Chapter 258: The Stinking Pond
If that's the case, then it's okay to move forward with the four of them, and maybe you can help somewhat, Xu You thought to himself.
"You're all very good, let's go. He said slightly, striding forward.
The four of them were stunned and looked at each other, what do you mean, neither say that you will adopt our opinions, nor will you come up with your own opinions, and just set off without being blind?
"Captain, what do you mean......" Guo Ling hesitated for a while, but still mustered up the courage to ask.
"I mean there's no need to divide the labor, I'm higher than you in the formation, so I'm responsible for deducing the formation changes, you just need to follow me and listen to my command. Xu You explained lightly.
He didn't say this to emphasize his management power, but since the second round of the competition was dominated by teams, and he planned to move forward with a few people, he naturally had to unify his command and increase the speed to the fastest.
Otherwise, letting them divide the labor to explore the path and deduce the formation changes will only waste valuable time.
Guo Ling and the four of them looked at each other and smiled bitterly, originally they wanted to perform well in front of the captain, but unfortunately Xu You didn't give them a chance.
But that's fine, as long as you follow Xu You, you don't need to use your brain, even if there are any mistakes, you don't have to be responsible, but it saves time and effort, so they all nodded and quickly followed.
Xu You didn't go straight forward, but picked a direction that was a little leaky, and his steps became faster and faster.
Lin Yongan saw that he walked without hesitation, although he had already decided to obey in his heart, he still couldn't help but doubt: "Captain, have you already measured the direction where Yutai is located? This road must be correct?"
Li Wei and the three of them also raised their heads, revealing the same puzzled gazes.
In their opinion, even if there is no division of labor, at least the direction should be determined at the initial position. It may even take a few more tests to get the right direction as much as possible.
Xu You didn't do anything, he just picked a direction and left, if it sounds good, it is called resolute and decisive, and if it is not good, it is to walk blindly, even if his formation attainments are high. If you can be much taller than yourself and others, you can't move forward without measuring your position.
If you lead the whole team into a trap because of this, you're in bad luck.
Xu You smiled faintly, if it was normal, he naturally didn't need to explain, but since he brought a few people, it was nothing to say a few words.
So he said: "Deliberately determining the location of the jade platform is complicating simple things. You must know that this formation is square-shaped. The initial position is at the edge of the formation, and it must be opposite the center of the formation, so just use the spiritual sense to ......"
Before he finished speaking, Guo Ling slapped his thigh excitedly: "Just use your spiritual sense to probe out the edge of the formation, and then walk straight in the opposite direction of the edge of the formation, it's too simple."
"Not bad. Xu You smiled slightly.
"It's so simple, why didn't you think of it?" Lin Songmei teased Guo Ling with a smile.
Guo Ling's face pale slightly, and he smirked twice.
Lin Yongan and Li Wei were stunned at the same time. They really didn't think of Xu You's method. And this method is really simple, effective and accurate.
If they follow their own methods, it is both measurement and temptation. Not to mention that it will delay a lot of time and energy, and the direction that you can get at the end may not be correct.
At this point, the two of them couldn't help but be more impressed by Xu You in their hearts, and their original doubts were dispelled.
In the blink of an eye, Team 1 had advanced hundreds of meters.
At this point, the vast majority of teams are still spinning in their starting positions. Either the team members are arguing with each other because of disagreement, or they are doing stupid and complex work in the direction of the Yutai.
There are only talented squads such as Lu Xinyan, Huo Zhengyang, Ye Xiu, and Ouyang Qiangfeng. It began to slowly move in the right direction, but it was a big step behind Team One.
The teams didn't know each other's situation in the battlefield formation, but they were clear at a glance on the silver light screen, and everyone in the stands couldn't help but marvel when they saw this.
This Xia Chen's junior performance is really dazzling.
Originally, everyone was not particularly optimistic about Xu You, although he won the first place in the first round of heart refining, but the heart refining road was only a test of the monk's Dao heart and potential, and the second round of the battlefield formation was a study of the real kung fu of the participating monks.
The potential is huge, but it only means that the possibility of future growth is greater than others, and it does not mean that it can also dominate in all aspects such as formation, experience, decision, cultivation and group cooperation.
What's more, Xu You is only at the peak of the early stage of the Soul Realm, which also makes people even less optimistic about him.
However, Xu Xian was amazed when he reached the initial position, and the audience was shocked, and when the battlefield competition officially began, he was one step ahead, leaving the other teams far behind, showing strong competitiveness.
It seems that the first place is the first place, not only has great potential, but also has strength, looking at this momentum, if nothing else, I am afraid to win the first place in the second round...... Everyone wanted to.
The scattered cultivators shouted even more enthusiastically, and regarded the back of the stands as a gathering place for Xu You's fans.
The guards of the Huo family no longer care about them, because they really can't manage it, as long as there is no chaos, let these crazy people toss.
Huo Jinglong looked at the silver light curtain, his face gloomy.
He didn't expect Xu You's formation attainments to be so superb, and his performance was even comparable to that of the top spiritual light realm disciples of the five major families.
It seems that the pre-game suppression not only did not have a corresponding effect, but made Xu You rebound sharply, looking at the performance of this junior, he obviously held a grudge and wanted to take revenge on his rhythm.
"Xia Chen, do you really think that I will only threaten you with words? ”
A sneer appeared on Huo Jinglong's face.
As Xu You and the others walked forward, although the battlefield formation had not yet launched an attack, the surrounding scenery began to change rapidly, just like the camera switch in a movie, obviously walking through a piece of land, but when he looked back, it suddenly turned into a forest.
After walking for thousands of meters, the initial position was gone, and when I turned around, I could only see a yellow desert.
Even if I want to go back now, I can't find the place I used to be.
Lin Yongan, Li Wei, Guo Ling, and Lin Songmei were all frightened, because Xu You's advance speed was so fast that they didn't have time to deduce the formation changes, so they walked into the depths of the formation illusion.
If Xu You left them behind at this moment, the four of them might not even be able to find the north.
There was no way, they could only follow Xu You closely, lest they fall behind and lose contact.
The five of them crossed a piece of high ground, and a pond with a radius of several hundred meters appeared in front of them.
The pond looked dirty, the water was extremely muddy, and the surface of the water was full of toad-like bubbles, large and small, and all sorts of disgusting floating objects, from which twisted aquatic insects were occasionally distorted.
More than ten meters away, a foul smell came from afar, and it was extremely strong.
Li Wei and Lin Songmei are female cultivators after all, and they like to be clean, so they immediately covered their mouths and noses, and Guo Ling and Lin Yongan also frowned.
Xu You didn't even hit a single one, and he didn't look at the well-paved bluestone ancient road, and went straight to the pond.
"Captain, are we going to enter this pond?" asked Li Wei in disbelief.
"Yes. Xu You didn't look back to the tunnel, nor did he explain, and plunged headlong into the filthy pool, as if there was a fragrant milk bath hot spring.
The four of them suddenly widened their eyes, if it weren't for Xu You's extreme respect, I'm afraid they would have thought that the captain was a madman, and specially took them to take a stinky bath to play.
Lin Yongan and Guo Ling are men after all, not to mention that as casual cultivators with rich experience, they naturally will not be afraid of a stinky pond, but after hesitating, they followed Xu You into the stinky pond.
Li Wei and Lin Songmei were bitter, and they were dumbfounded when they looked at each other. The smell of the stinky pond is already a torment, let alone entering it, but it really costs their own lives.
But seeing that Xu You and the three of them didn't mean to take care of them at all, and they didn't look back, but walked farther and farther, the two girls had no choice but to lay down their hearts, close their eyes and pinch their noses, and plunge into the stinky pond.
Before entering the stinky pond, the two women were still lucky, thinking that this was just a fantasy generated by the change of formation, even the smell was only a psychological effect, as long as it did not exist, it did not exist.
But after entering the stinky pond, the two girls found that this was a real stinky pond, without the slightest illusion, and the pungent stench was almost ten times stronger than on the shore.
Countless rotting dirt and disgusting floating objects floated down the current, as well as all kinds of disgusting insects, circling around the faces of the five people, and the sight of it made people's hearts hairy and disgusting and want to vomit.
The two girls almost fainted, if it wasn't for the fact that they couldn't speak, I was afraid that they would have scolded Xu You's ancestors for eighteen generations.
Even Lin Yongan and Guo Ling couldn't help muttering in their hearts, what kind of broken road is this.
Xu You didn't look back, and even under the stinky pond, his speed didn't slow down in the slightest.
However, he was still quite satisfied in his heart, he didn't explain anything, but Lin Yongan and the four of them still followed up without hesitation, obviously trusting him.
Especially Li Wei and Lin Songmei, being able to make such a choice in the shortest possible time is enough to prove their courage and impress Xu You. If you change to other nuns, you may choose to take the bluestone ancient road on the shore.
But if you do that, the formation attack will follow. The only safe place is this stinky pond, and if the participating monks choose the Bluestone Ancient Trail out of disgust, the price they pay will be far greater than enduring the temporary stench.
Boom Boom Boom ...... A deafening explosion suddenly sounded, and the pond fluctuated violently, as if an earthquake had occurred. Even if the five of them are walking underwater, they can feel the strong force of the shock.
What's going on...... Lin Yongan and the four of them reached out in surprise and looked out of the pond. (To be continued......)
