Chapter 273: Formation traps demons (two chapters in one)

The second-level peak monster beast is equivalent to the cultivation level of a human monk at the peak of foundation building, and its physical body is powerful. It can advance and attack in the cold pool, and retreat and defend.

With the strength of the three of them, they will definitely be able to defeat the Yinming Spirit Snake. There will be no problem in defeating or even killing it in the end. But the monster's body is strong and powerful, and it is impossible to kill it quickly. It is hard to say how long this process will take.

Monsters have physical bodies that are as strong as magic weapons and have strong vitality and tenacity. The attacks of magic weapons on their bodies are not as fatal as those of humans. It may become a time-consuming and protracted fight.

But don't forget that this is in the Venus branch where monsters are everywhere. If time goes on, other monsters may be alerted, and there may be golden elixir monsters "passing by".

"Don't worry, fellow Taoists, we have already made sufficient preparations for this trip to Pindao."

"Snake monsters like to eat rats, frogs, insects and other monsters most, and the Yinming Spirit Snake is no exception. Pindao has prepared the bait."

"At that time, we can try to lure the Yinming Spirit Snake out of the cold pool, and we can deal with this beast calmly."

Qingsong Laodao explained.

It can be seen that this person has made a lot of preparations for this trip, even taking into account the habits of the Yinming Spirit Snake.

"It turns out that fellow Daoist Qingsong has already thought everything through, but it was Hong who was overly worried."

"But the distance of four hundred and eighty miles is still too deep. There are second-order monsters all around, and there may be third-order monsters passing by at any time."

After hearing this, Liu Yu nodded slowly and then said.

"It is precisely because of this that a quick victory is needed, so Pindao will invite two fellow Taoists. When the time comes to start a fight, please don't hide your clumsiness."

"The sooner we kill that beast, the less risk we will face, and the sooner we can get the information about the spiritual objects that Fellow Daoist Hong and Fellow Daoist Cang need."

Qingsong Lao Dao said solemnly, implying that only after he gets his things, he will inform the two of them of the information and formula they need.

Naturally, the two agreed verbally to this statement. As for what they were thinking in their hearts, only they knew.

After thirty miles, the traces of the monks gradually became sparse, the trees in the forest became taller and taller, and the weeds everywhere were over half a foot high.

The monks who met occasionally had deep vigilance in each other's eyes.

There is no order here, and the Yuanyang Sect will not control any behavior of the monks in the mountains.

Even if someone openly kills people to seize treasures, they will not be held accountable, which has given rise to many "evil cultivators".

This is an out-and-out "lawless place."

Monsters are powerful and powerful, and hunting them is time-consuming and labor-intensive. There are also various risks involved in the process. How can any monk find it easy to hunt them down?

Therefore, some "nimble-minded" monks enter the mountains not to hunt monsters and treasures, but to target other monks.

They often do not target the monks who have just entered the mountains. Instead, they focus on those monks or teams who have lost strength after returning from monster hunting, but may gain a lot, and maximize the benefits of every move.

Therefore, when you venture into the mountains to hunt monsters, you must not only be wary of monsters, but also be careful of other monks.

Jinxingfang City developed because of the continuous flow of monks who entered the branch line to hunt monsters.

Such behavior, of course, harmed the interests of Fangshi, so the Yuanyang Sect took no action, but Fangshi's self-organized crackdowns never stopped.

It's just that the benefits of the non-capital business are too great, and the spiritual stones come too quickly, so evil cultivators are like weeds. Once they are cut, another crop will soon grow, and cultivators will continue to join in.

Even monks who originally planned to enter the mountains to hunt monsters sometimes couldn't help but take action when they saw that other monks were injured due to monster hunting.

Therefore, many monks who are familiar with each other will form a team and enter together, so that they can look after each other and it will be much safer.

However, as the Tao is higher than the devil is higher, many evil cultivating groups that specialize in killing people and seizing treasures have also emerged.

However, under the attack of Jinxingfang City, the number and scale of evil cultivators have been firmly restricted, which will not have much impact on the development of Fang City.

The cultivation bases of Liu Yu and the other two people were all above the middle stage of foundation building. Naturally, there were no discerning monks who came to disturb them. After sensing the cultivation bases of the three of them, all the monks they met stayed away for fear of falling into prey.

In the first half of the mountain range, Liu Yu and the others hurried on without saying a word, passing through forests, rivers, swamps and other terrains, trying to choose an inconspicuous position to move forward.

The monsters within the first two hundred miles of the branch basically did not reach the second level, so the three of them generally moved forward in a straight line, and occasionally passed through the territory of monsters without deliberately taking detours.

It is the instinct of living things to seek good fortune and avoid harm, to bully the weak and fear the strong, and Liu Yu and the others, who have reached the foundation building stage, are undoubtedly high-end "predators" for these first-order monsters.

How can a thin wolf dare to challenge the majesty of a colorful giant tiger?

Even if they are directly intruded into their territory, most of them do not attack, but just make ferocious roars of unknown meaning.

And those monsters that took the initiative to attack naturally became corpses under the magic of magic weapons.

"Puch"

While running, Liu Yu suddenly waved his hand and threw out a two-foot-long arc-shaped wind blade.

Cut a leopard-like monster with red eyes, pitch-black body and sharp claws into two parts, causing its body to separate and completely lose its life breath.

"The mantis' arm is like a chariot"

His spiritual consciousness had already observed everything clearly. Liu Yu faced the front with a calm expression, there was no wave in his eyes, and his figure only paused slightly.

Although he does not have wind-attribute spiritual roots, after all, where his realm is, it is still very easy to learn the simplest wind blade technique.

The wind blade swung by the foundation-building cultivator was not something that this first-order mid-level monster could resist.

Monsters have the instinct to seek good fortune and avoid harm, and they also have the instinct to defend their territory.

Some monsters with a strong sense of territory will attack enemies who invade their territory at all costs, even if the enemy is far stronger than themselves.

However, these extremely territorial monsters were only a handful after all, and could not pose any obstacle to Liu Yu, Qingsong Laodao, and Cang Lan, and they could be solved without any effort.

This place is the territory of monsters. Even though the three of them are powerful, they are not arrogant. Therefore, when entering the mountains, there is no flying weapon, and the speed of using wind control is also strictly controlled, and you must pay attention to the surrounding situation at all times.

It took nearly an hour to advance a distance of two hundred miles.

Two hundred miles into the mountains, foundation-building monsters and groups of monsters have begun to appear. Liu Yu and Qingsong Laodao adjusted their strategies in time. They no longer simply and roughly walked through the monster territory, but selectively bypassed the territory before continuing forward. OK.

When we arrived at this place, the monks we met were basically no longer in the Qi Refining stage, they were all Foundation Establishment stage monks or teams.

Even if the foundation-building monks are here, they must be careful to avoid encountering powerful monsters and putting them in danger.

Because they had to bypass the monster territory and the danger level here was further increasing, the three of them slowed down in unison, and the speed was even slower for the rest of the journey.

Occasionally, I encountered a team of three or five monks, and they faced each other from a distance without any conflict.

Suddenly, Liu Yu paused and looked expressionlessly at the three monks by a river a few miles away.

There were a man and two women on the other side. The man was a big man with beards, and the two women were dressed in revealing and gaudy clothes. The man with the beards who had the highest level of cultivation was in the middle stage of foundation building, and the other two women were in the early stage of foundation building.

The two sides faced off at a distance for four or five breaths before they separated themselves far apart and went their separate ways.

This situation happened several times, and this time it seemed to be just an inconspicuous episode. Liu Yu and the others continued on their way.

…

After changing their strategies, the three of them no longer took the initiative to kill monsters to avoid attracting more powerful monsters, and the number of battles with monsters plummeted.

After many detours along the way, the speed was more than twice as slow as before.

Three hours later, the three people who bypassed a small swamp came to a forest. The old Qingsong Dao who was leading the way finally stopped.

"Two fellow Taoists, not far ahead is the Black Snake Pond. The thing that the poor Taoist seeks and the Yinming Spirit Snake are in it."

Old Taoist Qingsong stood solemnly in front of him and said in a low voice.

Liu Yu nodded slightly when he heard the words. He already held the thick earth sky umbrella in his hand, which was in a semi-activated state and could be used to resist attacks at any time.

Ever since he entered the area with the foundation-building monsters, his spiritual consciousness has not been withdrawn. He always pays attention to all the movements within three miles with himself as the center, even the underground.

The innate spells of monsters are all kinds of strange, and they might be able to hide their aura or escape from the ground, so Liu Yu couldn't help but be careful.

After discussing for a while, how to deal with the Yinming Spirit Snake later, the three of them continued to move forward.

The temperature gradually dropped, and after walking for about three miles, a cold pool came into view.

This pool is about twenty feet wide and thirty feet long. The water in the pool is light blue and its depth is unknown. There is a trace of cold air coming out of the pool, causing the surrounding temperature to drop a lot.

This is the Black Snake Pond mentioned by Qingsong Lao Tao.

The three of them nodded to each other and determined the wind outlet according to the plan discussed in advance. Finally, it was determined that the west side of Hantan is the upwind outlet, and the wind here blows from west to east.

After arriving at a distance of about four miles to the west of Hantan, Qingsong Lao Taoist took out nine array disks, selected a suitable location and buried them, then installed several medium-grade spiritual stones, and then placed a bloody monster corpse in the center of the formation. .

According to Qingsong Laodao, this is the body of the second-order Purple Swamp Frog, which he bought at a large price for this operation.

The Purple Swamp Frog's body contains a lot of spiritual energy, and it is also the favorite of snake monsters. The Yinming Spirit Snake cannot let go after smelling it. The west wind will blow the smell to the cold pool. Liu Yu and the others only need to wait quietly for the monster to appear. Can.

As for the formation, it is a second-level mid-level trapping formation. Although it is impossible to trap the Yinming Spirit Snake forever, there is still no problem in trapping it for a short period of time.

And with the restraint of three people, it was impossible for the Yinming Spirit Snake to attack the formation with all its strength.

A gentle breeze blew by, blowing the bloody smell of the Purple Swamp Frog towards the cold pool. Liu Yu, Cang Lan, and Qingsong Laodao each used their spells to hide in the woods, and restrained their auras, waiting for the monster to appear.

As a result, the Yinming Spirit Snake would not be able to find their traces unless they searched carefully.

"Is there any problem with this formation?"

Hiding behind a tall tree and using the invisibility technique to make his figure disappear, a question arose in Liu Yu's mind.

Then this question was quickly rejected. The formation disk that Qingsong Lao Dao took out was indeed very ordinary. Although he was not familiar with the formation, he still understood the basic common sense.

The formation relies on the special arrangement of "nodes" to connect with each other, stimulating and leveraging the natural power of heaven and earth. Its power largely depends on whether the "nodes" are arranged ingeniously and skillfully, as well as the quality and stability of the "nodes" Sex and so on.

The formation method arranged through the array disk and the formation flag will play the role of a part of the "node". Although it is simple, convenient and fast, whether it is powerful or not depends to a large extent on the quality of the formation disk.

The quality of the formation disk is average. No matter how cleverly arranged it is, the power of heaven and earth that can be mobilized is limited, and the power of the formation will not and cannot be any higher.

Therefore, Liu Yu denied the possibility that there was a problem with this formation, but his wariness towards Qingsong Lao Dao did not diminish at all.

The scene in front of him was very similar to the "Appointment to Hunt for Treasures" in "The Essentials of Demonic Cultivation". It was like an adapted version, which made him have to doubt it.

What's more, Qingsong Lao Dao has a certain reputation among casual cultivators, and he can definitely invite some familiar casual cultivators. Why would he invite himself and Canlan, who are unfamiliar to him?

Hong Hao, the pseudonym of Liu Yu, and Cang Lan, who is suspected to be a monk from the Yuling Sect, have no local roots. If they disappear suddenly, they will not attract attention at all!

Regardless of whether he has hidden evil intentions, his own strength is the key to Liu Yu's courage to go to the appointment!

If his "virtue" was not enough, then it would be impossible to obtain the Canglang Spiritual Water formula today, as well as the pill-forming spiritual objects and his net worth.

Everything will be revealed after killing and repelling the Yinming Spirit Snake.

"But, what role does Cang Lan play in driving spiritual beasts and spiritual insects?"

Liu Yu looked at Canglan's position, thoughts flashing through her mind.

However, he did not use his spiritual consciousness to observe, because the spiritual consciousness of monks who drive spiritual beasts and spiritual insects is generally stronger, and their skills in this area are also better than ordinary monks.

At present, Liu Yu has only scratched the surface of the magical method, so it's better to be careful.

A quarter of an hour, half an hour, and an hour passed, and there was still no movement in the light blue pool, but the three of them still waited motionless.

A good hunter has enough patience.

The second-level peak monster, which is located close to the depths of the branch of Venus, can also be regarded as the overlord of the party, so there are no other powerful monsters in its territory.

And those weak monsters also know that Hantan is the residence of the "overlord", and they dare not approach it due to its majesty.

Therefore, there are no other monsters around Hantan.

Old Taoist Qingsong used some tricks to make the purple swamp frog's bloody smell only float towards the direction of the cold pool, without having to worry about other monsters being attracted to it.

In the woods, the chirping of insects gradually began to sound again, rising and falling one after another, playing a natural movement.

Circles of ripples appeared, and finally, two hours later, the situation changed.

"Wow"

In the light blue water, the ripples became larger and larger, and finally a huge body appeared with a clear sound of water breaking.

This is a giant snake with a gray-black body and blue lines on its surface.

Flat snake head, light blue cold vertical pupils, huge body.

There were two raised bulges on its lower abdomen, and the small part above the water was more than a foot long. The snake's body was much thicker than a bucket.

The power of an apex predator is released naturally.

The sound of insects in the woods disappeared in an instant, and silence returned.
