Chapter 464: Ten Directions Formation, Meeting an Old Friend Again

Speak of the devil and he will appear. Just as Xiao Jie was thinking about sharing some good things with Wentian Wuji, a private message appeared on the screen.

Wentian Wuji: Are you there, Xiao Jie? Are you free?

Hidden Moon Follows the Wind: Yes.

Wentian Wuji: I have something to talk to you about.

Half an hour later——outside Qiansong City:
Xiao Jie flew over the vast snowfields and forests, overlooking the vast northern wilderness below. The map of Beiming Province had a unique sad atmosphere that made Xiao Jie inevitably immersed in it.

The rough and primitive outline of Qiansong City can be seen from afar, but now the outside of the city is no longer desolate, but has many other things.

At this moment, the area outside Qiansong City has become a huge construction site. Countless craftsmen and soldiers are building some kind of defense system. There are blockhouses everywhere, crisscrossing ditches, and endless camps.

In the vast wilderness outside the construction site, there are recently refreshed wild monster groups everywhere - Imperial patrols, magic soldier regiments, legion deserters, wandering giants...

These wild monsters have only appeared recently, probably due to the development of the plot and the changes caused by the dynamics of the monster forces.

For example, when the Giant King was killed, many wandering giants appeared, and all of them escaped from the front line in the game background.

The Imperial Patrol is a patrol force sent out by the New Imperial Army.

At this moment, there are countless teams of players, some with dozens of people, and some with three or five people, who are busy killing monsters.

Considering the upcoming war, Qiansong City has become the most popular monster spawning map in the entire game. Not only is the drop rate extremely high due to the version activities, but it also allows for advance reconnaissance of the upcoming war.

Xiao Jie saw several teams composed of high-end players in their 30s, which were obviously investigation teams sent by major guilds.

The Imperial Army's construction site was in full swing and on high alert, but not far away in the periphery, countless players were fighting with all kinds of wild monsters. It was a magical scene.

Xiao Jie slowly landed on the top of a mountain and turned back into human form.

Not far away, Wentian Wuji was standing on the edge of the cliff, looking at the huge construction site in the distance.

"Are you here to scout the enemy?" Xiao Jie asked casually.

Wen Tian Wuji said: "Of course, as the saying goes, knowing yourself and the enemy ensures victory in a hundred battles. War is first fought with information. Now that I have to rely on the alliance army to obtain the ascension items, I must naturally fulfill my duties and help them win this battle. Besides, I just received a reconnaissance mission from the governor, and the reward is quite good. It's a good opportunity to make some extra money."

"Ha, you finally got what you paid for. By the way, this thing is for you." Xiao Jie said as he traded the Blood Spirit Fruit to him.

Chen Tianwen was a little surprised when he took it. This is a good thing... "Thank you."

"Why are you being so polite? By the way, did you gain any results from your investigation?"

Chen Tianwen answered the question irrelevantly, "Look at the New Imperial Army, what are they doing?"

Xiao Jie looked in the direction of Qiansong City. The construction site was huge, but it did not look like an ordinary camp. There were many passages connecting it, leading to all directions, but there was a certain pattern. The camps were distributed in it, forming a system of its own, and the ditches were like a chessboard, with a network crisscrossing.

"Are they building a formation?" Xiao Jie asked tentatively. However, if it was a formation, the scale would be a bit exaggerated.

Chen Tianwen had also set up formations, but they were usually only about a hundred meters in radius. Even the Qiankun Shifting Formation was only a thousand meters in radius.

The formation before us stretches for more than ten miles and is extremely complex. It is hard to imagine what effect such a formation will have when it is activated.

"Yes, it is a formation, but I still can't figure out the origin of this formation. It seems that there are many experts in the New Empire Army. The fact that I can't understand it must be the work of Wang Xie."

Although Chen Tianwen spoke in a powerful tone, his voice was quite relaxed, as if he didn't care at all.

Xiao Jie was very curious about this so-called formation. In historical novels, there were often plots about setting up and breaking formations, but he had no specific concept of what this so-called formation was.

Now it's quite interesting.

This formation is obviously completely different from the simple illusion formation that Chen Tianwen usually sets up. Its scale alone is staggering. It will definitely need to be used in conjunction with a large army. I don’t know what effect this formation will have. Just thinking about it makes me excited.

"Is this formation powerful?"

"Of course it's powerful. If the allied forces attack rashly, they will suffer heavy casualties and be defeated here."

"The Alliance Army now has more than 100,000 troops and so many experts. It shouldn't be that serious, right?"

Xiao Jie thought, what about formations? Could it be that those real people don't understand them?

“No, those masters may understand ordinary magic arrays, but they may not know much about this killing array.

As for the advantage in military strength, it is meaningless in front of the formation. Look at the three armies of 150,000 soldiers and the three world bosses. Weren't they destroyed in one day? The way of the formation is to isolate the enemy, destroy the enemy's formation, and then defeat them one by one.

Besides, there are still many things in this formation that I cannot understand. There must be some hidden killer moves. If I rush in rashly, as many people as I go will die."

Xiao Jieqi asked, "What should we do then?"

"It doesn't matter. I have studied mathematics and derived all things. I have made many deductions in recent days. All future changes are under my control. Although this formation is powerful, it will not harm the overall situation."

Chen Tianwen's tone was full of confidence, and he had a sense of heroism that made people unable to help but believe him.

Xiao Jie was grumbling in his heart, "But Brother Tianwen, didn't you say before that your divination ability can only partially predict the future?"

"That's right, but I can combine the known information in reality, deduce and judge it, and combine it with my divination skills. It's not difficult to calculate what will happen in the future. Come on, Xiao Jie, let's go in and take a closer look."

As he said that, he walked straight down the mountain. Xiao Jie followed him immediately. He became curious about the interior of this formation.

Along the way, there were players teaming up to kill monsters everywhere, fighting hard with groups of wild monsters.

"There are so many people!" Xiao Jie sighed.

"The information about the three previous wars has spread. Everyone knows that participating in such activities can earn experience points and equipment. The key is that there are NPC troops in the front, so there is no danger. Moreover, as long as the morale collapses, you can beat the enemy who is down and take advantage of the damage for free.

In the previous battles, many player teams obtained the right to pick up items from the leader-level BOSS, and reaped great rewards.

This time, for the final battle, I’m afraid all the players in the game will come running.

These demon soldiers and new imperial troops that spawned in the wild were perfect for training and familiarizing ourselves with the enemy, so naturally a lot of people came.”

The two of them walked through the wide leveling area and soon arrived near the unfinished formation.

It won't be so easy to go further forward. There are defenders all around the formation. These soldiers of the New Imperial Army are all red names, and they will be attacked if they get close.

Moreover, due to the linkage of hatred, other units will be summoned once attacked, so it is not realistic to clear all the monsters in. However, Wentian Wuji was well prepared.

Lock onto a new Imperial Army spearman and chain a few seals.

Say in your mouth - "Change!"

With a puff, white smoke flashed on his body, and he turned into the exact same appearance as that of the spearman.

Xiao Jie was a little surprised. "Hey, you're good at this. What skill is that?"

"It's just a 'disapparition'."

Changing appearance? That's quite appropriate.

Phantom Pearl - Change!

Xiao Jie used his equipment skill, and white mist flashed on his body, transforming him into a soldier of the New Imperial Army.

The two looked at each other and nodded secretly - this teammate is quite reliable.

Then the two of them walked into the formation.

The perimeter of the formation has basically been completed, with many soldiers stationed there and some craftsmen doing finishing work.

After entering the construction site, Xiao Jie's understanding of this formation became more intuitive. It was indeed like a maze, going around in circles but with its own rules. Going around in circles, he felt dizzy.

Chen Tianwen observed and explained to Xiao Jie at the same time.

"Hey, I think I figured out something. This is not a large formation, but a group of formations composed of multiple different formations.

One, two, three... If I counted correctly, there should be ten large formations.

The arrays are interconnected, which is quite mysterious. It's quite interesting, quite interesting."

Although the words were spoken lightly, the tone gradually became solemn.

"By the way, you said before that you could predict what will happen in the future? Is that true?"

Chen Tianwen said calmly: "This is not difficult. You have also studied the chapter on humanity, so you should understand that the logic of human behavior is determined by human nature.

As long as you understand human nature, it is not difficult to predict other people's behavior.

Wang Xie's goal has never been to help Long Wushang succeed. His goal must be to pursue personal power and the truth, and Long Wushang is just his pawn. "

"how do you know?"

“Don’t forget, I also learned the chapter on humanity. I have seen those foolish Taoists, crazy Taoists, and evil Taoists. According to my observation, although these clones have different personalities, they can basically be divided into two types. One type wants to complete the mission given to them by the original body and believes that their existence is for this purpose.

The other type of clones, however, hate their own identities and regard their original bodies as their biggest enemy. They try every possible means to find themselves and escape the control of their original bodies. "

Xiao Jie nodded slightly, this is true.

The first type is more common, just like an ordinary NPC, while the second type feels weirder, as if intelligent awakening.

They would often give themselves a name, like the 'Feng Buqi' he knew before.

"So you think Wang Xie is the latter?"

“That’s right, Wang Xie absolutely hates his original body and wants to gain his own self. Only with such a clone can he become stronger by any means necessary and grow into a Level 58 demon in troubled times.

With Wang Xie's knowledge, it should be easy to guess that his true self must be an immortal, and his only chance to escape the control of his true self is to become an immortal."

Therefore, fighting for world domination is meaningless to him. His only purpose in helping Long Wushang is to become an immortal himself."

Xiao Jie nodded. Chen Tianwen’s speculation made sense.

"Then how can he become an immortal?"

“This is not important. What is important is that Wang Xie is not the only one who wants to become an immortal. Wang Xie’s goal is to become an immortal, but Shen Suan Tianmo’s goal is to obtain the ascension item—this ascension item may be in Long Wushang’s possession, or in Wang Xie’s possession. At least Shen Suan Tianmo must think so.

It is not easy to take down a world BOSS. Since I can calculate these, the God of Fortune must be able to calculate them as well. In this case, he will definitely choose to join forces with one to deal with the other. Long Wushang and Wang Xie are not in harmony with each other. They seem to be cooperating, but in fact they are using each other.

If the Demon God of Fortune wanted to intervene, he would either join forces with Long Wushang to plot against Wang Xie, or join forces with Wang Xie to plot against Long Wushang.

This is the Pantheon’s favorite way of doing things.”

As they were talking, the two of them came to the center of the formation, where security was extremely strict.

The formation system being laid out is also extremely complex. There is a circle of towering stone walls outside, which makes it look like a city was built on the spot.

The stone walls were not tightly connected, but were built in sections, leaving many gaps for entry and exit.

There were many strange runes carved on the stone wall.

Xiao Jie didn't care at first, as there were so many runes and spells in these magic circles that he couldn't understand. However, the runes on the stone wall made him look at them a few more times, because they looked familiar.

Xiao Jie looked at the runes on the surrounding walls and felt vaguely that he seemed to have seen some of them somewhere.

Chen Tianwen also looked at the formation in front of him with a solemn expression - he actually couldn't understand what the purpose of this formation was.

At this time, another group of people drove over from the city, and the two men hurriedly stood by the roadside, pretending to be on guard.

Then someone in the team said coldly, "You guys, hurry up and move these in. There must not be any mistakes in this Ascension Formation."

Xiao Jie sounded familiar with what he heard. He paused and looked behind him. He was stunned to find that the person giving the orders was actually an acquaintance.

Feng Buqi (demon): Level 42. HP: 3200.

It's him! This guy has leveled up very quickly. The last time I saw him, he was only level 28. And how come his profession has changed to a demon... It seems that he has joined Wang Xie.

Xiao Jie was feeling emotional, and suddenly an idea came to his mind. He remembered why the runes on the stone wall looked familiar.

That was clearly the rune on the magic talisman that I picked up in the Novice Village!
