Since successfully drawing a piece of paper, Li Cao has practiced harder, dreaming of sleeping at night and immersing himself in it. For painting, he has a good talent and is willing to practice, so he makes rapid progress, and the simple formation diagram in front of the book is quickly proficient, and the drawing can no longer be wrong.

Li Cao began to practice painting those complex formations used for fighting, those formations are composed of several parts, according to Zhao Hong's teacher said that one stroke, in fact, it means that each part, the whole still needs a few more strokes. At the same time, he is also practicing controlling his own aura to verify whether the formation map is successfully drawn. However, this is really a delicate job, and if you are not careful, you will fail, and the amount of spiritual energy required for each formation diagram is different, so you can only rely on yourself to slowly explore.

After almost a month and a half, Li Cao was finally able to skillfully draw three formation diagrams for fighting, and almost all of the drawn formation paper could be stimulated. It's just that verifying whether the formation map is successful or not is still a little rusty, and we still need to continue to work hard.

Spring goes to summer, and it's midsummer in the blink of an eye. The scorching sun went down, the breeze blew, the heat dissipated, Li Cao practiced for a day, returned to the school, and just entered the courtyard, he found a familiar shadow, a little stunned.

Lin Xi raised his eyes and saw Li Cao, got up from the stool, and shouted, "Big brother is back, just in time Miss Zhao came to look for you." ”

Zhao Ting also stood up, turned around, and after a few months, she became more and more heroic, making people ignore her handsomeness at first sight.

Li Cao eased up, stepped forward quickly, and said in a respectful tone: "Miss, do you have something to do with me?"

Zhao Ting smiled and said, "How many times have I told you, we are friends, don't call me that." ”

Li Cao scratched his head and said innocently: "It's already called habitual, and I can't change it for a while." ”

Zhao Ting smiled, "Whatever you want." ”

"Sit down, Miss. Li Cao said.

The two sat down, and Lin Xi also poured a cup of tea for Li Cao, and said playfully: "Let's talk, I'll go back to the house first." ”

Although Lin Xi and Zhao Ting have known each other for a long time, because Lin Xi doesn't like to talk in recent years, and Zhao Ting can't take the initiative to chat, the two are not familiar with each other, so they can only be regarded as nodding friends, and Li Cao did not stop Lin Xi from leaving.

Zhao Ting asked, "Have you been busy with anything lately?"

Li Cao replied truthfully: "I just finished participating in the spring harvest event held by the academy some time ago, and now I have nothing to do, just practice normally and strive to improve my realm strength. ”

Zhao Ting said bluntly: "Since this is the case, then I won't be polite to you." Master has given me a task that requires the help of a wood cultivator, and I think of you, but this matter may take months and be a little dangerous. ”

Li Cao hurriedly said: "I'm willing to help, but my strength is too low, I don't know if I will hold back." ”

"It's not a matter of delay, but there is indeed a requirement for strength, can you use the array paper now? If not, I can only find someone else." Zhao Ting smiled.

"Coincidentally, I just broke through the realm, and I just reached the realm where I can use array paper, and it seems that God has asked me to help. Li Cao said happily.

"By the way, don't worry, you can see if you can urge this gourd. ”

Zhao Ting said, took out a green gourd and put it on the stone table.

Li Cao curiously picked up the green gourd, which was just right to hold in his hand, looked at it carefully, rubbed it, and shook it twice by the way, but he didn't find anything peculiar, and asked, "Is it okay to inject the aura directly?"

"Yes. Zhao Ting nodded.

Li Cao didn't say much more, running the exercises, the aura came out of the body, and the green light wrapped the gourd, and after a while, suddenly there was a loud and crisp chirp. The cry was magical, one long chirp, two short chirps, then a moment of silence, and then a cycle of chirping. Converge the aura, and the cry is silent.

Seeing this, Zhao Ting said with a smile: "It seems that I am lucky, and this time I should go out smoothly." I'll trouble you, but don't worry, I'll give you a reward whether it works out or not, and I'll do my best to keep you safe. ”

When Li Cao heard this, he felt a little embarrassed in his heart, but he was helpless, who made ......himself inferior in strength, but he politely refused: "There is no need to be rewarded, didn't the eldest lady say that we are friends?

Zhao Ting interrupted: "Okay, if it weren't for you at that time, I'm afraid I would also have worried about my life, and we are also friends of life and death, so don't be so polite." In fact, that reward is not given by me, but by my master, so don't give it in vain. ”

In that case, I would be more respectful than obedient. Li Cao said obediently.

"What was the sound just now? I heard it from afar. Zu Zhenlin's voice came from outside the door.

Zu Zhenlin pushed the door in, and when he saw Zhao Ting, he was also stunned, and then said happily: "Miss Zhao hasn't seen you for a long time, it won't be a realm breakthrough, come to us to celebrate, right?"

"I'm sorry to disappoint you, I'm here for nothing, I'm here today to ask for something, Li Cao has already agreed to help, how is it, have you had anything lately?

"Well, of course you can help, but you'll have to treat you to dinner when you get back. Zu Zhenlin joked.

"No problem, and there's a reward. There is no need to refuse, it was not given by me, it was given by my master, so don't give it in vain. Zhao Ting hurriedly said again.

"Okay, so I'm going to be disrespectful, can you tell me how you can help?" asked Zu Zhenlin.

"Master asked me to go to the area of Dongyao Mountain to collect a strange fruit, according to Master, although it is not more dangerous than the Demon Beast Mountain Range, it is not too much worse, there are also demonic beasts and divine beasts, and the fruit we are going to collect this time is guarded by a divine beast called the Golden Thunder Eagle. But don't worry, Master has already taught me the method, so I can lead it away and take the fruit without incident. ”

Zhao Ting said, picked up the green gourd, and explained: "The sound you heard from the gourd just now is actually the cry of the golden thunder eagle, but it is just the cry made during courtship. This kind of mythical beast is still quite magical, and the male bird will look for strange flowers and fruits, all in pairs, and guard them until they are ripe. When the exotic flowers and fruits are ripe, the female will come and chirp outside the male's territory, and the male will fly out and bring it back when he hears it. ”

"It's troublesome, isn't it okay to scream a few times?" Zu Zhenlin said with a smile.

"In that case, we won't have a chance. Li Cao reminded.

"Yes. Zu Zhenlin nodded.

"That's because sometimes more than one female comes. Zhao Ting said with a smile.

"Well, it's quite a blessing. Alas, no, if there are other females coming at that time, wouldn't it be a bad thing?" Zu Zhenlin suddenly worried.

"It's okay, the two females around are dead, and they won't be sideways. Zhao Ting said firmly.

It's good to enjoy the shade with your back against a big tree, which is why the young and handsome people in the clan clan are easy to grow up, some people will remove the obstacles that you can't cross on the way forward in advance, but some people will also cause a weak mood because of this.

"That divine beast Golden Thunder Eagle doesn't have spiritual intelligence, right?" Zu Zhenlin asked.

"No, so it can save us a lot of things, but of course we can't be careless. Zhao Ting said.

Zu Zhenlin and Li Cao nodded in agreement.

Zhao Ting continued: "I thought about it before, it's not enough to use the gourd to lure the golden thunder eagle away, although it has no intelligence, but it is definitely not stupid, and it is strong, we are not opponents, once it finds the clues, I am afraid that we are all in danger of life, so we still need the two of you to make a move, you both know the formation, study it, and put a formation to trap the golden thunder eagle." There is no need to kill, it is too time-consuming, and it is easy to change after a long delay. Of course, I will provide all the spirit stones we need, so that we will have enough time to pick them and leave. And I'll only take one fruit, so that it won't go crazy and can't get away from chasing us. ”

"Miss Zhao is thoughtful, so she will do as you say. Zu Zhenlin praised.

"Then let's talk about it, how about leaving in five days?" Zhao Ting asked.

"I'm fine. Zu Zhenlin replied.

"I'm okay too. Li Cao echoed.

Zhao Ting handed the gourd to Li Cao and said gratefully: "Thank you, then I won't bother, and when I come back, I will definitely treat you to a big meal." ”

"I'll go. ”

"The eldest lady is polite. ”

Zu Zhenlin and Li Cao sent Miss Zhao away, Zhenlin saw that Li Cao's face was blushing, and he didn't make any jokes.

"Big brother, I'll leave the matter of this formation to you, and I'll give you a hand. Zu Zhenlin said lazily.

"I ...... Can I do it?" Li Cao said unconfidently.

"Why not, haven't you already learned a new formation? After years of development, you must be more powerful than my old ones, don't worry. Zu Zhenlin affirmed.

Li Cao followed Teacher Zhao Hong to learn to set up a formation, but before he really set up the Great Array of Heaven and Earth, his heart was already eager to try, so he no longer refused, "Then I'll try." ”

Lin Xi came out of the house, sat next to the two of them, poured himself a cup of tea, didn't say much, just asked, "Big brother, second brother, do you need me to do anything?"

"No, the third brother just concentrates on recuperating his injuries. By the way, we have to go out with Miss Zhao, so we can only trouble Li Ji to take care of it. Zu Zhenlin said.

"Second brother, don't bother, in fact, my injuries have healed, and I can take care of myself. Is it dangerous for you to go out this time?" Lin Xi said with concern.

"Miss Zhao has thought very thoroughly, if it goes well, there will be no danger, of course, there are no absolutes. Zu Zhenlin smiled.

"I won't take the initiative to ask for help, and I'll cause you trouble. Lin Xi is quite self-aware, "I can only wish you all the best here." ”

"You're welcome between brothers, you still have to pay attention to your initial recovery. Li Cao admonished.

"Yes, big brother, don't worry. Lin Xi agreed.

"When we come back, we'll find a few more restaurants and go out for a good meal. Zu Zhenlin said.

"Yes. ”

As the night grew darker, the three of them chatted for a while and went back to their houses.
