"Is this a formation blessing? The formation has been set up? So fast?"
Deacon Wang was surprised and happy when he saw these two huge spiritual blessings. He quickly turned to look at the col at the back and saw Brother Peng who was presiding over the formation, and Xu Ke who was guarding the side.
Deacon Wang didn't pay much attention to Xu Ke. He just thought that this kid was smart and found an opportunity to fish in an honest way.
"Master Nephew Peng, you can successfully complete the layout of the grand formation, which is a great achievement!"
Deacon Wang sent a message to Senior Brother Peng who was in charge of the formation in the rear mountain col, "I will definitely ask the sect for credit for this matter!"
"Uncle Wang, thank you very much."
Senior Brother Peng replied via voice transmission: "Junior Brother Xu next to me is also indispensable for being able to arrange the formation so smoothly."
Huh? This guy Xu Ke...can do it!
It has only been less than a day, but the relationship with Peng Zhengqing, the chief outer disciple of the Formation Hall, has been so good?
As for the so-called "indispensable contribution", Deacon Wang doesn't really believe it.
Xu Ke is of course an excellent disciple, but he is just an excellent farming disciple. What help can he have in setting up formations?
This was clearly Peng Zhengqing's deliberate effort to give him the credit.
"Uncle Wang, the Five Elements Formation can also launch long-range attacks. Please mark the attack direction for me, uncle."
At this time, Peng Zhengqing sent another message to Deacon Wang and made a request.
"good!"
Deacon Wang quickly agreed, then rose into the air and fired a beam of fire at the beasts swarming below the cliff.
There was a loud bang and a pillar of fire shot into the sky.
"Master Nephew Peng, just blast away at that pillar of fire."
After casting the spell, Deacon Wang sent a message to Peng Zhengqing.
"clear!"
Peng Zhengqing agreed, stepped forward again, waved his magic sword, and a stream of water fell on the Xuanwu formation flag.
"Guishui Formation, wake up!"
I saw the Xuanwu shadow on the formation flag looking up to the sky and roaring. The wind and clouds in the sky suddenly changed, and the water vapor gathered sharply, condensing into billowing dark clouds.
Water formation?
Xu Ke was a little confused about Peng Zhengqing's operation. The attack power of the water array was definitely not as good as the fire array. Why did he activate the water array?
The next moment, Peng Zhengqing waved his magic sword again, and a white light hit the white tiger formation flag.
"Gengjin Formation, rise!"
The sharp and cold Gengjin Qi soared into the sky from the Five Elements Formation and merged into... the billowing dark clouds that filled the sky.
"The rain of Gengjin swords falls!"
He opened his mouth and shouted loudly, and Peng Zhengqing swung the magic sword in his hand heavily.
"Kala!"
A thunder erupted in the sky.
The next moment, countless raindrops mixed with Gengjin Qi revealed a sharp and icy cold light, like countless sword lights, pouring down from the sky, covering the sky and the earth.
Damn it! Can you still play like this?
There was a look of surprise in Xu Ke's eyes, but he was also inspired by it.
This trick...I learned it!
If it rains, I have the rain spell. Gengjin Qi, I have sharp skills.
However, this spell requires two kinds of spiritual power to be activated at the same time in order to cast it smoothly.
This is not a problem. When I first practiced Kanyu Technique, I had to use five kinds of spiritual power at the same time!
As long as I clearly calculate the trajectory and fluctuation frequency of the two spiritual powers, I can successfully cast this "compound spell".
By analogy, I can even use this "compound spell" method to combine various spells into a more powerful compound spell.
Sure enough, spiritual practice cannot just be done behind closed doors.
Seeing more and seeing more of the world makes it easier to be inspired and get inspiration, which allows me to draw parallels and create more ideas.
When I lacked magic skills in the past, I had a lot of imagination.
Now... I have too many spells in hand, so I become lazy and don't explore the potential of the spells deeply. This is wrong.
After some reflection, Xu Ke focused on Peng Zhengqing's manipulation of the magic circle.
Under this "Gengjin Sword Rain", the dense rain of swords continued continuously, which was completely "washing the ground"!
No matter how large the beast tide is, under the attack of such a large-scale destructive spell, there will definitely not be half a benefit.
No wonder Peng Zhengqing dared to say that "activating the formation is the greatest support."
The formation mage is indeed terrifying.
As long as the formation master is given time to set up the formation in advance, once the altar is established, it will be a war fortress integrating offense and defense, and a fort with unlimited firepower.
As long as no one destroys the formation nodes, and as long as no one uses decapitation tactics to kill the formation master, the formation master can continue to control the formation for a long time, bursting out continuous and powerful firepower.
However, the weaknesses of the Array Master are also obvious.
If it is an encounter and there is no time to arrange the formation in advance, the formation master can only use the temporary formation disk that he carries with him to set up the formation, and his strength will be greatly weakened.
Despite this, when it comes to positional warfare in the world of cultivation, that is the world of formation masters, and other monks are simply incomparable.
At this moment, Xu Ke was much more confident that Haoyang Immortal Sect would win this battle.
There must be many formations deployed along the entire defense line. With these formations, the possibility of the beast tide breaking through the defense line is extremely low.
The only thing to consider is... there may be an attack from the Golden Core Demon King.
Of course, Xu Ke also made plans for the attack of the Golden Core Demon King. Whether he was defending or escaping, he was well prepared.
"The tide of beasts has receded! The tide of beasts has receded!"
At this time, a burst of cheers broke out from the defense line on the top of the mountain.
"Master Nephew Peng, you can stop the formation, the beast tide has receded!"
Deacon Wang flew from the defense line on the top of the mountain and landed near the altar. He nodded to Peng Zhengqing, "Well done! You take the lead in this battle!"
Peng Zhengqing stopped the movement of the formation, turned around and saluted Deacon Wang, "Uncle Master, thank you."
After being humble, Peng Zhengqing said to Deacon Wang: "Uncle Wang, next, I plan to extend the formation to the defense line on the top of the mountain. In addition, we also need to connect the formations at various defense lines."
"no problem."
Deacon Wang smiled and nodded, "I will arrange the formation arrangements. If you need anything, we will fully cooperate with you."
"I really have a request."
Peng Zhengqing pointed at Xu Ke, "Uncle Wang, this junior brother Xu is very savvy and cooperates very well with me. I want him to help me set up the formation."
"oh?"
Deacon Wang turned to look at Xu Ke and thought to himself: This guy Xu Ke is really capable!
Xu Ke suddenly had a very good relationship with Senior Brother Zhuo Muxian before, and now within just one day, he has a very good relationship with this rising star of the Formation Hall. The talent for interpersonal communication is ridiculously strong!
"No problem! Xu Ke will listen to your arrangements from now on!"
Deacon Wang naturally had no objections and agreed casually.
"Thank you, uncle!"
Peng Zhengqing quickly handed over his hands and thanked him.
"Thank you, senior brother, thank you, uncle!"
Xu Ke also quickly thanked the two of them. Following Peng Zhengqing in setting up the formation, Xu Ke was certainly very satisfied.
During this beast tide war, the sect's method of calculating military merit was also adjusted.
Alchemist, Talisman Master, Formation Master, Weapon Refiner, these "logistics" positions also count for combat merit. As long as you complete the task with quality and quantity as required, it is a military achievement.
Fishing? Who doesn't like it! There is no need to go directly to the battlefield to fight, but you can also use melee combat skills, and you can also learn skills from others. It is simply not ideal.
——
While Xu Kefo was fishing, others were struggling.
Qingfeng Mountain Defense Line.
Zhang Lingfeng held a long sword in both hands and looked up at the herd of beasts swarming in front of him. There was a bit of coldness on his face, but there was an eagerness in his eyes.
This beast tide war is my chance!
As long as I achieve enough meritorious service in this battle, I can become the chief outer disciple of Sinong Hall, and I can even be promoted to the inner sect and become an inner disciple by virtue of my military exploits!
Of course, if you want to accumulate enough merit, you definitely can't do it by yourself.
Zhang Lingfeng turned to look at the group of junior disciples following behind him, with a smile on his face.
These junior brothers are grateful for my kindness and admire my character. They are very happy to credit me with their merits and help me soar to the sky. How can I live up to the kindness of my brothers?
"Brothers, here's your chance to make a difference!"
With a move of the long sword in his hand, Zhang Lingfeng shouted, "Follow me...kill!"
The sword light roared into the sky, and with Zhang Lingfeng's ambition to make great achievements, he charged towards the swarming beasts.
——
Black Dragon Ridge defense line.
"Senior Brother Zhao, are these animal materials really unusable? Is there no way to do it?"
Gao Zhengzheng looked at the piles of animal carcasses in front of him, looking at the animal materials such as muscles, bones, skin and horns, with the light of spiritual stones shining in his eyes.
"I've told you many times! These materials are useless!"
Fu Ludian Zhao Qingshan rolled his eyes at Gao Zhengzheng, "These beasts now come from Hengduan Mountain. All the original spirit beasts in the local area have been killed long ago. The beasts from Hengduan Mountain all have impurities in their bodies. Spiritual power will interfere with the operation of spiritual power and is completely useless.”
"But...I saw many people collecting these materials!"
Gao Zhengzheng was still unwilling, "If it's useless, what are they doing collecting materials?"
"Of course it's because they don't know these materials can't be used!"
Zhao Qingshan replied angrily: "Just like you before, didn't you spend a lot of money to collect these useless materials?"
"But the sect is also collecting these materials!"
Gao Zhengzheng still didn't want to believe it, "After every war, the sect would organize disciples to collect animal materials and count them as trophies. Individuals would be divided into six levels, and the sect would take 40% of it. If these materials are really useless, the sect will Why take it back?"
"Do you know how much money the sect spent to win this battle?"
Zhao Qingshan sighed, "Not counting the rewards for the disciples' military exploits, the consumption of living materials for more than 100,000 people, the consumption of materials for setting up formations, and the consumption of elixirs and spells, the money is like running water!"
"so……"
Gao Zhengzheng's eyes lit up, "The sect plans to use these animal materials to deceive people? Selling fakes?"
"How can it be so bad? If you really sell fake products, the sect's reputation will be ruined!"
Zhao Qingshan rolled his eyes again, "Aren't you thinking about how to use those animal materials? I heard from my master that the Master of Fulu Hall and the Master of Refining Hall are studying how to remove the impurities in these animal materials."
"Huh? Why didn't you wait until now to say something so important?"
Gao Zhengzheng was furious for a while, "The Master of Fulu Hall and the Master of Refining Hall are both Jindan Masters. With them taking action, is there anything that can't be solved? You should tell me earlier!"
After saying that, Gao Zhengzheng let out a strange scream, turned around, rushed toward the battlefield littered with corpses, and began to collect materials.
"Hey...why are you running so fast?"
Zhao Qingshan shook his head helplessly, "My master said that even if Jindan Zhenren takes action, there is no way to find a solution for the time being. Those impurities of spiritual energy are completely grown in the materials, and they may not be removed at all."
——
Red flame mouth.
This is a plain area where the gravel field leads to the Haoyang Sect's headquarters.
There are mountains blocking it on the left and right sides, but here is a vast plain with no danger to defend.
Haoyang Immortal Sect has set up the tightest defense line here.
All the warships gathered at the Chiyankou defense line. The Jindan Zhenren Dharma protector elder personally sat at the Chiyankou defense line.
As the direct disciple of the Dharma Protector Elder, Li Muzi was naturally also here.
"Lihuo Golden Feather Sword!"
With a loud shout, Li Muzi, who was wearing a long red dress, burst into golden-red flames, and the flames spread out behind her like a pair of wings.
With a wave of the long sword in his hand, streaks of golden-red sword light, like feathers, swept out towards the swarming beasts ahead.
One sword wiped out a hundred feet, and countless beasts fell to the ground.
"Junior Sister Li is mighty!"
"After this battle, Junior Sister Li has the most outstanding military achievements!"
The surrounding Haoyang Immortal Sect disciples cheered and cheered.
——
Xishanao.
Xu Ke followed Peng Zhengqing and made a detailed inspection of the Five Elements Formation that had just been "tested".
After confirming that there was no problem with the formation, the two returned to the Xishan'ao camp.
"The battle merit list has been announced!"
"On the first day of the battle, the true disciple Li Muzi ranked first in the battle merit list!"
As soon as he entered the camp, Xu Ke heard a noise coming from the camp.
When I got closer, I saw a flagpole erected in the center of the camp, with a huge gold-red banner hanging on it.
On the list, each name shines brightly.
Ranked first is the name of the true disciple Li Muzi, whose battle achievements are: fifteen thousand six hundred and forty.
One day is equivalent to killing more than 15,000 beasts in the early stages of Qi training?
It’s so scary!
Xu Ke couldn't help but was speechless when he saw this feat.
Looking down, Xu Ke was unfamiliar with the long list of names that appeared behind them. It is estimated that these people should be true disciples, inner disciples and the like.
After fifty, Xu Ke saw a familiar name.
Fifty-fourth on the battle merit list: Peng Zhengqing.
Senior Brother Peng set up a large formation and used the formation to repel a wave of beasts. Naturally, he made great achievements in battle.
However, there is some gap between the number of combat achievements and the number of enemies killed. According to Xu Ke's estimate, the number of beasts killed by that "Gengjin Sword Rain" was at least tens of thousands, but the combat merit was only over 4,000.
It seems that the battle merit of the formation master is not only calculated by the number of enemies killed, but should also be calculated.
This is normal. The magic weapons used to set up the formation are all high-level "formation bases" provided by the sect bosses. If you use the formation to gain military merit, of course you have to discount it, otherwise it will be unfair to others.
Eighty-fourth on the combat merit list: Zhang Lingfeng.
Xu Ke saw another familiar name on the battle merit list.
Senior Brother Zhang actually has such military exploits? It seems that Senior Brother Zhang’s cultivation strength has increased greatly during this period!
The achievements in this battle are also a good opportunity for Senior Brother Zhang Lingfeng. I hope you can fulfill your wish!
At the end of the battle merit list, Xu Ke actually saw his name.
Number 996 on the battle merit list: Xu Ke. Battle achievements: one hundred.
Is there such a good thing?
You didn't fight a single monster, you fished all the way, and you actually made it onto the battle merit list?
