The old woman surnamed He arranged eighteen Yuanying to conduct a carpet search. She thought that they should be able to find out which nest of rats there was.
After she finished searching the last two suspected rooms, the remaining rooms were handed over to the last group to check and search one by one.
If she had no gains, she would focus on the area on the deck where the "Blood Lamp Sect" team was standing. Her speculation was actually very reasonable.
At this moment, Li Yan had taken advantage of the most intense roars and slid to the bow of the boat over a distance of several hundred feet. He then quickly stood in the corner, stabilizing his breath to the best state.
With his current cultivation level of the late Nascent Soul stage, when he performed the "Stealth at Night" technique, he almost merged perfectly with the surrounding space, and his entire body had turned into the same piece of nothingness.
Li Yan believed that even if he performed "Phoenix Soaring to the Sky" in this state, it would be difficult for a Divine Transformation cultivator to detect it.
Ever since he felt the transformation of Yin and Yang forces in the "Fuxi Plate", he seemed to be able to gradually see the trajectory of each kind of living spiritual energy from birth to death through his visualization of the five elements in the external space.
Unfortunately, even after the flying boat entered the area of the "Big Fruitless" tree, he was unable to escape with the help of the "Stealth at Night".
As the flying boat shrank, the laws it drove were different, and he could no longer perfectly integrate with the surrounding aura. When he was squeezed out of the giant boat, people still discovered abnormal fluctuations and were able to lock onto him.
"Sneaking and Hiding at Night" is originally a kind of stealth technique. Its greatest function is to borrow the power of the five elements and blend into the surrounding environment, thus bringing about a concealed effect.
What needs to be borrowed is the surrounding environment, which is the biggest flaw of this technique. However, this flaw will not cause problems in more than 80% of actual battles against the enemy, because those are real environments, not inside the magic weapon.
Just after Li Yan reached the bow of the boat, his figure merged with the horizontal guardrails at the edge of the flying boat. To outsiders, it still looked like there were only guardrails there.
Li Yan stabilized his condition and then quietly sneaked towards the stairs...
After a few breaths, Li Yan slowly retreated back to the bow deck.
"After the barrier leading to the second floor was opened, it was never completely closed again..."
The reason why it is not completely closed is that the white fog has disappeared and you can see the light all the way up the stairs to the second floor.
But perhaps they didn't want the spiritual sense of the monks downstairs to be able to detect the situation above, so there is still a ban here to block the spiritual sense, and they can only observe with their eyes.
With Li Yan's spiritual power, after a brief contact, he felt that he should be able to break the ban and enter to investigate. After thinking about it, he didn't want to do that for fear of alerting the enemy.
I don't know if the Divine Transformation cultivator above was healing his wounds or he felt that the people below were no longer able to cause any trouble. Apart from those two times of transmitting messages, there was no further movement.
"We definitely can't go up now. We need to take advantage of their separation and see if we can defeat them one by one..."
Li Yan has been thinking about a plan to save his life. He doesn't want to hide in the "Earth Spot" and fall into the "Bone-Dissolving Wind". If he does that, everything after that will be left to the unknown, and he doesn't know when he will be able to come out again.
The first step he had to confirm was whether the restriction leading to the second floor was opened.
For Li Yan, closing and opening have both advantages and disadvantages, but he must understand the current situation in order to take precautions and take advantage of it.
If the restriction is on, if he succeeds below, he can go up quietly without breaking the restriction.
But at the same time, there are fewer restrictions here, so it is easier for the other party to explore the next level.
Just as Li Yan was thinking, two teams of twelve people were already on the deck, lined up in a row, starting from the stern of the boat where the battle had just ended, and exploring towards him little by little.
These Nascent Soul cultivators used their magical powers, magic weapons, talismans, and spells. Although lights of various colors flashed on every inch of the deck again, there were no more explosions, only some low "buzzing" sounds.
It was like there were countless hornets swarming and pressing forward.
The other team of six people, together with the old woman surnamed He, were carefully checking each room, also carefully exploring and clearing out the garbage one by one...
In the desert, a huge boat was traveling through it. Strong winds blew yellow sand all over the sky, causing the surface of the boat to flash with blue light.
The giant boat was like a lonely traveler, moving forward fearlessly and flying into the depths of the desert with a roar.
In a flash, a little blue light was left in the flying yellow sand, and in the last flash, it disappeared in the misty wind and sand...
On the first floor of the flying boat, the old woman surnamed He once again searched the room that she had thought was the most suspicious. However, this time, she walked into the room herself. Her wrinkled face looked even colder with a pair of gloomy eyes.
Just now, the female cultivator named Yuan sent her a message, asking her if the area below had been cleaned up. The old woman named He had no choice but to say that there were still three people hiding.
These words made her blush. Sure enough, the female cultivator named Yuan on the other side fell into a brief silence. After a while, she transmitted her voice, which remained calm.
She was trying her best to control the flight of the giant boat, and estimated that after seven hours, she would be able to enter the "Big Fruitless" tree area.
Therefore, let the old woman surnamed He finish the cleaning below quickly, and then go up to help her control the flying boat.
Otherwise, under such control, her spiritual power alone might not be able to last for too long, and she would need someone to replace and restore her.
Although the old woman surnamed He did not hear the other party's dissatisfaction, she seemed to have seen a flash of ridicule on the face of the female cultivator surnamed Yuan from the other party's silence for a period of time.
Moreover, through the voice transmission between the other party and herself, she could also tell that the female cultivator named Yuan was also wary of her, so she did not let the "Bi Luo Magic Vine" help control the flying boat, so that it could always maintain its peak combat power.
But if she consumed too much energy, wouldn't the other party attack her? She didn't have a fifth-level magic plant to protect her.
Therefore, the old woman surnamed He simply replied that she would clear all obstacles as soon as possible, and explained that the other party must be carrying a treasure to cover it up.
In her heart, she was thinking that even if she found these three people, her killing process would be delayed a little bit.
When he went up to control the flying boat again, when his own power was only 60% consumed, he asked the other party to replace him...
The old woman surnamed He stood at the door of the room, her eyes scanning every corner of the room bit by bit.
After a while, she started from the door and measured at an extremely slow pace, while her spiritual consciousness moved continuously with her footsteps.
While she was deliberately delaying time, she was also very angry. The three rooms she had suspected before also yielded nothing.
The concealing magic weapon or formation used by the other party was of a very high level, and even she couldn't find it easily.
The old woman surnamed He certainly would not think that the other party was proficient in any secret art of concealment. There were secret arts in the Nascent Soul Realm that were comparable to the Spirit Transformation Realm, but the amount of mana consumed every moment by this kind of art that was performed across levels was quite astonishing.
I have been here for quite some time and have been investigating all the time. If the other party wants to hide the truth from me, they must use their skills to the extreme, and they will not be able to hold on for too long.
As long as the opponent's magic power is exhausted or when it is replenishing magic power, there will be fluctuations in his breath. If there are three people missing, I will definitely find something unusual.
She is a cultivator in the middle stage of the Spiritual Transformation Stage, and her spiritual awareness is so strong that it is simply beyond the imagination of a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator.
At this moment, in this room, Dong Lin Tingyue was standing on the bed, close to the wall, watching the old woman surnamed He approaching step by step.
Although she knew that the magic weapon's isolation meant that even if the other person stood in front of her, he would not be able to see her, she still held her breath nervously.
As the old woman surnamed He approached step by step, the slight sound of her footsteps seemed to roar in her mind...
The same was true for Jia Fugui. He was hanging in the air on a window frame like a gecko. Outside the window on this side, there was a sky full of yellow sand, rolling like a dragon, and everything was hazy yellow.
His fat body, with his limbs pressed against the wall, made him look both funny and ridiculous.
But at this moment, Dong Lin Tingyue didn't care about the other party at all. In her eyes, there was only the terrifying old woman who was approaching.
If she could see the fat face facing the window clearly, she would see that Jia Fugui also had a sad face. He never expected that the first person to be targeted would be himself, not Li Yan who had gone out.
In his heart, he had been scolding Li Yan for being shameless. His despicable intentions were now obvious. Li Yan must have hidden some valuables, but he was afraid that if he took the two of them with him and ran away, his whereabouts would be exposed.
Therefore, he had used various reasons to paralyze the two of them before, but as soon as they left here, he immediately disappeared. The old woman named He in front of him had already entered the room, and the other party no longer had any sign of negotiation.
What kind of sound transmission talisman is that? It’s all bullshit!
"It's a pity that I let you in here to avoid disaster, but in the end you ran away. You... you are really a nobody. You were so excited before, making me think that you would try to fight to the death. Ugh!"
Jia Fugui was in his heart, constantly cursing Li Yan for a bad death.
However, it cannot be entirely blamed on him for easily trusting Li Yan. Li Yan and Dong Lin Tingyue have been acting very familiar with each other during this period of time.
When the situation was dangerous before, Li Yan was able to bring Dong Lin Tingyue out together, and their actions were somewhat ambiguous. Although Dong Lin Tingyue was embarrassed and annoyed, he did not get angry.
But in the end, Li Yan didn't want that woman anymore.
"When disaster strikes, everyone runs away!"
Although he hated Li Yan, he also knew that even if he wanted to drag him down with him, it would be impossible because he didn't even know where the damn Li Yan was.
Unlike the other party, he knows where he is.
The old woman surnamed He walked slowly, looking left and right from time to time. The whole room seemed to be frozen. Only the old woman surnamed He's cold eyes kept scanning...
After a dozen breaths, the scene that Jia Fugui and Dong Lin Tingyue least wanted to see finally happened!
The old woman surnamed He, who had already walked to the middle of the house, suddenly stopped. She seemed to sense that her consciousness and body seemed to be a little alienated at this moment.
To be precise, it felt like we were not in the same space anymore, but this sensation was almost negligible.
Then she took another step back, sensed it carefully, and took another step forward.
Suddenly, a cruel smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"Humph, it really is a trap array within a large array!"
She snorted in her heart. She had only broken through a few layers of formation restrictions outside this place before, and now she discovered that there were still restrictions inside.
However, the restrictions inside were too sophisticated, and I couldn't figure out the problem with my own spiritual sense until I came here in person.
As she explored bit by bit, she found that there was a barely detectable sense of dislocation between her body and her consciousness, which allowed her to discover a clue.
The old woman surnamed He suddenly raised a skinny hand, with her five fingers like hooks, and grabbed fiercely at the empty space above her head.
As her five fingers moved across, five faint white lights suddenly appeared in the void above her head, and those white lights flashed and disappeared.
Immediately, the whole room returned to normal.
Dong Lin Tingyue was standing in the corner of the bed within the formation restriction and saw the old woman surnamed He approaching step by step. She closed her eyes from time to time or tilted her head slightly, as if listening.
Every time the old woman moved forward, it seemed as if she was stepping on her heart. She felt her heart was beating so violently that it was about to burst out of her body, and sweat kept dripping down her forehead.
A pair of jade palms pressed against the wall, as if she wanted to squeeze herself into the wall, but it was obvious that she couldn't do it in this flying boat that was equipped with protective restrictions.
"He... he's really gone!"
At this moment, Dong Lin Tingyue unconsciously thought of the other person in the room, and his mind was filled with panic.
Although she thought of this possibility, she couldn't feel too much hatred towards Li Yan.
He had only had one transaction with the other party, and Li Yan had saved him once before, so he was already considered to be kind and righteous.
Speculating that Li Yan left alone, Dong Lin Tingyue felt a bitterness in his heart, and more fear grew and spread.
She even hoped that Li Yan would suddenly appear at the door, even if he was just a Nascent Soul cultivator like herself...
Just when her mind was full of random thoughts, at a certain moment, she saw the old woman surnamed He's body slowly approaching, and she suddenly stopped.
Then, the old woman surnamed He stopped where she was, but her face did not show surprise, but rather confusion.
Dong Lin Tingyue's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously squeezed back with his uneven body leaning against the wall.
Although she still stayed where she was, she seemed to be able to relieve the depression in her heart...
At this moment, the old woman surnamed He took a step back. She closed her eyes, paused for a moment, and then quickly took a step forward.
Then, Dong Lin Tingyue saw the old woman's mouth corner suddenly raised, and one palm swung out like lightning!
The claw reached out to grab the "mysterious tail feather" in the air, but in fact the direction the old woman grabbed was still some distance away from the location of the "mysterious tail feather", and she was only attacking the void near one side of it.
"Oh no, she found out!"
This was Dong Lin Tingyue’s first reaction.
Then, she saw the "mysterious tail feather" floating in the air, which immediately burst out with a dazzling white light and actually blocked the opponent's attack.
At the same time, Dong Lin Tingyue heard a "plop" sound and a scream coming from the side.
She then saw Jia Fugui fall from the wall, holding his head with both hands, groaning in pain on the ground, with blood oozing from his mouth, eyes, nose and ears.
The "mysterious tail feather" in the air also floated away and arrived not far from Jia Fugui.
The old woman's claw just now affected Jia Fugui, who was controlling the magic weapon, and he hurriedly moved away from the body of "Miweiling".
But his movements were still a little slow. Although the attack of a Divine Transformation cultivator did not hit his main body directly, it still caused a strong spreading effect on that area of space.
Although Jia Fugui was not seriously injured by the blow, he was also injured.
In fact, Jia Fugui had a defensive magic weapon on him, but when another magic weapon was hidden, he did not dare to use more magic weapons.
There are conflicting properties between the magic weapons. If you use them improperly, the aura will leak out.
Therefore, to be on the safe side, Jia Fugui chose to allow the "Mysterious Tail Feather" to exert its maximum hidden power.
"Humph, let's see where you guys are going to run this time."
The old woman surnamed He sneered extremely coldly.
She struck out with her palm again, but this time there was no flash of white light, so she hit nothing.
"Oh? It's not a formation, it's a concealed magic weapon!"
The old woman surnamed He found that this time her attack missed, so this was definitely not a formation. The formation could not be moved at will, but the main body of the magic weapon could be moved.
“Hehehe… You’re just a turtle in a jar. I hope you can take the next blow!”
The old woman surnamed He didn't get angry but laughed instead. However, her laughter was full of cruelty and murderous intent!
