Ling Qingxue couldn't help but smile when she saw Xia Ruofei's child-like smile. She nodded with a smile and said, "Good luck! Burn these bad guys to the ground! "
Xia Ruofei laughed and began to set up the formation outside.
This formation was mainly a fire-based attack. After Xia Ruofei's special modifications, the formation materials were basically distributed outside. It could cover an area of about three kilometers at most, and then concentrate the attacks inwards.
Xia Ruofei chose to set up the formation about 20 meters away from the Star Fern Thorns. After so many tests, he felt that this distance was relatively safe. It could ensure that the formation was at its most effective, and it wouldn't attract the attacks of the Star Fern Thorns while he was setting up the formation.
This formation was basically designed by Xia Ruofei himself, but it was combined with some existing formation diagrams. It was much more original than the Trap and Kill Formation. Therefore, even though it was his first time setting up a formation, he didn't feel unfamiliar with it.
This was because he had already simulated this formation in his mind and on paper many times.
Xia Ruofei went around the Star Fern Thorns and placed the formation materials one by one. Occasionally, he would stop to check the position before quickly continuing to set up the formation.
After about 20 minutes, Xia Ruofei placed the last set of formation materials in his hand.
He had already gone around the entire Star Fern Thorns and returned to the position he had set off from.
Xia Ruofei took out 10 Origin Crystals from the Ring-Tu space.
Then, he placed the 10 Origin Crystals in a hexagon that was completely made up of jade stones with mysterious formation patterns on the periphery of the formation.
The most important thing about this formation was that the core of the formation, which was the hexagon where the Origin Crystals were placed, was located outside the formation.
Furthermore, this formation could use Spirit Stones, Spirit Crystals, and even Origin Crystals, which had a higher energy level.
Of course, the power of the formation would be completely different depending on the energy source used.
In order to end the battle quickly, Xia Ruofei directly used the Origin Crystals with the highest energy purity. Furthermore, he used 10 Origin Crystals at once and placed every energy source in the formation.
This way, he could basically squeeze out the maximum power of the formation.
Of course, the consumption was also obvious.
Xia Ruofei was already at the early-stage of the Golden Core Realm. Furthermore, the Dao Sutra required a lot of energy. One Origin Crystal could support his cultivation for a long time?
Using 10 Origin Crystals at once was indeed a lot.
Xia Ruofei's main consideration was to successfully complete this mission?
And receive the reward for breaking the record on the fourth floor?
Apart from upgrading the Origin storage Bead?
And 1,000 Origin crystals.
In comparison, ten Origin Crystals were insignificant.
Moreover, Xia Ruofei was not sure either.
Would fire attacks have any effect on the Star Fern Thorns?
Therefore, he had to try it as soon as possible. If it didn't work, he would have more time to try other plans.
After placing the Origin Origin crystals' ''s?
Once again Mental power?
Once again, he checked the entire formation?
Then, he took a deep breath?
He formed a hand seal and sent it into the formation's core.
Ling Qingxue also held her breath?
She stood beside Xia Ruofei and looked at the Star Fern Thorns in front of them.
One second?
Two seconds, three seconds …
The formation didn't move at all. Ling Qingxue couldn't help but reveal a puzzled expression.
However, at this moment, a ring-shaped flame suddenly appeared 20 to 30 meters away from the Star Fern Thorns' 'periphery.
A wave of hot air swept over them.
Ling Qingxue subconsciously tightened her grip on Xia Ruofei's arm.
Xia Ruofei's expression was very calm.
How powerful could this formation be?
He had a rough idea.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei gently patted Ling Qingxue's arm to comfort her.
As for his gaze, it was fixed in the direction of the formation.
After the ring-shaped flame appeared, it immediately started to extend inwards. The intense burning of the flame consumed a lot of the surrounding air, so it accelerated the flow of air. Xia Ruofei and Ling Qingxue both felt the wind start to blow around them.
As the saying went, 'Fire borrows strength from the wind'. Moreover, this was a flame controlled by a formation, so the less wind there was, the fiercer it would be.
The ring-shaped flame quickly penetrated inwards. In a few breaths' time, it had already entered the Star Fern Thorns' attack range. It was less than 20 meters away from the Star Fern Thorns.
In fact, when the formation was activated and the flames appeared, the Star Fern Thorns' 'periphery had already started to become restless. The Star Fern Thorns, which looked very similar to camel thorns, started to sway even though there was no wind, as if they were quite restless.
The flames of this formation were naturally different from ordinary flames in the mortal world. In fact, this formation was inspired by the deathtrap formation. The highest temperature of the flames formed by the black radiance was almost pure white. The temperature was so high that even the most difficult ore to melt in the mortal world wouldn't be able to withstand it for too long.
Today's flame formation could be said to be of the same origin as the black radiance flames of the deathtrap formation. The Star Fern Thorns clearly sensed danger and started to shrink back, preparing to attack.
In the previous times that Xia Ruofei had tested the formation, the Star Fern Thorns would only attack when they were close to 10 meters away. However, the moment the formation flames entered the range of 20 meters, the Star Fern Thorns erupted with a large number of thorns.
The ring-shaped Star Fern Thorns within a kilometer radius shot out a large number of thorns at the same time. It was as if a black shockwave was spreading from the inside to the outside. The scene was quite spectacular.
Xia Ruofei and Ling Qingxue were standing a safe distance away, so they didn't move at all. They stood in place and watched the show unfold.
Of course, Xia Ruofei was also constantly forming hand seals and carefully controlling the formation. At the same time, he was also paying close attention to the formation's operation and energy consumption.
The formation's power was being squeezed to the extreme, so the consumption was quite large. The energy within the ten origin crystals was quickly being depleted. It was several times faster than when Xia Ruofei was cultivating.
Xia Ruofei wasn't stingy with his origin crystals at all. He maintained the formation's operation at the highest intensity.
The thorns that shot out couldn't do anything to the formless flames at all.
Furthermore, the Star Fern Thorns immediately retracted the thorns after they shot into the ring-shaped flames. However, a portion of the thorns didn't successfully retract. They were probably burned by the ring-shaped flames.
Xia Ruofei was slightly relieved when he saw this.
It seemed that he had made the right choice. The Star Fern Thorns still hadn't broken away from their nature as plants. Flames were clearly their natural enemy.
Xia Ruofei formed hand seals and compressed the ring-shaped flames even further.
The Star Fern Thorns erupted in a frenzy. However, apart from attacking with their thorns, they could only dance around in place. They couldn't form an effective method to deal with the flames.
Finally, the ring-shaped flames reached the outermost ring of the Star Fern Thorns.
The outermost ring of Star Fern Thorns began to come into direct contact with the flames.
The Star Fern Thorns danced even more frantically. The thorns were also completely unleashed, but they still couldn't stop the flames.
When the flames came into contact with the outermost Star Fern Thorns, a series of crackling sounds could be heard. The Star Fern Thorns' vines were instantly ignited.
There was a loud boom. The Star Fern Thorns seemed to be the best combustion accelerant. After they were ignited, the flames almost doubled in intensity.
Xia Ruofei was overjoyed. He further urged the formation to compress the flames.
Perhaps ordinary flames wouldn't be able to do much damage to the Star Fern Thorns, but the flames produced by the Flame Formation were the bane of their existence.
The ring-shaped flames didn't encounter any resistance in front of the Star Fern Thorns. They continued to advance with ease. More and more Star Fern Thorns were ignited. The crackling sounds didn't stop, and thick smoke constantly rose. Xia Ruofei and Ling Qingxue couldn't see what was going on inside. They could only release their spiritual power to investigate.
As far as Xia Ruofei was concerned, he didn't need to do anything himself after the formation was set up. However, this was a disaster for the Star Fern Thorn Belt.
The ring-shaped flames burned for about fifteen minutes. Xia Ruofei's spiritual power could sense that the inside of the Star Fern Thorns was empty. Clearly, the ring-shaped flames had already reached the innermost layer of the Star Fern Thorns.
Xia Ruofei immediately switched to another hand seal. He controlled the ring-shaped flames so that they wouldn't extend any further. At the same time, he continued to burn with the highest power. He wanted to completely annihilate the Star Fern Thorns that had already been completely engulfed by the ring-shaped flames.
Ling Qingxue was already stunned by the spectacular scene in front of her. She held tightly onto Xia Ruofei's hand. She couldn't believe her eyes.
She had seen Xia Ruofei set up the formation with her own eyes. It was just a few simple jades, formation talismans, and a few formation flags. The most valuable item was ten crystals. However, once the formation was formed, it could explode with such power. It was simply too terrifying.
The ring-shaped flames continued to burn for ten minutes. Xia Ruofei's spiritual power detected that the Star Fern Thorns that had been completely submerged in the flames had all been burned to death. There wasn't a trace of life left.
Only then did Xia Ruofei switch to another hand seal. Immediately, the ring-shaped flames began to gradually decrease in intensity. In the end, they were completely extinguished.
The thick smoke gradually dissipated. The situation in the fire was finally revealed to Xia Ruofei and Ling Qingxue.
The two of them looked at the scene in front of them with incomparable shock.
All of the Star Fern Thorns were still in their original state. However, they had already turned completely white. There were many other white thorns on the ground that had also turned white.
After the flames were extinguished, there wasn't even a trace of smoke left in the fire. It was clear how thoroughly the flames had burned.
Xia Ruofei casually waved his hand. A stream of energy shot out from his hand, bringing with it a strong gust of wind.
Following that, the Star Fern Thorns that were still in their attacking positions in the fire were directly reduced to ashes when the gust of wind blew past. The entire ring-shaped Star Fern Thorns collapsed bit by bit like dominoes, extending to the other end of the ring-shaped area.
Similarly, the white thorns on the ground were also directly reduced to ashes.
Suddenly, a white ring-shaped area with a diameter of about one kilometer appeared on the ground.
It was truly burned to the point that not even a speck of ash was left!
Xia Ruofei waved his hand again, and the white ring-shaped area in front of them immediately parted to form a path.
Xia Ruofei smiled as he held Ling Qingxue's hand and said, "It's done! Wife, we can go receive our reward now! "
The ground that had been burned by the super intense flames was still very hot. Even though Xia Ruofei was flying with Ling Qingxue on his sword, he could still feel the waves of heat coming from the ground.
However, Xia Ruofei released a bit of energy and easily isolated the heat waves outside.
Without the obstruction of the Star Fern Thorns, Xia Ruofei easily flew with Ling Qingxue to the location of the light spot shown on the Perceptive Mirror's map.
In fact, this light spot was in the center of the Star Fern Thorns. After Xia Ruofei and Ling Qingxue entered the Star Fern Thorns, they immediately found the spot.
This was because it was very conspicuous.
Xia Ruofei and Ling Qingxue had just entered the Star Fern Thorns when four stone pillars slowly rose from the ground. It was difficult for them not to notice them.
Xia Ruofei jumped off the Qu Shuang Flying Sword with Ling Qingxue and walked in front of the stone pillars that were about four feet tall.
At the top of the first stone pillar, there was a groove that was exactly the same size as the elemental storage bead.
It was very obvious that this was used to upgrade the elemental storage bead.
At the top of the second stone pillar, there was an ancient-looking storage ring. Xia Ruofei reached out and picked up the storage ring. He used his mind power to probe it and found that it was an ownerless storage ring.
To be more precise, the owner of the storage ring had probably erased his own mind power imprint after storing things in it.
Xia Ruofei easily claimed ownership of the storage ring and then checked it. There were indeed a thousand elemental crystals inside. Other than that, there was nothing else.
Xia Ruofei could not help but be secretly speechless. This was a little too much. Just to give out a reward, the owner had directly given out a storage ring.
One had to know that in the cultivation world on Earth, where resources were scarce, a storage ring was very precious. Some of the poorer Golden Core cultivators might not even have one. As for Qi Refinement cultivators, there were very few who could have a storage ring like Ling Qingxue and Song Wei.
Xia Ruofei took out all the elemental crystals inside and transferred them into the Ring-Tu space. Then, he erased his mind power imprint and handed the storage ring to Ling Qingxue. He smiled and said, "This is an extra gift. You can keep it!"
Ling Qingxue hurriedly refused. "I don't want it! I don't want it! I already have a storage ring. It's useless to keep it! And if Weiwei finds out … "
"Weiwei won't be so stingy!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile.
"That won't do! Weiwei … "Ling Qingxue's eyes suddenly lit up. She took the storage ring from Xia Ruofei and said with a smile," I know what to do with it! When we go back, I'll give this storage ring to Uncle Song! Hasn't he already started cultivating? He can use it! "
Xia Ruofei was slightly stunned. Then, he smiled and said, "That's a good idea! But I've already given you the storage ring. You can do whatever you want with it! "
Ling Qingxue chuckled and said, "I didn't expect you to be so considerate! You deliberately left me to be the good guy, right? "
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "There's no need to distinguish between the two of us! It's the same whether you give it to me or not, right? "
