Chapter Thirty-Five: Plans Shattered
Yan Siguang was inexplicable this way.
Several people followed him, turning left and right for a while, going straight for less than a few hundred meters and then turning around and walking again, after more than half an hour of continuous rotation in the dark, the highlight mode of Yingxingtian goggles finally flashed and quietly extinguished.
Ji Yiming took off his goggles and handed them over, and he couldn't help but start to feel a little anxious in his heart.
It has been two or three hours since I entered the ancient kiln city, and the time on my mobile phone has come to one o'clock at midnight. But from beginning to end, he only found the three ancient kilns corresponding to the two strings of numbers left by Jiang Zhiyou, not only did the fourth one have no shadow so far, but he also did not find any evidence to prove that she was still alive.
(I only hope to find the Great Unification Array as soon as possible and resume the suppression of these porcelain corpses in the Ancient Kiln City.) )
(In that case, if Jiang Zhiyou had stayed somewhere in the Kiln City, it would have been at least much safer.) )
While he was secretly thinking about it, Yan Siguang at the front suddenly shrank back silently.
Ying Xingtian, Gu Snake, and Ou Haichao, whose face was getting more and more ugly, were accustomed to naturally moving forward—twelve unharmed porcelain corpses slowly walked towards them in the darkness again.
"Damn, it's the third time. While crushing the turquoise, he took a few steps forward towards Ou Haichao, who was marked with "crape myrtle" around him, and suddenly couldn't help but turn his head and scolded angrily: "How did you lead the way, why are they found every ten minutes?
Yan Siguang shrank behind Ji Yiming, teased his hair that hadn't been washed for a long time and looked like a bird's nest and chuckled: "I can't blame me, maybe it's the porcelain corpses who hold grudges." If it's broken once, you'll chase after us, so you'd better be careful not to be careless about being porcelainized. Now there are no Grandmaster Realm masters in the porcelain corpse, if there is one more Dao Sect Grandmaster, God knows if it will be more powerful than the original. ”
Ou Haichao snorted coldly when he heard this, turned his head and ignored him, but his heart began to drum slightly.
The porcelain corpses turned by the twelve martial artists, wizards, and Taoist priests are already so difficult, and if one or two of the three people who are left alone Qingqiu or Worm Dao are also porcelainized...... Could it be that there is a strange power that is even more terrifying than it is now?
Ying Xingtian's expression moved slightly, and he seemed to have thought of this possibility.
In fact, after three or four consecutive resurrections, these porcelain corpses have gradually regained their previous speed and strength, coupled with the power of porcelain that cannot be touched, even if the two people, one snake and three grandmasters work together, they have become a little difficult to deal with.
He and Gu Snake are okay, Ou Haichao, who is good at Dao Law and ordinary in the martial arts realm, has indeed almost been touched by the porcelain corpse carelessly several times...... Maybe the next time they come back from the dead, this one will be the one who is unlucky.
Thinking of this, he began to try to get his combat position closer to the latter, and from time to time he divided a few fists to repel the porcelain corpse beside Lying Silkworm Mei, so that this guy who was always complaining would not be so overstretched.
Only this little favor has made Ou Haichao grateful.
In an instant, he pinched the sword trick and shot out six qi magic swords in a row, and after smashing the last porcelain corpse in front of him, he turned his head and helped Win Xingtian against the enemy for the first time: "It's still interesting to win the boss, knowing that the strength of the old way is not good, and he was born poor, so he finally climbed to his current position, and he was reluctant to let me die!"
The latter glanced at him lightly, and casually smashed the last porcelain corpse: "I just don't want to have another Grandmaster's realm porcelain corpse here, it's more difficult to deal with." ”
After the battle, all three of them and one snake looked a little tired. Ou Haichao bracked his body to search for the gems on the ancient kiln formation again, and picked out the smallest green pine and embedded it in the miniature array to restore his internal breath, and he didn't even bother to reply.
Ying Xingtian was slightly stronger than him, but he always held the array plate and never left his hand, and looked at Yan Siguang with a slight frown: "With the current battle strength and porcelain corpse improvement speed, we can only hold on to two more rounds of attacks at most." If you don't find a way to recover the formation after two rounds, you will probably have casualties. ”
The fat black man didn't have much worry on his face, and only looked thoughtfully at Ou Haichao's trouser pockets—which were bulging with various gems from more than a thousand years ago. The latter noticed his gaze, and subconsciously covered his pockets with a vigilant face: "What are you doing?"
"One thing comes to mind. Yan Siguang covered his mouth and suddenly laughed: "These gems are the energy that maintains the operation of each small formation, and each small formation is a part of the 'Great Unification Array' in the Kiln City. ”
"Even if I find the two destroyed ancient kilns later, I will be able to restore the damaged formation underneath them smoothly. Then how do these small formations that you have deducted gems from?"
The remaining three stopped their movements at the same time, and their faces were all ugly.
It's not a matter of taking out the gems when you get them. Instead, a few people traveled all the way, and from the beginning of entering the ancient kiln, they continued to destroy the formation patterns and deduct the ancient gems in the center, and the total number of them probably added up to no less than hundred!
And it is simply impossible to embed hundreds of gems back into the formation as they are.
It's over......
Ou Haichao's whole heart was cold, holding a trouser pocket gem full of bitterness: "So, is there no way?"
Ji Yiming and Ying Xingtian looked at Yan Siguang together.
- Since he can still laugh at such a time, he must have a solution to the matter.
The black fat man hung in suspense for a long time, and finally opened his mouth to give the answer: "Although there is no way to restore the entire large array for the time being, after data collection and research along the way, I have a way to temporarily suppress the frequency of the resurrection of these porcelain corpses." ”
Although the entire ancient kiln city is full of weirdness, there are many mysteries hidden in it. But at least for now, it's a threat to the foursome, one-snake combo...... There are only porcelain corpses that keep coming back from the dead and gradually getting stronger.
As long as you can reduce the frequency of their resurrection, even for the time being, you can buy everyone enough time. Whether it is looking for the exit of the underwater tunnel to leave the ancient kiln city, or taking this opportunity to unravel the fog, it is all under your control.
In anticipation of the three of them, Yan Siguang took out a silver array disk and pointed at the miniature "Pseudo-Great Unification Array" on it and said, "Although this semi-finished product researched before can only be used to restore internal breath, in fact, its entire array base and vein are based on the foundation of the 'Great Unification Array'. I've been doing supplementary research since I arrived in this ancient kiln city, and although I can't restore the real original formation with this, it's still not a problem to rearrange a simplified version of the size of an ordinary ancient kiln. ”
"And the only effect of the abbreviated version of the 'Great Unification Array' is to suppress - suppress the resurrection speed of those porcelain corpses. Yan Siguang finished speaking in one breath, his fat face was shining, and his eyes were also shining with wisdom: "The best ideal result is to reduce the frequency of the resurrection of porcelain corpses to once every three to six hours. As for completely suppressing or exterminating, it should be difficult to do, otherwise they will not be suppressed by the entire ancient kiln town for thousands of years, and they can still be resurrected. ”
"Of course, the premise of the suppression is that I will first arrange the formation here with the help of the ancient kiln, and then introduce all of them into the formation and smash them after the porcelain corpses appear. Judging from the last battle, it shouldn't be too difficult, right?"
Ying Xingtian nodded slightly, and the suspicion about Yan Siguang in his heart was finally washed away.
These scientists have all sorts of messy quirks, but perhaps the price of humanity's best intelligence. Yan Siguang, who has been in a state of mind since the beginning of the year, and his expression and movements are strange, are just studying the formation.
"Even if it's only three hours, it's been almost three hours since we came in" He quickly made a decision, signaling Yan Siguang to immediately start arranging the formation in place: "Solve the problem of porcelain corpses first, and then quickly check the entire kiln city from beginning to end, and then quickly go out and gather people to come back and restore the formation." ”
If the porcelain corpses can only exist in the underground ancient kiln city, it is okay, and the entrance will be closed after the Great Unification Array is drawn. But if they escape to the outside world...... At this rate of contagion and resurrection, it will definitely turn into a terrible catastrophe!
Ji Yiming couldn't help but shudder when he thought of the scene of these things wandering around in human society.
With Ying Xingtian's order, several people began to dismantle the surrounding ancient kilns with different shapes under the command of Yan Siguang, separated the bricks and stones with formation patterns among them, and handed them over to him to modify or arrange and combine, and arrange them piece by piece on a vacant land about twenty meters square.
For a time, the area was shattered and dusty, like a construction site with more ruins than it had been more than a thousand years ago.
The various gems collected in Ji Yiming and Ou Haichao's pockets were also all taken away by Yan Siguang, and they were inlaid in every part of the formation according to the pattern of the treasure petals.
The former didn't care about these things outside his body, and at this moment, his mind was still immersed in the inner breath of the "Taiyi Immortal Formula" whose meridians were becoming more and more powerful, constantly controlling the flow of various routes, and experiencing the power that truly belonged to the martial artist.
But Ying Xingtian still deliberately walked over and said: "These gems have actually been triggered for more than a thousand years, and the energy contained in them is not too strong. Wait for this matter, and I'll give you a better batch after you get the Great Unification Array. ”
"At that time, I will also be able to use the Great Unification Array to carry forward the ancient inheritance of the Ji family again. He patted the former on the shoulder and sighed: "After the supporting formation was lost, your Ji family has not had a cultivator for many generations. ”
As for Ou Haichao, who was in pain next to him and looked at him with his eyes......
was also patted on the shoulder, and a promise of "after I go out, I will not deliberately find trouble with 'Yandao'".
……
……
In the thick darkness.
The four ancient kilns numbered "314", "277", "211" and "458" are surrounded by silence.
And just before that on the battlefield.
As the fragments of porcelain corpses all over the ground slowly turned into fine powder-like particles, and quietly "melted" in the air, an intact porcelain corpse appeared out of thin air in each ancient kiln.
The resurrected porcelain corpses emerged from the cave with expressionless faces and stood silently at the door.
Six seconds later, the second batch of four porcelain corpses also quietly appeared, and they also came out to stand beside the former.
The third batch ......
Fourth Batch ......
In less than half a minute, there were already four stiff and smooth porcelain corpses standing next to each numbered ancient kiln.
All the porcelain corpses suddenly tilted their heads slightly in a direction in the darkness, as if receiving some command.
Then, the twelve porcelain corpses pressed the pagoda-shaped kiln body with one hand, paused for six seconds...... Disappear in unison.
At the same time.
The three grandmasters of Qingqiu and the "Worm Pig Dao" followed the essence blood ball in mid-air, and went around and around for I don't know how long they walked in the dark, turning back and forth seven or eight times after more than a dozen turns, but they still didn't find the location of the "Yin and Yang Snake".
The three Gu Dao Masters had been chanting the complex Miao language in their mouths, and from time to time they would stop and take a turn around a certain ancient kiln, and they didn't see much eagerness in their expressions, but from time to time some surprised expressions were revealed.
As for Qingqiu, who was mentally exhausted to the limit and felt that he might collapse physically if he performed the "Twelve Witch Heavenly Techniques" again, he had to try his best to hide his predicament in front of the three of them, and on the other hand, he also lost more and more confidence.
In his senses, the three of them no longer seem to have put the search for the "Yin Evil Anode Snake" in the first place, but have made some new discoveries that they are unwilling to resort to. In this case, if you show a little weakness...... Qingqiu had no intention of putting his own life above the ethics of the three Miao Jiang Gu Dao Grandmasters.
"Any clues?"
I don't remember the first time they asked, but the three of them shook their heads silently, and went into an ancient kiln again, not knowing what they were checking. Qingqiu was angry in his heart, but the situation was stronger than others, so he could only grit his teeth and endure it.
Then, his heart sank slightly.
In the darkness, more than a dozen crisp, rhythmic footsteps sounded out of thin air, walking towards the ancient kiln where they were.
The dim light of the mobile phone screen, which was already running low, illuminated twelve stiff figures.
Porcelain corpse.
