After Chen Lei killed the invading Black Skeleton Bandits like cutting melons and vegetables, the danger in the entire Spirit Valley was temporarily resolved.
However, neither Chen Lei nor Princess Qianqian felt relieved. Instead, they felt more pressured.
The Black Skull Bandits are very famous, and it is said that there are powerful Martial Emperor-level warriors among them. This time, only a small group of Black Skull Bandits came. If a Martial Emperor-level Black Skull Bandit is provoked, the entire Spiritual Valley will be impossible to defend.
"Alright, let's clean up the mess and repair the damaged defenses first."
Princess Qianqian directed everyone to clean up the mess first, and then Princess Qianqian and Chen Lei began to discuss the next countermeasures alone.
The Black Skeleton Bandits are bloody and cruel, and they will never let go of a grudge. Chen Lei's killing of dozens of Black Skeleton Bandits this time will definitely lead to greater revenge.
"What should we do next? Linggu will definitely not be able to stop the Black Skull Bandits."
Princess Qianqian asked Chen Lei. She had already made the worst plan, which was that if it really didn't work, she would give up this spiritual valley and return to Baofu Kingdom. Although this spiritual valley was important, people were more important.
"Don't worry, let's see how the situation develops. There will always be a way."
Chen Lei was not too pessimistic. Although the Black Skull Thief was very famous, it was not so easy to easily mobilize a Martial Emperor-level thief. If a Martial Emperor-level thief took action, too many people would be involved. Some other forces would definitely take action to restrain the Black Skull Thief.
In the next few days, Chen Lei, Princess Qianqian and others will focus on getting information about the Black Skeleton Bandits. However, their intelligence system is not perfect, so they let Zhang Fu do more of this.
In addition to inquiring about the Black Skeleton Bandits, Chen Lei spent the rest of his time exploring the entire Spirit Valley, leaving his footprints on every inch of land in the valley.
The reason why Chen Lei did this was that he wanted to set up a large formation here.
This is actually a terrain where all spirits return to the sea. In fact, there is the shadow of some kind of natural formation in it.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for there to be so many spirit stones here.
Chen Lei wanted to take advantage of the original earth veins here to set up a large formation, at least to defend against the attacks of Martial Emperor-level powerhouses.
You know, this spiritual valley is really rare. It would be a pity to give up on it.
Chen Lei is unable to use his spiritual power now. Otherwise, he could open the Qingyang Palace, take out a set of ready-made formation plates and arrange them, then the formation would naturally be formed. But now, it is impossible. He cannot use his spiritual power. He can only rely on his feet and walk through every inch of land in this spiritual valley to have an idea of what is going on.
However, Chen Lei's strength has greatly improved now, his speed is also faster, his senses are also extremely sharp, and his thinking is dozens of times more active. After several days of exploration, he already has a plan in his mind.
This spiritual valley is a natural spiritual place where hundreds of meridians converge. With just a little guidance, it is possible to stimulate the power of all the meridians and exert a powerful defensive capability.
Chen Lei felt that if he made use of the power of the earth veins here and set up a formation, relying on the power of the hundreds of underground veins, not to mention the peak Martial Emperor, at least the sixth or seventh level of Martial Emperor would not be able to break through this place.
