Comprehension against the sky, creating the Five Thunders in the real world

Lin Beichen nodded slightly and said affirmatively: "Yes, I do have a way."

"Oh? What method?" Captain Li asked curiously.

Lin Beichen calmly explained: "We can find some 'stand-ins' to wade through the minefield, so that we can pass safely."

"Substitute? You mean we have to sacrifice others? I absolutely cannot accept this!" Captain Li objected immediately. In his team, everyone was a comrade as close as a brother, and he could not possibly let them go to die.

Lin Beichen sighed softly. It seemed that Captain Li had misunderstood what he meant. "When I say a substitute, I don't mean a real person," he clarified.

"What does that mean?" Captain Li frowned and asked in confusion.

"Have you heard of the ancient practice of sowing beans to create soldiers and cutting grass to make horses?" Lin Beichen asked in a guiding way.

Captain Li showed a puzzled expression, "Are you talking about the legendary story?"

Xia Luyao asked tentatively: "Do you want to use a similar method?"

"Yes," Lin Beichen nodded, "Although we can't really turn beans into soldiers, we can use the weeds here to make some scarecrows to help us step on landmines."

After hearing this, Captain Li sneered, "Have you read too many novels? We are on a mission now, not playing house." He scoffed at Lin Beichen's proposal, thinking it was a completely unrealistic fantasy.

However, Xia Luyao expressed her support for Lin Beichen's idea, "I believe in Lin Beichen. Since he proposed this plan, he must have his reasons." After that, she began to help Lin Beichen collect weeds.

Captain Li looked at Xia Luyao and other members of the Viper Special Forces who had joined the ranks of making scarecrows, and couldn't help but shook his head and sighed: "You are all crazy."

Soon, another team led by Long Chuzhi arrived. After learning that there was a minefield ahead, they were unable to move forward, so the two teams met up to discuss countermeasures.

When Captain Li told Long Chuzhi about Lin Beichen's "absurd" plan, Long Chuzhi unexpectedly expressed her willingness to wait and see the results. She had seen Lin Beichen's extraordinary abilities in previous missions, so she also had some expectations for his plan this time.

With the joint efforts of everyone, several scarecrows were soon made. Lin Beichen took out the talisman paper, bit his finger and drew the talisman on it, then pasted it on the face of the scarecrow and dripped a drop of blood on the forehead of each scarecrow.

What happened next stunned everyone.

Suddenly, the originally silent stone array was surrounded by a sudden sandstorm, dust flew everywhere, and the vision became blurred.

Then, dark lines seemed to surge between the stones, like veins, cleverly connecting each stone together to form an obscure formation diagram.

"Oh my God, what's going on?"

"Why is the wind around this Eight Formation so strong all of a sudden, but the surrounding trees are not moving at all?"

"Can this Eight Diagrams really transform on its own as the legend says?"

"Am I dazzled? This is too incredible, isn't it?"

The members of the Wolf King Special Forces witnessed this scene with their eyes wide open and faces filled with astonishment. They had never expected that these seemingly ordinary stones could produce such a bizarre scene.

Although the members of the Viper Special Forces were mentally prepared, the scene before them still shocked them.

Lin Beichen looked at the surprised expressions of the crowd and just smiled calmly: "This is just the beginning."

When those mercenaries step into the formation, a more dramatic scene will take place.

"What should we do next?" Xia Luyao asked Lin Beichen.

Lin Beichen smiled slightly and said calmly: "Let's retreat and let them break into the formation on their own."

So, the two special forces teams retreated in an orderly manner.

And ahead, the mercenaries were lurking in the dense grass.

"Jason, what's going on? Why haven't they made any movement for so long?" a mercenary asked his teammates through the communication headset.

The mercenary named Jason frowned and stared ahead with a serious expression: "I don't know, could they have escaped?"

They had been waiting here, waiting for the other side to take action, and then taking them down in one fell swoop. However, as time passed, the special forces did not move, which made them anxious.

"We can't wait any longer, we have to take the initiative." At this time, a mercenary named Bat suggested.

"No, they are special forces!" Jason firmly objected. He was not sure of winning in a head-on confrontation with the special forces.

"What are you afraid of? They don't have live ammunition now, so they are no match for us." Bat said disapprovingly.

Jason and the others hesitated for a moment, and felt that what the bat said made sense, so they decided to go forward and investigate together.

A dozen mercenaries moved forward cautiously, and suddenly, they spotted the figures of two special forces teams in front of them.

"There they are!" Jason exclaimed, and then a dozen mercenaries raised their guns and fired at the same time.

However, to their astonishment, not a single bullet hit the target. After the bullet was fired, it seemed to disappear into the endless void without even an echo.

"Damn it! How come I didn't hit any of them!" Jason cursed angrily, then waved his hand and a dozen mercenaries immediately rushed forward, trying to catch up with the special forces.

But after running a few steps, they suddenly found themselves in a completely unfamiliar world.

"What's going on? Everything around me has changed!"

"Are we seeing a ghost? What's going on here?"

"Oh my god, are we experiencing a paranormal event?"

"Where is this? Why is it like a sandstorm? Where are those special forces?" A dozen mercenaries were shocked by the scene before their eyes, and even began to wonder if they were hallucinating. They seemed to be caught in a whirlpool of wind and sand, and everything around them was blurry and they had lost their sense of direction.

Although they had been mercenaries for many years and had seen a lot, the sudden change before them still frightened them. It was too weird and too scary.

They tried to turn around and retreat, but to their dismay, they couldn't find their way back.

"What's going on? We just took two steps forward and it became like this? Why is it still like this when we go back?" the bat shouted anxiously.

They tried to retreat again and again, but surprisingly, they could not get rid of this strange scene. Even if they retreated ten or twenty steps, they still saw the suffocating sandstorm.

"Damn, are we really seeing a ghost?" a mercenary couldn't help but speak.

"Impossible, there are no ghosts in this world!" Jason asserted, and then a thought suddenly flashed through his mind, "I know! We may be trapped in an ancient oriental magic circle!"

Although he was a foreigner, he had always been interested in the ancient culture of China and had read relevant books. The situation they were facing was very similar to what was described in the book.

"What? Jason, do you know what you are talking about?" Bat asked in confusion, feeling unfamiliar with the term "Eastern Formation".

Jason said in a deep voice: "Of course I know. I once read a Chinese book called "The Story of the Three Kingdoms". It recorded an Eastern wizard named 'Zhuge' who could trap the enemy with a pile of stones so that they could not escape. The description in the book is exactly the same as our current situation!"

The other mercenaries were stunned. Is Chinese culture really so magical?

The bat paused and asked hesitantly, "Since you have read the book, do you know how we can get out?"

"How do I know this?" Jason shrugged helplessly. The ancient Chinese formations were unfathomable and mysterious. Although he had learned something from books, it would probably take a real oriental wizard to crack them. They, the mercenaries, tried various ways to escape, but the formation was like an unsolvable maze, leaving them completely lost.

At this moment, Lin Beichen and others were standing quietly outside the formation, observing the mercenaries who were running around like headless flies. The people in the formation could not see them, nor could they hear their voices, as if they were in two different worlds.

"Oh my God, this is unbelievable! They are really trapped!" Ma Hong widened his eyes and looked at everything in front of him, almost unable to believe his eyes.

Yu Fei was also stunned: "The legendary Eight Diagrams actually exists! It's amazing!"

Han Zhuan, who was usually calm, was also shocked at this moment. He turned to look at his teammates with an incredible look on his face: "Lin Beichen is really amazing!"

After hearing this, the Bison smiled, patted him on the shoulder and said, "I told you a long time ago, now you believe it!"

Although the members of the Viper Special Forces were also shocked by the Eight Diagrams, they were relatively calm because they had often witnessed Lin Beichen's magical operations. The members of the Wolf King Special Forces were completely dumbfounded, and even Long Chuzhi cast a strange look at Lin Beichen.

"Lin Beichen, who are you? How did you do this?" Long Chuzhi asked with a frown.

At the same time, Lin Beichen's ears kept ringing electronic prompts, and his faith value kept rising. He smiled calmly and said casually: "I am just an ordinary special forces soldier who knows a little bit of Taoist magic."

Everyone was speechless. How can you call this ordinary?
"Okay, now is not the time to discuss this." Lin Beichen's expression became serious. "We have to go in quickly and deal with these mercenaries according to the method I taught us!"

Everyone nodded in agreement. Although they didn't have live ammunition, they still had bayonets. Following Lin Beichen's instructions, they easily entered the Eight Arrays and saw the mercenaries who were still confused. Then, the members of the two special forces quickly stepped forward and subdued the mercenaries one by one with bayonets.

After dealing with these mercenaries, they quickly followed Lin Beichen's method to withdraw from the formation. Looking at the mercenaries lying on the ground, everyone's admiration for Lin Beichen increased a little more.

But this was not the time to explore, they had to evacuate quickly. Just as they were about to leave, gunshots suddenly came from behind them.

"It's the mercenaries' backup team!" Xia Luyao exclaimed.

Long Chuzhi made a prompt decision: "Let's split up and retreat, and find a way to get rid of them!"

So the two special forces quickly separated and evacuated, and the mercenaries also chased after them. Under the cover of the woods, the Viper Special Forces temporarily got rid of the pursuers. At this time, it suddenly rained in the sky, and Lin Beichen frowned as he looked at the rain.

"What's wrong, Lin Beichen?" Xia Luyao asked with concern.

Lin Beichen sighed: "The arrival of this rain is a bit strange." However, he did not have time to investigate further. Perhaps this rain could buy them some time to escape.

Lin Beichen was holding a bayonet, carving skillfully on the tree trunk. Xia Luyao looked at this scene, confused: "Lin Beichen, what are you doing?" Lin Beichen responded without raising his head: "I'm setting up the formation." After that, he moved to another tree and continued carving with the bayonet.

Although Xia Luyao didn't understand, she chose to remain silent out of trust in Lin Beichen. Lin Beichen left marks on eight trees in succession, each of which seemed so serious and focused.

At this time, the rain was getting heavier, and the soil became slippery and muddy. Xia Luyao looked at the mud on the ground and frowned: "It's raining, and the ground has become so muddy, won't our footprints expose our whereabouts?"

Lin Beichen smiled calmly: "It doesn't matter, it's better to leave footprints." After that, he deliberately stepped heavily next to the tree trunk with the scratches, leaving deep footprints, and then took two more steps, each step was firm and powerful.

The others looked at this scene, full of confusion. But Lin Beichen didn't have time to explain, he urged: "Quick, come and help step on the footprints." Although they were puzzled, they still did it.

When there were enough footprints, Lin Beichen shouted, "Hurry up, they are catching up." Upon hearing this, everyone immediately followed Lin Beichen and rushed away.

Not long after, the mercenaries arrived here and looked at the empty woods with confusion on their faces. "Where did they go?" the leader frowned and asked himself.

"Look! There are footprints!" A mercenary suddenly discovered footprints on the ground, and everyone quickly followed the footprints to chase.

However, as they went deeper into the woods, the rain became heavier and the fog thickened. They did not notice anything unusual and just followed the footprints.

Ten minutes later, the mercenaries began to notice something was wrong. "Leopard Head, we seem to have seen this tree before." One of them pointed at the tree in front of him.

Leopard Head looked around and indeed felt that the surrounding scenery was familiar. "We seem to be going in circles." He said in a deep voice.

"Is it a ghost wall?" a mercenary said in fear. Leopard Head frowned, and continued to lead the team forward, but in the end they returned to the starting point.

At the same time, the members of the Viper Special Forces had successfully gotten rid of the mercenaries and came to a hidden stronghold. The old Taoist couldn't help but ask Lin Beichen: "How did you get rid of those mercenaries?"

Lin Beichen explained with a smile: "I set up the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation." Everyone expressed their curiosity and confusion.

Xia Luyao thought for a moment and said, "Is the Eight-Gate Golden Lock Formation the same as the directional technique of Qimen Dunjia?" Lin Beichen nodded in appreciation of her insight and explained in detail the mystery and function of the Eight-Gate Golden Lock Formation. (End of this chapter)
