#164 - Chapter 164 The Reason for the Rapid Arrangement of the Dragon Trapping Formation

Several managing bandits were very worried about the Iron Hand Academy's destruction of the Dragon Trapping Formation.

However, Chen Heng calmly replied, "Resolving the Dragon Trapping Formation requires massive resources and advance preparation.

Even if the Iron Hand Academy tells other surrounding academies the solution, they won't be able to complete it in a short time, especially with the bandits harassing them; they simply won't be able to set up the formation.

It will also take the Iron Hand Academy a long time to break the Iron Hand Formation from the outside, and they can't determine our true target of attack; we have enough time to destroy an academy!"

The managing bandits trusted Chen Heng very much, and upon hearing his words, they all relaxed.

However, Chen Heng's heart was not as relaxed as he appeared on the surface.

Chen Heng's original plan was to immediately return to this plane after destroying an academy, then sacrifice all the bandits to activate the formation and summon a foreign Soul Master.

The order of these two events must not be reversed.

Because in the eyes of the Emperor Plane's will, a Soul Master is a hundred times more important than an academy.

Destroying an academy will not draw too much attention from the plane's will, and there is still a chance to eliminate the Soul Master.

But if a Soul Master is killed, the plane's will will definitely盯死Chen Heng,盯死all the bandits, and then there will be no chance to destroy the academy.

The Iron Hand Academy's destruction of the Dragon Trapping Formation in their area has affected Chen Heng's plan, making him very anxious.

However, Chen Heng cannot show anxiety, otherwise morale will collapse, and things will develop even less smoothly.

A moment later, all the bandits passed through the rift to destroy the academy.

In a gathering point of a market in the Iron Hand Academy area, Fang Che and others were extremely vigilant, observing the surrounding situation.

The iron chains that appeared inexplicably earlier had weakened everyone's bodies.

As a result, the chains disappeared not long after, leaving everyone somewhat puzzled.

Fang Che was able to determine through the aura emitted by the iron chains that it was a formation.

However, the formation should have been forcibly cut off by the formation provided by Gu Ning during the deployment phase.

Now that the formation has been successfully deployed, Fang Che guessed that the Iron Hand Gang might have been attacked, otherwise it would be impossible.

Just as Fang Che was about to contact Li Xing, the communication token suddenly emitted heat, and Li Xing's voice came out:

"The bandits have transferred all the resources, and they also have a special method that can skip the formation deployment process, allowing the formation to take shape instantly.

Now the formation has been resolved, and I have not suffered any losses here; you go check on the bandits' situation, and execute Warning Plan Number One, abandoning all other plans."

Fang Che and the professionals beside him breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the group's base was fine.

Immediately afterward, everyone frowned.

Since the formation was deployed instantly, it meant that the bandits had used up all their resources, and everyone had made a wasted trip.

A professional sighed and ordered, "Enter the shops immediately and eliminate the bandits."

The professionals who were good at combat remaining in the gathering point immediately opened rifts in all the shops, teleported to the surroundings of each shop, and began to take action.

At the same time, the professionals took out communication tokens and contacted the professionals who had gone out to supervise the bandits: "Capture the bandits in the hotels."

After the professionals transmitted the information, Gao Ping, who was beside them, said with some anticipation, "I hope the bandits in the hotels can bring some good things over, so we don't make a wasted trip."

Hearing this, a hint of anticipation also appeared in everyone's eyes.

A moment later, a professional who had captured the bandits walked out of the shop selling formations and made a safe gesture, then made a gesture indicating the need to observe.

Seeing the gesture, everyone in the gathering point immediately opened a rift in the wall and came outside the shop.

After Fang Che followed everyone into the shop, he saw that the service personnel disguised as bandits had turned into dehydrated corpses, with strange patterns drawn on their faces and hands.

Beneath the corpse, there was also a broken formation.

Gao Ping asked, "Can the formation master determine the situation of the formation?"

A formation master replied, "This should be the Dragon Trapping Formation, judging from the deployment method, it is an old, unimproved version."

After saying this, the formation master walked to the corpse and took off the corpse's clothes.

The corpse was covered with patterns, all of which were connected to each other, like a formation drawn on the body.

Gao Ping said in surprise, "The formation on his body is very similar to the formation on the ground!"

The formation master replied, "This is a linked formation. A normal linked formation allows the formation deployer to borrow part of the formation's power and gain formation changes.

However, this linked formation has been modified, and the function of the linked formation has also been changed to: at the cost of life, allow the Dragon Trapping Formation to be deployed instantly.

The formations in other places should also have been deployed using this method, but the Dragon Trapping Formation is very large, and it still takes time to connect and activate after deployment.

Relying on these formation deployers, it shouldn't be so easy to activate the Dragon Trapping Formation."

The formation master fell into deep thought.

Fang Che, relying on his experience in improving formations, instantly thought of the bandits who had checked into the hotels; the locations of those bandits' hotels were very good.

If those bandits also drew corresponding formations on their bodies, they could help the Dragon Trapping Formation connect and activate, at the cost of their lives.

At this moment, the professionals who had captured the other bandits ran into the shop, and then took out a pile of corpses from their storage rings.

A professional handed the storage ring to Gao Ping and said, "When we went there, the bandits who checked into the hotels had all turned into this. Also, they carried very few resources. The storage ring contains all of their resources!"

Gao Ping took the storage ring and carefully checked it.

The formation master stripped off the bandits' clothes, looked at the formations on their bodies, and suddenly realized:

"I understand, these bandits sacrificed their lives to instantly connect and activate the Dragon Trapping Formation.

To deploy the formation in the entire Iron Hand Academy area, it would take at least the lives of one thousand two hundred people. The person who came up with this is ruthless!"

Everyone fell silent upon hearing this.

A moment later, Gao Ping finished reading the contents of the storage ring, handed it to the person next to him, and said:

"Since the bandits here have been resolved, let's execute Warning Plan Number One.

We are weak, so we won't explore outwards. We will stay in the market now, gather the professionals in the market, and wait for the group's experts to join us."

Everyone nodded and left the shop to publicize the bandit problem and summon the surrounding professionals.

Fang Che was not good at words, so he followed behind Gao Ping, watching Gao Ping summon the professionals.

The professionals in the market had long known about the bandit problem. They had seen the chains that appeared out of thin air before and had experienced the effects of the chains.

Therefore, when the Iron Hand Group members persuaded them to defend together, they readily agreed.

Subsequently, many professionals were distributed throughout the market to defend against bandit attacks.
