Chapter 436 The Thief is in Front of You
Ding Huan entered his own field, where there was already planted fairy rice.
These fairy rices are all withered and yellow, without any ears, and exude a dead air.
It seems that there is indeed a problem. There is still one month left before the rice is delivered. It would be strange if rice could be produced under such circumstances.
Ding Huan didn't care. He first set up a second-level defensive fairy formation and a second-level shielding fairy formation outside his field.
A huge monitoring array was set up outside the second-level fairy array, and there was also a formation screen under the monitoring array.
The array screen read: I am now fully committed to growing fairy rice. Any losses caused by anyone knocking on the array will be borne solely by the person who knocks on the array.
Ding Huan was sure that after writing this line of words, no one would dare to break his forbidden formation here.
Inside the second-level immortal formation, Ding Huan also set up a fifth-level void trigger immortal formation and a fifth-level void defense immortal formation.
He came here to practice, but didn't want to be killed by someone who sneaked in.
After all the fairy defense formations were set up, Ding Huan opened the fairy rice.
Each grain of this kind of rice is more than an inch long. When you peel it open, you will see a light green inside. Even though it has not been cooked yet, the light fragrance permeates through, making people feel relaxed as soon as they smell it.
It's indeed a good thing.
This is still low-grade fairy rice. If it were high-grade fairy rice, wouldn’t it be better?
After throwing the fairy rice into the cave, Ding Huan came to the ridges of the fields to check the fairy rice that had turned yellow and were about to die.
If he could save it, he would save it. If he couldn't, he would just raze it and plant new rice.
He has limited time and must complete the rice planting process as quickly as possible.
From the introduction of the Fairy Rice he got, he knew that this kind of rice was not rice. Although it also required water, it did not need to be put into water during the planting process.
Ding Huan's finger fell on a withered rice plant, and he immediately felt the breath of the devouring law.
Ding Huan frowned. Was this caused by pests or by incomplete laws?
Generally, only those caused by pests have the aura of the Devouring Law.
He carefully constructed a great cosmic magic circle, and then he could sense all the fluctuations of the laws of this rice plant.
In Ding Huan's opinion, this kind of rice withered before it took shape, and 99% of the time it was caused by insect pests or lack of laws.
The lack of fairy plant laws means that ordinary fairy plant growers are basically hopeless.
No matter how strong your cultivation is or how thorough your understanding of the laws is, you cannot casually use the laws on fairy plants.
However, for Ding Huan, this is the simplest question.
His great cosmic art is the cradle of laws. It can not only collect laws, but also condense new laws, strip away laws, and even disintegrate laws...
In Ding Huan's eyes, his great cosmic art is the first law in the vastness.
What he didn't expect was that his guess this time was completely wrong.
The reason why the rice is withering is that its vitality is being slowly consumed.
Ding Huan was very confused. This was the deepest part of the Xiannong Department. It could be said to be a place with layers of protection. Who would dare to devour the vitality of the Xianling rice here?
Is this courting death? Or is this courting death?
After a few more cycles, Ding Huan was sure that he was not mistaken, but his vitality was being devoured.
Moreover, the vitality of the fairy rice was devoured in a very secretive manner, and on the surface it looked like a lack of wood attribute laws.
This kind of wood attribute law is scarce. If you want to grow fairy plants, you need to get a large amount of wood attribute treasures.
As you can imagine this is basically impossible.
Any wood-attributed treasure is extremely valuable. Even if it can be used for treatment, it can only save a few plants of fairy rice.
No one would use a high-grade immortal crystal to cultivate a low-grade immortal crystal. Besides, the time tree would be too late.
This must be man-made. Otherwise, the vitality being devoured is the vitality being devoured, and it would not be hidden so that it would appear on the surface to be caused by the lack of wood attribute laws.
There are really people who are seeking death.
Ding Huan sighed helplessly. Couldn't he just find a quiet place to practice?
If we find the source, wouldn't that offend people again?
How could someone who could hide here and devour the vitality of the fairy rice be a simple person?
If he finds the other party, he will be asking for trouble.
Even though he knew he couldn't find this guy, Ding Huan knew he had to find him.
Otherwise he would be dead. If he had known this was the problem, he would definitely not have come to be a fairy official. It's too late now.
Ding Huan calmed himself down and tried to get through the current problem first.
He was 100% sure that he could not leave the Xiannong Department now.
Ding Huan first set up a spirit gathering formation for his fairy rice field, and then began to think of a plan.
He is currently unable to transform into another species, otherwise, he could simply transform into an ant, and then follow the location where the life force is being devoured, and he would always be able to find the source.
Using his great cosmic arts and Tiangang Taoism together would definitely allow him to merge into one with the surrounding space.
Ding Huan felt that this was safer than transforming into an ant.
No matter how small an ant is, it still has a physical form.
When it gets dark, he uses the art of hiding.
The art of concealment is just a joke in the eyes of the strong.
Ding Huan is different. After hiding, he can make his breath completely blend into the surrounding space.
Unless you know that he is hiding here, otherwise, you will just ignore him if you scan him with your divine sense.
If he hides himself like this, then his concealment technique is just a superficial Taoist technique.
What really allowed him to hide was the means of the Great Universe and Tiangang Taoism, integrating himself into all the laws of space and transforming himself into the aura of the laws therein.
It was getting dark, and Ding Huan had just set up a spirit-gathering formation on his ridges when his great cosmic magic sensed a breath of energy that was consuming life.
After Ding Huan set up a teleportation array, he immediately hid his body and left his field.
As soon as he came out, Ding Huan completely merged into the surrounding space. At this moment, as long as he didn't move or make a sound, there would not be any abruptness.
It only took a stick of incense for Ding Huan to stop.
He looked at the lake with some surprise and uncertainty.
This lake can be said to be used by the Immortal Agriculture Department to irrigate the fairy plants on the fields. A fairy vein is also implanted in the center of the lake, and the lake water is full of fairy spirit.
What's weird is that now he feels that the source of the fairy rice that is devoured comes from this lake.
Do you want to go in?
Ding Huan only thought about it for a moment and decided to go in.
He was in the game and had no way out.
Taking a deep breath, Ding Huan sank into the lake.
After entering the lake, Ding Huan's body seemed to have turned into the lake water, and his entire body was completely consistent with the aura of the lake water.
Two hours later, Ding Huan stopped.
In front of him was a huge concealment formation, which was definitely a seventh-level immortal formation. Ding Huan could not break it.
Inside the concealment array is the Narcissus Avoidance Array, which is also a level higher than the fifth-level fairy array.
Ding Huan was helpless. He stood outside the formation and stared at this hidden formation.
He is a master of the fifth-level immortal formation, so it is not impossible for him to enter the seventh-level immortal formation.
But that takes time and strength.
He cannot stand in the open now. As soon as he takes action, even if a flag is thrown down, it will alert the guys inside.
It is certain that within this hidden immortal formation, there are also defensive immortal formations and trapping and killing immortal formations.
Once he was locked in the killing formation, he could only wait for death.
Alas, his level of formation skills is still not good enough. If his level of formation skills were stronger, he would be able to break into the formation directly.
After struggling for a long time, Ding Huan could only use the void array pattern to set up a level 5 monitoring fairy array outside.
Once the monitoring fairy formation is discovered, he will immediately destroy it.
This was the most difficult void monitoring fairy formation that Ding Huan had ever set up. Not only could he not produce any life, he couldn't even have any fluctuations in breath.
That’s not all. The aura of the Dao rhyme and laws of the monitoring immortal formation he set up must be completely consistent with the aura of the laws in this lake.
A slight difference could be noticed.
With his current strength, if someone discovers it, he will be dead.
Normally, Ding Huan can complete a void array monitoring fairy array with just a wave of his hand.
It took Ding Huan an hour and a half to set up this underwater monitoring formation, and he finally completed it.
Although there were still some aspects that were not satisfactory, Ding Huan did not dare to delay any longer.
He backed out carefully.
After returning to his cave in the field, Ding Huan let out a long sigh. He didn't dare to rest yet and could only stare at his surveillance array.
After a whole day passed, Ding Huan discovered from the monitoring array that the hidden array was finally opened.
What caught my eye was actually a fairy plant with only one fruit. The fairy plant was about seven feet tall and had five leaves.
Although he couldn't smell anything, Ding Huan could feel a resonance in the soul through the monitoring fairy formation.
This is definitely not an ordinary fairy fruit, but a top-level treasure. It looks like it will not be worse than the law fruit he had used before.
A man with a sage-like appearance came out. He frowned slightly and sighed:
"The Immortal Agriculture Department really has a bunch of idiots. The immortal rice is dead, so replant it quickly. Do you want me to move to another place?"
Only after this guy went far away did Ding Huan quickly destroy his surveillance array and put away the crystal ball.
He recorded everything that happened just now. As long as this guy doesn't bother him, he won't care.
Judging from this guy's cultivation level, it should be quite high. It would be better for him to avoid meeting this guy.
The problem was found, and Ding Huan began to set up a formation to block the immortals.
He couldn't destroy the source, but it was still easy for him to prevent the vitality of the fairy rice in his fields from being absorbed.
This is because he doesn't want to offend anyone, otherwise, he will directly integrate some poison laws into the vitality of the fairy rice, and he guarantees that the fairy fruit that guy cultivated here will die.
In order to survive, Ding Huan didn't even dare to set up a life-blocking immortal formation.
He was worried that the other party would know that he had seen the problem, so he could only set up some rules to block the fairy formation.
Through these laws, the fairy formation is blocked to prevent the vitality of the fairy rice from being absorbed.
(Good night, fellow Taoists!)
