earth veins poured gurgling energy into the light curtain.
Upon seeing this, Bu Jiu said happily: "Found it!"
All of a sudden, all the disciples of the Heavenly Beast Sect, including Liu Qingyi, gathered around, carefully looking at the white light thread, and couldn't help but marvel at it.
After a while, everyone, led by Bu Jiu, imitated the gourd and the gourd and found the other two positions they were responsible for.
The three positions were roughly only a few hundred meters apart, but they also circled several mountain corners around Kuiyun Ridge.
The top position is located on the slope of a forest with golden leaves, and is adjacent to the three positions patrolled by the Tianji Sect.
Everyone from the Tianshou Sect stopped here for a moment and saw Bin Chao leading a team from the Tianji Sect to a nearby position several hundred meters away.
The two parties looked at each other from a distance, nodded briefly, and then turned to the other side.
Liu Qingyi followed the team unhurriedly, leaving from the top formation and flying towards the middle formation. After stopping for a few breaths, he got up and headed to the next formation.
Yan Kuan complained during the march: "It's a waste of time to wander around like this. It's better to meditate and rest at one position. Leave one person at each of the other two positions to watch. If anything happens, use the sect's messenger to notify you. Wouldn't it be easier? ?”
Bu Jiu pondered: "Alone? If something happens, I'm afraid I won't have time to activate the communication talisman."
Li Gongjun said: "Let's go together. We'll be safe together. The worst we can do is run a few more times. If we continue to patrol at this speed, we can take care of all three positions in time. I think the person who destroyed the position can't accomplish his feats in an hour or three. In just a short time, Within time, we will surely be able to catch up.”
When Li Deqiang and Wang Tianshui heard this, they also repeatedly said yes to the idea of patrolling together.
Among the seven people from the Tongyuan realm who came to the north, they were the only ones with a slightly lower realm. Naturally, they were willing to hug together for warmth. It was almost a subconscious behavior to take shelter from Bu Jiu, Liu Qingyi and others who were at a higher realm.
Only Xiao Jingyan stood aside and said in a neutral tone: "Why do I need to use any communication talisman? From such a small distance, I should be able to hear even a few shouts in the air. You are just cowards!"
Everyone knows that Xiao Jingyan is a well-known person who is belligerent, strong, upright, ruthless, and heartless. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a human-shaped cannon.
Seeing his words, Li Gongjun, Wang Tianshui, and Yan Kuan all pursed their lips and remained silent. Only Li Deqiang still spoke plausibly: "It's better to be together. If you die, someone will collect the body. If you are alone in one place, you will still be alive if you die." If someone robs you, you will lose both your money and your life, and you will suffer a huge loss!"
Liu Qingyi, who had been listening quietly, couldn't hold it in anymore and burst out laughing.
Bu Jiu also smiled when he heard this. He looked at Li Deqiang and the others and said, "Let's go together and catch up. If we can hold it, we will hold it. If we can't, we will retreat. If it doesn't work, we can go over and find someone from Tianjimen. Why? With such a mere position, we senior brothers cannot handle it here."
The opinions were unified like this, and in the following time, the group of seven people stayed together, inspected one position, and then rushed to the next position together.
This continued until noon. Although the whole process was a bit monotonous, it was still peaceful. No monks from the enemy camp came to disturb and disrupt the position. There was almost no one on the left or right.
After a while, everyone inspected the formation at the top and stopped for a short rest on the golden forest slope. Suddenly, they heard a "click" sound coming from the large array of light curtains behind them.
Everyone looked back and saw that the white light filament at the foot of the formation suddenly brightened. The light curtain of the formation began to violently agitate almost at the same moment, continuously generating dazzling incandescent light spots, connecting the light curtain and the light filament at the formation foot. At the position where he was, a forceful spiritual pressure rushed towards his face.
The suddenly bright light filaments were extremely dazzling at this moment, stretching and twisting crazily, becoming thicker and thicker.
Everyone stared at this scene dumbfounded, knowing that this was probably what Bin Chao called a formation.
At this moment, the unpredictable power of heaven and earth contained in the great river formation filled everyone's hearts with shock, leaving them speechless for a long time.
Some people died, but not completely...
