Volume 2: Evil Chapter 78: Breaking the Formation
Zhao Hong's guess was not wrong, the layers of formations in Lei Ze seemed to be artificially arranged for future generations to comprehend, and each layer of formations was interlocking, from shallow to deep. After understanding this truth, Zhao Hong simply returned to the edge of the periphery, starting from the simplest and low-level formation, and comprehending the past layer by layer.
But who exactly arranged the formation here? Why did he leave this kind of forbidden land for future generations to comprehend and deduce and improve the level of the formation? And why did these forbidden places be set up in Lei Ze?
Zhao Hong didn't know these problems at all, but compared to before, he was walking more slowly, and deduced these low-level formations as he went. Along the way, his formation level has been on the verge of breaking through, although these formations are good, but it is impossible to stop him. If it weren't for his desire to thoroughly comprehend the essence of each layer of formation, his speed would have been much faster.
The time had come to the afternoon of the second day, and Zhao Hong had finally returned to the scope of the sixth layer formation again. After the accumulation of the first to the fifth layer in the front, he now has a feeling of sudden enlightenment. But even so, as soon as he entered the sixth floor, his speed began to slow even slower.
It's not that he can't break this sixth-level formation, but he wants to have a deeper understanding of this sixth-level formation and lay a good foundation for entering the seventh layer. While observing the formation of the sixth layer here, he also took out the formation flag, and actually began to arrange the formation and deduce it here.
It was just a stick of incense, Zhao Hong stood up again, with a satisfied smile on his face, and then his figure flashed, and he walked deeper into it.
It didn't take long for Zhao Hong to find himself in a world filled with white mist, and the thunderous sound that had exploded along the way was now inaudible, and the range of vision with the naked eye was no more than a zhang. He was suddenly shocked, this was the first time he had not discovered the formation, and he was trapped by the formation.
"This is the seventh-level difficulty of the trapped ......formation," Zhao Hong sighed secretly in his heart, and at the same time felt that the aura of heaven and earth here had increased vainly, and it was no longer as complicated as the periphery.
He had seen all kinds of formations before, and he was really breathtaking. What made him even more unbelievable was that there were some high-grade spirit grasses that he had never seen before on the seventh layer. Although it is not much, compared to the previous six layers, there is not a single weed, which is much better, and it is estimated that it has something to do with the sudden increase in aura.
Zhao Hong casually collected these high-grade spirit grasses and put them in the storage bag. Although he was still not very familiar with these spirit grasses, he didn't know them. But in the future, he will have time to study the "Essentials of Alchemy", and there is a chapter dedicated to spiritual herbs.
"Don't move around at will, first calm down and feel the surroundings, this is a seventh-level trapped formation, and there is also a phantom array mixed with it. The old dragon said in a deep voice in the ring. The reason why it didn't let Zhao Hong move around was because it knew that once Zhao Hong didn't understand this formation, it would be easy to lose his position after walking around, and maybe he would fall into an illusion and not be able to extricate himself.
Zhao Hong nodded, thinking so. After he sat down cross-legged, he waved his robe, and a wooden sword appeared in his hand.
"Lost Valley Sword, this is also a treasure, the Lost Valley Tree can ward off evil spirits and drive away ghosts, and it can also break the general phantom array, at least so that people who fall into the phantom array will not lose their nature. It seems that that little girl is also affectionate and righteous to you......" The old dragon muttered, as if he was a little emotional.
Zhao Hong didn't pay attention to the old dragon, but carefully released his soul sense, only to find that his soul sense had no way to pass through those white mist at all, and was only devoured in the white mist.
Zhao Hong shook his head helplessly, and then the corner of his nose moved, and more than a dozen "Divine Soul Thorns" shot out in all directions. After a while, he threw out the array flags in his hand one after another, then closed his eyes, and soon entered the realm of selflessness again.
Zhao Hong wholeheartedly used the formation knowledge in the "Witch Book" and the formation book given to him by Feng Luoyan, combined with the comprehension experience of the first six layers, to deduce the seventh-level formation, trying to break through the realm of the seventh-level formation master.
About an hour passed, Zhao Hong suddenly stood up with a long roar, and the array flag in his hand began to spill out continuously, and then the white mist around him retreated and dispersed at a speed that could be seen by the naked eye, and finally became thinner and thinner, until it disappeared.
At this moment when Zhao Hong suddenly became enlightened, his formation level finally opened a gap in the barrier between the sixth and seventh levels, and at the same time that he stood up and sprinkled the formation flag, he had already stepped into the ranks of the seventh-level formation masters.
The moment he stepped out of the phantom array, the next formation hindered him less and less, and the scene of lightning and thunder in the sky appeared again. While walking towards the depths of the core again, Zhao Hong's soul sense scanned more spirit grasses, and without the slightest hesitation, he rolled up these spirit grasses and stored them all in the storage bag.
Along the way, although Zhao Hong did not have the trouble of spatial wind blades and spatial turbulence, there were more and more purple lightning bolts in the sky, even if Zhao Hong was very diligent in sacrificing thunder talismans, and avoided the thunder source as much as possible, and had demon scale armor to protect his body, but he was still attacked by those purple lightning bolts and was bruised all over his body.
Later, Zhao Hong had to slow down again, he knew that this kind of lightning was him, if he was replaced by any other monk in Lei Ze, he didn't know how many times he had died, even if a monk like Feng Luoyan or even Wang Shi came in, there was no way to dodge. It seems that even if there is no threat of spatial turbulence in this Razor, it is still a place that is easy to die if you are not careful.
"According to the leather scroll, entering the area in front of you, it is likely that the eighth-level formation is located......" Zhao Hong frowned slightly, and put the leather scroll into the storage bag.
This is already the limit shown by the leather scroll, that is, no monk has ever come out alive if he goes any further. The countless years of efforts of the monks of the "Three Mountains" forces, with the blood of countless monks, could not figure out the situation at all. In other words, the depths of the so-called real Razor core are already ahead.
......
When Zhao Hong was selflessly comprehending the eighth-level formation, all the people outside Lei Ze felt a "boom" vibration.
"What's the matter?" asked the monks who were waiting on the periphery.
At this moment of shock, several explorer monks who were still in Razor were teleported out in an instant.
Wang Shi's face was also instantaneous when he heard the sound of abnormal movements, but it didn't take long for him to breathe a sigh of relief, he didn't find out that there were two people from the Ice Sect among the monks who came out. The remaining four members of the Huoyun Sect, as well as the three members of the Qingzhu Gang, stayed in the Razor for two days, but in the end, they still did not hold on, and were teleported out first.
If you can stay in Razor more, not to mention the possibility of getting more high-grade spirit grass, and those who can persist to the end in the comparison of the three factions can also earn enough face for the Ice Faction. At present, it seems that only the two people who have entered the Ice Faction have still not been rumored to be rumored, and it seems that this time Razor's trip, the Ice Faction must be the final winner.
Thinking of this, Wang Shi couldn't help but squint his eyes and stroked his beard proudly.
However, the tremor did not last long, only a moment, and it had settled down again. Although this is a short period of time, the seven contestants were all teleported during this vibration, and some of them have already thought about what must have happened inside Razor.
When he found out that Zhao Hong was not among the people who were teleported, his momentum suddenly soared, and he stretched out his Zhenyuan big hand to grab the monk who was teleported out at the end.
These monks had been in the Razor for two days, and it was unlikely that they had not seen Zhao Hong, unless Zhao Hong had either fallen or had really entered the depths of the core. So arrogant and ruthless just grabbed the monk who came out at the end in a hurry, and planned to interrogate him carefully, but he didn't expect that the person he caught was Wang Zhenhai.
It's just that before his hand touched Wang Zhenhai, another Zhenyuan big hand had already stretched out at the same time, and the two Zhenyuan big hands collided together, making a loud "boom". A huge ravine had already cracked in the ground during the impact of the two hands.
"The arrogant boss has a big temper, but he wants to be wild with the people of my Qingzhu Gang, and it's a little bit worse. A cold voice said, and then a middle-aged scribe stood up and stared coldly at the arrogant man.
Arrogant quickly calmed down, he already understood that there was something wrong with what he had just done. He could do this to any other monk, but he couldn't do this to the monks of the Green Bamboo Gang. Wang Fuwan, the big gang leader of the Qingzhu Gang, is also a cultivator at the peak of "refining qi and transforming gods". Although he was only slightly worse than him in the breakthrough, it was also limited. What's more, there were two other monks of the Qingzhu Gang who were present who were "refining qi and transforming gods", that is, the two deputy heads of the Qingzhu Gang, one in the late stage and one in the middle stage.
Wang Fuwan came out, obviously to protect the last person to be arrested by arrogance, that is, Wang Fuwan's only son Wang Zhenhai.
After understanding this truth, Ao ruthlessly hugged his fists at Wang Fuwan, who was dressed as a scribe, and said: "Brother Wang, don't blame you, Ao Mou's anxious little hatred was inadvertently offended just now. I wonder if Brother Wang can ask Ling Gongzi to tell me if he met Zhao Hong in Lei Ze?"
The people around listened to the arrogant words, and even more despised Wang Shi and Feng Luoyan. Arrogant used the same means to deal with the Qingzhu Gang, but the Qingzhu Gang dared to fight back, while the Ice Faction was like Sun Tzu.
Of course, Wang Shi knew what the people around him were talking about, and his face, which was still smug just now, suddenly became extremely gloomy, but he didn't say a word.
Wang Fuwan listened to the arrogant words, looked back at his son Wang Zhenhai, and said in a deep voice: "Zhenhai, if the arrogant head wants to ask you, if you want to answer, you can say it, and if you don't want to answer, we will leave." ”
After listening to Wang Fuwan's words, his face turned blue with arrogance, but he couldn't use this as an excuse to start a war with Wang Fuwan. At that moment just now, he knew that Wang Fuwan was not much worse than him. Besides, although the strength of the entire Qingzhu Gang is slightly insufficient compared to the Huoyun faction, it is really hot, and the Huoyun faction can't get any benefits.
Wang Zhenhai had already reacted at this time, but he looked at his father Wang Fuwan suspiciously and asked, "Father, didn't Zhao Hong come out? How could it be? He and I were friends in Lei Ze." ”
The reason why Wang Zhenhai was puzzled, and even had a hint of shock in his heart, was because he couldn't believe that Zhao Hong would be after him, and he hadn't come out at this time.
Wang Fuwan laughed after listening to Wang Zhenhai's words, and said with a little praise: "Zhenhai, your vision is really good, that Zhao Hong is indeed worth befriending." ”
Hearing the arrogant conversation between the Wang father and son, his arrogant face became more and more pale, but he understood that Wang Zhenhai really didn't know Zhao Hong's whereabouts.
After understanding this, he immediately looked at Feng Luoyan, and at the same time asked coldly: "Master Feng, I think you should really want to know the safety of your apprentice, let me ask you, how is your good apprentice now?"
Feng Luoyan was shocked, and at the same time, a sadness rose in her heart, since the previous head disappeared, and as the deputy head, she took over as the new head of the Cold Ice Sect, the Cold Ice Sect is far worse than it was at the beginning. Although the "Three Mountains" forces are still there, there is no doubt that the Ice Sect is the last. Many times, in order to protect the entire sect, I have to do something helpless and against my will.
She took out a jade plaque and threw it to Arrogant and said, "Qingqing has a divine thought mark on her body, which can be sensed through this jade plaque. ”
After arrogantly taking the jade card and sweeping it in, he immediately frowned and said, "This Divine Mind Mark is still on the periphery of Lei Ze, which means that your disciple Feng Qingqing should still be inside?"
Feng Luoyan replied respectfully after saluting arrogantly: "Theoretically, it should be like this, this mark was placed by Wang Xian himself, and a hidden formation was also arranged. I think as long as Qingqing is still alive, no matter where she is, even if she leaves Lei Ze, this jade card can be sensed. However, I am a little puzzled by the fact that this Divine Mind Mark has only been shaking in a small area in place for two days, and I am not sure why it is now. ”
Arrogant's face was gloomy, and he even had a bad premonition, that is, Zhao Hong was gone, but he didn't trust his judgment. Because if he wants to leave Razor, he must go to the gap where the formation has been loosened, and the place where he enters and exits this gap has always been in front of him, and he has never relaxed at all. Even if Zhao Hong is a genius, it is impossible for him to slip away under his nose unconsciously, it is absolutely impossible!
Although there was still a day before the gap in the formation was loosened, and the representatives of two of the three factions had been teleported, none of the monks who were watching at the edge of the square left. Everyone wanted to know what would happen to Zhao Hong and Feng Qingqing once they were teleported.
Wang Zhenhai has already made up his mind that no matter what, he will help Zhao Hong this time. For monks, a day really doesn't matter. He has already made his attitude clear to his father Wang Fuwan, even if he pours out the strength of the entire Qingzhu Gang, he must protect Zhao Hong.
The day had passed quickly, and the teleportation stone platform in the square outside Razor had been shrouded in fog again, and it had disappeared from everyone's eyes in the blink of an eye. In other words, the gap between the loose Razor formation was completely closed.
At the same time, the monks in the entire square gradually began to become agitated, and they all began to muttered in private.
Everyone now knows that it is impossible for Zhao Hong to come out again, because the Razor gap has been closed, and if he wants to appear again, it will be ten years later. If there were people in this world who came out of the Razor Blockade in normal times, no one would believe it. What level this blockade formation is, the monks of the entire Frustrated Land know it.
But staying in Razor will only be a dead end. No one would believe that a person, even a high-powered monk, could stay in Razor for ten years. In other words, Zhao Hong has not come out now, which means that he will stay in it forever.
Could it be that Zhao Hong planned to rather die in Lei Ze than come out and die in the hands of arrogance? This is not surprising when you think about it, there are many things in this world that are more terrible than death! But all the monks present couldn't figure out why Feng Qingqing, another monk of the Cold Ice Sect, also didn't come out?
Arrogant and pale, the Huoyun Sect was a mess during Lei Ze's trip this time, not to mention that he himself was also discouraged, and he was not even in the mood to count how much spirit grass he had obtained. These are nothing, and the most important thing is that his son Ao Yin was actually killed by Zhao Hong in Lei Ze. And he swore to kill Zhao Hong, but now he didn't even see the shadow of the other party.
At this moment, most people know that Zhao Hong should really not be able to come out of Lei Ze again, this should be a fact. It is even impossible to come out again or at all, because in the countless years, some of the monks sent by the "Three Mountains" to Razor have not been rushed out in time within three days, but none of them have ever been able to survive in Razor for ten years and then come out.
Wang Shi had already turned blue and black, he thought that although the Ice Sect had entered the fewest monks this time, they had held out the longest, which would allow the Ice Sect to win dignity. But he didn't expect that the Ice Sect would be wiped out.
And Feng Luoyan was just as sad, but she still had a bold guess in her heart, but she didn't dare to announce it. That is, will Feng Qingqing be able to escape with Zhao Hong?
The reason why she guessed this was not completely unfounded. She didn't have a comprehensive understanding of Zhao Hong's formation level as an alien monk, so wouldn't Zhao Hong have discovered the hidden formation set up by Wang Shi? But if this was the case, it might not be a good thing for her. Because that means that the divine thought mark on Feng Qingqing's body has been discovered. She didn't know what kind of disappointment Feng Qingqing would be in herself after learning that she had the imprint of divine thoughts on her body, but she knew that even if she and her apprentice met again, there would be no way to recover the kind of feelings they had before.
More than half a day passed like this, but there was still no one in the whole square who wanted to leave. Most of the monks wanted to see how the farce would end, but they felt the anger of the head of the Fire Cloud Sect fill the air.
