Behind a pine tree on the hillside, Shen Lin clasped his hands behind his back and frowned, looking at the triggered mechanism below with a hint of gloom in his brows.
As one of the most virtuous and respected mechanics in the Northern Liang Dynasty, Shen Lin had never made a mistake in his career. Although he did not have Wu Kui's moral integrity, as long as he was well prepared, there was no one he could not figure out.
Since last night, he had been busy all day and night, thinking about how to prepare a big surprise for the Night Terror Hall.
The result was great, the most critical trump card was not available, Ye Jingtang actually got there first, unable to show the true power of this formation at all.
Fortunately, most of the mechanisms in the pine forest have been arranged, and the gap is only at the top of the hillside. The smoke is pressing down from the top, so the Night Terror Hall will definitely not rush this way, and it can barely be used.
It is a rule of this profession to remove the trap beforehand, leaving only the trap but no one. After all, traps can be set up countless times if they fail, and the trapped people rush out. The trap master is useless in front of a pure martial artist.
When Shen Lin saw that the mechanism had been activated, he was not interested in standing by to see the results of the battle. After winking at Wang Chong who was holding a gun, Shen Lin was about to leave with his apprentice.
But as soon as the three of them made a move, several sounds came from the pine forest:
Click, click, click...
…
——
Phew~
The light was dim in the dead pine forest, and the overwhelming mist was pressed down from the mountain wall in the blink of an eye by the wind.
Ye Jingtang held his sword in hand and stood in the white mist, holding his breath and listening to all the disturbances in the mist.
Fan Qinghe followed the silk thread on the ground and touched the foot of a pine tree. He took out a silver needle from his waist, wrapped it around the silk thread, and then nailed it to the trunk of the tree.
The structure of the Seven Jue Arrays is extremely complex. The suspended silk threads look the same, but in fact they are very different behind the scenes - some are tripped and pressed, which will affect the mechanism as soon as they are touched; some are stretched by gravity, and the suspended objects will fall after being broken. Produce a chain reaction; there is also pure silver silk, used to cut skin and flesh.
Fan Qinghe felt the tightness of the silver silk with his fingers, judged the reality behind it, and then eliminated them one by one. Although he was experienced and did not trigger the trap, it was obviously not fast enough.
Ye Jingtang was in the fog. Even if he was not afraid of Snow Moth Scale and Black Feather Grass, he was not sure when the swordsman would come out, but the risk of sitting still and waiting for death was still too great. Xiang Xiang asked:
"Can it be demolished by force? Cut off the trees and smash them over to remove mines and push out a road?"
Fan Qinghe stared at the thin line and said:
"The silk thread is just a primer. The most dangerous parts of the Seven Jue Formation are the strange poisons and poisonous insects. If it is destroyed by force, the thunder and lightning will cause flying needles to fly around. If you are not careful, you will be attacked."
Ye Jingtang thought about it for a moment, then lowered his head and looked at his feet:
"Can I get out by digging a hole in the ground?"
"?"
Fan Qinghe made a move and was stunned! She turned around and said:
"Yes, it is possible. The Seven Jue Formation can help masters fly into the air, but it cannot be used as a divine escape. However, the formation is specifically designed to deal with you, Wu Kuibu. I don't know how big the range is. I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult to dig a tunnel out."
Ye Jingtang saw that there was no danger underground, so he didn't say much at the moment. He directly pulled out his saber, inserted it into the inspected ground, drew a straight line in the pine needles and soil, and then used his hand as a shovel to dig quickly.
It must be difficult for ordinary people to dig soil with their hands, but with Ye Jingtang's martial arts, stones can be smashed. Digging black soil is not much different from digging tofu. He pierces the ground with his hands and shovels hard, and in the blink of an eye, a pit is made on the ground.
Chachacha——
Fan Qinghe stopped and looked at Ye Jingtang in disbelief:
"Are you really planning to dig a tunnel? The ground is too soft, and the tunnel will definitely collapse, and you won't be able to hide in the hole..."
"Aren't they just flying needle poison? I don't believe these things can turn corners. Come here..."
Ye Jingtang transformed into a forklift and dug out a three-foot-deep trench on the ground in a matter of seconds. He also dug a cat's ear hole in the direction of the slope very rigorously, then pulled Fan Qinghe into the pit and stuffed it into the cat's ear hole.
Lying in the middle, he drew his sword.
Chacha——
The two knives were as fast as thunder, and they accurately chopped down the straight pine tree next to them. One of the blades was horizontal, and the other was inclined downwards to fix the direction of the tree trunk's fall, and then he tapped it with his palm.
Pa~
The triangular wood block that was cut diagonally fell off the tree trunk, and a soft clicking sound was heard from the straight pine tree.
Before Fan Qinghe could figure out what he was doing, he saw Ye Jingtang lying down quickly and blocking her inside the cat's ear hole. The two of them huddled tightly inside the pit.
Kakaka——
The thick pine tree fell slowly under the influence of gravity. The branches collided and made a series of sounds, and countless snow fell off.
But halfway through the collapse, before it touched the ground, there was a crisp sound of "boom boom~" in the pine forest filled with white mist, several silk threads were stretched, and then there was a thunder:
Boom——
Ye Jingtang was lying in the pit, and he could still feel the dazzling firelight on the slope. If he looked directly, he would be blinded. The sound was even deafening, and even the pit was shaken to the ground. Several pieces of soil were shaken down.
And this is just the beginning.
After the bright light and loud noise obscured the sight and hearing, several balls fell from the top of the pine forest canopy and exploded in the air, scattering countless flying needles and poisonous powder, and even the sound of breaking wind could be heard in the white mist.
Whispering rustling——
Fan Qinghe was tightly blocked in the cat's ear hole. It was obvious that more than a dozen flying needles were inserted into the pit in an instant. The nearest one was less than a foot away from the Night Terror Hall, and the pile of soil above was stained with poisonous powder.
It was colored, and two green poisonous insects fell into the pit.
"Be careful, hurry, hurry, hurry..."
Fan Qinghe was startled and quickly slapped Ye Jingtang on the shoulder.
Ye Jingtang's reaction was not slow at all. When he saw something was wrong, he already fanned out his palm. Instead of smashing the poisonous insects, he used the gentle force of his palm to use the wind to fly away the two poisonous insects and blew away the poisonous powder.
Others can be prevented, but the poisonous powder flying all over the sky cannot be prevented. Fortunately, the toxin takes effect slowly, and the Night Terror Hall has a bathing in fire figure nearby, so it is not afraid at all, and it just keeps fanning to prevent Fan Qinghe from getting infected.
Boom boom boom——
Movement in the pine forest comes and goes even faster.
However, in an instant, the triggered mechanism had already exploded. The woods with a radius of more than ten feet were filled with poisonous needles and flying powder, and the white mist that had just spread was washed back several feet by the air waves.
When Ye Jingtang saw the movement stop, he immediately turned over and looked out of the pit. After confirming that there was nothing unusual, he held a knife in one hand and slashed forward with a Yellow Dragon Cross.
Huanglong Sleeping Road requires a big gun, but that doesn't mean that only big guns can be used. It's just that it's difficult to concentrate your energy with a knife, and the single-point lethality is almost non-existent.
Ye Jingtang didn't think about concentrating his strength at this time, and fell with the knife. The blade was packed with arrogant energy and rushed forward like an overwhelming force. It rolled up the white mist of pine needles and dust in the sky, and instantly rushed out a path of several feet on the slope.
The long empty area was clean and only black mud remained.
Cha——
Ye Jingtang moved very quickly, sheathed his sword, and before the white mist closed, he pulled Fan Qinghe out and hugged him to the ground before rushing forward. Naturally, he did not encounter any obstacles on the way, and in the blink of an eye he reached the end of the groove he rushed out of.
, and then repeat the process of digging holes and cutting down trees.
??
Fan Qinghe was stunned, and immediately squatted down to help dig the soil, saying in disbelief:
"Is this okay?"
The Hall of Night Terrors is like a ruthless bulldozer, with two sarcastic words:
"Only kung fu in the martial arts world is real, and all other evil ways are just charades. I don't even understand the principle of 'the greatest simplicity', and the Seven Jue Formations hidden in the fog. What's the use of making it so complicated..."
…
At the same time, on the hillside.
Wang Chong, who was holding a big gun and prepared to spend a while before going in as a swordsman, saw a blank area appear in the white mist, and the Night Terror Hall moved several feet away in an instant without any injuries. He couldn't help but spread his hands and said:
"The old man has been busy for most of the day, is that all?"
Shen Lin was also a little confused. Ye Jingtang dug holes to avoid him, so the traps were all air explosions, and hiding in the holes was of little use.
But he didn't expect that Night Terror Hall would dig another small concave hole in the pit, and turn its back to the outside, so that the flying needle directly above could not touch the two people. If no obstruction was provided, Night Terror Hall would have the most
Went out in a quarter of an hour.
If it were another mechanism formation, it would be useless on the spot if Ye Jingtang did this. But the Seven Jue Formation is so powerful because it is a living formation and can be controlled by humans.
Seeing Wang Chong's doubtful expression, Shen Lin said:
"The swordsman is the eye of the formation. If you don't put pressure, anyone can slowly investigate and get out. Follow the method I told you to enter the formation, trigger the mechanism proactively, and don't give him a chance to dig a hole."
The Seven Jue Formations of Kirigakure will be adapted to local conditions, and the swordsman will take the antidote to the poisonous mist in advance. As long as he remembers the formation map and walks or stops along the designated route, he will not be injured by the venom of the flying needle Gu insects.
Even the thunderous thunder is blocked by pine trees. It can be attacked, retreated or defended. It can be said that it is in an invincible position.
Wang Chong was ordered to follow Shen Lin's command in everything. Although he felt that the formation was worse than expected, he still didn't say much and quietly entered the white mist with a big gun.
Chachacha...
The subtle sounds of stepping on the snow surface came from the hillside, from far to near.
Ye Jingtang, who was digging a hole, frowned, knowing that the swordsman was coming. Because he was not sure about the opponent's level, he temporarily stopped his action.
When Fan Qinghe heard the movement, his eyes darkened. He leaned against Ye Jingtang and whispered:
"Hide in a pit. If he throws the concealed weapon directly in, there will be no place to hide. I'm afraid this method won't work."
Ye Jingtang didn't say anything, and listened carefully. Then he raised his hand slightly, and moved silently to the fallen pine tree with Fan Qinghe. Before he could squat down, he heard a voice coming from the fog:
Boom~
The silk thread was broken, and immediately there was the sound of objects falling from the tree crown.
Ye Jingtang reacted very quickly by listening to the sound and identifying the location. He grabbed Fan Qinghe and huddled under the tree trunk.
Bang!
Whispering rustling——
The next moment, countless flying needles whizzed through the fog, and some of them were nailed to the trunk of the tree, making a dense and soft crunching sound.
Ye Jingtang made some evasive movements, and the swordsman in the fog apparently determined his location. There was another sound of breaking wind in the fog, and something was thrown over.
call--
Ye Jingtang's eyes narrowed slightly, he grabbed a broken branch on the ground and raised his hand to throw it lightly. The branch shot out like a sharp arrow and hit the flying object in the air.
Dang~
Boom——
Firelight splashed in mid-air, making a deafening noise.
When Ye Jingtang threw the branches, he had already pressed Fan Qinghe and hid behind the tree trunk. As a result, when the loud noise came, he also felt the slight vibration of the ground. The hair on his back stood up, and he slashed behind him with his backhand.
clang--
Under the cover of muffled thunder and fire, Wang Chong burst forward and passed through the heavy fog. When he was only ten feet away, he raised his hand and stabbed directly.
If this shot had been shot by Duansheng Ji, it might have caught Ye Jingtang off guard, but Wang Chong was obviously a little short of the mark.
As soon as the gun point was released, the barrel of the gun was deflected, and the next moment the sword wind hit his face.
Wang Chong knew who he was going to deal with, so he was always extremely cautious. The moment something happened, he jumped back, breaking the thread and making a soft sound.
Boom~
Ye Jingtang took action with his sword, and when he heard something wrong, he immediately retreated and rolled behind the trunk of the tree. Fan Qinghe's reaction was also not slow and he also hid behind the trunk of the tree.
But this time it was not thunder or flying needles, but water balls that exploded in mid-air. The liquid fell on the tree trunk and splashed away. A few drops of juice fell on the two of them.
Fan Qinghe frowned, quickly wiped off the venom with a handkerchief, and whispered:
"The juice from the rotten bone grass roots and vines will not cause any serious problems for the time being. The opponent's martial arts and body skills are average. Find a way to solve it and don't fight, otherwise you will definitely be consumed to death."
Ye Jingtang had already seen that the opponent's martial arts skills were not very high, at most he was on the same level as Uncle Song. He thought for a moment and retreated along the pine tree trunk to the original hole:
"You hide it."
Fan Qinghe did not hesitate, turned over and fell into it, hiding in the pit.
Seeing that the opponent was moving slowly, Ye Jingtang seemed to be preparing to trigger the next mechanism, and suddenly said:
"Hey! Is your bottom plate stable?"
"..."
Wang Chong, who was walking cautiously in the mist, heard a calm and clear voice. He stopped behind a pine tree and did not speak to avoid being caught by the other party's exact position.
Ye Jingtang suppressed the opponent for a long time. In fact, he could always sense the direction, but the white mist hindered his ability to rush forward. When he saw the opponent stop, he immediately rolled forward and slashed the tree trunk with his knife.
Cha——
The upper part of the thick pine tree was immediately cut off, turning it into a straight log with a head of two feet.
Ye Jingtang used his right foot to hook hard, lifting the log weighing several hundred kilograms, and then caught it with both arms and threw it upwards.
call--
The thick log immediately flew sideways into the air.
Wang Chong, who was hiding behind a tree, sensed something was wrong and fired directly at the mechanism not far away.
But this time, Night Terror Hall had no intention of avoiding it.
Bang——
Ye Jingtang stepped heavily on the ground with his feet, and flew up. He closed his hands in the air, grabbed the front end of the log that was flying upward, and grabbed it directly into the hardwood with his long five fingers.
"Open it for me!"
A loud roar of thunder!
Ye Jingtang's upper body robe instantly bulged, veins popped up on his forehead, and his face turned red. He raised his hands high, and when he fell, he used his strength to split the Huashan Mountain, and pulled the two-foot log, which weighed hundreds of kilograms, in the air toward the black man below.
land!
Boom——
Although the log is too thick and its force is not as smooth as a spear or a sledgehammer, the terrifying weight and inertia of the log still bring unparalleled impact.
Amidst the loud noise, a long groove separated from the left and right appeared in the soft black soil, and the soil splashed like a stirred up black wave.
The snow-covered pine needles on the ground and even on the trees were instantly cleared away, leaving only the bare black soil. The strong wind tore away the heavy fog and turned it into an impact arc visible to the naked eye!
call--
Fan Qinghe was lying in the mud pit, unprepared for the shock and her heart trembled violently. Her whole body bounced, and the dug earth pit was shaken away, burying her tightly.
Wang Chong, who was far away, did not expect that Ye Jingtang could do something like this, and was so shocked that his feet bounced off the ground.
If that were the case, the blow would only make a small sound and would not hurt anyone.
But it turns out that there are countless extremely sophisticated traps set up in the pine forest.
Under the heavy blow of Night Terror Hall, the falling ball was pushed away from its original path by the cross wind, moved several feet outward, and then exploded in the air, with countless flying needles shooting in all directions.
All the other messy traps around were triggered by the violent force. In an instant, sharp weapons flew across the pine forest, thunder and lightning danced wildly, and colorful poisons were blown up all over the sky. There was no way to escape from the chaotic formation, and it was almost impossible.
Differentially attack all corners of the formation.
Boom boom——
Bang bang bang——
Whispering rustling——
After Ye Jingtang smashed the lifting log, he knew that this scene would happen. He quickly rolled forward, fell into the long pit, and pressed the tree trunk above his body. Although his arms and legs would inevitably receive a few injections, at this time
It can only focus on protecting the trunk.
On the other side, Wang Chong was much miserable.
The Night Terror Hall violently shook the ground. Although Wang Chong bounced up, he relied on the pine tree beside him to stabilize his base. However, the mechanism was trapped and forcibly moved. The location was no longer a safe zone. Countless flying needles and poisonous substances were fired.
When I came here, I was disturbed by the loud noise of the fire. I couldn't capture the route at all, and I couldn't even dig a hole in time. It was inevitable to avoid it.
Wang Chong sensed something was wrong, and immediately turned his gun like a windmill, covering his body with water, trying to block all kinds of hidden weapons.
But if turning the gun on the spot can prevent the death of the Seven Jue Formation, Qianjimen is not worthy of its current status in the world. However, in the blink of an eye, Wang Chong's hands and feet were shot several times, and the poisonous powder and venom could not stop him, and his whole body was melted.
To be colorful.
Wang Chong felt a tingling sensation all over his body, secretly thinking something was wrong, and turned around and wanted to fly up the hillside.
But the trap triggered a wave, and after the roar, the pine forest became quiet again.
Wang Chong just took a few steps out of the smoke and poisonous powder, his ears twitched slightly, he turned around and stabbed the side with a spear.
Cha——
Amidst the strong sound of the wind, a two-foot-long log flew across with a huge force.
Wang Chong thrust his spear out and accurately penetrated the log, but it failed to stop him. The log still hit his body, causing him and the gun to stagger.
Wang Chong secretly thought something was wrong, and immediately wanted to abandon the gun, but it was too late.
Choking——
The sword flashed!
Ye Jingtang threw the log, creating a whirlpool hole in the poisonous mist and dust. He also stood up from the ground and flew out after the log. Before Wang Chong could react, the blade in his hand had already been swept from his neck.
And passed.
Cha——
The head, which maintained a surprised expression, immediately flew up, bringing out a pillar of blood that soared into the sky, while the body was knocked back by the huge inertia of the log.
Ye Jingtang put away the knife with one hand, and at the same time grabbed the gun shaft that had not yet landed, pulled it out from the log, and swept through thousands of troops, Overlord Kaihai:
"drink!"
Boom——
The nine-foot spear drew a large circle around the body, and the headless corpse that had not fallen to the ground and the human head flying into the air were blown several feet away by the cross wind.
The poisonous powder and flying needles that filled the surrounding area were also carried by the strong wind and scattered to the surrounding area, clearing out a round hole again, leaving only bare tree trunks and black soil!
Dong dong dong~~
The head fell to the ground, bounced a few times and rolled down the hillside.
The pine forest that was originally shaken by thunder has returned to its original tranquility at this moment, leaving only the soft sound of slowly falling pine needles in the distance.
swish swish...
Ye Jingtang stood with a sword hanging on his waist, holding a gun in the forest. He listened carefully to make sure there was no movement around him, then he put away his gun and pointed it diagonally at the ground, looking up the hillside.
During the fight just now, he heard distant sounds on the uphill slope. Because the top of the hillside was not cleared, it was difficult to chase, so he turned his attention to the hole he had originally dug.
Phew~
The plowed black soil was basically smoothed away by vibrations and cross winds.
First a bulge appeared in the ground, and then Fan Qinghe emerged from the soil. He said "Bah, bah, bah~" a few times, and then looked at the empty surroundings, his eyes a little shocked:
"What...what did you do just now?"
From letting Fan Qinghe go down to clearing the place with one shot in Night Terror Hall, it only took a few breaths. For Fan Qinghe who was buried, it did feel like a huge change in the world.
Ye Jingtang put the spear on his shoulder and said:
"Break the formation. It's a place of right and wrong. It's not suitable to stay for a long time. Let's go."
"..."
Fan Qinghe was a little shocked. After thinking about it, he got up and ran to the Night Terror Hall to look at it. He raised his hand and pulled out a few silver needles inserted in his arm:
"You can be called breaking the formation. You got a lot of needles..."
"I have practiced the bathing in fire diagram. If I were not afraid of losing my appearance, I would not even be able to dodge these poisonous needles. In the Seven Jue Formation, I didn't see where it was. If I met Jiang Zahu, I would probably be able to walk out with my eyes closed...
…”
"Don't be careless. The Seven Jue Formation is quite powerful. It's just that the swordsman is not good enough to put pressure on you. You are not afraid of poison either..."
Ye Jingtang heard that Fan Qinghe's voice was not right, so he turned around and looked:
"Are you OK?"
Fan Qinghe pulled his collar, shook off the dirt that fell from his neck into his underwear, and responded:
"It's okay for now, just find a place to prepare some antidote.
Ye Jingtang knew that Fan Qinghe had prostituted the Dragon Elephant Picture for nothing, but the other courts did not give it to him and did not learn from it.
Seeing that Fan Qinghe's face began to turn pale and his breath was confused, he did not dare to delay, and immediately carried Fan Qinghe on his back and walked out quickly:
"There may be traps that have not been eliminated. Please watch the road carefully and let me know if there is any problem. And when you go back, I will tell Prince Jing and let you learn the diagram of "The Bathing in Fire."
Fan Qinghe lay on his back. He didn't think blindly when he was in danger. He just looked at the road seriously and nodded...
