Chapter 699: The Death-Reversal Formation
The medicinal power of the elixir was being slowly absorbed, and Huangfu Song's complexion slowly returned to normal.
He looked around at the densely packed frozen coffins, pondered for a moment, and replied: "Although these ice crystals are arranged in a disorderly manner and are simply piled up, seemingly without any rules. But based on my many years of experience dealing with formations, this place may be..."
As he spoke, he took out a set of jade plates for breaking formations, projected a screen of light in front of everyone, and started calculating on the spot.
In the light curtain, the countless ice coffins that had been seen before all turned into black dots, which were located and recorded. Then the viewing angle of the picture kept rising, and the number and speed of the black dots appeared increased rapidly.
It can be vaguely seen from the light curtain that these ice coffins are not all crowded together, but are indeed bound by some force and arranged according to an unknown pattern.
"We can't see the whole picture yet. Perhaps we can only explore this place completely before we can see what kind of formation covers this mysterious area." Huangfu Song looked at the light curtain for a long time, then shook his head and said with some regret.
"Then don't just stand there, let's set off quickly. If we stay here for too long, who knows what strange things we will encounter." Dongfang Yao called, and the three continued to explore the remaining unknown areas.
I don’t know how much time passed.
"Stop!" Dongfang Yao suddenly raised his hand, blocking the way forward.
"Brother Dongfang, what did you find?" Li Fan looked around and didn't find anything wrong.
Dongfang Yao had a puzzled look on his face, as if he was listening attentively and trying to figure out something.
After a moment, his eyes were fixed on the bottom of the black and silent sea.
"There seems to be something alive in this sea. Like..."
"Some kind of monster?" Dongfang Yao asked uncertainly.
Huangfu Song was horrified when he heard this: "It's impossible. This sea water is completely composed of deathly aura. Let alone ordinary monsters, even if we cultivators accidentally fall into it and are contaminated by the deathly aura, we won't be able to survive for long."
Li Fan was also looking at the extremely calm black sea, thinking: "The ultimate death, and rebirth..."
"I believe in Brother Dongfang's judgment." He suggested, "If there really is a Dead Sea monster that lives here all year round, maybe our hope of escaping this predicament depends on it. Brother Dongfang, you can understand the monster's language, why don't you try to communicate with it?"
Dongfang Yao hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded. A strange sound came out of his throat, with ups and downs. It was like a real ancient monster roaring.
Soon, ripples suddenly appeared on the sea surface that seemed to have remained unchanged for thousands of years.
"There really are living creatures?!" Huangfu Song looked shocked.
Dongfang Yao cursed inwardly: "Damn it, this ghost thing didn't understand what I said and was scared away instead!"
"It's okay, we just follow it. Brother Dongfang, lead the way!" Li Fan instructed in a deep voice.
Dongfang Yao reacted immediately, and hurriedly identified the movements of the strange beast under the Black Sea, and flew after it.
Li Fan and Huangfu Song followed closely behind.
The unknown beast was not moving very fast, and the three of them followed it slowly.
During the chase, Li Fan could feel with his naked eyes that the number of ice coffins around him seemed to be gradually decreasing.
"It was right here, and it suddenly disappeared!" Suddenly, Dongfang Yao stopped and turned to look at Li Fan and the others.
After Li Fan flew upwards for a distance, he looked around.
Countless ice coffins shaped like small dots formed lines that looked like black dragons stretching from the horizon.
People from all directions gather here.
These lines are like earth veins, flowing and gathering all the dead energy in this maze here.
It is extremely rich, with a subtle qualitative change taking place.
Huangfu Song also flew to Li Fan's side, and after careful observation, he found some clues.
"This seems to be the center of the huge formation that covers this maze." His face was full of solemnity.
"The center of the formation, doesn't that mean we can get out from here?" Dongfang Yao said happily.
Huangfu Song shook his head: "I don't know the whole picture of the formation yet, so I can't draw a conclusion. It's possible that they can escape from this trap, or it's possible..."
"Trigger the formation to counterattack." Li Fan continued Huangfu Song's words, "The scale of the formation here is rare in the world. Especially since it is vaguely related to the way of life and death, it is extremely strange. I am afraid that even a powerful person with the way of harmony may not be able to survive the attack of the formation."
Huangfu Song looked at Li Fan, with a hint of surprise in his eyes: "Brother Li is also familiar with the formation?"
"I just have a little understanding." Li Fan nodded slightly, which was considered an admission.
"What should I do now? Just stay here and waste time. I feel like I've been affected by the death energy, and my vitality is slipping away. I even feel back pain." Dongfang Yao muttered to himself, hesitated for a moment, then took out an elixir of immortality and swallowed it.
"Damn, that's much better." He absorbed the medicinal power much faster than Huangfu Song, and instantly became full of energy again.
"We still need to understand the entire picture of the formation." Li Fan and Huangfu Song looked at each other and finally said in unison.
"We need to speed up." Huangfu Songzheng said, and coughed lightly. His face was gloomy, and he had no choice but to take the elixir of immortality to delay the loss of vitality.
For a long time, they had not found any danger other than the loss of vitality in the maze, and there were not many elixirs left. So the three of them let go and tried their best to escape.
After Huangfu Song swallowed the last pill, they finally completed the complete mapping of the formation here.
"A stroke of genius, a stroke of genius."
Huangfu Song stared at the image on the light screen projected by the Jade Plate of Breaking the Formation, and couldn't help but mutter to himself.
Even Li Fan couldn't help but be attracted by the exquisiteness of this unknown formation.
According to common sense, with Huangfu Song and his attainments in formation, he doesn't even need to see the whole picture to judge the basic use of the formation and even deduce the remaining parts of the formation.
but……
In front of this extraordinary formation that was made up of hundreds of billions of frozen monks, everything they had learned and experienced was useless.
Before seeing the complete formation diagram, this formation was like a dragon hidden in the depths of the forest, covered by clouds and mist. If you didn't know the existence of the "dragon" beforehand, you couldn't tell what you were seeing.
Until the last part of the formation appeared before their eyes.
The final array sequence instantly connected everything that had been seen before, like the finishing touch, making the array magical and complete.
This formation is so wonderful that it is difficult to describe in words.
It seems to contain the wonders of heaven and earth and be able to defy the laws of life and death.
Li Fan and Huangfu Song were lost in thought for a long time in front of the rough sketch of the formation, unable to speak.
Can he escape from the center of the formation?
They don't know either.
There is still a little more than one chapter to go, so don't wait any longer, brothers.
