After strengthening the patrol range and intensity of the warriors, the security situation in Weisen Town has improved significantly, but Yang Ling still dare not be careless. After all, the patrol team can only deter ordinary people, and for a master like Tianbang Killer, it is not very effective.
Recalling the masked assassin's unpredictable movements and instantaneous magic, Yang Ling's scalp still felt numb. Although his summoned beast was fast, it was still too slow in front of such a top-notch killer. If the opponent had mobilized the heavenly ranked killer from the start, or if the female assassin Kulana hadn't delayed for that brief moment out of anger, he would have probably gone to see Marx already.
With the materials almost ready, Yang Ling decided to add a Witchcraft Maze Array on top of the Spirit Gathering Array. This way, even if the enemy managed to sneak past the patrol and sentry, they would still find it difficult to quietly approach him.
Witchcraft Maze, as the name suggests, is a primary illusion array. Those who don't understand array techniques and intrude will lose their direction, walking back and forth without finding a way out. Yang Ling is currently only a low-level spirit witch; if he advances to earth witch and condenses witch pellets, he can add a killing array inside the maze, increasing its power several times.
According to the Bagua position, Yang Ling carefully placed each of the demon beast crystal cores. In fact, the demon beast crystal core was not inferior to the crystal stone recorded in the witchcraft, and the higher the level of the demon beast, the more obvious its effect. For example, a single crystal core of a nine-headed snake monster was stronger than one hundred crystal cores of a double-headed deer.
During this period, under the thick profits, people sent all kinds of demon beast essence and demon beast crystal nuclei. Although the vast majority were low-level demon beast essences and crystal nuclei, as the saying goes, quantitative change leads to qualitative change, Yang Ling believed that the maze array would become the most effective barrier around him, even if the Heavenly Killer personally came, it would be difficult to break through for a while.
After sitting down with his legs crossed, Yang Ling stirred up the witch power inside his body and activated the Eight Trigrams Formation. With a "whoosh" sound, the formation began to slowly rotate, just like when the Spirit Gathering Formation was first activated, emitting a circle of colorful light that he absorbed completely without leaving any residue.
According to Yang Ling's conjecture, due to the internal structure and energy contained being different from crystal stones, when activated by witch power, the essence of energy inside the crystal nucleus will erupt. The fire-type magic beast crystal nucleus emits red light, the earth-type magic beast crystal nucleus emits yellow light, the wood-type magic beast crystal nucleus emits green light..... After superimposing them together, a rare seven-color light is formed.
After absorbing the pure energy of the seven-colored light, Yang Ling silently recited the witch's decision and began to cultivate quietly. Unnoticed by Alice who came to deliver food, one foot unknowingly stepped into the courtyard where the maze array had just been laid out.
After walking a few steps with the vegetable basket, Alice found that the scenery in front of her had changed, and she suddenly came to an unfamiliar place. There were towering trees everywhere, as if they had come to the depths of the Trasmil Forest in a strange way.
"Yang brother, where are you, Yang brother..."
To her surprise, Alice found herself in a strange and unfamiliar place, screaming out in terror. She couldn't make sense of where she was or how she got there, no matter how hard she racked her brain - one minute she had been walking into the courtyard where Yang Ling was, and the next thing she knew, she was here.
After shouting for a while, seeing no response, Alice relied on her instincts to find her way back. However, after turning around for half a day, she couldn't escape the gloomy forest. Exhausted and seeing the forest becoming increasingly ominous, as if it were a ferocious beast waiting to pounce, she grew more and more panicked with each step.
"Brother Yang, Brother Yang....."
After a gust of cold wind blew by, Alice felt a chill run through her body, as if some undead creature had emerged from the forest. In a panic, she bit her teeth and ran wildly, shouting Yang Ling's name while tears gushed out like a fountain.
*sigh*...
At some point, Alice felt the sky getting darker and darker, unable to see her fingers when she stretched out her hand. The gloomy wind seemed to be getting stronger as well, as if something was closely following behind her. Remembering the rumors of Visen Castle being haunted, she couldn't help but feel terrified, running more and more anxiously. From time to time, she tripped over exposed tree roots on the ground, falling and injuring herself until her head was bleeding.
It wasn't long before Alice was on the verge of collapse, when suddenly, in a state of panic, she felt herself bump into something suspended in mid-air. With a loud shriek of "ahh", her legs gave way beneath her and she fainted dead away.
"Alice, don't be afraid, it's me!" Seeing Alice's pale face from fright, Yang Ling secretly cursed himself for being careless and not giving everyone a heads up before setting up the maze array. Fortunately, he hadn't joined the killing array yet, otherwise the consequences would have been unthinkable.
After being pinched a few times by Alice, the poor little girl slowly woke up. Seeing Yang Ling in front of her, she quickly rushed into his arms and didn't move, "Yang brother, there's a ghost, there's a ghost..."
"It's okay, I'm here, nothing bad will happen, don't be afraid!" Seeing that Alice hadn't calmed down yet, Yang Ling shook his head and smiled wryly, first following her train of thought to comfort her for a few sentences, then gently patted her back.
Yang Ling spent half a day's effort, repeatedly opening and closing the maze in front of Alice, before the frightened little girl slowly calmed down, believing it was just an illusion caused by the mysterious magic array. She didn't understand what the maze was all about, but when it came to the mysterious magic array, the little girl who had never been in contact with magic seemed to understand vaguely.
"Alice, don't be afraid, it's just a magic array!" Yang Ling said as he hugged the pitiful Alice and gently stroked her hair, silently scolding himself for being careless. Fortunately, he hadn't added a killing array, otherwise, this little girl who didn't know magic or have any fighting energy would have met with disaster.
After rolling and crawling for half a day, Alice's cloak had long since disappeared, leaving only a thin outer garment on her body, with the small bun tightly tied up. Yang Ling inadvertently looked down and almost burst out laughing, naturally producing a man's reaction.
"Yang brother, I...I've brought you lunch!"
After vaguely understanding what was going on, Alice slowly calmed down. Although she had never been in a romantic relationship before, she also vaguely knew the differences between men and women. Feeling something unusual from Yang Ling's lower body, she blushed bright red with shame and slipped out of his arms.
Delivering food?
Looking at the empty basket in Alice's hand, Yang Ling was moved. The little girl was so scared but still tightly grasped the basket in her hand. Unfortunately, although the basket was still there, the food inside had long been gone.
"By the way, Alice, how's your grandfather doing lately? Is he in good health?"
"Ah, okay, still thinking of you!" Alice replied softly, her pretty face flushing red, not daring to look up at Yang Ling. Just thinking about Yang Ling's hard lower body made her heart feel like a deer collision, tense and uneasy.
Seeing Xiao Yatou become like this, Yang Ling also felt a bit unnatural. These days, it's not clear whether he hasn't been close to women for a long time or his skills have improved greatly, but as soon as he was stimulated, his lower body reacted immediately. The other day when he was with Sofia, he accidentally made her so shy that she turned and ran away, and now he had made Xiao Yatou's face turn bright red with shyness.
After a moment of silence, looking at Alice's thin shoulders, Yang Ling said with a heartache: "Alice, your grandfather is too lonely living alone. Why don't you go back home and take care of him from tomorrow on?"
Go home just to serve grandfather?
When Yang Ling said this, Alice's whole body shook, and she quickly raised her head, tearfully saying: "Brother Yang, I've said before that I'll serve you for a lifetime. Could it be that you're dissatisfied with my service and want to drive me away?"
Before Yang Ling could respond, Alice continued in a bashful tone: "Gianna said that I've also grown up and can get married now. Brother Yang, if you... I..."
Grown up, can get married?
Listening to Alice say that and looking at her immature little face, Yang Ling couldn't help but smile wryly. This silly girl, what is she thinking?
"Alice, how could Brother Yang bear to drive you away? He just hopes you take good care of your grandfather! Yang Ling hesitated for a moment, then said: "Why don't we do this instead? Bring your grandfather over and live together. It's tiring for you to run back and forth between two places, and it's better for mutual support!"
"Yang, is this for real?" After a moment of surprise, Alice burst into laughter. It seems that women are born with the talent to act, saying one thing and meaning another, their mood changing faster than the weather in June.
"Well, go then, and ask Butler Mulberry for a few servants to help!"
Alice turned around excitedly and left. Yang Ling shook his head and told her how to get in and out of the yard, so she wouldn't have trouble getting in next time.
"Dear book friends, new book is rushing up the charts, please help vote for it, I'm deeply grateful, thank you!"
Also, I recommend a book by a friend, "The Magic Beast Sword Saint's Adventures in Another World", book number 1007967. It's about the story of a magic beast sword saint in another world and it's written quite well.
