"If you want to buy me with this thing?"

Cheng Shen shook his head.

Of course he knew.

This textbook, which can allow a survivor to advance from an ordinary person to a junior magician, is already a very precious thing, but for him who has already mastered the magic of the four rings, it is really not worth mentioning.

Compared to the Blue Whale Mage's relics.

It's even more rubbish.

If Cheng Shen doesn't know, forget it.

But it seems that the so-called sincerity of pure white penguins has no sincerity.

No, the process was deep, and there was no embarrassment for the old farmer in front of him or the demolition of his territory.

He knew where the pure white penguins had gone.

Leave the Ice Castle.

Cheng Shen climbed the towering snow-capped mountains shrouded in wind and snow in front of him.

The foot of the mountain is quite gentle, the ground is frozen blue, a few tenacious grass breaks through the solid soil and shakes, and the snowflakes floating from the top of the mountain, mixed with the icy cold wind, bring a chill to the bones when they fall on people.

But Cheng Shen didn't feel cold.

The surging blood qi made his body steam, the cold wind could not penetrate it, and the snowflakes had melted into dripping water before they could get close.

The higher you go.

The ground is gradually covered with a thick layer of snow and ice.

The mountain path becomes hard and smooth, and if you are not careful, you will roll off your feet, and the cold wind will be like a knife. There are still monsters hiding in the snow. The environment here is really harsher than in other areas.

Walk up to the mountainside.

The ridge of the main peak extends out to connect with another low snow-capped peak, and above this traverse ridge there is an empty platform.

The platform is neatly like a natural chessboard.

Ice sculptures are scattered.

Like flags standing one by one.

Some of these ice sculptures are human, but more often than not, they are all kinds of hideous beasts, multi-legged insects, and decaying souls.

They have been around for a long time.

Cheng Shen could tell from the costumes worn by the human ice sculptures that they were from different eras and civilizations.

It's not the same batch.

So why are there so many people and monsters from different eras here?

Cheng Shen guessed that this battlefield map, perhaps, was not the first time that it had been used by the system and the Chaos Gods as a battlefield to filter seeds.

Ages.

I don't know how many brutal faction wars have been experienced here.

And the Blue Whale Mage's relics are probably not the first time they have been excavated.

This made him a little worried.

Will

The treasure has actually been poached by previous survivors?

In the blink of an eye, he denied his own thoughts.

If the treasure is gone, the system will not deliberately choose this map, as the battlefield of the lords of both factions, every seemingly random decision he makes must have a secret behind it.

Lean on the ** platform.

Cheng Shen suddenly felt an extremely cold breath rushing towards him.

Moment.

A misty white mist appeared out of thin air in front of his eyes, enveloping the four wildernesses and obscuring everything.

Ice sculpture

Snow

It's all gone.

He was the only one standing alone on an empty platform shrouded in mist, and his vision could only distinguish the distance of less than five figures.

"Illusion magic?"

Cheng Shen's heart sank, he did not rush forward, but slowly took a step back.

Call!

A gust of wind whirled.

The fog quickly faded.

In the blink of an eye, the scene in front of me returned to its original appearance.

Airplanes!

Cheng Shen's eyes were full of golden and red light, his talent was opened, and the quiet platform with ice sculptures immediately presented a completely different situation.

The wind was cold.

Snow flakes are like knives.

The entire platform seemed to be shrouded in an extremely cold hell intertwined with wind and snow, and ice-blue whirlpools appeared and disappeared on the platform like the mouth of an abyss, stirring the surrounding elemental fluctuations extremely chaotic.

And the ice sculptures actually came to life.

Their faces were cracked and their limbs were stiff and wandering on the platform, like ghosts trapped in hell and unable to escape.

Cheng Shen's eyes moved slightly, "Sure enough, it's an illusion." ”

He looked at his feet.

Dense patterns were carved into the ground, and the junction line was one step ahead of him.

Look at its size.

This magic array can at least reach the standard of the second order.

The level of the magic array is judged according to the number of runes it carve, and if the number of runes used to be depicted is less than 1,000, it is regarded as a first-order formation, and the standard of the second-order magic array is less than 10,000.

At this time, the large magic array that appeared in front of his eyes.

The number of runes used.

Definitely more than a thousand.

The dense fly-headed symbols were like an article written on the earth, connected by fine magical lines, and countless runes intertwined into a dense array, enveloping the entire platform.

"There are many runes that make up the base of the formation that I have never seen before...... It turns out that there are so many kinds of functional runes!

Wrong.

The runes that condense this effect alone have three different structures here......

Count what I've mastered.

There are four of them.

What is the difference between these condensers with different structures? Isn't it okay to use just one? What role does it play in this magic array? ”

Suddenly.

Cheng Shen was attracted by the exquisite structure of this magic array.

He lacks professional knowledge and teaching, whether it is the study of magic or formation, it belongs to drawing gourds in the same way.

I just know how it works.

It doesn't work.

Cheng Shen is equivalent to an outlier who has not learned to choose words and sentences, has not received language education, but is proficient in all words.

The same runes.

The effect in his hands is completely different from that of a regular mage.

If an ordinary person writes an article, then he is piecing together a bunch of words indiscriminately, piling them up, and forcibly giving them a meaning of understanding.

But the weird thing is that

The articles he forcibly pieced together not only did not appear to be incomprehensible in words and sentences.

On the contrary, it is more concise and close to the facts than those articles written in flowery rhetoric......

No, the process is still deep and curious about the inheritance of knowledge in the old era.

He can also learn a lot from it.

"I see......

Even condensation runes with the same effect are divided into strong and weak effects......

But not the stronger the effect, the better.

The most important thing to portray a magic circle is the coordination and balance between each rune.

A more effective cohesion rune may not be suitable for combination with other functional runes.

At this time, it is necessary to use less efficient condensation symbols to reconcile them......

No wonder.

I was having a block when I wanted to combine cohesion and strengthening runes......

The effect of some condensation runes is simply for a certain element, which can effectively sift out the required elemental energy from the mixed heaven and earth elements.

Well......

This reminds me.

Although I can directly mobilize any single element, the magic array depicted will not have such a function.

I can't just be on the sidelines all the time. ”

As soon as Cheng Shen studied it for a while, he fell into obsession, and he completely forgot the purpose of his coming here.

He stared intently at the operating structure of the magic array in front of him.

And parse from it.

His rune library has been upgraded again, and has been greatly expanded.

Wait for Cheng Shen to come back to his senses.

More than ten minutes have passed unconsciously.

And he came back to his senses because he had already mastered the runes of the formation base.

I want to get a closer touch of the runes of the main structure of the magic array.

You have to get into the formation.

"It's a pity that I haven't mastered how to break the formation gently."

Cheng Shen's heart flashed.

Cracking the magic array requires skill, combing the veins of the magic pattern, locking the position of the array eye, and then lifting it through special techniques.

And in this whole process.

The first step is the hardest.

This is a great test of the array mage's rune reserves and eyesight experience.

The last step is the easiest.

Generally speaking, the technique of breaking the formation is systematically inherited and taught, just like a functional skill similar to the gathering technique.

Just master.

You can crack a variety of different magic arrays.

But on the contrary.

Cheng Shen was stuck in this step.

Of course.

Everything is the same.

The key to cracking down is on the meaning of these two words.

The ultimate goal of any cracking method is to break the formation, Cheng Shen can be violent and without any side effects, and breaking all magic arrays is the ultimate goal pursued by the way of cracking.

But now.

Instead, he really wanted the kind of cracking method that could peel back the cocoon.

Cheng Shen just wanted to crack a part of this magic array and keep a part of it for observation.

If the formation is violently broken, all rune lines will be directly wiped out.

"I had to venture in......"

Cheng Shen thought.

He weighed the gains and losses between breaking through and gaining from the bottom of his heart.

Ultimately.

Or make a decision.

Even a player of the level of pure white penguin dared to enter the formation, and he had no reason to be afraid.

And the main thing is.

With his strength, in this world, it would be difficult to kill even those four lord-level creatures.

I can basically walk sideways.

Don't worry even if you're trapped.

After a few dozen minutes, the system will forcibly recall all lieges.

This is also Cheng Shen's greatest confidence......

Call!

He took a step forward, and the vast mist reappeared in his field of vision.

No, the process is deep, and the innate ability is turned on at this time.

Barely affected.

All he saw was the rolling snow and the dazed wandering frozen ghouls.

Swish!

A dark whirlpool appeared on the ground in front of him, then disappeared.

Silently.

But the energy fluctuations contained in it made Cheng Shen vigilant.

"An attack comparable to the magic of the Three Rings...... If they are swallowed up by this vortex, creatures below the lord level will hardly have a chance to resist. ”

Cheng Shen shook his head.

He suddenly thought.

This kind of vortex is not visible in the field of vision of normal people at all!

And.

It's another random refresh without warning.

Even if you are prepared, I am afraid it will be difficult to escape!

These ice whirlpools are like dark mines that can be detonated at any time, and this threat alone makes it difficult to move an inch in this area.

And that's not the only danger here......

"If a pure white penguin dares to come here, what will he rely on? Maybe it's something like a peace charm left by the Blue Whale mage......"

Thoughts turned.

Cheng Shen's footsteps kept moving forward.

He dodged the whirlpools all the way, dodged the raging whirlwinds, dodged the wandering frozen corpses, and to outsiders his progress was irregular, as if he was spinning in place, turning back and forth from time to time.

Gradual.

Cheng Shen is close to the central area.

The structure of the runes depicted here has also become more complex.

At this time, the hidden crisis that appeared in front of Cheng Shen's eyes was not limited to the previous three random attack methods.

Lost

freeze

Imprison......

One by one, the individually structured magic traps contained in the overall formation appeared in front of him.

The existence of these traps makes the whole array even more dangerous.

One wrong step will trigger a trap that will trigger a chain reaction that will put you in a situation from which you will never recover!

Soon.

Cheng Shen was stunned.

There is only one clear path to safely pass through this large array!

The person who designed this big array didn't intend to let people pass through here by luck at all, as long as they didn't move forward according to the direction he had arranged, anyone who came here would die or live, and as many people as they came would have to die here!

Because.

He set more than just a fixed route.

There are also randomly refreshed ice vortices, hurricanes, and frozen corpses.

Fixed paths and uncertain random factors are superimposed.

This system can be called absolute defense!

But.

Even if it's a Blue Whale mage.

I'm afraid I didn't expect such an outlier as Cheng Shen to come here.

While watching.

Cheng Shen walked forward on thin ice.

The complexity of this magic array was far beyond his imagination, at least several times that of the outer formation in the gargoyle land, and it was a composite formation that integrated attack, defense, illusion and other functions.

Cheng Shen is hard to imagine.

Without the help of cheat-level talents like energy control.

How many years does an ordinary array mage have to study, how proficient he is, and how much time does it take to lay out such a big array.

Estimate.

The unit of time has to be calculated in hundreds of years.

Transcendents live a long life......

Cheng Shen couldn't help but think of Arjieka's words at this time.

Not into the extraordinary.

It's all ants.

No matter how strong your talent and strength are, it is useless, people can easily survive your ten or eight generations of children and grandchildren just by staying up to life......

Near the center.

The raging wind and snow and randomly refreshed ice vortex suddenly disappeared without a trace, and the wandering frozen corpses also avoided this area, intentionally or unintentionally.

It's as if you've stepped into the center of the storm.

Extreme quiet.

On the contrary, Cheng Shen felt a little uncomfortable for a while.

"Huh?"

The light-shrouded figure standing in the center turned his head to reveal a young face, dressed in azure robes and a pair of bracelets that shimmered red and green, shining on his wrists.

"You've made it this far!"

The pure white penguin said in surprise.

"What's that?"

Cheng Shen didn't answer his question, and looked at the light in front of him, the position of the thing was exactly in the center of the entire large array, and through the frost-white light, it was faintly visible, and among them was a metal ring.

"That's what I'm looking for......"

The pure white penguin's eyes twinkle as he spoke.

He's not a fool.

Cheng Shen's appearance here already illustrates some problems.

Whether he had been to his territory or not, whether he had received the meeting gift or not, the pure white penguin had never told the old farmer where he was going.

Cheng Shen can find here.

Undoubtedly.

He already had some information about the Blue Whale Mage's legacy.

But what surprised the pure white penguin the most was how he got here!?

He couldn't know the danger of this great array.

Luck alone.

I've been dead on the road eight times out of ten!

Pure strength!?

The pure white penguin silently rubbed the green bracelet on his right wrist.

Call!

A raging hurricane appeared around Cheng Shen without warning.

His brows furrowed slightly, his steps retreated sharply, and as soon as he dodged the shroud of the wind and snow hurricane, a dark whirlpool appeared under his feet! An extremely powerful suction force suddenly came out of the whirlpool, and an endless chill seemed to engulf him!

"Humph!"

Cheng Shen snorted lightly and heavily.

Boom!

The whirlpool shattered.

The shattered ice ballast sped across his body, but not even a tiny white mark was left on the silver-white shining armor.

"You dare to do it with me!?"

His gaze shot at the pure white penguin like lightning.

The pure white penguin's breath suddenly stagnated, as if it was being targeted by a terrifying beast, and its heartbeat missed half a beat.

He stiffened his face and smiled.

"Orange God, where are you talking about, the traps here are all randomly triggered, how can I control it......"

He couldn't hide his horror and laughed dryly.

Really!

He relied on his strength to break through!

This is also too perverted!

The pure white penguin immediately regretted his decision to test him rashly, in the face of such a terrifying enemy, his actions just now were simply dead!

"Whether it's true or not, you'll know when I take it!"

Cheng Shen sneered.

"Brother Shen!"

"Hmm!"

Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.

But it doesn't matter who it is.

There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.

on this.

Shen Changqing is used to it.

Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.

Arguably.

In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.

When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.

When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.

The Demon Suppression Division is huge.

The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.

Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.

Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.

Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.

Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.

Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.

Have memories of the predecessor.

He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.

It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.

Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.

At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.

Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.

Access to the attic.

The environment has changed in vain.

A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.

The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
