"Is the Blazing Yang Grand Formation activated?" Ziyue asked hurriedly.
"Yes," Shen Qi replied hastily, feeling a wave of fear wash over him.
Previously, they had questioned whether the other party was being overly cautious and wasting resources, but now they were secretly relieved that the great formation had been activated. Otherwise, with the fog sweeping in, all the ships would have lost contact, and without the protection of the great formation, they would have been breached in an instant!
Sure enough, the next instant, various miserable roars and crashes came from outside the main ship!
However, the Blazing Yang Grand Formation is the most powerful formation developed by the Jiangnan Dragon Palace Academy. The flames it contains also carry the strange fire that Chen Qing drew from a certain demon statue. Its power is unparalleled. A hundred-foot-long wave will be vaporized instantly, and several dragons will be burned to ashes as soon as they get close. Since the turmoil of the demons in the Northern Lands, Jiangnan has used this formation to defend the North Sea. Those giant pythons that can invade from underground have never been able to get close to the inside of the formation.
This formation is impenetrable from any angle, as has been verified multiple times.
But at this moment, Shen Qi felt uneasy inside this well-tested magic array.
Because there were too many pitiful screams outside!
The dense, agonizing screams were so close he could hear them with his own blood running down his spine, but the people on the other side seemed completely unconcerned, continuing to charge forward wave after wave, as if trying to extinguish the flames outside with their lives.
Although his cultivation level hadn't improved much, his expertise in array formations was no less than that of the academy's top disciples. He also knew that the Blazing Yang Grand Formation wouldn't weaken because of killing spirits. At this moment, the white crystals on the ship were still plentiful. Even if the enemy brought over a thousand dragons and killed them all, they still couldn't outlast them, right?
If resources could be exhausted by risking one's life, would those in positions of power need to go through the trouble of refining white crystals?
In chaotic times, life is the least valuable thing.
But they're still doing it; what's the point?
Ziyue slowly approached the bow of the ship. At this time, the outside was shrouded in thick fog, and it was impossible to see anything outside. The only thing that could be judged from the shrill screams was that the water creatures were launching a fierce attack. The soldiers inside, who were ready for battle at any time, got goosebumps from the screams.
They are not afraid of fighting, but their fearless and relentless advance is quite frightening!
"There's a problem," Ziyue, getting closer.
Since it couldn't be seen from the outside, and this display was deliberately used to attract their attention, Ziyue believed that this was definitely not a meaningless suicide mission. Even if the South Sea Clan had enough aquatic creatures that had been revived this time, they couldn't withstand such attrition. There must be another purpose behind it.
"They're after me!" Ziyue quickly came to this conclusion.
"What?" Shen Qi was taken aback and looked at Ziyue.
" The South Sea aquatic creatures have only recently revived. Although the South Sea family is cooperating with South Sea Dragon King South Sea Dragon King, they are definitely on guard against them. They will likely be very cautious about the number of revived creatures. Chen Baifeng is a cautious person and won't be careless about such an important matter. Moreover, Blood Crystal Stone are not enough. This time, the South Sea's strong attack on South Sea City will inevitably result in casualties. No matter how powerful the forces behind them are, they can't conjure up soldiers out of thin air. Some things still have to be done according to the rules."
"What's this?" Shen Qi looked outside, his brows furrowed.
"The purpose of this fog is to isolate us from other ships. There are fifteen ships in total this time. I was careless; I didn't expect this kind of fog-based isolation tactic."
In fact, this kind of fog formation appears quite often in the Dragon Palace dungeon, but there are very few countermeasures against it in human military strategy. The reason is very simple: humans rarely fight naval battles, and they are not from a military background. It is already a stretch for them to be familiar with and apply the human battles of the past.
Looking back now, it was a real disadvantage not to bring along veteran military figures like Tian Heng and Xu Hu.
By dividing the other ships, they can concentrate a large number of troops to deal with themselves. But even so, it doesn't make sense to try to break the Blazing Yang Grand Formation in this way. What exactly is the enemy planning?
As she was thinking, she keenly noticed that the surroundings seemed to have gotten colder.
Logically, once the Blazing Yang Grand Formation is activated, even if the flame power is concentrated on the array, it should still raise the internal temperature and activate the fire element inside the ship. However, Ziyue clearly felt that the fire element inside the ship seemed to have disappeared.
The coldness around me was a familiar, chilling cold, the kind that seeps into your bones. Where have I seen this kind of cold before?
She couldn't remember for a moment.
It felt like she had experienced it herself, and for a long time, but the deeper she thought about it, the more she felt like she was about to fall asleep, which startled her awake!
She immediately realized she couldn't dwell on it. Deep meditation and sleep had already greatly affected her, and if she thought about it too much, her body might revert to that state, leaving her completely defenseless.
She's now absolutely certain that the other party is after her!
Her memories were inexplicably becoming fragmented; the other party had calculated that she would enter and explore, thus weakening her energy. The familiarity of her surroundings made her very certain that she had met the other party a long time ago!
" Lord Ziyue?" Shen Qi also sensed that something was wrong around him. He was about to turn around and discuss it with Ziyue when his heart suddenly sank.
Who is this?
The woman who had been standing in the same spot as Ziyue was now standing there, her entire body covered in prayer, her hair snow-white. She exuded an icy aura and appeared unremarkable at first glance, but a closer look gave one a chilling feeling.
It was as if something terrible was about to be born.
"My lord?"
The clothes on her body and the faint familiar scent made Shen Qi feel that this was Ziyue, but the terrifying aura also made him feel as if something had taken over Ziyue entirely.
Ziyue looked up, her eyes still the same purple as before, but this time they were a dark, eerie purple. Just one glance made Shen Qi feel as if the blood in his body was about to freeze.
" Shen Qi, escape!" Ziyue only had time to utter this one sentence.
Without hesitation, Shen Qi used the spell to rush backward, while Ziyue remained motionless, but a strange smile appeared on her lips.
After waiting so long, it's finally here.
The cold voice came from Ziyue's mouth again. The voice was exactly the same as Ziyue's, but the feeling it gave was completely different. Shen Qi, who had been far away, had clearly hidden at the stern of the boat in an instant, but it felt as if the distance between them had not increased at all, because the voice was as if it were right next to his ear.
What exactly happened?
No, I can't die here. There are still students from the academy and tens of thousands of the Fighter Army on the ship. I still have a chance. I still have a chance.
The moment that thought crossed his mind, he froze on the spot.
Before him stood a familiar yet terrifying face, deathly pale, its eerie smile more horrifying than anything he had ever seen before!
What kind of aura is that?
Even through the thick fog, Liu Yu, watching from afar, could feel the terrifying chill. Liu Yu had seen many ruins in his life, but this bone-chilling coldness was something he had never experienced before, and he felt an urge to immediately activate his Flying Star and escape.
"You've never encountered her?" The King of Qin laughed immediately. "Didn't you spend so much time with her? How come you've never seen her even once?"
