"Senior Brother Liu, why don't you enter the Spirit Gathering Array to refine your cultivation?" Seeing this, Jin Tianci walked over a few steps with a flash of his eyes, and asked lightly.

At this moment, there are only Liu Ming, Jin Tianci, and Qiu Longzi standing outside.

"Senior Brother Jin, do you really think it's okay to delay here?" Liu Ming didn't answer the question, but asked rhetorically.

"As you can see, the exploration of the ruins of the Upper Realm has just begun, and everyone has their own ideas, and if you force them to leave, I'm afraid that you will be reluctant to let them go. In that case, let them be left to bear for now. Jin Tianci's face flashed with coldness, but he said calmly.

Liu Ming nodded and didn't say anything more.

At this time, Jin Tianci's body moved, flew into the air, and took out an earthy yellow array plate and a stack of array flags with a wave of his hand.

As soon as his arm moved, more than a dozen array flags circled and flew outward, gently rotating around his body, while chanting the mantra in his mouth and waving his hands a few times.

A burst of earthy yellow light suddenly lit up on the many array flags, and they flew out in all directions in the sound of "whoosh" and "whoosh" breaking through the air.

Poof!

After the array flags trembled, they shot down one after another, inserting them on the ground outside the Spirit Gathering Array, and the yellow light was even connected, forming an elliptical shape, enclosing the entire Spirit Gathering Array in the middle, and then in a flash, they disappeared into the void one after another.

An earthy yellow mist began to rise around the valley.

Jin Tianci said something in his mouth, and the array disk in his hand suddenly shot out a white pillar of light, which disappeared into the yellow light in a flash.

The next moment, a yellow mist emerged. Soon the whole valley was protected in the middle.

"Thick Earth Formation!" Liu Ming's eyes flashed with surprise.

"Oh, Senior Brother Liu is also proficient in formations?" Qiu Longzi walked up to Liu Ming's side, revealing a look of surprise.

"I dare not say proficient. I've read some formation books before, and I've memorized a few of them. Liu Ming replied honestly.

Qiu Longzi nodded and did not continue to ask. After saying hello to Liu Ming, he didn't enter the Spirit Gathering Array, but flew to the high place of the valley and sat down cross-legged in a flash, and at the same time spread his divine sense, paying attention to the surrounding movements.

Jin Tianci was still busy around the valley, taking out sets of array flag arrays, and in the thick earth array, several sets of protective prohibitions were arranged.

Liu Ming quietly watched the two team leaders go about their business, a moment later. Finally, he also walked into the Spirit Gathering Array and sat down cross-legged.

He hadn't fully immersed himself in the cultivation state like the others, and with his current cultivation in the False Dan Stage, no matter how strong the aura here was, it wouldn't be of much use to him in just three days.

Compared to the Spirit Gathering Array under him, he valued these Spirit Gathering Stones more, and if he could get some, he wouldn't have too much. With only a hundred pieces, you can go back to the cave and set up a small spirit gathering array by yourself.

Of course, the effect must not be comparable to the one under your feet, but it will definitely be of some help to the future advanced impact on the bottleneck of the True Dan Realm.

Liu Ming thought so in his heart. Slowly transport the dragon and tiger hell skill. began to absorb the rich aura around him, but he also divided part of his divine sense, always paying attention to the movements around him.

The sky was getting darker. The ruins of the Upper Realm are also like the outside world, with the law of changing the stars day and night.

As night falls. All around him became dim and indistinct, and he could see it at a glance. Except for the mountains in the distance, which almost connected to the sky, it was almost impossible to see anything.

The small valley was also silent, only the aura vortex above the valley was still like those years in the past, spinning in the air, constantly absorbing the aura from all directions.

In the Spirit Gathering Array below the aura vortex, most of the disciples of the Taiqing Sect entered the meditation motionlessly, greedily absorbing the rich aura that filled the air.

At this moment, Liu Ming was holding a blue jade slip in his hand, and his divine sense invaded it, and his face showed a deep expression, as if he was contemplating something.

On a cliff outside the valley, Jin Tianci, dressed in a loose gold robe, was sitting cross-legged, his hands forming a magic seal in front of him, and his rhythmic breathing exhaled the abundant aura between heaven and earth.

After a while, Jin Tianci's eyelids moved, suddenly opened his eyes, and turned his head to look in a distant direction.

Dozens of miles away along its gaze, a large black cloud suddenly appeared, almost blending with the night, and a strange red light could be faintly seen in the cloud, with a buzzing sound, galloping towards the valley.

A layer of stars appeared in Jin Tianci's eyes, and after only two or three breaths, his face changed greatly, and he waved his hand to shoot out a golden light, which fell in the valley and exploded violently.

"There's a monster attacking!"

The sound echoed quickly through the valley with a thunderous roar.

There was an uproar in the Spirit Gathering Circle below, and the people who were meditating hurriedly opened their eyes one by one and stood up one after another.

At the same time, there were two more figures in the air, which were Liu Ming and Qiu Longzi.

Qiu Longzi had already collected his breath to less than half an inch away from his body at this moment, his eyes were like torches looking into the distance, his brows were frowning slightly, while Liu Ming put away the blue jade slip in his hand, and he also looked vigilant.

While everyone was immersed in cultivation, Qiu Longzi had been on guard in the valley, and Liu Ming had also separated his general divine sense to probe the movements around him, so as soon as the accident happened, the two of them reacted extremely quickly.

The figure flickered, and Jin Tianci's figure also appeared next to the two, but his face was extremely grim.

"Can you find out what kind of demon beast is coming?" a hint of fierceness flashed on Qi Longzi's big face.

"It seems to be some demon birds, there are a lot of them, and they are coming very fast!" Liu Ming's eyes appeared with black ripples, his eyes looked at the eastern sky, and he said with a deep breath.

As soon as he finished speaking, a loud rumbling murmur came closer and closer like a mountain and a tsunami, and a black oppressive cloud of red light suddenly appeared in the night in the east, adding to the strangeness in the darkness, and the loud rumbling sound came from there.

More and more people flew into the air, and when they saw this scene, their expressions changed greatly.

After a few more breaths, everyone finally saw the true face of the black cloud, and there were countless black bats, each of which was tall enough for a person, with eyes like two scarlet points of light, with a bloody mouth open, and the fangs protruding, looking hideous and terrifying.

"What kind of monster is this?" everyone gasped, and there was a hint of confusion in the crowd.

"Junior brothers, don't mess with your own formations, I have already arranged multiple defensive formations around the valley, and these mutant demon bats alone will not be able to break through for a while. Jin Tianci's voice was like thunder, rolling out.

The somewhat flustered crowd suddenly fell silent, but Luo Tiancheng in the crowd flashed a trace of anger in his eyes.

He had just reached a critical juncture in his cultivation, and he had already grasped the slightest opportunity to break through, but he was broken by these demon beasts, how could he be extremely annoyed.

The silver light flashed on his body, and he was about to rush out to fight, but at this moment, Qiu Longzi appeared beside him in a flash, and clasped his shoulder, and said in a deep voice:

"Senior Brother Luo, don't be impulsive! There are too many of these demon bats, it's useless to rush and kill indiscriminately, and once they fight, the violent mana fluctuations combined with the bloody qi will easily attract other demon beasts nearby!"

At this moment, Jin Tianci, who was hanging in the air, began to chant words in his mouth, and a dazzling yellow light shot out from the array in his hand.

The "Thick Earth Formation" had been activated, and billowing earthy yellow mist appeared around the valley, forming an egg-shaped curtain of light.

The yellow light curtain had just been unfolded, and the black demon bats in the sky had already pounced into the valley, and the first dozen or so hit their heads on the light curtain, making a dull sound of "bang" and "bang".

The light curtain fluttered a few times, but it didn't move.

Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but the number of these bat demon beasts was too many, and their size was huge, and as far as the eye could see, they almost covered the sky of the entire valley.

At least there are thousands of them!

Not long after, the overwhelming bloodthirsty bats crowded out of the earthy yellow light shield of the Thick Earth Formation, and in the blink of an eye, the entire Thick Earth Formation was surrounded in the middle.

These bats kept hitting the light mask with their bodies as if they were desperate, and their mouths let out a series of hoarse screams, as if knocking on everyone's hearts, and a pair of blood-red eyes were full of madness.

Many people had already regretted their decision to stay here during the day, if they had taken the spirit gathering stone from the Spirit Gathering Array and left immediately, how could they still be in such a predicament.

Although the strength of these bats is not very strong, most of them are demon beasts in the condensation stage, but the number is too much, if they fight hard, even these disciples in the crystallization stage dare not guarantee that they can escape with their whole body, once they attract some other high-level demon beasts nearby, the consequences will be even more unimaginable.

After only seven or eight breaths, the bloodthirsty bats seemed to see that they couldn't break through the light curtain, and suddenly flew up in unison, a little blood lit up in their mouths, and then shot out violently.

Crackling sounds come and go!

Countless blood lights hit the light curtain, and suddenly the earthy yellow light flashed chaotically, and the originally condensed yellow mist also rolled violently.

At the same time, Jin Tianci's face was slightly pale, and the arm holding the array plate trembled obviously.

"Senior Brother Jin, it is too strict for you to support this magic array alone against so many demon bats, and it is impossible for the thick earth formation to last too long, activate the other defensive formations, and hand them over to the other people present who know the way of the formation to manipulate together." Seeing this, Qiu Longzi immediately flew down beside Jin Tianci and said urgently.

Jin Tianci took a deep breath, nodded, and waved his hand again and again, and four or five array disks of different colors emerged and flew towards Qi Longzi.

Qi Longzi waved his hand and grabbed a cyan array disk, and a magic trick hit it, and suddenly a faint cyan light mask appeared in the thick earth array.

Immediately, the blue and yellow light over the valley was intertwined, and the earthy yellow light curtain suddenly stabilized. (To be continued......)
