Five Immortals Gate
Chapter 1818: Rocks and Broken Stars
Li Yan's consciousness was very fast and he completed the investigation one step ahead of schedule.
"Senior sister, be careful. The situation inside is a bit strange. After searching inside to the end of the cave, the fox was not found!
And its blood stains became less and less after entering the mountain crevice for six miles, and gradually disappeared when it reached eleven or twelve miles! "
As Li Yan's consciousness extended, the cave behind continued to expand, and was finally large enough to allow five or six people to walk down side by side, but the injured flaming red fox was missing.
Li Yan naturally felt that he could not miss anything with this kind of glance.
"Indeed no!"
Bai Rou also had a look of doubt on her pretty face. The final end of the cave here is more than twenty miles away. Once there, it is the bottom of the cave.
At this distance, her spiritual exploration was only a little slower, and she also did not find the little fiery red fox.
The two of them soon arrived near Twelve Miles, where the bloodstains disappeared.
But after searching around here, they found nothing except the last few drops of blood.
It's so dark here that you can't even see your fingers, it's pitch black, and it's full of suffocating depression, making it easy for people to be filled with fear.
But these are only for mortals. In the eyes of the two of them, the surrounding environment is almost the same as under the sun.
Afterwards, the two went directly to the bottom of the cave. Here they went in different directions and searched carefully at the bottom of the cave again.
But no matter whether it was using spiritual consciousness or mana detection, no abnormal traces were found anywhere.
"Let's go back and look for it!"
Li Yan said to Bai Rou.
At this time, spiritual shields appeared on both of their bodies, and Li Yan moved closer to Bai Rou in case something unexpected happened and he would not be able to protect the other person in time.
Although the two realized that something was wrong, they did not think that someone had set a trap for them. This possibility was too small.
Bai Rou came to this valley on a temporary basis. She didn't even know that this valley existed before.
To put it another way, they know that this valley exists, but who here knows her, Bai Rou? How could it be possible to guess what she was thinking?
So, it’s absolutely confirmed that this was all just an accidental discovery.
Bai Rou looked at Li Yan beside her. She felt a strong sense of security in her heart and had some blush on her face.
She had never thought before that one day she would be able to be alone with Li Yan for such a long time. This was simply impossible for her.
The two of them are getting farther and farther apart, and there may be intersections between them, but either she will appear like other brothers when a group of people get together.
Or maybe it was just an occasional encounter like in Qingqing Continent.
But there must be someone else beside Li Yan, and that person shouldn't be him...
Li Yan didn't know what Bai Rou was thinking. At this moment, he would only become more vigilant. The little fiery red fox disappeared without a trace.
It was impossible for him to pay attention to such a little beast before, otherwise he would have to check everything carefully, and he would go crazy and be suspicious all day long.
Although he did not scan it with his spiritual consciousness immediately, what is the difference between this and disappearing under his nose?
This time, Li Yan and Bai Rou walked back very slowly, searching little by little.
Li Yan even thought about the scene where he was searching by the underground river in the ancient inheritance palace. It was at the gap between the ground and the mountain wall that he found the inheritance of the final Immortal Mingfeng.
However, this time the search was obviously too difficult for Li Yan. Just when they walked back about seven miles, Li Yan suddenly discovered something wrong.
Because this place was between the two places they were most suspicious of during the previous search, one was the place where the blood stains finally disappeared, and the other was the bottom of the cave.
Therefore, I just passed by here in a flash and went directly to the bottom of the cave to take a closer look.
Li Yan looked at the dark corner on one side, where there were some messy stones piled up, which actually felt normal.
Everything in the cave was originally in disarray, and the corner was like a pile of rubble that had fallen from the cave roof or rock wall.
But Li Yan discovered very subtle spiritual energy fluctuations from these gravels.
In fact, although this cave is claustrophobic, there is spiritual energy everywhere. This is the fairy world, but the spiritual energy here is not as rich as the outside world.
Therefore, under this kind of elegant spiritual energy, the abnormal appearance of a little spiritual energy is not very obvious.
If this were in the mortal world, most places would have very little or even no spiritual energy. Maybe they had already noticed this fluctuation when they flew quickly from here before.
When Li Yan looked back carefully, he was much more sensitive to the fluctuations of the five elements between heaven and earth.
"There!"
Li Yan whispered, walked a few steps quickly, and arrived at the pile of gravel.
Bai Rou also ran straight to a place after seeing Li Yan finish speaking. Naturally, her heart moved and she immediately followed.
Just when Li Yan was about to use his magic power to sweep away the gravel on the ground, Bai Rou's eyes flashed with light.
"This is a teleportation array, but it has been damaged!"
When Li Yan heard this, he immediately stopped moving and turned to look at Bai Rou.
"Sister, can you confirm that this is a teleportation array and not some other type of array?"
Li Yan was not surprised by Bai Rou's assertion that there was a formation here. He had similar thoughts, but he also felt that it might be some kind of covering restriction.
Li Yan knew that Bai Rou's formation attainments were unique, even though Li Yan himself was already a strong man in the Void Refining Realm, and he had also read a lot of classics, and his knowledge was even more extensive.
However, Bai Rou's research on battle tactics was more meticulous. At this point, Li Yan felt that he was not as good as Senior Sister Bai.
It was just that Li Yan had more ideas, so he had to sweep away the rubble to confirm.
But after hearing Bai Rou's affirmation, Li Yan immediately stopped and wondered whether Bai Rou knew this formation?
"This is a small 'Broken Star Array'. Most of the piles of rubble there are deliberately placed there, but if you look carefully, you will find that a few stones are embedded in the ground!"
While Bai Rou was speaking, she raised her sleeves and waved gently towards the ground. Suddenly, dozens of gravels of different sizes rolled to the side with a clattering sound.
But in the original place, there are still six stones. The six stones give people the impression that they are a small section of stone surface exposed from the ground.
Some are high and some are low, some are big and some are small, some are sharp and some are round, the largest one is no more than the size of a baby's fist, while the small one is just a tip sticking out of the ground.
The six stones were placed irregularly, but they formed an irregular area, about less than two feet apart.
"Senior Sister Bai, you said that this formation has been damaged, but how did the little fox teleport away?"
Li Yan asked.
"This formation is missing two corners. The complete formation should have eight corners. This formation belongs to an ancient formation, the kind that gathers spiritual energy on its own.
Therefore, there is no need for a spiritual stone to maintain the movement of the formation's eye, but there must be a 'Star Gathering Stone' inside the formation's eye.
The method of gathering spiritual energy through formations is a method used by many sects. However, if you want the gathered spiritual energy to activate the space formation, usually you can only use different methods.
But it is said that the material "Star Stone" can channelize space, and the amount of spiritual energy that needs to be stimulated will be much less.
Although the formation is now damaged, it is not completely destroyed because the 'Star Gathering Stone' continues to guide the space. There is still no problem in teleporting some small objects. "
Bai Rou explained.
"Oh? Is it a small thing? Let's not talk about it for now. There is such a teleportation array here, but I don't know where it leads. Maybe the other end is extremely dangerous.
Let’s give it a try first. I wonder if Senior Sister Bai knows the method to activate this formation? "
Li Yan's eyes flashed. He was suspicious by nature. After hearing Bai Rou's introduction, he didn't believe that everything in front of him was a complete coincidence.
Since the little fox knew it could escape here, it naturally used this teleportation array more than once. How did it teleport there?
It's obviously just a wild beast, how can it still fail to make a secret and recite a mantra? And no one knows what is going on at the other end of the teleportation array?
"This formation does not require any magic formula to activate it, but it does need to touch the eight formation foundation stones in a certain order, and then it can be teleported!
I have seen an introduction to this formation in a jade slip. There is a method to touch the cornerstone of the formation. "
Bai Rou understood the meaning of Li Yan's words and responded quickly.
"Oh? Touch it in a certain order. Although this does not require pinching and chanting, it is also very difficult.
Even if this is a ruined formation with only six formation foundation stones left, the chance of that combination succeeding is too small, so how did the little fox know..."
Li Yan couldn't help but frown. What Bai Rou said about touching the cornerstone of the formation was definitely not as simple as starting from one end and hitting the other end one by one.
A beast just happened to come here, but how did it touch the combination of six formation cornerstones? Even if I try it myself, I don’t know how long it will take.
If it was a coincidence, the little flaming fox's luck would be too bad. Of course, Bai Rou also thought of this.
But she was not as suspicious as Li Yan. She didn't think anyone could set an ambush for the two of them here. At most, it would be a formation or trap left by their predecessors.
"Senior...junior brother, given the life and death crisis you have experienced, if someone was spying on us secretly before, I think you would be somewhat aware of it.
Otherwise, I also know the formation here. It is just a teleportation formation, not any other covering formation.
Maybe...maybe that little fox can teleport because of an accidental collision. This may be very similar to a person getting an opportunity, which is incredible. "
Bai Rou's words also made Li Yan nod. Chance is an accident. This is not just for monks, but for any living being.
The little fox is not without any intelligence. The previous performance of escaping and being killed is enough to explain something. The little fox cannot rely on just instinct.
And I have never had a sense of crisis, which is also a good sign.
"I have seen another formation, which is an alternative teleportation formation, but it needs to be cracked. It is called the 'reef formation'.
That kind of formation does not require spirit stones to drive it, but it is a dual formation, and there is a covering formation outside. What is the essential difference between it and this 'Broken Star Formation'? "
After Li Yan heard about the characteristics of this formation, he couldn't help but think of the formation that Yan Qingchen cracked in the abyss.
And Yan Qingchen's method of breaking that formation was also very weird.
"Junior Brother Li, have you ever seen the 'Reef Formation'? I have heard of the name of such a formation, but I have only read a few introductions in the classics.
Thanks to the fairy world, there is still such an ancient formation. I don't know much about that formation, but the words about the double formation that my junior brother said are the same as the introduction I saw.
Since it is also driven by no spiritual stone, then in the formation of that formation, there is either a space treasure similar to the "Star Gathering Stone", or someone has practiced space magical powers.
Moreover, the other party's spatial magical power has reached a level that I cannot understand at all. He can build a spatial channel with his own ability without any or very few raw materials! "
Bai Rou said, with a look of supreme respect in her eyes.
Li Yan just wanted to know more about the application of this type of formation, but seeing that Bai Rou didn't know much about it, it was just a matter of course.
But in his heart, he also had a better understanding of Bai Rou's formation attainments. Bai Rou could guess two possibilities with just a few words of her own.
Based on Li Yan's current understanding of Immortal Mingfeng's inheritance, there is a high probability that the formation in the abyss was the formation that Elder Erya used his spatial magical power to refine.
"Okay, now that senior sister has made a judgment about this formation, let's just test it."
As he spoke, Li Yan gently waved his sleeve forward, and a Gu insect that was clad in hard black armor and was as big as a fist appeared in front of him.
Then Li Yan quickly communicated with the other party with his spiritual consciousness. After just one breath, the Gu insect flew towards the "Broken Star Array" on the ground below.
At the same time, Li Yan and the two quickly retreated backwards in an instant, but their consciousness was firmly locked on the area ahead.
The black-armored Gu insect circled and landed in the middle surrounded by six stones, but nothing happened next.
Bai Rou didn't speak either, her beautiful eyes were staring at the black-armored Gu insect, and that Black-armored Gu insect already had intelligence.
After receiving communication from Li Yan's spiritual consciousness, he already knew his intentions. Although he was still confused, he did not dare to disobey Li Yan's order.
Then, it started to crawl around quickly among the six stones, and Li Yan and the two looked there with full vigilance...
When three hundred breaths passed, the black-armored Gu insect had climbed up the area surrounded by six stones several times, but there was still no movement.
"Well, as expected, it cannot be teleported. Does it require a magic trick to activate, or does it trigger the cornerstone of the formation? Senior sister, give it a try!"
Li Yan whispered in a low voice and looked at Bai Rou, who gently took her baby head into her mouth.
"I also told my junior brother about this touching method. You tell the Gu insect that if the other end also has this formation, then it can come out according to this method."
Bai Rou did not take action immediately, but immediately spoke to Li Yan, and then began to speak to him quickly without waiting for Li Yan to reply.
Li Yan's eyes moved slightly. This black-armored Gu insect was one he had sacrificed, so he could sense it as long as the other party was not too far away from him.
He originally wanted to communicate with the other party with his mind to get information, but Bai Rou obviously thought of more and directly told him the method of activating the "Broken Star Formation".
If you lose contact with the black armored Gu insect, the other party can use this to come back!
Otherwise, the news will be lost.
Li Yan didn't say much, he just quickly passed this method on to the black armored Gu insect.
The black-armored Gu insect would only listen to what he said, and even if it heard what others said, it would not act on it, so Bai Rou could only do it redundantly.
Afterwards, Bai Rou did not step forward, she just stood there and raised a smooth white hand, and quickly shot towards the ground in front of her.
She had already started to prepare when Li Yan took out the black armored Gu insect, carefully recalling the method of triggering the cornerstone of the formation.
When it is performed at this time, there is no sense of sluggishness at all, but it appears to be extremely smooth.
"Chi chi chi..."
Six white rays of light flew out in an instant, less than half a breath apart, and hit six stones on the ground respectively.
The black-armored Gu insect had already been ordered by Li Yan to lie down on the spot, looking around with its small eyes...
Six white lights fell in thin lines, and suddenly there was a very faint green light flashing on the ground in front of them.
The black-armored Gu insect lying on the ground suddenly appeared blurry for a while and then disappeared.
