Chapter 68: Breaking the Formation
In the slow sound of discussion, it didn't take long for the middle-aged man to tell Zhou Nan and the three of them where he was going this time. Without stopping long, the four of them rose up with their swords, turned into four rays of light, and flew into the distance.
Two hours later, the four of them crossed the small grassland and plunged headlong into the deep mountains with deep roots and dense forests. The terrain of the deep mountains is treacherous, and it is shrouded in fog all year round. It is a place where fierce beasts are rampant and ghosts are infested in the mouths of mortals, and there is a great terror in it, and no one dares to enter it without permission. But it is precisely such a place that separates the immortal cultivation world from the world, and there is little contact.
For an immortal cultivator like Zhou Nan, there is no difference between traveling at night and during the day. Although there is a fog blocking the view, as long as the mana is attached to the eyes, this obstruction is not a problem.
When he first entered the deep mountains, Zhou Nan only found some fierce beasts and birds that haunted at night, although they were fierce, they were nothing. But as it gradually deepened, some strangely shaped, ferocious and abnormal demon beasts also appeared. But they are all first-order demon beasts, and for the four of them, they still can't pose a threat.
Therefore, the four of them flew over the territory of the first-order demon beasts one by one without any stop. After walking deep into the mountains for half an hour, the middle-aged man slowed down, took out a sheepskin map, and examined it carefully.
It didn't take long for everyone to see a bare hill.
Seeing the hill, the middle-aged man let out a long sigh of relief, and the sword light flashed and fell to the ground. put away the map, and said slowly to the three Zhou Nan who had landed, "Three Taoist friends, this is the place." ”
Hearing this, the tall monk Lei Gang raised his head with interest and looked at the hill carefully, but then frowned, "Han Daoyou, are you sure this is the place? ”
Zhou Nan also did some probing, whether it was the Divine Mind or the Heavenly Eye Technique, he did not find any abnormalities. His eyes glanced at the short monk Lei Lie, who was also confused. Obviously, I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in the middle-aged man's gourd.
Hearing Lei Gang's question, the middle-aged man smiled, "The three Taoist friends are not in a hurry, and by chance, they found a map of ancient times in Fang City, and they knew that there was such a place in Lu Dao." Although this place looks ordinary, it is the place marked on the map. The formation I didn't want to crack is here. ”
After listening to the middle-aged man's explanation, Lei Lie smiled, "Since Han Daoyou is sure, then it can't be wrong." If it was so easy to spot anomalies here, it wouldn't have been our turn to find them, and we would have been the first to get there. ”
"Okay, a few fellow Daoists, what is going on here, we'll talk about it later. A few Daoists are familiar with the steps of breaking the formation first, and then they will have to rely on your strength a lot. The middle-aged man interrupted the emotion of the three with a wave of his hand, and threw a piece of jade slip to each of them, and said with a blank face.
Seeing this, the three of them didn't mind, smiled slightly, took the jade slip casually, put it on their foreheads, and slowly checked it.
In the jade slip, the operation principle of some small three-talent array ancient formations was recorded, and the cooperation between the three of them when they were cracked. The content is very detailed, and even when and who need to exert force, and how much force should be used, it is very clear. It can be seen that in order to crack this formation, the middle-aged man still put a lot of effort into it.
After a cup of tea, Zhou Nan and the three of them finished reading the jade slip, discussed with each other a little, and figured out what they should do. So they nodded their heads one after another, indicating that they had been prepared.
The middle-aged man nodded with satisfaction, took the map, and walked to the other side of the hill with the three of them.
Twenty zhang apart here, each grows alone with a huge willow tree embraced by several people, which is distributed in a triangular shape. The willow tree was bare, without a single leaf on it, and was somewhat dark in color, except for some thick branches, which continued to exist. Under the dim moonlight, it completely blends in with the night, and it is very hidden. So much so that when he was in the air just now, everyone didn't see it clearly.
On this bare hill, there are three bare willow trees, and sometimes it is dark at night, the moon is dim, and a few terrible beast roars sound from time to time around, and the breeze blows, even if several people are immortal cultivators, they also feel a little weird, and their backs are slightly cold. Unconsciously, I suddenly had a bad feeling in my heart.
Taking a deep breath, the middle-aged man hugged his fists at the three of them, and said solemnly, "The three Daoists didn't see the three willow trees, you just need to follow what the jade slip said just now, one person guards a willow tree." If you touch the formation, you will break the formation at the same time. As soon as the array is broken, as long as you hold on for a quarter of an hour and let you take something, then this cooperation will be considered a success. As for the promised reward, the three Taoist friends can rest assured that they will never break their promises. ”
After listening to the middle-aged man's words, Zhou Nan and the three of them did not hesitate, nodded to each other, and walked towards a willow tree one after another. But as he approached, Zhou Nan suddenly felt a trace of gloomy death. The dead air was wrapped around the willow tree not far away, and he had not noticed it far before, but it was so close that he had goosebumps all over his body.
A hint of ominousness flashed in his heart, Zhou Nan frowned, and applied a mana shield to himself, blocking the erosion of this trace of dead qi. But even so, Zhou Nannan was not at ease, but more vigilant.
It didn't take long for the middle-aged man to pull out a small flag and stand in the center of the three willow trees. With the sound of strange spells, as one spell after another was played, circles of black mist slowly drifted out of the small flags, becoming bigger and bigger. With the constant whimpering mountain wind, it looks very eerie and terrifying.
After half a cup of tea, the black mist expanded to the size of dozens of zhang, completely enveloping the three willow trees. Zhou Nan and the three of them did not hesitate, they shouted, and they all quickly played one after another law decisions, and as the three of them played out the law decisions, the black mist suddenly buzzed, and with a muffled sound of 'bang', it slowly rotated.
The black mist turned faster and faster, and gradually made a whistling sound.
The three of Zhou Nan kept changing their spells, and the mana output was sometimes high and low. Between the ups and downs, it's like playing the piano, very hard. After a while, with a 'boom' sound, the three willow trees shook violently, emitting firelight.
The fire grew bigger and bigger, and in a short time the whole tree was enclosed. Immediately after, three lines of fire connected the three willow trees, forming a huge triangular fire-colored shroud, enveloping the swirling black mist inside.
Gradually, as the three of them did not hesitate to consume a lot of mana and forcibly infused a large amount of mana, the black mist slammed and tumbled violently.
Seeing that the time was ripe, the middle-aged man in the formation suddenly shouted, and the black mist shrank suddenly, and with a 'boom', it burst open. The explosion produced a huge impact, causing the triangular hood outside to shake violently. It didn't take long for the fire cover to creak and crack a huge crack.
After a while, as the black mist continued to pour out of the cracks, the fire cover could no longer support it, and let out a wail, and with a 'bang', it turned into a little fire, scattered with the wind, and disappeared.
As the mountain breeze blew, it didn't take long for the black fog to gradually dissipate. The three of Zhou Nan, who were sitting cross-legged, ignored the weakness of the mana, opened their eyes curiously, and looked straight over, with a fiery face.
I saw that the hill, which was bare and nothing a moment ago, has changed dramatically at this time. The open space between the three willow trees has formed a deep pit about thirty zhang deep at this moment. The pit was in the shape of an inverted cone, and the middle-aged man was standing at the bottom of the pit with his hands dancing, stepping on the purple-red giant coffin under his feet, and laughing madly.
Zhou Nan looked at the giant coffin carefully, the distance of more than thirty years could not affect him. Seeing a flash of blue in his eyes, he ignored the restrictions of distance and darkness, and looked at the black of the giant coffin from head to toe.
The giant coffin is made of bronze, and there are a large number of strange patterns on it, including insects, fish, birds and beasts. After the soil was swept away by the black mist, there was not a trace of soil left on the bronze coffin, but after thousands of years of burial, a lot of patina was still generated on the bronze coffin. It looks very old, and it's obviously not an ordinary thing.
The middle-aged man laughed for a while, then took out a long knife magic weapon from the storage bag and slashed it on the bronze giant coffin, but what made people bite out their tongues was that the blow of this high-grade long knife magic weapon only pulled out a long spark on the bronze giant coffin. The bronze coffin was still intact, not even a piece of patina had fallen off. On the contrary, because of the excessive force, the long knife magic weapon was hit with many gaps.
Looking at the long knife full of gaps, the middle-aged man's face became solemn, but there was more greed in his eyes. You can imagine how precious the inner contents would be if even an outer coffin was so strong! He cried out in his heart, unable to hold back his excitement.
Jumping off the coffin and standing on the ground, the middle-aged man took a deep breath and took out five yellow-rank middle-grade giant power talismans in a row and slapped them on his body. I saw a flash of golden light from the giant power talisman, and the middle-aged man was like blowing up a balloon, inflating at a speed visible to the naked eye. After a while, it was a big circle, and his arms were even as thick as Zhou Nan's thighs.
The middle-aged man who had grown bigger smiled, then lifted the long knife, and with a sharp force, stuffed it into the gap of the bronze giant coffin, and used the long knife as a crowbar. With a flick of the arms, the force was added.
