() In the narrow rock valley, the "Sanhua Gathering Peak" team is confronting a large number of black flying squirrels in the mountains.

Although the black flying squirrel is small, it can't hold too many of them, and its claws can actually compete with the magic knife and the fairy sword, and its tenacity can be seen.

Being in such a dangerous situation, several people were a little panicked, and they couldn't think of any good countermeasures in their minds for a while.

After the rat swarm from the direction of the retreat set up a formation and formed a complete encirclement, a vicious battle was about to break out.

Hearing only a strange "hiss-" sound, there were immediately responses from all over the rat group, it turned out that Xiao Tianhe mistakenly thought it was the sound of the wind, but it was actually the rat king who was giving orders to the rat group! But there were more than a dozen "hiss" sounds, could it be that there were more than a dozen rat kings?

The current situation no longer allows a few people to think about it, and the rat group has begun to attack under the urging of the rat king.

The first to attack was the black flying squirrel on both sides of the rock valley, which, unlike bats, could not fly diaphragm, but could glide with the momentum. I saw a cloud of black shadows falling from the sky like snowflakes, attacking the four of them from various angles. If you are scratched on the top of your head by a claw that is not comparable to a blade, it is estimated that you can scratch through the skull in a few clicks. So the four of them immediately made a decision, and after slightly separating to make space, they raised the magic knife and fairy sword above their heads and waved it.

The top of the head was protected, but the trouble came again, some of the flying squirrels that fell from the sky continued to attack the top of several people's heads, fighting with weapons, and the other part turned to staring at the wrists of several people, taking advantage of the gap that exposed the flaws to grab a claw, and some actually circled down, avoiding the edge of the weapon, and attacked the chests and waists of several people from a low altitude, and even a few "lucky" black flying squirrels drilled through the gap where the weapon was waved and landed in the middle of several people!

Don't forget, there are still a large number of black flying squirrels lying on the ground that have not moved!

In the chaos, there were a few more "hissing" screams, and the front and rear rats jumped up with their powerful hind limbs, as if attacking the legs and feet of the four people in a routine.

It is not an exaggeration to say that this scene is "an enemy from all sides".

If you protect your body, you can't take care of the top of your head, and if you protect the top of your head, you can't see your feet, for several beginner cultivators, this rock valley can be described as a "rat prison". Soon, the four of them hung up their colors, and their bodies were full of wounds cut by sharp claws, although they didn't bleed much, but they hurt their hearts. Fortunately, the black flying squirrel claws are not poisonous, otherwise I am afraid that several people would have died in the belly of the rat.

But in such a predicament, they can't last long, and they have to come up with a countermeasure immediately.

The shrewd rat swarm did not attack immediately at first, just to form a complete encirclement and leave a few people with no way to escape. Even if you can use your body to break out of a certain distance, judging from the range of the rats, it is estimated that you will have to fall halfway before you can get rid of it.

If you want to fight, you have to deal with attacks from the front, back, left, right, and even overhead, and you may not be able to keep yourself busy with eight hands. It's hard to defend, so how can you attack?

If you can't come up with a strange solution, you can only sit back and wait.

"Everyone, hold your breath!" Fan Lingyun suddenly shouted.

Xiao Tianhe glanced at it, her left hand was holding a vial, this was to release poison!

To deal with this kind of "enemy" in a large area, large-scale poisoning is the most effective way to drive away the enemy, but poison is such a thing, ordinary people do not often carry it on their bodies, not to mention that Fan Lingyun does not have a magic weapon for storage. At the critical moment, she happened to carry a bottle of poison, if it wasn't for her foresight to prepare it in advance, it would have been the luck of the "Three Flowers Gathering Peak" team, which was really a blessing in misfortune!

Fan Lingyun directly slammed the poison bottle on the ground under his feet, and smashed it on the top of a black flying squirrel that grabbed his ankle, and actually knocked it unconscious. Fan Lingyun made up for it again, not only crushing the head of the black flying squirrel, but also breaking the poison bottle, and a puff of lilac smoke rose from the debris and quickly spread.

The black flying squirrels that touched the purple smoke first fell to the ground with black blood one after another, and the rats behind seemed to realize that something was wrong and retreated one after another, trying to get rid of the purple smoke wafting in. But the rats that came up behind didn't know what was going on in front of them, so they still struggled to squeeze forward, and soon, they squeezed out a "hurdle" in the middle, and the higher and higher the base, countless black flying squirrels were not poisoned by purple smoke, but trampled to death by their companions.

When the purple smoke arrived, the group of black flying squirrels that were crowded together was wiped out, until the last black flying squirrel at the top was out of breath, and the dead bodies were piled up into a hill several feet high!

There is a pile of rat corpses on each side of the corner, temporarily blocking the attack of the black flying squirrel swarm in both directions, and the corner space where the "Sanhua Gathering" team is located is temporarily safe.

"Hurry up and heal!" Fan Lingyun instructed, threw Xiao Tianhe a vial, took out the other two vials, uncorked the bottles, and threw them behind the two mouses. Undoubtedly, those two bottles were also poisonous.

This is the first time that Xiao Tianhe, the poison of the Yu Yu Realm, has encountered it, and it is really very poisonous, although he held his breath, his eyes were still burned to tears. The face, neck, hands and other places that are not covered by clothing feel hot, dry and itchy, with red blood spots slightly. The place where the black flying squirrel had been scratched before was even more painful, as if a handful of salt had been sprinkled on the wound.

Xiao Tianhe opened the vial thrown by Fan Lingyun and poured out several earthy yellow pills, no need to ask, it must be an antidote. He took one pill, and the pill melted in his mouth, turning into a cool stream flowing into his body along his throat, and soon the coolness spread to his limbs, his skin no longer felt burning, the blood spots disappeared immediately, and his eyes were much more comfortable, and he couldn't even feel the pain in his wounds.

Xiao Tianhe hurriedly divided one between Ye Linglong and Su Ziyi, and their eyes were red and swollen like peaches, leaving only a thin slit and full of tears.

The four of them breathed a sigh of relief. Everyone, look at me, I look at you, and the danger just now is still the same

I have palpitations.

"It's really unlucky, I was almost gnawed by rats!" Fan Lingyun shook his head and sighed.

Ye Linglong said: "That's not an ordinary mouse. It's unheard of for a large group of demon rats to be led by several rat kings! Or are several of them gathering in groups and then dividing up and working together? It's terrifying!"

"Have you ever seen the location of the Rat King?" asked Su Ziyi.

Besides, there are too many black flying squirrels, even if you follow the sound to find it, you may not be able to see it clearly. Fan Lingyun said.

"Thanks to you for carrying the poison and saving our lives. Xiao Tianhe, "Did you anticipate that poison energy would come in handy?"

Fan Lingyun waved his hand: "Where, I didn't know that there were such a large group of demon beasts in the 'fatal' forest, in my opinion, the demon clan here should be one of the few but very powerful human forms, I don't want to be the demon beast twice in just a few days." As for the poison, it's purely my personal hobby. For a poison refiner, how can it be justified not to carry a few bottles of poison with him?"

"Poison refiner!" Ye Linglong and Su Ziyi snorted in unison, looking at Fan Lingyun in surprise.

Fan Lingyun scratched his head, a little embarrassed: "Don't be so surprised, heh, I don't harm people at will, and I don't kill easily, I'm a good poison refiner." ”

"Indeed, there are good poison refiners, we believe in you. It's just that poison refiners are not common, not to mention that it is a young girl, so she is naturally surprised. Ye Linglong smiled.

Xiao Tianhe was puzzled: "Listen to what you mean, most of the poison refiners are bad people?"

Fan Lingyun nodded: "Indeed." In the eyes of almost everyone, this kind of thing is an evil thing, but if they can outperform their opponents in an open and honest manner, who will use poison? It is precisely a group of people with mediocre strength, who are greedy and have unscrupulous intentions, who have chosen the next three indiscriminate tricks of refining poison and harming people, and have completely ruined the reputation of the way of refining poison. However, there are also a small number of people who refine poison not to harm others, but for other uses. I was one of them. ”

"In fact, there is no good or bad in the world's skills, depending on the user's heart. If you use it for the good way, you will be a good person, and if you use it for the evil way, you will be a bad person. This has nothing to do with the craft itself. Ye Linglong said.

Su Ziyi also agreed: "What you say is extremely true. As long as poison refining is used in the right way, there should be no discrimination. ”

"What is the 'Three Paths and Six Elements'?" "Tu Lao Mao'er" Xiao Tianhe asked without losing any time.

Fan Lingyun glanced at him with a smile and explained in detail: "The three paths, 'casting', 'refining', and 'making', each of which is divided into two lines. Casting is divided into 'casting' and 'casting treasure', refining is divided into 'refining poison' and 'refining medicine', and system is divided into 'talisman' and 'array'. As the so-called 'craftsman' produces items, 'stay' produces consumables, and 'master' produces works, so the people who are crowned with the three realms are called 'casting craftsmen', 'alchemy masters', and 'masters of making laws'. But before it became an art, it was called 'who'. I am a poison refiner who explores the mysteries of poison. ”

"Poison refining and medicine refining are also part of alchemy?" Xiao Tianhe was very surprised, because in the Great Red Realm, these were clearly two completely different realms.

"Of course, the finished product of alchemy is either poison or medicine, and if it is not medicine, it is poison, and there is always someone who will work hard to refine a useless 'pill', right?" Fan Lingyun replied.

If you think about it carefully, "poison" is for hurting the enemy, and "medicine" is for self-interest. The so-called "Dan" is really nothing more than these two effects. It seems that in the Yuyu realm, the meanings of "poison" and "medicine" are much broader than those of the Great Red Realm.

What do the "talismans" and "arrays" of the way of "making the law" mean? Xiao Tianhe was about to continue to ask a question, but suddenly heard the sound of the rat kings' "hiss-" from behind the pile of black flying squirrel corpses.

Fan Lingyun's face changed suddenly, and he quickly got up: "It's not good, I didn't expect the poison resistance of the chiseled black flying squirrel to be so strong, and it hasn't escaped far!

"Then hurry up and sprinkle two more bottles of poison!" Xiao Tianhe looked very calm, in his mind, there was a poison refiner here, what else was he afraid of?

Fan Lingyun couldn't cry or laugh: "Do you think I can refine poison anytime and anywhere?" 'Purple Smoke Disperses' I brought those three bottles and scattered them!"

Hearing Fan Lingyun say this, Xiao Tianhe and Su Ziyi immediately became nervous and put on a posture to meet the enemy. Su Ziyi asked, "Miss Fan, apart from 'Purple Smoke Disperse', do you have any other poisons that can repel rats?"

"Yes. Fan Lingyun nodded.

Xiao Tianhe suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: "Don't say it earlier...... If you don't have 'Purple Smoke', you can use anything else!

Fan Lingyun took out a medicine bottle and threw it to Xiao Tianhe, and said angrily: "'Black Blood Pill', you can find a way to let the black flying squirrel eat it!"

Xiao Tianhe was dumbfounded, it turned out to be oral poison. Not to mention that the black flying squirrel won't eat it at all, even if it rushes to eat, this small bottle is a drop in the bucket, and it won't help at all! It seems that the second fierce battle is inevitable. Without the help of poisonous smoke, how would the four of them deal with the army of black flying squirrels?

"Don't panic, I have a solution. Ye Linglong, who hadn't spoken for a long time, stood up, flipped his palm, and several jewel-like shiny things appeared in his palm.

Fan Lingyun's eyes lit up: "Array maker!"

Ye Linglong smiled slightly, walked around the edge of the space surrounded by the corner of the rock valley and the pile of rat corpses, and calmly set up a magic circle before the black flying squirrel attacked again.

"This is a small compound formation composed of a strong defensive formation and a light offensive formation, although it is not powerful, but it is enough to pay the black flying squirrel. Ye Linglong said lightly.

After listening to Ye Linglong's narration, Xiao Tianhe couldn't help but recall the classification of formations that Nangong Ting had once described. According to the efficacy, it is divided into: attack, defense, confusion, illusion, and auxiliary

According to the range, it is divided into: small, medium, large, and huge, according to the intensity, it is divided into: feather, light, strong, fierce, and violent, and according to the difficulty, it is divided into simple, complex, overlapping, complex, and chaotic.

The formation that Ye Linglong laid out was a compound formation of strong defense and light attack, she was a junior cultivator, and she was already a formation master when she laid out this kind of formation. Xiao Tianhe also understood at this time what Fan Lingyun meant by "making arrays" before.

"I can't see it, Miss Ye is proficient in this skill. Although there are many array makers, there are very few masters of this path, and they are even rarer than poison refiners. Ha, with you, the problem of the black flying squirrel has been solved!" Fan Lingyun obviously knows what it means to have a strong defensive formation, and with only a few black flying squirrels, I am afraid it will be difficult to connect with a few people.

Ye Linglong smiled shyly: "Where, the carving insect skill is not enough to worry about the teeth." If it weren't for Miss Fan's 'Purple Smoke Dispersion' that saved our lives and won precious time, how could I have been able to lay down the magic circle so calmly? Besides, this magic circle can only keep us safe, and the light attack array is only to scare and scare the group of black flying squirrels, and also to give out evil qi for us, but it is impossible to exterminate them. Let's hope they won't be able to attack for a long time and will soon lose patience and retreat! Otherwise, we will be trapped here for a long time, and we will not want to pass the tournament. ”

As soon as the words fell, Su Ziyi pointed to the top of the pile of rat corpses and shouted, "Look, they are attacking!"

A few people followed the direction, and the pile of rat corpses was trembling slightly, and it was obvious that a black flying squirrel had climbed up on the back. Soon, the top of the pile of corpses revealed the terrifying long claws of the black flying squirrel. At this time, the purple smoke had not yet dissipated, and many black flying squirrels struggled to climb to the top before they whimpered, rolling down the near side of the corpse pile and falling within the range of the magic circle.

Suddenly, the Dao Dao flames shot out like corpses, and in a moment they burned to ashes, and the smell of burnt smoke and the smell of barbecued meat rose at the same time. Everyone was staring nervously at the pile of rat corpses, but a crisp "grunt" suddenly sounded in their ears.

It was clearly the sound of swallowing saliva! And it was very loud! The three girls turned their heads to look at Xiao Tianhe in unison, and their expressions were very exciting. Xiao Tianhe scratched his ears embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I'm greedy." ”

"Hahaha!" the girls burst into a hearty laugh, as melodious as silver bells, reverberating back and forth between the narrow rock valleys. Xiao Tianhe also felt funny, and followed the fun stupidly.

When I looked at the pile of rat corpses again, a group of black flying squirrels had already crossed the top of the pile, swarming down like a fierce "rat" coming down the mountain, and it seemed that the purple smoke had dispersed and sucked up.

The black flying squirrel swarm seemed unstoppable, but it was like hitting a wall. The strong defensive array laid by Ye Linglong was an inaccessible "barrier" formation, similar to the Qinglong Continent's Sect Protector Array, and the black flying squirrel couldn't squeeze in at all.

The offensive of the black flying squirrel army came to an abrupt end at the bottom of the pile of rat corpses, and the black flying squirrels behind were still swarming downward, and the black flying squirrels in front naturally suffered, in addition to being burned to death by the light attack array, there were countless people who died due to trampling. Soon, a new pile of rat corpses was piled up, and it quickly merged with the previous one.

The "barrier" of the defensive array is an arc-shaped "cover", when the pile of rat corpses accumulates to a certain height, the subsequent black flying squirrels climb to the top of the defensive array, which will not be burned by the attacking array, and the casualties of the rat group finally stop.

The black flying squirrels that climbed on top of the hood looked even more frenetic, they knew that the target was below, but they couldn't get down, so they scratched and bit at the shield, but the fact was that they were busy in vain and bit a mouthful of air.

The "Sanhua Gathering" team watched the excitement in the hood, not to mention the feeling of "Ren Er scratching his ears and cheeks, but he couldn't help it". As more and more black flying squirrels climbed to the top of the hood, the light was gradually obscured, and the hood became darker and darker, until it became pitch black.

Now, the feeling of the four people is not as good as the first. Ye Linglong lit a pile of firewood, but there were black furs and sharp claws all over the place, which was terrifying.

"Rest assured, my circle is absolutely safe. Let's meditate and wait for the rats to recede. Ye Linglong cheered up her companions.

It's time to be patient with the black flying squirrels. More precisely, it is more patient than the few rat kings who have not shown up.

However, no one can say exactly when the rat colony will recede. If you trap four people for a month or two, then the evaluation competition will be in vain. What's worse is that this is the Yaoming Forest of the Zongpiao Realm, and it is almost impossible for anyone to save it. If the rats "settle down" here, that's the end of it.

"No, no. All four of them meditated in their hearts, and with the hope of luck, they each began the most disturbing meditation of their lives.

Day and night alternate outside, but inside the circle is always "night". In order to save firewood, Ye Linglong did not add firewood to the bonfire. After struggling for an hour, the flickering flame finally spat out the last wisp of green smoke and extinguished it.

Firewood smoke is no better than poisonous smoke, and the black flying squirrel certainly doesn't care, still crowded on the top of the hood.

One day, two days...... In the end, I don't know how long it took, but the four people in the cover finally heard the long-lost "hiss-", and after being silent for so long, the Rat King finally gave the order again!

Are the rats about to retreat? The four of them opened their eyes with ardent hope, and were delighted to see the black flying squirrels on the top of the hood quickly evacuate, and the light was sprinkled again, and the sky was clear again!

But before everyone could get up, Xiao Tianhe suddenly roared: "Ah——!" Then he jumped up and fell to the side, moaning loudly while rolling his body.

What happened? Did a black flying squirrel attack the defenses?

"Impossible!" Ye Linglong muttered in a low voice, of course Fan Lingyun and Su Ziyi knew what she was worried about, and the three girls hurriedly scanned the surroundings and found no trace of the black flying squirrels. It's really evil!
