Chapter 149: Give it a go
Several people have been trapped in it for a long time, and they are still mortals, and they must not be able to support them for too long when they are running out of food and water. Of course, Lu Chengfeng's cultivation can still support it for a while. It's just that at the moment, this formation is profound, and it is definitely not something that ordinary people can find flaws. The most important thing is that if Lu Chengfeng's true qi is exhausted, they will not only have to face the attacks of those monsters above their heads, but also the scorching magma surging around them.
Many things are telling them that they are already in a desperate situation. After trying a few times, they also seemed to start to despair. Looking at this closed stone chamber, apart from the heavy stone walls and a few corpses, there are only a few oil lamps for illumination. Looking at these oil lamps, although they are not very bright, they can burn here for so long, I am afraid that the lampstand is not ordinary oil, but it is a pity that they only think about how to get out, and do not pay any attention to this inconspicuous oil lamp.
It is very rare for such a formation to truly understand its mysteries in the cultivation realm, they have never seen this formation, and it is tantamount to a fantasy to break the formation.
After returning to the Yuan after some qi guidance, Lu Chengfeng slowly opened his eyes, and he couldn't help but start to carefully look at everything in the stone room in a desperate situation. After walking back and forth, he suddenly seemed to have something missing in the stone room, but he couldn't say what was missing for a while. However, at this time, Qiao Meijiao couldn't help but feel a little emotional in her heart after looking at the charred-like corpse in the stone room. When I came in, there were more than ten people in the group, but I didn't expect that in just a few hours, only she and Qu Leiyang were left.
Qu Tiyang, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but feel a little distressed when he saw Qiao Meijiao's dry lips, so he took out a water bladder from his waist and handed it over, and said softly, "Don't worry! With me, we will definitely be able to get out safely!"
But Qiao Meijiao took the water bladder and was not in a hurry to drink, but just used it to rub Lu Chengfeng, who was pondering in place. Lu Chengfeng turned around and saw that Qu Leiyang's face was wrong, and suddenly understood something, just shook his head lightly and said, "I don't need it for the time being, you can drink it!" After speaking, he walked straight to a candlestick, as if he had found something.
Qiao Meijiao sighed lightly when she was so cold when she encountered the other party, and returned the water bladder. Seeing that these subordinates who had fought side by side with him suffered such a catastrophe, for a while, my heart was like turning the river and the sea, in addition to guilt, I blamed myself for my recklessness and killed so many lives.
At this time, they all knew that if they delayed here for a moment longer, there would be more dangers, and if they said a word less, they could save enough breath to hold on for a moment longer. After some careful observation, the eyes of the three of them all converged on the oil lamps around them.
There are a total of five oil lamps in the stone room, and after carefully looking at the direction of each oil lamp, Qu Leiyang first spoke, "The direction of each oil lamp is arranged according to the five elements of Fuxi Bagua, and it seems that this flaw is undoubtedly on this oil lamp!"
However, this seemingly ordinary direction of the five elements is endlessly changing, and when the caster sets up the formation, he usually controls the formation strictly in the order of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, but no one knows which oil lamp is the gold position or the fire position. This means that once you find the location of one of the lights, the other lights will be self-explanatory. It's just that the key to this formation lies in this, and this seemingly ordinary five elements can produce countless possibilities and changes, which mainly depend on the mood of the caster.
If you get the wrong bearing, the formation will change accordingly. And the consequence of being wrong is that you may face a mechanism that will kill you for a lifetime, or you may be trapped here for the rest of your life, or even directly hit by a spell and die on the spot. In other words, if you get it wrong, the consequences are simply unimaginable.
After listening to Qu Leiyang's introduction, both of them were a little disappointed at the same time, could it be that the three of them were really going to be trapped here?
In the face of such a powerful formation, even if there is a powerful ancient artifact like the Xuanyuan Sword, or in the advanced cultivation, I am afraid that it can only be a sigh of admiration, it seems that the strength of cultivation does not represent everything in this cultivation realm, and there are always some untouchable masters in the field that few people have touched.
Fortunately, these more than ten corpses died tragically, but they did not have to endure so much torture.
Trapped in this ghost place, Lu Chengfeng suddenly became a little irritable, and after some inner struggle, he said indifferently, "Instead of sitting still, it's better to give it a try, it's much better than being trapped here!"
Of course, this is not his own decision, because this move endangers the lives of the three people, and their consent must be obtained. Unexpectedly, as soon as the words came out, they were immediately opposed by Qu Leiyang, "By all means, if we are not careful, we may die at any time." If you act so recklessly, you don't care if you die yourself, don't even lose your lives for the two of us!"
"And what better way do you have than this?"
Lu Chengfeng's method is actually helpless, but this is really the only feasible method at the moment. You may still be 20% sure if you give it a try, but if you don't try, then you can only sit back and wait in the end. But Qu Tiyang didn't agree, only to see him shake his head and say, "No matter what, you can't be too reckless, I once knew this formation in an ancient book, as long as I calm down and think about it, I can always find a way to break the formation!"
"I can last two hours at most, and if you can't think of a way after an hour, then I'll have to do what I want!"
After some arguments between the two, Lu Chengfeng chose a temporary compromise.
This may seem like a short hour, but it is an ordeal for all three. Each of them focused their eyes on the oil lamps around them. Staring at the shadowy firelight, they really wished they had never been here, and an unprecedented despair hung over everyone's hearts for a long time. If they had a choice, they would rather die a painful death by the enemy's sword than suffer such torture here.
After an hour, Lu Chengfeng finally couldn't hold it back, so he asked, "How? Have you come up with a way to crack it?"
When he asked this, the two of them saw the answer from Qu Leiyang's tightly knit brows at the same time, but he insisted on waiting a little longer. Just after the two began to argue again, Qiao Meijiao, who had been silent for a long time, slowly spoke, "Since we can't find a flaw, let's try it according to Lu Chengfeng's method, maybe we can still have a glimmer of life!"
Hearing this, Qu Leiyang chose to be silent, but it also meant acquiescence.
After Lu Chengfeng carefully observed the direction of several lamps, he found the oil lamp closest to the west by feeling. Just as he was about to turn the oil lamp, he suddenly spoke again, "Stay close to me, if anything happens, I can still protect you!"
After Qu Leiyang helped Qiao Meijiao over, he quietly retreated to his original place. Although Lu Chengfeng repeatedly motioned for him to come over, he was always stunned and refused to go over, but said lightly, "If I have any mistakes, please take her out of here safely no matter what!"
Although these words were silent, Qiao Meijiao's heart suddenly tightened, she wanted to call him over, but the other party insisted on refusing, and finally had to tell him to be careful.
A moment later, Lu Chengfeng began to slowly turn the bronze oil lamp, and between the turns, a crisp clicking sound echoed in the stone room. No one knew what would happen in the next moment, but they just prayed in their hearts that nothing would happen.
After a series of clicks, the flame of the oil lamp slowly changed to a dull green, followed by the rest of the lamps, but there seemed to be no other change. But Qu Leiyang's face suddenly changed at this time, and he secretly screamed in his heart, seeing that the faint green flame suddenly began to dance without wind. In a trance, the flames gradually began to transform into terrifying and terrifying faces, and they were rushing towards the middle of the stone chamber with their teeth and claws.
What's even more terrifying is that the ghosts who were floating in mid-air before also seemed to sense some kind of power and roared and flew over.
When Lu Chengfeng saw these monsters rushing over, he was angry for a while, and immediately waved the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand, but unfortunately, under the shroud of the smoke-like green firelight, those ghosts were actually very powerful for a while, and the power of the Xuanyuan Sword also weakened a lot. After a slash, those ghosts dodged left and right, and they didn't suffer much damage.
At the same time, Qu Leiyang then also sacrificed a charm for defense, but it was a pity that the ghost at this time suddenly increased in power, and it didn't take long to break through the spell and instantly rush to Qu Leiyang's side. Under the siege, Qu Leiyang gradually began to be a little overwhelmed.
Lu Chengfeng saw that Qu Leiyang's essence had been sucked out of his ears by the ghost thing, and he was worried about his safety, so he exhausted his true qi in a hurry and used the Jiuyang Burning Immortal Technique, and the monstrous flames spread throughout the stone room in an instant with endless might. I have to say that the ancient divine soldiers with such powerful exercises are really powerful, and wherever the fire reaches, those ghost heads don't have time to escape, and they will die when they touch it. After a few moments, the color of the oil lamps returned to their normal colors, as if nothing had happened before.
Although he was lucky not to die, Lu Chengfeng exhausted his last breath of true qi because of this, which also means that if they encounter any danger, I am afraid they can only fight with flesh and blood. Of course, this also meant that if the surrounding stone walls erupted in flames again, they would only face the same fate as these corpses.
After a fierce battle, Qu Leiyang's face was already pale, and it seemed that a lot of Jingyuan had been sucked away before. The essence is the foundation of a person, and if the essence does not exist, then the person will become an empty skin.
