Chapter 109: Change and Turnaround
At this time.
The light flickering from the ground beneath Xie Zhou's feet became dimmer and dimmer.
This did not mean that the light of the formation had faded, but that it had sunk into the ground, obscured by the rock formations.
Therefore.
This shows that the formation has reached the final step.
Perhaps when the leaked light is completely gone, then it means that the formation is completely completed.
Qin Luo had learned the way of the formation before, but it was not systematic, and it could only be regarded as self-taught.
And the formations he learned were not as complicated as the formations that Xie Zhou had arranged at this time, and they needed to consume so much material and energy before they could be cast.
Therefore, he has no basis for judging whether the formation layout is successful or not.
Of course.
Whether the formation is successful or not, Qin Luo doesn't need to look at other aspects, just looking at Xie Zhou's demeanor and expression, he can explain most of the problems.
Taking a deep breath, Qin Luo began to nervously wait for the development of the follow-up matters, plus thinking about how he would act in order to stay out of the matter and not be affected by the firefight between Bai Zheng and Dao Alliance.
About a quarter of an hour later.
The light emitted by the formation was completely extinguished and disappeared.
Xie Zhou's demeanor changed from the original nervousness to peace.
All this can show that the formation has been completed at this time, and it is extremely smooth.
Qin Luo and Qiu An glanced at each other and asked each other with their eyes.
Shall we do it?
After thinking for a moment, Qin Luo shook his head lightly.
If you do it now, it's still too close to this formation.
It would not be good if a fierce fight ruined the formation.
Just as Qin Luo and Qiu An ended their eye contact, the formation ended synchronously.
Xie Zhou exhaled deeply, feeling that the strength in his body was leaving him, but the knowledge about the formation in his mind changed from chaotic to clear, and it became more organized.
He is now over-consuming because of the formation, but the skill of the formation has gone further.
It's just that his consumption is too great, and the aura in his body is empty, and he may faint at any time.
If that's the case, without your own reminder, my companion won't be wary of those two people on the way back.
Xie Zhou's body staggered, but he just held on to his breath and didn't fall.
The next moment.
Lao Wu, who was closest to Xie Zhou, noticed that he was showing some weakness, so he immediately moved to his side.
Holding Xie Zhou, Lao Wu asked in a low voice with some nervousness: "Old Xie, how is the situation of this formation?"
Although we have enough materials to set you up once, it is only enough for one time. ”
He didn't know anything about the arrangement of the formation, but he noticed that Xie Zhou's state was weak at this time.
Well, now there are only two scenarios.
First, Xie Zhou's formation was successful, but the consumption was too great.
The second is that Xie Zhou's formation failed and suffered from the counterattack of the formation.
In the second case, the current situation may be a bit worse.
You must know that it will take time for Xie Zhou to recover, and if you have to summarize the reasons for this failure, you can arrange the formation......
That decade or even a month may have to be spent here.
And the Lingzhou beast herd is still on the sidelines.
When Lao Wu thought about the follow-up situation more and more, Xie Zhou's weak voice interrupted his thoughts.
"It's okay, the formation is complete, it's just that my consumption is a bit large, and I have to recuperate for three or four days before I can return to normal."
"It's good that the formation is done." Lao Wu was relieved and nodded, "You don't have a lot of loss, if you need any pills, tell me directly, I have a lot of them with me." ”
Xie Zhou waved his hand and said, "No." I also have the elixir on my body, but I didn't expect that the spiritual power that this formation needs to stabilize is so amazing, it almost squeezes me dry.
But now is not the time for us to communicate, let's get back to the station quickly and deliver the mission. ”
After he said this, he watched as the beast tide in the distance began to stir continuously, and gradually dispersed away.
But the uneasiness in his heart has not dissipated in the slightest.
Why is that?
Could it be that after the formation is completed, there will be other changes?
The mission went so smoothly this time.
Even for the two people who intervened horizontally, he took precautions and sent someone to leave first, and went to the Xianqiao Gorge station to investigate whether the identities of these two people really existed.
It stands to reason that what you do should be seamless.
So where does the uneasiness in my heart come from?
It's weird.
Xie Zhou felt as if his head was about to explode, and he immediately panicked.
Now was not the time for him to worry about that.
When there is not much spiritual energy left in his body, not seizing the time to recover the spiritual energy, but thinking about these messy things, is not conducive to his cultivation, and it is even easy to go mad.
Xie Zhou took a deep breath, meditated first, and no longer cared about the things around him.
And Lao Wu on the side saw this scene and was a little sluggish.
What Xie Zhou said just now was to move as fast as possible and return to the station.
Therefore, according to his understanding, they didn't have anything to bring anyway, at most they went to check the situation of the escape of the beasts, and then they could leave immediately and return to the station.
But what he didn't expect was that Xie Zhou just sat down and meditated.
But.
Lao Wu can still understand.
After all, the consumption of the arrangement formation is too large, and Xie Zhou has fallen into a weak state, and it is also appropriate to recuperate for a while.
Then he went to greet the rest of the people first, packed his bags, and left immediately when Lao Xie was together.
He turned around, faced the expectant eyes of everyone, beckoned, and said, "Lao Xie's formation here has been successfully arranged, but his consumption is a bit large, so he needs to recuperate and rest."
Let's pack up our things earlier, prepare to go home, and hand over the task, according to Lao Xie's words, we have to leave as soon as possible, probably when his pranayama is completed, let's go. ”
Lao Wu summed up what Xie Zhou said to him, and then explained to the people on the side.
Qin Luo glanced at Xie Zhou, who was meditating and pranayama in place, and then pulled the side to ask for peace, signaling to their original stationing point in the distance.
Qiu An immediately understood, raised his head and pointed to the northeast and said, "Old Wu, we still have something over there, go there to get the things first, and then come back to meet you later." ”
"Go, go, go." Lao Wu answered, indicating that he knew this time, and then he began to pack his things.
After being informed, Qin Luo and Qiu An left the center of the Dao Alliance and headed into the distance.
Probably walked out for five or six miles, and in this position, Qin Luo transmitted the sound towards Qiu'an, and it was very difficult for the Jindan Realm monk to eavesdrop on it.
So Qin Luo said with confidence: "Now that the formation arranged by Xie Zhou has been completed, it is basically nonsense for the Lingzhou beast group to want to leave on a large scale.
So what we had been worried about before was finally relieved.
It's just that the problem to deal with now is their group of people. ”
Qin Luo looked ahead, his expression calm, so that people couldn't see any fluctuations.
"If you do it, these two days may be the easiest time." Qiu An thought for a moment and said, "Then when Xie Zhou was in the formation just now, the aura in his body was almost empty, which can be regarded as a minor injury. ”
Qin Luo continued: "This doesn't affect anything. Anyway, if your Uncle Bai makes a move, the other party will have one more person and one less person, in fact, it will be the same. ”
After all, Bai Zheng's strength is more than one grade higher than these Jindan realms, and for them, it can basically be called crushing.
Even if they were side by side, the threat posed to Bai Zheng was basically none.
Qiu An was stunned and said thoughtfully: "This ...... It also seems to make some sense. ”
The two talked all the way, and they came to the place where they had a fire.
The wood used to make the fire was completely blackened char, and the surrounding meadow, bare, was scorched in a small circle, and the green grass, which had been verdant, lay dry and lodging.
After glancing around, Qiu An confirmed: "The last thing left here is only our breath, and there is no other people's breath, that is to say, no one has come here to snoop." ”
"That'll do." Qin Luo was relieved, "Then put away the Red Monarch, and then I will call Senior Bai, and after discussing for a while, I will rush back to the original place." ”
"Okay."
Qiu An walked to the bushes, found the red king, looked at the demon beasts locked in the carriage, Qiu An thought for a moment, released it first, and put a ban under the original ground, locked it here.
Originally, they had promised these monsters.
If they don't resist and tell the truth, then they will try to spare their lives.
These demon beasts have behaved fairly docile for a few days, and it is not impossible to bring them back to the sect and let Xiaobai tame them when the time comes.
Qin Luo, on the other hand, stood still and took out the messenger that Bai Zheng gave him to use for contact.
"Senior Bai, everything is decided here, and you can close the net."
The next moment.
Bai Zheng sent back the news.
"Are you safe now? I am now more than two hundred miles away from you, and I can't rush back in time, so I need you to continue to follow those people from the Dao Alliance. ”
Qin Luo looked at the news that Bai Zheng had sent back, and couldn't help but be stunned.
Things seem to have changed.
You have to know that according to the original plan.
Bai Zheng would not leave the range of the herd at all.
Even the farthest end of Lingxiu City in the beast herd was only more than thirty miles.
At such a distance, according to Bai Zheng's speed, it will take about ten minutes to arrive.
Therefore, this distance can be said to be able to support Qin Luo and them at any time and ensure Qin Luo's safety.
But now the distance between Bai Zheng and them has suddenly become more than two hundred miles.
If Bai Zheng wants to rush over, I'm afraid it will take half an hour.
In this way, they can't clash with the Dao Alliance at this time.
After thinking for a few seconds, Qin Luo continued to pass the word.
"Got it, it's just Senior Bai, can you rush back as soon as possible, I'll try to tell you their exact location as much as possible, because they won't stay here for long, and they will be returning to the Dao Alliance's station soon."
This time, Bai Zheng only replied after a dozen breaths.
"I'm here to catch a Dao Alliance man, and he doesn't know how to notice my presence.
This man has a lot of research in the field of stealth, and he can fool my consciousness from time to time, and I can't attack on a large scale now, and that fighting method will even alarm your people.
But don't worry, this man will run for another hour at most. ”
Qin Luo frowned.
In Bai Zheng's words, there is a lot of information revealed.
And it can be regarded as a reminder to him, the actions of those people in the Dao Alliance do not seem to be completely according to their own plans.
After taking a deep breath, Qin Luo passed over the last words he had to say.
Then he turned his head and looked at Qiu An, who came over happily, and said calmly: "We may have to wait in those people in the Dao Alliance, Senior Bai's current position is a little far away from us, and he can't come over in time." ”
"Huh?" was originally excited to ask for peace, but suddenly looked a little flustered.
It's just that he looked at Qin Luo's calm eyes, and gradually felt at ease.
After the atmosphere in the air was cold for a moment, Qiu An asked in a low voice, "Didn't Uncle Bai originally say that he was in the position of the beast herd.
If he can't come over now, will we have to stay in those people in the Dao Alliance for a long time? ”
Qin Luo looked at his nervous appearance, smiled, and comforted: "It's okay, what Uncle Bai is dealing with now seems to be that some of those people in the Dao Alliance left suddenly."
We may be suspicious now, but as long as we keep the same situation, they won't do anything to us. ”
Looking at Lingxiu City in the distance, Qin Luo beckoned and said, "Now let's go back first, if we stay outside for too long, it will still arouse their suspicion." ”
"Okay." Qiu An sighed, and then had to cheer up.
For him, getting this information from Qin Luo's mouth still made him a little discouraged.
Originally, he thought that he could be liberated and didn't have to act in front of those people in the Dao Alliance.
Then he watched Uncle Bai slaughter all directions, arrest these Dao Alliance people one by one, torture them fiercely when the time came, and ask for the information in their mouths.
Merely.
It seemed that it was a little later, and Uncle Bai was entangled by a sudden accident, so that he and Brother Yu had to face those people in the Dao Alliance again.
But acting is really tiring!
Qiu An silently and Qin Luo kept complaining in their hearts on the way to Lingxiu City.
……
Xie Zhou absorbed the aura from the outside world, and after running in his body for a week, he slowly opened his eyes.
Although the aura in his body is far from returning to its peak state, it is still enough to support his actions.
Glancing around, Xie Zhou found that the two "outsiders" were gone.
Suddenly.
His heart tightened.
If those two were enemies, and there was foreign help, he wouldn't even have the hostages at hand.
So he stood up and said sharply, "Where did those two go, and which of you saw it?" ”
"Eh, thank you?" When Lao Wu heard this, he turned his head, "Those two went to the place where they stayed before to pick up something, and they walked for about a quarter of an hour, what's wrong?" ”
"A quarter of an hour." Xie Zhou said, "If you chase it now, it's still too late." ”
"What?" When Lao Wu heard this, he was a little confused.
And he is not the only one who is confused, and the rest of the Dao Alliance are also a little unclear when they hear Xie Zhou's words.
It's just that as soon as Xie Zhou's words fell, two small black dots appeared in the sky in the distance.
Qin Luo and Qiu An came over chatting and laughing.
