The elder in front immediately became interested: "I brought quite a few array stones, but I wonder how many are needed for one array? Can I learn how? I've never seen an array used to set up a contract before."
His array formations are actually only at a mid-level. It's because many ancient Chinese texts have been lost, and there are still many profound insights that we can't fully understand. His array formations have always been primarily offensive, with defense as a secondary focus. The contracts are all made by beast tamers using their mental power; I've never heard of any contract arrays.
Zhu Fanfan said, "Of course it's possible, but the contract formation is quite mentally taxing. Whoever is in the formation group, I'll explain the key points to you in a bit, and anyone who wants to try it can."
Grandpa Ji's secret manual is quite complicated at the end. She also discovered the contract formation by accident. After contracting the Wolf King and Yu Xin, her mental power was greatly enhanced. During that time, she was quite interested in the contract formation and studied it for a long time. In the end, she used her superpower and mental power to restore the contract formation. However, the contract formation uses a lot of formation stones and is quite mentally taxing, so she doesn't use it much anymore.
She was curious when she learned medicine and refined the array stones in a pill furnace. Because she had a lot of the medicinal materials needed, she refined quite a few. She also asked Xi Yan to exchange them for many other things. Knowing that these things could be exchanged for good things, she refined a lot of array stones. She had as many array stones as she wanted.
Zhuge Qianxing didn't waste any time: "Tell the cars behind not to kill the snow wolf yet. Find your partners and beat the snow wolf half to death or tie it up. This is an order. If it threatens your safety, you can kill it."
After Elder Zhen finished speaking, Zhuge Qianxing ordered everyone to get out of the carriage and begin the battle.
In order to finish the battle quickly, no one held back. Some used their mental powers to control others, while others used their supernatural abilities to attack. In addition, Zhuge Qianxing and a few others also joined the fight. As a result, the once-fierce snow wolves were all on the verge of death and unable to move.
Zhu Fanfan said, "Whoever wants to form a contract can choose the one that suits their taste. I'll set up the formation first. Grandpa Formation, use my formation stone first. When I get back, I'll give you some top-grade talisman paper and cinnabar in exchange."
Elder Fu happily agreed: "Don't worry, Grandpa Zhen won't let you suffer any losses."
While the Dragon Group may lack other things, they have an abundance of resources. It's fair to say that the Dragon Group has the most complete set of information regarding superpowers.
Zhu Fanfan took out a backpack, took out array stones from it, and while placing them on the ground, explained how to use her supernatural abilities and how to distribute her mental energy. After all the array stones were placed, she asked, "Who wants to go first?"
Haibu said, "I happen to have mutated ice abilities, I'll do it."
After saying that, he picked up a snow wolf and came over. The snow wolf was on the verge of death, and there was still great fear in its eyes. Zhu Fanfan felt that even without the contract technique, the snow wolf would not betray him and would be very obedient.
Haibu stood at the place designated by Zhu Fanfan, when he suddenly felt some commands coursing through his body. He instinctively resisted them, because he thought it was Zhu Fanfan who was in charge, and he had a strange feeling, as if it could only benefit him, or as if someone was asking him to make the snow wolf loyal to him. He slowly lowered his guard, and a flash of light appeared. He felt as if something had been added to his consciousness.
If you see a cloud pattern forming on your fingernail, is that the art of contract?
Zhu Fanfan smiled. This was the first time she had ever looked down on her contracted beast like this, leaving only a fingernail-sized space for it.
The rest is easy. Zhu Fanfan asked, "Should I operate it next or do you guys try? I want to make it clear beforehand that the formation must be set up successfully in one go. There can be no pauses, no hesitations, and no distractions. If you don't understand anything, ask me now."
Elder Zhen asked, "Fanfan, let me first arrange things for you using ordinary items. See if you notice anything wrong. I want to try it out. It's getting dark soon. Shouldn't we set up camp?"
Zhuge Qianxing said, "It's indeed safer here. Let's set up camp here, just like yesterday. The men will set up tents in the carriages, the girls will rest in the driver's cab, and the rest of us old guys will be in another driver's cab. Now, a few of you will keep an eye on these snow wolves, and the rest of you will clean up these black spots."
Because they all possessed supernatural abilities, the cleanup was quick. After the cleanup was complete, they continued to stand before Elder Zhen and his group. They were also very curious about the contract technique. Contracting supernatural beasts was something they had always dreamed of. Previously, no one from the Beast Taming Group was allowed to visit, and they made it sound mysterious, saying things like it was their problem if the beasts went berserk after seeing them, or that they were scared because the beasts weren't powerful enough. They made a bunch of excuses. Fortunately, they had never looked down on supernatural beasts, which is why they weren't manipulated.
I don't know how the monsters in the group were trained, they've lost all their wildness. They show no aggression when facing strong enemies. The once majestic and powerful monsters now like to rub against people, it's so incongruous, they're like real pets.
Although Elder Zhen was old, he was very knowledgeable about formations. After learning it a few times, he passed the test and used formation stones to form a contract with a snow wolf. He never expected that after living half his life, he would finally have his own mount and battle pet. The wrinkles on his old face deepened.
Elder Zhen's success spurred the two members of the formation team to try their hand at the formation, but Elder Zhen stopped them: "We have some supplies. You can practice with the supplies first. The contract formation uses a lot of formation stones, so don't waste them. Xi Yan also said that they are not selling formation stones anymore."
After saying that, she looked at Zhu Fanfan, who shrugged, indicating that she couldn't help her. She couldn't refine it herself, and she planned to play with the rest by herself.
Elder Zhen knew there was no hope of buying from Zhu Fanfan. He hadn't originally connected with the person who sold them the array stones, but the array stones Zhu Fanfan produced were all radiant and full of energy, of the same quality as the ones Xi Yan had bought from a mysterious array master who refused to reveal his name. So he knew where Xi Yan had bought them from.
The two were quite confident, and following Elder Zhen's advice, they familiarized themselves with the steps first. After making two mistakes, they succeeded. They used the array stones to set up the array and successfully formed a contract on the first try. Elder Zhen looked at the two and his wrinkles deepened with laughter.
By the time everyone had completed their contracts, it was already dark. Those with fire abilities lit a fire, heated up the food, and chatted while eating. Because of what had happened in the past two days, the barriers between them had disappeared, and the group was having a lively conversation.
Since there was no entertainment, they prepared to rest after dinner. Zhu Fanfan and the two sisters, Yuanman and Zhu Fanfan, whispered a few words in the car. Before they knew it, it was quite late. Just as they were about to rest, Zhu Fanfan suddenly felt a warning from her spiritual power.
Pushing the two sisters, I asked, "Look outside, is something going on?"
At the same time, Xue Dao cried out, and Zhu Fanfan immediately pulled the alarm.
