Chapter 657: Construction (2)

Yang Tianqi was preparing the materials that he needed. These materials had already been specially processed.
In their generation, the process of making array formations had become very standardized. Whether it was the array plates and flags of the array formations or the spirit stones needed, they had all been specially processed.
Hu Qian squatted beside Yang Tianqi and watched him make the initial preparations.
“Speaking of which, who do you think Master and the others will send to build the Sand Gathering Formation? That array was really powerful, and the danger factor was so high. If it could really be made, it could compress the entire desert back. This was really a huge project.”
Liu Wen leaned against a pillar at the side and looked at the two of them in boredom.
“These are not things that we can consider. Master naturally has his arrangements. We just need to do what we have in front of us.”
“You can’t say that. Master is the real capable person. If we can get our hands on the array diagram of this sand-gathering array and learn 10% to 20% of it, we’ll be able to become an array master.”
Yang Tianqi raised his head and glared at Liu Wen, warning him,””Don’t have any evil thoughts about Master’s things.”
“What do you mean by having crooked thoughts? Master and the others didn’t avoid the two of us when they discussed this matter. Besides, isn’t Master happy that we’re so humble and studious?”
“But Master doesn’t intend to let us come into contact with that level of array formation yet.”
“Perhaps Master just feels that our current strength isn’t enough, but I feel that Sister Xiao Man has been with us for so long, our current attainments in formations aren’t as bad as Master thinks.”
Yang Tianqi did not say anything else.
This sand gathering formation was something that Li Yuanqing had mentioned to Xiaoman during their internal discussion.
The purpose was to completely isolate the desert from the outside world. Currently, the sand was expanding in a disorderly manner. If they couldn’t successfully block it or force it back, Sea City Base would be threatened sooner or later.
However, if there was a way to make the desert retreat and restore the vast wilderness to its original state, this problem could be solved at the root.
Li Yuanqing had even personally designed such an array formation. However, it was especially dangerous to place this array in the center of the quicksand. From what his master had said, he had not found a good candidate yet.
“No matter what, let’s finish the task at hand first. Don’t just sit there and do nothing.”
“It’s such a simple mission. The two of you didn’t casually assign it to him.”
“Cut the crap and quickly draw the groove.”
Liu Wen grumbled a few words, but he still obediently walked to the center of the empty space.
There were many small flags placed on the ground. They were all marks that Liang Tianqi had already arranged. They were the key nodes of the array and the positioning points that they wanted to draw the groove.
Liu Wen walked to the small yellow flag in the middle and pulled it out casually. He took out a black wooden stick with his backhand. This wooden stick was three feet long and black. It looked very inconspicuous.
Liu Wen held the top of the wooden stick and stabbed it into the brick.
This was the thickest foundation of the entire fortress. It was made of large pieces of stone, and its hardness was extremely high.
However, the wooden stick in Liu Wen’s hand was like a piece of tofu. It easily pierced half of the stick in.
Liu Wen nodded in satisfaction. Suddenly, he turned the wooden stick in half a circle.
The wooden stick emitted a strong light that hit Liu Wen’s face. Liu Wen’s eyes suddenly became sharp as he stared at the patterns on the wooden stick.
After the initial dazzling light, it gradually became dull and gentle. When the light gradually stabilized, it was still moving slowly, as if there was a long light source inside that was constantly circling.
Liu Wen mumbled something and pressed his other hand on the ground.
Slowly sweeping out from the wooden stick, rays of distorted light shot out. These rays of light were engraved on the body of the wooden stick. As the gentle light swept past, lines of the same design appeared on the floor under Liu Wen’s feet and were slowly engraved on it.
Just like that, after scanning around once, the patterns under Liu Wen’s feet expanded by a foot. He sat cross-legged on the ground and closed his eyes. One hand was pressed on the wooden stick, and the other hand was placed in front of his chest. On the hard stone slab under his butt, grooves slowly appeared.
These grooves were very round and triangular in shape, with ups and downs in them.
After about an hour, the light on Liu Wen’s body slowly faded.
The core formation with a radius of 100 feet was completed.
Liu Wen put away the black short stick and let out a long sigh of relief. He wiped the sweat off his forehead.
He turned to look at Yang Tianqi, who was busy at the side, and Hu Qian, who was following him like a bug, and curled his lips.
“I said, I’m done with my things. The rest is up to you.”
Yang Tianqi said without turning his head,” Rest well first and recover your strength. You’ll be a little busy tomorrow.””
The two of them already had quite a tacit understanding. They had worked together so many times in the area of setting up array formations, and now they were familiar with it. When the two of them cooperated, it was called easy.
Liu Wen then looked meaningfully at Hu Qian, who was following behind Yang Tianqi. He pursed his lips and said,””I say, Miss Hu, you are so interested in arrays, why are you only looking at our Great Genius Yang? If you don’t learn my set, will you be able to learn all of this?”
Hu Qian turned her head and glared at him. She said unhappily,””I’m not interested in looking at you.”
“Miss Hu, your words are too sad. Don’t tell me that I don’t have any redeeming qualities?”
“Liu Wen, stop fooling around. This mission is very important. Hurry up and go back to rest and recover your strength.”
Liu Wen had wanted to argue with Hu Qian, but Yang Tianqi’s appearance dispelled his thoughts.
“Alright, I know that Young Master Yang is worried about your little wife. I won’t say anything, okay?”
“Who are you calling a little wife?”
Hu Qian narrowed her eyes and stared at Liu Wen coldly.
Liu Wen was just about to run when he suddenly felt a strong killing intent coming from behind him, causing his heart to turn cold.
He quickly turned around and raised his hands in surrender.”Young miss, I was just saying it casually. I don’t know what I was saying. You can’t be serious, right?”
Hu Qian slowly raised her hand. A white pearl slowly appeared on her palm. This pearl was also a treasure that Li Yuanqing had given her.
“Damn it! Young miss, are you really going to make a move?”
Seeing this, Liu Wen immediately ran out. He was no match for Hu Qian.
With Hu Qian’s strength, he wouldn’t even be able to defeat eight or ten of them.
Hu Qian pointed a finger at Liu Wen.
A white light hit Liu Wen’s heel, scaring him so much that he rolled forward. This almost burned his calf.
“You want to kill someone?” Liu Wen shouted as he ran towards the camp in a panic,” Yang! Control your little wife. If she kills me one day, I won’t let the two of you off even if 1 become a ghost!”
Liu Wen looked behind him in shock. After climbing over a mountain, he could no longer see the fortress.
Just as he was about to heave a sigh of relief, he turned around and saw a large group of demon beasts behind their camp. He did not know when they had gathered in this direction.
Those demon beasts were originally scattered all over the periphery of Sea City, so there shouldn’t be any behind them.
However, at this moment, those guys had already moved to less than a hundred meters behind their camp..
