Chapter 644: The Road Is Blocked
The remnant sun was like blood, reflecting Wu Jie's shadow on the ground, dragging it out for a long time.
Wu Xie stood on the city tower, staring at the empty city, his eyes were deep, and he was afraid of it in his heart.
Along the way, it is already the third such city.
He didn't know why, and he wasn't sure if it was the insects that had taken all the inhabitants of the city away, but he was sure that there must be a great conspiracy behind it!
"Senior Brother Wu, we have carefully searched the entire city, and we have not found any traces of the battle." After a while, Ding Xiaoyue and Meng Xiujun, who had gone to search for clues, came back, but they didn't gain anything.
After a while, Furmaki also returned with his spirit beast hound, although the hound was a mortal, but he had been carefully cultivated, and his ability to track the smell was better than that of most noble spirit beasts - the spirit beast was the assistant of the monk, and most importantly, it could help, such as bloodline or something, in fact, it didn't matter that much.
Kaka, a curly dog, can distinguish the thin smell of a few months ago, which is really amazing. But even it has not been able to find more clues than what is known.
Kaka smelled the smell of insects and was sure that there had been insects in the city, and there were many of them. But it doesn't have to be that troublesome at all, you can tell by looking at it, because there are footprints left by insects on the ground.
The situation in this city is the same as the previous one - the insects suddenly attacked, and the time should be in the middle of the night. The sleeping inhabitants were controlled by spells, went out in a daze, came to a clearing outside the city, and then disappeared. I don't know if I entered the Cave Heaven Artifact? Or was swallowed by a giant flying monster......
"I think this reconnaissance can end here." The old man with withered leaves persuaded, "No matter what the insects take away this city of residents for, it won't be a good thing after all. Along the way, the three cities, which together have a population of at least one million or more, are all gone...... Such an act is enough to characterize him as an evil demon! ”
His opinion was very reasonable, Wu Xie and Zhong Qi both nodded in agreement, only Zhong Chao was very disapproving: "Brother Withered Leaves, we have to talk about evidence in our work." If you want to see people in life, you have to see corpses in death, but if you can't do it, you must at least have physical evidence. Relying on the words of a few of us alone, there is no way to convict the entire Alien Insect Clan! ”
"But...... Where do you find physical evidence? Zhong Qi asked with a sneer.
Zhong Chao choked, thought for a while, and whispered: "Just keep looking, anyway, sooner or later you will find it......"
"Withered Leaf Daoist is right, what we have seen and heard along the way is already quite strong evidence. What should be done now is to go back to the division and report back on the situation. Even if you want to continue exploring, you will have to wait until after the report. Wu Xie thought for a moment and said.
"But the teleportation fee is not cheap......
"With the mana of Senior Brother Zhong, Withered Leaf Daoyou, and me, the three of them joined forces, and they could barely urge the Great Shift Formation." Wu Xie smiled, "Go back first, send the news back, maybe the division will help us reimburse the travel expenses." ”
This is true, as long as the news they send back is truly valuable, the Yujing faction will definitely not hesitate to reimburse them for the transmission fees along the way, and most of them will give them some additional rewards.
It's just that this kind of result obviously can't satisfy Zhong Chao, he frowned, looked very annoyed, and muttered in a low voice for a while.
In the end, he still accepted the old man's suggestion.
It was extremely dangerous for a group of people to come to this place where the insects were entrenched to reconnoitre. The information currently received is important and should be sent back as soon as possible. As for sending it back, he could wait for the master to send a team to clear out the demons, and with his status as a Dao Fruit monk, he should be welcomed.
After making up their minds, everyone immediately turned around and galloped along the road they had come from, hoping to rush back to the division as soon as possible and report the news they had received.
But no one expected that when they arrived at the Great Shifting Formation, what they saw was not the huge formation attached to the leylines, but a messy pile of ruins.
The construction methods of the Great Shifting Array are different in different places, and the Great Shifting Array of Yunphong Kingdom is based on huge stone piles as the magic pillars, and the trenches dug on the ground as the formation diagram, with the help of the power of nature to form the formation. This kind of formation is relatively wild, but it is better because the investment is low, and it is more convenient to maintain, as long as there are some monks in the Jindan realm, the daily maintenance can be completed by comparing the formation map.
As for teleportation, it can only be said when the power of the leylines has accumulated enough. Similar to the situation of the Cliffs of No Wave, the Great Shifting Array here is also activated every few decades.
With Wu Jie's strength, of course, they can directly launch a formation and leave without relying on the leylines. But the premise of this is that they must first have a complete Great Shifting Array that is connected to the distance.
Looking at the ruins in front of them, everyone's faces changed.
The piles of stones were all scattered, and the heaps of boulders were scattered everywhere; The ditches in the ground have either been dug or filled, and there is no sign of what they used to be; The worst thing is that even the leylines here have been destroyed, even if they can recover the formation on the ground with the impression in their memory, it is impossible to teleport with the help of the formation.
Suddenly, they were trapped in the country of clouds, trapped at the ends of the earth far away from the division!
Looking at the ruins that had once been the Great Shifting Array, everyone was silent. Mao Juan asked a spirit beast that looked like a mole cricket and knew how to escape to the ground to go down to the ground to take a closer look, and after a while, the spirit beast came back to report to him, and his face became more and more ugly.
"The leylines have been so badly damaged, it can be said that they have been completely destroyed!" He sighed and said, "I know a little bit about the formation, the leylines here are completely chaotic, and it is impossible to support a more rigorous formation between rearranging them and putting them in order." And sorting out the leylines is a long-term job, and it will definitely not be possible to do it without Bai'er 80 years......"
"Yes, it's easy to destroy, but it's hard to build!" The old man sighed, "To build this great shifting array, I don't know how many manpower and material resources are needed; But to destroy it, all you need is ......"
His words stopped abruptly and he frowned.
Supposedly, the Great Shifting Array shouldn't be destroyed so easily!
What he can think of, others can naturally think of, but everyone didn't think in this direction at first. At this moment, seeing that the old man with withered leaves suddenly stopped talking, everyone was reminded and came back to their senses.
The Great Shifting Array relies on the leylines of the earth, and it is just a pile of stones and many ditches, but it is actually incredibly strong. If you don't have the power to shake the leylines, let alone destroy them, even if you want to move a stone or scoop away a bowl of water, it will be even more difficult!
Generally speaking, if there was no Yang God True Immortal to make a move, it would take at least dozens of Dao Fruit Cultivators to join forces to destroy a Great Shifting Array.
Could it be ...... Is this the work of those bugs again? What do they want to do when they destroy the Great Shifting Array and leave Wu Xie and the others in the Cloud Race Country?
