Changsheng: My qualifications improve a little every day

"This is the path of the dragon vein. If you follow this route, you will find the key location for the formation." Qilin said.

The captain carefully observed the pattern on the ground, memorized it, and then said, "Master Qilin, I wonder if there are other dangers around this dragon vein? We can prepare in advance."

Qilin pondered for a moment and said, "There are indeed some dangers around the dragon vein. In addition to the powerful guardian monsters, there are also some naturally formed formations and traps. These traps contain the power of heaven and earth. If you are not careful, you will be crushed to pieces. You must be careful and cautious. Don't be careless."

"Yes, we must be careful!" the team members said in unison.

Qilin looked at everyone, with a hint of hope in his eyes: "I hope you can complete the mission successfully and save the human world. If you encounter difficulties that you cannot solve on the way, you can come here to find me, and I will help you according to the situation."

"Thank you, Lord Qilin! We will never forget your great kindness!" said the captain gratefully.

Afterwards, the team members saluted Qilin again and moved forward carefully in the direction indicated by Qilin.

Along the way, they remained vigilant at all times and did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

Just as Qilin said, the dragon vein was surrounded by dangers. Not long after they walked, they encountered a huge formation trap.

In the formation, countless rays of light intertwined and flickered, forming an intricate maze.

"This must be the trap that Lord Qilin mentioned. It looks very dangerous." A team member said with a frown.

The captain carefully observed the formation, trying to find a way to break it.

He discovered that the light in the formation seemed to flicker according to a certain pattern, so he calmed down and carefully studied the changes in the light.

After some effort, the captain finally found the flaw in the formation. He directed the team members to pass through the light in a specific order and move forward carefully in the maze.

With everyone's efforts, they finally succeeded in passing the formation trap. However, before they could breathe a sigh of relief, a guardian monster appeared in front of them.

This monster was shaped like a lion, with sharp thorns all over its body and flames spewing from its mouth. It pounced towards them with great momentum.

"Everyone be careful and prepare for battle!" the captain shouted, drawing his weapon first and heading towards the monster.

The team members quickly dispersed, formed a battle formation, and attacked the monster from different directions.

Some team members used their martial arts to try to restrain the monster's movements; others found the right moment and swung their swords to cut at the monster's vital points.

Facing the siege of the crowd, the monster showed no intention of retreating. Instead, it let out a deafening roar towards the sky. Then, the flames around it suddenly surged several feet and turned into a sea of ​​fire, rushing towards the team members.

The scorching heat distorted the surrounding air and even sizzled the rocks on the ground.

One team member was unable to dodge and the flames brushed against the corner of his clothes, which instantly caught fire. He slapped the flames on his body in horror. Fortunately, his teammates next to him reacted quickly and quickly used water-based martial arts to put out the fire.

Upon seeing this, the captain knew that he could no longer passively take the beating. He concentrated his energy and mobilized all the vitality in his body. A dazzling blue light appeared on the sword in his hand, and his whole momentum suddenly increased.

Taking advantage of the gap in the monster's attack, he shouted loudly, rushed towards the monster like lightning, and pierced the monster's eyes with the sword in his hand.

The monster sensed the danger and quickly turned its head. The sword blade brushed past its cheek, leaving a spark.

But the captain did not stop there. He used the inertia of the forward rush to flip in the air, go behind the monster, and then launch a fierce sweep. The sword blade made a whistling sound and hit the monster's hind legs heavily.

"Ouch!" The monster roared miserably in pain, its body swayed a few times and it almost fell down.

It turned its head angrily, with flames of hatred burning in its eyes, and suddenly spewed out a thick column of fire, chasing after the captain.

The captain quickly used his skills to dodge left and right between the flames, and shouted loudly: "Everyone attack together, don't give it a chance to breathe!"

Upon hearing this, the team members all displayed their best skills. For a moment, all kinds of martial arts and sword energy intertwined in the air and flew towards the monster.

Under the joint attack of everyone, the monster gradually fell into trouble.

It was hit in many places by sword energy and martial arts, blood kept flowing out of the wounds, and the flames were no longer as fierce as before.

However, the trapped beast still fought, and suddenly rushed towards one of the team members regardless of everything, at such a fast speed that the team member had no time to react.

The team member was so frightened that his face turned pale, his legs went weak and he was unable to move.

At this critical moment, the captain was extremely anxious and threw the sword in his hand towards the monster.

With a "puff", the long sword accurately pierced the monster's neck. The huge impact force caused the monster's body to suddenly stagnate.

The other team members seized this opportunity and increased their attack strength. Various powerful martial arts exploded on the monster. With a dull roar, the monster's body fell to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

The team members looked at the fallen monster panting and breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the battle was difficult, they finally won with their tenacious will and tacit cooperation.

The captain walked over to the frightened team member, patted him on the shoulder, and comforted him: "It's okay, don't be afraid. After this battle, you will become stronger in the future."

The team member blushed and nodded, his eyes full of gratitude.

After a short rest, the team continued along the dragon vein.

Along the way, they encountered some small traps and guardian monsters, but with their previous experience, they overcame them one by one without any danger.

After several days and nights of arduous journey, the team finally arrived at the key formation location pointed out by Qilin.

This is a huge open space located in the valley, surrounded by mountains. The direction of the mountain peaks seems to have naturally formed a huge magic circle.

In the center of the open space, there is a glowing stone platform. The surface of the stone platform is engraved with mysterious runes, which seem to be telling ancient secrets.

"It should be right here."

The captain looked around and said excitedly. The team members also showed excitement. They knew that finding this key location would bring them one step closer to the goal of cutting off the source of the demonic tide. The captain walked carefully to the stone platform and carefully observed the runes on it.

These runes were unlike any he had seen before, exuding a mysterious and ancient aura.

He tried to touch the rune with his vital energy, and saw the rune flicker slightly. Then, a powerful force surged out from the stone platform, pushing the captain back a few steps.

"Everyone be careful, this stone platform seems to have some powerful restrictions." The captain reminded. The team members immediately became alert, holding their weapons tightly and preparing for battle.

At this moment, a melodious dragon roar suddenly came from the sky.

Everyone looked up and saw a huge five-clawed golden dragon slowly emerging from the clouds. Its body was shining with golden light and every scale was emitting powerful fluctuations of vital energy.

At the same time, in the distant Imperial City of Wei, Fang Yue was standing on the towering city wall, gazing deeply into the distance.

Not only was he concerned about the safety of the team that was exploring the dragon veins, he was also shouldering another crucial task - setting up the Soul-Extinguishing Array and guiding the energy of the people.

The Soul-Destroying Formation is a powerful formation that can isolate the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and prevent external enemies from invading with spiritual power.

Fang Yue knew very well that at the critical moment when the demonic tide was about to sweep in, protecting the safety of the imperial city and stabilizing the people's hearts were the top priorities.

Therefore, he worked day and night, personally directing the craftsmen to lay one complex rune after another around the imperial city to ensure that the Soul-Destroying Array was foolproof.

However, Fang Yue's mission goes far beyond this.

He knew very well that true power came not only from formations and weapons, but also from the human heart.

Therefore, he began to guide the spirit of the people, hoping to add immeasurable help to resisting the demonic tide by rallying the people's faith and strength.

Fang Yue set up an altar in the center of the imperial city. Every morning, he would personally go up to the altar and hold a ceremony.

Fang Yue stood tall on the altar, the sun shining on him, outlining a sacred halo around him. He slowly raised his hands, palms facing up, and rich vitality flowed like a lively stream, circling around him, emitting a faint light.

"Fellow citizens of the Great Wei!" Fang Yue spoke, his voice powerful and strong, penetrating the morning mist and reaching every corner clearly. "The demonic tide is coming. This is a catastrophe that concerns life and death. But I firmly believe that as long as we work together, there will be no difficulties that cannot be overcome!"

The people looked up at Fang Yue, and their eyes gradually showed a glimmer of hope after the initial confusion and fear. Fang Yue keenly caught this change and continued, "Everyone has a power in their heart, which is the love for their homeland and the protection of their loved ones. Now, let us release this power, gather together, and build a solid wall to resist the demon tide!"

As Fang Yue spoke, the runes on the altar glowed brighter and brighter, echoing with his vitality and creating a wonderful resonance. The people seemed to be inspired by something, and they closed their eyes involuntarily and began to gather the power of faith in their hearts.

In the crowd, an elderly man clenched his hands, frowned slightly, and the smiling face of his grandchildren appeared in his mind. He murmured to himself: "We can't let the demonic tide hurt the children." A warm and firm power surged from his heart and slowly merged into the vitality in the air.

Not far away, a young soldier, holding the spear tightly in his hand, said with a firm look: "I am willing to shed my last drop of blood to protect the Great Wei Imperial City!"

The power of his belief, like a blazing flame, joined the growing torrent of power.

Fang Yue felt that the energy of the people was constantly gathering and strengthening. He took a deep breath, released his own energy without reservation, and guided this tremendous force.

Above the altar, the vital energy gradually gathered into a huge ball of light, emitting a soft yet powerful light, illuminating the entire imperial city.

As this huge ball of light took shape, the entire imperial city seemed to be injected with new vitality.

The people could clearly feel that the gathered power contained their love for their homeland, their expectations for the future, and their determination to never bow to the devil's tide.

At this time, Fang Yue's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, but his eyes remained firm.

He knew very well that the critical stage of guiding the spirit of all people had not yet ended. Although this force was strong, it needed to be further condensed and consolidated before it could truly play a role in resisting the demonic tide.

Fang Yue circulated the energy in his body, muttered something, and quickly formed complex seals with his hands.

As he moved, the light in the ball of light began to flicker rhythmically, like breathing.

Every flash can make the spirit of all people more condensed.

Under Fang Yue's guidance, the people also adjusted their states and focused more on injecting the power of faith in their hearts into the ball of light.

For a moment, the entire imperial city was so quiet that the only sounds left were people's steady breathing and the faint buzzing sound of the flashing light ball.

With each flicker of the light ball, the atmosphere in the imperial city became more solemn and sacred. Although Fang Yue's face was slightly pale due to the continuous release of vitality, his eyes were burning with eternal determination and hope.

He knew that this was not only a defensive battle against the demonic tide, but also a great rallying of people's faith.

The spirit of the people is also a powerful force that can dispel all evil forces.

Deep in the demon world, in a magnificent palace built of black stone, the leader of the Demon Shadow Society, the Shadow Demon Lord, was sitting on a high throne. His sinister gaze penetrated the layers of darkness, as if he could see into every corner of the human world.

"The defenses of the human world are being reinforced. Fang Yue was able to unite the people. We really underestimated them." The Shadow Demon Lord's voice was low and threatening, echoing in the empty hall.

Below, a group of demon generals and demon sorcerers stood bowed, not daring to breathe. One of the demon sorcerers in a black robe stepped forward and reported respectfully: "Sir, the dragon vein exploration team has lost contact for many days, and I'm afraid it's in danger. But we must know the location of the dragon vein formation so that we can carry out the next attack plan."

Hearing this, the Shadow Demon Lord sneered, "Humph, a mere human, you still want to stop my plan? Send out orders, send stronger forces, make sure to find the location where the dragon veins are set up and destroy it. At the same time, activate the 'Shadow Plan', we will create chaos within the human world and weaken their power."

"Yes, sir!" The witch took the order, retreated quickly, and began to prepare for a new action.

At the same time, at the junction of the human world and the demon world, a secret force composed of the elite of the Demon Shadow Society is quietly gathering. They are dressed in black armor, with hideous masks covering their faces, revealing only their cold eyes, and exuding a frightening aura.

"This time, we are going to give the human world a 'surprise'." The leading demon general said coldly, waving a magic sword covered with strange runes in his hand.

The secret forces quickly crossed the weak zone between the two worlds, quietly sneaked into the human world, and began to implement the "Shadow Plan". They spread rumors, provoked disputes, and created panic, causing parts of the human world to fall into chaos.

In the Great Wei Imperial City, while Fang Yue was guiding the aura of the people, he also noticed the abnormality of the demon world's movements. He frowned, and an ominous premonition rose in his heart.

"It seems that the Demon Shadow Society has already started to act." Fang Yue whispered to himself, and then summoned the masters in the Imperial City to urgently discuss countermeasures. (End of this chapter)
