Chapter 23: The formation is completely broken
"In other words, as long as we lower the temperature to an extremely cold level, making the Fire-Swallowing Explosive Thunder mistakenly believe they are still in their old home, they will automatically enter a dormant state and won't have the energy to deal with us."
Xu Ren'er understood Mo Youli's implication and told him his entire analysis.
"But how do we get the surrounding temperature down to such low levels?"
Tang Qiuyue heard their conversation, looked around, and expressed confusion.
Lowering the temperature to the lowest level is more difficult than directly killing those fire-swallowing and explosive thunder monsters. If they had the ability to change the climate, they would have become immortals on the spot. Why would they still stay in this human world?
"It's not necessary to lower the temperature to the lowest setting. None of us can achieve such a heaven-shaking ability. Qiuyue, think carefully, was the weather extremely hot before we came to the Wuya tribe?"
"Yes. Later, Zhui Du gave each of us a Condensed Ice, and we were able to completely stop feeling the sun and heat."
After hearing this hint, Shangguan Shujie immediately understood what Xu Ren'er meant:
"You mean, we just need to change the body temperature of the Fire Swallowing Thunder."
"right!"
Xu Ren'er nodded and continued, "The key is to make the Fire-Swallowing Thunder mistakenly believe that they are still in their old home. So, we just need to change their perception. We can use Condensed Falling Ice to deal with the Fire-Swallowing Thunder!"
After hearing the solution that Xu Ren'er and Mo Youli came up with, Zhui Du didn't show any joy or relief on his face. He frowned and said a difficult point with difficulty:
"The method you provided is quite good, but I'm afraid that before the condensed falling ice can even get close to the Fire-Swallowing Explosive Thunder, it will be incinerated by the flames it spews out. There's no way to use the condensed falling ice to change the Fire-Swallowing Explosive Thunder's perception."
"We must make the condensed ice fall when it contacts the fire-swallowing blast thunder, so that the fire-swallowing blast thunder can retract the flames around it, or make the condensed ice fall without fear of flames."
Nie Erfeng concluded.
Hearing Nie Erfeng's voice, Xu Ren'er looked at Nie Erfeng, and suddenly a light bulb went off in his head.
"Erfeng, your weapon is copper wire, right? Pure copper, right? No other impurities?"
"Yes, it's pure copper. What's wrong?"
"If so, then things will be easy." Xu Ren'er raised the corner of his mouth, and the general idea had already formed in his mind.
"It's generally difficult for flames to burn copper. If you want to burn copper, its combustion point is actually very high. If you use copper wire to completely wrap the condensed ice, it may not be impossible to make the condensed ice close to swallowing fire and exploding."
As I recall, the melting point of elemental copper is 1083.4℃, which is the metal with the highest melting point among gold, silver and copper. If there was pure copper metal, they might be able to break this situation.
"The copper wire can only block the flames, but it also conducts heat. The internal temperature will continue to rise, and ice will condense and fall inside the copper wire, and it is very likely to die from the high temperature."
Shangguan Shujie raised an objection and disagreed.
"Won't."
Mo Youli smiled lightly and continued to explain in a gentle voice:
"The function of condensed ice is to absorb the heat of living beings and then quickly convert it into cold air.
Although it is wrapped in copper wire and there is no living creature inside that can allow it to absorb heat, it is actually a heat-absorbing entity, which means that any high temperature is ineffective for it.
We just need to help Condensate the Ice and avoid the direct attack of the flames."
Shangguan Shujie immediately understood after hearing this. She nodded, indicating that she had no comments.
"Then let's act quickly. Although it's still early, we don't know what will happen next. We must quickly resolve the current problem."
Seeing that no one had any objection, Xu Ren'er immediately spoke up and made the final decision.
Then she turned to Nie Erfeng and said:
"How much copper wire do you have over there? Is it enough for us?"
Nie Erfeng raised his eyebrows, made a gesture, and said confidently, "Don't worry! I guarantee you enough!"
"Do you need me to point you in the direction of the Fire Swallowing Thunder?"
Nie Mufeng took a step forward from Nie Erfeng and asked.
Fire-swallowing thunder is basically hidden in silk, ashes, or fireballs, and is also difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.
"Need not!"
Xu Ren'er was not the only one who responded. As soon as Nie Mufeng finished speaking, everyone responded quickly and unanimously.
This unanimous response left Nie Mufeng stunned.
Xu Ren'er came to Nie Mufeng and patiently explained to him, "We needed your eyes to assist us before because we really couldn't see those transparent bugs, and they were very fast, making it difficult to deal with them.
But now, although we still can't see the bugs, we can see the flames. We just need to pay close attention to where the flames are burning unusually, or in an unusual direction, and we can guess the movements of the bugs."
So that's how it is. After listening to Xu Ren'er's explanation, Nie Mufeng immediately understood what was going on and said no more.
Instead, he turned his gaze to Nie Erfeng and stretched out his hand. Seeing this, others began to follow suit, waiting for Nie Erfeng to distribute the copper wire.
Nie Erfeng: ...
Although she knew that the purpose of their doing this was to ask her for copper wire to deal with the fire-swallowing bomb, why did she feel so uncomfortable when looking at the scene in front of her?
Especially since their clear eyes were filled with strong expectations, I inexplicably had the illusion that I was distributing sweets to a group of three-year-old children.
——
The key figure in breaking the formation last time was Nie Mufeng.
The key figures in breaking the formation this time are Zhui Du and Mo Youli.
Zhui Du and Mo Youli were the only two people present who could communicate with Ning Hua Luo Bing.
Their important task is to perfectly control the condensed ice, make it follow their instructions, cooperate with the actions of several other people, and correctly attack the fire-swallowing thunder.
Zhui Du is responsible for the left area, and Mo Youli is responsible for the right area.
There are three people who are best at using silk thread, namely Nie Mufeng, Nie Erfeng, and Liu Roulei.
These three people were in charge of the front line and successfully delivered the condensed falling ice to the side of the Fire-Swallowing Explosion Thunder, changing the Fire-Swallowing Explosion Thunder's physical sensation, which would inevitably make the Fire-Swallowing Explosion Thunder mistakenly believe that he was in his hometown area at the moment, give up the attack, and enter a dormant state.
As for the rest of the people, they acted as the middle hub, transferring the condensed ice from Zhui Du and Mo Youli to the Nie siblings and Liu Roulei.
Shangguan Shujie and Tang Beiju were responsible for assisting in chasing the poison and the Nie sisters, mainly dealing with the fire-swallowing bombs in the left area.
Tang Qiuyue, Shangguan Jieshu and Xu Ren'er were responsible for assisting Mo Youli and Liu Roulei, mainly responsible for dealing with the fire-swallowing bombs in the right area.
Xu Ren'er roughly considered everyone's abilities, arranged everyone's responsible areas, and finally assigned them positions.
Mo Youli and Zhui Du stood side by side in the middle, Liu Roulei and the Nie siblings stood at the outermost edge, forming an equilateral triangle, with the three people at the vertices/points of the triangle.
As for the remaining Xu Ren'er, the Tang siblings, and the Shangguan siblings, they formed a regular pentagon, with each person standing at one of the vertices/points.
“Everyone, I still have something to say here.
No arrangement can be perfect, there will always be unexpected things happening, and everyone can adapt to the situation.
As long as the result is good, some changes in the process are fine.
The most important thing is to put your own safety first, and then successfully breaking the formation."
Before saying start, Xu Ren'er looked around, looked at everyone around him, and gave instructions.
After hearing Xu Ren'er's instructions, no one responded, but they all raised their right hands high and gave a thumbs-up, telling Xu Ren'er with their actions:
—They all listened—
Seeing this situation, Xu Ren'er couldn't help but smile.
She looked at Mo Youli who was closer to her. After they looked at each other, she withdrew her gaze and looked forward seriously.
"Let's get started! Action!"
Mo Youli glanced at Zhui Du and saw that he was ready. He took out the white jade flute hanging around his waist, put it to his lips, and spoke to the people around him.
As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Youli began to play the jade flute, and Zhui Du opened his arms and stretched out his ten fingers.
Condensed ice broke out of the ground one by one, moving towards Mo Youli little by little, climbing up Mo Youli's trouser legs, and listening to Mo Youli's request.
After hearing Mo Youli's request clearly, Ninghua Luobing quickly crawled towards Xu Ren'er, Shangguan Jieshu and Tang Qiuyue one by one. The speed was amazing, which formed a sharp contrast with the slow movement just now.
The efficiency of chasing poison was much higher than that of Mo Youli. Condensed ice shot out directly along his index finger and rushed towards Shangguan Shujie and Tang Beiju, not giving Shangguan Shujie and Tang Beiju any time to react.
Tang Beiju picked up his long sword, waved his sleeves, and jumped back and forth in the air. His long arms moved everywhere, and his long legs alternated back and forth, and only his afterimage could be seen.
He took all the condensed ice thrown by Zhui Du, and the condensed ice stayed on the sword in rows without falling.
Shangguan Shujie, who was nearby, was no less impressive. She used the pink stick/club to its full potential at this moment. The pink stick/club was spinning wildly in her hand, up and down, left and right, front and back, catching all the poison throwers one by one.
The condensed ice on Tang Beiju's sword was arranged in a horizontal row, while the condensed ice on her stick was arranged in a vertical overlapping row.
It's so fancy! I'm more efficient and concise!
When Tang Beiju and Shangguan Shujie saw each other's actions, they looked at each other and silently complained to each other in their hearts.
After catching the condensed ice, they quickly handed it to their counterparts. Tang Beiju gave it to Nie Mufeng, and Shangguan Shujie gave it to Nie Erfeng.
As for Xu Ren'er, Tang Qiuyue and Shangguan Jieshu, they could not directly touch the condensed ice to avoid accidentally hurting themselves, so they tore off some of their clothes, bent down carefully, and diligently picked up the condensed ice on the ground, then looked up and threw it to Liu Roulei.
The painting style here is too pragmatic and simple, which is inconsistent with the cool and handsome style next door.
The onlookers from the Wuya tribe couldn't help but blink when they saw this. They felt a sense of confusion as if they were watching two completely different styles being forced together.
The air was filled with tossed condensed ice. Liu Roulei and the Nie siblings each threw out dozens of copper wires from their sleeves. The end of the wire that flew out quickly caught every condensed ice in the air. With a slight movement of their fingertips, they wrapped each condensed ice tightly, leaving no gaps.
"go!"
The three of them said in unison.
As he spoke, the copper wires separated and flowed towards the surrounding burning flames, successfully delivering the condensed ice to the location of the fire-swallowing thunder.
When the delivery was successful, Mo Youli and Zhui Du paused at the same time.
The next second, Zhui Du closed his eyes and gestured frantically with his hands, while Mo Youli sped up the speed of playing the flute. The sound of the flute became more and more urgent, even a little harsh, causing many people who had some achievements in music to frown and cover their ears.
"Look! The flames are out!"
Suddenly, among the crowd of Wuya people watching, a person next to Li Huozi suddenly started shouting.
This cry instantly shifted everyone's attention from the music to the flames.
The flames really went out one by one automatically as the Nie siblings and Liu Roulei put in and took out their weapons!
In other words, this group of people actually managed to completely break the formation set up by the leader of the Wuya tribe within half an hour!
