Chapter 19: The Beginning of the Battle

Yang Rui stood up and stretched, and handed the stack of rune paper full of runes to Zhang Lao, "Do you want to test it?"

"Hehe, no need, this first level is considered to have been successfully passed, and then I will talk to you about how to arrange the rune array. At an age like him, he could naturally see at a glance that all those runes were qualified.

Although he expected Yang Rui's talent to be good early on, he didn't expect it to reach such an amazing point, Zhang Laoxiao was taken aback, but it was quickly replaced by a happy mood!

"Strictly speaking, the application of the rune array is divided into two steps: 'cloth' and 'hair', and a few special rune arrays can also be 'transformed'. As he spoke, he casually took out three of the stacks of rune paper and held them in his hand, pointed his sword at the edge of his mouth, and then gently flicked it to three different directions beside him, and the three rune papers instantly ignited and turned into ashes, merging into the air.

"The formation needs to burn out the rune medium, so that the vitality runes in it are reintegrated into the air, the higher the quality of the medium, the greater the stored rune energy, and of course, the existence time and power of the rune array will also increase. Zhang Lao said lightly.

"Ahem, yes, that...... How did the rune paper burn in the air just now?" Although Yang Rui was smart, he didn't see much from Zhang Lao's flowing movements just now, he only felt that the rune paper seemed to be covered by a thin layer of alternative energy fluctuations, and after reaching the designated place, it suddenly spontaneously combusted, instantly burning the rune paper into ashes.

"Oh, I forgot to say it, hehe, that is karmic fire, which exists under everyone's dantian, but ordinary people don't know it. ”

"Today's runic array masters only know how to use ordinary open flames, or strange fires in nature, to burn the medium, but they don't know that they can condense this karmic fire in their bodies. Zhang Lao snorted twice with a little disdain when he said this, "Those open flames are not only inefficient, but they can only burn physical objects, so now few people can break through the shackles of the seventh level and reach the level of the eighth level rune array master." ”

Yang Rui nodded, savoring the fluctuations he had seen on the rune paper just now.

"After the medium is burned out, the vitality runes that melt into the air can only last for a certain period of time before dissipating, depending on the quality of the medium and the efficiency of the flames. Zhang Lao picked up the gourd and poured it and continued.

"If the runes you draw on rune paper are arranged by burning with an open flame, they can last for a quarter of an hour at most, but now they are arranged with karmic fire, and they can probably last for an hour, and this is the difference. ”

At this time, a black spotted butterfly flew by, and Zhang Laojian pointed to his mouth and whispered, "Bind!"

I saw that a thin cyan thread suddenly appeared in the space around the butterfly, and it was tightly bound in place and unable to move.

Yang Rui looked at this scene excitedly and curiously, stepped forward to take a closer look, and saw that the butterfly was desperately struggling to fly away, but because it was trapped in this tight formation, it couldn't move at all, and finally had to give up. Pick the butterfly from the air and put it in your hand, and the butterfly can only stop there obediently.

"Solution!"

Zhang Lao pointed his sword to his lips again and whispered a spell, the filaments tied to the butterfly's body disappeared instantly, and the butterfly flapped its wings and quickly flew away from here.

"Generally, certain conditions are required to activate the formation, such as this 'Tight Binding Array', which requires the rune master and the opponent to enter the range of this rune array at the same time and recite the spell before it can be launched. Hehe, now the range of this rune array is less than a zhang, and if you face a strong enemy, you can't open up much distance, so at present, it can only be regarded as a first-level yellow order. ”

Yang Rui lowered his head and reflected on what he had just seen and heard, except for the fact that he didn't feel anything about karma, the rest was quite easy to understand, and it seemed that the rest was practice.

Zhang Lao took a sip of wine, looked at the desert outside the oasis for a moment, and said, "Do you want to try it right away?"

"Yes!" Yang Rui said, and he couldn't wait to take out the rune and start it.

"It's just there. Zhang Lao pointed to the desert outside and continued: "In the next time, you will use this 'tight binding array' to try to catch the fire rats in the desert, remember to be alive, and the dead will not count, hehe." ”

"That karma fire ......" Yang Rui suddenly thought of the point.

"The place where the mind arises is karmic fire, which is different from the vitality in that it does not come from the outside world, but is born in the body. As for what kind of fluctuation it is, you have seen it just now, and whether you can encounter it depends on fate. If you find that the karmic fire fluctuates, you can introduce it under the dantian to produce fire, and the karmic fire is born of the thought, the point of the heart, and you can do it by feeling, and there is no need to look inside. Hehe, but before that you do, use this first. As he spoke, Elder Zhang threw a fire fold over.

Yang Rui opened his mouth wide, thinking that if he dares to love, let me fend for myself, it is really a black-hearted old man.

The dark night of the Western Desert is always so beautiful, the stars converge into a silver river flowing quietly, the double moon hangs upside down on the canopy, and the plain earth under the moon is a little gray at this time.

In the darkness of the night, Yang Rui was standing on the edge of a steep cliff, intently observing a group of fire rats foraging in the river valley below. A pair of deep and vast eyes, the ancient well has no waves, which seems to reflect the stars in the sky, which makes people can't help but be immersed in it and can't extricate themselves.

The group of fire rats, taller than Yang Rui, glowed dark red all around them, their supple fur almost hanging to the ground, and they were gnawing at the huge dead wood scattered here and there in the river valley with their powerful front teeth. After more than a month of experience, Yang Rui can now easily find the traces of the fire rat.

Fire rats are a kind of alien beasts that live in groups, and generally do not act alone, Yang Rui has been following behind this group of fire rats for the past few days, waiting for the opportunity. The inheritance of the Singing Snake and the refining of the essence blood have strengthened his physique many times, and now he can easily keep up with the pace of the fire rat even without the bonus of vitality. Originating from the instinct of the beast, when Yang Rui was hunting, the breath around his body naturally converged, his breathing was slender and steady, his mind was focused, and his mind was free of distractions.

As early as a few days ago, when he had just left the oasis, Yang Rui successfully used the open flame to lay out the "Tight Binding Array" after several failed experiences. Although the action is much more jerky than that of Zhang Lao, and the time it takes to set up the formation is not short, after all, it is the first time to arrange the talisman array by himself, and such a result is also acceptable to Yang Rui.

As for the karmic fire, although he has been paying attention to the changes in his body, he has not found anything. It is estimated that it is not as simple as Old Man Zhang said, otherwise there would not be so few people who know the Tao. Maybe it really needs fate as he said, that is, character plus luck? After several fruitless explorations, Yang Rui simply stopped thinking about this problem and turned his attention completely to catching fire rats.

Helplessly, these fire rats living in groups are naturally very alert, and they immediately gather together and enter a state of alert at the slightest disturbance. It is obviously impossible to catch a fire rat alive from the front with the "tight binding array" that can only last for a quarter of an hour, so Yang Rui has been studying the migration law of the fire rat for the past few days, preparing to start on their way home.

"It's almost time. Yang Rui looked up at the white belly of the fish on the horizon, and the moment in the early morning was when the fire rat returned to its nest.

I saw him skillfully climb down the cliff, and a few strides came to the back of the river valley. With a shake of his hand, three pieces of rune paper appeared from the black ring, quickly ignited with a fire fold, and with a flick of his fingers, the burning rune paper suddenly flew away in three different directions. The rune paper just burned out at the designated position, and the rune broke away from the rune paper and melted into the air, and the action was skillful and just right, obviously this step Yang Rui repeated many times.

After setting up the formation, Yang Rui quickly flashed into a boulder that had been selected in advance, and just after hiding, he heard the "click" footsteps at the turn of the river valley. It didn't take long for a swarm of fire rats to rush this way!

This long and narrow river valley passage with the sun on the back is the only way for the fire rats to return to their nests in the early morning every day, and Yang Rui gathered all the breath on his body at this time, quietly watching the fire rats pass by him, waiting for the best time to attack. After a short time, when almost all the fire rats had passed through the river valley, the target that Yang Rui had been waiting for finally appeared, and a slope-footed fire rat that seemed to have been slightly injured appeared at the end of the rat group.

"Bondage!"

Yang Rui let out a long breath, quietly swept out the boulder, and suddenly appeared in front of the fire rat, pointing the sword to his lips with one hand and thinking lightly.

I saw that countless thin cyan threads immediately appeared in the air, binding the fire rat tightly and condensing it in place. The fire rat opened its mouth in horror and wanted to ask his companion for help, but Yang Rui clenched his fist, and several thin lines appeared out of thin air to wrap his mouth tightly.

But even so, Yang Rui's movements were still noticed by a few fire rats at the end, and a sharp warning sound sounded, and a large group of fire rats in front immediately stopped, although they were far away from the river valley, they still turned their heads and rushed back. This is the inevitable reaction of social alien beasts, one side suffers and the four sides support, otherwise they will not be able to maintain their numerical superiority, and they will only be eaten by other alien beast groups. However, if it is determined that a companion cannot be rescued, the target will be abandoned immediately, and this is the law of cruelty in this desert.

Yang Rui had already expected that it would not be possible to take away the loot very smoothly, so he calmly and quickly picked off the immobile fire rat, carried it on his shoulders and ran away, and ran towards the direction of the rising sun. I don't know if the space in the black ring can be put into a living thing, but at this moment, Yang Rui doesn't want to take a risk and waste the opportunity.

The group of fire rats was not slow to move, and soon rushed back to the river valley, and followed the taste of their companions in a frenzied pursuit. A chase began again, only to see a black spot in the desert valley, behind a black spot in the dust, a group of angry desert fire rats rushed forward desperately with red eyes. All they want is to tear apart the creature that invaded their territory.

"Bang, so fast!"

Because Yang Rui was carrying a giant rat, his speed and agility in this river valley were greatly reduced, and he was about to be caught up!
