Chapter 4 Snooping
In Zhao Yu's eyes, the fifteen islands in the center of the lake, together with the bridges connecting the fifteen islands, the city walls of the islands and the fifteen cities behind the city walls, together with the Taoist patterns engraved on them, built a relatively simple island. The big five elements array.
Except for the city on the big island in the center, which has a magic weapon to suppress the energy, probably the formation eye, the rest are all constructed with talismans and Dao patterns.
If there are fifteen magic weapons to suppress each island and a perfect formation can be constructed, and only a large formation can be set up, where will there be room for the monster in the lake to survive? Not to mention fifteen magic weapons, just one can clean up this big lake.
With only a mere magic weapon as the formation eye and talismans and Dao patterns as the formation base, it is no wonder that it has no great power. It can only explode once in a while and passively respond to the enemy.
Zhao Yu looked at the big island in the middle and saw something along the way.
You can get a rough idea of the population trapped on the islands in the lake without counting too much. Except for the big island in the center, each of the other fourteen islands has almost a million people living there. The big island in the middle is actually sparsely populated. At a glance, there are only a thousand auras, but they are all powerful. They are clearly monks in the Qing Realm that have surpassed the existence of mortals.
However, there are only three paths in the Dharma Image Realm.
The rest are insignificant.
There should be nearly 20 million people in the fourteen surrounding islands. Fortunately, these islands are quite vast, otherwise they would not be able to support them.
Most of these living people are young and strong, few are old and weak, and the number of men far exceeds that of women. It's not surprising when you think about it. It's like the end of the world. In such a harsh environment, naturally only the strong can survive until now.
Along the way, I saw the strong ones holding troops, while the weak ones were either farming behind the city walls, or repairing and making weapons, and taking on all logistical matters. But there are also some in rags and dying of hunger, lingering in the shadows behind the city walls.
Zhao Yu didn't find it strange either. First of all, the monsters in the lake produced by the influence of evil spirits are exactly the same as the walking dead on land, and the weakest ones are comparable to the powerful beings. Although this is a legal universe, the average strength of mortals is inferior to that of monsters. And when it comes to fighting monsters, strength comes second, and courage comes first. There are definitely not a few people who have courage. After ten years of hard work, you can still get some points. But there are always weak people who cannot be put on the stage, rotten wood that cannot be carved, cowards who cannot develop courage no matter what, and logistics work does not require so many people. Such people naturally have no resource supply and can only wait to die.
Among the nearly 20 million people, Zhao Yu saw that about half of them had eyes, limbs, a nose and a mouth like him. Although the rest are all humanoid, they either have an extra eye, an extra pair of hands, or horns on their foreheads, and their skin colors are also different.
Even in the universe, there are alien lives that are not similar to humans on earth. Not to mention this Dharma universe? Therefore, Zhao Yu didn't find it strange.
His consciousness covered thousands of miles, and while he was running away, he took a clear look at the living person trapped in a corner, and then he reached the island in the middle.
Zhao Yu, wearing a Taoist robe, put his hands behind his hands and raised his head, and saw a stone tower rising thousands of feet high in the city. There is a bright light on the top of the tower, and a jewel hangs on it. The vastness of Yuan Qi gives people a blazing energy. There are few buildings in this city, only a few hundred, all surrounding stone towers to form a formation. The nearly a thousand energy refining realms all come from these buildings.
The Qi machines of the three Dharma Realms are all on the top of the stone tower and have never changed their positions.
Zhao Yu stepped forward, his body blending into the heaven and earth, and Yuan Qi, and he easily passed through the formation protecting the stone tower without causing any ripples, and arrived inside the stone tower.
...
The top floor of the stone tower is a bit narrow, and there are three people sitting there, one woman and two men, all wearing Eguan Bodai. Normally, he would look like a noble person, elegant and elegant, but at this time, his face was filled with sadness.
Among them, the female has eyes between her eyebrows, her eyebrows are like knives, her face is tough, and her Qi is slightly stronger than the other two.
At this time, the woman said: "It has been ten years and there is still no news from the sect."
The two people on the side were sad, and one person sighed: "No news for ten years, I'm afraid..."
Another person said: "Senior sister, in my opinion, this place is not strong enough to defend. Without the sect's rescue, you and I will not be able to defend it sooner or later. Why not make plans in advance?"
Hearing this, the female crown raised her sword eyebrows slightly: "How are you doing?"
The man considered for a moment and said: "The Great Five Elements Formation can still be maintained for a while. It is better to move all those who have been promoted to the Refining Realm before the Divine Corpse Cult takes action, so that we can have an explanation when we return to the sect."
Another person couldn't help but refute him: "What about the 20 million people?"
The person who spoke before spread his hands and said: "If you and I can't protect you, how can we care about these mortals?"
As he said that, he looked at Nu Guan: "Senior sister, you know better than me what the situation has been like in the past ten years. You and I have been practicing for hundreds of years and have finally become a Dharma image. Are we going to be lost in the hands of the beasts of the Corpse Cult? The sect? Without help, dozens of our brothers and sisters are scattered all over the world, and we cannot communicate with each other from a distance. For the current plan, what other way is there but to walk?"
Having said this, he also looked serious and said to another person: "Junior brother, it's not that I don't pity these 20 million people, it's that I'm incapable!"
The person who rebutted opened his mouth but was speechless.
The female crown pondered for a moment and said: "What junior brother said is not unreasonable. It's just that... with the usual methods of the Corpse Cult, this star may have been blocked long ago. Even if you and I leave, I'm afraid we won't be able to get out."
"But it's better than waiting to die here." The man said: "Senior Sister Lanyun, the blockade of the Corpse Cult can only block the starry sky route unless the Earth Immortal personally comes. Although there are many dangers outside the route, there are always There is a glimmer of hope. But if you stay here without outside help, you will definitely die."
The three people argued and discussed, each with their own reasons, and it was difficult to reach a definite conclusion.
Such quarrels have occurred countless times in the past year or two.
Before, there were still some extravagant hopes, hoping that the sect would come to help, but now it has been ten years! You must know that in the past, when sending messages to the sect, the response would not exceed ten years at the latest.
As a result, the three people gradually lost confidence and became more and more worried.
"With the methods of the Corpse Cult, ten years is almost enough. If we don't leave, within one or two years, those beasts will carry out the final harvest, and you and I will die here."
The person who said this pointed to the top of his head again: "How can this thirty-six-level Xuanyang Pearl protect you and me?!"
The tough female crown couldn't help showing a hint of tangle. She stood up, walked to the window, looked into the distance, and sighed repeatedly: "I was born here, grew up here, and in the end, even my hometown relatives can't protect me! I cultivated What kind of immortal is it?!”
She looked sad: "That's it, that's all, let's go, let's go."
Already feeling depressed, he said for a long time: "You two junior brothers, please go down and get ready."
She shook her sleeves feebly.
