Chapter Forty-Two(1/2)
Wu Liang and Alex flew over the lonely forest and looked up at the endless dark forest under the night sky. Wu Liang said to Alex: "I want to try a few tricks. You can stand by for me."
Protector, please don’t let anyone appear in the forest within a radius of twenty miles, okay?”
"Don't worry, except God, I don't think anyone can get close to you. Just cast spells. I also want to see the Taoism of this cultivator." Alex agreed without hesitation. Immediately, a majestic figure appeared.
The dragon's power burst out, startling countless birds and beasts. Wu Liang quickly stopped and asked Alex to take back the dragon's power, saying: "Don't startle too much, just explore and don't let anyone get close."
After saying that, Wu Liang flew into the air and recited the "Purification Mantra" again. Because he didn't have any magic weapon, he couldn't wear clothes, let alone the altar and the objects for fasting sacrifices, so he had to cast a large-scale magic spell.
It's impossible, but according to Wu Liang's current cultivation of returning to the void, ordinary spells can still be cast with the help of Tao power. Therefore, Wu Liang had to retreat and do the next best thing. Wu Liang took out the peach wood sword and raised the flag.
, using his great supernatural powers, he uprooted eight clumps of trees for several miles around him, and prepared to set up the Bagua formation. He muttered words: "One bow to the first hurdle in Jizhou, two bows to the nine departures to Nanyang, three bows to Maoshang Zhenqingzhou, four bows to Qingzhou.
Youdui passed through the Western Liang, and on the fifth day he paid homage to Hai Qian and Yongzhou, six times he paid homage to Si and Xun Xuzhou City, seven times he paid homage to Shen Kun Jingzhou boundary, and eight times he paid homage to Yin Gen Yanzhou city. The disciples of Xingtan entered the middle palace." The steps under your feet are made of steel and step, according to the day after tomorrow.
The Eight Diagrams Step Gang Diagram shows the Yu steps, three steps and nine traces, and the expression is very majestic and solemn.
With the support of Taoist forces, the eight clusters of trees followed Wu Liang's spells and laid out the Bagua array one by one within a radius of ten miles according to the acquired Bagua directions. When the formation was completed, a huge Bagua array diagram was visible.
Now, Wu Liang took back his command flag and peach wood sword, stood up and twisted his palms to twist the seal, and offered up the human letter seal, which is also the treasure seal of victory of all spirits. He stepped on the seven-star Yugang step, intending to use the method of moving the sky and moving the earth.
Under the control of Wu Liang, the Dharma seal floated in the air. According to the eight trigrams directions, it was printed on each hexagram in turn against the faint formation diagram. The seal of the human letter seal was printed on the eight formation diagrams.
After that, he quickly integrated into the formation and disappeared without a trace. From then on, the formation was completed, Wu Liang took back the seal and floated to Alex's side.
"What formation is this? What does it do?" Alex withdrew his consciousness and asked.
"It was originally an eight-formation diagram, but I improved it and added some magic to move the sky and move the earth. You will know the magical effects when the time comes." Wu Liang smiled slightly and did not give a detailed explanation.
"Is it for the temple or the monsters in the lonely forest?" Alex asked again.
"It can be both, or it can be neither." Wu Liang replied, then turned and left, "Let's go, we'll know tomorrow."
So the two of them flew back to the camp and had an uneventful night.
Early the next morning, everyone was ready to go into the mountains and cross the thousand canyons.
Thousand Canyons is located in the hinterland of the Tailoki Mountains, with a depth of fifty miles. The terrain in the valley is peculiar, and the mountain structures are unique, but extremely steep. Along the mountain walls or ancient roads, some people with strong cultivation occasionally take this route to shorten their journey.
Therefore, it is difficult for ordinary people to pass by. Due to the changes in the mountain topography, there is uneven cold and heat in the valley. Various monsters come and go. In order to make money, some small mercenary groups will occasionally enter the valley not far away to hunt some low-level people.
However, because many ordinary monsters will not come outside, and most of the monsters that come out are flying types, so in the past hundred years, few mercenary groups have come here to hunt monsters.
After walking up the mountain road, they turned an intersection and everyone began to enter the Thousand Canyons. Nicholas, who was leading the way, said to the people behind him: "From now on, everyone must keep their spirits up. This place is not like other places.
Be careful, you may slip and fall down the mountain path, and there are many kinds of monsters here. To exaggerate, there are endless ones, so be careful to protect yourself."
When the members of the Divine Mercenary Group sandwiched between Harold and Nicholas heard this, they immediately cheered up and immediately stood in the shape of a team ready to fight at any time. Nicholas nodded with satisfaction and said: "Let's go.
." Then he turned around and explored step by step, also very carefully.
In fact, Nikolai and Harold could have just flown over like Wu Liang and Alex, but because Wu Liang said they wanted to ensure everyone's safety, they had no choice but to follow the divine mercenary group over one after another.
When Anita saw the two sword masters like this, she did not fly up, but followed Harold, also walking on the mountain road step by step.
Although Angus and others appeared to be very focused at this time, they were not nervous at all inside. Angus felt that this mission was about protecting Wu Liang and others, rather than protecting Wu Liang and others.
Although I took the Thousand Canyons route this time, it was a bit risky, and I and others would rarely come here. However, this time there were three saint-level masters around, and Wu Liang and Alex were god-level masters.
There is no suspense. I really hope that there will be more Warcraft and the team members will be able to exercise. Wouldn’t that be a good thing? Thinking of this, Angus couldn’t help but laugh softly, which attracted doubtful looks from everyone.
"Haha, it's okay. Let's keep walking. At this speed, we probably won't be able to leave the valley until noon, don't you think so, Alan?" Angus hugged Alan's shoulders and talked about him. Nicholas
He glared at Angus and said, "Don't be too careless, let's go." Upon hearing this, Angus immediately calmed down and followed.
After walking for about half an hour, everyone also walked through several small rocks and finally entered the valley. Looking at Wu Liang and Alex sitting on the ground in the distance, Sophia ran over and came to
Wu Liang also sat down next to him, then approached Wu Liang and asked in a low voice: "Brother Wu Liang, why did you and your uncle fly here to wait for us first? You made us go so hard and sent us off with your big sword.
Wouldn’t it be convenient to fly there together?”
Opening his eyes, Wu Liang turned his head and glanced at Sophia, and said: "Sofia, think about it, it is certainly convenient to fly there, but if you hope that your companions will have the opportunity to rely on their own strength in the future,
Flying into the sky, then you should agree with my approach, right?"
"I understand, you want us to increase our strength so that we can advance to the saint level in the future, right, brother Wu Liang?" Sophia said with a smile.
"Yes, Sophia is very smart." Wu Liang replied cooperatively. After hearing this, Sophia quickly ran over, apparently to talk to Angus and the others.
"You seem to like this elf very much!" Alex suddenly said.
"It's nothing, I just feel good and feel like a family member." Wu Liang replied nonchalantly.
"Really?" Alex asked in a very skeptical tone.
"Maybe, I don't know for sure." Looking at Sophia in green in the distance, Wu Liang said a little melancholy.
"You don't have a wife yet, right?" Alex asked again.
"What? What do you mean? You mean I like Sophia? Forget it, she is an elf and I am a human. That is not possible. Besides, I have to go back after all, maybe tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow."
Wu Liang quickly defended himself, hoping Alex would understand.
"Don't be so excited. Yes or no, it doesn't matter what I say." Alex sneered at Wu Liang's remarks. After saying this, he stopped saying anything.
After listening to Alex's words, Wu Liang didn't think anything bad. After all, the changes in his mood these days were not due to emotions. They were probably an inevitable phenomenon in the process of martial arts. Besides, there had been nothing bad in the past few days.
influence, so I don’t take it to heart.
After everyone rested for a while, they set off. Wu Liang and Alex flew ahead to wait for them, and those who walked had to go to the place where Wu Liang and Alex flew to before they could rest.
At this time, the sun has illuminated the entire earth. Following the sunlight from the slits in the mountain, everyone moved forward with difficulty. Although some monsters appeared, they were all low-level types, so they were all killed instantly, and everyone was too lazy to go.
Those low-level magic cores should avoid wasting time. Because there are no roads in the valley, all walking can only follow the mountain shape, climb the walls, and squeeze through gaps. Fortunately, everyone except Harold and Anita are
A mercenary who has experienced hundreds of battles, and Harold is a sword master, not to mention physical strength. Although Anita is not a mercenary, she has not been in the army for a long time, and the holy-level magic power in her body is not just for fun. So.
, so far, the group of people is doing well.
However, Nicholas knew in his heart that the really difficult place had not yet reached, and it was estimated that the Sword God would have to take action then.
After walking for nearly half an hour, the eight people came to a flat land. The place was covered with bushes and weeds as tall as one person. The ground was almost full of rainwater. When everyone looked up, they were all shocked. It turned out that this place looked like
It is a natural deep pit, surrounded by bare cliffs hundreds of feet high on all sides. There is no grass growing on it, and it surrounds the flat land with an area of less than five miles square. The only exit that can be seen in front of you is the one you took when you entered.
cave.
"How come there is such a strange big pit?" Angus complained while waving his sword to clear away the bushes next to it, "How can we walk here?"
"Go and take a look first. Maybe there is another exit." Gaddafi said, and then he started to move forward.
"Don't be busy, I feel something is wrong here, it seems like something is staring at us in the dark." Nikolai reached out to stop Gaddafi and asked at the same time: "Brother Harold, do you feel anything?
"
"The smell is not right, the air here is not very good, there is a strange smell." Harold moved his nose, turned twice, and said.
"It has a very strange smell, very much like the smell of some kind of magical beast." Sophia thought for a while and then said it.
"I think so too. It's probably some kind of high-level magical beast hiding here. Everyone should be careful. I think this smell is a bit like the smell of some kind of snake-like magical beast." Vicky said not very sure.
"Snake?" Nicholas felt that it was a bit right, but he couldn't remember that kind of snake had such a smell. "Everyone, take a rest first and regain your strength. We will set off immediately."
After hearing the words, everyone gathered around and sat down, ready to eat something to fill their stomachs. Anita immediately put up a semicircular transparent magic cover to protect everyone inside.
After recovering mentally, under the leadership of Nicholas, the eight people slowly moved forward.
Suddenly, the bushes in front trembled, and then the sound of treading water was heard. Everyone could not help but retreat to a place, standing back to back, preparing to deal with the next incident. However, after waiting for a while, nothing happened.
Happened, the surroundings returned to calm, but in everyone's mind, this silence meant great danger, so everyone still did not separate, for fear of being suddenly attacked.
For a long time, Harold felt that the atmosphere was too depressing, so he raised his sword and quickly rose into the air. At the same time, he slashed forward with his sword, clearing away all the shrubs and weeds about ten meters in front, revealing a path.
.However, after the sword strike, nothing happened, as if the front was really just a bunch of plants. Harold looked around, and everything he saw were mottled plants and clusters of dark gas on the plants.
Everything seems a little weird and unusual.
He flew down, shook his head with Nicholas, and walked to the back of the team, still holding his sword for protection.
Since Harold didn't observe anything, he had no choice but to continue moving forward. Nicholas carefully followed the path cut by Harold, and the others quickly followed suit.
After moving about 500 meters, Nicholas stopped and said to everyone: "We are about to approach the center of this area, and we may encounter danger. Everyone should be alert and not be too far apart.
Don't be careless." Everyone followed the instructions and got closer.
Weaving among shrubs and weeds, everyone tried to keep their figures and movements hidden. In this situation of uncertainty, no one dared to say that they were 100% sure that they could cope with all changes.
As we got closer and closer to the center, the water on the ground became deeper and deeper, almost reaching the knees. In order to prevent the small monsters in the water from attacking, everyone had to use their skills, and those who used swords were lucky.
Fighting energy covered the whole body, and all those who used magic cast protective energy shields, and Sophia was blessed with the holy magic - "Guardian Armor" by Vicky, making Sophia look like she was wearing a white
It's like armor, but when it enters the water, it actually pushes the water away to both sides, so that the water can't touch Sophia's legs at all, which is considered a very good protection.
In this way, everyone sneaked forward for dozens of meters. Suddenly, the ground suddenly swayed left and right, and then it shook up and down a few more times. Nicholas, who was walking at the front, shouted: "No, no!
Everyone, get back!" What appeared in front of them was a huge wave of water coming from the pavement, and Nicholas, Harold, and Anita immediately rose up and jumped into the air. The remaining divine mercenaries
Before the group members had time to prepare, they were crushed by the huge wave, and the ground beneath their feet also sank.
The three people in the air finally saw what was coming.
It turns out that the central area is a pond four to five hundred meters long and wide, covered with green aquatic plants. At this moment, five green python-like water beasts are rolling in the pond, raising a few meters high.
Water waves. Looking at the water beast that was more than one meter thick and more than ten meters long, Harold exclaimed: "Green-eyed anaconda?!" Then he immediately returned to the water and picked up Angus, who had just revealed his head.
To be continued...
