Cultivation: Start with a Spiritual Plant Space

Chapter 306: Initial Exploration of the Formation

This evil cultivator was dressed in a black robe and had a strange mask on his face, revealing only a pair of eyes emitting a cold and sinister light.

He glanced at everyone and sneered, "You think you can break the formation? That's just wishful thinking!"

Zhang Qiyi took a step forward and glared at him.

"Hmph, stop being so arrogant! Watch out for the sword."

As he spoke, he raised his spirit sword and attacked with agile and graceful movements.

The evil cultivator laughed heartily and casually slapped out a cloud of black smoke, knocking away the attacking sword.

"You ignorant brat, once the sacrificial formation is completed, you will all become victims."

Seeing that her sister's attack was blocked, Zhang Qier hurried forward to help, but she still couldn't break through the evil cultivator's defense.

The evil cultivator refused to give in and waved his hands, and a powerful dark force surged out.

Zhang Qier and her sister were swept by this powerful force and immediately flew backwards.

Li Fan quickly stepped forward to catch his children and casually released the red lotus fire.

Upon seeing this, the evil cultivator's face turned serious and he quickly dodged.

After steadying himself, he actually teased, "Boy, you have some skills, but this ability can't break the formation."

Then, with a smug sneer, he turned and flew back towards the mountain into the formation.

Everyone was completely unable to react and could only watch as the other party hid in the formation.

Ji Moxue bit her lip, feeling helpless.

"This evil cultivator is so powerful, he's not easy to deal with!"

Seeing that everyone's morale was low, the dean quickly said loudly, "No matter what, we must first find a way to break the formation."

The old man took a deep breath and said, "Yes, don't be discouraged. First, follow the previous plan and find a path to the top of the mountain. Then think of a way to deal with it."

Li Fan nodded and said, "That's all we can do. Everyone, be careful."

Everyone gathered themselves together and followed the old man towards the path that might lead to the top of the mountain.

At this time, the branches and leaves of the surrounding trees were intertwined, blocking most of the view.

From time to time, there were subtle noises coming from the grass, which was a bit unpleasant to hear.

At this time, Li Fan was walking in front.

His spiritual awareness expanded fully, constantly scanning the surrounding movements.

Not long after walking, he suddenly stopped and stretched out his hand to signal everyone not to act rashly.

"Wait, there's something weird here."

Everyone suddenly became nervous and looked over.

There was a faint fluctuation of spiritual power coming from under the seemingly ordinary fallen leaves on the ground.

Li Fan squatted down and gently pushed aside the fallen leaves.

Found some strange runes hidden in it.

There was still a wisp of black gas coming out of it.

At this moment, black gas suddenly rushed out in all directions.

It even penetrated into the bodies of several monks behind him.

At this time, the monks fell to the ground, screaming in pain.

But soon there was no movement.

Li Fan hurried over to check, but found that only the skins of these monks were left.

He couldn't help but look gloomy, "Yelling be careful."

Ji Moxue's face turned pale. She walked over and grabbed the corner of Li Fan's clothes, "You have to be careful too!"

Li Fan nodded slightly, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

After saying this, he continued walking forward without any hesitation.

Seeing this, everyone had no choice but to follow.

Not long after walking, Li Fan suddenly felt his feet loose and knew that he was in trouble again.

He quickly shouted back, "Don't come over here yet!"

Upon hearing this, everyone stopped immediately.

At this time, Li Fan squatted down and carefully observed the ground in front of him.

The ground appears calm, but in fact, it is hiding many tiny holes.

There was also some fine powder scattered around the hole.

"This is the nest of the Moye insect."

He whispered, "These bugs can corrode spiritual energy. If we accidentally trigger them, the consequences will be disastrous."

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but gasp.

Li Fan did not hesitate, took out a pill from his storage bag and gently threw it towards the area.

As soon as the pill touched the ground, it was instantly swallowed up by an invisible force and turned into nothing.

"See? This is the power of the Moye insect."

His voice grew more serious.

Ji Moxue asked nervously, "Then what should we do?"

Li Fan pondered for a moment and said, "The Moxie bugs are very sensitive to fire-attributed spiritual energy. I will use the Red Lotus Karma Fire to force them out first. Everyone, prepare your spells. Once the bugs appear, destroy them immediately."

Everyone nodded and prepared for battle.

Li Fan took a deep breath, and the red lotus fire in his hand rose up and burned towards the ground full of holes.

In an instant, a pungent smell spread, and countless black Moye insects poured out of the holes like a tide.

"Do it!"

he shouted.

Everyone used their strongest spells.

For a moment, light flashed, and various spells were blasted towards the Moye insect.

Under the attack of everyone, the Moye insects turned into ashes.

But there were still some Moye insects that pounced on the crowd.

Li Fan flashed and stood in front of everyone. The red lotus fire formed a wall of fire, blocking the Moye insect out.

After a fierce battle, all the Moye insects were finally killed.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Okay, let's move on. Everyone must be more careful."

"That was a close call. If you hadn't discovered it, we would have been in danger."

Ji Moxue looked at him affectionately and said with lingering fear.

Li Fan smiled back, then frowned slightly: "This is just the beginning, everyone must be careful."

At this time, the old man who was in charge of the formation stepped forward, observed it carefully, and said, "These insects are arranged very cleverly. It seems that the evil cultivators have put a lot of effort into it."

The dean and Venerable Duanya agreed with this and became more cautious.

However, at this time, the powder of the Moye insect's corpse spread in the air, forming a thick fog.

At first, the crowd didn't care and continued to move forward cautiously.

But not long after, a monk walking in front suddenly became dazed and muttered to himself.

"Where is this? Why are there so many treasures?"

As he said this, he walked to the side.

Seeing this, Li Fan thought to himself that something was wrong.

"Everyone be careful, this fog has hallucinogenic effects!"

But it was too late, and one monk after another began to show abnormalities.

Some monks screamed in terror, as if they had seen an extremely terrifying scene.

Some monks looked intoxicated and fell into a beautiful dream.

Ji Moxue also felt a little dizzy, and some unreal scenes appeared before her eyes.

She shook her head hard, trying to stay awake: "Li Fan, I... I seem to be a little affected."

Li Fan quickly held the other person's hand and injected a stream of spiritual power into her body.

"Close your eyes and keep your mind focused!"

At this time, the dean and Venerable Duanya also hurriedly circulated their spiritual power to resist the invasion of the hallucinogenic fog.

However, just when everyone was trying their best to resist.

Suddenly, a sinister laugh was heard in the fog.

"Hahahaha, just slowly get lost in this illusion!"
