Chapter 276: The Tiger Formation
Butcher Chen's hiding place is very secretive, but for Ah Lian, who has detailed information, it is like walking on the ground.
On Ah Lian's map, a thin red line is marked, and this is the only way to enter the core, and if you deviate from this path, you will be lost in the jungle full of poisonous snake miasma.
Although they are cultivators, there is too much miasma here, and if you go too deep into the miasma, it is not a good thing, and in this mountain range, it is especially easy to get lost.
"This is the most terrifying thing about the Juyi Mountain Range, I don't know why, even cultivators can easily get lost here. My thief-eyed bee couldn't get in, and I sold this image from a colleague at a great price. Ah Lian deliberately emphasized.
"Uh...... I'll give you this part of the money. Ma Xie wiped the sweat from his forehead, and he secretly said in his heart: "Do women love money so much?"
After going deep into the mountains and forests for seven or eight miles, and after walking around for an hour, they finally came to the opposite side of the cave where the poisonous scorpion was.
"That's where the scorpion is. Ah Lian said: "This information should be three days ago, three days ago, the poisonous scorpion will not move!"
"That's for sure, look at the stone platform in front of you. Ma Xie said in a somewhat heavy tone.
On top of that stone platform, there were the bodies of three children.
"They...... Sure enough, he was looking for the descendants of the god of water. Liu Zongxuan said.
Looking at the corpses of the three children, it is not difficult for the three of them to imagine what kind of tragedy happened just now, these three children who have not yet grown up have paid for their lives for the ambition of a group of people.
The door to the cave opened, and out of it came an old man with gray hair and a pale face, with a blue mole on the left side of his cheek.
"That's the scorpion. Ah Lian said.
The scorpion walked up to the three children, removed a vial of blood from one of them, and returned to the cave.
"Shall we do it?" asked Liu Zongxuan.
"Wait, we haven't figured out what's going on around yet. "The horse is here.
"Look at me!" Ah Lian quietly released three small thief-eyed bees, and the three bees flew out obediently, one flew into the stone cave, and the other two flew around to investigate.
After a while, all three thieves flew back safely.
"Butcher Chen is in another cave, about two miles from here, and there are two people in the cave, except for the poisonous scorpion, which is his apprentice Evil Fei. "Ah Lian learned this information through the Thief Eye Bee.
"In other words, the masters of the other party are all here, and the butcher Chen is not enough, what we have to deal with is the poisonous scorpion and his disciple Evil Fei. You two are not good at fighting, so I'm afraid you are not the opponent of Evil Fly. Ma Xie carefully calculated the gap between the two sides.
"At this point, I can only tell the truth. Ah Lian said solemnly: "I'm not bad at fighting. ”
"Oh, can you deal with Evil Fei alone?" asked Ma Xie in surprise.
"I ...... Completely unable to fight. Ah Lian stared ahead, without any expression on her face, as if she was ready for the ridicule of Ma Xie and Liu Zongxuan.
"When the dragon protector fights, it all depends on the alien beasts that are manipulated, and my alien beast thief-eye bee is not good at fighting, and there are only so many of my thief-eye bees, I can't replenish each one missing. Ah Lian explained.
Ma Xie and Liu Zongxuan did not laugh at Ah Lian, Ma Xie said: "I see, in this way, we can't directly fight them head-on." ”
"I should be able to contain Evil Fei, but Ma Evil, you have to face the scorpion on your own, and I don't know how long I can hold out. "Liu Zongxuan knows his combat power very well, he is not a cultivator who fights head-on, and it is impossible to defeat the evil flying who is higher than him.
Ma Xie said to Ah Lian: "Can you send a few more thief-eyed bees to monitor the surrounding movements for me, I want to set up a formation here." ”
"Formation?" Ah Lian and Liu Zongxuan said in unison, "Are you a formation mage?"
"It's only a third-order, and I don't have a top-grade formation map, so I can only use a second-class formation to resist for a while. Ma Xie said.
Ah Lian released eight thief-eyed bees and flew around, and if there was any abnormality, she would know it as soon as possible.
Spells were born from the divine consciousness of Ma Xie, and under the manipulation of the spirit silk, these spells quietly fell in front of the stone cave, arranged on the base of a six-pointed star.
This is the first time that Ma Xie has arranged a trapped formation, and in "Yantianlu", there are not many formations recorded, and this is the only recorded second-order trapped formation - Fuhu Formation.
The array talisman gradually fell on the base of the formation, and a phantom figure of a tiger appeared on the ground.
Ma Xie pinched a formation and sank into the tiger's forehead.
The tiger gradually disappeared, and all the array talismans that originally radiated brilliance on the ground disappeared.
Ma Xie You took out a few spirit stones and put them in a few hidden places, this was to prevent him from carelessly taking care of the formation during the battle, resulting in the lack of spiritual energy.
"Originally, I could have arranged a sword array, but the killing array was too noisy, so I could only arrange one trap array, and if I could trap one of the two of them, I would have time to deal with the other person. Ma Xie said, "Next, it's time to lure the snake out of the hole!"
"I'll leave it to me!" Liu Zongxuan said.
With that, he took out a ghost flying stone and threw it towards the door of the cave.
"It's too loud, isn't it?" the horse demon wanted to stop it, but it was too late.
But the strange thing is that the ghost flying stone directly smashed through the mountain gate, but it didn't make any sound.
"Who!" came a loud cry from inside.
Then, a big black man with a meaty face walked out, and that person was none other than the scorpion's disciple Evil Fei.
As soon as Evil Fei stepped out of the door, the Horse Evil Formation was activated.
The tiger suddenly pounced and crushed the vicious flying to the ground.
"Formation!" Evil Fei reacted that someone was going to disadvantage him and his master, but before he could shout, a black shadow flew over his head.
The moment Evil Fei was restrained by the formation, Ma Xie rushed into the cave with his sword.
The scorpion was in the middle of the cave, with various bottles in front of him, and a large crystal ball in the center of the table.
Ma Xie pierced the crystal ball with a single sword, and countless points of light flew out of the crystal ball, and the sword went straight to the scorpion's chest.
In Liu Zongxuan's eyes, these things seemed to be only for a short moment, and he even felt that it was not a breath at all.
Ma Xie, who was still beside him just now, had already rushed to the scorpion's side at this moment, and his long sword had already reached the scorpion's throat.
But this sword of the horse evil pierced the air!
The moment the poisonous scorpion flew out, it had already begun to take precautions.
What remains in place now is nothing but a shadow.
"Whoosh!" the sound of Ma Xie breaking through the air behind him struck, and he rolled on the spot, only to see a broken arrow flying over his head.
At the entrance of the cave, the poisonous scorpion was looking at Ma Xie with a crossbow in his hand.
"Who are you?" asked the scorpion.
"The man who killed you!"
"Unfortunately, I don't want to die yet. The scorpion didn't even love fighting at all, and turned and fled.
When he flew out, he found the evil flying trapped in the formation, and the poisonous scorpion frowned, he didn't expect that the person who came turned out to be a formation mage.
Seeing his disciple trapped in the formation, the poisonous scorpion didn't want to save him, after all, to break this formation, it was necessary to consume spiritual power, and there were chasing soldiers behind him, so the poisonous scorpion would not fall in love with the battle.
"The old thief is gone!" chased Ma Xie out of the cave, and a golden light flew out of his hand.
That was the broken sword that Liu Zongxuan gave to Ma Xie.
The short sword chased in the direction where the scorpion flew, and the scorpion found the short sword behind him and knew that it was faster than him, so he turned to meet the enemy.
The moment he turned around, a small shield more than two feet long appeared in his hand.
He used his shield to get ahead of the top in a vain attempt to block the dagger.
But as soon as the dagger turned into nine, it dodged the shield and stabbed at the scorpion in nine different directions.
The scorpion shouted, and the shield suddenly began to grow larger, turning into a round ball, firmly enveloping the scorpion.
Nine daggers touched the ball and fell to the ground.
"Hmph, that's all there is to it, call the people behind you out! You're not my match yet. The scorpion said.
"Scorpion, don't be tempted, I'm the only one who came today, and I'm the only one who took your head!" Ma Xie said.
The poisonous scorpion secretly said in his heart: "Is his words true? Isn't he the pursuer of the Pingyang Kingdom?"
It turned out that the poisonous scorpion ran away when he saw Ma Xie, because he regarded Ma Xie as a person from Pingyang Kingdom, and the prince of Pingyang Kingdom has been tracking them down in recent days.
The poisonous scorpion looked around, and it seemed that there was indeed no one else, only Ma Xie, a cultivator of the sixth layer of the Qi Refining Realm.
"You're underestimating me, too. The scorpion said, "Are you a bounty hunter?" and you have found this place, so don't you get out alive!"
Wisps of aura converged on the scorpion's body, his hands and feet began to become slender, and his loose muscles became tense, and after a while, the scorpion turned into a giant two feet tall.
"Boy, are you underestimating the cultivators of Dragon and Tiger Pass. The poisonous scorpion suddenly flew up to Ma Xie, and his arm was now longer than the arms of the Overlord Flowing Fire and Ma Xie combined, and he punched Ma Xie in the stomach.
Then, the scorpion kicked again, kicking the horse evil away.
The poisonous scorpion didn't intend to give Ma Xie too many chances, and a "bang" suddenly erupted from under his feet, making him jump out like a firecracker, and instantly arrived in front of Ma Xie.
"Die!" the scorpion's fists struck Ma Xie in the stomach like a hammer drum, and Ma Xie fell heavily to the ground.
Fortunately, thanks to his spirit armor, his internal organs were not shattered.
"Heavenly Realm Divine Palm!" The poisonous scorpion turned into a streamer of light, falling from the sky, and two long palms slammed into Ma Xie's chest.
Ma Xie hadn't gotten up from the ground yet, and for some reason, when he was fighting today, he always had a feeling of being powerless, and all his movements seemed to be half a beat slower.
This palm was ferocious, and Ma Xie watched the scorpion's palms grow bigger and bigger, as if he was about to be squashed.
