Chapter 194 Assignment of Tasks
"Yun Han, if this is really a dragon-trapping formation, do you have a way to break it?" Ning Xuan asked Yun Han.
"Yes, but in order to find the center of the formation, you still need a detailed diagram of the formation. This information alone is not enough." Yun Han replied.
"Let's go back today. Wang Yue, make a few more hot air balloons. We'll try it with the hot air balloons first." Ning Xuan said.
"There's no need to go through so much trouble, master. If there really is the formation he mentioned, and the formation is aimed at living objects, there shouldn't be any problem simply releasing a hot air balloon. But if we put people up there, it may not be a problem. So let me go up and take a look." Di Youlin said eagerly.
Ning Xuan was a little hesitant. It wasn't that she didn't believe in Di Youlin's ability, but she just didn't want him to take risks.
"Don't worry, Master. I swept the interstellar battlefield when I was a teenager. Although my strength has been suppressed here, I still have the ability to protect myself. I will go up and take a look. If the situation is not right, I will come back immediately." Emperor Youlin said so, Ning Xuan nodded and said, "Okay, then you must be careful. If there is any unusual movement, withdraw immediately."
Di Youlin grinned, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes: "Master, don't worry, it's just a pile of broken stones. Even if there is a formation, it can't do anything to me."
After saying that, he spread his wings, his figure flashed, and he turned into a stream of light and rose from the ground.
Ning Xuan also mobilized her spiritual power and stepped on the flying disc made of the wings of the flying elephant ants. She then took off into the air right after them, ready to respond at any time.
Di Youlin flew to a height of dozens of meters above the stone forest and began to descend tentatively. He estimated that he would be able to see the shape of the stone pillars clearly when he descended to a height of about ten meters.
Just when Di Youlin descended to about 20 meters, he suddenly felt the air around him stagnate, as if invisible shackles were wrapped around his limbs.
Di Youlin snorted coldly, and golden light suddenly surged around him, shattering the binding force.
"There is something strange." His eyes flashed, and he became more cautious. His descent slowed down a lot. After descending a few meters, Di Youlin could vaguely see the arrangement of the stone pillars below. Just as Di Youlin was looking for the distribution pattern of those short and round stone pillars, he found that the stone pillars in the stone forest began to move slowly. As they intertwined with each other, a large formation pattern appeared on the ground, emitting a dazzling black light.
The black light turned into the shape of a big hand and grabbed Di Youlin.
"Di Youlin, be careful." Ning Xuan shouted nervously, urging the Flying Elephant Ant's Ant Wing Flying Disc, wanting to rush forward to help.
"Don't come over, I'm fine." Di Youlin shouted. Facing the black hand that was rushing towards him, he did not retreat but went straight to it. He flapped his wings, and the edges of his wings were burning with blazing flames.
"It's just a remnant spirit, not worth mentioning." The flames on Di Youlin's body forced back the black hand. Di Youlin swooped down and slashed at the problematic stone pillar below with a sword. The strong sword energy flattened some of the originally towering stone pillars.
Wang Yue on the ground looked up in amazement: "This... this is too strong!"
"Ms. Ning, I can go and lend a helping hand to him." Qinghe clasped his fists and asked for permission. Qinghe also wanted to call Ning Xuan "master", but he was not worthy of doing so at the moment.
“No!” Yun Han looked up and said to Ning Xuan, “The formation has been fully activated. Rushing in will only make the situation worse!”
Ning Xuan nodded and said to Qinghe, "Let's observe the situation first."
Di Youlin swung out more than ten swords in succession, and the stone pillars below had become a mess, with stones flying everywhere. However, there were more and more black shadows flowing in the stone forest. Di Youlin's figure flying in the air gradually became unstable, and occasionally he was hit by a shadow, and his body would suddenly fall. Although he was able to stabilize his body in time every time to avoid colliding with the sharp stone pillars, Ning Xuan was very nervous watching him.
"Di Youlin, come back first." Ning Xuan shouted.
When Di Youlin heard Ning Xuan's order, he did not hesitate and immediately flew upwards with all his strength. After three attempts, he finally flew up. When he rose to about 40 meters below, the strange traction finally disappeared.
Di Youlin flew back and slowly fell from the sky. Just as Di Youlin came to Ning Xuan's side, he heard the sound of stones colliding behind him. He turned back to look at the stone forest and saw that the stone pillars that he had smashed into pieces had returned to their original state in a short time.
His face was slightly pale, and there was a bit of shame in his eyes, "Master, the formation of the stone forest is indeed a bit strange."
Ning Xuan stepped forward quickly and supported his shaking body. "Formation is troublesome to begin with. You should take a rest first. There is no rush to break the formation. We can find a way together."
Di Youlin said aggrievedly, "If my power hadn't been suppressed, I could have dug out these broken stones with one sword. This feeling of being suppressed is too frustrating."
"However, I have just written down the approximate positions of the low stone pillars, and I will draw it now." Di Youlin was attacked when he was trying hard to remember the distribution pattern of the stone pillars. Fortunately, Di Youlin has high mental power and outstanding memory.
Although he only took a quick look at it, he was able to remember most of it.
Seeing that Di Youlin continued to draw the pattern drawn by Zhang Nan, Yun Han nodded to Ning Xuan affirmatively, "It is the Dragon Trapping Formation. He drew it in quite detail. I will try to calculate the position of the center of the formation."
The reason why Yun Han was able to bring an independent legion to the position of a first-level elite legion in just a few years was not only because of his strong combat effectiveness and family support, but also because he was proficient in various formations.
Yun Han spent about half an hour circling three locations on the blueprint that Di Youlin had added. "As long as these three stone pillars are destroyed, the formation can be broken."
"Very good, Di Youlin, I'll leave this stone pillar to you. You should fly into the air and rush down, then destroy it with all your strength. Can you do it?" Ning Xuan pointed to the stone pillar farthest from the edge and gave Di Youlin the task.
"Yes." Di Youlin answered quickly.
"The one in the middle is under the charge of Yun Han and I."
"Qinghe, you are responsible for the outermost one. Let's calculate the time and act together to break it in one strike. Lin Mo, you support Qinghe." Ning Xuan assigned tasks to everyone.
"Master, it's too risky for you to go." Lin Mo disagreed with Ning Xuan's participation in the operation.
Although Yun Han didn't dare to refute Ning Xuan, he nodded frantically when Lin Mo raised his objection. Others also unanimously disagreed with Ning Xuan taking the risk.
"Among us, I am the only one who can fly except Di Youlin. It is much more convenient to act from the air than to go deep into the stone forest. As long as we cooperate well according to the agreed time, there will be no problem."
