Chapter 102 - Hurricane Circle
During the march of more than ten days, the team encountered many attacks from red ants, but they were all small-scale red ants, and they were all exterminated by these monks.
On this day, the procession stopped in front of an inconspicuous sand dune, and the Taoist master with the compass in his hand played several tricks on the compass, and finally confirmed it several times, and determined that the end of the trip was here, that is, this sand dune.
Everyone was a little puzzled, this sand dune was no different from the countless sand dunes they had walked through, and they couldn't see anything special at all.
At this time, Luo Qi walked out of the beast cart, and after a few words with the Taoist leader, he ordered these Taoist monks to start casting spells and arranging formations.
Lin Yang looked at these people of the Pure Void Taoist Temple, and arranged a large array very skillfully, the array flags and arrays in their hands were flying, some disappeared into the sand, and some were beaten into the void.
At this time, Wei Daozhi walked to Lin Yang's side, and his lips moved slightly to make a sound.
"Lin Daoyou, I have already taken the Blood Bone Pill of the Snow Mountain Silver Mink, the medicinal effect can last for three months, this time everything is subject to the arrangement of Daoyou. ”
Lin Yang also moved his lips slightly, and made a sound.
"Wei Daoyou, this should be a passage into the crimson ant nest, and it should be more dangerous than we imagined.
When the time comes, the Taoist friends will finally be within my ten zhang, and if there are special circumstances, we can still take care of each other. ”
Wei Daozhi nodded slightly after hearing this.
Since this half a month, he found that although Lin Yang's cultivation was not high, his mana was not high and was below him.
Every time he was in charge of the team's duty, his mana was almost exhausted, and Lin Yang just killed the red ants lightly, and the mana in his body was almost always full.
Not only that, but this person's magic weapon also crushed the rest of the people, and the red ant that was killed was also the one with the most.
The Immortal Cultivation Realm respects the strong, and in this way, what Lin Yang said has invisibly added a lot of weight in Wei Daozhi's heart.
After a full time of tea, a magic circle with a radius of dozens of zhang was completed.
At this time, several monks of the Qingxu Taoist Temple embedded several spirit stones into the eyes of the array, and the Taoist priest holding the compass activated the formation.
Seeing that there was a formation card suspended in front of this Taoist priest, this person hit the formation plate with a magic trick.
"Boom!"
There was a crisp sound from the array.
Then, the light curtain of the circle flashed, and there was a "boom, boom" sound.
As the sound continued, the light curtain also shook constantly, and finally a pillar of wind erupted from the middle of the light curtain, heading straight into the sky.
Then, the Taoist who was holding the array card, after pointing a few times on the array card, the wind pillar began to shift in one direction, forming a semicircular wind pillar with a diameter of 100 zhang.
Lin Yang saw very clearly, there was some sand in the wind pillar, and he saw that this sand dune with a radius of dozens of zhang was shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it didn't take much time to reveal a swarthy hole.
The circle did not stop, but continued to pump out the sand from the cave entrance.
These foreign monks here had never seen such a magic circle before, and they all had shocked expressions on their faces.
As an immortal cultivator, most of the ones they saw were cave magic arrays, which also belonged to defensive magic arrays, and there were also some trapped formations, phantom formations, and killing formations.
This kind of magic circle that uses the power of the formation to extract the sand and soil is the first time they have seen it.
This method of extracting sand and soil is indeed efficient, and in just one stick of incense, a huge sand dune is formed outside a hundred zhang.
At this time, Luo Qi saw that everyone was surprised, a smug smile appeared on his face, and he explained: "This magic circle is called the Hurricane Array, and it is evolved from my Taoist Temple based on the Hurricane Killing Array.
The circle reduces the lethality of the circle, increases the hurricane strength of the circle, and adjusts the direction of the sand extraction through the array disk.
In this way, the sand in the circle is extracted by the force of the hurricane, which is many times more efficient than the monk casting spells. ”
Sure enough, after another stick of incense, the sand sucked out by the wind pillar in the circle began to gradually decrease.
Ten breaths later, as the sound of "boom, boom" disappeared, the pillar of light of the magic circle also disappeared.
At this time, the Dao Master holding the array plate said to Luo Qi: "Uncle Luo, the sand and soil in the crypt here have been cleared, please ask Uncle Luo for instructions." ”
After hearing this, Luo Qi nodded, and said to these monks and Taoist priests: "Fellow Daoists, this is an entrance to the crimson ant nest, and I have left four Daoists to guard the magic circle at the entrance of the cave to prevent the entrance of the cave from being buried by the wind and sand.
The passages below are intertwined, criss-crossed, and there are many forks in the road, so you must listen to my arrangement to avoid getting lost.
Although there are still some red ants inside, they are all young red ants, and they have almost no combat power, and if it goes well, the task can be completed in three days. ”
Seeing that everyone was silent, Luo Qi nodded, and then issued an order.
"Let's go. ”
After speaking, Luo Qi raised his leg and walked into the circle first, and then the monk of the Qingxu Taoist Temple followed Luo Qi into the circle.
After glancing at each other, these foreign monks recruited by the Qingxu Taoist Temple also walked into the light curtain of the magic circle.
At this moment, the sand dunes in the circle had disappeared, and a swarthy passage entrance appeared.
The entrance is two zhang wide, all paved with bluestone, and winds down without seeing the end.
A few monks with moonstones in their hands walked in front, and everyone followed behind, and walked down for a full meal, and came to the end of the passage.
Lin Yang made a rough calculation, and it was three hundred zhang deep from the ground.
The temperature in the tunnel is obviously much lower, and the passage here is only more than one person high, and it can accommodate two people side by side, and there are some hard rock and soil underfoot.
The passage is not very smooth, the road is potholed, some dark and damp, and sometimes some water droplets drip down from the top of the passage.
After walking out of more than 100 zhang, two identical passages appeared in front of him.
Luo Qi had an extra compass in his hand at this time, and after identifying the direction, he chose one of the passages to enter.
In this way, every time you walk for a while, there will be a fork in the road, and sometimes there will be a three-way intersection and a four-way intersection, and Luo Qi will use a compass to identify the direction and choose one of the passages to travel.
After passing through dozens of such intersections, a red ant suddenly appeared, and a monk waved his sword and cut the red ant in two.
After having the first red ant, there were more red ants encountered later, and these people waved the magic weapons in their hands to kill these red ants.
As you move forward, there are more and more red ants in front of you, and your travel speed is getting slower and slower.
Later, most of the narrow passage was occupied by red ants, and after killing one batch, another batch poured out of it, as if it were endless.
After Luo Qi saw this scene, he also frowned, it is definitely not a way to go on like this, the passage is too narrow, and the more than twenty monks here can't use their respective spells and magical powers at all.
If you continue like this, you can't move forward at all.
So, Luo Qi took out three compasses from the storage bag and handed them to the three monks of the Qingxu Taoist Temple, who divided the monks in the passage into four teams.
Each team marched forward from a different passage, which worked, scattering the ants and killing them at the same time as the team continued to move forward.
Lin Yang, Wei Daozhi and several other monks were in a team, and the red ants that poured out were all killed by several people.
Through his contact with red ants these days, Lin Yang also found a problem.
There are two distinct types of ants, one that is red all over, and one that is also red but has a black line on its abdomen.
These two kinds of red ants are red ants that belong to two battle groups.
When they meet, they will bite each other until one bites the other to death.
After moving forward for a distance of 100 zhang, there were more and more red ants, and the two monks of the Qingxu Taoist Temple were a little unfazed, waving the magic weapon in their hands to kill these red ants.
However, Wei Daozhi and a big man in the team were a little distressed, along the way, they barely had any time to rest, killed countless red ants, and consumed more than half of the mana in their bodies.
And they haven't reached the end of this trip yet, they thought that the reward given by the Qingxu Taoist Temple was not low, and they could easily complete this treasure hunt task.
However, only now did they know that the difficulty of this mission was much greater than they imagined, and there was a danger of falling if they were not careful.
The big man with cheeks had been bitten by this red ant in many parts of his body, and was once surrounded by hundreds of red ants, and if it weren't for the help of other monks, he would probably be in danger of falling here.
Suddenly, a roar of a demon beast was heard, and the entire underground passage that shook was trembling.
Everyone stopped what they were doing, and the red ants in the passage no longer attacked these people, but crawled in one direction.
This was the voice of the demon beast, and the big man with cheeks also felt that the situation was wrong, and asked a Qingxu Taoist monk next to him, "Where is this inheritance?"
The roar just now was obviously made by a powerful demon beast.
Our mission is to help the Qingxu Taoist Temple find the lost inheritance, not to send them to death. ”
After hearing this, the monk smiled and retorted: "I don't know where the inheritance is, but since I have already come here, if the Taoist friend is afraid, he can leave on his own." ”
When the cheeky man heard this, he was displeased, he knew that he was leaving, not to mention that he couldn't find the exit, it was the red ant in the passage, and he couldn't deal with it himself.
So he snorted coldly and said no more.
