Chapter 135
Cheng Hui nodded.
There wasn't much cover on the island, so he could only shrink as much as possible and hide...
"Go and take a look." Uncle Gui said.
Cheng Hui nodded.
There wasn't much cover on the island, so he could only shrink his body as much as possible and hide behind some bushes.
He quietly approached the shore and saw a woman lying on the beach.
"How did this person get here? Leaning against a wooden board?" He looked at the wooden board next to the woman, feeling a little unbelievable.
Uncle Gui also noticed the wooden plank and scoffed, "She's lucky. Something unexpected happened... No, this island isn't so easy to find. She must have something special on her."
Cheng Hui observed carefully and couldn't help feeling lucky that he had cleaned up all the traces he left behind when he went to the island, otherwise he would have been discovered immediately.
The woman... no, the ghost girl, lay on the beach and rested for a while, then got up from the ground.
She took out some information from her pocket. Cheng Hui took a look from a distance and immediately determined the identity of this person.
There's no escaping. This is the person who set the trap for me.
Cheng Hui gritted his teeth secretly, thinking about how to kill the other person.
I didn't expect this person to be so lucky. Such a ferocious monster couldn't kill her, and she even managed to escape.
"Be careful, this person's strength... may be extraordinary." Uncle Gui reminded in a low voice.
Cheng Hui was alert in his heart. The difference in strength between cultivators of each level was very obvious. It was not impossible to challenge cultivators of a higher level, but the prerequisites were very harsh.
He never thought of himself as a brilliant person, but rather he was always very cautious.
He felt that instead of being suppressed to the extreme and then suddenly fighting back, it would be better to carefully set a trap from the beginning and launch an attack by ambush, which would be much safer than fighting back.
So, he analyzed the female ghost's possible next move... Actually, there was nothing to analyze.
The most conspicuous thing on the island is the three-story stone tower. If the female ghost was not blind, she would definitely go to see what it is.
So, he set up a large number of magic arrays along the route the opponent was most likely to take.
He knew that the other party was also a master of formations, and it was impossible for him to be lured into attacking the formation foolishly and then be killed by the counterattack as he had done before.
For a formation master, when faced with a formation, the first choice is always to break the formation rather than using violence.
No one understands the wonders of formations better than the formation master. Once a move is made, it is hard to say whether the move will hit the formation or yourself.
Cheng Hui set up the formation very quickly. In order to achieve this, he paid a considerable price, which made him cry when he talked about it.
Fortunately, once he became proficient, his speed in setting up the formation became his advantage. In less than a minute, he had completed the simplest formation.
Seeing that the female ghost was still resting, he continued to set up the formation. This time, he used the simplest formation as a disguise and hid more than three linked formations underneath.
All the formations are linked together to ensure that no matter who is caught, they will fall into the trap.
A head-on battle is impossible, and they can only secretly set up a few traps to survive...
Uncle Gui was not an expert in formations, but he was definitely familiar with them. Therefore, when he saw Cheng Hui setting up dense traps in the formation, he was completely shocked.
"No... Changling taught you the formation, right? Is that how he taught you?"
Uncle Gui was shocked. I never thought that a man like you, Changling, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, could be so sinister...
"Well... not really, but it is somewhat related." Cheng Hui felt that it was not a good idea to put all the blame on Chang Ling.
How should I put it... the reason he can be so 'creative' when setting up the formation is mainly because of the advanced information in modern society, combined with Changling's teachings... Anyway, it has become what it is now.
The female ghost had already started moving towards the stone tower, and Cheng Hui quickly hid.
Not long after, the female ghost stepped into the range of the formation.
Cheng Hui raised the corner of his mouth slightly. The limitation of the formation is that it is fixed. If the enemy does not enter the range of the formation, no matter how powerful the formation is, it will not be able to work.
Therefore, when he was learning, he put a lot of hard work into hiding the formation, and several battles also proved that he did quite well in this regard.
Even a master of formations like the female ghost fell into his trap.
"Solved." Cheng Hui stood up straight and stretched.
Uncle Ghost's eyes widened. "Is that all? That female ghost might be a Jindan cultivator. Are you sure you've solved it?"
Although Uncle Gui has been with Cheng Hui for more than a year, he has been teaching Cheng Hui most of the time how to use the various conditions provided by the environment to hunt.
As for formations, Chang Ling did not allow Cheng Hui to eavesdrop when he was teaching him, and he rarely saw Cheng Hui using them. Therefore, even though Cheng Hui always said that he was proficient in formations, he did not really believe it. After all... in his opinion, Cheng Hui had only been practicing for a short time, and the fact that he had reached the foundation-building stage was enough to prove that he had good talent, and it was unlikely that he would have time to learn other miscellaneous subjects.
Yes, in Uncle Gui’s eyes, whether it is alchemy or weapon refining, including the formation that Cheng Hui is learning, they are all miscellaneous studies.
He has always believed that cultivation is the foundation of a cultivator. As long as the cultivation is high enough, the other things are just icing on the cake.
For this reason, Changling often quarreled with him and deeply despised his ignorance.
But no matter what, Uncle Gui was really good to Cheng Hui, but there was no way he could make him believe that such a young Cheng Hui was already a master of formations.
Cheng Hui raised his head, a rare gesture: "You underestimated me! Who am I? A genius in formation is no more than this."
This is not Cheng Hui bragging. He is very talented in formation, and this has been proven by Chang Ling.
Considering the hellish training he underwent during that year, it might be a bit of an exaggeration to say that he is a master of formations, but there is no problem in calling him a grandmaster of formations.
"I knew you would do this." Cheng Hui proudly took out a small mirror. This was a magic tool he made under Chang Ling's guidance. It was specially used to observe the situation inside the formation.
This thing is not difficult to make and the materials used are not expensive. The only limitation is that only the owner of the formation can control it, but this is not a big problem for Cheng Hui.
Uncle Gui looked at the mirror, which showed the situation in the magic circle.
The female ghost felt something was wrong the moment she stepped into the magic circle, but it was too late. There was white mist behind her, and everything she had seen before had completely disappeared.
"Heh, a mere trifle." The female ghost was indeed a master of formations. She quickly found the key to the formation and quickly cracked the formation.
However, after the formation was broken, no way out appeared, but instead three forked roads appeared. The female ghost looked solemnly at the three roads that obviously had different styles, and hesitated for a moment.
Of these three roads, one shines with warm white light, one flashes with ominous black light, and the other is plain and ordinary, as if it is just an ordinary road.
However, it is precisely this ordinariness that makes the female ghost very fearful.
At this time, she already knew that she had met a master, and the choices given by the other party must be very dangerous. Whether it was black light or white light, it was very strange for the female ghost, and the ordinary road was even stranger. She would never believe that the other party would really give a safe and worry-free road.
After much deliberation, the female ghost finally chose the black road. The white light gave people a warm feeling, but she was a female ghost, and the white light inexplicably reminded her of a very unpleasant memory.
The bald man who had once seriously injured her was shining with a warm light all over his body.
So, she naturally chose the black path.
"Tsk, this person is just too suspicious." Cheng Hui looked at the female ghost's choice and gloated outside.
There is actually not much difference between these three roads. If you really want to compare, the ordinary road is the safest.
Of course, safety does not mean it is simple. At the end of Cheng Hui's three roads are illusion arrays, leading to heaven, hell and the human world respectively. Not to mention the first two, the angels and demons in them are not easy to deal with. The most important thing is that the female ghost has never seen such creatures. After accepting Cheng Hui's "setting", she will unconsciously imagine these two creatures to be very powerful.
The most dangerous thing about the illusion array is that when you think it is real, the harm it causes to you becomes real. Therefore, angels and demons are the most likely people to kill the female ghost.
Although the human world is equally dangerous, the female ghost has seen humans. No matter how Cheng Hui sets it up, the abilities of "humans" are limited, so his setting for the human world is more about confusing her through illusions. He even made up a story line for her with a heroine based on the novels he had read in the past.
If she was completely addicted, she would eventually die silently in the illusion.
It is precisely because these three roads are very dangerous that Cheng Hui feels that the female ghost is dead.
Unfortunately, he didn't know that this female ghost was not a real female ghost. If he really chose the human world, he would soon feel uncomfortable with the setting of the heroine and wake up from the illusion. At that time, Cheng Hui's illusion array would be broken.
Unfortunately... the female ghost was too suspicious and missed the option that was easiest for him to break through.
Cheng Hui watched leisurely outside, watching the female ghost struggling in hell. Hell is a real hell. Cheng Hui's conception of hell comes entirely from the Western Bible. He deliberately did not choose the Yama Palace in the east because he hoped that the female ghost would have no impression of this creature with horns on its head and wings on its back. This would allow him to fully exert the influence of the illusion array.
One has to admit that this female ghost is the strongest Jindan cultivator Cheng Hui has ever seen. This strength is not only reflected in her own strength, but also in the numerous magical weapons on her body.
Cheng Hui did make the devil very powerful, and the female ghost believed it, but she had too many magic weapons on her body. When she encountered a dangerous situation, she would throw out a magic weapon to self-destruct. In the end, Cheng Hui was helpless and could only watch expressionlessly as this krypton gold boss blasted a passage entirely with the magic weapons.
Is it great to be a big spender?
Yes, he is truly amazing.
Fortunately, no matter how powerful the krypton gold boss is, he can't resist the humanoid cheat. With Cheng Hui secretly modifying the settings in the background, the female ghost finally used up all her magic weapons. After fighting the last demon, she fell to the ground seriously injured.
Cheng Hui secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Fortunately, if she had insisted a little longer, he would have to perform a live showdown.
