Chapter 4: Strange Formations

In the forest of corpse gas, the wind blew coldly, carving people's faces, as if they wanted to cut off people's skin. The sun has long since thrown the world to hell, leaving only the cold all over the ground. The trees drooped their mutilated bodies, proudly showing people the bloody wounds, and the strange hook moon had already unconsciously hidden itself in the clouds, as if it was afraid of something. The pale light immediately turned into a bottomless darkness. It was getting darker, and the rolling clouds obscured the little light with nightmares. Everything is shaking with the wind.

As soon as the three of them walked into the place filled with corpse qi, they felt a cold and cold aura rushing towards their faces, the extremely rich corpse qi made Lin Qing and Lin Xiao frown, the two of them were still slightly uncomfortable with this corpse qi, but Yang Gong, on the other hand, was not as uncomfortable as the two of them.

Looking at the clouds of black mist rising into the air becoming more and more dense, Yang Gong carefully reminded: "Be careful, open the spirit shield, the corpse qi here is too thick, don't be invaded by the corpse qi." ”

Hearing Yang Gong's reminder, Lin Qing and Lin Xiao both urged the spiritual power in their bodies at the same time, and poured the spiritual power into the spirit shield, only to see that the spirit seal slowly rose upward, suspended above the heads of the two, but the rune that was originally the color of a stone emitted a gentle white spiritual light, enveloping the two of them in it, isolating the pervasive cold corpse qi outside.

The three of them cautiously walked forward, and what they saw was a mess, the dead dead trees, the withered flowers, all of them were telling the damage caused by the corpse qi, everything here showed that the corpse qi was extremely corrosive, and the entire forest shrouded by the corpse qi was lifeless, a mass of dead things, and a barren.

The forest was as quiet as a dead place, and the atmosphere became more and more eerie.

The three of them walked forward quietly, although they could feel the coldness of the corpse qi outside the spirit cover, but the corpse qi did not bother the three of them, nor did they attack the three of them, everything was as if they were walking among the trees as usual. This strange scene aroused the alarm of the three of them, everything here was unremarkable, except for the thick black corpse mist that obstructed the view, there was no abnormality in the other places.

But Lin Qing became more and more cautious in his heart, everything here was too weird, he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it. "Brother Yang, Lin Xiao, be careful, I always feel that something is wrong, but I can't say it. Lin Qing reminded carefully.

Feeling the unusualness of the forest, the three of them are secretly lucky, ready to deal with emergencies at any time.

At a certain moment, Yang Gong, who was walking in the front, suddenly stopped the pace that was about to move forward, and the essence flashed in his eyes.

"Brother Yang, what's wrong?" Seeing Yang Gong who was advancing, he paused suddenly, and Lin Xiao behind him asked carefully.

"It's coming. As soon as Yang Gong finished speaking, he saw that the originally lifeless branches were resurrected, with a trace of gale, and lightning struck the three of them. As soon as Yang Gong finished speaking, Lin Qing and Lin Wei both felt that something was wrong, only to see Lin Qing tap the ground with one foot, with a little force, and slightly moved a step to the side, just at the moment when Lin Qing just stopped his body, he saw a line of extremely black branches and vines across the place where Lin Qing was standing, leaving a deep imprint, telling the power of the blow just now.

The blow failed, as if it aroused the anger of the vines, only to see more and more black branches rushing towards the three of them, the speed was so fast that it didn't give the three of them the slightest time to react, 'touch, touch, touch' hit the ground violently, and in desperation, Lin Qing had no choice but to use the phantom traceless body method to dodge the fierce attack.

The Phantom Traceless Body Method was obtained by Lin Qing when he was cultivating in a secret cave, it is a body method, which can only increase his own speed, but has no attack effect, and belongs to the lower grade of the ground level. Generally, cultivators divide the exercises into four levels, from low to high, they are human-level exercises, earth-level exercises, heaven-level exercises, and god-level exercises, and each level is divided into upper, middle, and lower levels.

Generally speaking, if a heaven-level exercise is born, it will cause people from all regions to rob it, and for so many years, I don't know how many people have died for it, and how many sect families have been ruined for snatching a practice, but how important a heaven-level exercise is, it can make a small force leap into a first-class force, and it can improve its own cultivation realm, so everyone does not hesitate to fight with their lives.

As for the god-level exercises, it was just a legend, and there had been no news of god-level exercises on this continent for nearly a thousand years.

Lin Qing said while dodging: "Brother Yang, these branches don't seem to be tired at all, it's not a way for us to hide like this, if we don't come up with a countermeasure in time, it will be very bad for us." ”

Yang Gong also did not stop, constantly dodging the black rattan that hit him violently, but compared to Lin Qing and Lin Wei, his body is much smarter, although he is also dodging, but he is at ease and relaxed, and although Lin Qing and Lin Wei are not embarrassed, they are not as graceful as him.

"Now we seem to be caught in a formation, if we can't break the formation in time, then this damn branch vine won't stop, but fortunately, this formation is not very powerful. Yang Gong saw a hint of clues.

"Then how to crack this formation?" Lin Wei asked.

"As long as you find the eye of the formation, you can break this formation. Lin Qing explained.

"Yes, the main thing for us now is to find the location of the formation eye, and only by breaking the formation eye can we break this formation. Yang Gong agreed.

The formation has a long history, since ancient times has been passed down to the present, once flourished, but I don't know why it gradually declined, until Guiguzi, the ancestor of the Guigu Tianji Sect, was born, but the formation was resurrected in his hands, and gradually flourished, and he was extremely poor all his life, and he actually reached the situation of the ground array division, but unfortunately failed to break through the heavenly array division and reached the realm of the unity of the heavenly array.

The formation division is divided into small formation division, large formation division, Xuan array division, spirit formation division, earth formation division, and heavenly array division, if a cultivation is not high, but the formation master has a high attainment in the formation and the cultivation of the spirit of the decisive battle, the winner has a high probability of being the formation division, the horror of the formation is not the strength of the individual, but the rational use of the formation division of heaven and earth. And the Heavenly Array Master, the one who can shatter the heavens and the earth with a single gesture is the wish that many Array Masters dream of, desire but cannot reach.

"But this place is full of black fog, and we don't see the light of day, and we are now entangled by these branches and vines, how can we find the location of the eye of the formation?" Lin Qing used his technique, constantly dodging the branches that attacked him tirelessly.

Although Lin Qing was not a formation master, he was quite good at calculating the word formation, and while carefully dodging the tree vines that were frantically attacking him, he carefully looked at the surrounding environment.

But I saw that these branches and vines were all from the top of the ancient tree ten zhang in front of them, and Yang Gong glanced at each other, and people actually looked at the ancient vine tree ten zhang away, only to see that the diameter of the Teng tree was about three zhang in size, although it grew luxuriant, but the branches and leaves were all highlighted by the pitch black, and the Teng tree was strange without the slightest green.

Although Yang Gong is well-informed, this situation is the first time he has encountered it, and he doesn't know what to do for a while, and when he sees the source of the vine, he seems to have an understanding. Xuan even heard Yang Gong shouting: "Could it be that the eyes are on the Teng tree?"

When Lin Qing heard this, he all looked at the ancient Teng tree, but the Teng tree was unremarkable and there was nothing worth noting. Lin Qing, who was observing, heard Yang Gong's reminder not far away, "Have you noticed that the seven inches of the trunk of the Teng tree are a little different?"

When Lin Qing heard this, he looked at the seven inches of the tree trunk, and sure enough, he found that the place was different, and there were obvious nicks at the seven inches, and he didn't know what the meaning of the nicks was.

At this time, I saw Yang Gong gather the spiritual power on his fingertips, and the cyan spiritual light jumped between his fingers, and then I saw him point out, and the cyan spiritual light quickly pointed to the nick like an arrow, and then saw that the cyan spiritual power was in contact with the notched place of the Teng tree, but what made the three of them feel strange was that when the two contacted, the imaginary spiritual power explosion did not appear, and the finger of spiritual power sent by Yang Gong was like a mud cow entering the sea, like a feather falling into the ocean without a trace of ripples, only to see that the finger of spiritual power was slowly dissolved when it touched the mark of the Teng tree, until it disappeared。

This strange scene made Yang Gong more and more puzzled in his heart: "What is this thing that can actually absorb spiritual power." Yang Gong thought in his heart.

Not only did Yang Gong feel strange, but Lin Qing and Lin Wei were also extremely surprised. The three of them thought that the mark was related to the formation eye, but they didn't expect this to be the case after Yang Gong made a move, which was completely unexpected by the three of them.

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard Lin Qing say, "No, you can't move anywhere." ”

Before the words were finished, they found that the branches that had been attacking the three people had disappeared, and the three of them were strange but heard a loud rumbling sound in their ears, and before the three of them could react, they suddenly saw the earth shattered, the grass and trees were flying, but the originally calm forest was suddenly shocked, looking at the slowly cracking crack under their feet, the broken land, the three of them were shocked in their hearts.

After that, Lin Qing saw countless black shadows crawling out of the ground, those black shadows looked like human beings, their whole bodies were extremely black, their bodies were full of corpses, there was no emotion in their eyes, like a living dead, they slowly moved in the direction of the three of them, looking at the countless black figures in front of them, the three of them also slowly retreated, but Lin Xiao's words behind them were like a basin of cold water, extinguishing the hope of the three people. "It's this in the back, too, and we seem to be surrounded. ”

"What is this, why are there so many?" Lin Qing asked.

Yang Gong's face was full of vigilance. "This is a corpse, and it is also corpse qi, but in a different form. Yang Gong explained.

"Corpse Boss? Lin Qing wondered.

"The corpse is to infuse the corpse qi into the body of the dead, and through the manpower casting forging, the corpse can be formed, and the corpse is also a kind of puppet, but it is much more powerful than ordinary puppets, it is not only unconscious, but also the body is very strong, and the degree of solidity can even be comparable to some demon beasts. I don't know where Yang Gong knew so many things, and explained to Lin Qing and the others.

"Someone must be controlling these things, otherwise why are there so many of them all of a sudden. Lin Wei said.

Lin Qing and Yang Gong didn't say a word, their eyes were firmly fixed on the corpse that was fearless and rushing towards them like a dead soldier.

"Lin Qing, you just said that the mark can't be moved, did you find something?" Yang Gong suddenly asked.

"No, I just don't think the nick is where the eye is, but I didn't find it. Lin Qing said disappointedly.

Yang Gong was shocked, "How can you see it?"

"Although the seven inches of the ancient tree vine is obviously different, but after you made a move, I realized that it was someone who did it on purpose, and his purpose was to confuse our vision, so we set up a suspicious array, so that we mistakenly thought that it was the formation eye, and then we went to destroy it, but it was another trap. ”

"Oh?"

"Look at these corpses, do you feel that they are also part of this formation, in fact, it is not, to be exact, that formation has been broken under your finger just now, but that is the cleverness of the person who set up the formation, if we want to break the formation, we must attack the seven inches of the ancient vine tree, but if we really do this, then we will fall into another trap of the person who set up the formation. Lin Qing slowed down and continued: "If we really break the formation, this is the result. Lin Qing pointed to the corpse that was slowly surging in.

"If we don't break the formation, then those branches and vines will continue to entangle until our spiritual power is exhausted, and this place is rich in corpse qi, which is beneficial to them and harmless, they all rely on absorbing these corpse qi to increase their attack power, unless we are strong enough to raise our hands to destroy this place, otherwise, we have only one result, and that is death. Lin Qing analyzed calmly, as if he had already looked down on life and death, and death was nothing to him.

Seeing Yang Gong, who had not said a word, Lin Qing continued: "Since the matter has come to this point, we can only take one step at a time, let's solve the problem in front of us now." ”

Looking at the black oppression, Lin Qing could even feel that kind of oppression, although the strength of each corpse leader was not very high, but it was very tricky for so many corpses to rush up together.

"You guys be careful, it's best not to run into them, let's hold on first, there must be a way to crack it. As the black shadows continued to approach, Yang Gong also reminded with a solemn face.

After finishing speaking, the corpse leader who was shrouded in corpse qi was even in front of him. The three of them were also surging with spiritual power all over their bodies, dodging in all directions, in order to prevent the consumption of their own spiritual power, Lin Qing and the three of them were dodging, not fighting the corpse head-on, while dodging, thinking about how to deal with it.
