Chapter 143: Encountering People
Chen Shou was not a fool, and it was easy to guess why the superiors were willing to let these low-level lieutenants go to the big array to search. As soon as three days passed, even the layman of his formation felt that this big array was about to die, and those high-level leaders of the Xuandu Purple Mansion would definitely miss a big deal if they still had the idea of devouring the Fire Light Beast alone.
On the morning of the fourth day, he was helping a guy surnamed Gan who knew the formation to repair the main formation eye, when he suddenly heard someone passing through the air outside at high speed, and at the same time, a shouting voice came: "The people of the Xuandu Purple Mansion are waiting for the order, and at least one person is left in each main formation to guard, and the rest of the people immediately enter the formation to search, and immediately try to warn after discovering the traces of the fire beast, there must be no mistake!"
Chen Shou immediately came to his senses, to be honest, although he had helped to cultivate the main formation eye for three days, he couldn't learn anything at all, this kind of thing had to be learned systematically and step by step, and he didn't want to waste time here for a long time. Although he has the right to control the water dragon in the eyes of this main array, which is very enjoyable, but now there is not even much water in the big array, where else can he control the water dragon.
"Brother Gan, then I won't accompany you. Chen Shou straightened up and smiled.
That Brother Gan is the incarnation of a rare deep mountain plant, with green hair, and his appearance is quite normal, but his expression is relatively stiff, and he said: "Okay, Brother Chen, you go, I am enough to guard here alone, be more careful." ”
"Hmm. ”
After saluting Brother Nagan, Chen Shou came out of the main formation, and he was a little dazed for a while.
Only the edge of this large array still has some water, and there is fire almost everywhere inside, and the field of vision is not very wide. If it weren't for the fact that Chen Shou himself had black fire and was not afraid of other flames, he really wouldn't dare to go in and try his luck. But even if there is black fire, it doesn't mean that he is no danger, even if the physical strength of the fire beast is only one percent, it is enough to kill him in an instant......
Yes, it's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, and now the orders from above are all down, even if you don't want to go, you have to go.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Shou took out a Shadow Talisman and rushed towards the southwest of the Great Array. In order to avoid being too shocking, he also used an ice breath charm to make a look of resisting the flames.
After rushing for more than a mile, the feet became drier and drier, and small cracks had already cracked. Looking ahead, there were not even flames erupting from time to time in those cracks in the ground, and there were flames burning all the way from here to there. However, if you look carefully, you can barely find a way without flames.
Chen Shou continued to move forward, and saw that the flames around him were getting higher and higher, and some were close to a zhang, so he didn't dare to hold it up, and continued to run into the sea of fire from those fireless places.
It is completely conceivable that there must be many people around the Great Array who have fallen into the sea of fire like him at this time, but the water system fire talisman used by those people must be more than just for show, they are much more difficult to act here than Chen Shou.
Soon, those flames completely blocked Chen Shou's vision, but he didn't have the idea of taking out the floating gold leaf and looking for it from above. This is because he had seen it before, and the masters of the Xuandu Purple Mansion had all given up looking for it from the air, if the Fire Light Beast was still alive, it must be better hidden, and it was only possible to find it if it was close to the ground.
But apparently not everyone thought the same as him, and after rushing forward for a moment, he saw a wave of people passing from the low altitude, one by one, who were obviously looking very seriously, but they didn't see him at all.
"Hoo ......"
A particularly loud sound of flames faintly came from the front right, and Chen Shou immediately cheered up and ran over there, completely feeling that his Ice Breath Talisman was rapidly being consumed. Clusters of flames, large and small, had dried the air, and even the space that wasn't supposed to be colored had turned fiery red. In such an environment, even if others have an ice breath charm, they will inevitably feel tired, unbearable heat, and even the danger of being burned, but he has no feeling at all, and I have to say that this is his unique advantage.
Finally, Chen Shou saw the source of the loud fire. Just a few dozen zhang in front of him, there was a large cone-shaped pit on the ground with a path of nearly 100 zhang, and at the bottom of the pit was a flat dark red boulder releasing monstrous flames upward!
Chen Shou immediately thought of the source of that thing, the countless fire bombs that bounced out when the Fire Light Beast decomposed! And this one in the pit in front of him was just one of those countless fire bombs.
After a few breaths at the edge of the pit, a subtle sensation came from his skin.
"Hmm, it's good for my cultivation?" Chen Shou muttered unconsciously.
Anyway, it's all here, Chen Shou simply walked down the edge of the big pit slowly, and as the distance between him and the dark red boulder at the bottom of the pit narrowed, his feeling became clearer and clearer!
"It's really good for me to practice on the edge of this stone!" Chen Shou exclaimed.
The sound of "boom, boom", but his ice breath charm couldn't stand it, and it was rapidly consumed under the surging flames of the dark red boulder, and it would soon disappear completely.
The pale white ice qi around his body became thinner and thinner, but there was no longer ice qi gushing out of his body to make up for it, and at a certain moment, those ice breaths finally disappeared completely, and Chen Shou was completely exposed to the hot air spewed out by the dark red boulder.
It's hot, but it's also cool!
If you meditate here, you will practice at least three times as fast as usual!
Unfortunately, the stone could not be moved back, and he did not have time to stay here to practice......
There are still two days before the big array runs out of energy, and after two days of sitting, the efficiency is only six days after three times, which is not of much use at all.
Shaking his head, Chen Shou carefully observed the boulder again, and saw that there was nothing else suspicious, so he turned around and left.
In this way, he searched forward for a whole day, and although he found nothing, Chen Shou also approached the middle of the great array, and reached the mountains.
Naturally, there is no vegetation on the mountain, and almost half of the area is covered by flames, but the mountain itself is relatively easy to obscure people's vision, and this group of mountains is really an excellent place for Tibetans to hide!
It was precisely because of this thought that Chen Shou came here almost straight, and most of the remaining people in the Xuandu Purple Mansion also came here.
However, it was nothing for thousands of people to take root in the mountains, and Chen Shou looked for two more hours in these flaming mountains, and he didn't even meet a figure.
At this time, it was obviously late at night, but Chen Shou, who was in the midst of the mountains and fires, almost did not feel the darkness at all, and only when he looked up at the sky directly above could he see a faint dark cyan. The large array within a radius of thousands of miles was full of flames, which was enough to turn night into day.
Except for the people of the Xuandu Purple Mansion and the Fire Light Beast that didn't know what state it had become, there were no other creatures in this vast area. It is really maddening that so many people search the mountains and search for the sea of fire, just to find the fire beast, but they can't find it when they are time-consuming and laborious. Although Chen Shou didn't see anyone, he heard the impatient roars and scolding of some people from afar.
However, Chen Shou was okay, because in this group of mountains, the fire beasts spewed out more fireballs when they disintegrated, and Chen Shou would feel quite comfortable when passing near them.
Soon, another three hours passed, and Chen Shou had completely penetrated into the mountains. During this time, he not only met several waves of governors, but even a few high-level officials of the Xuandu Purple Mansion.
Obviously, everyone felt that the Flame Beast was the easiest to hide in the mountains.
However, almost everyone's face was not good-looking, because by this time, there was only one last day and one night left before the collapse of the Great Array! Moreover, one day and one night was not an accurate number, and the Great Array was likely to break down in advance!
In the early morning of the last day, everyone subconsciously quickened their pace, and if they didn't find out the fire beast, they probably wouldn't have a chance!
As soon as the speed was fast, the chances of everyone meeting were greatly increased, and Chen Shou met many people again, but all of them staggered by without even bothering to say hello, and the atmosphere was quite tense.
Soon halfway through the morning, Chen Shou unconsciously came to the foot of the east side of a hill. Looking up, the hill was burned bare, and it looked quite smooth, but there was still a flame burning tenaciously.
There is nothing to hide on this bare hill, Chen Shou didn't plan to climb the mountain to take a look, and was about to leave, when he suddenly heard a voice from the south side of the hill.
"Your Majesty, are you so sure that the Flame Beast isn't dead?" said a young man, rather impatiently.
"Back to the little marquis, if the fire beast is really dead, it will not even melt the corpse completely. In this situation, it must be that the beast's spirit is not smart enough, and it does not know how to hide it when it uses the last means of preserving its life, so it has revealed such a big flaw. A voice immediately answered.
"The little marquis came to the Dongqing Divine Wilderness to play, and it was the opportunity of the little marquis to meet this grand feat of besieging the fire beast, and now there is still a day and a night to go, and the chance for us to find out the fire beast is still very great!"
Chen Shou heard it clearly, and he didn't know where the little marquis came from, anyway, it had nothing to do with him, so he changed his direction and left.
However, after walking a few steps, a few people over there had already bypassed the foot of the mountain and saw his back, and immediately one of them shouted: "Chen Shou?!!"
Chen Shou didn't mean to avoid anyone at all, he didn't walk fast, but he never thought that someone over there would recognize him just by seeing his back. How could a bunch of outsiders know him?
No, the sound seems a little familiar!
After turning these thoughts between the lightning and flint, Chen Shou had turned around and saw the people who appeared at the foot of the mountain.
