Chapter 221: Breaking out of the formation, encountering another problem

Xiao Jie didn't know much about magic arrays, but he was very familiar with computer programs. After all, he had run a studio that required a large number of computers, and various program problems would arise from time to time.

Xiao Jie can be said to have become a doctor through his long experience of illness.

If your computer configuration is not good enough and the game effects are set too high, it is easy to drop frames or even freeze.

On the contrary, even if the computer configuration is good, it may still get stuck if multiple programs are opened.

After all, computers have an upper limit on their operating capacity, and exceeding this limit will cause the computer to crash.

After hearing Chen Tianwen's description, he immediately came up with a plan. If this magic circle also has this computing power limit, then as long as he turns on more special effects and runs more programs, he should be able to cause the magic circle to overload and crash.

After hearing Xiao Jie's inference, Chen Tianwen was stunned.

Wen Tian Wu Ji: Well, your idea is really good. I can't say it's not feasible, but I can't estimate how high the calculation power of this immortal's magic array is. Generally speaking, the scale of the magic array cannot be too large. At least if I were to set it up, it would be at most the size of a football field.

But looking at the photos you gave me, the scale of this magic circle seems a bit beyond the ordinary. I'm afraid the magical power of the immortal cannot be estimated by common sense.

Yin Yue Sui Feng: Don't be afraid of that. The bigger the magic circle is, the more mana it requires. According to your understanding, what are the 'programs' that consume a lot of computing power?

Wentian Wuji: Generally speaking, the basic function of trapping people in a magic circle does not consume too much mana. Illusions look earth-shattering, but they often do not require much mana. But this rain-summoning spell seems to be a big consumer.

As he spoke, Chen Tianwen gave Xiao Jie some more basic knowledge.

In order for this magic circle to produce various effects, it naturally requires energy. The arrangement of magic circle in cultivating immortals also requires materialism. Without energy, it is useless to just set up a few flags and draw a few talismans.

The energy could be a spell cast by the person who set up the formation, but this could only be used as an emergency measure. Since this formation has lasted for thousands of years, it is unlikely to be this kind of spell.

The second way is to make use of natural forces such as the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the five elements, feng shui, the light of the sun and the moon. The person who sets up the formation will guide these forces into the formation to maintain its operation.

Since this magic array is set up in the forest, it is most likely a change in the mutual generation and restraint of the five elements.

Forest belongs to wood, water produces wood, and the energy consumption of this rain-calling technique mostly comes from this.

But since there is no river passing through this forest, the consumption of the rain-calling spell must call upon the power of the magic circle itself.

After listening to Chen Tianwen's analysis, Xiao Jie suddenly felt more confident.

In this way, all you have to do is light as many fire points as possible at the same time and keep the fire extinguishing function of the magic circle activated.

Don’t you believe that the magic circle set up by the immortal for thousands of years can generate rain-summoning spells out of thin air as many times as you want?

The more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. He said goodbye to Chen Tian and turned back to the game.

Walking out of the wooden house, the old man lay in the open space to bask in the sun.

"Are you sulking, little brother? Haha, don't be discouraged. We have plenty of time. Just try slowly. Sooner or later, you will give up completely like me. Then we can keep each other company.

Speaking of which, have there been any major events in the martial arts world in recent years? Well, don’t tell me yet. When you are done with your work, tell me all together.”

Xiao Jie ignored the old man's mumbling and said, "I think I have found a way to crack it."

"Haha, then tell me about it." The old man had a cheerful expression.

“Have you ever tried to light dozens of trees on fire at once?”

The old man was stunned. "That's not the case. Since lighting one tree is useless, what difference does it make to light dozens of trees?"

"Hey, that's a huge difference. How can a person carrying 100 kilograms be the same as carrying 1,000 kilograms?"

"How can the magic of immortals be judged by human strength?"

"Hahaha, what's wrong with that? Immortals are also human. No matter how powerful their magic is, it has its limits. Otherwise, why would immortals go into seclusion? It shows that there are many things that even immortals cannot do in this world.

Just like trapping me - I have seen through the mystery of this magic circle, it is a mysterious magic circle, and a small rain-summoning magic circle is set in it, but there are no rivers or streams here, so this magic circle is like rootless water, and its power is limited. As long as a dozen fires are lit at the same time, it will be enough to make this magic circle too busy, and then it will naturally reveal its flaws. "

Xiao Jie was talking nonsense, and the old man was stunned. Xiao Jie continued: "Old man, I just want to ask you if you want to leave."

“I dream about it.”

"You're free anyway, why not try my method?"

The old man showed a struggling expression on his face, "Forget it, tell me what to do."

Xiao Jie threw a hatchet to him.

"Of course, I'll chop wood first."

"Chopping wood? How much wood?"

"A lot, a lot." Xiao Jie said as he equipped himself with a crescent-shaped sword and prepared to start.

Three hours later.

Looking at the dozens of bundles of firewood in his backpack, and then looking at the dozens of bundles of wood piled in the old man's yard, Xiao Jie nodded secretly. Should this be enough?
"My method is very simple. The magic power of immortals is not infinite. Especially since this magic array has been around for thousands of years, it will definitely prioritize its own existence. So it will definitely do its best to put out the fire, as long as there are enough fires lit at the same time, so many that the magic array cannot put out all of them at the same time.

It needs to mobilize forces from other areas to recruit more people.

In other words, by then its illusion-confusing function will weaken or even disappear, and we can take this opportunity to escape at the same time."

Xiao Jie then traded a torch, two gunpowder pots, and two kerosene pots to the old man.

"I brought these with me. We only have one chance, so we must succeed. Follow my plan, and light the fire when I yell."

In order to make the magic circle crash, the most flames must be ignited in the shortest time. Once the time is dragged on, the magic circle can naturally extinguish the fires one by one.

Fortunately, he brought enough supplies when he set out, including five kerosene bottles and five gunpowder bottles.

I was just prepared for any eventuality, but I didn't expect it would actually come in handy.

The two men first dispersed the firewood and piled it around a dozen pine trees, with a distance of at least fifty meters between each tree. The entire hermit village was almost covered by fire spots.

Fortunately, as long as you don’t leave the hermit village too far, you won’t be confused by the magic circle.

Then the two of them stood at a diagonal position each, and Xiao Jie summoned Xiong Da as well.

"Big Xiong, run south, as far as you can!"

Big Bear roared, turned around and ran into the woods.

Big Bear is also a living being. Once it runs into the woods, the magic circle will certainly confuse it. Although the magic circle does not consume much power due to illusion, at this time, it is good not to consume any extra magic power.

Seeing that Big Bear had run far away, Xiao Jie switched his martial arts to the Tiger Roaring Technique and suddenly used his combat skill - Shocking Roar!
Roar!
There was a roar and a growl that spread far away, so much so that an old man at the other end of the village could hear it clearly.

Xiao Jie lit the fire in front of him without hesitation, then immediately summoned his mount and rushed towards the next fire. Because it was lit by a torch, the fire did not burn that fast. By the time the fire gradually burned and dark clouds gathered in the sky, Xiao Jie had already rushed to the next pine tree.

Without getting off his horse, Xiao Jie threw a kettle of kerosene at him, and flames instantly started.

At the same time, heavy rain began to fall above the first fire tree.

This magic circle reacts really quickly, Xiao Jie thought helplessly, and without hesitation, he rushed to the next pile of firewood. Boom! Another tree was set on fire.

Boom! On the other side of the village in the distance, dark clouds also gathered, thunder sounded, and heavy rain fell.

Xiao Jie kept running to light the fire, and the old man also ran as hard as he could, using his old arms and legs to the extreme. The fires around the village were lit one after another, and dark clouds continued to gather in the sky, one group after another.

When the twelfth cloud gathered, there was a rumble of thunder, but no cloud appeared.

Apparently there's no water.

Hahaha, there's hope! Xiao Jie was so excited that he threw out the last powder pot.

As the flames rose, thunder sounded in the sky again, but it was as thin as a speaker that had lost power, and there was no trace of dark clouds or heavy rain.

Xiao Jie rushed towards the next fire while staring at his surroundings.

Suddenly, my eyes blurred and I looked around. There were no more hills, strange rocks, or dangerous ditches. There was only a flat pine forest.

The flames continued to burn and the thunder in the sky was intermittent.

Xiao Jie knew that this was the magic circle trying to restart, and it wouldn't take too long, so he had to hurry.

He turned his horse around and shouted to the old man, "Old man, the time has come, follow me!"

"This is the right way!" the old man shouted, pointing to the southeast.

"You want to run?"

The old man smiled bitterly and said, "If you don't run, what are you waiting for? I have finally figured it out. The immortal treasure is not as important as my own life. I am already at this age. I don't have the energy to look for the immortal treasure. I just want to leave this damn place alive.

Little brother, meeting is fate, let's say goodbye now, if we are destined to meet again in the future." After saying this, he turned around and fled into the distance, his speed was not much less than that of a galloping horse.

Xiao Jie thought to himself, fuck, you haven’t even told me where you live, I don’t even know your name, are you trying to default on your debt?

But Xiao Jie did not dare to hesitate. Who knew how long this magic circle would be down? He rode his horse and galloped towards the northwest.

five minutes later--

Xiao Jie's eyes suddenly opened up, and he finally rushed out of the pine forest. A group of strange mountains and ridges suddenly came into view, which was none other than Konglao Mountain.

Hahahaha, it’s finally out!
When he turned around again, he was stunned. There was no pine forest behind him, but only a hundred or so sparsely planted pine trees growing on a slope.

A few wisps of green smoke rose from the forest and then disappeared.

Xiao Jie couldn't help but be stunned. Is this... is this the method of an immortal? Dozens of trees trapped him for a whole day?

The old man has been trapped for more than 30 years... It's quite magical. If I could learn such a method, it would be amazing.

Next, let’s see what other tricks you have.

Xiao Jie stopped reminiscing and turned to look at the Konglao Mountain in front of him.

What a wonderful mountain it was, with towering peaks and crisscrossing mountains all around, and many exotic plants and flowers, withered vines and old trees on the mountain. What surprised him most was that there was a ridge on the front of the mountain, which had somehow been cut off, forming a flat and smooth stone wall, which was seventy or eighty meters high and more than a hundred meters wide. From a distance, it looked as if someone had cut off a piece of the mountain with a sword.

There was a black spot on the smooth stone wall. When Xiao Jie got closer, he could see clearly that it was a cave embedded in the stone wall!
That’s right, between the smooth mountain walls, there was an entrance to a cave, and it was pitch black inside and no one knew where it led to.

There are two lines of words engraved on the stone walls on both sides of the cave entrance.

The left row: Cultivating the true nature in Konglao Mountain.

The row on the right: Enlightenment of immortality in Tianpu Cave.

Although it was not stated explicitly, Xiao Jie had a feeling that this must be the cave where immortals lived.

Could it be that the second test is to climb the mountain?

Isn't that too simple?

If it were someone else, it might be a bit troublesome, but I know how to climb mountains.

Xiao Jie walked to the bottom of the stone wall without saying a word and started climbing directly.

I climb!

System prompt: Climbing failed. [Mountain Climbing] cannot be used on the current terrain.

Huh? What the hell, isn't this a mountain? Why can't I climb it?
Xiao Jie tried several more times, but all failed without exception.

He took a few steps back, studied it carefully, and roughly found the reason.

Although this mountain climbing technique can be used to climb steep cliffs, it still needs to use the protrusions of the cliff to gain leverage. The cliff in front of him is as smooth as a mirror and there is no fulcrum at all. Even if a goat came, it would be useless, let alone this pirated version.

Oh my goodness, this is not good. It's a pity that there are no geckos in this game, otherwise I could learn a skill like gecko wall-climbing...

Since I can't climb, let's try Qinggong.

Xiao Jie found the right distance and suddenly took off into the air.

Flying clouds chase the moon - rise up with the wind!

He jumped twelve or thirteen meters high in an instant.

Feiyundu! He did a somersault in the air and soared up again, another twelve or thirteen meters.

However, it was still twenty or thirty meters away from the cave entrance.

The third part was an aerial sprint, and he could only pull himself up a little bit. Xiao Jie rushed forward suddenly, but was still far from it.

Even though Xiao Jie activated the Flying Goose Kung Fu and doubled the effect of his lightness skill, he still only managed to jump to a height of 26 meters, which was still some distance away from the entrance of the cave.

When he tried to jump again, he had already exhausted all his strength and began to fall.

After falling back to the ground, Xiao Jie was in trouble.

I can’t climb up, and I can’t jump up. What should I do?
After thinking about it, I thought, why bother fighting against a mountain wall? I can just climb to the top of the mountain from both sides and then jump down from the top.

Thinking of this, Xiao Jie turned and left.

I walked along the stone wall to the right for a while, and turned around - huh? I was facing the same stone wall, and the cave was right above my head.

I walked to the left and turned around. Damn, it didn’t change!
No matter which way he walked, the mountain wall was always facing him.

Xiao Jie thought, coming again?

It must be the same space-changing spell that appeared in the pine forest before. Ordinary people would be helpless if they encountered this thing.

It seems that the immortal will force him to climb up this stone wall before he can pass the level. This is a bit difficult.
