Chapter 279 I am a little fish (34)
Their first formation had the moon as its key theme, and the songs extended from the moon, conveying information related to their hometown and homeland.
The key theme of this formation is high temperature, while the songs are related to the body, soul, and refining.
6058 They have obtained fragments of images or information about songs from the three formations they have encountered so far.
Their first key element of the formation was a mirror, which revealed fragments of a puppet standing in the rain.
The key theme of the second formation is mechanisms. At the end of the formation, a melody similar to a war song is heard, which also tells information related to war and prisoners.
The key theme of the third formation was poison gas, but unfortunately, this formation was broken by a heretical cultivator among our companions, and we did not obtain any additional information.
After they followed them out of the formation, the evil cultivator saw that the puppet's feet at the formation's core could not be collected and refined. He originally wanted to destroy the core directly, so he almost went berserk due to the influence of the shadow outside the formation.
Fortunately, Lu Mingguang suppressed them later; otherwise, the entire group would probably have been affected.
After Jingli and Mengli had been walking for a while, Jingli received another message from 6058, informing them that they had emerged from the previous formation.
[6058: We've found a way to exploit a bug to enter the main formation. We'll go ahead first, and you can come over when you encounter the next formation eye.]
After several guesses and experiments with various formations, 6058 and Lu Mingguang discovered that the time it takes to enter one formation from one formation eye is based on the time flow within the formation, which is equivalent to the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
If the array's core is not retracted at this time, then others can enter the array. If the core is retracted, the array will collapse and entry will be impossible.
However, if the array's core is retracted at the right time during the array's cycle, it's similar to a program encountering a bug, giving the opportunity to escape the surrounding smaller arrays and enter the main array.
Of course, there is another way, which is to collect all the small formations according to the original plan, and the main formation will naturally appear.
but……
Jingli calculated that, based on their progress, of the three formations they had passed so far, only the second story formation had resulted in relatively large casualties; the others had been relatively unscathed.
Including the feedback from 6058, apart from some casualties in the first mirror formation and the formation that the evil cultivator broke earlier, the other two formations did not suffer much damage.
If all the smaller formations are eliminated, there will inevitably be many people entering the main formation. Among them, there will be even more people who want to obtain the Bell of Rebirth and search for cracks in the formation, which means they will have more opponents. This is not a good approach.
Jingli had a plan in mind. After deciding on this formation, she would find a way to stall Mengli and go to the main formation to meet up with 6058.
After all, all or part of the fragments belonging to Chun Qi hidden in this formation have now been integrated into Chun Xiaopian. Even if there are still fragments, they will be integrated together once the main formation's core is closed.
Do not conflict.
After thinking about all this, Jingli suddenly felt a bit cold, and only then did she realize that they had already entered the next formation.
Chun Xiaopian was still in his arms, and Meng Li was beside him. This time, the three of them did not get separated.
What came into view was a scene of snow-white and ice-blue—they were in the middle of a snow-capped mountain.
A vast expanse of white should appear expansive in terms of visual effect, but this is not the case.
Jingli didn't know how to describe the scene before her—
The snow-covered ground was littered with bare tree trunks, the thinnest of which required three people to encircle. They were bare, yet so tall they seemed to reach for the sky, making one feel like an ant trapped in a cage of ferocious beasts.
Looking at the ground, there are occasional raised or sunken sections, as flat as steps trodden by a giant beast, giving it an indescribable eeriness.
It was as if their surroundings were made up of giant pixels, yet the creatures nearby were so real, creating a dreamlike atmosphere.
Chun Xiaopian was woken up by the cold. She opened her eyes groggily, rubbed them, and leaned against Jingli, letting out a soft sigh: "So tired."
Jingli rubbed his head and took out a small gourd filled with water from her spatial storage: "Drink some water, are you hungry?"
Chun Xiaopian hugged the gourd. The gourd was a bit too big for him, like a baby hugging a big baby bottle, which was quite cute.
After taking a couple of sips, Chun Xiaopian wiped her mouth and returned the gourd to Jingli: "I'm not hungry, Master, please put me down."
"What did you just call me?" Jingli asked, her face filled with shock.
Chun Xiaopian was probably really sleepy and didn't realize anything was wrong. Instead, she emphasized, "Master."
Jingli couldn't hold back any longer and lowered her voice to command, "Call me brother."
“Oh,” Chun Xiaopian blinked, “Master brother.”
Before Jingli could reply, he reached out and patted Jingli's face: "Master, are your hands tired? Put me down."
Okay, it's still not fixed.
Chun Xiaopian wasn't very heavy, but Jingli saw that he was still listless, so she didn't put him down.
He took out a warm cloak from his space, gave one to Meng Li and one to himself. Since there was no one in Chun Xiaopian's size, Jing Li wrapped the little guy up properly to keep him warm.
It should be close to noon now, the sun is shining, there is no fog in the snow-capped mountains for the time being, and the visibility is good.
It was precisely because of the good visibility that the perfectly orderly large blocks of snow in front of him were even more unsettling.
Without dwelling on it too much, the three continued forward, trying to find a way to break the formation.
Not long after they started walking, they heard the sounds of fighting ahead.
Meng Li made a gesture to stop the march and use her senses to investigate the situation ahead.
Jingli wasn't idle either, using energy to sense things.
The fighting took place in front of two groups of people, each wearing different uniforms that looked quite familiar.
On one side were the disciples of Misty Mountain, whose faces were painted in the color of brain matter, and on the other side were the disciples of Lingxiao Sect, whose faces were painted in a gradient color.
Both sides were led by familiar faces—the Misty Mountain side had the hot-tempered Xiao Piao and his lackeys, who had dealt with Jing Li and his group before outside the formation and in the first formation, while the Lingxiao Sect side had Ah Huo, who always seemed indifferent.
Jingli glanced at Mengli and asked her telepathically if she wanted to go and help.
Meng Li shook her head.
Jingli thought about it and agreed. With Xiao Piao's skill level, Ah Huo should be able to easily handle him.
As expected, Xiao Piao said a few harsh words, and Ah Huo didn't even bother to lift his eyelids. He just fanned himself a couple of times and scared the other side half to death.
Xiao Piao roared in a fit of impotence, "The Lingxiao Sect only knows how to bully the weak."
A junior disciple of the Lingxiao Sect sneered, "If you're so capable, why don't you let your senior brother take you under his wing!"
Judging from the surface situation of Misty Mountain, this is simply reopening old wounds.
Unbeknownst to anyone, the current senior disciple of Lingxiao Sect is one of the senior disciples of Piaomiao Mountain.
Just thinking about this made Jingli's lips twitch. If you looked closely, Ah Huo had also just smiled.
The smile carried obvious contempt, and contained emotions that Jingli was not yet aware of.
