Chapter 63 Formation
“The river flows downward and the blood flows upward. What is there upstream?”
None of the three people in Lu Cheng have any doubts about why there is blood in the river. .
Nowadays, there are a lot of monsters and beasts fighting in the area of Ten Thousand Beast Mountain, and it is normal for there to be a lot of blood.
“He Ling, go.”
Yuan Xiaodie took out a paper crane from her Qiankun bag, bit her finger and put it at the eye of the paper crane, then cast a spell with both hands to let the paper crane fly away.
Having just been rescued from a tiger's mouth, Yuan Xiaodie was eager to show off.
“…”
Lu Cheng wanted to speak at the side, but he held back after seeing that Yuan Xiaodie had bitten his finger. In fact, he wanted to say: Just put a little blood on yourself.
It is also possible that this spell requires fingertip blood, right?
"There are no monsters. At the end of the river is a very small cave...ah"
"What's wrong?"
Yuan Xiaodie opened her eyes, gritted her teeth and shook her head, saying: " Not long after entering the cave, the crane spirit disappeared, and everything was pitch black, completely I don’t know where the danger lies.”
“You two, it’s time for us to leave. I just used the art of seeing and hearing from the sky, and several waves of beasts will be here soon.”
< br>Besides, Lin Chuanli in black and red Taoist robes spoke at this time.
Following his words, Lu Cheng also felt faint vibrations coming from the ground.
"Miss Yuan, you just said that there are no monsters in the cave that He Ling is exploring?"
"Yes."
"Then take us there, for the time being. Go hide there for a while. "
Although the cave swallowing blood is weird, it seems that there is no danger of an outbreak. We only rest on the outside for a while. If we don't go deep, it shouldn't cause a crisis.
"Okay."
"Okay."
Lu Cheng's words were agreed by Lin Chuanli and Yuan Xiaodie.
Lu Cheng fought all the way and lost mana. Lin Chuanli had just forcibly absorbed the tiger demon's mana and needed to refine it. Yuan Xiaodie was now injured and urgently needed treatment.
Although that cave is a bit weird, it is only within the safe area that Linghe has already explored, so it should be fine.
The ground shook more and more violently, and the beast tide in the distance was approaching. The three of them immediately walked upstream along the river until they reached the cave.
To avoid the tide of monsters and beasts, the three of them stayed at the entrance of the cave and did not go any further.
In order to prevent the blood on his body from causing danger in the cave, Yuan Xiaodie quickly washed away the blood on his body with river water during the journey, and covered the wound with the hemostatic powder he carried with him.
"Let me protect the law first, then Miss Yuan, and then Brother Lin."
In such a dangerous environment, of course it is impossible for everyone to rest together, like Lu Cheng said.
"Okay."
Having just forcibly captured several strands of the tiger demon's mana, Lin Chuanli's face looked a little strange at this moment. He immediately agreed, then sat cross-legged and meditated at the entrance of the cave, waving his hands to resolve the backlash.
Being able to seize the mana of the foundation-building realm is very beneficial to him, but it is a bit difficult to resolve the mana counterattack. However, in a moment, white smoke rose above Lin Chuanli's head. It was obvious that he was fighting a lot inside. For awesomeness.
Most of the monks who practice the great method of conquering heaven and transforming spirits have mixed magic power in their bodies. It is of course beneficial to use pure energy to merge into the mixed ones.
Yuan Xiaodie swallowed the elixir to refine her skills. She was just frightened. In fact, the injury she suffered was not too serious.
An hour later, Lin Chuanli and Yuan Xiaodie each adjusted their inner aura and state.
Then Lucheng meditated and began to recover his energy.
Looking at the young Taoist sitting cross-legged on the stone practicing Qigong, Lin Chuanli subconsciously clenched his right hand:
“Such a powerful person, I may be his opponent in the world in the future. "Am I going to be suppressed by this person for the rest of my life?"
But then, Lin Chuanli's eyes fell on the two swords placed by Lu Cheng's hands again, and he suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck. , chills stand on end.
Recalling the scene in front of me of the Taoist using his sword to kill the Demonic Tiger of the Foundation Establishment Realm, the cold light of that sword was really shocking to the mind.
“Forget it, he has already mastered the swordsmanship that only the Foundation Establishment Realm should have in the Qi Training Realm. A peerless killer like this must either make friends with him or hand him over to the family to deal with, even if I I don’t have much confidence when I take action, let alone the people around me. There is also Yuan Xiaodie beside her. "
Yuan Xiaodie has finished adjusting her breath at this time. The pretty little girl is holding a pair of dark and ugly iron awls in her hands. She seems to be blocking them subconsciously. Between Lin Chuanli and Lu Cheng who was sitting cross-legged in meditation.
With her in the way, even if Lin Chuanli made a sudden move, he would at most kill Yuan Xiaodie and then be killed by the Taoist.
Of course people like Lin Chuanli would not do such a loss-making business.
This is the case for people in evil sects. If all kinds of inner demons grow, he may not do it, but if you don't take precautions, he may act impulsively.
The three of them took turns doing exercises to heal their injuries and restore their mana. By the time all three of them had recovered more than half of their health, the sky outside was already dark.
Many nocturnal monsters are particularly ferocious. The three of them plan to spend the night here and return to the Ten Thousand Beasts Cave Mansion tomorrow.
I have communicated with Lin Qingyue and Yuan Wuwu through spiritual talismans to reassure the three of them.
“This looks more like a formation than a cave lurking with monsters.”
late at night.
Lu Cheng, who had recovered, looked at the river in front of him and saw that the water in the river was dark red, even darker than during the day.
A monster with such a level of cultivation, unless it is trapped, will not be satisfied with expending energy and only swallowing this little blood food, which is not enough.
“Yes, with such long-term and stable extraction of blood, there should be a formation below.”
“Maybe it is not extracting blood, but extracting life nearby. The water flows slowly, for ten years to one hundred years. If you take your time, you can accumulate a lot of strength.”
"Then, go down and take a look?"
Lin Chuanli looked at Lucheng, with excitement in his eyes. How could a monk who wants to practice to a high level not have an unexpected opportunity?
Lin Chuanli is the most outstanding genius of this generation of the Lin family. Otherwise, if Lin Qingyue had too many nephews, she would not be familiar with them all. However, both parties have great prospects and can be in the future. Supporting each other is what makes true relatives and friends in a big family like the Lin family.
Because most of the men in the direct line of the Lin family practice the great method of seizing heaven and transforming spirits, their mana accumulation rate is much faster than that of monks from other sects. Therefore, they need more training, otherwise even if they have exquisite skills passed down from their families. , it is also difficult to achieve the realm of foundation building.
So, Lin Chuanli was eager to try it after learning about the formation in the cave.
"Forget it, the beast tide is already a rare opportunity. If you seize it, you can earn at least 20,000 spirit stones. Don't be greedy for more."
Lu Cheng and Lin Chuanli are talking here, Yuan Xiaodie is on the side He doesn't speak.
She has no interest in exploring the cave here. After experiencing the demon tiger, she just wants to return to a safe environment as soon as possible.
After this incident, she even understood why her father had to marry into the Lin family. After marrying into the Lin family, she would have a much more stable life than most monks, and she might even have a small chance of marrying into the Lin family. Under the protection of this family, a glimpse into the realm of foundation building.
For example, during this beast wave, the father and his daughter could probably earn more than 10,000 pieces of spiritual stones. If they had more connections and collected more spiritual stones, they might be able to buy ordinary casual cultivators for a lifetime. The invisible foundation building pill.
There are many helpless casual cultivators in the Tongxuan world who may not be able to accumulate ten thousand spiritual stones in their lifetime. The monks who have money to open sword halls in the Evernight City are all people with swordsmanship and capital.
Monsters are more sensitive to danger than human monks.
Even in such an environment where beasts are everywhere, not many demonic beasts approach this blood-devouring cave. The few groups that approach are all beaten by Lu Cheng, Lin Chuanli and Yuan Xiaodie. Take action and kill.
The next day.
After repeated investigations using detection spells such as Heaven's Vision, Earth's Hearing, and Spirit Crane, Lu Cheng, Lin Chuanli, and Yuan Xiaodie, with the support of Lin Qingyue from the Ten Thousand Beasts Cave Mansion, fought and escaped all the way. , and finally successfully returned to the underground cave of Wanshou Mountain.
"Xiaodie!"
"Dad!"
After experiencing life and death, the previous quarrels and bad feelings between the Yuan family father and daughter no longer exist.
In less than two days, Yuan Wuwang's hair has turned gray. At this moment, Yuan Xiaodie looked at her old father who was haggard for her, threw herself into his arms and burst into tears.
"Fortunately, the matter was finally resolved safely." Lin Qingyue came to Lu Cheng's side and sighed softly.
Then he turned his head, looked at the man in front of him and said softly:
"When did your swordsmanship become so powerful? The tiger monster in the early third level is no worse than the ordinary monster in the middle third level. Did you seriously hurt it with just one strike?" A soft and delicate hand gently slipped into the palm of his hand. The young Taoist turned his head and saw the beautiful and charming fairy lowering her head shyly, with red clouds soaking into her jade-like cheeks.
"You are not allowed to take such risks again, because I...I am really worried about you."
This scene was seen by Lin Chuanli who was standing aside. The young Taoist priest in black and red Taoist uniform rolled his eyes:
"Girls are outgoing, I have to watch my little aunt, lest she lose all her own dowry chasing men."
The Lin family is a high-ranking sect, although it is not a top sect like the Twelve True Sects of Yunei , but also ranked among the sixteen factions.
When Lin family monks travel around the world, they are mostly promoted by the second and third-rate small and medium-sized sects and sects in Taoism in the world. Lin Chuanli knows that many of his elders
often take advantage of their arrogance when they were young. Show off a person's achievements, which female fairy he had an old relationship with, and which pink lady he had an irreversible friendship with. Of course, if the daughter of the Lin family becomes someone's show off in the future, Lin Chuanli will never allow it.
Although Lin Lie is outstanding, he is just a casual cultivator after all, and his future path may not be as outstanding as that of his little aunt.
After experiencing the tiger demon, the six people became even more vigilant.
In the next three months, I will explore through the mirror array and then strike carefully. Every time, no matter whether I succeed or not, I will return with one strike.
This Ten Thousand Beasts Cave Mansion is hidden and protected by formations. It has indeed become a barrier fortress for the six people. Moreover, even if the monsters discover it, it doesn't matter. The worst is to abandon the mansion and run away.
Monster beasts will not occupy this cave that has no spiritual veins to practice and no source of food. They even have no idea of destroying this cave. The Lin family will just occupy it again in the future.
This cave is not even of use to monks. Except for its certain use during the beast tide, it is not a suitable monk's cave at other times.
Except for families like the Ranmushanlin family who have been cultivating immortals for thousands of years, what is the use of ordinary monks occupying this place? This is a cave that requires an upfront investment and then waiting for tens or hundreds of years to reap the benefits.
It’s just that the tide of beasts is raging, killing and fighting every day, even a monk will gradually accumulate anger in his heart.
After bringing Yuan Xiaodie back that day.
With the throbbing in his heart, the relationship between Lu Cheng and Lin Qingyue broke through the veil, and the two became closer.
Although Lin Qingyue's heart is set on the Dao, Lu Cheng will not destroy Lin Qingyue's foundation for his own momentary pleasure.
But the intimacy between men and women is not just a matter between women and men.
Clicking together, hugging each other, talking to each other, painting eyebrows, playing chess, playing the piano and practicing swordsmanship, these things can also greatly relieve the pressure in the heart and increase the relationship between the two parties.
"Lin Lie, it is said that in addition to the Dual Cultivation Palace in Tongxuan Realm, the female cultivators who belong to the Palace of Incarnation of All Beasts are the most dissolute and shameless. They practice the method of merging humans and animals. The higher their cultivation level, the more they feel in their hearts. There is no human sense of shame. It is often opened in the Western Regions. There is nothing to open. Uncovered Dharma Assembly... When you see the female cultivator from the Palace of Incarnation of All Beasts, you must stay away, otherwise I will ignore you."
Lin Qingyue was intimate in Lu Cheng's arms. During the conversation, the two of them talked about the major sects and cultivation forces in the world.
Lin Qingyue is an outstanding female cultivator of the younger generation of the Lin family in Burning Wood Mountain. She was originally in charge of the Lin family's business in the city that never sleeps, and had the style of a mature royal sister. However, during this period of time, she was entangled in love and became more and more... It is easy to have the coquettish attitude of a little daughter.
At this moment, her jade cheeks turned red. Seeing Lu Cheng laughing, she pinched and bit him with hatred, but she couldn't understand the shame and anger in her heart.
"I originally had no interest in the Palace of Incarnation of Beasts. After hearing what you said, Qingyue, I suddenly wanted to go to the Western Regions to see it. Hahahaha..."
"Ahhh , you are not allowed to go, you are not allowed to go, Lin Lie, you are bullying others! You are bullying others to like you."
Fighting and tangling.
The red quilt is tumbling, and the green gauze is shaking.
When the two people gasped gently and looked at each other, at this moment, in their hearts, they hoped that this would last a lifetime.
Boom.
The entire underground cave was shaking violently.
Lu Cheng and Lin Qingyue's eyes cleared. They both stood up quickly, packed their clothes, and then rushed out of Lin Qingyue's stone room.
In the underground cave, everyone quickly gathered towards the formation center stone room.
At this moment, Lin Qingxue and the Yuan family's father and daughter are guarding here. Of course, two young girls, Lin Qingxue and Yuan Xiaodie, can chat and play together, but no one dares to entrust their lives to these two. hands of a young girl.
So whenever it was their turn to take charge of the central stone room, Yuan Wuwu would always watch from the side, which made the two young girls very dissatisfied and felt that they were not trusted.
“What’s going on?”
“A pangolin in the Foundation Realm discovered us, and now it is attacking here, trying to dig us out.”
Ling Ring, ring, ring...
The thin copper bells in the central stone room kept ringing. After the tiger demon incident, everyone put up such copper bells in each stone room, so that if something happened in any stone room, others could quickly know and respond. .
“A group of pangolins?”
“One, there are no others seen in the mirror array so far.”
Yuan Wuwu continued to inject mana, casting khaki auras one after another. Entering the mirror array, scanning and observing in all directions, extremely detailed.
After hearing Yuan Wuwang's words and seeing the pangolin digging a hole in the outer wall of the jade wall, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hmph, this is really a spiritual stone that was brought to our door for nothing."
Lin Chuanli looked at the foundation-building pangolin in the jade mural and sneered. In this cave, they can advance, attack, retreat or defend. There is nothing to be afraid of.
The pangolin with red eyes has thick bone armor attached to its back, and a pair of extremely sharp claws extend from its claws. The earth-yellow spiritual light gathers on them, and it can break through the underground earth and rocks more easily than a fish. Open water flow is slightly difficult and limited.
It has smelled the scent of the human monks behind the stone layer. It has eaten these human monks. They are far more delicious than mortals. Eating their flesh and blood can even increase their demonic cultivation. Those children Eating their flesh and blood can enlighten wisdom.
Therefore, this third-level pangolin is not going to be let go. After he is full, he can take some back to the children in the cave.
From the perspective of most living monsters, humans and even human monks are weak, precious, and delicious.
"It will probably break through the wall from the southwest corner. Lin Qingxue, Yuan Xiaodie, you two are going to activate the fossils into a golden formation. Others come over and prepare a big gift for it."
"Master, I want to go too. I haven't fought against a third-level monster yet. What a rare opportunity!"
As soon as Lu Cheng finished speaking, Lin Qingxue objected.
No, how can you deal with level 3 demon beasts at the fifth level of Qi training?
Lu Cheng wanted to open his mouth and curse, but at this moment Lin Qingyue gave him a sideways glance, making him swallow his words abruptly.
"Brother Lin, let Qingxue join us. I can inspire this formation by myself." Yuan Xiaodie said.
"Then let's go together."
Lu Cheng has already taken the lead.
"Qingxue, stand next to me for a while and I will protect you." Lin Chuanli said.
"No need, Master is here." Lin Qingxue looked excited.
After a cup of tea.
Boom.
The third-order pangolin broke open the stone wall of the cave with one claw and penetrated in.
What greeted it was a Taoist young man who fired purple thunder with one hand and attacked with a sword with the other, followed by ice energy, fire, golden thorns, and multiple second-level spells to attack in succession.
"In the middle stage of foundation building, it is dead."
Lu Cheng already knew the outcome of this battle as soon as he saw the intensity of this monster's aura.
The third-order demon-breaking thunder of the first talisman dispersed the demonic aura of the pangolin, and the fiery golden light sword that followed immediately scratched the scales of the pangolin's forehead, but failed to break its head.
But it can't dodge the second-level spell that follows.
Lu Cheng, Lin Qingyue, Yuan Wuwu, and Lin Chuanli all have third-level talismans on their bodies. If everyone used them at this time, this third-level pangolin would be dead.
But in the face of this beast tide, although everyone is well prepared, there is a problem of upfront costs after all. Not everyone has nearly 100,000 spirit stones to spare like Lu Cheng.
No matter how well prepared he is, after purchasing magic weapons, elixirs, and renting vacant Cosmos Bags, there are not many third-level talismans that the monks can still buy.
So, you can’t use the most ruthless and neat attack method, but the most cost-effective and practical method for everyone present.
