Chapter 804: Final Preparations
Lassoes, beams, cone pits, flying sand, and dark arrows, the piles of scattered materials that had been collected before, had all blended perfectly into the surrounding environment.
At this time, Jiang Ning still had Dong Xun, and he had already returned to the temporary camp halfway up the mountain, lit a bonfire, and barbecued the snake meat of the python that Jiang Ning left before.
Dong Xun chewed the snake meat with relish, while feeling the subtle but real pure energy, along the body's digestion of the snake meat continued to spread, only to feel that the whole person was like being soaked in hot water, warm and indescribably comfortable.
"The python you killed, in the body, it is estimated that it already has six or seven percent of the demon beast blood, right?" Dong Xun said vaguely.
"More more," Jiang Ning said, "According to my estimate, it should only be one foot away from becoming a demon beast completely, and if it weren't for the help of Xiao Han Array at that time, it would be impossible for me to win it at all." β
A hint of brightness flashed in Dong Xun's eyes, "The formation of our world, can it also be arranged here?"
When it comes to formation attainments, although she is far from being able to compare with Jiang Ning, after all, she has lived for so many thousands of years, and she has mastered a lot of some primary formations in the long years.
If the Xiaohan Formation can be successfully arranged on top of this world, it means that some other formations also have such a possibility, even if because of the subtle differences between the rules of the world, they cannot exert ten percent of the power of the original formation, but if they can play six or seven percent, for them, it is already very helpful.
Jiang Ning smiled: " As far as these lowest-level rules are concerned, the difference between this world and our original world is actually not big, so most of the formations can still be arranged, but if there is not enough true element, the materials required to arrange the formation are very complicated, and the species and minerals in this world are still somewhat different from our original world, and it is not so easy to find materials that are close to each other in a short time, otherwise, we don't have to arrange traps before, wouldn't it be better to arrange the formation directly in the forestοΌβ
Dong Xun glanced at Jiang Ning with some confusion, and said: "If I remember correctly, the materials needed to arrange the Xiaohan Array are not much, they are too little, but they are also a lot, so how did you find those materials when you arranged it at that time?"
Jiang Ning shook his head a little embarrassed when he heard this, and said, "Where can I find so many materials in such a short period of time, it's just that after arranging two or three spirit seals with the true yuan, I stopped to restore the true yuan, and after I recovered, I continued to arrange it, and that's it." If it weren't for the fact that those traps were useless for a big python who stepped into the threshold of the demon beast one by one, I wouldn't have done that thankless task. β
Dong Xun laughed when he heard this, "You are so smart, it turns out that there are times when you use stupid methods!"
Jiang Ning smiled casually, "In this world, the smarter people are, the more they like to use stupid methods, and fools take the so-called shortcuts." β
"My mother seems to have said something similar to me. Dong Xun smiled and continued: "At the time, I only knew a little about it, but now I know six or seven percent!"
"Yo," Jiang Ning said angrily: "With this Sword Immortal's words, you just understood one or two percent, and the remaining three or four percent are still floating in the sky?"
Dong Xun smiled, "The rest of the three or four percent, and leave it to time." β
Immediately, neither of them spoke, and the snake meat roasted on the bonfire was almost eaten by them at this time.
The two sat side by side, looking into the distance, Jiang Ning was just dazed, but Dong Xun said with some surprise: "Sitting here and looking down, I found that I couldn't see the traces of the trap we had laid down before." β
"There are still flaws," Jiang Ning said with a smile: "It's just that if even a layman like you who has only studied traps for two days can see it, we don't want to expect those traps to make those people from the Chiyuan tribe trick." β
Dong Xun didn't hesitate to poke his fingertips at Jiang Ning's back, and said angrily: "You guy, you always speak so poorly." β
"I'm already very polite to you," Jiang Ning said nonchalantly, "If you have the opportunity to go to the Yang Realm, and you see my group of friends, you will know how mean this Sword Immortal can be." β
"Cut," Dong Xun couldn't help but pout, and said, "You guy, when you first came, you weren't as beaten as you are now." β
Jiang Ning said: "That's because we weren't familiar with it at that time, just like when I first came, I didn't know that there was a stupid girl in this world who lived for more than 50,000 years, but her mind was still as simple as a little girl." β
"You dare to call me stupid?" Dong Xun was about to twist the meat on Jiang Ning's waist again.
Jiang Ning dodged and dodged, and said angrily: "Such a simple trap, I haven't learned one for a whole day, do you say you're stupid?"
Dong Xun stood up suddenly, his face turned red, he stiffened his neck, and retorted with little confidence: "What do you know, I'm just the first time I've come into contact with traps, and I'm just a little unused to it, and when I practice more time, I will definitely be able to produce better results than your traps?"
Jiang Ning didn't expose it, just hugged his arms and smiled: "Then I'll wait and see." β
Dong Xun still said angrily: "You wait for me!"
With that, the girl disappeared into the camp and ran down the woods to practice your trap-setting skills.
Jiang Ning was empty, so he sat down cross-legged and ran his own Wood Emperor Sutra.
The secret technique of the heart method is the same as the rune paper and the formation, in this world, although it can work, but when the true element passes through certain special nodes of the body, there will be some stagnation that has never appeared in the original world.
Whenever there is a stagnation of the true element, a part of it will directly overflow through the veins and enter the flesh.
Yes, even after absorbing the power of the purple heart amber periphery, the physical body had made great progress before, but these days, the strength of Jiang Ning's physical body was still improving.
Of course, there are problems, that is, the cultivation speed of the Wood Emperor Sutra in this world is not very fast at all, on the contrary, because the nodes of the true yuan operation have been sluggish and leaked, although the efficiency of cultivation is very high, but a large part of the true yuan obtained from cultivation has been absorbed by the body, on the contrary, within the dantian, although the number of true yuan has increased a lot, it is far from meeting Jiang Ning's previous expectations.
Jiang Ning, who didn't worry much about the strength of his body, stopped after practicing for two days, and turned to use the "Cangmu Sword Diagram" that he had cultivated earlier to run the true yuan, and the result was that the quality of the true yuan did not improve, although the speed was faster than the Wood Emperor Sutra, but it was not much faster, and although the refining speed of the sword yuan for the physical body was faster, that kind of improvement was not as good as the overall improvement of the infiltration of the power of the origin wood, so after only cultivating for a few hours, Jiang Ning gave up this plan.
Immediately afterwards, he tried the "Tianxun Bone Record" again, I have to say that on top of the bone quenching, this mental method is much more powerful than the Wood Emperor Sutra, but the problem Jiang Ning is facing now is that the physical strength is still enough, but the true yuan that relies on the carving rune paper and the unknown formation is quite scarce, every time, it needs to be recovered intermittently after the true yuan is exhausted, and then start again, for him, it is an extremely inefficient thing, and to a considerable extent, it affects his ascension speed.
So much so that in the end, after thinking about it again, Jiang Ning decided to use the Qingxuan Foundation Heart Method, which had not been used for decades, at this stage.
Just as many years ago, in the city of Zhanzhou, Jiang Ning personally explained the mental method to Que'er, even Qingxuan's sect leader Mu Yu did not cultivate the "Wood Emperor Sutra" at the beginning.
Cultivating the Wood Emperor Sutra was a matter after he became the Heavenly Pattern Realm.
The reason why I didn't use this set of highest-level mental methods to build the foundation of this sect before was because this kind of high-level mental method was too slow to advance in the early stage, and the effect was relatively insignificant.
Therefore, there is a reason for the excesses that occur at different stages of the practice of the mind.
When he first came to this world before, for Jiang Ning, even survival was a problem, so there was no other leisure time to think about things like changing his mind.
However, by now, the basic survival ability has been fully possessed, and under the condition that survival is not a problem, Jiang Ning immediately noticed that when he came to this new world, he suddenly fell from the top of the food chain to the bottom again, and changing his mind was a very necessary action.
The assassins of the Chiyuan tribe came back much later than Jiang Ning expected, obviously, after three assassin teams with no less than twenty people appeared in the tribe one after another, the entire tribe of the Lishan tribe was in a state of rumor during this time, the grass and trees were all soldiers, and the defense work around and in the tribe was strengthened several times in a short period of time, even for the last team of assassins who had not yet made a move and were in relatively good condition, the difficulty of escaping from the Lishan tribe was far more difficult than when they came in before.
Jiang Ning originally estimated that the news that the purple heart amber had been stolen would spread throughout the entire Lishan tribe in a day at most, and after a day, those people from the Chiyuan tribe would evacuate one after another.
However, in fact, the group of people from the Chiyuan tribe who were hidden in the shadows wanted to leave the Lishan tribe quietly several times, but they were blocked by the checkpoints set up by the Lishan tribe later, and they had to retreat.
As for the assassins who were discovered by the Lishan tribe before, they are now the remnants of the defeated army, with heavy casualties, and even those who escaped alive are just temporarily finding a suitable hiding place among the Lishan tribe, hiding in the dark and silently licking their wounds, waiting for the opportunity to escape.
However, because of this period of time, the high-level of the Lishan tribe conducted five comprehensive inspections of the entire tribe within ten days, so that many of the Chiyuan assassins who originally thought they had hidden were still found out by the meticulous work of others, and in the end, the remaining ones died again, and the rest once again hid in the darkness.
Of course, if someone asks right now, isn't there a single one of the three Assassin teams in front of them who escaped?
The answer, of course, is yes.
For example, the last time he was in the ice cellar, he was put on a table by Jiang Ning, and after he came out, he swore that he would not die well no matter what, and now he has escaped from the Lishan tribe.
However, the direction of his escape was not to return to the north of the Chiyuan tribe, but to the further south of the forest.
Of course, this man is not a brain pump, he has his own considerations.
In terms of strength, he is the most powerful of the four squad leaders who infiltrated the Lishan tribe, and even if he is alone in this rainforest, he can survive well.
However, if you return to the Chiyuan tribe to resume your life, things will be a little difficult to say.
Chi Yuan, the current patriarch of the Chiyuan tribe, is not such a good talker.
The mission was not completed, but he ran back alive, and if he went back to his life like that, he would definitely make Chi Yuan unhappy.
That guy is moody, once he is unhappy, his life may not be saved, even if he happens to be in a good mood, but he is not able to successfully complete the task, he will definitely be beaten.
When the Lishan tribe broke out of the encirclement, he had already tried his best, with internal and external injuries, and his physical condition was very bad.
If he chooses to return to the Chiyuan tribe at this time, even if he is only beaten by Chiyuan as a punishment, his body is very likely to be unable to support it, which is a situation he absolutely does not want to see.
There are no known large tribes such as Kuriyama or Akabuchi in the south of the forest, and if he escapes in this direction, on the one hand, his survival can be guaranteed at the most basic, and he will be able to recover from his injuries in the body for a period of time afterward. On the other hand, he didn't have to speculate fearfully about what kind of punishment that the weird-tempered guy in Chiyuan would leave for him after returning to the Chiyuan tribe.
All kinds of coincidences were superimposed, and the final result was that when Jiang Ning and Dong Xun waited for nearly half a month, thinking that those people should appear on this road even if they were slow, some scattered refugees, with the same thoughts as the captain of the Chiyuan tribe, marched towards the south in order to save their lives, and the last group of shadow assassins of the Chiyuan tribe, at this moment after half a month passed, they had just found an opportunity to relax their guards and successfully escaped, and it would take at least five or six days to come to the place where Jiang Ning and Dong Xun laid the trapγ
However, although the development of things was somewhat different from the original plan, Jiang Ning and Dong Xun were not in a hurry.
People like them, who were already at a very high level in the original world, don't know how many times in their lives they have experienced a situation where their plans have changed in the middle, and now, this is just that, with a little extrapolation, it can be figured out that as long as their targets are not all killed in the Lishan tribe, even if there is a deviation in the time of return, in the end, they will definitely come to their trap area.
Therefore, Jiang Ning and Dong Xun planned to wait for the rabbit from the beginning.
And in the past half a month, Jiang Ning's rebuilt "Baoyuan Jue", because of the relationship between light and familiar roads, the growth rate of true yuan is very fast, originally there were only a few misty fog in the dantian at the bottom, and now the reserves of true yuan have begun to take shape, at least, at one time, depict dozens of rune papers, or use the true yuan to fabricate the spirit seal, and directly arrange a primary formation, there is no need to wait intermittently for the recovery of the true yuan in the body, but can be directly arranged in one go.
This is undoubtedly a great progress for Jiang Ning.
What's more, although the quality of the True Yuan has inevitably decreased a lot, and the speed of physical growth has almost come to a standstill, the current True Yuan content is enough to support Jiang Ning to manipulate the Shen Yin Long Sword and fly with the Dongxun Imperial Sword for a period of time.
In this way, even if he was surrounded by the Chiyuan tribe, Jiang Ning had a certain confidence to escape.
When he gradually felt that the blood in his body had completely completed the second tempering, and in such a high-level world as the world inside the giant scorpion palace, his strength had once again recovered to the level of the peak of blood condensation, Jiang Ning felt that his cultivation could come to an end temporarily, so he gradually slowed down the speed of his cultivation, and instead arranged some hidden formations around the trap one after another.
There are primary formations such as the quagmire formation, the wooden beam formation, the stone prison, and the thorn chain, combined with some low-level triggerable restricted rune paper, mixed with traps and the dense vegetation of the rainforest, Jiang Ning feels that even if the previous team leader with good strength comes back and falls into his own trap and formation group, he must not be able to eat and walk around.
And that's exactly what happened.
When the time came to the twenty-first day, the teams of the Chiyuan tribe who had returned from the Lishan tribe followed their familiar path and walked to the trap group arranged by Jiang Ning and Dong Xun.
These people had already died in the trap, and Jiang Ning and Dong Xun were standing side by side outside the formation of the squad leader of the fourth team, looking at each other:
"Will you ask, or will I ask?" said Dongxun.
