Chapter 46 Five elements

The caterpillar team drove slowly on the mountains, bare slopes, without any trace of life. They walked carefully for fear of any accident. Xiyuan looked behind him, and the other two teams composed of players from Kirin City followed them closely. It seemed that the caterpillar was indeed prepared.

Several people probably walked more than 1,000 meters along the bare mountains, and finally found traces of plants. Several pine needle trees scattered around the mountains. Suddenly, the caterpillar waved its arm and said to everyone, "Wait a moment, wait until the assassin comes back."

The team behind saw several people standing and stopped. Through the expression on the faces of the players behind, Xiyuan knew that these people must be connected all the time.

After a while, the assassin's hidden body appeared beside the caterpillar and took a breath and said, "Lao Mao, after 100 meters ahead, the pine needle trees gradually become dense, especially on the left side. I don't have pine needle trees that are not as dense as ordinary pine needle forest. Although the pine needle trees on the right are not as much as on the left, Yes, but it is full of thorns. I think if you want to cross from the right, the brothers will definitely get hurt.

Xiyuan quietly listened to the assassin's enquiry, and there was a trace of thinking on his face. Why is the gap between the left and right of the same mountain? On the one hand, it is completely pine needle trees, but on the other hand, it is mixed with thorns. The thorns on them are poisonous. The thorns on them can penetrate the clothes and plunge into the body. It is estimated that the caterpillar will not let everyone take this Risk.

Sure enough, after thinking about it, the caterpillar decisively announced that it would explore the left area first, wait until the big competition, and then come to explore the right area. At that time, even if it loses the level, it will not be afraid.

When Xiyuan walked into this dense pine needle forest, he suddenly felt a lot of strange light as if he was exploring himself again, but he looked around. In addition to his teammates, there were only these pine needle leaves slowly shaking with the breeze. Xiyuan laughed at himself, maybe he was too careful.

Suddenly, his eyes were still on the fluttering sharp leaves, no! The wind is blowing from the west. Why do these pine needles float in the opposite direction? Of course, the caterpillars did not find this abnormality and still moved forward carefully. Xiyuan suddenly sent a message on the team channel: "Be careful, look at the direction of the leaves."

Several people couldn't help raising their heads after receiving Xiyuan's information. At this moment, the pine needle trees quickly surrounded each other as if they had life, forming a dense circle with these three teams as the center, completely surrounding the three teams.

Several people looked at each other and were surprised in each other's eyes. However, when the caterpillar suddenly saw the lowest swordsman, it found that there was no cowardice in his eyes, but showed a trace of fanaticism. He secretly scolded himself when he became so heartless, and then said to everyone, "Everyone try to lean together and get ready to fight."

After surrounding several people in a circle, the pine needle tree did not take the next step, but always, several people have no possibility of breaking out. The space left for them is too small, either they kill a bloody road or are completely buried here.

The caterpillar is a little regretful at this moment. It doesn't matter to him, but he will really feel sorry for implicating his group of gang members. Looking at the surrounding scenery, the front, back, right, and even the top are now all surrounded by pine needle trees. Are these trees like the forest in Qinglong City, all of which are alive?

Xiyuan glanced at nearly 20 players and saw that the tension on their faces had completely disappeared. Although there was a trace of worry, there was no trace of timidity. It seemed that the quality of this group of players was not bad.

Xiyuan walked slowly in one direction. In his opinion, these trees are not alive. Maybe they have entered a trap, and the person who made this trap is probably hiding not far away to watch their jokes.

"Book student, where are you going? Come back quickly." The caterpillar is anxious, and as the captain, he has the right to protect the safety of every member. Seeing Xiyuan suddenly turn around and smile at himself, the caterpillar suddenly felt that maybe the 66-level player was not as fragile as he thought. He turned around and said to the person behind him, "Everyone is waiting here. I'll go and see the situation with Shangguan."

The caterpillar just wanted to keep up with Xiyuan, but found that Xiyuan's body suddenly shot a white silk, and then he saw a flying person at the peak for the first time. After shooting the silk, he pulled hard, and his body flew into the air. He found that although the trunk of the pine needle tree was relatively thick, the narrower the trunk and the larger the gap was. He wanted to see what secrets were hidden behind the pine needle trap that surrounded him.

Everyone looked at the man standing in mid-air in surprise and saw his body rising, and finally fell on the middle waist of his torso. Xiyuan looked out from here and saw that the pine needle forest was more than 50 meters, and then it was as bare as a vacuum zone. It seems that the pine needle trees here are finished. All moved here.

Xiyuan can now be sure that this is a formation, because he does not feel the life of these pine needle trees at all. Maybe they are just models, and the purpose of making it is to attract people, and then when the people trapped here run out of food, they will completely come out to collect the corpses. It's impossible to go back to the city. West Yuan looked at the gray prompt to return to the city and saw that there was a ban here. Anyone trapped here either relied on themselves to fight out, or trapped here, starved to death and thirsty.

Xiyuan fell gently, and then said to everyone, "This pine needle tree looks more than 50 meters, and there is no gap in the middle that can pass. Unless we find a way to break the array, it is estimated that there is not enough time left for us to break out like this.

Hearing Xiyuan say that these pine needle trees are a formation, several people breathe a sigh of relief. At least now, these pine needle trees have no other means of attack except that they can surround themselves.

Xiyuan thought for a moment, and there was no good way. Looking at other people, he also shook his head straightly. Suddenly, Xiyuan's eyes lit up. Maybe there would be a solution to Meng Shanghun, who was proficient in five elements of gossip. Thinking that he looked at Meng Shanghun. Fortunately, he seemed to have an impact on him if he did not sleep all night. Not too big.

Xiyuan told Meng Shanghun about his situation in detail, and then heard Meng Shanghun say, "Wait a minute, I want to figure it out." Then there was no reply.

After about 10 minutes, Mengshang's soul finally replied: "Xiyuan, as you said, I analyzed that this should definitely be a formation. It is estimated that the person who set this formation did not intend to trap people, but to hunt." Xiyuan listened quietly to the explanation of Meng Shang's soul.

"This array lacks water, fire and gold in the five elements, and forms an array with the help of earth through wood. It is not difficult to crack the method as long as the five attributes are completed. If I guess correctly, this is a living array, and the breakthrough of the formation is in the east, because Mercury symbolizes water from the east, and Kirin City symbolizes fire and gold in the east. Therefore, you can only go out from the east, and the other directions are dead.

East? Xiyuan Jingjing looked at the message sent by Mengshang's soul and knew nothing about the formation, but he did have a reason to listen to Mengshang's soul's statement, but even if he knew that the breakthrough was in the east, it was a kind of trouble for him to find this breakthrough.

The caterpillar looked carefully at Xiyuan. In his opinion, perhaps the key to whether he can go out may be the swordsman at a low level. After seeing Xiyuan frown, his heart became nervous.

"Look at the tree in the east if there is any difference. I think you can only find this tree and you will find the answer." Meng Shang's soul continued.

According to his statement, Xiyuan walked towards the east, and then carefully raised a large number of these pine needle trees. He saw the dense pine needle trees connected together, just like a mold carved out, as thick and high, and even the lines were the same. When observed one by one, it didn't fall at all.

Seeing Xiyuan's practice, everyone was puzzled. What on earth was he going to do? Was he looking for this? He couldn't help but think that a few people walked towards Xiyuan and wanted to ask. Even if it was a little help, it was better than waiting. However, after seeing Xiyuan's concentrated eyes, several people still felt that it was better not to disturb him.

The Western Yuan counted the trees around the trees, which is exactly 108 lessons. It seems that the array is absolutely correct, because the arrangement of the array is still known in the Western Yuan. The array of most things is either 108, 36, or 72.

The color is the same, the height is the same, the pattern is the same, and the thickness is the same. What's the difference? Suddenly he remembered Meng Shang's words: "This formation may be used to deal with beasts, not people." If you are dealing with a beast, putting the mouth of the mechanism low may be accidentally hit by the beast, but if it is placed on top of the tree, it is unlikely, thinking that he suddenly raised his forehead and his eyes showed a trace of fine light.

Sure enough, after he glanced at the pine needle tree, he immediately found a tree that was different from others, and this different person could casually find that there was a gap in a pine needle tree in the east, and the gap exposed the white torso inside. If you don't know that this is an array, it is probably very Many people will think that this difference is nothing. After all, it is normal for a tree to lack a piece of skin.

Xi Yuan told Meng Shang's soul about his discovery, and then shot out silk and hung on the tree. At this moment, he was waiting for the echo of Meng Shang's soul.

"Xiyuan, look at this place that lacks bark, if there is anything like a bulge. Since he has set up a valve, it is estimated that even if there is no bulge, you can try anything."

Xiyuan took a closer look at the gap, and there was no bulge, but since Meng Shanghun said that this was a living door, there was no danger here, thinking that Xiyuan had gently pressed the wood inside.

At the moment when Xiyuan's right hand pressed it, suddenly sounded, and then all the pine needle trees spread around as if alive. All the people smiled after seeing this situation: they were finally saved.

Xiyuan stood on the tree and looked in the direction of Kirin City. He saw the original golden Kirin City shining in the sun, and the surrounding lines glowed red, like a fire city.

I was the caterpillar looking at the figure standing on the tree. In addition to the joy on my face, it was more of appreciation. He thought that the lowest-level guy who suddenly joined would become a burden for the team, but he didn't expect that he saved everyone at the critical moment. Maybe the current level does not represent everything. !

"Book student, come down! Shall we continue to explore?" He shouted and woke up Xiyuan, who was immersed in the beautiful scenery.

Xiyuan smiled awkwardly, and then the silk gently closed and landed firmly on the ground.

The caterpillar thought about it and decided to let the two lower-level teams return to the city along the way. After all, what happened just now has made him feel that he is more than strong. In case something happens behind him, it is probably too late for him to save him. If it hadn't been for the strong request of the team, he himself They all plan to go back, but since the brothers are not afraid, his caterpillar can't retreat.

The caterpillar should be young, about 20 years old, but Xiyuan saw from his face that he was more sophisticated than many of his peers.

This pine needle forest, which is about one kilometer in the formation, several people shuttled through the woods for less than half an hour. Finally, they saw the bare rock again, and a bulge not far away attracted their attention. This raised place is about 3 meters high and two meters wide, and obviously not It is integrated with the rock, and the gap in contact with the rock is exposed behind the bulge. From this gap, the caterpillar looks at a dark piece from above. Obviously, there is a cave behind the bulge.

The caterpillar pulled out his dark gold wide knife and cut a few knives fiercely towards the bulge. Except for leaving a few knife marks, the baffle, which was about one meter thick, did not move at all.

Several people wanted to move away together, but unfortunately they underestimated the weight of the rock. After everyone, including Xiyuan, put all their strength on this bulge, even if they used their strength, it was still in vain.

The little assassin in the team suddenly said, will there be any mechanism? Hearing what the little assassin said, several people found that they had just forgotten to think. If there was no mechanism for such a heavy rock, it would be difficult for even the person who made it to move it.

Several people touched the raised rock and the cave stone behind it. According to common sense, every organ should have a raised or sunken place, but when everyone looked around it, they found that they were disappointed and didn't find it. But there was a thick layer of dust in my hand.

Xiyuan carefully looked at this bulge. If there is a mechanism, the bulge will not leave, because the space inside is obviously smaller than the outside, so there are only four possibilities that this bulge is in the direction of up and down, left and right. If he is right, the perpetual contact, the bulge will move away. Due to the contact with the rock, a smooth contact surface should be formed, and if you find this contact surface, you should be able to roughly determine the direction of the switch.

Xiyuan wiped towards the rock again, and suddenly his eyes lit up. The part his hand touched just now was obviously much smoother than around. Xiyuan wiped it along this smooth area again and looked at the position of his meditation in his heart, which coincided with the raised shape, thinking that Xiyuan was facing the opposite direction of the bulge. Go on, he believes that if there is a mechanism, it must be here.

Xiyuan looked at the leaking lines on the rock, as if it had been dried, as if there was no special place. However, after making a comparison, he found that although there were lines on the rocks around the raised, they were not deep, and the lines in this place were obviously several millimeters deeper.

Xiyuan drew out these deeper lines, and then was surprised to find that these relatively deep lines happened to form a regular triangle. Xiyuan has determined that the secret here must be in the triangle he drew. However, whether he pushed or pulled, the rock of this triangle besieged the city is Don't move.

Other people were looking for it at this moment and did not find Xiyuan's behavior at all. Xiyuan suddenly took out the Yufeng Sword and inserted it into the lines. At the moment when the Yufeng Sword came into contact with the lines, the Yufeng Sword seemed to be attracted by the lines and suddenly sank in, and then saw the bulge slowly sliding towards the opposite side. .

Another swordsman happened to be exploring on the opposite side of Xiyuan. Suddenly, he heard a sound and moved two steps back involuntarily. At this time, everyone saw the sliding stone door. The caterpillar stared at Xiyuan, where the sword was still inserted on the rock. The admiration in his heart could not be said. Unexpectedly, this was not The little swordsman who intends to let him join the team help the team solve the difficulties one after another.

He pulled out the menu of the gang members and wanted to see if the swordsman with such outstanding ability had entered the swordsman's hall, but he searched for a while and regrettedly found that there was no swordsman called the swordsman in the swordsman's hall. He looked at the mixed hall in disbelief again. As a result, he turned low and still didn't find him. Name, the caterpillar was surprised this time. Is he not a member of the gang, but why is the word Kirin City displayed beside him?

Suddenly, the caterpillar's eyes lit up, and the names that he could not see were either the law enforcement hall, the intelligence hall, or the elders of the gang, because the names of these people were not displayed in the menu of the gang members, and the elders should not be. After all, Xiyuan had announced the composition of the current elder group that day, and Every elder is absolutely a big deal for the gang. It is estimated that the master will be announced to the public, let alone the intelligence hall, because through his performance just now, this person should be biased towards force. Now there is only one result that this seemingly low-level person is a person from the law enforcement hall.

Everyone who enters the gang knows the difficulties of entering the law enforcement hall, and even the owners of each lobby must meet the requirements if they want to enter the law enforcement hall. The caterpillar suddenly remembered the silk shot from Xiyuan. According to his opinion, the equipment that can launch silk is definitely special equipment, and it is probably more difficult to get a special equipment than the legendary equipment.

The caterpillar has been shocked by his own speculation and couldn't help looking at Xiyuan a few more times. Suddenly, he found that he had never seen the equipment on this player's body, and even the sword he took out just now glowed faintly. That light was not the color of dark gold equipment, let alone the color of gold equipment. .

"Head, what are you thinking? Everyone went in." The little assassin suddenly shouted a caterpillar, and the caterpillar found that there was no team here at this moment.

The area of the cave is not small enough for three people to pass side by side, but the dark area is very unsuitable for everyone. Xiyuan took out a torch and lit it. Everyone looked at him in surprise. Few people go out to prepare torches. After all, they are not used in most cases.

The bright light from the torch lit up around Xiyuan, and suddenly everything was stunned, because it didn't want a cave at all, but more like a master's house. The oil lamps around the Xiyuan cave were lit, and then the whole scenery of the cave was displayed in front of the team.

Except for the narrow place where several people just came in, other places are very spacious, and it is like a ladle of scooping water. The siege is a circle, facing the narrow aisle just now, and there is a wooden table in the center, but it can be seen from the gray table mountain that this It has not been inhabited for a long time.

Xiyuan looked up at the rocks around here and suddenly found that it was full of patterns, some carved a row of columns, some carved gossip pictures, and some carved some patterns like the charms that Xiyuan once saw on the tree of life.

Is this the place where the senior who made the pine needle tree array lived? Other people have been attracted by the patterns on the wall and have not found a corner to look at it.

Xiyuan walked towards the stone bed, ** came out of a stone pillow that had been ground into an oval, and there was nothing else. However, on the wall inside the stone bed, Xiyuan found a row of small words: I have devoted myself to studying the mystery of the array for hundreds of years, and today I finally achieved something to live up to the secrets taught by the patriarch. Today, the demon clan Fanwo Kirin In the city, I carved the results of my cultivation on the stone cave, hoping that later people would carry it forward - Situ Mingyue.

Xiyuan looked at this row of dusty handwriting and felt admiration in his heart. How can a person stay in a place for hundreds of years? However, it is not easy for this person called Situ Mingyue to endure so many years of loneliness and study the formation method, although Xiyuan knows the world of cultivation. There are also many people who soar through arrays, but it is simply not worth mentioning compared with practicing skills. In today's words, the array is like a partial door. It's not difficult to learn a fur, but it's difficult to achieve the goal of refinement.

In fact, Xiyuan did not know that this cave originally belonged to the forbidden place of Kirin City. The main purpose of setting up a formation was to prevent the clan from going at will, and this cave was the place where the first old Situ Mingyue of the Kirin clan practiced.

After this mountain, there is a place where beasts haunt. Judging from the current level of players in Kirin City, although it is risky to go to the place behind the mountain to practice, the rewards are quite rich. However, until now, no one has passed through this area, Mao The caterpillar team may be the first.
