Read Jiange?
Liu Yuan remembered that Nianjiange had come to congratulate Mu Yuandi during the Nascent Soul Conference, and he was also a guest at that time.
After listening to Ren Feng's embellished explanation, Liu Yuan finally understood the whole story.
Nianjian Pavilion is also a sect with a long history of cultivating immortals. Although it is not as powerful as Lingtian Pavilion in the Yue Kingdom, it is better than Lingtian Pavilion because of its single-mindedness. They are extremely accomplished in the art of sword cultivation.
The sphere of influence of Lingtian Pavilion under the jurisdiction of Ren Feng happens to be adjacent to Nianjian Pavilion. The two families are bounded by Pengshui and do not interfere with each other.
But not long ago, fishermen in Pengshui discovered some artifact fragments while fishing, and Ren Feng unexpectedly felt the legacy of spiritual power.
He ordered people to continue fishing deeply, but found that there were the remains of an ancient underwater cave at the bottom of the water.
As a monk in the Qi refining stage, Ren Feng can only dive in briefly through the water repellent talisman, and it is inconvenient to go deep for a long time to explore.
What's more urgent is that Nianjiange got wind of it from somewhere and started to make plans. Although Ren Feng discovered the underwater cave first, its location was closer to the other side of Nianjian Pavilion.
Getting into the water was now a piece of cake for Liu Yuan. He asked the direction of Mingdong Mansion and set off immediately.
Liu Yuan used the Water Control Technique with his right hand and went straight under the Peng River. A layer of spiritual membrane was produced on his body surface, making him feel like he was on the flat ground when he was in the water.
The soul ants also poked their heads out at this time and found that it was underwater, and the blue soul ants began to get excited.
The blue spirit pattern lit up, and a cool water film established a second water-repelling layer, so that Liu Yuan could free his right hand to pinch the secret without having to maintain any spells.
When we reached the bottom of the water, the surroundings became darker and darker, and the visibility was only a few meters nearby. However, Liu Yuan, with his spiritual sense in the foundation-building stage, could detect a radius of several hundred meters, as if he was seeing it with his own eyes, so there was no problem.
He followed the route given by Ren Feng and walked under the water. After a while, the ruins of the building appeared.
When he arrived more than ten feet away from the ruins, Liu Yuan stopped and found that there were weak spiritual energy fluctuations around him.
It's always good to be careful. He released several blue soul ants in four directions. They have water shields on their bodies and can move freely underwater.
Sure enough, the Yuanshen ants discovered an abnormality when they approached the ruins. The spiritual power fluctuations suddenly increased in intensity as if they had received an early warning. The Yuanshen ants were torn to pieces by an undercurrent of huge force.
Fortunately, after passing through the pure body, their compressive strength was no longer what it used to be. Liu Yuan did not lose any of his energy, but it only took a lot of effort to gather them back.
Is there actually a defensive formation?
Moreover, he still maintains his spiritual power, and Liu Yuan only now has a high opinion of this ruins.
Then he received another signal from another direction, and couldn't help but sneered: What a small trick!
He waved his sleeves, and several bull ants rushed in that direction under the water shield of the blue soul ants. After a while, they returned in triumph.
A small earthworm-like insect was tightly clamped on the bull ant's pincers. The insect struggled to escape, but it was still twisting in vain. A faint spiritual power extends from its body to the south...
...In a small city not far from the south bank of Penghe River, a middle-aged monk carrying a sword box suddenly opened his eyes.
"No!" He said to another monk who was also carrying a sword box. "The bamboo shoots I was monitoring at the ruins at the bottom of the river were suddenly destroyed. It happened so suddenly that I didn't even have time to see the enemy. appearance."
"Who did this? Lingtian Pavilion? It seems that the monk Lingtian Pavilion in Peng County is not able to deal with the spiritual bamboo shoots so quickly." The other party was also surprised.
"Could it be that they have found help? What should we do?"
"No need to worry. I've seen that defensive formation, and it's not that easy to break. In two days, several uncles sent by our main pavilion will arrive. With their cultivation in the middle stage of foundation building, I can't think of it again. By the way, it’s a good bargain right now.”
"That's right. The ruins are closer to us. As long as the ruins are in our hands, Lingtian Pavilion has nothing to say."
"Exactly, exactly." The two comforted each other and relaxed.
At the same time, at the bottom of the Peng River, Liu Yuan fed the spy bug to the black ants, knowing that this spy must be the arrangement of Nianjian Pavilion.
It seems that they do not have the strength to break the formation underwater for a long time, so they can only monitor and wait for help.
My actions need to be accelerated. I don’t know when Nianjiange’s backup will arrive. In that case, even if Nianjiange doesn't do anything to him due to his identity, the fat he gets will still fly away.
He hurriedly summoned all the blue soul ants he could send, and began to explore along the edge of the remaining spiritual energy.
The range of this large formation is only a hundred feet in diameter. The water flow within the range is very strange. It hardly flows, but is extremely compressed and viscous. Under the reflection of light and shadow from the bottom of the water, everything inside is even more blurry.
Looking from a distance, the ruins are mostly covered by water plants, but one can still vaguely recognize the simple shape, which is not a product of this era.
Once the ants get close to the range of the spiritual energy, the viscous water flow inside is triggered and they tear violently.
However, after testing it several times, Liu Yuan quickly discovered the flaws of this formation. Whenever the water flow is stimulated, it will be extremely turbulent at first, but after another cup of tea, if it continues to be stimulated without stopping, the spiritual energy will gradually become unsustainable, and the water flow will not be able to flow lazily.
The time difference between this decay and recovery is about half an hour.
This is easy to handle. What Liu Yuan needs most is the cannon fodder for testing - the army of ants.
He used all the spiritual power of this spirit body to produce the largest number of army ants. Although they could not stay in the water for a long time, they could persist for a quarter of an hour without any problem.
The charge begins!
Thousands of army ants rushed towards the formation without fear of death. The stimulated water flow immediately surged, and for a while, the entire army ants were torn into pieces and flew away.
Liu Yuan felt the rapid consumption of spiritual power, and the consumption rate exceeded the budget. Army ants hang too many too fast. He estimated that if he continued like this, he would be drained dry, and he would not be able to last for more than a cup of tea.
After all, only the spirit body came out this time, lacking the complementation of the body, and the spiritual power reserve and recovery were less than half of normal.
It seems that the soul is also being used up. As soon as the thought flashed, the black soul ants immediately took action. They weaved a black blockade, activated their devouring ability, and recovered as much of the remains of the marching ants as possible to replenish the consumption of spiritual power.
The honeypot ants also began to contribute the spiritual power usually stored in their giant bellies. As the army ants continued to consume, the abdomens of the honeypot ants also shrank and shriveled, but this finally reduced the burden on Liu Yuan's spirit body.
The magic circle finally began to show its decline. The water flow gradually changed and slowed down, and the number of sacrificed army ants decreased. Liu Yuan survived the initial difficult time and became much more relaxed.
He released the largest bull ant colony, and after a few of them were swept away, they finally regained a foothold.
With the forward position, the bull ants formed a group tightly without any knowledge, which effectively slowed down the water flow in the formation.
Liu Yuan found the opportunity and rushed in at once.
