Cola Novels, turn to the next page, it is another world.
The two continued to explore along the edge of the mountain wall into the valley.
Old Zhao was walking half a step ahead, his footsteps silent, his eyes sweeping back and forth between the valley bottom and the mountain wall. Li Yuan followed behind, holding Spirit Detection Disk in his hand, and his spiritual power continued to pour into it.
The fluctuations on the disk are getting denser and denser.
It's not in one direction, it's in all directions. The extremely weak Spiritual Qi waves are like a layer of mist spread across the entire valley bottom, seeping up from the ground, uniform, continuous, and without a clear source.
After walking another few dozen feet, Li Yuan's pace slowed down.
It's not because the fluctuations have changed, it's because the things under my feet are wrong.
There are many stones scattered on the gravel ground at the bottom of the valley, of different sizes and shapes. Most of them are the same color as the surrounding rock formations, gray and black, with sharp edges and corners, and are naturally collapsed from the mountain wall.
But there are a few things that are different.
Scattered among the gravel, it is lighter in color, off-white, with a round and smooth surface, without edges and corners. When placed together with the surrounding gray-black gravel, it is like a handful of white beans scattered among a pile of black sesame seeds.
Looks very ordinary.
It just doesn't feel right to put it here.
The mountain wall is made of gray-black rock formations, and the fallen gravel should also be gray-black. These gray-white stones do not look like they were formed naturally, but more like they were placed here.
Li Yuan squatted down and stretched out his hand to pick up the nearest piece.
It is about the size of a fist, slightly cool in the hand, and weighs about the same as an ordinary stone.
Just an ordinary stone.
Li Yuan turned it over and looked at it. The surface was smooth, with no Spirit Pattern and no spiritual power fluctuations.
He put the stone back in its place, stood up, walked a few steps forward, and squatted down next to another gray-white stone.
This piece is smaller than the one just now, about the size of an egg.
When you put your finger on it, it's still an ordinary stone.
Li Yuan frowned, raised his hand and released a bit of spiritual power towards the stone.
Fire Arrow Technique pressed to the minimum power, and a thin line of firelight hit the surface of the stone.
The stone was burned to create a small black spot without any abnormal reaction.
Li Yuan stood up and glanced around.
There are at least seven or eight gray-white stones that can be seen within the field of vision, scattered in different locations on the gravel ground. The spacing is not uniform, but it is roughly arranged in a loose arc.
He continued to move forward along the arc.
The third block, the fourth block, the fifth block.
He squatted down and touched each piece twice, pouring some spiritual energy into it to test it.
They are all ordinary stones.
Old Zhao followed behind, watching Li Yuan squat down and squat down without making a sound, but there was a little more confusion in his eyes.
Block six.
Li Yuan squatted down and put his fingers on it.
Panel popped out.
[Equipable item detected]
[Item Affix level: white]
[Note: Items that do not belong to you, cannot be equipped, and detailed information cannot be viewed]
Li Yuan's movements stopped.
His fingers pressed against the surface of the stone without moving.
There was silence for two breaths.
This stone looks no different from the previous ones. The same gray-white color, the same roundness and smoothness, the same size and weight.
But Panel responded.
Items that do not belong to you cannot be equipped.
He used his fingers to dig away the soil around the stone, revealing a larger area under the stone.
This is a stone the size of a head, mostly buried in the soil. Li Yuan turned it over and found something on the bottom of the stone.
It's not a natural texture, it's artificially carved. A few very thin and shallow lines of Spirit Pattern are embedded in the grooves of the stone surface. You can't even see it unless you turn the whole stone over.
The arrangement of Spirit Pattern has been seen by Li Yuan.
Similar patterns were engraved on the He Family Herb Garden and Array's Array Eye Stone tables before. When Formation Master Zhou took him into the Yuanheng Mountains to check Array, there were also similar patterns on those small array Array Eyes.
Array Eye.
Li Yuan dug out the whole stone from the soil and placed it in the palm of his hand.
As soon as you realize it, try to equip it.
[Note: Items that do not belong to you and cannot be equipped]
Still not working. There is something for the owner.
Li Yuan held the stone in his hand, raised his head and looked around.
These gray-white stones scattered at the bottom of the valley are not placed randomly. They are arranged in an arc shape, and although the spacing is uneven, they form a certain layout overall. The one with Spirit Pattern is one of them, and the other unresponsive ones may be auxiliary nodes, or they may just be used as cover.
The weak aura fluctuations in this Valley are most likely caused by the Array's operation.
Old Zhao also came over, squatted beside and glanced at the stone in Li Yuan's hand, and his eyes fell on the few Spirit Pattern lines on the bottom.
"Array Eye?"
Li Yuan nodded.
Without further explanation, he placed the stone on the ground again, raised his right hand, and released a Fire Arrow Technique towards the surface of the stone.
It's not Fire Arrow at full strength, it only uses about 10% of its spiritual power.
sneer.
The line of fire hit the surface of the stone, throwing up a small spark. The stone remained motionless, and there was no change on the surface.
But Spirit Detection Disk in Li Yuan's hand lit up.
The fluctuations spread out in a circle from the position under Li Yuan's feet. After the ripples spread out, they quickly returned to calm, but the amplitude was a little larger than before.
There is a reaction.
Li Yuan shot Fire Arrow again, this time 30% of the spiritual power was obtained.
sneer.
The line of fire hit the stone again, but nothing was left.
The fluctuations on Spirit Detection Disk have gone around again.
It's more obvious than the first time.
The weak breath mist at the bottom of the valley is no longer evenly distributed, but a circle of slightly lower density holes appears starting from where Li Yuan is, as if the mist has been stirred up into a small piece.
Array is damaged.
Li Yuan didn't stop.
The third shot Fire Arrow, the fourth shot.
The spiritual power of each shot is very low, not to destroy it all at once, but to continuously exert pressure on Array Eye.
Scorch marks slowly appeared on the surface of the stone, and the very shallow Spirit Pattern at the bottom began to darken. The fluctuations on the Spirit Detection Disk became larger and larger each time, and the holes in the layer of aura mist at the bottom of the valley continued to expand.
The fifth shot.
Spirit Pattern on the bottom of the stone flashed for a moment, then dimmed.
The luster on the surface of the entire stone has disappeared, and the scorch marks have completely faded.
At the same time, the fluctuations on Spirit Detection Disk suddenly became larger, and violent ripples surged out in all directions from the position of the stone. After the ripples spread out, the diffuse aura mist at the bottom of the valley began to dissipate rapidly from this direction, like a thin layer of ice breaking from the crack.
Li Yuan stared at Spirit Detection Disk.
Volatility continues to subside.
The breath mist began to shrink from this side to both ends, and the shrinking speed became faster and faster.
After about ten breaths, the aura mist on this side completely dissipated.
The weak Spiritual Qi fluctuations on the entire right half of Valley have all disappeared and are completely clean.
The Array is broken. At least this side of the Array is no longer functioning.
Li Yuan looked down at the piece of Array Eye Stone at hand.
Reach out and pick it up.
Panel popped out.
[Equipable item detected: Manifestation Stone (complete)]
[Affix preview: Aura Amplification (white)--can actively increase the intensity of its own breath, with a maximum increase of 50%]
[Preview of permanent conditions: Possess Spiritual Pressure(0/1)]
[The current Equipment Slot is full (5/5), do you want to replace the current equipment?]
White Trait. Aura Amplification.
The effect is exactly the opposite of that of Aura Concealment. Masking is to suppress the aura, and amplification is to amplify the aura. The maximum is 50%, which means that the cultivation level of Qi Refining Seventh Layer can show an aura intensity close to that of Ninth Layer of Qi Refinement.
The permanent condition is to own Spiritual Pressure.
Spiritual Pressure.
Generally speaking, Spiritual Pressure is something that Foundation Establishment Realm monks only have. After Foundation Establishment, the spiritual power changes qualitatively, the aura changes from weak to strong, and can produce a substantial sense of oppression on the surroundings. This is Spiritual Pressure.
Qi Refining Stage monks usually do not have Spiritual Pressure.
But it's not completely impossible.
After Origin Condensation Art compresses the spiritual power to the limit, the density of the spiritual power is far higher than that of the same level, and Spiritual Pressure can also be produced.
The condition says that one has Spiritual Pressure, but it does not say that it must be Spiritual Pressure that belongs to the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Old Zhao kept squatting aside and watching without making a sound.
Just now, Li Yuan continuously released Fire Arrow to attack the stone, and the fluctuations on Spirit Detection Disk changed drastically. These movements were not small.
Sure enough, not long after, the sound of rapid footsteps was heard from the direction of Taniguchi.
Three figures emerged from the bushes.
Manager Wang ran at the front, Law Artifact was already in his hand, with a serious expression on his face. Behind him were Cultivator Zhou and the young exploring monk, one on the left and one on the right. They had obviously just come from the mountain wall on the left.
"What's going on?" Manager Wang shouted in a low voice, his eyes swept over Li Yuan and Old Zhao, and then looked at the gray and white stones scattered on the ground.
"Array." Li Yuan handed over Spirit Detection Disk. "There is Array Eye in these stones, and the fluctuation of the breath at the bottom of the valley is Array running."
Manager Wang took Spirit Detection Disk and took a look. The fluctuations on the right half of the disk had completely disappeared, while there was still a faint residue on the left half.
He raised his eyes from Spirit Detection Disk and scanned the gray-white stones at the bottom of the valley, and his expression suddenly changed.
"Let's go."
One word, no explanation.
He turned around and ran towards the mouth of the valley.
This was no ordinary run. Spiritual energy poured into his feet, and his body flew almost close to the ground on the gravel ground.
"Return to Herb Garden!"
Manager Wang's voice came from the front and had already traveled more than ten feet.
Old Zhao reacted very quickly, stepped forward, and followed. Cultivator Zhou and the young exploring monk also turned around and ran away at the same moment without any hesitation.
Li Yuan's feet flashed with fire, and Fire Escape Technique urged them to move, following closely behind a few people.
Five people were speeding through the forest at night.
He had walked for more than half an hour when he came here, and when he came back he ran as fast as he could, three or four times faster than when he came here. He jumped across the ravines between the low hills, and the bushes flashed past him.
Manager Wang ran at the front without slowing down at all.
After running for a while, he shouted without looking back.
"Array is placed there to cover up the aura. The fluctuations in this valley are not natural, but artificially created false signals to make us think someone is stationed here."
His voice was broken by the wind.
"Lead us out and Herb Garden will be empty."
Cultivator Zhou gritted his teeth and continued.
"Feng the Second and Lian Alchemist can't hold it together."
No one spoke anymore.
The five people ran away.
The mountain forest passed before my eyes, and the moonlight flickered above my head. The gravel and dead leaves under my feet were trampled, and the shielding effect of Breath-Concealing Talisman was no longer taken into consideration when I was running at full speed.
The tree line in front gradually thinned out, and the outline of the mountain col where Herb Garden was located was revealed in the night.
The cyan light curtain of Array is still there.
But the brightness of the light curtain was much darker than when they set off.
