Chapter 8 Stone Forest Formation
Miao Yongyuan glanced at everyone and asked, "Has anyone been bitten by cockroaches? Come here to deal with it. This mutated cockroach is a little toxic. If it is bitten or scratched, it must be properly treated."
Sure enough, someone was still injured. One of the new team members Liang Jinshi raised his hand weakly and said, "I...it seems to have been bitten on my feet." His voice was soft and soft, and it was a little glutinous.
As a team doctor, Miao Yongyuan naturally had nothing to say, so he came forward to help check and deal with the wound. But he was also a little strange. He seemed to be weak like her, and he shouldn't come to the Exploration Team, right? In his opinion, the girls in the Exploration Team should be as capable and refreshed as Zhao Xuanhe.
Fortunately, the bitten part of Liang Jinshi's calf was only broken and bleeding, but the wound was not big and did not affect her movement. Miao Yongyuan helped her clean the wound, gave her an injection, and then put a band-aid on it.
If you are bitten and scratched by cockroaches, everything else is fine. The main thing you are afraid of is the toxicity it carries. In fact, if it is a single cockroach, use a sword to cut off its head, remove its feet and wings, and deal with it slightly, or even edible. It’s just that most people think it’s disgusting and no one does this.
Seeing that everyone was fine, Cao Hexuan waved his hand and said, "Go!"
Following the map guidance, the exploration team arrived in front of a stone forest.
There are piles of stones and stone pillars, with different heights and sizes, with the heights reaching seven or eight meters, and the shortest is only as low as the knees of a person.
Without entering directly, the team stopped outside the stone forest. Such complex terrain, if you might get lost if you don’t do it well.
"Old Liu, what do you think?" Cao Hexuan asked, looking at Liu Han who was observing and looking at Shi Lin.
Vice Captain Liu Han is good at exploring the environment. It is said that he also understands the Feng Shui techniques of ancient China and the Qimen Formation. He is a special talent.
In the team, the captain called him Lao Liu. In fact, he is only in his early thirties. Others either call him deputy captain or call him Brother Liu.
Liu Han suggested: "It seems like a formation, although it is broken. I think it's better to camp first and wait until it is more clearly before entering, otherwise it may easily fall into it."
In the revival of martial arts and cultivation, people no longer regard Feng Shui, Qimen Formation and other feudal superstitions. Of course, it is difficult for ordinary people to understand the profound things in the formation, and that is a special knowledge. For many people, they often simply think that the formation is actually a maze, or a special maze.
However, in fact, the formation is not just a maze of trapped people, but there are many types, such as trapped people, such as killing, protection, gathering spirits, etc., various forms and various functions.
Cao Hexuan also understood this, followed the advice and ordered to go camp.
Liu Han turned around at the entrance of the stone forest and then released a small drone, hoping to discover something from above.
Liu Han controlled the drone to fly up. At first, it was fine, but it didn't fly far, and the monitor flashed a few times, and then the screen went black.
"There is an unusual magnetic field over this stone forest. The drone crashed like this and it was too late to recall it." Miao Yongyuan seemed to see a big sweat bead symbol on Liu Han's forehead.
Cao Hexuan asked loudly: "Who else do you understand the formation? Come and study it together."
To everyone's surprise, Liang Jinshi, who looked soft and weak, responded and walked over.
"You really shouldn't behave like a person!" Zhao Feichen exclaimed softly beside Miao Yongyuan: "I didn't expect that she would understand such a complicated thing."
Miao Yongyuan smiled and said, "As long as you are willing to study hard, most of the things in this world are not as complicated as you think."
Zhao Feichen glanced at him, "Then why don't you know the formation?"
"Uh, I haven't learned it." Miao Yongyuan really knows formations, and in fact, he doesn't know at all. However, what he knows is the sword formation method in the "Hunyuan Sword Sutra". He really doesn't understand physical formations like Shi Lin. Although they are all formations, they are not the same thing. Just like the combined attack method taught by the captain, it can also be regarded as a formation.
Miao Yongyuan and the others did not understand the formation and could not help, so they naturally could only do their own duties to do their own work, deploy defenses, and set up camps.
If you can't help, you can rest or practice by yourself, and of course there are some alerts. This is not as good as the inner domain.
A few hours later, the deputy captain Liu Han and Liang Jinshi came over together, discussed with the captain Cao Hexuan, and then summoned everyone.
Liu Han said: "I have almost done my research. Basically, I can confirm that this is a seven-star eight-gua formation, with the outer eight-gua and the inner seven-star. If this formation is in good condition, we are afraid that we can't get in, but now it is broken, which gives us a chance. However, although it is broken, there are still some inside that is running, so if you go in, you should be careful not to fall into it like others."
"Yes, I discussed with the deputy captain and prepared to arrange some people to go in. The others are waiting here to answer." Cao Hexuan took Liu Han's words, but arranged it: "I, deputy captain, Fan Xuanhe, Liang Da, Miao Yongyuan, the five of us went in, and the rest were left. The people who stayed were temporarily commanded by Zhao Feichen."
"I understand!" everyone responded in unison.
The group of five people was led by Liu Han, and the captain and Fan Xuanhe acted as guards. After all, the three of them have always cooperated with each other and had a tacit understanding. Once something happens, it will be convenient to deal with it.
Miao Yongyuan followed closely. He was a team doctor and was ready to deal with emergencies at any time to treat them. As for Liang Da, he was also a combatant, and following him was to prevent any emergencies from happening behind him.
The few people did not just walk in casually. When the deputy captain opened the way, Liang Da at the end of the team still needed to mark the road so that he could retreat in time when encountering emergencies.
In a blink of an eye, the five people disappeared into the stone forest.
Miao Yongyuan discovered that the deputy captain was not walking in a straight line, but was spinning left and right from time to time, or even regressing, but it really made him a little dizzy.
Sure enough, the formation is like a maze!
I didn't encounter any danger along the way, but when my mind was tense, I felt that time passed very slowly.
Miao Yongyuan couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Deputy Captain, this formation seems to be nothing."
Before, Liu Han identified the path and replied: "Don't underestimate this formation. This is a guardian formation. It should be something in the formation. Look at your bracelet, but there is still a signal?"
Miao Yongyuan subconsciously raised his left hand and glanced at the bracelet on his wrist, and said in surprise: "How could this happen?"
"No wonder, because of the formation, the magnetic field is chaotic, which makes people lose their direction. If you go around, you will trap people inside, and you will not be able to send a help signal, which will eventually trap people to death." Liu Han also had a good impression of Miao Yongyuan, so he explained.
As for other things, Miao Yongyuan knew a little. For example, why didn’t you blow up the stone forest directly? It was not difficult to blow up, but after the blow up, you would definitely not get anything. Or, starting from the outside, you would demolish the stone forest bit by bit and emptiate it? That would be too troublesome and inefficient. And if there was no gain, it would be a little loss.
Therefore, in the end, the above will choose the relatively efficient method and send a large number of exploration teams. While removing monsters, if you find places with great value, a large number of engineers will be arranged to develop. Of course, you may need to use the method mentioned above at this time. In fact, there is nothing you can do about this. After all, the underground world is too big.
Suddenly, Liu Han stopped and asked, "Do you feel anything strange?"
The few people looked at each other and shook their heads.
"The air here seems a little wet?" Fan Xuanhe said with some uncertainty. After all, it is a girl, so she is more sensitive.
Miao Yongyuan felt it carefully, nodded, and said in surprise: "It's true! Is there still a source of water in the middle of the formation?"
"No wonder, it's normal to have water sources, but it's very rare." Cao Hexuan said: "Xiaomiao, you haven't been here for a long time, and I don't know a lot of things. We have discovered four or five water sources in our No. C dungeon. It is said that a large-scale transformation will be carried out soon, and then a large number of immigrants will begin. If another water source is found here, we should get a lot of rewards when we go back this time."
The captain said that Miao Yongyuan was indeed not clear. He always thought that the water here was artificially synthesized or transported from the earth. As for the large number of immigrants, he knew that immigration had already started in the dungeons of A and B.
Now the development of the Dungeon No. C or the area of monsters has been basically explored and cleared, which has long exceeded 200 square kilometers. It is reasonable to talk about immigration. After all, to truly build a good place, enough manpower is the foundation, and the most important thing is that the dungeon can be cultivated. If there is enough population to cultivate, then more powerful people can naturally appear from it, which is a good thing in any aspect.
Several people followed Liu Han around, and finally turned over a thick stone pillar and their eyes lit up.
This brightness does not mean that there is bright light in front of it, but that there are fewer stone pillars to block it, and the vision becomes wider.
"Okay, finally come in."
The scene that appeared in front of everyone made everyone a little stunned. A few crooked stone pillars were directly up to the ceiling, with thick rocks above it. This place was already out of the scope of the stone forest, but instead it was a relatively closed space. However, it did not make people feel depressed or stuffy, because it was tall enough that it was visually estimated to be at least fifty or sixty meters high.
These are not reasons that make people stunned, but there are water stains on the ground. A little further away is a small lake, with glimmer of light reflected on the slightly rippling water surface.
There is actually a source of water!
