Chapter 213: Five Elements Formation
Counting the time, it has been ten hours since entering the underground passage. Since there were no pursuers in the rear, and there was no way out ahead, Higg had no choice but to negotiate with everyone to rest here in order to maintain his best condition for all kinds of situations that might arise.
The Vitality Purification Potion was very effective for the recovery of Blue Fairy and Dacomar's injuries, and with Daniel's clever healing methods, after six or seven hours of rest, the two of them were basically healed from their injuries.
……
The endless lava road, the hot and filthy environment, and the constant attacks of Magog and the three hellhounds, although there is no major danger, but after traveling for dozens of hours in a row, they still haven't found the exit, and all the people are so depressed that they almost collapse.
The more hot and stuffy it became, the more frequent the attacks by Magog and the three hellhounds, although there were occasional hot springs to relieve fatigue, but people who had been in the heat for a long time and soaked in sweat also felt more and more physically exhausted, and their mental state was not as good as before, and Noah even began to feel groggy.
"There's a light ahead," Pantony exclaimed, "Hahaha, we've found the exit!" ”
After saying that, they rushed forward, and everyone was in good spirits, and they also rushed forward with Pantony.
The front was getting brighter and brighter, illuminating everyone's faces red, but at the same time it was hotter and hotter.
"Be careful!" Pantony suddenly stopped his pace, and looked at the hundreds of pairs of red eyes in the slightly darker place about three hundred meters ahead, and couldn't help but feel creepy.
At least two hundred three-headed hellhounds were watching the crowd, each with three pairs of eyes and three large fanged mouths, waiting for Higg and the others to become their prey.
These hellhounds did not attack everyone like the hellhounds in the original lava tunnel, but formed a queue and waited in place, which made everyone feel even more incredible.
"The exit is ahead!" Pantony said nervously, "But we must cross the phalanx of the three Hellhounds!" ”
Higg said suspiciously: "These hellhounds are obviously organized, much larger than the previous ones, not completely without intelligence, and there are many of them, which are much more difficult to deal with than the ones they encountered before. If I want to force my way through, I have no other way for the time being! ”
Benjamin said, "The Three Hellhounds are the guardians of the gates of the Abyssal Hell. If the Hellhounds we encountered were patrols, then these Hellhounds are the real guardians of Hell's Gate, and their duty is to protect the Gates of Hell, so they will not attack us unless we actively attack or want to pass through the Gates of Hell. ”
"The Gates of Hell?" Daniel hurriedly asked, "Didn't you say it, how is it the gate of hell?" ”
"Since it's a door, there's an entry and an exit!" Benjamin said, "To go down is to enter, and to go up should be out!" ”
Nicole said worriedly: "But these guys are obviously much more powerful and ferocious than the previous three hellhounds, and we defended them before, and they attacked and killed a little hard, not to mention these guys formed a formation to defend!" ”
"Uncle, are you sure that if we don't take the initiative to attack, they won't pay attention to us and confront each other like this?" Higg asked suddenly.
Benjamin said, "Probably not, they're hellhounds guarding the gates, not patrols!" But if they're attacked, or if we're too close, and they feel threatened, they'll all rush out. ”
Higg smirked slyly, "I think these guards are much easier to deal with than the three Hellhound patrols I encountered before!" ”
Everyone wondered, "Do you have a way?" ”
Higg laughed, "Hahaha! Since they don't take the initiative to attack, let's attack with bows and arrows first, annoying them, and we're afraid that they won't come out? ”
Pantony was surprised and said, "If they swarm, how can we deal with so many?" ”
Higg smiled: "We can set up all kinds of traps and fortifications first, and then play with them, who told you to fight with them?" ”
The crowd was surprised and asked, "Is this okay?" ”
"We're not breaking the rules of the game, and who's to say you can't?" Lan Xian'er smiled, "I'll arrange the fortifications, you guys do it!" ”
The exit was ahead, and past the hellhound guards, you could see the light of the exit, and everyone was gearing up for a big fight.
In the open space between herself and the phalanx of the three hellhounds, Lan Xian'er began to point out, where to dig big pits, where to pile up stones and mounds, build bunkers, etc., all of which were marked in detail.
Originally, people thought that it was simply digging trenches, setting up obstacles and traps, or even building city walls, but now it is like digging pits and piling rocks indiscriminately.
Although there were professional tunnel experts like Pan Dongni present, everyone was still busy for three or four hours, and they were tired enough to finish it according to Lan Xian'er's arrangement.
Everyone was very puzzled that this kind of trap fortification could really hold back the onslaught of hundreds of three hellhounds.
Lan Xian'er pointed to the five piles of rocks and five giant pits in front of her, and said to Higg with a smile, "See what's going on?" ”
Higg scratched his head and said, "There are some shadows of the gossip array, but there are still many things that cannot be understood!" ”
Lan Xian'er nodded and said: "In addition to the mainstream formations of Tai Chi Liangyi and Four Elephant Bagua, there are also Sancai, Wuxing, Liuhe, Qixing, Jiugong Box and Ten Directions, to deal with these simple-minded guys, the Five Elements Array will do!" ”
"Five Elements Array?" Higg was surprised, "What will it do?" ”
Although everyone couldn't understand what Higg and Blue Fairy were saying, seeing Lan Fairy's confident appearance, they also came over curiously and wanted to ask the same question as Higg.
Lan Xian'er said with a smile: "The magic world is divided into four systems, water, fire, earth, and air, and the magic skills of each department restrain each other and complement each other. But my division is different, the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth are also mutually reinforcing, and the five elements are balanced! Our formation seems simple, and that's because we're not in the middle of it. As the so-called authorities are fascinated, bystanders are clear! People who are in the formation, restricted by the formation, are completely unable to act in their own way, and it is difficult to even come out! Would you like to try it? ”
Benjamin said: "I still know a little bit about the marching formation, but where is the eye of this five-element formation? If you are accidentally attacked by the enemy, won't you lose all your efforts? ”
"No Eyes!" Lan Xian'er smiled, "Or, there are five array eyes!" The so-called five elements are born together, which means that fire gives birth to earth, earth gives birth to gold, gold gives birth to water, water gives birth to wood, and wood gives birth to fire; The so-called five elements of mutual restraint refer to gold and wood, wood and earth, earth and water, water and fire, and fire and gold. In your opinion, where is the eye of the formation, and which is more important than which? ”
Pan Dongni was very curious and asked, "According to what you say, isn't this Five Elements Array invincible?" ”
"Invincible?" Lan Xian'er shook her head, "Hehe, any formation is annihilated in the face of absolute strength!" Where in the world is there an invincible formation? ”
Seeing that everyone was speechless, Lan Xian'er said: "Benjamin, Daniel, Nicole, Pantony and Dacomar, the five of you, enter five bunkers and wait for the opportunity to kill the enemy!" ”
"Good!" The five replied in amazement.
Higg wondered, "They all have things to do, so what do I do?" ”
"You watch!" Lan Xian'er said, "I will use your Dryad Bow to shoot the main generals in the phalanx of the three hellhounds, and lead them to attack us, and then they will inevitably enter the formation, and you will use magic to assist in killing the enemy, waiting for the opportunity to reinforce five points!" ”
"The Lord?" Higg was surprised and said, "They still have a leader?" ”
"How can they be so well-behaved without a leader?" Lan Xian'er said, "The three Hellhounds in the largest phalanx should be their leader, you must kill them with one blow to make their formation chaotic!" Although there is the support of the Five Elements Array, the more chaotic the enemy, the better it will be for us! ”
Benjamin, Daniel, Nicole, Pantony, and Dacomar have gone into their bunkers one after another. At the same time, the five people found that this bunker was indeed only exposed directly in front of them, and none of the five people could see each other, but they could sense that the other party seemed to be supporting them.
Blue Fairy nodded at Higg, who bent his bow and aimed at the three largest hellhounds. The leader of the Hellhound seemed to sense the threat of his opponent and roared in the sky, and Higg's Sky Feather Arrow was fired at the same time.
With the roar of the leader of the hellhounds, a phalanx of two hundred hellhounds slowly walked towards Higg. The leader of the Hellhounds seemed to want to dodge the attack of the Sky Feather Arrow and hid in the formation. But the bow of the tree elf fired with all its might, how could the Sky Feather Arrow that locked on the target lose its target, and pierced the Sky Feather Arrow of the two Hellhounds one after another, and finally pinned the leader of the Hellhound tightly to the ground, and the arrow just pierced through the chest. The Hellhound leader wailed, struggled a few times, and whimpered for his life.
The leaderless Hellhound phalanx suddenly became chaotic and rushed towards Higg like crazy......
The five-element array, composed of several piles of rocks and several deep pits, blocked the path of the Hellhound army's charge.
Higg first gave the Hellhound a collective mitigation skill, and then arranged five firewalls according to the direction pointed out by the blue fairy.
At first, several hellhounds fell into the trap and pit, and the subsequent hellhounds saw this and wanted to avoid the pit and rush around the rocks. But the hellhounds found that they had avoided the trap of the pit, but they could not avoid the piles of rubble, and they were blocked by the wall of fire, and they wanted to find another way, and out of nowhere, a sword or a dagger stretched out from nowhere.
These three hellhounds are much smarter and stronger than those patrolling hellhounds, and they don't blindly rush into the firewall, but when they enter the Five Elements Array, they get dizzy, and they can't seem to get out. It was clear that Higg was in front of him, but the piles of rocks, deep pits, traps, walls of fire, and killers hidden in bunkers were like thousands of barriers, and they couldn't rush through.
