"This is it." The center of the desert was covered in vast expanses of sand. Even the poplar trees that had been everywhere just now were becoming increasingly rare, until now they were completely invisible. Yuan Zhicheng looked at the obvious dent in the ground, nodded, and pulled out the box he had just found from the ground. Then he turned and looked at the remaining people: "Let's get started."
"Okay." Nodding cautiously, Zhao Hanyun and Zou Li stood aside, forming a triangle with Jiang Lao, surrounding Yuan Zhicheng in the middle, staring at his movements, not daring to relax for a moment.
Yuan Zhicheng held the box in his hand and took out a portable shovel from his pocket. He started digging into the ground little by little. He didn't dig very deep, just enough to put the box in. Then he looked up at the people around him, nodded, and started working at the same time as Zhao Hanyun and the others.
Zhao Hanyun made complicated hand gestures, and as the spiritual energy was released, the hand gestures also appeared in the air. Not only in front of her, but also in front of Zou Li, a pattern appeared at the same time, as did Old Jiang. Similarly, Yuan Zhicheng in the middle also began to move, taking over the spiritual energy patterns that appeared around him one by one, and began to arrange them around the box. However, as Zhao Hanyun and Zou Li's speed accelerated faster and faster, Yuan Zhicheng gradually fell behind.
"Old Jiang, please help me quickly." Yuan Zhicheng took the spiritual pattern in a hurry. He began to feel a little tired, and was also surprised that the strength of the two little guys had increased a lot.
Old Jiang also noticed the problem and hurried to Yuan Zhicheng's side to help. Seeing that his position was taken over by Zou Li, he did not slow down, but started to speed up and hurriedly started to work with Yuan Zhicheng. Fortunately, these things were placed in the same position, and except for the two little guys who were a little fast, the two of them could still handle it if they adapted.
It was like building a magical space. As Yuan Zhicheng and Old Jiang drew pictures with their hands, the inconspicuous spiritual patterns complemented each other and began to connect on their own. To the naked eye, one could detect a trace of adhesion. After emitting dazzling light, they quickly dimmed. Because Zhao Hanyun and his team kept carving and Yuan Zhicheng and his team kept installing, a circular pattern began to gradually spread out from the middle of the box to the outside, with a diameter of one kilometer.
"Hu." Yuan Zhicheng and General Jiang pressed the last pattern and slowly exhaled. A long time had passed by then. The scorching sky and the sun hanging high in the sky had long disappeared. The only light turned into the pattern that had just been completed on the ground, a circular pattern that was slowly rotating. The temperature around them also dropped a lot. There was a strong wind blowing by, but it did not blow the sand here at all.
Zhao Hanyun tried to sense the existence of this place. After a while, he looked at Zou Li with a happy expression: "Try it, there is really no reaction."
"Well, we succeeded." Zou Li also looked at Zhao Hanyun with a smile. This girl was really clever. This formation was simply a trap. Of course, only those with bad intentions would be affected.
Even as they were talking, the pattern in front of them suddenly stopped moving, as if gathering momentum to release. A beam of light shot up into the sky, heading straight for the horizon. Zhao Hanyun and the others floated in mid-air, watching the pillar of light rising. At the same time, many pillars of light rose up in the distance, corresponding to the ones on this side. Then, a thread of light quickly emerged from the top of the pillar of light here, and quickly floated towards the nearest pillar of light. The light soon reached the other side, and Zhao Hanyun saw that the pillar of light received the thread of light, and soon, like the first one, threads of light began to float to the side. And so on, the pillars of light were connected together.
"It's the eightieth one, with only one left." Yuan Zhicheng calculated the time and looked at the light thread that was getting closer and closer with some emotion. Seeing it connect with the one in front of him, he became even more excited and jumped in the air like a child: "Haha, I finally succeeded!"
Old Jiang was also excited at the side. He looked at the hand that Yuan Zhicheng extended. The two of them clashed their palms and then looked at Zhao Hanyun: "You girl, you are really capable. Not bad, really good. And this formation is really good!"
Of course, Zhao Hanyun didn't say anything, because after the two old men finished speaking, they went back to admire the light column.
"It's so hard. I really shouldn't have let you take over that position." Zou Li looked at Zhao Hanyun's somewhat tired face, knowing what she had done for this moment. He looked at her with some heartache, and only when he hugged her in his arms did he feel relieved.
"What can I do? My aunt has two children, and I heard she's expecting another one. My master looks old, and I'm just here temporarily. Don't worry, now that things are done, it would be unreasonable if the higher-ups don't disband this organization." Zhao Hanyun leaned in Zou Li's arms. She was of course very happy about her success. Take the box for example, it was made of wood from trees that had been in her space for tens of thousands of years, and it had been continuously blessed by the Dark Clan, making its aura as undetectable as that of the Dark Clan. Then she carved talismans inside it, making a total of ninety-nine and eighty-one of them. Zhao Hanyun had people bury them around China. If something hadn't gone wrong and someone had intercepted the things, she wouldn't have made this trip in person.
"Hmph, if you don't let me go, I'll go find the old man to settle the score." Zou Li had no habit of giving face to others. These people are all holding his wife hostage, right? Can she do this alone? Is it possible that the earth will not turn without her?
While Zhao Hanyun and the others were admiring this strange sight, people all over the world also noticed this. Many people who had not yet returned home and were wandering outside looked at the flickering light in the sky in amazement, and their mobile phones kept taking pictures. Then, just like that, more and more people woke up, and then studied the light and discussed it.
"Hurry up and send someone to dispel the rumor, how can this be tolerated!" This order was conveyed simultaneously in many offices. As the order was passed down one by one, many people were sent out. They quickly drove the people on the street back home and suppressed the restless media reporters. By the way, they issued orders to all newspapers and news rooms. Only then did they realize that all the beams of light in the sky had disappeared long ago. Then, as if a flash of inspiration came to them, they looked at themselves and the people around them inexplicably.
"What are we doing? Aren't we getting off work? Let's go drink."
