Before officially exploring the forbidden area, Ye Zan still has one thing to do, which is to repair the teleportation circle here. The good thing is that compared to the teleportation arrays outside, although this teleportation array is damaged, the damage is not serious. Just like a computer, it is also damaged and cannot be used. There is a difference between a burned out motherboard and a burned out memory. There is also a difference between a software failure and a hardware failure.
After Ye Zan walked out of the teleportation circle, he turned around and observed it carefully, and said with confidence: "This teleportation circle is still complete, but the formation pattern on it has been eroded and ineffective. Just re-draw the formation pattern. Thank you for your help. Senior, please protect me for a moment.”
"Fellow Daoist, just do what you can, and leave the rest to me." The Supreme Dao Yuan nodded and responded, looking around with full vigilance. If it weren't for the thick fog, he wouldn't have to do this at all, but why couldn't he use his spiritual consciousness here? Fortunately, he had Ye Zan's detection glasses, otherwise even if he was the Supreme Being, he would only be blind in this thick fog.
On Ye Zan's side, what he has to do is not complicated, and he doesn't need to go to war like before. He just needs to redraw the formation pattern with the magic formula. On the teleportation array, array patterns spread rapidly, and soon a new spiderweb-like network of array patterns was formed in the array.
After carving the formation patterns, Ye Zan then took out a few more spiritual stones and was about to inlay these spiritual stones into the formation eye stone pillar. However, with the appearance of this spiritual stone, the dense fog that was originally silent around it suddenly began to roll violently as if boiling.
Daoyuan Supreme, who had been protecting Ye Zan, naturally noticed the strangeness around him, and suddenly staggered to the other side of Ye Zan and punched into the thick fog.
Daoyuan Supreme is essentially a machine puppet, and its body is composed of "high-quality parts" of various wild beasts. Therefore, its strength lies in the physical body rather than the magical power. The reason why he is able to use his divine consciousness does not actually come from the ability of the machine puppet, but from his ability as the supreme clone of the divine machine.
Facing the perceived abnormality, Daoyuan Supreme swung a punch like a secular warrior, but its power was not inferior to any heaven-level spell. I saw that punch hitting the thick fog, instantly arousing layers of ripples visible to the naked eye, and even forcing the large area of thick fog back dozens of meters, as if it had created a wall of fog. of.
And in the thick fog that was forced back, probably because of the change in density, the scene that appeared was not a uniform fog wall. Instead, within the wall of fog, there were some weird-looking things faintly revealed, which looked like a group of twisted ghosts.
"These things, could they be some kind of ghost?" Ye Zan had already placed the spirit stones at this time, turned back and looked at the fog wall, and said with some confusion.
Having been in this world for so long, Ye Zan is naturally no stranger to things like ghosts and ghosts. However, precisely because of his understanding, he knew what the Yinhun Ligui was, which made him even more puzzled by the situation at this time.
First of all, ghosts may be very scary existences to ordinary people, but they are not something extraordinary to ascetics. Especially, for a powerful person like Daoyuan Supreme, ordinary ghosts are no different from ants. A snap of a finger is enough to make any ghost disappear into ashes.
Unless, that fierce ghost has cultivated the ghost way, and continues to improve his realm like a monk, becoming a ghost king or even a ghost immortal along the way. However, such ghosts can no longer be said to be serious ghosts, but can be called a branch of ascetics, usually called ghost cultivators. To put it bluntly, ghost cultivators are also Taoists, but they just don’t have a physical body.
But now, those twisted and weird things in that fog wall definitely cannot be ghost cultivators. But if it's a fierce ghost, the punch given by Dao Yuan Supreme just now, no matter how powerful the ghost is, will be finished. However, they were only blocked by the mist on the opposite side and were not destroyed by the punch.
In addition, another characteristic of fierce ghosts is that they themselves radiate the power of ghost energy or Yin energy. If the ghosts on the other side were really powerful ghosts, then Ye Zan would not be able to detect the ghost energy in the thick fog. In particular, Ye Zan himself cultivates the path of true knowledge and has an eye of insight that can see through many things that others cannot see.
"These things seem to be condensed in this mist." Daoyuan Supreme has also fought against the other party. Even though he does not have the insight like Ye Zan, he will have a clearer and more direct understanding.
After hearing the words of Daoyuan Supreme, Ye Zan immediately changed his perspective and looked at the strange shadows in the fog. Sure enough, he found that those strange shadows were actually denser fog. In other words, in this fog, those strange shadows are almost integrated with the fog. When the density is high, they become strange shadows, and when the density decreases, they are scattered in the fog.
"If you say so..." Ye Zan suddenly turned his head, looked at the teleportation circle, and waved his hand to express his wishful changes. That wishful transformation transformed into thousands of tiny flying swords, flying towards the stone pillar of the teleportation array like a swimming dragon.
Sure enough, following Ye Zan's movements, wherever Ruyi Baibian went, where the stone pillars were inlaid with spiritual stones, strange shadows were blasted out of the mist. However, fog is fog. After those strange figures appeared, their bodies spread out one after another, and in the blink of an eye they all merged into the thick fog again.
Although Ye Zan has technological detection equipment, he can see the density changes in the fog. However, those strange shadows do not always condense their bodies. Instead, they are integrated into the mist in most cases and only condense into shape when needed. That is, unless they condense and form, the detected fog may or may not be all of them.
"This mist is really weird. It actually gave birth to such a monster. I don't know what the origin of this forbidden place is!" Daoyuan Supreme's face was also a little solemn. Although he has heaven-level strength, he has only fought against wild beasts so far, and he really doesn't have much experience in dealing with this kind of strange shadow. Therefore, he was a little unsure about whether he could protect Ye Zan.
"There is indeed some trouble..." Ye Zan watched the fog wall disappear, and the strange shadows in the fog wall merged into the fog. For a moment, he felt that it was not easy to deal with.
In Ye Zan's view, the existence of the strange shadow, or the process of appearing and disappearing, is actually a bit like the use of nano bugs. When nanobugs form something, the nanoparticles are also condensed together, dispersed and spread in the air, making it difficult to find traces.
To deal with this kind of thing, the best way is to set a fire and directly burn the fog in the space, regardless of whether there are any particles of strange shadows in it. But the problem is, let’s not talk about whether the fire can burn. Even if it can really burn, if Ye Zan and Daoyuan Supreme are still in the mist, wouldn’t they burn themselves too
Another point is that if the fire breaks out, with the strength of Ye Zan and Daoyuan Supreme, there is probably no need to worry too much about safety issues, but what about other things in the restricted area. If you want to burn away such mist, you definitely cannot use ordinary ordinary fire. If you use Nanming Li Fire, Samadhi True Fire, etc., what will be left in this space in the end
It's not that Ye Zan is greedy and must take great risks to get those things, it's just that he feels that he hasn't reached that point yet. If there is a problem, find a way to solve it. Don't arbitrarily destroy everything just because the problem exists, unless there is really no way to solve it.
"What do you think, fellow Taoist?" asked Supreme Tao Yuan.
"Let's try it first. The spirit stone seems to be very attractive to those strange figures. Maybe we can use it to make a fuss. Senior, don't worry, if something cannot be done, I will not take uncontrollable risks." Ye Zan said to him Daoyuan Supreme responded, opening his palms towards the teleportation circle. The Ruyi Baichange that had been sacrificed before suddenly transformed into more than a dozen ropes, and took back every spirit stone on the stone pillar of the teleportation circle.
"Fellow Taoist, can you still use the magic weapon?" Dao Yuan Supreme realized this problem at this time, and asked in surprise when he saw Ye Zan taking back the Ruyi Baibian and the spirit stone.
You must know that this mist can isolate spiritual consciousness, and the Royal Envoy's magic weapon relies on spiritual consciousness to control the air. As for the magic tricks used to wield magic weapons, they can actually be said to be "macro instructions" that use spiritual consciousness and activate the runes on the magic weapons.
Therefore, in a place where spiritual consciousness cannot be used, it is difficult for monks to use magic weapons normally.
The Supreme Daoyuan's strength is in this physical body, so whether he can use magic weapons basically has no impact. But Ye Zan is considered a "traditional" cultivator and will rely heavily on magic weapons, at least much more than Daoyuan Supreme. In a place like this, Ye Zan's strength would be reduced by at least half if technological means were not considered.
However, Ye Zan has technological means, so it is impossible not to use them. His use of Ruyi Baibian, at least in this environment, does not completely rely on divine consciousness to control it. Don’t forget, although the Wishful Change is a magic weapon, its structure and principles also have something from the technological world. For example, in addition to the control of spiritual consciousness, those particles that can change as they wish will also be commanded by another wireless signal like nano bugs.
Just now, Ye Zan performed various changes as he wished, from forcing out those strange shadows to taking back those spiritual stones, all of which were actually controlled by wireless signals.
"Haha, I made senior laugh. This is another way to use the magic weapon. Senior can understand that it is like conveying the spirit from a thousand miles away." Of course, it is impossible for Ye Zan to go into details, even if this is actually not a big deal, but now The situation does not allow for lectures.
"That's it!" Daoyuan Supreme is also knowledgeable. It was just a curious question, and it was not necessary to get a detailed answer.
As the two of them exchanged a few words, the surrounding thick fog changed again. Strange shadows condensed in the fog, and the moment they took shape, they headed straight towards Ye Zan. Of course, judging from Ye Zan's speculation just now, the real target of these strange shadows is probably the spiritual stones he took back.
"Everyone, get out of my way!" Upon seeing this, Supreme Dao Yuan immediately waved his arms and punched the surroundings several times in the air. Just like the previous situation, under the bombardment of his punches, the surrounding fog was forced back dozens of meters. This time, he directly created a fog-free space around himself and Ye Zan. He no longer looks like he can't see his fingers.
Of course, although this approach of Daoyuan Supreme seems to be very effective, its actual effect is quite limited. Those strange shadows were not killed and dissipated by him, they could only be temporarily blocked. Moreover, the forced retreating fog will soon engulf this space again. In other words, this is a bit like cutting off the water, and the effect is only reflected briefly at that moment.
However, Ye Zan next to him also made a move at this time. He instantly took out a box from the Qiankun Ring and immediately opened the lid of the box. The box is not big, about the size of a palm. After opening the lid, you can see a cloud of mist coming out, but it quickly dissipates.
"Fellow Taoist, what is this?" Daoyuan Supreme was a little confused. He thought Ye Zan had brought out some magic weapon, but in the end nothing seemed to appear.
"This... is a medicine I have refined. It may have some effect on the strange shadows in the mist." Ye Zan couldn't explain it in detail, so he could only say it in a perfunctory way. In fact, the box he contained was not a medicine, but a nanoworm similar to Ruyi Baibian.
Since the way the strange shadow appears and hides in the mist is similar to the function of nano bugs. Then, Ye Zan simply took out the nano bugs, mixed some sand into the strange shadow in the mist, and also explored the situation of the strange shadow in more detail.
Ye Zan couldn't explain things like nanobugs to Daoyuan Supreme, so he had to use some kind of medicine to cover up. But having said that, these nanoworms can indeed be used as medicine, otherwise how could there be medical nanoworms. Therefore, Ye Zan was not deceiving, at most he was not elaborating.
Of course, Dao Yuan Zhizong's inquiry is not really to inquire about anything. After all, a question often has multiple meanings. As the Supreme Supreme Being, doesn't he still know that he can't pry into other people's secrets at will? The reason why he asked was because what he really wanted to know was whether Ye Zan was sure.
The nanobugs released by Ye Zan quickly flew into the thick fog that had returned, at least achieving an even distribution within a certain range. In other words, once those strange shadows are about to condense and form again, even if these nano bugs cannot disturb them, they can at least remind Ye Zan.
Sure enough, at the next moment, Ye Zan was reminded that several fog claws condensed out of the mist and grabbed the spirit stone in his hand. Facing the Daoyuan Supreme who was about to take action, Ye Zan quickly motioned to the other party not to move, and at the same time, Ruyi Baichange burst out from his palm.
This wishful change came out from Ye Zan's palm, and placing those spiritual stones on it was equivalent to separating Ye Zan's palm and the spiritual stones. At the same time, Ruyi Baibian spread to the surroundings, forming a shape like a tray, just like Ye Zan used the tray to hold the spiritual stones.
Just when those mist claws were about to grab the spirit stone, the Ruyi in Ye Zan's palm suddenly changed again. The "metal tray" suddenly swung upwards from all around, including the spirit stones and mist claws wrapped in it.
