This is the Dark Herald's defensive array.

Among the various techniques in the human world, the formation method is one of the very common techniques. Among the various types of spells and martial arts, formations occupy a very important part, among which the dark spells of the Dark Envoy account for the largest proportion. The formation displayed by the Eastern Earth Army is a kind of defensive formation unique to the Dark Envoy.

This defensive magic circle has two characteristics: the first point is that it is an extremely rare formation that can be cast by people with low or no cultivation. Second, because the level of the people involved in the formation is relatively low, the number of people required to cast the formation is also extremely large, and a high-level dark envoy who is well versed in this formation is required to guide the execution. Don't look at the fact that most of the people who participated in the formation were people with no cultivation and low cultivation, but the strength of the formation was really not low. The defensive formation of this million-strong army of the Eastern Territory, under the guidance of the national master Zi'an, can even withstand the full force of the master of any profession below the 11th rank without wavering.

Of course, the 11th-order masters, although they are proud of their existence in any realm on weekdays, but this is actually nothing in the frontal battlefield where there are many masters. The frontal army that can withstand the attack of the soul beast for several days, of course, the overall strength is far more than the level of the 11th order, of course, that must be under the premise of the blessing of the secret method of the Jiuxia Sect. At this time, the Jiuxia Sect fell into the empty window period of the secret method, and the officers and soldiers in the army continued to rotate for several days, and the non-stop attack had exhausted everyone. At this time, Zi'an recovered the soul beast, and only he understood that this recovery was a last resort, but the United Army did not know.

Of course, Xiao Jing also understood that the enemy would not recycle such combat power at such a time for no reason, instead of taking advantage of the victory to pursue it. After a little thought, you can roughly guess the reason why Zigishi stopped attacking. Although now is a godsend opportunity to launch a counteroffensive, the Eastern Turkish Army is blessed by the formation, and as long as it is stationed in place, the barrier will be impregnable. And the coalition army needs to rest due to the previous days of continuous fighting, and the secret method of the Jiuxia Sect also needs time to restart, now is by no means a good time to launch an attack on the eastern soil, at this time, the most important thing for the coalition army is to recuperate and prepare for the second round of soul beast attacks. It's just that the time for the second round of soul beasts to come back is faster, or is the time for the secret method of the Nine Xia Sect to cool down faster?

The answer is soul beasts.

"The frontal troops of Dongtu have entered the plain, and the right flank army has also retreated under pressure, and now the army of Dongtu has fully invaded the territory of Zhongshan. ”

On the other side of the spiritual connection, Polaris' clear voice revealed an unconcealed anxiety.

"How much longer?"

"In half a day, the secret method of the Jiuxia Sect can be restarted, and there will be no problem in holding on for a few more days!" Chu Xiaoxiao, who entered the coalition to inquire about the news, responded.

"Tell Xiao Jing that you must hold on in this half day!"

The connection is cut off. In the belly of the soul beast, in the pitch-black space, two pale-faced puppets maintained the same posture, and they both looked up.

On the seventh day of entering the soul beast's body, they finally found something other than water and stones.

It was a huge object, like the roots of an old tree deep in a pool of water. The jagged skin glows with an obscure sheen in the light of the demon fire, and the sinuous branches climb up and entangle with each other, like blood vessels growing on them. At the top of the trunk was a huge platform, surrounded by a few branches that grew out of it, and from a distance, it looked like a huge palm sticking out from under the pool. At this time, there was a man growing in the palm of his hand.

Yes, it's a person who "grows". The man was not in the palm of the palm from the waist down, and the hands were inside, only the wrist was exposed to the air. Many fine lines protruded from the palms of the man's arms, and the upper body of the man, extending to the chest. The person and the trunk of the tree are almost one, and the trunk seems to be absorbing the nutrients from the person, and the person seems to be drawing energy from the trunk, but it is not like a person.

"Great harvest, what we finally found after seven days of searching, not only things other than stones and water, but also a person?"

Zi Songlin was quite interested in the spectacle in front of him, and his dry throat let out a strange snort, and then with a flick of his fingers, the demonic fire in his palm slowly rose. A bright fireball slowly rose, illuminating the large open hand towards the sky, as well as the face of the person who grew inside. In the indigo light, the man slowly opened his eyes.

"Yo, this man is still cheating on the corpse!" Purple Pine Forest let out a contrived cry.

Naturally, the man also saw the two people standing under the tree. "Puppet?" By the light of the fire, he naturally saw that they were two pale people, and a living person would not have such a complexion. However, to his surprise, apart from the fact that there were two people in such a place—no, puppets—how could he look at these two puppets that seemed familiar?

I can't remember where I saw him for a while, but he can't act now, and being discovered at this time is not a good thing. The only people who can enter here safe and sound are the people of Dongtu. Thinking of this, his expressionless face suddenly revealed an awe-inspiring murderous intent.

"Now that you've found this place, don't think about going back. ”

The voice was low and slightly hoarse, like a poisonous snake crawling out of a crack in the stone, and the snake letter revealed ** killing intent. I'm afraid that if you really stand here as a living person, you will definitely feel that the soles of your feet are as cold as falling into an ice cellar, and the cold on all sides can freeze into the bone marrow. Even if it is just a puppet injected with a little spirit, you can still feel a huge sense of oppression falling from the sky. Purple Pine Lin stretched out his little finger and plucked out his ears.

"Young Master, did you say that the core of this soul beast has become a spirit, and it will actually threaten people?"

The person beside him, who had not spoken for a long time, looked at the person in the palm who was murderous at them with an expressionless face, jumped slightly, and jumped into the palm.

Bi Lingxiao squatted down and looked at the person in his palm. "You're the heart of this monster?"

It was not a pleasant act to be pressed in front of a pale dead man, whose eyes swirled around on his enlarged features, and a certain face suddenly appeared in his memory.

"You ......"

"It seems that you still have your brain, let's say, how did you become the core of the soul beast?" Bi Lingxiao patted the corner of his clothes that was not free of any dust and sat down cross-legged.

The man was stunned for a moment, and then the overwhelming killing intent suddenly disappeared.

"Sure enough, it's you!"

The man in the palm, that is, Augustus, opened his eyes in surprise - yes, the only living person that grew in the palm of his hand, Bi Lingxiao and Zi Pine Lin wandered in the body of this soul beast for several days, was none other than the devoured God of Killing, Augustus. No wonder he felt that these two puppets were a little familiar, weren't they the puppets that Bi Lingxiao had forged for him in the cave that day!

After the initial shock, he slowly regained his original look, only with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.

"I said we'd see each other again!"

"But you never thought it was here. ”

Bi Lingxiao also looked at the person in front of him. He never expected to see the legendary god of killing who had already been sacrificed here!

Why did this guy sacrifice himself to achieve the sacrificial array, not to mention, but also became the core himself?

"Not really. Augustus looked at the purple pine forest below, and then at him. "You're here to sabotage the sacrificial array?"

Augustus naturally understood who the soul sacrifice was conceived to deal with. Since this little demon has a deep hatred with Dongtu, it is not impossible to intervene in it. It's just that the strength of this sacrificial array, he naturally knows best, although Bi Lingxiao is young and promising, his own level is definitely not enough to destroy the sacrificial array head-on. The reason why I appeared here is to find other ways to destroy.

"Sacrifice Array?" Bi Lingxiao snorted a sneer from his nostrils. "Ever since you sacrificed yourself for sacrifice, the sacrificial array has ceased to be a sacrificial array. It was done, it evolved, it became a creature, and we now call it a soul beast. ”

After he said this, Augustus was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.

"Hahaha, although I voluntarily fused with the sacrificial array, it was not as a sacrifice!"

It turns out that this guy was not devoured because of carelessness, it seems that he deliberately got up and was devoured?

Seeing that the other party did not speak, Augustus knew his doubts, so he continued:

"I'm a person who never owes anyone else. When you asked me about the Soul Sacrifice that day, I guessed that this was probably the place where you were afraid of Dongtu, so I thought I would help you investigate, and it would be good if I could solve this problem along the way. I found the location of the sacrificial array, which had not yet taken shape at that time, and was guarded by several high-level disciples. I saw that the altar was pregnant with very majestic energy, and I thought about touching it, but I didn't expect that there was a huge suction force from that thing. My newly acquired body needs abundant energy to make the spirit and flesh more united, so I entered the altar by the suction force, in order to obtain the energy of this sacrifice array!"

Augustus said, with an icy smile on his face.

"If you let Dongtu know that the results they have painstakingly accomplished for so long will once become a meal on the plate of his enemies. Thinking of the angry and helpless faces of those people at that time is even happier than killing them!"

I see. Bi Lingxiao understood.

It is true that Augustus came to look for the sacrificial array because of him, but it was this man's own idea to be devoured by the sacrificial array. This guy has been trapped in the Circle for so long, and this time he was born, he naturally wants to take revenge. But the people who arrested him back then, and the decision-makers who made the decision, have been dead for an unknown amount of time. Cutting their descendants with a thousand knives alone was no longer enough to vent the anger in his heart. Seeing years of hard work ruined, and there is no power to fight back, it is indeed a pretty huge blow.

There was no problem with Augustus's idea. This practice can not only vent his anger, but also make the unity of spirit and flesh more perfect, and also help Bi Lingxiao solve the problem in front of him, which can be described as killing multiple birds with one stone. However, his good thoughts did not change, and it was precisely because of his origin that the sacrificial array was able to be completed quickly, leading to the birth of the soul beast, not to mention......

Bi Lingxiao swept people's eyes up and down. "If I'm not mistaken, you're actually trapped right now, aren't you?"

At first, Augustus saw them both coming, and he thought they were men sent from the East. If this guy can act at will, he will definitely slap them to death as soon as they meet, instead of just glaring at them and making a murderous anger.

This sentence can be said to be to the point, Augustus choked for a moment, and immediately said loudly:

"I just need time!"

"Not necessarily. Bi Lingxiao squinted at him. "I think it's because of the evolution of the soul beast that you not only failed to absorb it, but were trapped in its body and became a part of its body, right?"

The correct answer was said with such precision that Augustus blushed. When he first came into contact with the altar, he had roughly estimated the energy of the altar, and with his current ability, he would have no problem absorbing it. But he never expected that the sacrificial array would be finally completed due to his own integration, and then evolve to give birth to a soul beast, and the energy in it was also a big step upward, so that he couldn't completely control it now. And because it has penetrated deep into its interior, it can't be walked away, and it can't be absorbed completely, and under the pull of both sides, it has become what it is now. Although it will not be digested and absorbed by the soul beast, it will not be able to get itself out of here. What is the difference between such a situation and being in the Circle?
