The second line of defense Li Yan has already sensed the strength of the formation from the surface, so its actual power should only be stronger.

The opponent learns from every experience. The Red-Eyed Flame Horned Beast Tribe will definitely respond to the last defeat, and this setting is also reasonable. This is the second line of defense.

Li Yan is now unable to determine whether there is still something else inside the formation, so he decided not to use "Heaven-Stealing Kerchief" as a last resort to break into the formation as much as possible.

Instead, use other more reliable ways to sneak in, so as to avoid possible traps!

Li Yan Although he did not find a suitable method, he was not anxious and continued to stand in the dark jungle and observe. Time passed slowly, but it continued to pass like running water.

When the forest ushered in the first ray of sunshine, and then a large amount of fog rose, no monks came in or out of the big camp in Li Yan Divine Sense all night, except that the entrance to the camp was guarded by another team of monks.

Even Li Yan thought that there might be mid-level monks in other places in the formation using tokens to fly out at will, but they never appeared.

"After such a long period of observation, this is not the front line of the battle, and the possibility of the monks going out at will is not very high..."

Li Yan has been observing for so long. It may be due to the nature of the second line of defense, or it may be a matter of Li Yan's luck. He did not find a suitable opportunity to infiltrate.

At the top of the tree crown, the twigs under Li Yan's feet were rising and falling in the morning mist. As Divine Sense continued to explore, one hand was already rubbing his chin.

After a while, he rubbed his chin with his finger and gave it a light tap!

"There are monks changing defenses at the camp entrance, so this should be..."

Li Yan suddenly focused Divine Sense and swept towards the depths of the forest and a low mountain more than ten miles opposite. There were hidden whistles in both places.

The protective formations set up in these two positions focused on concealment and warning, but they were definitely not as complex and powerful as the military camps. Li Yan suddenly felt that it was still worth a try here.

His Divine Sense just scanned back and forth between these two locations, and then selected the secret whistle in the jungle where he was. With one thought, he slid down the tree like a ghost...

In the jungle, there were several trees very close to each other. In front of Xiao Shu, Li Yan's transparent figure appeared silently. He knew that what he saw was an illusion, and there was a formation shrouding him in front of him.

Li Yan looked around, and soon and quietly walked around to the north side. That direction was facing the second line of defense camp. Compared with the other three directions, this was probably the place that the monks in the secret post were most likely to ignore.

Li Yan Divine Sense sensed the distance of the formation's fluctuation, and the moment he stood still, "Heaven-Stealing Kerchief" appeared in his hands, shrouded by his mana, and directly covered somewhere in the void...

This is a forest clearing of about twenty feet. The big trees and vines on the ground have long been cleared away.

There are four monks sitting cross-legged in the middle. The four of them face the four directions and sit with their necks on their backs, forming a circle.

The four of them are all monks of the Spirit Transformation Realm, and they are all monks of the Red-eyed Flame-horned Beast Clan. Their cultivation as peripheral secret sentries has demonstrated the heritage of the Red-eyed Flame-horned Beast Clan.

They mainly rely on this formation to conceal their aura. This formation's concealment ability is very powerful and it is already the best among small formations in the army.

The fact that such a formation can be deployed around the perimeter of the second line of defense is enough to show that the Red-Eyed Flame Horned Beast Clan attaches great importance to it.

It is not appropriate to set up a stronger formation here. That is a long-term use of the formation. The war is non-stop and must be in operation every day.

Coupled with the fact that the entire army has hundreds of formations, large and small, the consumption speed of various spiritual stones is absolutely astonishing.

Even if you are a member of the Red-Eyed Flame-Horned Beast Clan and have a profound background, consuming it all the time like this will still feel painful.

Especially the strongest military camp formations everywhere are basically spirit-devouring giant beasts, as if they are like bottomless pits, with spirit stones rolling down and disappearing...

After the last sneak attack by Black Devil Race, the Red-Eyed Flame Horned Beast Clan was unable to find out the cause and was unable to make a targeted eradication plan, so they could only use strengthened formations.

This makes the consumption of the current main formations several times that of the past. There are too many various defenses added to them. The formations they can now use can be said to be used to the extreme.

The four monks in the formation in the woods are mainly responsible for forming a Divine Sense cross network with the monks in the short mountain opposite to defend the nearby peripheral defense line.

Theirs here is not the first line of defense on the periphery, but a secret backup alert. However, there is a strong man Divine Sense in the military camp who occasionally explores the situation further away.

The four people in the formation will take turns to release Divine Sense, ensuring that within a certain period of time, they will form an irregular Divine Sense cross network with the monks in the short mountain opposite to see if any missed scouts come over.

At this time, the four people were sitting with their backs to each other, and a young man was releasing Divine Sense to look outside. He was looking very carefully, even though he had done this too many times.

But every time he did it, he still carried out his tasks meticulously and conscientiously. The Red-Eyed Flamehorn Clan's military discipline was very strict. If something happened during his inspection, he would have to shed his skin even if he died.

Moreover, as long as a monk makes a mistake once, if he wants to recover the training resources that were deprived later, he will need to accumulate multiple military merits to make up for it.

Therefore, when each of them performs their tasks, they are fully committed to their duties and do not dare to be careless in the slightest, for fear that their own path to immortality will be ruined.

The last time the young monks investigated was in front of half a cup of tea. Their exploration could not follow any rules. Everything had to be done based on experience, and the enemy could not be allowed to figure out the rules.

The experience of a true secret sentry can be reflected in the Divine Sense patrol with appropriate timing and sparseness.

As long as one person on both sides wants to investigate based on experience, the person on the other side who has activated the token ban will immediately sense it and will immediately cooperate.

The young monk had just explored the main area outside, and he was already recovering Divine Sense. However, when recovering Divine Sense, the young monk still swept Divine Sense, and finally swept it in another direction.

That is the direction of the rear camp. It is difficult for any problems to occur there. It means that the enemy has passed here. Even the strong men in the camp on their own side cannot detect anything unusual at such a close distance.

But the four people here are very conscientious and will not miss any place every time they investigate the movement outside. It will only distinguish light and key areas, which require more careful exploration.

When the young monk passed by Divine Sense, everything was normal, but the moment Divine Sense was withdrawn, his heart tightened for no reason.

The young monk couldn't help but open his eyes at the next moment, and turned his head in one direction with surprise. In his talent Divine Ability, he had earth laws that the other three here did not have, and he could borrow stronger earth power.

He Divine Sense didn't detect any problems just now, but the earth spiritual power in his body suddenly felt a bit turbulent and erratic, which made the young monk couldn't help but look in the direction of the earth spiritual power.

The moment he looked over, the young monk suddenly felt the hairs all over his body stand up!

When he Divine Sense was sweeping towards the direction of the camp just now, he found no problematic formation, but at this moment, a small black circle appeared in his eyes.

The young monk was agitated, and his whole body instinctively wanted to stand up quickly. He was quite experienced, even if he didn't know what was going on?

His Divine Sense still didn't notice the situation, and his instinct still reacted, or in other words, subconsciously, he trusted his intuition very much.

But before he subconsciously stood up and before the warning sound appeared, the young monk felt that everything in front of him was as usual, but his breathing had suddenly stopped.

He wanted to scream in shock at the same time, but was unable to make any more sounds, including the mana he wanted to pour out of his body, which collapsed in his body in an instant!

The young monk was even more horrified, but that's where it all ended. All his consciousness stopped thinking and fell into endless darkness...

Li Yan, whose body was transparent, instantly curled his fingers and flicked them as fast as lightning, and instantly entered the bodies of the four people who were sitting cross-legged in meditation.

The bodies of the four people suddenly tilted, and the next moment they staggered around and fell to the ground. Only then did the figure of Li Yan quickly solidify from the transparent state, and the raised hands were lowered.

"What a bad luck! Someone happened to be looking in this direction!"

Li Yan looked at the position of the young monk facing him. At this time, the other person had fallen on his back and fell to the ground. His eyes, which had just been opened, were closed again.

Divine Sense cannot see the small hole formed by "Heaven-Stealing Kerchief" breaking the formation, but one can detect clues when it breaks through with eyesight.

Li Yan chose a position where he thought he would not be easily seen. Unexpectedly, the moment he broke through the formation, as soon as his Divine Sense entered, he saw a pair of eyes looking over him.

Li Yan felt a shock in his heart, and his reaction was extremely fast. He entered the formation in an instant and had already taken action quickly. He didn't even see clearly what the opponent's cultivation level was?

However, in his previous judgment, the monks who can be sent to patrol the outer secret posts are divided according to the strength of the second line of defense monks, which are generally guarded by Nascent Soul or Spirit Transformation monks.

But there may be accidents, but in the emergency situation just now, Li Yan had to take action immediately no matter what.

He used all his strength as soon as he took action, and he used the soul technique that he had been preparing for a long time. No matter what the cultivation level of the monks inside was? Li Yan believes that even if he is a monk Body Integration Realm, the soul technique he suddenly used can have some effect.

And what he wants is a buffer, as long as the opponent's consciousness is briefly blurred, and if the opponent does not fall to the ground, the poison will pour down from behind him...
