Chapter 215: Mist Array 1
Chapter 215: Mist Array 1
Duanmu Lan insisted on coming along on this trip to the enchanting land, for one reason only: when she heard that a fourth-level lantern grass was about to mature, she said that she just happened to be in need of this medicine, so she came along.
Wang Qiye and his companions heard about this herb from another group of Taoist friends they met by chance at a rest camp. When the other Taoist friends saw such a large group of beautiful girls, even though Wang Qiye had a look on his face saying "keep away from strangers", they were still harassed by them. In the end, they even helped to light the fire and cook, and they wished they could see them off all the way.
Lei Siyu and Hu Mingyue, two first-class beauties, are out of reach, but the four maids with good looks and good figures seem easy to get along with.
Having seen it so many times, Wang Qiye could only sigh and say that beautiful women are the root of all trouble.
Wang Qiye and his party came out this time just for that herb. It was discovered by chance when a fellow Taoist accidentally broke in while escaping. At first, Wang Qiye thought he was bragging, thinking that he couldn't walk after seeing the beauty. After saying goodbye to the group of people, Wang Qiye and his party searched in the demon land for 10 days before finally finding the place where the fellow Taoist boasted. There was indeed a fourth-level lantern grass there, but it was not mature yet. Of course, there was a powerful guardian beast guarding it.
The hinterland of the demonic land is still very dangerous and one cannot stay there for long. After all, those third-level demon beasts are not vegetarians. A fourth-level herb is only worth about 1000 spirit stones, which is not worth it for him to invite a third-level cultivator because it is useless to invite one. If he invites too many, the herbs sold would not be enough to pay the wages of those third-level cultivators. Therefore, the Taoist friend gave up the idea of coming again and just used it as a topic of bragging.
Now, after a year, it is finally time to harvest it.
With a fine horse leading the way and beautiful women following behind him, Wang Qiye was in high spirits.
Looking back at the three third-level cultivators, Wang Qiye felt that this trip was safe.
Since they had been there before, everyone was familiar with the route this time. After walking for two days, they finally arrived at their destination.
"How about it?"
When Wang Qiye saw Duanmu Lan coming back, he hurried forward to ask.
"Well, it's ripe. It will be tomorrow at noon. Eat early tonight and rest early so that you can have a big fight tomorrow."
Duanmu Lan's eyes were bright.
"That's great, come sit down, dinner will be ready soon."
Wang Qiye was also extremely excited.
"Did you see anyone else?"
Hu Mingyue asked.
“I haven’t seen it yet.”
Duanmu Lan shook his head.
"Even if there is, so what? When the formation is activated tomorrow, no matter who is watching from outside, they can only stare at it. In order to deal with those nine third-level fierce tigers, I have been busy for a year, modifying this formation again and again, and it finally comes in handy."
Lei Siyu said confidently.
"Then I'll see your performance tomorrow."
Wang Qiye smiled sweetly. The formation master who was supported with 1500-2000 spirit stones every month was finally of some use.
"Just wait and see. This is the first time for the three of you to work together. Can you do it? Or why don't you split into two groups?"
Lei Siyu said somewhat uncertainly.
"It's not a big problem. Chun Tao and Wang Qiye are just assisting. Although your Wu Li formation is magical, the more groups you divide it into, the greater your chances will be. Divide it into three groups and fight quickly to deal with those lone fierce tigers. That's enough."
Duanmu Lan nodded confidently.
"dinner time."
Shuanghua called out and brought the stew over.
"Well, Shuanghua's cooking skills are getting better and better."
Duanmu Lan praised it.
"That's because today's monster meat is fresh. How can the frozen one compare to this?"
Wang Qiye blew on it and stuffed it into his mouth, his mouth full of oil.
The night passed peacefully, and Wang Qiye and his companions hid the horses here and moved forward slowly.
This is an empty valley, surrounded by mountains on three sides, with only one exit. The nine fierce tigers were sleeping in the woods in the distance. This was their lair. In the demon land, no blind monster dared to venture into this dangerous place, so these third-level fierce tigers slept quite comfortably.
Looking at the nine-headed ferocious tiger lying and sleeping in the distance, the powerful pressure made Wang Qiye breathless.
"let's start."
Wang Qiye was extremely excited and said something to the person next to him.
Duanmu Lan nodded, holding a formation box in his hand, and quietly moved over. After a while, he came back.
Smelling the fragrance of the plants that had just returned to his side, Wang Qiye was amazed. In this forest, Duanmu Lan was just a walking tree in the eyes of other monsters. Last time, Duanmu Lan rewarded him. The two kissed for a long time, and after their saliva intertwined, his physical strength was raised. Every time he saw her, he couldn't help but feel jealous.
I don't know when, but fog started to rise in the valley. In this airtight valley, it couldn't be easily dissipated.
Gradually, the fog began to grow thicker. When it had covered the ground in a thick layer, the ferocious beasts finally discovered something was wrong. They stood up alertly, staring with their ferocious eyes and looking around anxiously.
"Roar."
A ferocious tiger roared irritably, trying to disperse the thick fog that was approaching it. However, not long after, the thick fog approached its body again and submerged it.
When thick fog covered the valley and visibility became lower and lower, the formation was fully deployed, and even the tiger's roar that was heard from time to time was blocked by the formation.
"Don't get lost."
Lei Siyu chuckled, then took Ruyi and Shihua into the fog. As soon as the three of them entered, the fog quickly blocked the gap like a stream of water. Even with their spiritual senses, they could no longer sense the three figures.
"Then we'll go in too."
Hu Mingyue waved to Wang Qiye, took out a flying rope, and walked in with Shuanghua and Ziyan.
"Let's go too."
Duanmu Lan raised the crystal ball in his hand. Only three spots of light were lit up in the crystal ball. Each spot of light represented a team of people.
"Well, let's go."
Wang Qiye pulled the thin rope around his waist, untied Qingcang from his back, and held it in his hand. A defensive magic weapon, a glass ball, floated beside him. He had already had many experiences in hunting third-level monsters, and he was looking forward to the upcoming battle. "That's a nine-headed third-level monster!"
Duanmu Lan also took out his third-level flying sword, and a green jade bracelet, a third-level defensive magic weapon, flew in front of him, and walked into the fog. Wang Qiye and Chuntao hurriedly followed.
The fog in front of him was so thick that Duanmu Lan, who was right in front of him, could only see a blurry figure. If he was three steps away, he would probably have lost him.
At the moment, Duanmu Lan led Wang Qiye and Chuntao, blindly running around in the entire formation. The entire formation was divided into nine regular areas, isolating the spiritual vision, smell and sound. Even the sounds in the formation were disordered. Sometimes the sound was clearly coming from the adjacent area, but it was far away in the sky. The only way to contact each other was the crystal ball in their hands, which was flashing with light spots. So now, not to mention that Wang Qiye and the others could not find the ferocious beast, even the ferocious beast could not find Wang Qiye and his group.
In the Mist Separation Formation, when there is only one monster in an area, the fog in this area will be cleared away, revealing its original appearance. If this area is covered by thick fog, it means that there are two or more monsters in this area.
If there hadn't been this Wuli formation, Wang Qiye and his companions would never have dared to challenge this group of monsters. But if there was only one monster, any team of them would dare to step forward and challenge it. Since they were not sure which area had a lone monster, they simply divided themselves into three teams. If a team stayed in the same place for a long time, it meant that there was a lone monster in the area. If they were always moving, it meant that no monster had been found.
"Roar--"
A deafening tiger roar sounded around, and the sound was as if it was right next to his ears, shaking Wang Qiye's head. At this moment, Wang Qiye clearly realized that there were several fierce tigers staying next to him, and goose bumps all over his body instantly appeared. However, the tension and excitement of being three steps apart, but no one could see each other, filled his whole body, making Wang Qiye's scalp numb.
"This is really too exciting." Wang Qiye's heart trembled, and his blood rushed up. It was as if there was a knife on his neck. Maybe the next step would be to run into the arms of a ferocious tiger.
The feeling of brushing shoulders with death is like an electric current that whips you from time to time. This time is different from the past. It is more tense and exciting than ever before.
Even Duanmu Lan walked very carefully, and Chuntao beside her was trembling. No one knew what force was supporting this little girl to move forward.
The three of them walked carefully to the next area. Although this area was still covered with thick fog, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Wang Qiye then realized that even in these short two miles, his back was wet with cold sweat.
"Lei Siyu and the others have already engaged a demon beast."
Duanmu looked at the light spot that had not moved for a long time and said what happened next.
Wang Qiye's heart tightened, and he looked at the crystal ball. It was too far away, but when he saw the direction Hu Mingyue and the others were heading, it was exactly that area, and he felt relieved. There were two third-level cultivators fighting against a fierce tiger, so it shouldn't be a big problem. It seemed that his team didn't need to go over to support.
"Let's keep going forward, cross this area from the middle, and go to the next area to have a look."
Duanmu Lan put away the crystal ball and turned to speak to Wang Qiye and Chuntao.
"Well, after they kill a monster, the rest of the hunt will be much easier. The difficulty lies in the beginning. Let's quickly find a lone one and cling to it to share the pressure with them."
Seeing that others had achieved victory, Wang Qiye was so excited that he also wanted to fight with a monster.
