Chapter 245: The Gluttonous Bat
However, before I show up, I don't believe that Duguwen would have killed 300,000 disciples.And if one doesn't follow along with Zhan Chou and the others into the turbid wasteland, then the entire tur...A glacier cave connected to the boundless sea, and in its depths of ten thousand feet, there exists an array arranged with nine snowflake petals.
This really made Jiang Yun hard to believe.
Needless to say, this formation must have been set up by the Snow Tribe!
However, Gingercloud had a very strong feeling in her heart.
This formation's existence, I fear, is unknown even to the snow tribe people, even including Ah Gong!
To set up an array in such a place would definitely not be without purpose. There must be an extremely special objective behind it.
If the Xue Clan knew, then when they left the Shan Hai Realm, even if they didn't have time to deal with it, they should have told themselves.
But they never actually said it.
And Ginger Cloud clearly remembered, when his grandfather mentioned this ice cave at first, his tone and attitude were nonchalant, seeming indifferent.
Even the Lianxue clan didn't know that their own formation was hidden here, so this formation could only have been set up by Xue Mu.
Besides, only he could possess such strength to set up this formation in this kind of environment.
Even Jiang Yun couldn't help but wonder, could this ice cave have also been specially opened up by Xue Mu
But what is his purpose in doing these things while hiding them from his own people
At the sight of Jiang Yun, a look of joy finally appeared on Han Mingyi's bat face.
But seeming to worry that Jiangyun would scold it, before Jiangyun could even speak, it opened its mouth like offering a treasure, spitting out something that passed straight through the nine snowflakes unaffected and landed in Jiangyun's hand.
With the light of the snowflakes, Jiang Yun saw that Han Mingyi Bat had given him a small ring.
At that moment, upon a single sweep of his spiritual awareness, Jiang Yun couldn't help but be stunned all over again.
Because inside the ring, there were piles and piles of storage magic tools. Judging by the number, there were at least five or six hundred, maybe even more!
Although Ginger Cloud hadn't gone to carefully check what was inside each storage magic tool, he didn't need to think hard to know.
These things together would definitely be a fortune!
In a flash of insight, Jiang Yun quickly understood. These storage artifacts must have belonged to the many monsters from the Myriad Monster Cave who had perished here.
The Wan Yao Ku attacked the Xue Clan twice, sending over a thousand demon warriors each time. Nearly all of them were wiped out.
However, Gingercloud hadn't expected that these demon clan's storage artifacts after death would end up in the hands of a Cold-Void Winged Bat.
"Where did you get that"
Upon hearing Jiang Yun's words, the face of Han Ming Yi Fu revealed a triumphant expression: "There is something strange about this cave. During the battle, none of you noticed that all the weapons they dropped were absorbed into this ice cave."
"So after you fell unconscious, I saw the Snow Tribe guarding you, so I snuck in here and sure enough, found these things!"
Indeed, during the war, whether it was Jiang Yun or the Snow Clan, all their attention was focused on powerful figures like Xue Ran Yi from the Myriad Demon Cave.
My life was on the line, I couldn't even care about storage artifacts anymore.
Unexpectedly, the Cold Shadow Winged Bat actually noticed me.
"Are you here specifically to collect these storage artifacts"
When she uttered these words, Ginger Cloud’s heart felt a touch of emotion.
In his mind, Han Mingyi bat must have been collecting these artifacts in this ice cave for him, risking his life to do so!
However, the next moment, his touch of emotion vanished, replaced by a wry smile.
Because Han Ming Yi Bat honestly shook his head and said, "That's not the case, these were just picked up along the way."
"I feed on the cold and dark qi. I sensed a very tempting chill within this cave, so I ventured in hoping to have a good meal. Unexpectedly, I stumbled into this broken formation."
Jiang Yun was speechless!
This Cold-Darkness Winged Bat, in order to eat, doesn't hesitate to venture deep into the unknown ice cave, ten thousand meters below. Truly a glutton!
"You should be locked up longer!" Jiang Yun said with both anger and amusement. "Just wait, I need some time to see if I can break this formation!"
When it comes to battle formations, Ginger Cloud is completely clueless.
However, fortunately, Xue Mu Cheng's divine consciousness bestowed upon him a jade slip containing his insights on array formations.
In Jiang Yun's opinion, since this snow formation was set up by Xue Mu Cheng and only consisted of nine snowflakes, it shouldn't be too complex. Perhaps if he studied the insights Xue Mu Cheng left behind, he could find a way to break it.
"Grandpa always said that life is full of unknowns! Indeed, who would have thought that I would end up here, researching formations!"
He smiled wryly and shook his head. Jiang Yun crossed his legs and sat beside the formation. He first put the ring away, then took out the jade slip, and infused his divine sense into it, carefully looking through it.
Originally, Gingercloud thought he wouldn't spend too much time on it, but unexpectedly, upon looking into it, his mind was completely immersed in the insights of this formation, unable to extricate himself.
From this moment on, a magical door opened before Jiang Yun, allowing him to access a brand new world - the world of formations!
The reason why formations are so profound and even have the function of transforming decay into magic is because the way of formations is vast, deep, and boundless like the sea.
Although there are many formations that can be easily learned and set up by anyone, they only mimic the surface and fail to capture the true essence of a formation. They cannot unleash the full power of a formation.
And the true way of formations, is just like refining medicine or artifacts, just like cultivation, it requires a considerable amount of time to research, and needs to go through countless practices, countless failures.
Although learning formations doesn't have any specific requirements, there is one crucial element—divine awareness!
The stronger the divine consciousness, the more intricate and terrifying the formations it can set up.
And in Xue Mu Cheng's reflections, he even came to the conclusion that formations could be arranged using the sun, moon, stars, mountains and rivers.
But these things are simply beyond Ginger Cloud's comprehension right now.
After all, although he was exposed to the world of formations, let alone entering it, he didn't even know where the door was.
Luckily, his requirements aren't high now; he just hopes to find the key to breaking through the current formation.
Just as Jiang Yun was immersed in the formation, he was unaware...
At this very moment, thousands of miles away from the snow scene before him, there stands a snow mound composed of countless snowflakes!
And upon this snowdrift, there was actually a young man, no bigger than a palm, sitting cross-legged, his form hazy and indistinct.
Although this man was ethereal in form and unremarkable in appearance, the silver Taoist robe he wore was particularly eye-catching.
The Taoist robe was embroidered with countless stars, each emitting a faint glow. They were interwoven, forming a strange symbol that resembled writing, appearing and disappearing like a phantom.
And the man's form stood shrouded beneath this symbol.
This man was resting his chin on his hand, a look of interest on his face. His gaze seemed to pierce the distance of a thousand miles, fixed on Jiang Yun as he murmured to himself, “Interesting, it wasn’t someone from the Snow Clan who came, but a human!”
