"What do you think he's doing?"

At a certain section of the defense line on Changyun Island, Chu Li looked at one of his monks with a puzzled look on his face.

The monk replied, "Since Inspector Lu left here, he has been provoking the enemies in the Blood River."

"Provocation?" Chu Li was even more confused.

"Yes, he patrolled along the edge of the island, slashing into the blood river with his sword, without stopping for a moment."

Chu Li was stunned, not understanding what Lu Ye was doing.

Although Lu Ye was strong, the enemy was hiding in the blood river. What effect would it have if he slashed into the blood river with a sword? It was probably not a provocation, but would waste his own strength.

"Are there any casualties among the enemy?" Chu Li asked again.

"No, his sword light didn't do much damage, and it didn't seem to mobilize much power."

“Strange…” Chu Li muttered, “Don’t worry about him for now. I’ll ask him in detail when he comes back.”

To be honest, he really couldn't figure out what Lu Ye was trying to do. Previously, he would rather do a business at a loss than sell the three treasures at once. Chu Li thought that he wanted to raise Dao fish for the war, but now it seems that this guy is completely squandering his own Dao power. What he did was thankless.

Even though he didn't mobilize much Taoist power each time he slashed, the frequent strikes would still cause huge consumption to himself.

Chu Li certainly didn't think that Lu Ye was crazy. Although the time they had contacted was short, Lu Ye didn't give him the impression of being stupid, so he must have had a purpose for doing this.

As for what the purpose is, perhaps only they themselves know.

At this time, Lu Ye had almost circled the island.

He didn't know how many thousand sword beams had been slashed out. Although the amount of Dao Power consumed each time was very small, the Dao Power consumed on his talent tree had reached nearly four million.

A small part of it is used to engrave Dao marks in the inner world, an even smaller part is consumed to activate the sword light, and the bulk of it is consumed in another way.

And this consumption is still continuing.

Just when Lu Ye was about to make another effort to circle the island, the inspection order on his waist suddenly vibrated.

He quickly picked up the probe and found that it was a message from Chu Li.

Lu Ye did not hesitate and flashed towards the defense line where the power was stored. Although the plan was a little deviant and he was ultimately unable to circle the island, there were basically no major problems.

This time he has made huge efforts without anyone knowing. If he still cannot succeed, it would be a huge loss.

After a while, Lu Ye returned.

Chu Li said solemnly: "The enemy is about to attack."

Xia He was standing next to Chu Li, also with a solemn look on her face. In addition to her, there were more than a dozen cultivators gathered here, full of murderous intent. Each of them had a heavy aura, and it was obvious that they had a high level of cultivation.

In the nearby formation group, many monks were on high alert.

Lu Ye turned his head and looked around, then said, "Brother Chu, do we need to join the battle formation to assist in the defense?"

Chu Li nodded and said, "Yes, your cultivation is quite good, so I need you to preside over a formation and cooperate with me to counterattack and intercept the enemy."

Someone clasped his fists and said, "Commander, just give the orders!"

The rest of the people said in unison: "We obey the commander's orders!"

"Okay." Chu Li nodded. "We have no control over other defense lines. Others will handle them. What we need to do is to guard our own defense line and never let the enemy get in."

Having said that, he began to make arrangements.

Following his arrangements, figures appeared one after another beside him, each performing their respective duties.

In the end, only Lu Ye was left.

Chu Li looked at him: "Can you still hold on?" He was undoubtedly a little worried about the exhaustion that Lu Ye had suffered from his previous actions.

"No problem, I'm recovering all the time." Lu Ye replied. There are millions of Dao Power reserves on the talent tree now, and he also has enough Dao Fish in his hands. Even if it is consumed, he can replenish it at any time. There is no need for him to worry about the storage of power.

But it’s hard to explain too much.

"That's fine." Chu Li nodded, turned around and pointed in a direction: "The formation over there is now in your hands. This is one of the most powerful formations here. The treasure at the center of the formation is perfectly matched to your strength attribute. Make good use of it."

Lu Ye clasped his fists and said, "I will definitely not let Brother Chu down!"

Turn around and rush over there.

Soon arrived at the formation.

There are already more than thirty cultivators waiting here, some are at the Hedao level and some are at the Rongdao level. The Rongdao level is in the majority, accounting for about 60%. These people are cooperating with Lu Ye and can be considered assistants of the formation.

In a war of this scale, the role that Rong Dao can play on the front battlefield is actually very limited. Once encountering a strong enemy, he will be easily killed. But if he only enters the battle formation to assist in defense, he can play his role freely.

Seeing Lu Ye coming, everyone paid close attention.

Lu Ye didn't know them either, and had no time to communicate with them at the moment. He just nodded slightly and landed in front of the center of the formation.

The treasure placed at the center of the formation looks like a powerful crossbow at first glance, but it is extremely huge. It is obvious that this treasure is not for cultivators to use in battles, because such a huge treasure is not convenient to carry around.

This kind of treasure is specially made for setting up formations.

Lu Ye stood in front of the crossbow, took a quick look at it, then raised his hands and grasped the two grooves on both sides of the crossbow. He turned it with a little force, and the crossbow immediately began to adjust its direction.

He slightly urged his Taoist power and injected it into the powerful crossbow. Immediately, a faint light appeared on the crossbow. As he continued to pour his Taoist power into it, the light became brighter and brighter, and there were signs that it was about to turn into a huge arrow.

Lu Ye couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Although he did not fully unleash the power of this treasure, he realized after just a brief test that the power consumed to activate the power of this treasure was enormous, and it would be difficult to support it if only one cultivator relied on it.

That is why the assistance of the formation is needed. In this way, the power of more than 30 cultivators in the formation can be gathered together and combined into one to stimulate the power of the formation's eye.

Lu Ye looked back and saw that the thirty or so cultivators in his formation had all sat down with solemn expressions.

Everyone has a Taoist fish as a backup, obviously for the convenience of replenishing their own Taoist power at any time.

Lu Ye turned his head and looked around again, and saw that all the cultivators in the nearby formation group were ready and sharpening their knives.

The entire Changyun Island entered a state of combat readiness in a short period of time. The edge of the Ling Island was silent and a storm was approaching.

The wait was not long, but it was extremely painful.

"Here it comes!" Until a low shout was heard, the river of blood began to surge and spread.

Originally, the blood river only surrounded the Changyun Island a few dozen feet away, as if a blood-colored ribbon was wrapped around the island, but at this moment the blood river began to boil and invaded the direction of Changyun Island.

Not only that, the blood color began to spread upwards, showing a tendency to cover the entire Changyun Island.

In the blood-colored space, figures appeared and disappeared like ghosts.

After just a stick of incense, the light disappeared and the entire Changyun Island was covered in blood. If it were not for the protective formation, the blood would have spread into the island.

Waves of ghostly howling sounds came from the blood-red room, making people panic.

There was also strange singing coming from all directions, making people feel uneasy.

"Song of the Siren! Keep your mind focused." Chu Li shouted in a low voice.

The Changyun Island formation is solid, and it is not easy for the enemy to break it. However, the light curtain protecting the formation can withstand fierce attacks, but it cannot stop the invasion of the Siren's Song.

Lu Ye felt it carefully, and felt that this strange singing seemed to contain a magical power. Listening to it actually had the effect of stirring his emotions and making him feel inexplicably irritated.

However, this feeling disappeared without a trace as soon as he exerted his strength to resist.

He could do so, but it was not so easy for those Rong Dao in the formation to resist. When Lu Ye turned his head to look, he saw that the expressions of many Rong Dao were extremely difficult.

Even a few Hedao who were not strong enough frowned.

The siren song continues, with no sign of stopping.

The enemy's offensive began amid such singing.

Lu Ye soon realized that there were sounds of violent explosions of power coming from all over Changyun Island, and it was obvious that the defense lines in various places were fighting off the enemy.

"Kill!" When Chu Li shouted loudly, the battle on this defense line finally began.

The light curtain of the large formation in front began to shake. It was obvious that an enemy was using the blood-colored cover to get close to the formation and launch an attack.

Of course we cannot sit idly by in such a situation, we can only fight back with a more fierce attack.

With a command from Chu Li, each formation in the formation group began to hum and start operating.

The same was true for Lu Ye. When he urged the power into the crossbow in his hand, he clearly felt more power being transmitted from various parts of the formation.

He immediately calmed down and began to control these forces.

Although this was the first time he had controlled such a treasure, he had at least seen pigs run even if he had not eaten pork. When he had attacked Hedao City in the inner world before, there were similar formations arranged in each Hedao City.

So Lu Ye still understands the basic principles.

This is why Chu Li arranged more than a dozen of them to sit at the center of the formation. Only if their own strength is strong enough will they be qualified to control and coordinate the power transmitted by others in the entire formation.

If a Rong Dao were to stand in front of Lu Ye, he would not be able to do this at all. Even if other people in the formation transferred power to him, he would not be able to control it, and naturally would not be able to stimulate the power of the formation's center.

As he worked harder, the fiery light on the crossbow became brighter and brighter, and soon turned into a huge red arrow.

Lu Ye's mind was diffused, searching for the enemy's traces in the boundless blood, until the power of the center of the formation was stimulated to an extreme, and then he slightly adjusted the direction.

A huge arrow flew out in an instant, turning into a streak of fire, like a fire dragon emerging from a cave, and slammed into the sea of ​​blood.

The power of this attack was extremely violent. According to Lu Ye's estimation, there were almost six thousand bursts of power.

Although his own strength is not inferior to such an explosion, and even exceeds it, with the help of the formation, his own consumption will be much less. (End of this chapter)
