The leaders of escort caravans are usually Alchemy stage monks. Although the major forces in the Far West Plateau compete with each other, the Nascent Soul stage monks who dominate the major forces are familiar with each other. They may have their own ways of resolving their grievances in private.
, generally it does not involve the protection or interception of caravans, because once the Nascent Soul Stage monks intervene, the degree of harm to each other is much greater than the benefits obtained. You come and I rob each other, which is a waste of the Nascent Soul Stage.
The monks' huge amount of time will also hurt both of them.
Therefore, the escort task of each caravan falls on the monks in the Danjie stage. However, the number of monks in the Danjie stage is also very limited. Most of the monks are in seclusion all year round. There are very few manpower available, so all the major forces just send out
A small number of monks in the Core Formation stage are in charge, and the main manpower of the caravan still has to rely on the disciples in the Foundation Establishment stage.
There are a large number of foundation-building disciples, relatively ample time, and there are a large number of monks with no hope of advancement, who can just do this. However, during battles, the casualties are also huge, so over time, the foundation-building disciples of the major forces
, are also consumed in escorting and escorting caravans, and in order to retain their strength, major forces will recruit escorts and accompanying disciples from outside.
In this way, lone monks like Lin Feng and Duan Yue can travel with the caravan. Basically, they and the caravan have common interests or goals, and they both hope to use each other's strength to reach their destination safely.
, once a foreign enemy appears, uniting with the outside world is the only option.
The scale of Hengxing City ranks low among the sixteen major cities, but there are dozens of permanent caravans in the city. Except for the first-class strong teams like the Xiqi Merchant Alliance, most of them are composed of cultivators or casual cultivators.
Alliance, their power is weak, and their routes are also very short. They basically just run back and forth around a few nearby big cities. Because the distance of their activities is too close, the cultivation materials are almost the same, so the profits are naturally very weak.
Super caravans like the Xiqi Merchant Alliance have been traveling in all the cultivation cities in the Far West Plateau for many years. They are familiar with all major branch lines and are well aware of certain potential dangers and hostile forces, so they feel at ease when accompanying them. Lin Feng and Duan Yue
I even naively thought that with the reputation of Xiqi Merchant Alliance, ordinary robbers would never dare to act rashly.
Unfortunately, I did not expect that on the day the Xiqi Merchant Alliance left Hengxing City, a long-planned murderous intention would follow. Even the leader of the Xiqi Merchant Alliance would not have thought that the forces that intercepted and killed them would actually
So unexpected!
In fact, starting from this day, all the major caravans on the Far West Plateau suffered an unprecedented catastrophe. Whether it was a powerful merchant alliance or an extremely weak cultivator family, it seemed that they were all swept up in this catastrophe.
!
And from this day on, the power struggle in the Far West Plateau finally began. This war lasted for a long time, until the power layout of the Far West Plateau was re-formed, the original pattern was broken, and the major forces were reshuffled.
, the entire extreme western plateau gradually calmed down.
Lin Feng and Duan Yue walked out of Hengxing City with the Xiqi Merchant Alliance. The accompanying monks walked at the front, the guards followed closely behind, and the caravan's own people were at the back. This layout was a unified arrangement for all caravans, but in reality
This is not the case, because among the guards or even the accompanying monks, it is very likely that there are monks who are escorting the goods hidden among them!
After hundreds of people from the Xiqi Merchant Alliance left Hengxing City, they quickly flew into the sky together and floated into the distance along the established route. From a distance, they looked like a group of swan geese marching in formation. Within a moment, they turned into a group of geese.
A black dot disappeared in the distance.
The caravan traveled for several hours and was far away from the area where Hengxing City was located. Just as they were flying in groups, large dark clouds appeared in the sky in front of them, and the entire sky quickly dimmed, so that in a very short time
Within a short period of time, darkness had enveloped the entire sky, the surrounding area became pitch black, and the caravan's progress immediately slowed down.
Unable to discern the direction and the situation around them was unclear, the leader of the caravan decisively stopped moving forward, and all caravan members were suspended in mid-air. The monks sent by the Xiqi Merchant Alliance themselves went around to inquire about the situation, while the others stayed on standby.
However, an hour passed and none of the men sent out returned. The leader of the caravan sent out several groups of men one after another, but in the end there was still no news. Only then did everyone realize that something was fishy.
"Everyone retreat and leave this area!" The leader of the caravan realized the potential crisis and did not dare to let the caravan move forward rashly. He had to leave this strange place first and surround this dark area from the outside.
Hundreds of people reversed direction and flew back along the original route. The accompanying monks Lin Feng and Duan Yue fell behind. Those in front were the core elites of the Xiqi Merchant Alliance, including the seven Hunyuan
Sect masters, as well as more than a dozen alchemy stage monks from other forces, all come from Xiqi City and are the core force of the Xiqi Merchant Alliance.
Hundreds of people were groping in the darkness where they couldn't even see their fingers. Their spiritual consciousness was completely restricted at this time. Including the monks in the alchemy stage, they could only see within ten feet, and the tentacles of darkness continued to spread.
, the degree of limitation of spiritual consciousness is gradually increasing, and an inexplicable feeling of depression hangs over everyone's heart.
At the beginning of the caravan's U-turn, Lin Feng secretly sighed inwardly. The several groups of monks he had just sent out all had armbands on their arms, but each time they disappeared almost at the same time.
Sensing, it is obvious that they have all been ambushed, and there must be huge forces waiting around. They have set up a dragnet, which is very likely to inflict heavy damage on the caravan, or even annihilate them all!
When encountering an unknown situation, retreating is a practice that every caravan will follow. However, this time it seemed that they had fallen into the opponent's trap. Just when Lin Feng was shouting that something was wrong, a huge tremor sounded from all around.
Then I saw a huge shield covering them all!
"We have been driven into a trap, let's find a way out!" The leader of the caravan realized that he had fallen into a trap and quickly ordered his men to attack the shield in an attempt to break it as soon as possible. However, Lin Feng saw the formation shield from the moment he saw it.
At first, I felt a creepy feeling in my heart.
This is a "Wind Bag Pressure Formation". The entire array is shaped like a cloth bag. With the help of the right time and place, it draws the violent airflow high in the sky into the mouth of the bag. The monks trapped in it will receive powerful spiritual pressure.
If you can't break out of the formation in a short period of time, you will soon be torn into pieces by spiritual pressure!
The mouth of the bag is empty at first. Although the space inside is large, it will soon be filled by the strong pressure in the sky. The spiritual pressure inside the bag becomes larger and larger until it is finally completely filled by the violent airflow above.
The bag body will be overwhelmed and automatically break into pieces. At that time, the spiritual pressure in the bag will reach an incredible level, and even the great monks in the Nascent Soul stage will have no chance of escaping!
The most terrifying thing is that the reason why this array is called the "Wind Bag Pressure Array" is that once the array is activated, the mouth of the bag will automatically connect to the clouds in the sky, and the violent airflow will swarm at a shocking speed.
When it comes, its huge spiritual pressure is like the pressure of Mount Tai. All the monks will be blown away in all directions. When they are unable to stand firm, it is even more impossible to escape from the mouth of the bag. And in this magic circle
, the bag mouth is the only way out. Even if those monks escape, they will not be able to face the violent airflow in the sky.
Lin Feng's inference was indeed correct. The other party used extremely strong black clouds to block the consciousness of all the monks in the caravan. They set up a magic circle when they broke in. When they chose to retreat, they happened to break into the magic circle.
The pocket of the formation.
The wind bag formation is huge in scale. It is not only laborious to set up, but also requires a large number of monks to work together to arrange it. In this way, it can be completed in the shortest time and will not alert the masters of the alchemy stage of the Xiqi Merchant Alliance. When they all walk into the bag mouth
At that time, they were basically doomed to fall!
The caravan elites headed by the monks in the Dan Formation Stage were the first to enter the bag mouth. The surrounding situation was still unclear. They had no idea what was going on. On the contrary, Lin Feng and other accompanying monks were the last batch to enter, and the bag mouth was right there.
At that time, it suddenly started, and a huge burst of spiritual pressure suddenly came from the sky, blowing them instantly into the deep belly of the wind bag!
When the Feng Bao Yue Pressure Formation had just risen, Lin Feng pulled Duan Yue and flew forward quickly. The space inside the dark bag formation was huge. Lin Feng and Duan Yue sank quickly close to the edge of the bag. Xiqi Merchant Alliance's
Before the group of monks understood what was going on, powerful spiritual pressure came from the mouth of the bag. The monks who were behind were blown to pieces, and most of them were smashed to pieces on the spot!
When Lin Feng and Duan Yue sank to the bottom of the bag, they found that the group of monks in the alchemy stage were trying their best to break the formation. There were about twenty monks in the Xiqi Merchant Alliance in the alchemy stage. It stands to reason that together they would have considerable power.
Moreover, the target of the attack is concentrated on one point, but the strange thing is that after their mana hits the shield, the shield seems to be like a sail, constantly floating around and outside. Once their mana stops, the shield will
Retract again.
More than a dozen monks in the Alchemy Stage continued to attack together. They knew that there was something fishy about this formation, and that no results were achieved after a long attack. However, they all knew that if they could not break through the formation quickly and get out of trouble, the entire caravan would be in danger.
It is possible that the whole army will be annihilated!
Lin Feng and Duan Yue stayed aside and watched for a while. The attacks of these monks in the alchemy stage still made no progress. Lin Feng couldn't help but sigh, and then shook his head in disappointment.
Duan Yue asked him in a low voice: "What kind of magic circle is this? How can it be so weird that magic attacks are completely ineffective against it?"
