"A group of water bandits most likely don't know how to build formations, so these formations should be... built by Guishuimen for them?"

Mo Hua frowned, then turned around and asked:

"The water bandits are found, what should we do now?"

Xia Diansi pondered for a moment, glanced at Gu Changhuai, and said slowly:

"According to the intelligence, there is no golden elixir among this group of water bandits. The two of us join forces to try to take them down?"

Gu Changhuai thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "I can't take it..."

"This is a second-grade state boundary. It is a small place. It is different from the big state boundaries in your Daozhou where you don't need to worry about your cultivation."

"When fighting against people in the second-level realm of the Golden Core Realm, you must strictly suppress your own cultivation and cannot be negligent at all."

"Do you have any experience suppressing your cultivation to fight with others?"

Gu Changhuai asked.

Xia Diansi was startled, frowned, and said reluctantly: "No..."

"That's it," Gu Changhuai said, "Those who suppress their cultivation and restrain themselves will not be able to exert even a few percent of their cultivation. It is impossible to take down this group of water bandits. If you are not careful, you may even fall into their trap."

"Golden elixir suppresses foundation building, but that is without restrictions."

"When you actually start working, all aspects must be taken into consideration, and the result will be difficult to predict."

"What's more, Water Yama is not as simple as you think."

"This person is different from ordinary foundation builders. His abilities are unpredictable. When his cultivation is not dominant, it is not an easy task to find a way to restrain him and catch him..."

After Gu Changhuai finished speaking, he pointed to the small island, "There is also this small island, which is surrounded by water. Once these water bandits are defeated, they will dive into the water. I am not practicing water-based exercises, so how can I catch them?"

"This is their home base. If the plan is right, it will be a good opportunity to catch this group of water bandits. On the other hand, if they act recklessly and make omissions, this great opportunity will undoubtedly be ruined..."

"It's easy to bury an opportunity, but after burying it, it may be difficult to find this opportunity again..."

Gu Changhuai looked indifferent and his tone was not polite at all.

I don't know if it was to anger Xia Diansi, but Gu Changhuai, who had never been very talkative, started talking a lot.

Xia Diansi's face was indeed covered with a layer of frost.

She also understands some of the truth.

But after all, she had little experience in handling cases in this low-end state, so she didn't notice it for a moment, and she happened to be caught by Gu Changhuai, who ridiculed her openly and secretly.

Xia Diansi was indeed a little angry. He looked at Gu Changhuai with a very unkind look, but he quickly calmed down and said matter-of-factly:

"Then what should I do, Yigu Dianji?"

Her tone was calm, with no other emotions, she was simply asking.

Gu Changhuai's eyes were slightly stunned, and he looked a little surprised. After a moment of silence, his tone became calmer unconsciously:

"First inquire about the enemy situation, know how many people they have, confirm whether there is any golden elixir, and verify all the terrain nearby, then go back to mobilize manpower and make a proper plan..."

“The more critical the moment is, the less likely we are to be greedy for short-term success.”

Xia Diansi's eyes flashed slightly, he glanced at Gu Changhuai, and nodded slightly.

Mo Hua was standing next to him, looking at Gu Changhuai and Xia Diansi for a while, and nodded happily.

After the discussion was completed, it was time to investigate in detail.

It was already evening, twilight was falling, and the sky was getting darker.

The three of them took a small boat and sailed around the island under the cover of thick aquatic plants.

Gu Changhuai and Xia Diansi are golden elixirs with powerful spiritual consciousness.

Although the ink painting is a foundation building, the spiritual consciousness is also approaching the peak of foundation building, and it is only one line away from the golden elixir.

Although this pattern is currently out of reach.

But that is also compared with Jin Dan.

Compared with this group of foundation-building water bandits, Mo Hua is naturally "way ahead".

Therefore, the three of them were careful and were not afraid of being discovered.

There are scattered sentries around the island, but because of the large gap in spiritual consciousness, Mo Hua can detect these sentries, but these sentries cannot detect Mo Hua and them.

Plus, there are little whitebaits leading the way.

The formation of early warning that stays in the water is distinguished by ink paintings.

So until the three men completed their reconnaissance more than an hour later, they did not alert the water bandits on the island.

By this time, it was already dark.

The night blended into the water, and the sky and water were all pitch black, with only a few stars twinkling in the sky.

On the originally silent island, there was sudden movement.

A little green fire lit up.

Then there was a lot of noise, some people were laughing and cursing, and the sound came from far to near, coming from the inside of the island and approaching the shore.

After that, there was the sound of boats launching into the water.

The sound of people and the sound of water mixed together, making it extremely noisy.

"Damn, it's finally night..."

“I don’t know what I can grab.”

"I haven't killed anyone for several days, and the knife is rusty."

"I haven't touched a woman for a month, and I'm rusty..."

"Fuck you, there is no formality..."

…

A group of people clamored, boarded the boat and launched into the water, lighting green will-o'-the-wisps, like yakshas at night, patrolling the Yanshui River.

Gu Changhuai silently counted the heads.

After this group of water bandits took the boat away, the surroundings became quiet again.

Gu Changhuai said: "There are about two hundred people going out. According to the habits of water bandits, they usually go out half and stay half. There are probably about 200 water bandits left behind on the island."

"In total, it should be about four hundred."

"At present, there is no golden elixir. Of course, it is possible that the golden elixir is not on the island."

On the Mo Hua side, the island's formation terrain map has also been roughly drawn.

"Do you want to go back now?"

Gu Changhuai pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "Don't worry, wait until daybreak. These water bandits are wandering on the Yanshui River. If you go out now, you will easily run into them."

"When the time comes, it won't matter whether you kill or not kill."

Killing will scare off the enemy.

If he doesn't kill them, given the temperament of this group of water bandits, they won't be able to let it go.

So the three of them waited in the boat.

Gu Changhuai and Xia Diansi took turns to be on guard.

Mo Hua took out a small blanket, wrapped himself well, and lay down in the cabin to sleep. His consciousness sank into the sea of ​​consciousness, practicing formations on the Taoist monument.

The way of formation requires that every drop of water penetrates the stone, so you must be diligent and unremitting.

Nothing can interrupt your habit of practicing formations unless you really have to.

As for safety issues.

At the border of the second-level state, there were two Jindan realm Diansi acting as bodyguards for him, which made Mo Hua feel at ease.

Gu Changhuai and Xia Diansi looked at Yanshui River with wary expressions. They turned around and saw Mo Hua curled up in the bed cabin, sleeping peacefully like a cat, and they couldn't help but sigh.

This kid has a really big heart.

How could he sleep in this situation?

They both stared at the ink painting silently for a moment, then raised their heads together, and their eyes happened to meet. They were both stunned for a moment, then without saying a word, they both silently looked away.

In this way, Mo Hua practiced the formation all night.

When it was almost dawn, Mo Hua opened his eyes, folded the small blanket carefully, put it into the storage bag, then took out a pot of fruit wine and ate two pieces of dried meat.

While eating, he found two eyes looking at him.

Mo Hua grabbed another handful of dried meat and handed it over, "Uncle Gu, Sister Xia, do you want to eat?"

"You can eat..."

The two people had complicated expressions.

"oh."
