Chapter 15 Is This the Way Humans Survive?
"Stop it!"
The giant eagle was shocked. What did it see? It saw Lu Pingxi actually depicting the Burning Flame Array, an offensive formation that can only be controlled by those with spiritual power reaching the fifth level of Qi training. What did he want to do? Was he planning to set the forest on fire?
If you are so noisy in the Qi training stage, do you want to go to heaven when you reach the foundation building stage? Flower Fairy, you said you would teach one formation a month, how many have you taught already?
Lu Pingxi said calmly: "In order to prevent the high-level monsters from using surveillance seeds and other means to monitor the third layer, I have to use a powerful offensive formation to destroy everything."
The giant eagle shouted: "No! Impossible! High-level monsters will not use such means, you think too much!"
Lu Pingxi frowned: "Really? I thought the high-level had noticed the extraordinary potential of humans, so they would use surveillance seeds and other means to monitor the humans on the third and fourth layers. Am I overthinking it?"
The giant eagle shouted: "You really worry too much!"
Lu Pingxi shook his head: "Whatever."
As he said, he stopped carving the formation and walked into the extinguished flame to search. The demon deer had turned into ashes. In the small flame formation of the third level of Qi training, its body could not withstand such high temperatures at all.
Lu Pingxi found a pair of deer antlers emitting blue light and a crystal clear demon crystal in a pile of charcoal.
This demon crystal is the tuition Lu Pingxi paid to the little flower demon. Lu Pingxi and the little flower demon agreed to use the demon crystal as the tuition for learning the formation. The little flower demon thought for a moment and agreed. She now urgently needs a demon crystal containing a lot of spiritual energy to repair her injuries and restore her realm.
As mentioned before, mental power is the upper limit of the realm, and spiritual energy is the sink of the realm. Without enough spiritual energy, she can't return to the previous realm.
This is because she is a plant-type demon beast. Although the attack power of plant-type demon beasts is not strong, they have strong survival ability. If it were an animal-type demon beast, it would be impossible to survive with only one-fifth of the soul left.
Lu Pingxi collected the materials he had found, and then said, "OK, let's go hunt the next monster now."
The giant eagle complained, "At your speed, you can only hunt two or three monsters a day. Also, do you leave the meat? Otherwise, what will we eat?"
Lu Pingxi said, "This time, I wanted to test the power of the fire formation. I won't do it next time."
After that, Lu Pingxi began to set up the formation on the spot again.
The giant eagle asked, "What are you doing again? Why do you still need to set up the formation? There is too much spiritual energy and nowhere to use it?"
Lu Pingxi said, "Giant Eagle, you are too unvigilant. Such a large destruction site will inevitably attract the attention of the high-level monsters monitoring the third floor, so I must set up a formation, but it will be triggered when a high-level monster enters, destroying all evidence, and by the way, seriously injuring the high-level monster, buying time for my human race!"
Giant Eagle: "."
No! There is no such monster? Which high-level monster would be bored and come to such a place with thin spiritual energy to monitor you?
Lu Pingxi seemed to see what the giant eagle was thinking from its expression. He said, "If it were me, I would send a monster to do this."
The giant eagle was too lazy to pay attention to Lu Pingxi. It continued to circle in the sky. Its eagle eyes could see through everything. Of course, it could find suspicious monsters. The monsters at the top were not monolithic, so it would certainly be wary of other monsters.
No! How come my thoughts have also become Lu Pingxi's?
The giant eagle shook its head hurriedly, and then followed Lu Pingxi who had set up the trap and left. More than an hour later, a huge explosion suddenly occurred at the location where Lu Pingxi set up the trap, and then a column of flames shot up into the sky, and a shrill scream came over.
The giant eagle was startled.
What's going on? Is there really a monitor from the top?
The giant eagle didn't believe that a first-grade Qi training monster accidentally stepped on the trap. After all, if a first-grade Qi training monster stepped on this kind of trap, it would evaporate in an instant and couldn't even scream.
The giant eagle fell down. It didn't dare to hover in the sky anymore. It followed Lu Pingxi's example and walked forward in the jungle.
Lu Pingxi glanced at the direction of the explosion, then turned and walked away.
The giant eagle asked cautiously, "Aren't you going back to check it out?"
Lu Pingxi said, "This is the burning flame array trap that I improved. It can't kill the opponent, which means that the opponent must be very strong. And you didn't find it in the air, which means that the monster's stealth method is very sophisticated. So, it's useless for me to go back and check it out. On the contrary, it's possible that I will be trapped by the trap set by the opponent!"
The giant eagle now didn't dare to question Lu Pingxi. It suddenly found that Lu Pingxi's caution seemed to be reasonable. At least, his caution allowed him to successfully defeat himself, and his caution also successfully blew up a watcher.
The giant eagle even thought about it.
Is this the way humans survive? Is my daily life too peaceful, so I am not vigilant enough?
The giant eagle had previously captured a businessman and adventurer who came to the third floor. From that person's memory, the giant eagle learned that although the human society outside was not full of fighting all day, it was fighting openly and secretly, and various means emerged one after another.
That person once fought with others in a place called XX Street using stocks. In that place, some people could become rich overnight, while others could lose everything overnight. In that place, everyone had to play strategies. Today's friends might become enemies tomorrow, and today's enemies could become friends tomorrow.
It was a world of intrigue and mutual calculation. The giant eagle felt that with its intelligence, it might be sold out without a hair left.
Originally, it thought that this was just a special case in the human world, but now after seeing Lu Pingxi, it was convinced that humans were definitely an extremely terrible race. Everyone among them was good at wits and scheming. If they couldn't be eliminated, it would be better to have a good relationship with them!
At this moment, in the giant eagle's heart, the threat of humans to their demon race has risen to a higher level, but the giant eagle's racial belonging is only to the giant eagle clan. Other demon races are foreign races to it, just like humans, so it doesn't mind betraying the demon race and uniting with the human race.
The giant eagle continued to follow Lu Pingxi to hunt monsters. Lu Pingxi's hunting efficiency was not high, but it was very safe and secretive.
Every time Lu Pingxi successfully hunted, he would set a trap, but these traps were never triggered again. It seems that the powerful monitor has been injured and hid.
Lu Pingxi was right. He did buy some time for humans.
The observer would never have thought that this was a trap set by humans. It would only think that this level of trap was set by other monsters, and there was only one monster on the third level that was so proficient in traps.
The little flower demon who was in retreat suddenly sneezed. She scratched the flower bud on her head: "Strange, I feel like I've been blamed."
After thinking about it, the little flower demon continued to retreat and heal her wounds. Lu Pingxi continued to hunt monsters, practice, and learn formations.
In this way, another month passed.
