Chapter 75: Five Elements Formation

But with all this fog, how could one know what kind of formation this was? Everyone looked at each other, all at a loss.

Compared to everyone who was at a loss, Lian Qiao seemed quite relaxed and at ease. Looking at everyone who was at a loss, she smiled.

"No wonder. Most of the formations mentioned in cultivation are mysterious formations, weapon formations, and talisman formations. In addition to practicing these formations, demon hunters also practice another type, which is the dust formation." Lian Qiao said as he walked towards the big rock where Banxia had just sat.

"Dust Array? What is that?" Banxia wondered, feeling it was very interesting.

“The three types of formations I just mentioned are only the most common ones nowadays. In fact, the ancient art of Bu Dou Tian Gang is also a kind of formation. Even the current talisman technique, although derived from ancient totems, is actually a manifestation of formation. For us demon hunters, it is a small formation.” Yin Qiao said proudly with his arms folded across his chest.

"But what does this have to do with it?" Zhao Wuyang was confused.

"What I mean is that the formation is mysterious and changeable, so it can be used in many ways. Let's take the present as an example," Lian Qiao said, patting the stone, "Now we are in a situation where there are stones and trees, light and fog, but there is only one thing missing."

One thing is missing? What does that mean? Everyone looked confused. Lian Qiao did not keep them in suspense and explained directly:

"Stone represents earth, tree represents wood, light represents fire, fog represents water. There are four of the five elements, but gold is missing. I think this is the Five Elements Dust Array. This dust array is different from other arrays. The array layout method is to use common objects around as metaphors. The existence of objects is enough to represent the phase. Now that the five elements are missing gold, I think as long as we find the right place to fill in this phase, we can break it."

Liu Xia frowned and asked, "Then where is this place?"

"This..." Lian Qiao's proud expression had not yet disappeared, but when asked about this, she immediately lost her expression, "I only heard these from my elders at home, but I never knew how to set up the formation..."

"So, we can't escape from here unless this formation is broken?" Long Qi suddenly asked.

Lian Qiao nodded when she heard this: "I think that should be the case."

Seeing her like this, Long Qi quietly approached Xin Yi and whispered, "You have the highest level of cultivation, and you are from the same family of demon hunters, so I think you should understand this formation, right?"

But Xinyi shook her head: "Most demon-killing families have their own skills, just like your Long family was famous for swords, and the Qiao family was better than other families in divination and demon-killing. The Lu family is good at concealed assassination. Although they have heard of battle formations, they only know the basics."

This was the first time that Long Qi had heard of all this. He glanced at Xin Yi doubtfully: This guy had seriously injured him before, and I thought he was so powerful, but he is still unreliable at the critical moment.

At this time, Banxia suddenly asked Zhao Wuyang: "I remember that when the master of Qingwei Peak was teaching the Five Elements Hand Seals, he mentioned some Five Elements Formations, right?" He could only blame himself for being focused on the talismans at the time and not listening carefully.

Zhao Wuyang thought about it for a while and said, "I did say something about it. It seems that the five elements array is either a five-legged star or a combination of four elements. It will definitely not be these two."

"In that case, why don't we try both methods and find out?" Banxia suggested.

"No need to try them all," Lian Qiao said, "Now that the fog is everywhere, I think the water phase cannot occupy the position in the five-legged star formation. So it seems that the only option is to combine the four phases into one."

"But..." Zhao Wuyang hesitated and said, "If the four phases are combined into one, the earth phase should be the main phase, but judging from the mist, it seems that the water phase is the main phase..."

"Hey~ Don't limit yourself to this, the earth is also made of soil." Lian Qiao said as he stamped his feet.

"If that's really the case, then there are two main ministers..." Banxia asked.

For a moment, everyone was at a loss as to what to do and was in a dilemma.

"Is it possible..." Liu Xia touched the stone beside him that was illuminated by the light and said, "Is it the law of the five elements?" But everyone didn't understand why.

"I remember that when Elder Zhang Yu was teaching, he once said that the five elements are mutually generated and restrained. In that case, why not try this?" As he said this, he drew out the sword in his hand, and after a dance, inserted it into the crevice of the stone.

At first nothing happened, but not long after, the water droplets on the sword actually flew away from the sword and floated up, then slowly gathered and grew larger, and even the surrounding fog gradually thinned.

Then the ground began to shake, and before anyone could be surprised, the beams of light moved and shone on several trees. In an instant, the trees were set on fire, and scorched leaves fell from time to time. However, a wind suddenly blew up and carried the scorched leaves and branches around Liu Xia's sword.

The scorching wind lingered for a long time, and the steel sword on the stone glowed red. After a moment, it turned into molten steel and flowed down the stone. The molten steel seemed endless and seemed to have life. It twisted and meandered, igniting the dead leaves and branches on the ground, and drawing a fire array under the feet of everyone.

When the open fire was extinguished, the flames on the formation were still there. At this time, the few rays of light suddenly shone on the formation, and the surrounding fog gathered in an instant. They kept pouring into the water droplets that had floated from the sword before. The water droplets became bigger and bigger, and when the fog dissipated, they drilled into the ground and disappeared.

Only then did everyone realize that the so-called light was actually shot out from the eyes of a giant turtle. This giant turtle, which everyone thought was dead before, suddenly raised one leg and stomped on the ground. In an instant, the ground outside the formation cracked and the mountains collapsed, and then a large amount of water gushed out, as turbulent as a tide.

Several people were submerged before they could react, and sank to the bottom of the water along with the whirlpool, but the Misty Forest seemed as if nothing had happened and returned to its previous state.

……

Cheng Yu Shuzhu was puzzled and didn't know what went wrong, but since the giant dragon was like this now, it was enough to prove that his previous assumption was correct.

The two men paced back and forth, racking their brains, but they saw Shan Huai exclaiming at the smoothness of the giant dragon's mane and praising the beauty of the giant dragon's scales, without seeming to feel any burden at all.

Could it be related to Shan Huai? Cheng Yu looked at Shu Zhu, whose eyes were also full of questions. Shan Huai was usually carefree, but he was unusually fierce. However, it was the first time he had seen him act like a child like this.

Fearing that the giant dragon might be moody, the two men carefully walked behind Shan Huai. Cheng Yu pulled him back and whispered in his ear, "Have you figured out what's going on here? Why don't you seem a bit nervous?"

Shan Huai looked innocent: "You guys always say I never bring my brain with me when I go out, now that I have you two, what else do I have to think about? The brain is too heavy to carry around, so I'll leave it in the bamboo garden for today's martial arts performance."

This sentence left the two of them speechless.

"Now is the critical moment. We have been delayed here for a long time. How can you break through this martial arts exercise when you are so indifferent to it?" Shu Zhu heard it and hurriedly came forward and said.

But even so, Shan Huai still didn't know what to do. Looking at the giant dragon in front of him, he immediately had a plan in his mind. Why not...

He walked past the two of them and came to the giant dragon, touched it and said, "This is the situation. Do you know how to solve it?"

Seeing him like this, Cheng Yu Shuzhu felt that he was really missing something. This place was originally an illusion, and this giant dragon was naturally an illusion, so how could it know all this?

But what happened was beyond their expectations. The giant dragon stood up and nodded towards Shan Huai. They were both very surprised. Shu Zhu held back the words that were about to come out and almost bit his tongue.

When Shan Huai saw the giant dragon like this, he asked directly: "Then can you lead us to solve the mystery and get out of the illusion?"

The giant dragon did not move after hearing that. After a long time, it nodded. But before the three of them could breathe a sigh of relief, it suddenly flew into the air, wrapped the three of them up in its tail and threw them into the air. Then it opened its mouth wide and swallowed the three of them into its stomach!

The unexpected Shanhetu is finally completed, and I feel like my imagination is not enough...
