The mechanism that Li Yan set up on the platform halfway up the mountain is also a trap used by hunters to capture large monsters. It is more accurate to say that it is a kill rather than a capture.
He arrived two days early, and according to his calculations, he had about a day and a night. However, Advisor Ji was suspicious by nature and considered too many aspects, so he ignored the clues he left behind.
Li Yan left that silk map behind on purpose. From what he could see so far, Advisor Ji really regarded it as something he had not had time to take away when he fled in a hurry.
After he left the city that day and went into the mountains, he began to set up various camouflage traces on the road. His purpose was to disrupt Advisor Ji's sight and buy himself more time.
After arriving here, it took nearly half a day to choose these two ambush locations.
On the platform, he was eyeing the huge rock. Due to years of exposure to wind and sun, the rock had become loose and had a gap with the ground, but because it was too heavy, it was still deeply embedded there.
Li Yan found two stone pillars as thick as a baby's arm from the mountains and took out some simple tools that he had prepared long ago, including the monster beast blue veins.
Of course, before this he was not sure of the terrain here, and did not know what kind of traps to set, so he could only prepare as much as possible according to the map.
It was impossible to buy too large tools, so in order not to attract the attention of Strategist Ji, they were mixed in with the miscellaneous farm tools and bought in batches.
His black robe was too large, and after many secret attempts, he finally determined the limit of what he could hide without being seen by Chen An and Li Yin who were accompanying him.
After arriving here and choosing a good location, Li Yan hollowed out the bottom of the rock on the platform bit by bit, and then slowly moved two stone pillars in to stabilize it, finally forming a temporary balance.
Finally, one end of the monster Qingjin was tied to a main rope extending from two stone pillars.
The next step is to make the veins of this part of the monster tense, hiding most of them in the cracks at the bottom of the rock, with only a little bit exposed outside. At first glance, it looks like a "strong crossbow" ready to be fired.
He also saw this thing by chance in the military camp, and after thinking about it, he used it here.
After that, a rope buckle is extended from the rope, and the other end is tied back to the boulder. When someone takes out the "strong crossbow" from the gap under the boulder, it is like pulling the trigger and taking away the balance of the boulder.
Since the boulder had been hollowed out in advance towards the cliff, it would slide down quickly, driving the rope buckle on the ground, which would instantly tighten. If there was an object in the buckle, it would immediately tighten and pull up, falling under the cliff along with the boulder.
These links are linked together, and if there is any mistake in the calculation, it will fail.
But there are two most difficult places here. First, Li Yan occasionally has to sit on a boulder. At this time, he cannot break the balance of the support below, otherwise he will slide down the cliff with the boulder;
The other thing is when to dump the water bag, and the spilled water can just happen to splash onto the monster's blue veins. All this must be done naturally so that people who come see it will not be suspicious.
When Master Ji saw the water bags on the platform just now, he became suspicious of them. After shaking all the water bags separately, he found that each of them still had half a bag or less than half a bag of water.
After thinking about it, I realized that this was part of Li Yan's plan. Otherwise, who would drink all the water bags? It's better to open a bag and put it at hand, and then take another bag after drinking one.
However, there was one thing that Strategist Ji could not figure out. He thought that Li Yan was unable to be sure when he would arrive, so he did not take action immediately after his arrival and waited for such a long time.
However, he only saw Li Yan spill the water bag once. If Li Yan had done this twice, he might have become suspicious. How did Li Yan manage his time and when did he kick over the water bag
This left him completely puzzled, but he was certain that Li Yan must have been repeatedly trying to trick him by kicking over the water bags.
After hearing what Li Yan said, Strategist Ji stopped talking, stood up and walked towards Li Yan. At this time, he had recovered a lot of spiritual power and was able to perform the soul-absorbing technique. He didn't want to continue talking so as to avoid more trouble.
He walked up to Li Yan, and since he could only move his right hand, he stretched out his right hand, lifted Li Yan up and sat him down half leaning against a tree.
After Li Yan leaned back, he sat cross-legged beside Li Yan and tapped Li Yan's body several times with his right hand. Li Yan suddenly felt his body relax and he regained his freedom.
Just as he was about to move, a big hand grabbed his head. Suddenly, a strong suction force was generated and his body lost strength again in an instant.
Li Yan only felt that the spiritual power in his Dantian Qi Sea was uncontrollably surging out to the top of his head, and he couldn't help but be shocked.
Strategist Ji removed the restrictions on Li Yan, so that he could mobilize the spiritual power in Li Yan's body without any hindrance. He was not afraid that Li Yan would take the opportunity to resist, because as long as he pressed his hand on his top acupoint, Li Yan would lose his strength.
Li Yan was extremely anxious, knowing that this was a matter of life and death. If he continued to absorb spiritual energy like this, it would only take half a quarter of an hour for him to be drained of all his spiritual energy and die.
As he was shocked, his mind was disturbed and the spiritual energy in his body wanted to break out of his body.
"This is my last chance. If I die, you must die too!"
Li Yan's ferocity was aroused, so he planned to reverse the attributes of the spiritual power in his body and convert all the current attributes in his body into fire attributes.
These are also the results of his recent frequent experiments on himself. The "Black Night Curtain Green Power" practiced by Master Ji is of wood attribute, so he wants to absorb the spiritual power of wood attribute, so that he can help him break through.
And in Li Yan's daily practice, he could feel that when the spiritual power was running close to the suppressed fire poison in the corner of his dantian, only when the wood attribute was close would that place react mediocrely.
Once spiritual powers of other attributes approach, there will be a feeling of restlessness, especially when fire attribute spiritual power approaches, this feeling is more obvious, which should be because it is from the same lineage as the fire poison.
In this critical situation, Li Yan planned to convert all his spiritual power into fire spiritual power and let Master Ji absorb it. This would then trigger the fire poison and cause chaos in Master Ji's spiritual power.
The result was that even if Master Ji was not killed on the spot, he would not have lasted long afterwards.
However, the moment the spiritual power was sucked into Master Ji's body, he would find that the properties of the spiritual power were wrong.
In anger, he only needed to exert a little force on the palm of his hand on the top of his head, and he would be one step ahead of Military Advisor Ji.
At this moment, there was a rapid sound of breaking air in the forest coming from far away, and two figures flew over, leaving behind the sound of their clothes.
"Haha, Brother Li, don't worry, I'm here." As he spoke, two figures flew in front of Li Yan and the other man. They were Hong Linying and his big brother junior.
Strategist Ji was shocked when he saw this, and quickly stabilized his spiritual power, but his palm still remained above Li Yan's head.
"Master Ji, is it the right time for the two of us to come?"
After Hong Linying stood still.
"It's you? Humph, what a brilliant hiding method! I just searched the area within a few miles and didn't find anything unusual. How did you do it?"
Advisor Ji placed one hand on the top of Li Yan's head and spoke without turning his head.
At this moment, he was shocked and angry. Such a thing happened at the critical moment.
Just now, in order to ensure that he would not be disturbed when absorbing spiritual energy, I searched the area for several miles, but except for some small animals and birds in the trees, I didn't find anything that could threaten him.
"Oh? It seems that you know my junior fellow apprentice? In that case, Master Ji Jun, you are the smart one. You have been pretending to be ignorant all this time."
After hearing what Master Ji said, Hong Linying did not answer but asked instead. He was the first to hear that Master Ji seemed to know the existence of his junior brother.
"Then what is Marshal Hong's intention in coming here? To spy on my master and disciple practicing martial arts?"
Division Ji also did not answer but asked instead.
"Hehehe... Why do you say that, Strategist Ji? We came here just because we are fascinated by your martial arts. Can we borrow your secret manual to see it? I guess you are stuck in this situation, right?"
Hong Linying was even more direct and started to speak bluntly.
"I didn't expect Marshal Hong to have such a keen eye. It's not a bad idea for you to take a look at our secret manual, but I don't have it with me. How about I go back to the mansion to get it and send it to you in the morning?"
Hong Linying didn't come early or late, but arrived just when he was practicing the Soul Absorbing Technique. He judged the timing very accurately.
Once the Soul Absorbing Technique is activated, it cannot be stopped, otherwise there will be backlash. Fortunately, he has just started to practice the technique and is still able to stabilize his spiritual power, but at most it will only be delayed for a while.
Hong Linying knew that he and his two fellow disciples combined were no match for Master Ji, so he was extremely cautious on this trip.
There is just one thing they know, no matter martial artists are practicing or healing, the most taboo thing is to be disturbed, which could result in serious injuries at best, or even death from insanity.
Therefore, although Li Yan agreed with them to attack together, Hong Linying had no intention of taking action right from the beginning. He was just waiting for Master Ji to catch Li Yan. Once the other party started to heal his wounds, all problems would be solved.
They knew very well that Master Ji was extremely powerful, so the two of them could only keep a distance from him and did not dare to get close, but as long as they could see his movements a little, it would be enough.
Division Ji has reached the third level of Qi Condensation Stage, so his consciousness cannot be too far away from his body. Although his eyes are sharp, he is intentional.
When he was searching outside, Hong Linying and the other man saw him coming from afar and retreated. When he came back, they immediately lurked towards him again.
It was not until Master Ji launched his soul-sucking technique that the two of them looked at each other and immediately appeared.
"Then how can we do this? How about Master Ji orally recite a few mantras for my two brothers to comprehend?"
Hong Linying shook his bald head and directly rejected it.
"Hehehe... It seems that Marshal Hong doesn't believe Ji anymore. You see Ji is practicing with his disciple. How about we do it later?"
Division Master Ji could already feel the spiritual energy in his body beginning to surge rapidly.
"At... around the waist"
At this time, a voice came with difficulty. It was Li Yan who had been practicing Qigong for a while and finally managed to resist the strong suction on the top door and barely spoke.
"oh!"
Upon hearing this, Hong Linying and the other two quickly turned their gazes towards Military Advisor Ji's waist. At this moment, the jade book was inserted diagonally on the belt around Military Advisor Ji's waist. It actually seemed to be glowing in the night, and it was obvious that it was not an ordinary object.
The two men looked at each other and suddenly jumped up at the same time. They had kept a distance from each other because they were afraid of Strategist Ji.
At this time, the two men came like the wind. The big man hit Master Ji on the back with his palm, while Hong Linying bent his fingers into claws and grabbed the jade book on Master Ji's waist. At the same time, Hong Linying was still talking to herself.
"Master Ji, since you are unwilling to get up and bring it to me, how about I take it out myself?"
There was a faint sound of thunder in his voice, which was the result of him secretly using the Buddhist "Lion's Roar".
They were masters of the martial arts world who had been fighting for many years. They knew that Strategist Ji was exercising to heal his injuries, so they should avoid disturbing him. While attacking him, they used their internal energy and exhaled to disturb his mind.
Because one of Master Ji's hands was disabled, his other hand was already forming a suction force with Li Yan's top, unable to move away, so how could he have the ability to block? However, he still had his back to the two people who were about to pounce on him, his face expressionless, and he was still talking.
"I have also explored this area beforehand. You two should not have ambushed here with this kid in advance. You only know my every move by hanging far behind me, but I don't know how you managed to follow me all the way?"
