Chapter 1188: The Plague of the Giant Python
Originally, this formation was like a thick fog in Xia Ruofei's eyes, and no matter how he analyzed it, he couldn't find a clue, but now it was completely different.
When he discovered the peculiarity of the pair of twin formations, it was as if he had suddenly found the thread in a mess, and many questions in the previous ten or twenty hours of analysis seemed to be clear at once.
"I see!"
"It's not complicated to figure it out!"
"These two basic formations can be used like this......
Xia Ruofei kept muttering to himself in amazement, and he became more and more aware of this formation that could form a tenacious enchantment.
Like a complex math problem, when you don't find the solution idea, you may not even understand the problem, and you don't know where to use the various known conditions given in the problem.
And when you find the right idea to solve the problem, you will find that the known conditions given in these problems are all useful, and it requires very clever skills to use.
Then, in the process of solving the problem, when you get closer to the correct answer, the sense of accomplishment is incomparable.
The current Xia Ruofei is in this state, he almost forgot the passage of time, and was completely immersed in this ingenious formation.
As the analysis deepened, the formation that was originally covered with a veil became clearer and clearer, and Xia Ruofei's eyes became brighter and brighter when the fog was removed.
In fact, Xia Ruofei was able to analyze the principle of this formation, in addition to a solid foundation in the theoretical foundation of the basic formation, there was also a lot of luck in it, the most important of which was that this formation did not know how long it had existed, and it was even slightly damaged because of time.
It was precisely because of this extremely small damage that Xia Ruofei's spiritual power could penetrate into the inside of the formation, otherwise no matter how solid his basic theory of the formation was, there would be no use at all.
Time passed silently, and more than two hours passed, Xia Ruofei finally let out a long breath and stood up from the ground.
After a day and a night of non-stop analysis, he finally completely understood the principle of this formation.
In this process, Xia Ruofei's formation level has also been greatly improved, because in this formation, there are many applications of basic formations, all of which Xia Ruofei has never heard of before, not only successfully combined with each other here, but also has ready-made combination effects to provide confirmation, it is like a treasure trove, Xia Ruofei felt that many parts that he knew and did not know why when preparing the spirit puppet parts, after this day and night, they were all suddenly penetrated.
This was a bonus.
Originally, he just wanted to try his best to crack this formation, but he didn't expect it to be so helpful to the level of the path, and when he went back and dealt with the materials for making spirit golems, he would definitely be more handy.
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but feel a little emotional, it seems that the cultivation of the formation path still has to be continuously improved in practice! Just like the sea of questions tactics before the college entrance examination, in fact, it is to get in touch with different question types as much as possible, learn different problem solving ideas, and finally have the effect of being able to understand everything.
However, now that the cultivation environment on the earth is harsh, cultivators don't know where to hide and cultivate, at least Xia Ruofei rarely encounters it, where can he find so many examples to learn? This is really a problem.
Xia Ruofei felt that he would have to go out for a walk more in the future, just like this time, if he could find the relics left by the senior cultivators, it would definitely be of great help to him.
Of course, these thoughts only flashed in Xia Ruofei's mind, and the most important thing now was to enter this formation and explore this mysterious waterhole.
After understanding the principle of the formation, this extremely tenacious formation enchantment was no longer an obstacle for Xia Ruofei.
He rested for a while, adjusted his state, and then confidently stepped forward to the transparent formation enchantment.
This formation is very exquisite, combining the functions of the trapped array, the phantom array, and the protective array, with the outermost protective barrier as the main one.
After he reached out and touched the formation enchantment, his spiritual power quickly reached in, skillfully looking for the junction of the formation.
Xia Ruofei's idea is also very clear, that is, to break the phantom array in the formation first - according to Puyol's description, there is a terrible python in this formation, under the cover of the phantom array, in fact, what the naked eye sees now is not necessarily the real situation in the formation, so without breaking the phantom array, Xia Ruofei will definitely not rashly enter the formation.
The existence of this protective enchantment is no longer an obstacle for Xia Ruofei, on the contrary, it is still a kind of protection, if Puyol is right, then the python should also be blocked inside the enchantment.
Xia Ruofei's spiritual power accurately found the node of the phantom array, and the true qi was transported into it closely, and the next moment, the fog shrouded in the range of the formation was suddenly revealed.
What I saw from the outside was a blue pool, and there was nothing on the edge of the pool.
But after the phantom array was broken, the true face of this waterhole was also revealed.
There was a faint white mist above the clear water, and there were pieces of broken ice on the water, and it was obvious that the temperature of this pool of water was very low.
A huge python was entrenched in the middle of the pool, this python was as thick as a bucket, because it was entrenched together, the length was not yet known, but it was definitely the largest snake Xia Ruofei had ever seen.
This python is obviously not affected by the phantom array, it spits out a scarlet snake luck, a pair of cold eyes are staring at Xia Ruofei, being stared at by such a giant python, although he knows the existence of the formation enchantment python can't get out, but Xia Ruofei still has a trace of coolness from the soles of his feet.
Especially thinking that in the past day and night, this python was close at hand, and it was very likely that he had been staring at him like this, Xia Ruofei was even more chilled.
He stabilized his mind and continued to observe the environment within the formation.
In addition to the python, there is also a small tree growing in the waterhole, the part that emerges from the water is about three meters high, but the canopy is very luxuriant, covering almost the entire range of the formation, like a large umbrella covering the waterhole.
Xia Ruofei had not yet entered the inside of the formation, and he could feel the unusualness of this tree, every leaf of it was full of vitality, especially when there were more than a dozen fruits hanging on the tree, each of which exuded a rich and attractive fragrance.
Xia Ruofei's eyes lit up suddenly, and he vaguely guessed that Pujol should be eating one of these fruits.
The reason for this is that the fruit hanging from the tree has two very different colors, one is dark red, the same shape and size as Pujol described, and the other is deep purple, and the two fruits are almost identical except for the color.
There are about seven or eight pieces of fruit of each color.
Xia Ruofei swept through it with his spiritual power, and he could sense the rich energy contained in the fruit, and he was very sure that the fruits of these two colors were ripe, not the two states of the same fruit when it was ripe and unripe.
It is indeed a miracle that two fruits of very different colors grow on the same tree, and that each fruit is so full of such an alluring scent.
Modern people can make a pot of flowers bloom in a variety of colors through grafting or genetic technology, but this tree is clearly naturally formed.
Xia Ruofei guessed that maybe the part of the formation that was missing happened to have branches growing horizontally, and there was also a crimson fruit hanging on it, and Puyol stepped into it and reached out to pick it.
I have to say that Puyol's luck is really against the sky.
Xia Ruofei looked at the fruits on the tree with some greed, and quickly shifted his attention to the python.
With the protection of this python, these fruits can't be seen and touched at all, just like a mirror.
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but have a big head.
This python exuded a dangerous aura, which made Xia Ruofei feel a great threat.
He was sure that not only was Puyol powerless in front of this python, but he was probably not the opponent of this python.
The difficulties were a little bigger than he had imagined.
Before Xia Ruofei came, he had always had a trace of illusion, after all, Puyol was just an ordinary person with good skills at that time, and the python that was so powerful in Puyol's eyes that it was impossible to defeat might not be so difficult to deal with in the eyes of a cultivator.
Now that illusion is shattered.
It was difficult for him to bargain for this python.
But he finally analyzed the formation thoroughly, there were more than a dozen tempting spirit fruits in the waterhole, and more importantly, the boundary stones that he and the white beaver both urgently needed, it was very likely that in this waterhole, Xia Ruofei would never allow him to return in vain.
How to deal with this python? Xia Ruofei also fell into deep thought.
Before you know it, the moon in the sky is gradually coming overhead.
At this time, the python that had been staring at Xia Ruofei coldly moved.
Xia Ruofei was startled, subconsciously took a step back, and made a defensive posture.
However, the python only glanced at Xia Ruofei, adjusted its position on its own, and then raised its head.
Xia Ruofei even read a trace of banter and disdain in the python's eyes.
was actually despised by a snake...... Xia Ruofei was speechless for a while.
He was quickly attracted by the situation in the formation - he saw that the python opened its mouth to the moon in the sky, and then a bright light fell from the sky and entered the mouth of the python accurately, and the python seemed to enjoy it very much, its tail happily slapped the water, and at the same time its mouth let out an impassioned moan!
"It's absorbing the moonlight!" Xia Ruofei said to himself in amazement.
Apparently, Puyol said that on the days when the moon is at its fullest every month, a terrible cry can be heard from the mountains and forests, and it is this python that has sent it.
As for the snake being able to make a sound, Xia Ruofei didn't feel too strange, after all, this was a python that could absorb the moonlight.
Monsters can even change into human form! What's so strange about a snake being able to make a sound?
The python obviously didn't take Xia Ruofei in his eyes, because in its eyes, this human being was too small, and it had the protection of the formation enchantment, so it didn't need to worry about it at all, and this human wouldn't be able to get in.
So even if Xia Ruofei was outside the formation, this python was still absorbing the moon as if no one was around.
Xia Ruofei's heart shook suddenly, maybe this is an opportunity!
This python was concentrating on absorbing Yuehua, and if he quickly entered the formation, he might be able to give it a surprise blow!
Although he could feel the horror of this python's breath, if he didn't try it himself, Xia Ruofei would definitely not be reconciled.
No matter how bad it is, there is also this protective enchantment, once his life is in danger, Xia Ruofei still has a chance to escape outside the enchantment.
The most important thing is that if it is usual, Xia Ruofei may not have a chance at all, and the python has only absorbed Yuehua for a few days, if this opportunity is not grasped, it may have to wait for a month.
Xia Ruofei obviously couldn't wait that long.
Thinking of this, Xia Ruofei quickly made up his mind, a look of determination appeared in his eyes, and he turned his hand and took out the sharp army dagger that had accompanied him for many years from the space, and the true qi of his whole body was circulating, and the dagger was also infused with true qi.
After adjusting his state to the best, Xia Ruofei began to carefully use his spiritual power to guide his true qi to open the nodes of the protective formation.
For this formation, Xia Ruofei was already familiar with it, and he found the core node of the protective formation very easily, as long as the true qi was infused into it, the protective enchantment would be opened.
Xia Ruofei glanced at the giant python again, gritted his teeth secretly, and channeled his true qi to the formation node.
The giant python was concentrating on absorbing the moonlight, and did not pay attention to the small human next to it.
Xia Ruofei felt that the protective enchantment was rapidly dissolving.
Now is the time!
He knew that that wisp of True Qi would last for a second or two at most, and then it would be depleted and the protective barrier would form again.
Xia Ruofei didn't hesitate at all, his right foot kicked the ground violently, and his body shot into the range of the formation like lightning, and swooped straight at the giant python.
The dagger in his hand that flashed with cold light was also raised, and it stabbed fiercely at the seven-inch position of the giant python.
Hitting a snake and hitting seven inches, Xia Ruofei didn't know if this rule was still applicable to such an obviously highly cultivated python, in this case, he could only give it a try.
It wasn't until Xia Ruofei came to the python that the python reacted.
He couldn't help but be a little stunned when he found that this ant-like human had actually broken into the range of the formation.
At this moment of stunnedness, Xia Ruofei's military dagger had already stabbed at its seven-inch position.
A dinging sound sounded, and Xia Ruofei suddenly chuckled in his heart.
The scale armor of this python is very hard, and the military dagger infused with true qi has only left a small white mark on it, and it can't even break its physical protection.
Xia Ruofei's reaction was also very fast, and if he couldn't hit it, he immediately borrowed a somersault and rushed directly towards the outside of the formation - at this time, the formation enchantment had not yet been re-formed, and he still had time to escape.
Xia Ruofei didn't even forget to use his spiritual power to roll up the crimson fruit closest to him, and while fleeing towards the outside of the formation, he quickly collected this fruit into the space.
However, by this time the python had already reacted.
The furious giant python let out a long groan, the snake's head suddenly stood upright, and the snake's tail, which was originally entrenched, stretched out all of a sudden, and threw it towards Xia Ruofei with a sound of breaking the sky.
The speed of this python also exceeded Xia Ruofei's expectations.
Coupled with the fact that he was just using his strength to flip out, the speed was definitely not as fast as his full sprint.
The python's thick snake tail came first and hit Xia Ruofei's body hard.
Xia Ruofei felt as if he had been hit head-on by a train, a sweet mouthful of blood spurted out of his throat, and he almost fell unconscious directly in front of his eyes.
However, being pumped by the snake's tail like this, Xia Ruofei's speed suddenly increased by a few points, and he was directly thrown outside the formation range.
He fell to the ground hard, feeling like his ribs might have broken and his internal organs looked like they were out of place.
Before Xia Ruofei could congratulate himself on his escape, he was horrified to see that the python actually flew out at an extremely fast speed, before the formation enchantment was fully formed, and chased after him violently.
The whole process only took two or three seconds, and the python's reaction speed and movement speed were far beyond Xia Ruofei's expectations, and he couldn't even use the formation enchantment to protect himself.
Now it's dangerous!
Xia Ruofei felt the hairs on his body stand up, and without hesitation, he directly took out the crimson fruit he had just picked from the space, and stuffed it into his mouth without thinking about it - Puyol said that this crimson fruit can not only strengthen the body, but also greatly promote the recovery of injuries.
Xia Ruofei was originally a cultivator, and his body was stronger than Pujol I don't know how many times, although the blow of the giant python just now injured him, but he would not lose his ability to move.
In this extremely dangerous situation, Xia Ruofei also knew that if his strength could increase a little, and if he could recover from his injuries a little faster, it might play a vital role in saving his life.
Of course, he didn't have time to hesitate, after stuffing the crimson fruit into his mouth, Xia Ruofei turned around and fled towards the mountains and forests without hesitation.
The giant python was originally furious, and subconsciously chased it out, but it didn't expect to really leave the range of the formation, and it couldn't help but be a little surprised - it had been trapped in this formation for I don't know how many years, and it rushed out all of a sudden, and it was really a little stunned for a while.
However, after Xia Ruofei took out the fruit and swallowed it, the giant python's anger was suddenly stimulated again.
This is the spirit fruit it has guarded for countless years, and it was actually stolen and eaten by this hateful ant, is it unbearable?
A few years ago, there was an ant who also took shit luck and got a spirit fruit from the edge of the formation, but in comparison, today's ant is even more hateful, and it actually broke into the formation and stole it directly, how could this giant python allow Xia Ruofei to leave calmly?
It immediately twisted its long body and pursued towards Xia Ruofei.
Although this python walked on its abdomen, its speed was not slow at all, even a little faster than Xia Ruofei.
Because Xia Ruofei also needed to dodge obstacles such as trees, but this giant python directly crushed it like a heavy tank, and was invincible no matter what it encountered along the way, jumping out of a straight line alive.
In the dark, Xia Ruofei had no way to judge the direction, but subconsciously followed the route that was easiest to escape.
Of course, he will also suddenly change direction from time to time, after all, the giant python has a huge body, and it is a snake moving forward, so it will be relatively sluggish.
But despite this, the giant python still chased closer and closer, and after a while, Xia Ruofei could even hear the hissing sound made by the giant python Sachiko, as well as this fishy smell that made his mind a little dizzy......
