Other optional formations either require a long period of familiarity before the monks can cooperate with each other, or although the formations can be moved, they are mainly offensive and the defense is much weaker.
In the end, the monks from the two sects selected four sets of formations. In order to achieve their goals as quickly as possible, the negotiation process was actually not very long.
And at that time, Bai Rou weakly proposed that she had such a formation in her own hands.
This formation is Qianluo Ancient Ape's own formation, which is to spread out the Beidou Formation, but of course she would not say it directly like this.
It just means that this formation uses puppets as the formation eyes, and then spreads out a defensive light shield to cover some surrounding areas.
However, according to the terrifying attack power of the flying stones here, almost ten monks are needed to maintain it at the same time, and spiritual stones are also needed to assist the puppet's operation.
The behind-the-face formation, maintained by such multiple people and spiritual stones, can weaken the force of external impact by about 20 to 30%.
At the same time, after borrowing the puppet as the formation eye, the formation will continue to move on its own as the puppet moves forward.
Because the puppet is where the formation eye is, there will be no instability in the formation during this process.
In addition, monks who have not participated in the maintenance of the formation can also temporarily meditate on the surface of the puppet's body after its body has exploded to restore the lost strength.
He will control the puppets while they are traveling, and will also knock away flying rocks near the body to protect their safety.
As soon as Bai Rou made this suggestion, she immediately attracted a series of surprised looks, including Zhao Min, Gong Chenying and Zi Kun. They also didn't know that Bai Rou had this skill.
In fact, this method is not owned by Qianluo Ancient Ape itself, but is a new function that Bai Rou combined with the defensive inspiration of Guan's puppet technique called "Qianjia Yu".
After Bai Rou said these words, others were just extremely surprised, but several Sixiang Peak disciples in the Sprite Sect were shocked.
Bai Rou was just like them, but she was only a Yuanying realm monk, yet she understood the Puppet Avenue to such an extent.
They understand better what it means to use puppets as the eyes of the formation. This shows that the other party's puppet skills have begun to become completely integrated with their own.
Otherwise, if you want to use puppets to release the formation, this is what many monks in Sixiang Peak want to achieve. Even if Bai Rou has not yet achieved it, she is probably not far away from it.
In fact, Bai Rou has not reached that stage yet, but she is the leader of several families.
After merging several machine puppet techniques, she was able to do things in advance that required realms.
Afterwards, the monks from the two sects did not dare to delay any longer, so they undoubtedly chose to use this method, and once again took out some high-level spiritual stones and gave them to Bai Rou.
If they want to unleash the power of the formation, they certainly won't be stingy at this time. That would be a joke with their own lives.
Sure enough, after restarting their march from behind, not only were more than half of the monks able to take a short rest.
At the same time, the monks who participated in the protection of the formation also felt the power of this formation personally. This was not as simple as the opponent's claim of weakening the impact by 20 to 30%.
It is obvious that it can weaken the impact by 50 to 60%, but this is not what Bai Rou said intentionally. At first, she felt that the formation would need to be maintained for a long time, so she considered the middle-grade spiritual stone.
After these people all took out high-level spiritual stones, she also used these spiritual stones without ceremony. When the high-level spiritual stones cooperated with the Beidou Formation, the borrowing power was greatly increased, and the power was immediately exerted.
.
It was precisely because of this situation that the monks from the two sects persisted in the flying stone area behind.
Otherwise, with the terrifying rate of mana consumption before, they would not have been able to reach this point. Their defense would have been broken long ago, and each one of them would have been smashed into a pulp.
During these days of walking, they not only saw the power of this formation, but also saw the important role played by those physical practices.
As long as they step forward to defend the position, it will take several times longer than the time it takes for the cultivator to insist on maintaining the position.
Especially the three people who had formed a defensive body with Bai Rou, they even used their bodies to force the formation to open a way out in certain critical moments.
And after each such shocking attack, the three of them still seemed so relaxed, and they didn't seem to be too tired.
Of course, the rest of the physical training also performed well, but in front of Zhao Min, Gong Chenying and Zi Kun, they seemed much inferior.
Seeing this, the monks of the Destruction Sect could only grit their teeth and persist, since they did not want to lose the reputation of their sect.
The messy methods used by the monks of the Demon Sect were tricks that those pure poisonous cultivators in the past looked down upon at all.
Now, comparing the two sides, in addition to being able to use poison techniques, everyone also has endless other means to deal with more complex environments, but I am not as good as myself.
This made a group of monks from the Destruction Sect remember that others had commented on the Sprite Sect - that they did everything they could.
…………
"This is the real hell place!"
Fa Nan cursed in his heart. If they could not get through this twisted area, they would definitely not be willing to enter.
As soon as he entered, there were problems with his perception in all aspects, and the mana in his body also felt empty. Although he had expected it, he still cursed in his heart.
They are the controllers of the underworld. They are real ghosts who can control the cycle of life and death to a certain extent, but they still don't understand the weirdness of the "Netherworld River".
Soon, Fa Nan adjusted his condition. His figure was almost indistinguishable from the blue sky, and the shadow became completely transparent.
He held the three-pronged fork upside down with one hand, pointed it upward, and stood it behind his back. He silently began to look around.
Whether judging from the age of the "flowers from the other side" that Li Yan wanted to pick, or judging from the fact that the two blood gluttons and Li Yan did not appear in the "soul pool" after they were identified.
His key search area must be on and along the "Minglun River", but the "Minglun River" is too long, and Fa Nan doesn't know if he is searching in the wrong direction.
So he decided to focus on the entry location reported by Li Yan, and then after getting close to the river bank, he first searched for ten thousand miles in one direction.
No matter how much the other party can run, it is impossible to get out of this range despite worrying about the strange monsters in the river for so many days.
Moreover, the expedition only considered the area on the river bank. He didn't even think about whether Li Yan and Li Yan had the ability to cross the river to the other side.
When there is nothing in one direction, he will search in the opposite direction. He is searching by flying. This distance is actually very fast, but he needs time to carefully explore.
At this time of the expedition, I still didn't expect that there would be monks here who could recover their cultivation.
But he was able to realize one thing. People like Li Yan might have methods that even Lord Underworld Yeluo didn't have the means to detect.
What happened now and caused the death of the two blood gluttonous ghosts was probably because something happened to the two ghosts during their search after Li Yan's mission expired and he didn't show up.
There are also other possibilities here, such as Li Yan and Buo being really swallowed by strange monsters in the river during their mission.
The two blood gluttonous ghosts may have also been accidentally attacked by strange monsters in the river after discovering the clues. This is also quite possible.
And what he fears most is that Li Yanzhen appears with unexplored means, and may kill two blood gluttonous ghosts who are equivalent to human beings in the realm of gods in a sneak attack...
All of these may exist, so Fa Nan has to guard against it, but in his mind, he actually prefers the first one.
About an hour later, Fa Nan in the void began to search in the opposite direction. His search was a real exploration along the sky above the "Minglun River".
"If the reverse search fails, didn't the other party just happen to it after they got close to the Minglun River?"
During the process of defeating the enemy, he also encountered some other ghosts. They were all evil ghosts who were brought here by the deputy prison chief and then spread out to look for them.
But they were all avoided by the enemy. It is difficult to find traces in the river. Once a person falls into the "Minglun River", you may not be able to see the other person's figure in the center of the river in a certain area.
The river here is flowing, and the things that appear in the water in the center of the river are changing all the time. It is not easy to find the target you need.
But it doesn’t completely deny that in the river, you won’t be able to see the floating figure of your target, and at the same time, you will also place your hope on the shore for clues...
More than an hour later, Fa Nan still found nothing, and he couldn't sense the aura of the human monks here.
He immediately moved away from some "Stylus Rivers" and started searching along this range again.
At this time, Fa Nan still had no clue, and the two ghosts had completely disappeared.
Even if Li Yan has some hidden methods, there are many restrictions on how to use them. Otherwise, the other party should take advantage of his long life and most likely use them in advance.
Li Yan's current state is not as good as when he first came in. If the two blood gluttonous ghosts really die at the hands of the opponent, it will basically be an attack method.
And he has divine consciousness. As long as Li Yan does not return to the Void Refining Realm, he can completely search for the opponent's aura.
Of course, he would not have thought that Li Yan could recover. It was simply a dream. It was sealed by Lord Hades.
Soon after, in Fa Nan's line of sight, a large and towering "ghost thorn" mountain appeared. Other ghosts searching for this place had not yet come over.
They are not as fast as the enemies, and the areas where ghosts are searched are also focused on the water of the "Minglun River" and the places where there are more "flowers on the other side".
Naturally, we would also search for this kind of endless "ghost thorn" mountain, but there must be a sequence. Fa Nan searched here first.
After flying for a certain distance, he suddenly stopped.
Cutting difficulty found that on the "Ghost Thorn" mountain below, there were some traces of broken "Ghost Thorn" spikes, and they were spreading toward the depths.
"Well, a monk has actually been here?"
After Fenan paused for a moment, he immediately followed these traces and flew forward!
But when he flew about seven hundred miles, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
There are monks who can walk on the "Ghost Thorn" mountain with only their physical bodies. He knew that some people could do this, but traveling hundreds of miles at once surprised him.
But just here, those spikes broke and they stopped moving forward, and then turned towards the direction of the "Metland River".
"Someone turned from here to the river?"
Fanan's consciousness began to scan again, and he tried hard to block all kinds of feedback information that made him dizzy. After about seven or eight breaths, his eyes suddenly looked at one place.
There is a sunken open space surrounded by "ghost thorn bushes", and some "Plant flowers" grow there, and they look good every year.
He immediately turned around and flew over...
Fa Nan looked carefully below. This was a sunken and vacant area, about dozens of feet long. On the ground exposed inside, there were some "Plants from the Other Side" growing.
There are also traces of the "Ghost Thorn" being crushed and broken around the area, and there are some footprints on the ground, which shows that someone has been here.
"If this is where Li Yan came from, there are already enough old flowers of the other side. Why would he want to go to the Minglun River?"
Fa Nan couldn't help but look in the direction of the "Minglun River", and then he turned around again and flew in the direction of the broken spikes again...
What he didn't know was that there were actually other traces left in the surrounding area, but they were all covered up by someone using magic to move other "ghost thorns".
And even a very eye-catching big pit here was gone when he arrived.
So Fenan followed the traces all the way and came to a place about a mile away from the "Minglun River", where the "Ghost Jing" mountain was about to disappear.
However, after just a quick glance around, he saw a fallen "Ghost Thorn" tree near the river.
This "Ghost Thorn" tree would not actually attract much attention if you just search it from above the "Minglun River".
But when Fa Nan saw the broken marks left along the "Ghost Jing" mountain, he immediately had a different idea in his heart.
"This is……"
Just looking at the fallen "Ghost Thorn" tree, I couldn't find any other traces around the tree, as if someone had thrown it.
For a moment, he was a little confused. It was obviously a human effort, but what did it mean?
The ghost plants and weeds in other places near the "Ghost Thorn" tree were not trampled or fell down at all, and it did not look like someone was fighting.
It seems that after someone arrived here, they wanted to use the cover of the 'ghost thorn' tree to pick the other shore flowers in front? But in the end, they probably didn't get there.
"Isn't it Li Yan, but other monks who came here to pick the 'Butterfly Flower', but later gave up because they thought it was too dangerous?"
The slight traces appearing here cannot explain the fact that the two blood gluttonous ghosts are here and may be ambushed.
Fa Nan had to turn around and go back again. That place where the "flowers from the other side" had not been picked was actually the most suspicious place.
These monks are so ruthless about their lives that they come to the river to pick "flowers from the other side". Why would they abandon a safe place and not do it?
In the darkness, there was a pair of eyes watching Fan Nan's leaving figure, and followed him quietly...
Li Yan had been waiting at the location where he was going to go after completing his mission. Of course, he saw a large number of ghosts who came here to search.
He even sensed that one of the skinny ghosts was exuding the terrifying strength of the Pluto realm, which was quite powerful.
Although Li Yan has never seen this ghost, according to the information he investigated, this appearance is very similar to that of deputy prison chief Chihan...
Li Yan hid there just to see if these evil ghosts had any special means to track him down.
But it was obvious that the other party did not notice his existence, but took people to the edge of the distortion zone without stopping at all.
After just a little exploration, a group of ghosts flew in the direction of the "Minglun River", which was consistent with some of the things I guessed.
Ghosts don't dare to leave their mark on people like myself!
Li Yan was thinking quickly, thinking about how to quietly capture the skinny ghost. This was a ghost in the Hades realm. If he was the deputy prison chief, he must know a lot of secrets.
But just when Li Yan was thinking about how to take action, he unexpectedly sensed a familiar figure flying over quickly and quietly.
