Not far away from Liu Yu, many monks looked up to the sky and roared, venting their inner emotions wantonly.
It seems that only in this way can the sense of crisis in my heart that I may die at any time be slightly weakened.
Although they were afraid, they still rushed to the distant formation resolutely for the sake of freedom.
Because for now, this is indeed the only path to freedom.
"Whizzing"
The escaping light pierced the sky, quickly approaching the direction of Lingwu City, and was about to enter the light red mist.
Because the formation node needs to be destroyed, it must be within a certain distance before the next step can be taken.
At this time, the demon clan also reacted.
"Hoho~!"
Accompanied by the roars of extraordinary beasts, one after another, the attacks of demonic cultivators and demonic beasts also cut through the sky, intercepting the monks who were approaching quickly.
Extremely poisonous venom mist, various fireballs of different shapes, and extremely sharp golden needles
In the blink of an eye, within the light red shield, a series of innate spells or magical powers rose up, and fell densely towards the immortal cultivators flying over.
A rough count shows that based on the number of low-level monsters in Lingwu City, there are at least two to three thousand magical powers of various kinds. Most of them are the innate spells of low-level monsters, and a few are the innate magical powers of third-level demon cultivators.
There are even a few magic weapons mixed in here and there.
Although the demon clan lost a lot of demon cultivators due to the sudden incident, and because there was no preparation in advance, the number of third-level demon cultivators in the city was less than the number of golden elixir cultivators.
But once the base number goes up, it is not surprising that demon cultivators who are accustomed to using magic weapons appear.
“Bang bang bang”
The vast majority of the innate spells are just low-level monster spells and pose no threat to the Golden Elixir monks at all.
The magic weapon swept across, and the magic shot from the secret numbness was about to destroy a large area.
The "quality" gap is sometimes difficult to make up for with quantity.
"Bang bang"
Only attacks of the same third level can have some effect on Liu Yu and others who are approaching rapidly, and slow down the approaching speed.
However, due to the disparity in numbers and the fact that each team has many "masters" in the later stages of the Golden Elixir, it cannot stop them.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths
After several breaths of time passed, teams of monks entered the reddish mist outside the city and approached within twenty miles of the red shield.
This is a very close distance, and you may be hit by demon cultivators, monsters, and formations at any time.
If you get closer, your life will be in danger. Once the demon cultivator concentrates its firepower on the attack, it is likely that it will not be able to react in time.
With a buffer of twenty miles, whether it is relocation or rescue, the chances are much greater.
As soon as he entered the light red mist, Liu Yu noticed the changes in the surrounding environment and couldn't help but frown.
He keenly noticed that the space was filled with a faint demonic energy, but the spiritual energy was extremely thin.
In this case, the monk cannot directly absorb the spiritual energy in the space to restore mana, which is very detrimental to a protracted battle.
"It is somewhat similar to the space constructed by the Ten Thousand Demon Array, but both the range and distance are too far apart."
After careful sensing, this thought flashed across Liu Yu's mind.
"These red mist should be harmless, but they will convert the aura of this area into demonic aura."
Taking a wisp of red mist into the palm of his hand, a blue aura lit up deep in his eyes, and he quickly came to a conclusion after careful observation.
But just in case, Liu Yu had already used his magic power to prop up a light blue magic shield to isolate all the mist.
Anyway, the mana shield consumes very little and doesn't cost much mana.
“Fellow Taoist from Ancient City, I’ll wait for the next step.?”
Beside him, Guo Poyun asked proactively.
He had no intention of competing for leadership at all. He looked like he was following Liu Yu's lead and his attitude was very polite.
"Um?"
The four newly joined Lone Rangers originally thought that Guo Poyun, who was in the late stage of Jindan, was the talker of the small group of three, but unexpectedly he was not.
On the contrary, Liu Yu, who is in the middle stage of Jindan cultivation and looks ordinary, is the real talker.
Seeing this scene, the two new teammates, two men and two women, couldn't help but have a flash of surprise in their eyes, but it only passed away briefly.
Under the current situation, if the dignified late-stage Jindan monks are still willing to listen to the instructions of the mid-stage Jindan monks, that can only mean one thing, that is, the latter is stronger.
Then the strength of Liu Yu's small group may be stronger than imagined.
Realizing the key point, some people who originally wanted to compete for dominance temporarily extinguished some of their thoughts.
This is also an instinct.
As a lone ranger, you often want things to develop according to your own expectations and have a strong desire to control.
But now the team's talker doesn't look like an ordinary monk, and he doesn't seem to be bad either.
The four new teammates, two men and two women, thought to themselves. Although they were silent and did not speak, they had already pricked up their ears to listen to the conversation between Liu Yu and Guo Poyun.
As for Zhuo Mengzhen, although his cultivation in the middle stage of Jindan is not weak, compared with the first two, he is obviously a marginal figure.
“In the beginning, it’s better to “play it by ear”.
“You must have some spare capacity so that you can respond promptly in case of sudden changes.”
"It is not necessary when attacking formation nodes."
Regarding the words "act according to the situation", Liu Yu emphasized his tone. Several people understood it and were quite satisfied.
"It seems that this person is quite reliable."
The four new people who didn't know each other well enough thought to themselves.
Before we could find out the details of the demon clan in Lingwu City at the beginning, it was obviously not a wise choice to do our best just because of the "reward".
At this time, many monks are probably just showing off, and not many are really trying their best.
Seeing that the speaker was so "foresighted", they felt relieved and didn't need to be worried.
Otherwise, there are obviously two people on the other side who are very powerful. Even if they work together, their arms cannot twist the thighs. It will be really difficult to deal with it.
Noticing this scene, Guo Poyun secretly smiled. The reason why he did not use his spiritual consciousness to transmit the message and chose to speak it out was to establish Liu Yu's leadership authority.
Not much else to say, after seeing Liu Yu's amazing strength and that he is a person who may be on the "real person list", he just wants to hug his thighs tightly.
At this time, I have no idea of collecting the reward, I just want to survive the battle of Lingwu City peacefully.
Anyway, according to the promise made in advance, Guo Poyun completed the task of transporting supplies, and the Zhang family had promised to marry the baby spirit object, so there was no need to take risks now.
Although he also coveted the "Ningying Pill", he knew his own strength, so he didn't even dare to think of forcing his way forward.
The experience along the way taught Guo Poyun that the greed in his heart must be restrained, otherwise he may be destroyed.
restraint!
"Since all fellow Taoists have no objections, let's act in accordance with what Gu just said."
After a long time, Liu Yu said calmly when he saw that the four of them were silent.
"Fellow Taoist from the ancient city, we will understand."
Without hesitation, the four people responded one after another.
"咻咻"
The brief exchange did not last long, and the sound of the demon cultivator's magic power piercing the air filled the air in the red mist.
"Bang bang"
In the light red mist, various auras emerged, and various forms of innate spells shot out.
However, the power of the innate spells of these low-level monsters is still too weak. Even if they rely solely on the magic shield to defend themselves, they can last for a long time.
The method of "mana shield" can be broken by a single touch against monks of the same level, but it is indeed very useful against low-level creatures.
Compared with monks, low-level monsters do not have advanced intelligence and cannot think logically. Their biggest advantage is their tyrannical monster body.
At this time, they are huddled in the formation, and the powerful characteristics of the demon body cannot be brought out. Even if there are indeed a lot of them, the threat to the golden elixir monks is very limited.
The same goes for demon cultivators.
Just using the innate magical power is completely insufficient to deal with monks of the same level, so after landing, Liu Yu and others performed very calmly.
"ding ding"
Liu Yu raised his magic power slightly, and the Sunset Golden Rainbow Spear in his hand spat out hundreds of golden spear rays, densely shooting towards the dim front.
Part of the killing power of the natal magic weapon was activated, including the magical power of the third-level demon cultivator, and it easily swept away a large area of aura in front of him.
This kind of performance surprised the four newly joined people, and their original little thought completely disappeared.
Such strength is probably stronger than that of ordinary late-stage Jindan monks, so they can't help but be convinced.
Noticing this scene, Liu Yu's lips curled up slightly.
It was his intention to be the first to show some strength, in order to prevent these unfamiliar monks from doing something "nice to hear" at the critical moment.
Sometimes hiding too much is not a good choice. It is still necessary to show some strength appropriately.
In the light red mist, the surrounding visibility is extremely low, and it seems to have the effect of suppressing spiritual consciousness.
"Boom boom boom"
From all directions, there were sounds of collision and roar of spells, but no screams seemed to be heard.
"It seems that after landing, it survived the first round of the demon clan's attack without any surprises."
"The next step is to lock the formation nodes."
Thinking about this, Liu Yu and Guo Poyun looked at each other, and their spiritual consciousness spread forward.
While dealing with the demon cultivator's offensive, at the same time locking the position of the formation nodes.
After all, without any real close observation, Zhang Tao could only infer the general scope. The real location still required them to observe and find it in detail.
The light red mist has the effect of suppressing the spiritual consciousness. With the spiritual consciousness of the monks in the early and middle stages of the Golden Core, they cannot search the location of the formation nodes, so it can only be done by monks whose spiritual consciousness is above the late stage of the Golden Core.
After Liu Yu's inquiries during this period, he learned that the secret technique of spiritual consciousness is also rare in the Central Territory, but it is not as rare as Tiannan, so he can feel free to reveal some of it.
With the strength he has shown so far, this is completely normal.
But of course, it is impossible to reveal all the spiritual knowledge that has exceeded the limit of the golden elixir and has reached one hundred and twenty miles.
Otherwise, even the old monster Yuanying would want to find out.
"Rumble"
In the spiritual awareness, there was another terrifying power explosion in the distance, and bursts of roaring sounded continuously.
The three spirit ships are attacking with all their strength, suppressing the attack capabilities of the "Nine Heavenly Demon Formation" and trying to ensure the safety of the Jindan monks who are approaching.
Otherwise, with the power of the fourth-level mid-level formation, no matter how bad it is at attacking, it will never be something that a Golden Core cultivator can handle, and the consequences will be disastrous.
But even so, Liu Yuling still felt a faint sense of crisis.
Because with the power of the "Nine-Sect Sky Demon Array", even if there is no counterattack at all, it is enough to withstand the frontal attack of three spiritual ships for a long time.
When the demon clan realizes the threat of these golden elixirs, will they target them at all costs?
Because of this, even if they are temporarily safe, many people are working hard to locate the formation nodes and launch attacks immediately after finding them.
"If there are no other changes, with this level of attack power, I should still be able to retreat calmly."
"At least ensuring your own safety is not a problem."
Thinking about this, Liu Yu glanced at Zhuo Mengzhen, and then looked away again.
The power of the red light blade stimulated by the formation is between the third and fourth levels. With his current strength, if he explodes with all his strength, he may not be able to achieve a head-on collision.
But as long as there is no head-on collision, it is not difficult to retreat in embarrassment.
Thinking of this and confirming that his own safety would not be threatened by any means, Liu Yu felt relieved.
For safety reasons, he did not respond to the Zhang family's call. He was only assigned a task of destroying ordinary nodes, which served as a cover-up.
As for the nine most critical formation nodes, only the most powerful monks at the peak of the golden elixir can do it.
Liu Yu was determined to pay attention. When the situation in the early stage of the attack was still unclear, he would never take the initiative easily, even if there was the temptation of "Ningying Dan".
Feeling his gaze, Zhuo Mengzhen curled his lips.
After getting along with him for many years, she knew Liu Yu more or less and guessed that he was not thinking of anything good.
However, he is not someone who easily breaks his promises and gets rich easily. What he said before should be quite credible.
"found it."
Suddenly, his consciousness swept across a certain place on the light red screen, and Liu Yu's heart moved.
The nine formation nodes of the "Nine-Sect Heavenly Demon Formation" indeed increase the power of the entire formation by a considerable amount.
But precisely because of this characteristic, to a certain extent, it is also its weakness.
This characteristic means that all nine nodes are destined to coincide with the formation's light curtain and be located at the very edge of the formation.
Although it is still protected by the formation, as long as the power is strong enough, it may still affect the nodes, causing them to be destroyed or the spiritual power operation to be affected.
The spiritual sense spread, and Liu Yu could clearly sense that the extremely rich spiritual energy at this formation node was continuously pouring into the light curtain to maintain the operation of the formation.
It was a mediocre grassland, but if it had any unique characteristics, it would be that the surrounding vegetation was relatively lush.
However, due to the previous battle between the True Monarch and the Demon King, this place was not affected yet because it was far away from Lingwu City.
His eyes flashed, and the azure light shone in his eyes again. Under the observation of the "Eye of the Stars", Liu Yu vaguely saw the formation node and the aura node.
In the sight of the "Eye of the Stars", that spiritual energy node is like a "spring eye", which is continuously spewing out colorful spiritual energy in a huge amount from a distance.
It is ejected from the depths of the ground, then enters the formation node, and is transformed into spiritual power that operates according to rules.
At a stable frequency, it is transported into the huge light red light curtain to maintain the stable operation of the formation.
On the ground and underground, spiritual power nodes and formation nodes are all covered by a light red light curtain. Although they are infinitely close to the light curtain, they cannot be directly attacked and can only exert indirect influence.
If you want to attack directly, you must first break the red light curtain.
The "Star True Body" has reached the late third level. Through the "Star Eye", Liu Yu can faintly see the trajectory of the spiritual power within it.
After being transformed by the formation nodes, countless auras are transported into the huge formation through "veins" or "lines" like dozens of "blood vessels".
Choosing to attack these "veins" can also have the effect of destroying the operation of spiritual power, but the effect is much worse.
PS: Sorry fellow Taoists, I have been a bit overzealous these days because the author has encountered some emergencies recently.
However, if there is any shortage, it will be made up this month.
I don’t dare to say anything else, for fear of being criticized if I don’t do it.
