Yuanze Mainland

Chapter 88 What's wrong with me being short-staffed!
"Clap."

When Ye Fanyin moved the last stone to the position requested by Taotie, the surrounding lush scenery suddenly changed!
It was as if the picture scroll was lit from below, and there were raging flames all around, but Ye Fanyin in the flames couldn't feel any heat. These flames seemed to be just illusions.

In just a few breaths, those flames burned down all the scenery!
However, after the flames, the ground was not scorched black as imagined, but a piece of yellow sand filled the air.

It is desert.

After the flames, the woods and the grass turned into a desert in an instant!
Standing in the yellow sand, Ye Fanyin had a look of surprise in her eyes. She knelt down and grabbed a handful of sand, letting it fall with the wind.

The roughness of the sand grains, the burning sensation of the sun in the sky, the dryness of the surrounding air...

Everything is too real!
"It's all an illusion."

Just when Ye Fanyin was amazed, Taotie opened his mouth. It looked around and said, "From the moment you enter here, everything you see is an illusion."

"This illusion... is too real!" Ye Fanyin murmured.

"The phantom formations in the advanced formations are all like this. It's not a big deal. When you practice to a certain level, you will find that the phantom formations here are full of loopholes. Some phantoms are called realistic. In the vast space There may only be a small loophole like the eye of a needle, and the loophole can be shifted at any time! Some people stay in those illusions until they die, and they can't find the exit!"

Taotie said with a serious face: "This is also the reason why the formation master is stronger than the alchemist and the weapon refiner. There are still traces of the latter two killing people. clue!"

Hearing this, Ye Fanyin swallowed in fear, and he was even more determined to learn the formation all the way.

Immediately afterwards, she got back to the topic, and she asked: "You said just now that the formation we are in is very urgent - what does that mean? Will the formation also have human emotions?"

"Some will have emotions. After all, things like array spirits should still exist in the world."

Taotie replied casually: "It's just that the 'urgency' I mentioned about this formation is not an emotion, but an instinct."

"Oh?" Ye Fanyin asked curiously, "How do you say it?"

"All formations need power to maintain. Generally, they are used to maintain the operation of the formation. Either the formation master himself inputs Yuanli, or inlays some Yuanling stones to maintain it. What's more, some evil formation masters with ill-intentions They will directly catch living people and 'kidnap' them to the formation, and let the formation draw endlessly the energy of those people to maintain the formation!" Taotie frowned in disgust at the end, obviously , it hates this kind of insane behavior.

"Then which type of formation does this belong to?" Ye Fanyin asked.

"Probably the second or third type. After all, it is rumored that this formation known as the Valley of Devourers will move once a year. How can a formation mage travel around every year for a formation? It is likely to be Rely on external force to maintain the formation."

Taotie said, "It's just that when these external forces are exhausted, some high-level formations will awaken a kind of 'instinct', and they will devour all kinds of things that are beneficial to them to maintain their own operation. Ordinary stones are needed, some need precious metals, and others can swallow some flowers and plants. Otherwise, once they stop functioning, they are equivalent to death. There are very few advanced formations for awakening instincts. , is also considered rare."

When Ye Fanyin heard the last sentence, she rolled her eyes and said, "So this Human Devouring Valley is a phantom array with awakened instincts, and the external force that keeps it running is life?"

"Rather than life, it's better to say flesh and blood." Taotie said, "It's just that no matter what kind of formation has awakened instinct, it will be limited by the formation master who created it and the mission entrusted to it."

"Mission?" Ye Fanyin was a little surprised when he heard the words, "What does this mean?"

"For example, if I create a formation that specializes in killing people, then 'killing' is the mission I gave it. All its instincts are below the mission. Unless it kills people, it must not be followed. Its instinct devours that person." Taotie explained.

When Ye Fanyin heard the words, she immediately understood, and then she looked at the realistic illusion thoughtfully, and then asked: "Then what is the 'mission' of this formation?"

"Not too clear yet." Taotie shook his head, "Let's find the formation eye leading to the next level of illusion first, you can only go out after breaking all the illusion, as for the mission here, it is secondary."

"Yeah." Ye Fanyin also knew that Taotie was telling the truth. She had injuries on her body, and if she didn't receive treatment, she might have serious sequelae on her left shoulder. The most important thing was to get out of here as soon as possible!
Following Taotie's guidance, he walked in the yellow sand, sometimes taking three steps forward and five steps back, and sometimes walking forward for 200 meters without stopping. Taotie seemed to be able to follow certain rules.

After walking for a while, Taotie suddenly sighed: "Ye Fanyin, according to what you said, no one in Baicao City came out of the Valley of Devourers, so will the Ye family think you are dead? Will you tell your sister the news?" ? If so..."

Is your sister going crazy?
"They must think I'm dead." A cold look flashed in Ye Fanyin's eyes, and then he calmed down, "But it's good for me too. But they won't tell my sister about it. The only thing that worries me is whether they know I know that my sister is also very aware of their dirty thoughts!"

Hearing this, Taotie's expression was a bit serious, and he couldn't help speeding up his pace. Whether it was for Ye Fanyin or Ye Yinghuo, he had to get out of this illusion quickly!

……

"arrive!"

After about a quarter of an hour, Taotie finally stopped.

At this time, Ye Fanyin was sweating profusely from the sun in the illusion. She looked around and couldn't help but asked in a daze: "Is this different from the place we just appeared?"

Isn't it all a piece of yellow sand?

Taotie looked at Ye Fanyin with the eyes of a fool, then sighed resentfully, and said, "Ye Fanyin, after you go out, you should learn the relevant knowledge from this teacher."

After saying that, Taotie suddenly raised his little paw, and stuck one paw into the sand. That ancient well's calm appearance really looks like a humble master of concealment!
Seeing this, Ye Fanyin stared at Taotie expectantly.

However, after about ten seconds passed, Taotie suddenly withdrew his claws silently, and there was still no change in the surrounding area.

Ye Fanyin: "???"

Taotie coughed in embarrassment, took a step back suddenly, made a "please" gesture to Ye Fanyin, and then stammered: "I, my hands are too short to touch the eyes below, Ye Fanyin Sanskrit, you come, you come..."

Ye Fanyin: "..."
