In the following days, Changan did not mention the Earth Binding Formation again, nor did he spend time alone with Song Ling.
He is very busy.
Nanzhen's front line continued to compress backwards, and the mortals were displaced and had to seek shelter from the immortal cultivators, who were simply risking their lives to prevent the spread of the monsters.
Song Ling wasn't much better.
In just ten days, Song Ling witnessed a hell-like scene on earth, with torn corpses everywhere, the earth cracked, and deep chasms bubbling with hot magma.
There are unknown monsters in the magma.
Even if you are even slightly close to the deep chasm, you will be quickly dragged into the deep chasm by those monster beasts with dense tentacles, and you will die without even a scream.
In the past, those who were powerful, those who sought immortality, or ordinary people were all mixed together in the end and became food for monsters.
No one is immune.
It's not hopeless.
After all, the immortals in the five towns still have the three-realm formation to use, but activating the three-realm formation is extremely energy-consuming and takes a long time.
The most direct impact of that incident three hundred years ago was——
When Immortal Dao Yi was swallowed by the monster, he didn't even have time to fight back.
…
…
When Song Ling dragged her exhausted body back to the stronghold, what was waiting for her was not Senior Brother Chang'an's embrace or Qilin's teasing.
The ground is covered with blood.
It is Chang'an who is dying.
"What's going on? How could it be so seriously injured?" Song Ling threw herself on the bed with a pale face.
But no matter how Song Ling tried to detect Chang An's breathing, Chang An was still lifeless. If it weren't for his heaving chest at this moment, Song Ling would have thought that Chang An was dead.
"It's a fat man." Qilin sat at the end of the bed, his robe still stained with blood, "Senior Brother Chang'an's team was completely wiped out. When I rushed over, Senior Brother Chang'an was already unconscious. Fortunately, his spirit was still there, and I intercepted and protected him.
In his body."
Qilin's words were like a heavy hammer hitting Song Ling's head, causing her eyes to turn black.
She couldn't hear anything anymore.
A buzzing sound filled her head.
"A Ling..." Qilin reached out and pulled Song Ling into his arms, patted her back again and again, and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, A Ling, senior brother Chang'an will be fine."
With tears streaming down her face, Song Ling raised her head, sniffing, and asked, "How to save him? Tell me, how to save him?"
Why did Fat Yi appear in Nanzhen?
Isn’t this the ferocious beast from West Town?
Or is it that South Town is already about to collapse, so West Town is also on the verge of collapse?
"Right now, I have stabilized Senior Brother Chang'an's soul and helped him heal his injuries. Duanrong also took out her soul-soothing pill and gave it to Senior Brother Chang'an. The next thing... I can only wait for Senior Brother Chang'an to survive on his own.
It's gone." Qilin touched Song Ling's head, let her go, and said: "You have to be stronger, Ah Ling, we have a more important task tomorrow. Fat Yi's whereabouts are unknown now, we need to find it as soon as possible and kill it.
."
But Song Ling didn't want to care about this at all.
She just wanted to guard Senior Brother Chang'an, and she just wanted to see Senior Brother Chang'an wake up with her own eyes.
This wait lasted until late at night.
When Chang'an woke up, he only saw Song Ling lying on the edge of the bed. Qilin and others were not in the room. He couldn't bear to wake Song Ling, so he sat up carefully and watched Song Ling's sleep with gentle and tender eyes.
Yan.
Time passes little by little.
When Song Ling realized someone was looking at her, she woke up suddenly. Then when she saw Chang An sitting there, she started sobbing, but she didn't dare to hug him for fear of hurting him.
"Why are you crying? Am I awake?" Chang'an stretched out his hand and wiped away Song Ling's tears with his fingertips. "Okay, time is running out. I have to go to Qilin's courtyard to set up the formation. Ah Ling will wait for me here obediently."
"No..." Song Ling grabbed Chang An's clothes.
"What are you afraid of? Don't worry, I will go find you as soon as you leave." Chang'an stood barefoot on the ground, leaned over and rubbed Song Ling's forehead, and then tried his best to squeeze out a smile that made Song Ling feel relieved.
"Be good, be obedient, and after this period of time, you and I will be free."
Saying that, Changan pushed Song Ling's hand away.
"I'll go." Song Ling stood up and followed Chang An, and said solemnly and seriously: "Brother, you should lie down and have a good rest now. I can also do the Earth Binding Formation. Besides, senior brother, your preparations have been completed. What's left is just a series of steps."
Just make the points into a line and put them into the formation hub. I am going to make that formation hub. This is my own business, and I shouldn’t let you, senior brother, drag your sick body to force it."
Chang'an's face quickly turned cold.
He held his hands on Song Ling's shoulders and explained with a frown: "A Ling, the Earth Binding Formation is not as easy as you think. I have to do the trick I have laid out, and I cannot let you be in danger."
"Since it's a risk, I should do it myself." Song Ling patted his chest, grinned, and said, "Senior brother has shown me all the formations of the Earth Binding Formation. Is there anything else I don't understand?"
?Does it mean that senior brother thinks that I have been messing around for the past hundred years? Don't worry, I can definitely handle it."
"I don't agree, and I won't allow it..." Chang An raised his hand to stop Song Ling, but before he could finish speaking, his throat surged and he spurted out a mouthful of thick black blood.
Song Ling panicked and quickly helped Chang An lie back on the bed.
Based on the current situation in Chang'an, Song Ling absolutely cannot let him be the center of the formation, and the time for the formation of the Earth Binding Formation is specified. The longer it is delayed, the worse the effect will be, and in the end it may even fail.
However--
Chang'an, who was awake, would never agree to Song Ling becoming the center of the array.
In desperation, Song Ling put her hand on the back of Chang'an's head, and a few spiritual light balls jumped out from her fingertips, sending them into Chang'an's body with a barely visible spell, forcing Chang'an to enter a comatose state.
After finishing these tasks, Song Ling crept into Qilin's yard.
At this moment, Qilin was breathing with his eyes closed. He was floating cross-legged on the bed, and his whole body was emitting an inaccessible bright red light, lighting up the room like a ball of fire.
After performing the concealment surgery on himself, Song Ling looked for the formation board and came to the place where Chang'an had nailed the soul-binding nails in advance.
Nine places in total.
At every point, the person who set up the formation needs to drip his own essence and blood as the center of the formation, and then connect the dots to form a line, guide all the soul-binding nails with spiritual power, and finally complete the true earth-binding formation.
When doing these things, Song Ling only had one thought -
She couldn't hurt Qilin, nor could she let herself get hurt.
While Song Ling was busy working in the yard, the sky in the east lit up little by little. The roaring sound rising into the sky gradually became closer and closer, which meant that the beast tide outside had broken out again and was heading towards the stronghold.
Spreading.
Qilin in the room opened his eyes and looked out the window. He also heard the roar of the monsters, but in the end his eyes did not fall on the distance, but looked towards the yard.
