The next day, Chenshi.

The underground cave of the ancient battlefield was pitch black.

Song Wen and Xuan Ye, who had calculated the time, were ready to go.

Xuan Ye is still leading the way. The cave passage they are taking now still has many side roads. Only Xuan Ye knows which way to take.

We walked for about two hours.

Song Wen suddenly stopped and asked Xuan Ye.

"Fellow Daoist Xuan Ye, are we not far from the snake cave ahead?"

Xuan Ye asked in confusion.

"Brother Guo Tao, why do you say this? Have you been here before and know the way to the Snake Cave? This place is indeed not far from the Snake Cave, only a few miles away."

Song Wen shook his head and said.

"I have never been to an ancient battlefield, but about three hundred meters ahead, there was a group of snakes dragging six walking corpses forward."

Previously, Song Wen had already demonstrated his mental power that was stronger than that of a strong man. As for Song Wen's ability to know the scene three hundred meters away, Xuan Ye did not doubt the authenticity of what Song Wen said.

He continued, "What kind of snake is it?"

"The whole body is dark and comes in different sizes. The small one is only as thick as a thumb, and the big one is as big as an arm." Song Wen replied.

Xuan Ye nodded, "That shouldn't be wrong. They are the black vipers in the snake cave. They are hunting."

"Hunting!" Song Wen was a little surprised.

This is the first time Song Wen has heard of such a strange creature that feeds on walking corpses.

Xuan Ye nodded and said. "Food is scarce in the caves, so it's not surprising that monsters and zombies prey on each other."

"Then what should we do now?" Song Wen asked.

"Let's not disturb the black vipers in front of us, let them carry the food back to the snake cave."

Xuan Ye paused and continued.

"The next plan to collect snake scale fruit still needs to rely on Brother Guo Tao."

Song Wen nodded and said, "No problem, this is what we have negotiated before, but should fellow Taoist disciples talk about the plan to collect snake scale fruits?"

Xuan Ye mentioned before that his plan needed the help of body-refining cultivators, so he invited Song Wen and Niu Ding to accompany him, but he did not reveal the detailed plan.

Xuan Ye said, "The black viper has grown underground for a long time in the ancient battlefield and feeds on walking corpses. This makes the black viper naturally like yin and like darkness; it is afraid of fire and the yang energy of heaven and earth."

"In order to successfully capture the Snake Scale Fruit, I have been preparing for a long time. I spent a lot of money to hire someone to refine a set of "Prairie Fire Formation". This formation has eight formation flags. Just insert the eight formation flags into the corresponding positions. , and then if I activate the array disk, I can turn the area within the array into a sea of ​​fire."

"The temperature in this formation is extremely high, and there is a trace of the Yang Qi of heaven and earth. As long as this formation is placed on the ground of the snake cave, due to the nature of the black vipers, they will definitely be suppressed deep in the snake cave."

"After that, it will naturally be much easier for me to get the snake scale fruit."

Song Wen frowned when he heard this.

Xuan Ye's strategy sounds feasible, but its implementation will definitely not go as smoothly as he said.

For example, how to successfully deploy the eight-sided formation flag is a big problem.

Black Viper would not just watch a human monk operating in their territory and remain indifferent.

However, Song Wen did not directly question it, but said.

"Then let's go check out the situation in the snake cave first and then decide what to do."

Xuan Ye said, "That's very good."

Afterwards, the two of them walked and waited. The black viper in front of them was not moving the corpse very fast. It took them a full two-quarters of an hour to cover several miles.

Xuan Ye and Song Wen were hiding in the shadows at the corner of the cave, about three hundred meters away from the Snake Cave.

In order not to alarm others, Xuan Ye had already put away the fluorescent stones used for lighting, and the surroundings were dark.

Song Wen saw the general situation of the snake cave through the beetle Gu.

The cave where the Snake Cave is located is tens of meters high, with a sloping stone slope extending from the ground to the top of the cave.

On the rocky slope, there are countless densely packed cave entrances. The largest ones are about two inches long, while the small ones are only about the size of a thumb.

Hundreds of black vipers were crawling and swimming on the rocky slopes, and more black vipers were lying in the snake holes, with only half of their tails exposed.

The size of these black vipers varies greatly. The large ones are as thick as the mouth of a bowl, while the small ones are only about the size of chopsticks.

Halfway up the rocky slope, there is a small tree two meters high, growing there alone.

Perhaps because it has never been exposed to sunlight, the small tree appears gray-white as a whole, and even the leaves are gray-white.

On the top of the small tree, there are three fiery red fruits, which are about the size of a fist. The fruits are rich in spiritual energy and emit bursts of fragrance.

Many little snakes were attracted to wander under the tree, staring directly at the three snake-scale fruits, but no little snake dared to climb up the small tree and bite the snake-scale fruits.

Looking at the darkness around him, Song Wen asked.

"Fellow Daoist Xuan Ye, what should we do next?"

Xuan Ye said, "When taking action, I will let a fierce ghost attract the attention of the snakes, and at the same time I will release the fireball technique."

"Brother Guo Tao, what you have to do is, with the help of firelight, throw the eight formation flags to the corresponding formation positions in a short period of time."

While talking, a formation flag appeared in Xuan Ye's hand.

The formation flag is about two feet long. The flag is fiery red and the flagpole is black. The tail of the flagpole is very sharp. It should be specially designed to facilitate the insertion of the formation flag into the rock. The flag and flagpole are both painted with mysterious cloud patterns, and there seems to be flames flowing between the cloud patterns, which is extremely magical.

Xuan Ye said, "This formation flag weighs about a hundred kilograms. It requires fellow Taoists to use brute force to accurately throw it to the formation feet. Fellow Taoists should be able to do it, right?"

With Xuan Ye's strength at the seventh level of Qi training, the range covered by his mental power is only more than a hundred meters. Beyond this range, mental power will lose control of the magic weapon. The magic weapon can only rely on inertia and go straight forward. There is no way to achieve precise control. Naturally, there is no way to accurately insert the formation flag into the formation.

Therefore, Xuan Ye had to find another way.

He then thought of finding a body-refining monk to work together to obtain the snake scale fruit.

The physical strength of the body-refining monks is strong, and they can use their physical strength to accurately throw the formation flag to the formation from a long distance.

Song Wen took the formation flag, weighed it, and said, "This is not a problem, but relying on brute force to throw and place the flags one by one is too troublesome, and it takes too long, and it is easy to be defeated by the Black Viper. It was discovered that the formation layout failed."

Xuan Ye raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? Do you have a better way?"

Song Wendao said, "My mental power can barely cover the area of ​​the Snake Cave. If I can initially refine the formation flags, I can use my mental power to control eight formation flags at the same time and insert the formation flags into the formation's feet."

After more than two years of feeding, Song Wen also slowly figured out some new uses of beetle Gu. In addition to helping him extend his mental power, beetle Gu can also easily control magic weapons within the extended range.

Although within the extended range, Song Wen was unable to use the imperial weapon to attack the enemy, he could still do this by simply controlling the eight formation flags and inserting them into the formation.
