Chapter 175 The Ten Thousand Killing Array
Chapter 175 The Ten Thousand Killing Array
The crowd immediately began to chatter, but everyone had different points of interest.
"Damn! Luckily Lin Ji found us early, or we would all be flattened!"
Thinking of this, Chu Wenqing shuddered with lingering fear, "That giant stone beast is too sinister!"
Song Qiao covered her nose and took a step back in discomfort, "The smell of burning on it is too strong..."
Feng Xiyue's eyes were fixed on the giant stone beast, and when she saw the burning firestones on its body, her eyes shone even brighter.
"This is the Giant Stone Beast? It's so huge?! Isn't it covered in Blood Dragon Stone?!"
Wow, this is incredible! There are so many Blood Dragon Stones! This isn't some terrifying monster, it's a huge treasure trove!
Su Luo immediately understood what Feng Xiyue was thinking and reminded her, "Be careful, this giant stone beast is quite intelligent and not so easy to deal with. It was hiding underground just now and trying to ambush us."
Feng Xiyue nodded, though it was unclear how much she actually took in. Then she asked, "By the way, Su Luo, do you know the weaknesses of this giant stone beast?"
"The diagram says that as long as you cut off its head, it will stop moving, but it doesn't say exactly how to deal with it."
As she spoke, Su Luo subconsciously looked at Chu Wenqing, "Right now we can only try them one by one, why don't we try lightning first?"
"Thunder and lightning?"
Upon hearing this familiar word, everyone's eyes immediately fell on Chu Wenqing, who straightened his back and patted his chest.
"Leave it to me! It's just a mere stone monster!"
With that, Chu Wenqing stepped forward and charged directly towards the giant stone beast. At the same time, he drew his sword, and lightning flashed as the Thunderclap Sword vibrated.
"Roar~!"
The giant stone beast also rushed over, waving its long arms at Chu Wenqing to grab him. Fortunately, Chu Wenqing was agile, dodging back and forth like a dragon and snake, and occasionally finding an opportunity to stab it with his sword.
Although the stone beast's body was too hard for the sword to penetrate, lightning could continuously spread throughout its body along the Blood Dragon Stone, causing the stone beast to tremble and lose its sense of control.
"effective!"
Seeing this, Su Luo's eyes lit up with surprise. After thinking for a moment, she immediately took out some ice talismans and handed them to Feng Xiyue and the other two. "Take these ice talismans and help Chu Wen stall for time! I'll draw the array, and then you'll need to lure the giant stone beast in!"
"no problem!"
"knew."
As they spoke, Feng Xiyue and Song Qiao both accepted the talismans.
Lin Ji did not accept the talisman, but instead looked at Su Luo and said, "There may be danger when you draw the array, so I will watch over you from the side."
Su Luo shook her head, about to refuse: "I don't need it..."
Feng Xiyue interrupted her without giving her a chance to speak, "Lin Ji is right. Su Luo, you need someone to guard you. For now, the three of us are enough to deal with the giant stone beast."
"That's fine."
Su Luo thought about it and agreed. While Feng Xiyue and the other woman turned around and ran quickly to support Chu Wenqing, she hurriedly took out her tools and began to concentrate on drawing an array on the ground.
Meanwhile, the battle raged fiercely on the side of the giant stone beast.
Chu Wenqing took the lead in the attack, constantly using his sword to strike the giant stone beast. The giant stone beast was immobilized by the electricity, and at this time Feng Xiyue and Song Qiao would take the opportunity to use ice talismans to freeze the giant stone beast and try to cause some damage before it could move.
Several times during this time, Chu Wenqing was almost hit by the giant stone beast, but Song Qiao quickly grabbed him with the strings of his zither, narrowly avoiding the attack.
Meanwhile, Lin Ji stood quietly not far from Su Luo, keeping watch over Chu Wenqing's group. Seeing that they were handling things with ease, he did not interfere.
The path of cultivation is always fraught with danger. Chu Wenqing and his companions will inevitably encounter many enemies and monsters. Only by fighting more and accumulating experience can they become stronger!
Lin Ji couldn't protect them for life; the only person he wanted to protect for the rest of his life was Su Luo...
The boy stared intently at Su Luo, his eyes devoid of anything else. His pupils were dark and deep, as if etched with the brilliance of the sun and moon, incredibly lifelike.
Su Luo had no energy to pay attention to anything else. She was completely oblivious to the noise around her, focused solely on drawing the array.
This formation is too powerful and cannot tolerate the slightest mistake!
The formation Su Luo was about to draw was called the Myriad Kill Formation, a special and advanced formation. As soon as the prey stepped into this formation, its spiritual energy would be instantly absorbed, and then the formation would use all available resources to try to kill the prey until it was lifeless.
This formation is extremely dangerous, exuding a murderous aura. A slight misstep could backfire on the formation master, so most formation masters wouldn't attempt it lightly. But Su Shi couldn't care less about anything else at that moment!
Despite their best efforts, Chu Wenqing and the others could only trap the giant stone beast, unable to truly defeat it. Continuing to drag it out would only result in injuries sooner or later, so she had no choice but to take a risky approach.
Once the formation was complete, Su Luo breathed a sigh of relief, then immediately looked up and shouted to the three people in the distance, "Alright! Lure it over here!"
"Roger that!"
Just then, Chu Wenqing used the momentum to leap into the air and plunged his sword into the giant stone beast's eye. The giant stone beast was in so much pain that it slapped him back and roared angrily.
Chu Wenqing dodged backward, and Song Qiao used the strings of his zither to catch him as he fell. Chu Wenqing landed lightly, and then the three of them turned around and ran towards Su Luo.
The giant stone beast was furious to see the three hateful people run away. It roared madly and took huge strides to chase after them.
Su Luo stood still, waiting quietly.
As Chu Wenqing and the other two ran towards them, they waved a warning, "Su Luo, it's coming!"
"Understood! You all step back first!"
Su Luo stared intently at the giant stone beast that was only a few steps away from her and the formation. She took out a dagger she had prepared beforehand and slashed her palm. She then knelt down and smeared the blood on the needle holes in the formation. As the formation continued to absorb her blood, her face grew increasingly pale.
Upon seeing this, Lin Ji's pupils contracted sharply, and he instantly teleported to Su Luo's side. He wanted to interrupt the formation directly, but he was afraid that Su Luo would be harmed by the formation's backlash, so he could only grit his teeth and wait with a grim expression.
Before long, the formation absorbed enough of Su Luo's blood and changed, turning into a huge, ominous pattern, from which black energy continuously emerged.
At this moment, the giant stone beast was still two steps away from them.
"Roar! Roar~"
Su Luo staggered to her feet. As soon as she stood up, Lin Ji wrapped her injured palm with a cloth, then grabbed her waist and pulled her back quickly, away from the approaching giant stone beast.
Almost as soon as the two left, the giant stone beast stepped into the formation. In an instant, black energy spread and enveloped the giant stone beast. A huge and terrifying killing intent erupted, causing goosebumps to rise all over Chu Wenqing and the others.
"Roar~ Roar roar roar!"
Hearing the giant stone beast's screams, Feng Xiyue instinctively hugged her arms tightly. "Such terrifying killing intent! This formation is no simple matter!"
Feng Xiyue had seen countless formations, but she had never seen one so ominous and terrifying! Even though she couldn't see it, she could imagine how miserable the giant stone beast inside must be!
Song Qiao nodded emphatically, completely agreeing with her senior sister's words. Her gaze towards Su Luo was somewhat complicated, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, "From now on, I must never offend Su Luo!"
Normally, Su Luo is very approachable and has no airs at all, but once she gets serious or angry, she has many methods, and she can be even more ruthless than the rest of them!
Song Qiao was extremely grateful that he and Su Luo were companions, not enemies.
Chu Wenqing didn't think too much about it. Instead, he put one hand on his hip and rubbed his nose with pride, "As expected of Su Luo! She's really amazing!"
He knew that Su Dada wouldn't let him down!
After expressing his feelings, Chu Wenqing, seemingly unafraid of death, ran to the vicinity of the formation to take a closer look. Feng Xiyue and Song Qiao also couldn't resist their curiosity and went over to investigate.
Therefore, they did not notice the tense atmosphere between Su Luo and Lin Ji.
After confirming that the giant stone beast was trapped, Su Luo finally breathed a sigh of relief. "It seems we succeeded..."
Once the Ten Thousand Kill Formation is activated, it will never be opened again until the prey dies. All they need to do is wait a while.
Thinking of the Blood Dragon Stone on the giant stone beast, Su Luo's mood brightened, and she even forgot the pain from her wound. Feeling the tight, almost suffocating force around her waist, Su Luo frowned and subconsciously pushed Lin Ji, asking him to let go.
Su Luo thought Lin Ji would let go of her hand quickly, but after waiting for a while, Lin Ji not only did not let go of her, but instead tightened his grip on her waist even more.
Su Luo almost choked on her breath, feeling something was off. "...Lin Ji? What's wrong?"
Just as he was wondering, Lin Ji suddenly released Su Luo again, then turned her to face him, carefully lifting Su Luo's hand wrapped in cloth, his gaze deep.
"You're injured, Su Luo."
Seeing the boy's unpleasant expression, Su Luo belatedly realized that Lin Ji was very angry, and immediately felt that something was wrong.
