......

"Well, it doesn't hurt to tell you. Wang Zhen sighed, and then said slowly: "Actually, the holy land you are currently in is a large array, and the name of this array is the Eight Desolations Gathering Spirit Array. ”

"Eight Desolations Gathering Spirit Array, what is it?" Ou Chuyang frowned, obviously, he had never heard of this name at all.

"What's that? good. In his soul, Wang Zhen said disdainfully: "The main effect of the Eight Desolations Gathering Spirit Array is to gather the qi of heaven and earth for martial cultivators to absorb smoothly, and the biggest advantage of this array is that it can accelerate the rise of the surrounding heaven and earth spiritual qi, and then use it unstoppably. In fact, this array is just a kind of spirit gathering array, but the difference is that this array is too big, so big that it is mixed with two kinds of formations, phantom array and defense array, which is the so-called array within a array. ”

"Array?" Ou Chuyang exclaimed, obviously, Wang Array's words had already shocked Ou Chuyang, a novice in the formation.

Wang Zhen nodded, and then said: "Actually, there is nothing wrong with this array, the problem is above this array. ”

"Array Eyes?"

"That's right. All formations must have array eyes, and array eyes are the foundation for the growth and operation of an array realm, and without an array eye, the array realm will collapse with it. And now, the holy place where you live, the eyes are under the heavenly ancient tree by the edge of the vitality pool. ”

"Could it be that the ancient tree is the eye of the formation?" Ou Chuyang guessed.

After a pause, Wang Array replied, "To be precise, it should be a certain strange treasure under the ancient tree, which is the eye of this array. You must know that if you want to maintain a formation, that array eye must be strong, according to the current situation, this array should no longer be able to maintain the operation of this huge array or even several small arrays, resulting in the energy overdraft of the array eye, so there is a problem. ”

Hearing this, Ou Chuyang was puzzled, and thought for a moment with his chin in his hand, and the former asked tentatively: "You mean, the energy of this array has been overloaded by the formation realm, so it is impossible to sustain it, so it makes people worry, but I don't see anything?"

Wang Zhen glanced at Ou Chuyang, and scolded with a smile: "Nonsense, if you can see it, then not everyone in this formation realm will know it?"

"Uh..."Hearing this, Ou Chuyang scratched his head embarrassedly.

Looking at Ou Chuyang's ashamed expression, Wang Zhen smiled slightly and said, "Tell you, in fact, the energy overdraft of this array is not all caused by the formation realm, in my opinion, that vitality pool should account for a lot of weight." Remember the water in the pool of vitality?"

Hearing Wang Zhen's question, Ou Chuyang was stunned, but he didn't find anything wrong after thinking about it.

Seeing Ou Chuyang's dazed and unknown appearance, Wang Zhen sighed helplessly and said, "Forget it, I'll tell you everything." ”

"If I'm not mistaken, this array that maintains the Holy Land should be the legendary Wood Spirit Crystal Nucleus, it is also called the Origin Wood Spirit Crystal, it is the supreme treasure on the continent, this Origin Wood Spirit Crystal was originally born of heaven and earth, containing endless breath of life, it is actually the strongest treasure for forging body cultivation, and the water in the vitality pool you go to should also be released by this thing. So I dare say that this vitality pool is the main culprit that causes this array to be unsustainable. ”

Hearing this, Ou Chuyang suddenly became a little clearer: "I think I understand, are you saying that because there are people in the vitality pool who have been cultivating there all the year round and absorbing the vitality of the Origin Wood Spirit Crystal, their vitality has been greatly damaged, so they can't make the formation normal operation?"

"Clever. I got it right this time. Wang Zhen praised.

"Then what is the way to get out of this crisis?" then, Ou Chuyang asked.

At this time, Wang Zhen didn't answer so happily, but asked: "You kid won't be in this set of my words, and then want to help that old boy, so as to get benefits." ”

Hearing this, Ou Chuyang almost fainted: "Am I like such a utilitarian person?"

"Elephant. In the soul, Wang Zhen replied.

"Uh..." Ou Chuyang was speechless, and after a while, he said: "Say it or not, don't say our previous agreement, forget it." ”

"You kid, dare you threaten me?"

"Smart, you got it right this time. "Learn the tone of the king array, Ou Chuyang said.

"Dizzy. This time it was Wang Zhen's turn to be speechless, but from the beginning, Wang Zhen didn't intend to hide Ou Chuyang, so without paying too much attention to Ou Chuyang's tone, Wang Zhen said: "It's very simple, do you have seventh-level spirit crystals? Five are fine, if not, sixth-level is fine." Fifty pieces. ”

Hearing this, Ou Chuyang suddenly turned his back to the sky and fainted to the ground.

Through some negotiation with Wang Zhen, the other party finally agreed to help the Holy Land to solve this potential crisis, but this price made Ou Chuyang a little shocked when he heard it.

According to what Wang Zhen said, this Origin Wood Spirit Crystal was born for heaven and earth, and there is nothing that can replace it, but fortunately, with Wang Array, the master of the formation realm, this problem is also easy to solve: the seventh-level spirit crystal, one each of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, is handed over to the Wang Array, and it can be used through the Wang Array to form a small five-element derivative formation that replaces the eye of the array, although this array is small, it can completely simulate the formation of the core spiritual power of the Origin Wood Spirit Crystal, thereby replacing the Origin Wood Spirit Crystal, infinitely generating the breath of life, and then maintaining the operation of the Eight Desolations Gathering Spirit Array. It's just that the price seems to be a bit too great.

You must know that seventh-level spirit crystals are rare on the mainland, and they are spirit crystals that are enough to match the spirit beasts of martial arts-level powerhouses. Martial mad level spirit beasts, don't say you don't dare to look for them, even if you look for them, you may not be able to find them easily, besides, even if you find them, what if you find them?

In fact, thinking of getting a seventh-level spirit crystal, Ou Chuyang thought that it was not a difficult matter, with the status of the Holy Land in the empire, it was completely possible to find a seventh-level spirit crystal with the power of a country, but it was difficult to find a seventh-level spirit crystal with the strength of this royal array, and it was not just as simple as a spirit crystal. There are five of them, and one of the five spirit attributes, such a number, looking at the continent, can only be obtained with the support of the people of the whole continent. So, the cost of solving the crisis is simply too great.

But fortunately, the king array has a second plan, that is, to collect fifty sixth-level spirit crystals, and ten of the five spirit attributes to replace these five seventh-level spirit crystals, however, the sixth-level spirit crystals are not so easy to get, let alone fifty at most.

Of course, this matter actually has nothing to do with Ou Chuyang, but after Wang Zhen said this price, there was another sentence that moved Ou Chuyang's heart.

"Hehe, in fact, if you can gather so many spirit crystals, I can help the Holy Land, because it will be of great benefit to us. ”

"What's good?" Ou Chuyang once asked.

"Replace the Origin Wood Spirit Crystal with the Small Five Elements Derivative Array, in that case, this Origin Wood Spirit Crystal will be useless, so when the time comes, you can completely take the Origin Wood Spirit Crystal into your body and refine it, in that case, you can get a substantial leap in strength, and in addition, this Origin Wood Spirit Crystal also has the effect of forging body restoration, which has a lot of benefits." ”

Wang Zhen said it easily, but this sentence was like a thunderbolt in the sky, hitting Ou Chuyang's heart hard.

This sentence is nothing, but the next sentence makes Ou Chuyang's heart moved, the effect of forging and recovering, this sentence is simple, but Ou Chuyang can still feel a little yearning from Wang Zhen's tone.

Tempted, this time, Ou Chuyang couldn't sit still anymore, that is, that night, Ou Chuyang went to the central hall again.

It was still the magnificent hall, and the two students on duty were still at the door, and the person who came was still Ou Chuyang.

In Xingmu's room, the six elders had not yet left, and had been sighing in the room, but at this time, there was a slight knock at the door.

"Come in. ”

The door opened, and a student walked in, and immediately bowed down and said, "Report to the elders, Ou Chuyang outside the door asks to see you." ”

As soon as they heard this, all the elders were immediately puzzled and looked at the torture wood in the center. And Xing Mu was also puzzled. After thinking about it, Xingmu finally ordered, "Let him in." ”

"Old Criminal, why is he back again?" the gatekeeper had just walked out, and Yuan Ming asked puzzled.

Hearing this, Xingmu shook his head. Of course, he wouldn't know why Ou Chuyang went and returned.

After waiting for a while, Ou Chuyang finally came to this room again under the leadership of the gatekeeper student. When he entered the room, he did not speak, but sat down on the chair before him, without saying a word.

When the elders saw Ou Chuyang's strange behavior, they even forgot about their own disrespect, and the seven people and fourteen old eyes all looked at Ou Chuyang with doubts on their faces.

Shaking his head in annoyance, Ou Chuyang really couldn't think of what to say to the elders, and finally, he sighed and said in his heart: That's it, pretend to be stupid.

Raising his head, Ou Chuyang glanced around at a few elders, and finally spoke up: "This... There is a way to that thing. ”

Hearing this, the elders were stunned, obviously, they didn't understand what Ou Chuyang was saying at all, and at this time, Xing Mu's eyes lit up suddenly, and he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Is there really a way?"

Ou Chuyang didn't speak, just nodded, and at this time, the other six elders reflected, and they gathered around Ou Chuyang one by one, their eyes as if they had seen a treasure that they had never seen in their lives, staring at Ou Chuyang with brilliance.

Smiled helplessly, Ou Chuyang nodded, and then said, "However, the price is a bit big, and I don't know if the Holy Land can do it." ”

"Any price, as long as this crisis can be resolved, even if it is a few of us, we can give it with both hands. In a hurry, Xingmu couldn't care about anything else, and when he heard that there was a way to alleviate the crisis, he could even take his life.

Hearing this, Ou Chuyang was speechless for a moment, and said in his heart: What do you want your old lives to do?

However, Ou Chuyang didn't show it, he just repeated the words of the Wang Array in an indifferent tone and said to several elders: "There is a problem with the array eye of the Holy Land Array Realm and it needs to be repaired, but although there are not many things used to repair the array eye, it is difficult to get it. ”

"What is it?" the elders asked in unison, eager in a hurry.

"Seventh-level spirit crystals, one each for gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. If not, level six is fine, but ten times as much. You decide. After telling all the elders about this solution, Ou Chuyang didn't say anything more, just watched the shocked expressions of several people, and waited for their answers.

Hearing that so many high-grade spirit crystals were needed, the elders were immediately stunned on the spot, it was true that even they could not come up with so many high-grade spirit crystals in a short period of time, and the price was really too great, just as Ou Chuyang said.

There was a deathly silence in the room. In this way, as if it had been a long time, Xing Mu Fang tentatively asked, "Is there no other way?"

Ou Chuyang shook his head and said, "If there is, I will say it." ”

As if struggling for a long time, after exchanging glances with the six elders, Xing Mu said, "According to my investigation, this formation can last for less than three years, and it is impossible for us to come up with so many high-grade spirit crystals for a while, what I want to ask is, when will we be able to solve the crisis at the latest?"

Hearing this, Ou Chuyang opened his mouth, obviously, Wang Zhen didn't mention it to him about the time limit, and he couldn't answer Xingmu's question.

And just when Ou Chuyang was in a dilemma, the voice of the king array in the soul suddenly sounded: "Tell him, within three years." ”

"Within three years. Following the voice of the king's array, Ou Chuyang blurted out.

Hearing this, Xingmu gritted his teeth, and finally replied, "Okay." Just three years. I've worked hard to get together these fifty sixth-level spirit crystals. ”

Seeing that Xing Mu had a plan in his heart, Ou Chuyang didn't stay any longer, got up to say goodbye and walked out of the room. But when he just walked to the door, the old voice of Xingmu rang out.

"Wait. ”

Ou Chuyang turned around, frowned and asked, "Is there anything else?"

Xing Mu smiled slightly: "Last question, why didn't you say this method just now?"

"Uh..." Ou Chuyang was stunned, and then threw down a sentence: I didn't think about it, I don't want to say it. Then he turned and departed. In the room, only the elders were left staring at the door one by one, their silver beards fluttering wildly.

Time flies, the years are like a shuttle, and in the blink of an eye, it is another year of spring and winter. And after more than a year, it seems that the space is powerless to change anything in this former dark mountain range, and it is still filled with the thick black fog and the gloomy and terrifying that penetrates people's hearts all year round.

In the depths of the distant mountains, several angry voices containing strong killing intent continued to sound, followed by countless tragic wails. This wail was filled with incomparable anger, and it was terrifying to hear.

Following the direction from which the sound came from, he narrowed his gaze, and in the dense forest, several figures emitting different colors of light were frequently intertwined, and everywhere he passed, there was a compelling cold light. And when the cold light flashed, one by one the wind wolves fell with a bang, and the blood of the beasts flowed out.

"Ling'er, right. A cry came out of the mouth of one of the white-clothed girls, and then, in a flash, her figure flashed in front of the other fiery girl, blocking a storm wolf that was about to succeed in a sneak attack.

Successfully saving Xiao Ling'er, Dongfang Xue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but it seemed that things were not as light as imagined, just a breath, and a few wind wolves rushed over. The two women glanced at each other, joined the battle group again, and relied on the weapons in their hands to start a new round of killing.

On the other side, Owen and Xu Jie'er each resisted a few wind wolves, struggling to support, and it was not difficult to see from their soaked clothes that this battle was indeed tragic.
