The pointer on the black and white compass kept turning, getting faster and faster, and couldn't stop at all.
"It seems there is something wrong with the oil-paper umbrella above. The white mist has disturbed the five elements and we can't tell the direction."
After Xiao Yu finished speaking, he took out a piece of talisman, quickly folded it into a paper crane, and then lightly tapped the paper crane's eyes.
"The paper crane finds its way, get up."
As soon as the paper crane took shape, Xiao Yu held his hands together, made fingerprints continuously, and then pointed towards the paper crane.
The paper crane slowly flapped its wings and fluttered on the ground twice, then quickly flew up and circled around Xiao Yu several times.
"Guide the way..."
Xiao Yu pointed his finger forward, and the paper crane quickly flew out.
"Follow it..."
Seeing the paper crane spreading its wings and flying into the white mist, Qinglong and others felt slightly relieved.
Taoist Wuchen raised his eyebrows. This scene made her feel a little familiar.
When Xiao Yu was fighting in Guishan, he folded a paper crane like this. After a few years, he never expected to see this scene again.
"Is it Xiao Yu?"
Wuchen sighed secretly in her heart, but then she shook her head mockingly.
Paper cranes are used to find paths and souls. These are common methods used by Taoists. Not to mention Xiao Yu, even she can do it.
"What a shame, why did Xiao Yu come here?
I haven’t heard from him for several years, maybe he’s dead now!”
Wuchen sighed secretly in his heart and followed Guan Tianyue, not daring to take a step away.
Suddenly, a reed marsh behind Wuchen separated to both sides, and two sharp pliers stretched out from it.
Then, the dark mantis' triangular head also stretched out, its mouth was squirming, and blood was flowing out of the corners of its mouth.
The reeds close to the dark mantis all fell down, and the wounds at their roots were as smooth as a mirror, as if they had been scratched by a sharp sword.
At the same time, the dark mantis's pair of black arms slowly stretched out, and the black lines on the wings, which were as thin as cicada wings, started to squirm like blood vessels.
Suddenly, the dark mantis looked towards the white mist next to it. At that place, white mist was billowing, and a man in white walked out step by step.
The man in white looked at the mantis with an extremely solemn expression on his face.
"Fellow Taoist, they are not the ones who want to kill you. Please don't ask for trouble."
The man in white is naturally the white cat that Xiao Yu called in advance. In this environment, only the big demon can sense some powerful monsters.
Zhizhi...
The mantis's mouth kept squirming, and then it turned its body and raised two sharp pincers high, as if it was preparing to attack.
"Don't push yourself too far, the people in Jiufeng Palace are your enemies, and we are your friends.
A formation has been set up here. If you kill us, you will also die!
It's better to cooperate with us and find a way out."
The white cat looked at Mantis. Although the opponent had not transformed, his strength should not be underestimated. He might not be his opponent yet, so he could only give him good advice.
After the white cat stopped talking, the dark mantis lowered its raised pincers again, then moved its mouth, turned around and flew in the other direction.
Seeing the other party leaving, the white cat couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then chased Xiao Yu and the others in the direction they fled.
The entire swamp is dozens of acres in size, with white mist billowing inside and no end in sight.
Above the swamp, the oil-paper umbrella was still spinning, spraying thick white mist downwards.
Nothing could be seen in the white mist, it was dead silent, like clouds.
The man in brocade robes from Jiufeng Palace stood on a big tree, squinting his eyes slightly and carefully feeling every inch of the land in front of him.
At this moment, the man in brocade suddenly lit up his eyes, and then waved his hand towards the distance.
A firework exploded in the sky, which was the signal for action.
Because now they have set up a powerful formation in the entire swamp, and as soon as the Dark Mantis appears, they can activate the formation.
Around the swamp, formation flags suddenly appeared one after another, and the colorful formation flags were all over the swamp.
Each battle flag has a different color, and judging from those flags, it turns out that the spiritual powers of the five schools are mixed with each other.
Over the swamp, two figures were looming. If you look carefully, you will see two old men wearing brocade robes and jade crowns. They are riding snow-white cranes, like immortals, flying towards here.
"Grandpa is here, huh, disciples of Wuyou Valley, just wait, I will stretch your muscles and skin in a while."
The man in brocade robe looked up at the sky, with a rare smile on his gloomy face.
Xiao Yu and the others were walking through the swamp at this time, but before they had gone far, they suddenly discovered that the reeds in the reed marsh were growing rapidly, and some of them were intertwined with each other, trying to stop them from going forward.
pace.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Yu and the others stopped suddenly, then quickly took out their weapons one by one and looked around cautiously.
"I have a question, why do the reeds here grow so fast?"
Qinglong looked at the two-meter-high reeds around him, rubbed his eyes, and felt like he was dreaming.
"This is a wood attribute formation that can speed up the growth of plants. We are trapped in a large formation."
As a native of the Ghost Tower Secret Realm, Mo Cheng, although he doesn't know how to use this formation, has heard it many times, so he naturally understands it very clearly.
In the mortal world, there were very few people in Xuanmen. Xiao Yu had never seen such an advanced formation that could make plants grow crazily.
Now that I heard Mo Cheng's explanation, I couldn't help but marvel:
"It's really different here. Since it's wood, let's try it with fire. Don't get caught in these things."
"No, we use fire, how could the people setting up the formation not think of it?
I think there will be a fire array behind this wood. The wood can help the fire. As long as the flame appears, the wood array will transform into a fire array.
Fire is much more difficult to deal with than wood, so you can't be reckless."
As soon as Xiao Yu finished speaking, Guan Tianyue reached out to stop him.
After hearing what the other party said, Xiao Yu couldn't help but nodded. What the other party said was not unreasonable. He almost made a big mistake.
This Hidden Sect disciple is indeed different, he knows more than himself.
"Brother Guan, what do you think we should do?"
Since the other party stopped him, it meant that he had a solution, so Xiao Yu and the others looked at each other.
"The reason why wood can grow is because there is water underneath. When wood burns, it becomes fire. Fire turns wood into earth, and earth continues to grow wood.
This formation should be a five-element formation that complements each other. As long as there is no mistake in one link, this formation can last forever."
Guan Tianyue explained to Xiao Yu and the others.
"Then you mean to say that this water is the most important part. As long as there is no water, wood will not grow, fire will not come out, earth will not grow, and the formation will collapse on its own?"
Qinglong listened to Guan Tianyue's explanation and immediately analyzed it.
Xiao Yu did not agree, but took out a weapon and looked at it.
"Brother Guan just mentioned that there are four of the five elements, gold is the only one, metal overcomes wood, wood generates fire, fire generates earth, earth generates gold, and metal generates water. In this case, the five elements formation is complete!
Now we don't use gold. If we cut off water, there will be only three of the five elements.
If you are avoiding fire, then this formation only has two attributes: water and wood."
Xiao Yu also analyzed.
"Yes, the only five elements are gold, so this formation should be based on gold, with fire as the auxiliary!
Just like Qinglong said, we should break the water that generates metal now, so that the five elements will be incomplete, and the power of the magic circle will naturally be reduced by half."
