Chapter 816: An attempt to break the formation
I caught a bird in the middle of the forest......"
Dong Xun immediately realized and said, "Fell?"
"Hmm!" Zi Yu said: "The bird just entered the range of the suspension bridge, and fell directly, and it couldn't even glide forward a distance according to the momentum of the forward rush." ”
Jiang Ning said: "It seems that the person who arranged this underground palace had already thought of all kinds of opportunistic possibilities, so at the beginning of the construction of the palace, he had already snuffed out these possibilities." ”
Dong Xun frowned and said: "Even in the Star Realm, if he can't fly, with the body of that Li Shan we have seen, he may not be able to pass the suspension bridge safely and securely every time, so ......"
Ziyu continued: "Then, there must be something on him that can counteract the change in gravity of the suspension bridge, or maybe he has mastered some kind of way to pass through the suspension bridge, for example, a very powerful body technique." ”
"With the current conditions of the Lishan tribe, it is unlikely that Lishan can master that level of body technique, so there must be something on him that can ensure that every time he enters the underground palace, he can pass through the suspension bridge safely, or in the corridor leading to the underground palace, there is a switch that controls the change of gravity hidden, but when you enter there now, you can't find it. ”
Jiang Ning thought for a while, and then said: "However, given your ability characteristics, the possibility of this situation is relatively low, so the biggest possibility is that Li Shan is carrying some kind of object, and this thing is equivalent to a pass to and from the underground palace, which was deliberately left by the person who built this palace for the destined people." ”
Dong Xun said: "Since the White Stone Palace was built by Li Shan himself, then why can't the underground palace be built by himself?"
Ziyu looked at Jiang Ning, and only felt that it was really not easy for him to take such a simple girl with him every day.
However, because the relationship between him and the two of them is not very close, but Jiang Ning and Dong Xun have been together since the beginning, so he still couldn't help but say nothing, just thinking that he didn't know.
Jiang Ning explained patiently: "If the underground palace is also built by Lishan, it means that his current strength is enough to control the change of gravity, and use this ability in construction, if he really has such ability, then, the Chiyuan tribe has been wiped out by the Lishan tribe ten years ago, and it is impossible for us to run away when we were besieged and killed on the mountain a few days ago, isn't it?"
After listening to Jiang Ning, Dong Xun also stuck out his little tongue in embarrassment, thinking about it, such a stupid question, I don't know how he blurted out to ask it at that time.
In fact, Dong Xun is not a stupid person, it's just that Jiang Ning is too smart, and following him, there are very few things that need to be thought about carefully along the way, so that many things, when problems arise, are habitually asked, instead of using their own brains to think about it first.
This is obviously already a kind of spiritual dependence.
Thinking of this, Dong Xun shook his head, feeling that this was not a good phenomenon for himself, and secretly told himself in his heart that he must avoid it in the future.
"Jiang Ning is right, after the attempt on the suspension bridge failed, my first thought was that in the corridor leading to the suspension bridge at the bottom of the passage, there must be some mechanism that can control the internal gravity change, but I searched there more than ten times, until it was almost dawn before leaving, in this whole process, I used all the methods I mastered, but I was unable to find any mechanism that could be operated in the passage. ”
On the other side, Zi Yu already smiled and said, "So, for us, finding a way to arrest him on his way to the White Stone Depression, or steal the thing on his body, is the key to our final access to the underground palace of the White Stone Castle." ”
"So," Dong Xun laughed, "you thought of asking us for help?"
Ziyu said very calmly: "If the hidden treasure there can be swallowed alone, I will naturally not come to you, but since I can't, then, providing this information to you, firstly, it can be regarded as repaying your kindness to me with virtue to repay your grievances, and secondly, you can also follow a piece of the pie, why not?"
Jiang Ning turned around suddenly, his gaze fell on Ziyu's body with some coldness, his thin lips hooked a cold arc, and chuckled: "What if, I don't divide?"
Dong Xun was also stunned for a moment, Jiang Ning on weekdays would not say such things.
Compared to Dong Xun's surprised reaction, Ziyu seemed very calm, he just smiled lightly: "Whatever you want, life-saving grace, change the intelligence of a treasure, I think it's worth it, but, are you that kind of person?"
Jiang Ning didn't speak, just looked at Ziyu's eyes fixedly, and the atmosphere between the three of them seemed to freeze all of a sudden.
The abrupt change in the atmosphere made Dong Xun feel a little at a loss.
On the contrary, it was Jiang Ning and Ziyu, and after looking at each other for a while without giving in, they suddenly burst out laughing.
Seeing this, Dong Xun breathed a sigh of relief, patted his small chest, and said to himself angrily: "Man, what a strange creature. ”
In this way, the three of them guarded the only way for the Lishan tribe to go south, and one guard was four days.
For people who have goals in mind, the days of idleness always seem very long.
So much so that Dong Xun and Ziyu, who were extremely bored, hid behind a big stone and began to play a game of beast chess with stones.
This kind of game from the original world Yang Realm was undoubtedly handed over to them by Jiang Ning.
As for Jiang Ning himself, the reason why he didn't get involved was because there was still a person who needed to be guarded here to prevent him from being discovered by someone who happened to pass by, and secondly, because Jiang Ning felt that if he was involved, with his level, those two people would have no chance of winning at all, and if they were deliberately allowed to win, it would not be interesting to play by themselves, so it was better to sit there quietly and practice star power for a while, and by the way, part of his attention was used to observe the situation on the road over there.
In this way, it was not until the afternoon of the fifth day that everyone was looking forward to it, and it was too late.
With Ziyu's tracking experience, the three of them will naturally not be exposed.
On the contrary, along the way, in the past four and a half days, the three of them did not just stand in place and wait, and Jiang Ning did not fall into the traps, formations, and hidden weapons that should have been arranged.
If you use all your skills, it is not impossible to defeat Na Kuriyama one-on-one, which is why Kuriyama finally chose to retreat when he surrounded and suppressed the three people on the mountain.
However, on the other hand, if Na Lishan was unwilling to fight to the death, if there was no preparation in advance, Jiang Ning would have no better way to keep him.
Therefore, for the three of them, since they want to keep this person, then traps and formations are necessary.
As a great master of formations in the original world, Jiang Ning actually mastered a lot of formations, especially the trapped formations and killing formations, which were almost at his fingertips.
However, in this world, because of the weak strength and the fact that there are no good materials for arranging the formation to assist, the formations that can be arranged are really limited.
Comparatively speaking, the arrangement of the phantom array does not have such high requirements for materials and true element strength, because, after all, it is not a real attack on the enemy, but only to confuse the enemy's senses, so that he cannot easily enter or exit a certain place, or make his senses confused.
The main formation that Jiang Ning is arranging at the moment is the Seven Bucket Smoke Cloud Array that he once arranged when he was catching rabbits in the cave with Que'er.
This formation can almost be said to have no attack power, but in terms of confusing people's senses, the effect is still quite good.
In the forest road in the rear, he Jiang Ning arranged a total of five Seven Dou Smoke Cloud Formations, besieging the city in a mouth-shaped shape, as long as someone entered it, no matter if he wanted to leave from that side, he had to break at least one formation to be able to do it.
However, the formation was still very rare in this world, or at least for those tribesmen in this forest, and Jiang Ning believed that they would not be able to find any way to crack it for a while.
Jiang Ning had reason to believe that if Nali Mountain did not have any special means, he would have to consume great strength and use the most violent means to be able to forcibly break through the Seven Dou Smoke Cloud Array.
However, in this case, he can escape, but he will definitely consume a lot of strength.
In that situation, Jiang Ning, Dong Xun, and Ziyu will have a complete advantage with three enemies and one.
Just as Jiang Ning and the others calculated, after leaving the tribe, Li Shan traveled directly along the road in the forest outside the tribe towards the white stone depression in the south.
There is a section of the road on the way, with a mountain wall to the west and a river to the east, and if you want to go south, you have to pass through such a narrow passage.
Therefore, in addition, ordinary people from the Lishan tribe and the Chiyuan tribe would not pass by here, so it was difficult for this formation to be discovered by others first.
No one will be the first to be hit, no one will know that there is a formation here, and when Kuriyama comes, he will be more likely to be hit.
The three of them followed behind Kuriyama all the way, and Kuriyama really didn't notice it in the slightest, and as usual, he walked into the narrow passage in three steps and two steps.
In the mountains and forests, Dong Xun and Ziyu, who were standing beside Jiang Ning on the left and right, both breathed a long sigh of relief.
Jiang Ning walked out from behind the shadow of the big tree and laughed softly: "It's funny, when I was on Qingyang Peak, the reason why that dead fat man taught me the Seven Bucket Smoke Cloud Array was so that I could use this maze to help him catch game. Later, I accidentally discovered my talent in formation, so I was sent to Granny Shu to learn formation for a year. ”
"Forehead ......"
The phantom array can trap people, and naturally it can also trap animals.
It's not impossible to use it to catch game, but it's really such a big thing, I'm afraid that only the fat man on Qingyang Peak can make it.
Dong Xun only felt that his understanding of cultivators had been inexplicably trampled on.
While the three of them were chatting, there was already a burst of smoke and dust on the narrow road, and the small trees around them began to break one after another, and they fell to the ground with a bang.
After the formation took effect, to the outside world, everything seemed to be normal inside.
However, when Jiang Ning's hands were engraved in advance with a spirit seal that allowed them to enter and exit freely, they could naturally see the real situation inside the formation.
At this time, Kuriyama's senses were disturbed by the formation, and he clearly felt that he was walking in a straight line, but in fact, he was turning back and forth in the formation.
It's like in the nest of the demon rabbit back then, the cold pool filled with snow agar was obviously there, and the magpie could see it, but it couldn't go over anyway.
Kuriyama's temper didn't seem to be very good, and after this toss, he still stood in place, and his whole person was angry, frantically attacking the outside.
The force that spread out from around his body urged the stones to break the wood, and the three people who looked at it were amazed.
Compared with these, what surprised Jiang Ning even more was that the energy released from the other party's body had exceeded his previous estimate, so that under the energy splash, some broken wood and gravel almost fell on the formation node he had arranged before.
There are seven hundred and forty-nine nodes in the Seven Bucket Smoke Cloud Formation, although it is said that one of the nodes is destroyed, and it will not have much impact on the overall operation of the formation, but in the long run, the nodes are damaged a lot, and the formation will be flawed, and when more than half of the nodes are damaged, Lishan is enough to escape from it.
Originally, Jiang Ning thought that his formation was arranged large enough, and the nodes were well hidden enough, but now, it was obvious that Li Shan's strength was at least thirty percent stronger than what he showed when he surrounded and suppressed them on the mountain that day.
"Cut," Jiang Ning pouted and said, "I actually know how to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger." ”
Dong Xun said with a smile: "People are the patriarch of a tribe, and they know what is so strange about this. Besides, with your strength at that time, even if he exerted all his hidden strength, we would be able to escape calmly, and he must have realized this, so he didn't use all his strength. ”
Ziyu glanced at Jiang Ning with some emotion and said, "Now, even if he wants to use all his strength, it's too late." ”
"yes. Dong Xun also looked at Jiang Ning.
It's hard to imagine that the man in front of him is only in his early fifties so far.
A person with unparalleled swordsmanship, runes, and formations, and a good brain, is actually in his early fifties, and when he looks back and thinks about himself, when he was in his early fifties, he was just a little demon in the Star Pole Realm.
You must know that she was already at the peak of Yuandan when she was born.
Dong Xun's selfish heart only feels that the world has concentrated the best talent, the most handsome appearance, and the most outstanding wisdom on the person in front of him, how much love should he have for him?
But for Jiang Ning, the world is fair, and how much love is given to him, the same amount of suffering is given to him.
If he had a choice, he would rather disperse all of his talent and even cultivation in order to have a warm childhood where both parents were there.
And Ziyu was already wondering at this time, was the man in front of him the illegitimate son of a peerless person on the mainland, otherwise, how could he have such an extraordinary talent, but he didn't seem to be clear about a lot of common sense?
On the contrary, Jiang Ning, from beginning to end, was quietly paying attention to the situation in the Seven Buckets of Smoke Cloud Array.
After an initial period of irritability, Kuriyama gradually calmed down.
Since indiscriminately attacking the surroundings has no effect, wasting a little more effort will only make your situation worse.
After his sanity returned, he began to try to find a way to truly solve the maze in front of him.
Of course, if you can't find the eye of the formation, or even if it's the node of the formation, if you want to break the maze, you can only say that it's a fool's dream.
Obviously, Kuriyama, who had never experienced a maze before, couldn't think of any effective way at this moment.
So, although his attempts continued until the evening of the same day, they still failed as a matter of course.
However, when he calmed down, he was not discouraged.
On the contrary, being trapped in the formation only fueled his fighting spirit.
Coincidentally, before they came over, there were really a few animals trapped in the formation, so they were reduced to Li Shan's plate meal, which replenished him with enough physical strength.
It's just that although the physical strength has been replenished, the recovery of star power is far from so fast.
Coupled with Jiang Ning, they had already begun to consciously drive away the animals around them, and when the next hunger came, it would be impossible for Lishan to find any decent food.
One day, two days, three days.
The three of them waited quietly outside the formation, while Kuriyama endured all kinds of wear and tear.
Gradually, the food was eaten up, and his strength was getting smaller and smaller, and he tried to pass through it from above, digging a way out of the ground, but all of them failed, but instead accelerated the onset of hunger and the loss of star power.
By the third day, he had begun to try to speak into the deserted forest, for he felt that since this was a trap, the target of the trap's owner must be himself.
Trapped and not killed, either because if they do it directly, they can't kill themselves or have to pay a big price, or they just want something in themselves, but they don't really want their own lives, in this case, there will naturally be the possibility of negotiation.
Of course, no matter what kind of rhetoric he said, Jiang Ning and the three of them just listened quietly, and did not mean to pay attention to it.
As the leader of the Lishan tribe, it is definitely much safer for a person like Lishan to die than to let him go, and the three of them have no reason to go out to negotiate, but leave a hidden danger to their future safety.
Five days later, almost all attempts failed, but Kuriyama still didn't give up.
With his cleverness, he has long realized that the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for him.
So, he tried his best.
