The three late-stage Void Refining cultivators, led by Long Xun, did not take it seriously at first after seeing this piece of vampire wood.
Vampire trees are too common in Demon Cloud Continent. Just showing a little bit of pressure will make them retreat obediently.
Long Xun thought so in his heart, so he released some evil thoughts casually.
However, after encountering his evil thoughts, these vampire trees not only did not retreat, but instead waved their sharp branches to meet him.
The three demon cultivators in the late stage of the Void Refinement Realm naturally did not take these small branches seriously and shattered them with ease.
However, the abnormal behavior of these vampire trees made Long Xun feel a little cautious.
"Wait a minute, there seems to be something strange in this forest."
The Crocodile Mouth Female Cultivator nodded in agreement, "There is the scent of the red monkey nearby. He should have entered this forest. The person who killed the princess is most likely hiding in there."
Long Xun frowned and looked carefully at the woods in front of him.
"These blood-sucking trees are not afraid of us. We are just afraid that someone is controlling them. However, blood-sucking trees are extremely difficult to tame. I don't know how that person controls them."
The black-robed demon cultivator who had been silent all this time suddenly said, "Formation."
Long Xun and the crocodile-mouthed female cultivator looked at each other, then looked at the black-robed demon cultivator together, with surprise and suspicion on their faces.
"You mean, this is a formation?"
It's no wonder that the two of them didn't believe it. There were only four or five people in the entire Longxu City who were proficient in formations, and most of the magic practitioners didn't like to bother with this thing.
That is, when one's cultivation reaches the late stage of refining emptiness, they encounter the first major bottleneck in their career as a magic cultivator. Some magic cultivators who have nothing to do begin to study formations.
The black-robed demon cultivator did not answer, but flew into the air on his own, releasing his demonic thoughts that covered the entire vampire forest.
The more he looked, the more serious the face hidden under the black robe became.
This formation was larger and more complicated than he had imagined.
The person who set up the formation had a much better understanding of the art of formation than him.
If the three of them had not been cautious and had not stepped into the forest head-on, they would probably have been trapped in the formation and unable to get out.
The black-robed demon cultivator took a deep breath, returned to the ground, and told the other two about his discovery.
The Crocodile Mouth female cultivator was still a little bit unbelievable, "A cultivator who just broke through the Void Refining Stage can actually set up such an exquisite formation by himself?"
The black-robed demon cultivator nodded solemnly. Before he saw it with his own eyes, he would not believe that this formation was set up by a cultivator who had just broken through to the Nascent Soul stage.
"The red monkey is reckless and may have already chased into the formation. I will ask him what the situation is like inside the formation."
Long Xun realized the difficulty of the situation, took out the stone token used for communication, and injected several evil thoughts into it.
However, after waiting for half an incense stick of time, there was still no reply from the red monkey.
Long Xun looked unhappy, "He didn't reply to the message."
The crocodile-mouthed female cultivator felt a dry throat and had a bad feeling.
Before accepting the mission, she actually didn't take it seriously.
Even if a female cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Stage could cross levels and kill the princess in the early Void Refinement Stage, she would never be a match for the four of them.
However, in just twenty days, that person had broken through to the Void Refinement Stage.
If it were only this, it would be fine, but unfortunately, she was proficient in formations, and the red monkey lost contact after breaking into the formation.
Although the red monkey is reckless, he still has some strength, otherwise he would not be valued by the king and entrusted with important tasks.
She swallowed hard, "Could it be that the red monkey is already dead?"
After these words were spoken, the atmosphere became even more solemn.
Finally, it was the black-robed demon cultivator who broke the silence, "Since the opponent can cross levels to kill enemies, it is not impossible for him to rely on the advantage of the formation to kill the red monkey."
"So what should we do now?"
Long Xun frowned, glanced at the vampire forest not far away, then turned his gaze back to the black-robed demon cultivator.
"Since you recognize this formation, you should have a way to break it, right?"
The black-robed demon cultivator thought about it and walked towards the nearest vampire tree.
The vampire tree sensed the blood, and its branches grew wildly, all stabbing towards the black-robed demon cultivator, but it couldn't even pierce his black robe.
He stretched out his hand, and with a little force he pulled out the vampire tree by its roots, then shattered it into powder with his demonic energy.
His attainments in formations were far inferior to those of the person who set up the formation. If he wanted to break the formation, he could only use the stupid method and destroy these vampire trees first.
The black-robed demon cultivator told his inference to the other two people. After thinking for a moment, Long Xun agreed.
This part of the forest is very sparse, but in such a large forest, there must be at least six or seven hundred vampire trees.
Uprooting all the blood-sucking trees and then shattering them with demonic energy would undoubtedly consume a large amount of demonic energy.
But when he thought of the missing red monkey, he agreed to this method.
Although this method is stupid, it is safe. As long as the forest is destroyed, the criminals will lose the support of the formation and will have nowhere to hide.
After the three of them discussed it, they started to clean up the vampire wood directly.
Xu Chunniang, who was in the formation, saw that they did not enter the formation recklessly, but instead changed their minds and started to pull out the vampire trees in the forest. She guessed that one of the three people was familiar with the formation.
However, the other party's action also made her realize that the cultivator who was well versed in formations was simply unable to break the formation she had set up.
So they could only dismantle the formation bit by bit by destroying the vampire trees.
Looking at the busy figures of the three people, Xu Chunniang smiled unkindly.
Although her formation took advantage of the terrain, it was because time was short and she just went with the flow.
In fact, if she had enough time, she could use the materials at hand to set up a more powerful formation.
The skills of these people in breaking up the formation were enough for her to display.
"It's unlucky for you to meet me."
Xu Chunniang chuckled and without wasting any more time, the materials for the formation flew out from her hands one by one, flying in all directions in an orderly manner.
While she was setting up the formation, the three men were not idle either. They spent two hours razing most of the forest to the ground.
Only a small area in the center is left, with one or two hundred vampire trees.
The female cultivator with crocodile mouth looked around the forest and tried to probe into the evil thoughts, but failed again.
It’s really strange. This forest is sparsely populated and there is no one in sight. Could the murderer who killed the princess really be hiding in here
For the first time in her life, the Crocodile-Mouth Female Cultivator showed some interest in battle formations.
But the king's order is to take the person alive, and I'm afraid it won't be her turn to do such a good thing as soul searching.
Long Xun saw her actions and said calmly.
"There is only a little left. Let's rest for half an hour. After the magic energy is restored, we will break the formation in one go!"
The other two naturally had no objection. To prevent the other party from escaping, the three of them each took a position and surrounded the forest in the middle.
Naturally, their actions did not escape Xu Chunniang's eyes.
The corners of her mouth curled up in pleasure. "It's really hard for you to pull up so many trees. You don't need to do the rest."
