Chapter 2858 Ambergris
Lu Shan evenly spread all the ambergris around their camp, and then walked towards Chen Xuan and said, "Brother Chen, I need to set up a formation now, can you help me?"
Chen Xuan nodded gently and replied, "Of course, after all, everyone has to rest here at night. If you need any help, just call me directly."
Wang Lun also replied beside him, "That's right, as long as you notify us, we will definitely help. This time everyone has spent a night in the poisonous rock forest, and there must be danger."
"Okay, since you two are like this, then I won't hide it. The name of this formation is the guard formation. This formation can protect the area around our camp at night. If a monster approaches, I can sense the location of the monster, and this formation can also help us build a barrier around us to hide our breath." Lu Shan echoed beside him.
Chen Xuan nodded and replied, "I have heard of this formation, but it requires a lot of materials. Do you have any preparations?"
Lu Fan was originally building the campfire needed for the camp. Seeing Lu Shan discussing with Chen Xuan, he walked towards them and said, "You two, we have all the materials to build the formation, but we can't just set up the formation with just the two of us. This guard formation requires four people to complete. One less person will not work."
Wang Lun showed a hint of surprise and said, "I know nothing about formations. You should ask Chen Xuan about this. Chen Xuan has studied formations."
Chen Xuan saw that everyone's eyes were on him, so he nodded gently and said, "I have studied formations, but I haven't set up the guard formation. I hope you can help me."
Lu Shan saw that Chen Xuan agreed, so he showed joy on his face and took out several materials for setting up the formation from the storage ring. After seeing these materials, Chen Xuan also showed a hint of surprise.
These materials for setting up the formation are very precious. If you want to set up the entire guard formation, you may need more than a dozen black iron essences, and even a large number of crystal cores for storage.
The reason why the formation can operate smoothly is that the crystal core provides a large amount of true energy to maintain the operation of the formation. If any material is missing in the formation, the effect of the arrangement will be greatly reduced.
At the same time, Lu Shan took out a flag from the ring again.
"Everyone, this is the flag needed to set up the guard formation. At that time, you need to help me add spiritual power to the flag. At that time, Lu Shan and I will observe the operation of the flag. As long as you see the flag flashing purple light, it means that the formation has been completed, and then you can leave." Lu Fan said.
After listening, Chen Xuan nodded. He also studied the formation and knew the trouble of setting up the formation. They also knew how to use the array flag, so Chen Xuan said to them: "You two, go and arrange the materials needed for the array first, and leave the flag to us." Chen Xuan was also somewhat relieved. After all, the flag was the basis of the array. Although the operation of the array required a lot of materials to provide spiritual energy, it was actually this inconspicuous flag that controlled the array. When Chen Xuan was in the city lord's secret room, it was because he found the flag that controlled the array that he was able to control the array to defeat the warriors of those families. Otherwise, it would not be so easy for Chen Xuan to defeat them with his strength. At this moment, Lu Shan had led everyone to the surroundings of the camp. It took them more than two hours to build this camp. The entire camp covers an area of more than ten meters, but they did not dare to build such a large gathering place in the poisonous rock forest, because they had already experienced the dangers in the poisonous rock forest. Just passing through the poisonous rock forest, they encountered a group of monsters attacking them, and even encountered a poisonous snake biting them. It was because of this poisonous snake that their teammates were poisoned, and now they can only stay in the poisonous rock forest for one night.
Everyone knows what it means to stay in the poisonous rock forest for one night. Not only will the danger increase a lot, but there are also many unknown dangers in the poisonous rock forest, which are all what they need to deal with tonight.
And the current guard formation is what they are preparing for. Although Chen Xuan is not clear about the power of this formation, he has also heard about it. He knows that although this formation does not have a strong killing power, it can play a lot of roles when many people march.
In particular, the formation can hide their breath, and the guard formation can also sensitively detect monsters active in the distance. If the monster attacks their territory, the guard formation will also play a role, which can greatly weaken the monster's offensiveness.
Seeing the two of them setting up the formation, Wang Lun did not have much research on the formation, so Chen Xuan asked Wang Lun to guard the flag in the center of the camp.
"Wang Lun, the two of them are going to set up the formation. I'll go over and take a look. If the flag lights up later, it means the formation has been completed and the flag is full of spiritual power. You don't need to gather the spiritual power in your body into it." Chen Xuan looked at Wang Lun and said.
Wang Lun nodded and said, "Okay, then Chen Xuan, you go over. I'll stay here."
Seeing that there was a lot of discussion here, Lian Qing also ran over from the side with a look of great concern.
The previous few battles had caused Lian Qing to suffer some minor injuries, but he was still young, and it was the first time he saw someone setting up a formation, so he ran towards Chen Xuan with curiosity.
"Brother Chen, what kind of formation did you make? Can I go over and take a look? This is the first time I've seen someone set up a formation. When I was young, I also saw our family's elders set up a large formation, but I was too old at the time, so I don't know what kind of formation he knew." Lian Qing shouted to Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan smiled and said, "Of course I can take you, but you'd better ask your eldest brother for his opinion."
Chen Xuan knew that the two of them were from the same family, and Lian Hong was Lian Qing's eldest brother.
Lian Qing was only a teenager, but Lian Hong was about the same age as Chen Xuan.
At this moment, Lian Hong looked towards Chen Xuan and said to him, "Second brother, don't bother them. Why are you joining in the fun when others are setting up formations? You don't know how to set up formations. You can only cause trouble for others if you go there. Come quickly!"
Hearing this, Lian Qing showed a bit of dissatisfaction on his face, but he could not do anything and could only go back in anger.
This time, their division of labor was very clear. Lian Ru, Lian Hong and Lian Qing were responsible for the construction of the camp, and the other guards picked up some bonfires to protect against the attacks of monsters at night.
The others began to prepare to set up formations, including Chen Xuan and Wang Lun.
Chen Xuan had some understanding of formations, and he also knew that it was far from enough to set up only one formation in the poisonous rock forest. Chen Xuan planned to set up a sword-destroying formation after they finished.
The sword-destroying formation was somewhat different from the formation. The sword-destroying formation was mainly offensive, but not defensive. As for the formation, it had strong defensive capabilities, so it lost some offensiveness.
The reason why Chen Xuan was going to set up a sword-killing formation was because if they were attacked by monsters, the defense of the formation alone was far from enough. If they wanted to resist powerful monsters in the poisonous rock forest, they had to set up a sword-killing formation.
Therefore, Chen Xuan found the two of them and said to everyone: "You two, we are probably still very dangerous in this poisonous rock forest. Why don't I set up a sword-killing formation now? Let's set it up together and see who can finish it first."
"Hahahaha, I didn't expect Brother Chen to have this leisure time. Since you are so willing, I will compete with you today to see who is faster!" As soon as he finished speaking, he said to Lu Fan next to him: "Lu Fan, go and get the black iron stone next to me. I will now gather my spiritual power into the black iron stone. As long as two more hours pass, the formation can be completed."
Chen Xuan knew that he was talking to himself, so he smiled and said to him: "Since you two are ready to set up the formation, I will not neglect it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Xuan took out the materials needed to set up the formation from the storage ring one by one.
The formation that Chen Xuan was setting up now was the sword-destroying formation that he had set up in the mansion before, and this sword-destroying formation had a very strong killing power. This was a formation that Chen Xuan got from the previous city lord, and Chen Xuan had never used it since then.
The main thing was that Chen Xuan had never used the formation to resist the attack of the monster beast, and Chen Xuan was very curious about this and wanted to see what kind of magic this formation had.
They both set up the formation at the fastest speed. Chen Xuan had set up this formation before, so the speed was much faster now.
Chen Xuan took out two black iron stones from the side. Black iron stones were necessary for setting up the formation, because a large amount of true qi could be stored in the black iron stone, and the reason why the formation could work was because of the existence of true qi.
There was also a large amount of true qi in the black iron stone. What the formation master needed to do was to add his own true qi to it to control the black iron stone. As long as the black iron stone had the true qi of the caster, it could be used to control the black iron stone, and then use the black iron stone to control the operation of the formation.
At this moment, Chen Xuan began to condense the true energy in his body, and a stream of true energy began to emerge from Chen Xuan's body. A faint red light was seen on Chen Xuan's body. Then these true energy quickly rotated in the air and gathered towards the black iron stone on the ground. Chen Xuan looked at the glowing black iron stone and then formed a seal with both hands.
"Get up!" As Chen Xuan's voice sounded, the black iron stone on the ground suddenly floated in the air. These black iron stones kept rotating, and then Chen Xuan controlled the black iron stones in the air with one hand, and took out a few white crystals from the storage ring with the other hand.
Although the white crystal cannot store a large amount of true energy, its continuity is very strong. Through these crystals, Chen Xuan can store a large amount of true energy in them, and these crystals also have a trace of strange true energy. Although Chen Xuan does not know what the principle is, these crystals can control the operation of the entire formation.
Once the formation is formed, you can see traces of light blue light emerging around, and the crystals can store the true energy overflowing from the halo.
At the same time, after Chen Xuan took out the crystal, he threw it directly on Lin. These crystals were not ordinary items. Even if they were thrown on the ground casually, they revealed a trace of blue light.
These blue lights suddenly flickered, and then a trace of true energy flowed out from them. The black iron stone and the crystal were connected together, and two huge true energy flowed in the air. Then the two true energy began to rotate rapidly, and the crystal actually began to slowly dissolve.
The dissolved crystal turned into liquid and gathered on the black iron stone. Then Chen Xuan took out a large amount of materials from the storage ring. These were all necessary for him to set up the formation. After Chen Xuan arranged these materials, more than an hour had passed.
When arranging the formation, Chen Xuan turned his head to look at the formation they were arranging over there, and found that their formation had not been arranged yet, so Chen Xuan smiled knowingly.
