The three late-stage Void Refining monks headed by Long Xun initially didn't take it seriously after seeing this piece of blood-sucking wood.
Vampire trees are too common in Moyun Continent, and they can be made to retreat obediently by showing a little coercion.
Long Xun thought like this in his heart, so he released some demonic thoughts at will.
Unexpectedly, after encountering his evil thoughts, these vampire trees not only did not retreat, but instead waved their sharp branches to greet him.
The three demon cultivators in the late stage of Void Refining naturally did not pay attention to this little branch and casually shattered it.
It's just that the abnormal behavior of these vampire trees fell into Long Xun's eyes, making him a little cautious in his heart.
"Wait a minute, everyone, this forest seems a little weird."
The alligator-mouthed female cultivator nodded sympathetically, "There is the scent of the red monkey nearby. He should have entered this forest. The person who killed the princess is most likely hiding in it."
Long Xun frowned and carefully looked at the woods in front of him.
"These vampire trees are not afraid of us, they are only afraid of being controlled by someone behind them. However, the vampire trees are extremely difficult to tame. I don't know how that person controls these things."
The black-robed demon cultivator, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Formation."
Long Xun and the crocodile-mouthed female cultivator looked at each other, and then both looked at the black-robed demonic cultivator, with unmistakable surprise on their faces.
"You mean, this is a formation?"
Don't blame the two of them for not believing it. In fact, in the entire Longsu City, there are only four or five people who are proficient in the formation, and most demon cultivators don't like to mess with this thing.
That is to say, when the cultivation reached the late stage of Void Refining and they encountered the first big bottleneck in their career as demonic cultivators, some demonic cultivators with nothing to do started to study formations.
The black-robed demonic cultivator did not answer, and just flew into the air, releasing demonic thoughts, covering the entire vampire forest.
The more he probed, the more serious the face hidden under the black robe became.
This formation was larger and more complicated than he imagined.
The person who set up the formation had a far better understanding of the Tao of Battle than he did.
If the three of them hadn't been cautious and hadn't stepped into this forest, I'm afraid they would have been trapped in the formation and unable to get out.
The black-robed demonic cultivator took a deep breath, returned to the ground, and told the other two people what he had discovered.
The female cultivator with a crocodile mouth was still a little unbelievable, "A cultivator who has just broken through the void refining stage can actually set up such an exquisite formation on his own?"
The black-robed demonic cultivator nodded solemnly. Until he saw it with his own eyes, he would not believe that this formation was set up by a cultivator who had just broken through the Void Refining Stage.
"The Red Monkey is reckless and has probably chased into the formation. Let me ask him what the scene is like in the formation."
Long Xun realized the difficulty of the matter, took out the stone order used for communication, and injected several evil thoughts into it.
However, after waiting for half a stick of incense, there was no reply from Chihou.
Long Xun looked ugly, "He didn't reply."
The alligator-mouthed nun's throat was dry and she had a bad feeling.
Before taking the task, she actually didn't take it seriously.
Even if a female cultivator at the stage of becoming a god could surpass the level and kill the princess at the early stage of refining the void, she would never be a match for the four of them.
However, in just twenty days, that person had already broken through to the Void Refining Stage.
That would be enough, but she was proficient in formations. After the red monkey broke into the formation, he lost contact.
Although Red Monkey is reckless, he still has strength, otherwise he would not be valued by the king and entrusted with important tasks.
She swallowed hard, "Could it be that Red Monkey is already dead?"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere became more tense.
Finally, it was the black-robed demon cultivator who broke the silence, "Since the opponent can kill the enemy beyond the level, it is not impossible to kill the red monkey by relying on the power of the formation."
"What should we do now?"
Long Xun frowned, glanced at the vampire forest not far away, and then returned his gaze to the black-robed demon cultivator.
"Since you recognize this formation, you should have a way to break it, right?"
The black-robed demon cultivator thought for a while and walked towards the nearest vampire tree.
The blood-sucking tree felt the blood, and its branches grew crazily. They all pierced the black-robed demon cultivator, but they didn't even break his black robe.
He stretched out his hand, pulled out the vampire tree by its roots with a little force, and shattered it into powder with demonic energy.
His formation skills are far behind those of the people who set up the formation. If he wants to break this formation, he can only use stupid methods to destroy these blood-sucking trees first.
The black-robed demon cultivator told the other two people his conclusion. After Long Xun thought for a moment, he agreed.
The forest here is very sparse, but in such a large forest, there are at least six to seven hundred vampire trees.
Uprooting all the vampire trees and then crushing them with magic energy will undoubtedly consume a lot of magic energy.
But when he thought of the missing Red Monkey, he still agreed with this method.
Although this method is stupid, it is more reliable. As long as this forest is destroyed, the murderer will have nowhere to hide without the formation to rely on.
After the three people discussed it, they started cleaning up the vampire wood.
Xu Chunniang, who was in the formation, saw that they did not enter the formation rashly, but instead pulled out the vampire trees in the forest and guessed that among the three of them, there was someone who knew the formation.
But the other party's move also made her see that the monk who was familiar with formations had no ability to break the formations she had set up.
So they could only dismantle the formation bit by bit by destroying the vampire trees.
Seeing the busy figures of the three people, Xu Chunniang smiled unkindly.
Although her formation took advantage of the terrain, it was because she was short of time and took advantage of the situation.
In fact, if she had enough time, she could lay out a more powerful formation with the materials in hand.
The effort of these people to break up the formation was enough for her to perform.
"You will be unlucky if you meet me."
Xu Chunniang chuckled lightly, wasting no more time, all the formation materials flew out of her hands and flew in all directions in an orderly manner.
While she was setting up the formation, the three of them were not idle. They spent two hours leveling most of the forest.
Only a small area in the center is left, and there are one or two hundred vampire trees.
The crocodile-mouthed female cultivator looked at the forest and tried to penetrate the demonic thoughts, but failed again.
It's really strange. This forest is sparse and there is no one at all. Is the murderer who killed the princess really hiding in here?
For the first time in her life, the crocodile-mouthed female cultivator became somewhat interested in the battle method.
It's just that the king's order is to keep her alive, and it's a good thing like soul searching, but I'm afraid it won't be her turn.
Long Xun saw her actions in his eyes and said calmly.
"Only the last bit is left. Let's rest for half an hour. After recovering the demonic energy, we can break the formation in one go!"
Naturally, the other two people had no objection. In order to prevent the other party from escaping, the three of them each took a position and surrounded the forest in the middle.
Their actions naturally did not escape Xu Chunniang's eyes.
The corners of her mouth curled up happily, "It's really difficult for you to pull out so many trees. You don't need to do anything about the rest."
