A team of ten people walked silently in the snow.

The hardest thing about a place like this is determining the direction.

Xu Yi also had to stop from time to time to calibrate the compass in his hand.

In the previous life, a magnet could solve the problem, but in this world, prophecy magic has been used.

Every time you input spiritual power, you can vaguely perceive a direction by reciting the location silently in your mind.

If you don't know the direction, you can only trust the direction indicated by the compass.

Xu Yi asked the Sixth Elder to lead a few people to stay in Pengshan Village and then move together with the large army.

He led the fourth elder, seventh elder of the family, some new members of the family, and disciples Elder Yu, Elder Huang and other dependent disciples into the two mountain plains.

Two days have passed.

If you drive during the day, you have to stop and rest at night.

It is said to be a plain with two mountains, but in fact the terrain is complex and diverse.

There are mountains, woodlands, and valleys.

Monsters appear from time to time.

Everywhere they went, Xu Yi asked the team to spread out and look around to see if there were any traces of the demon clan.

Found nothing for two days in a row.

"Everyone will continue to practice [Point Star Killing Formation] together tonight."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

People who have never been exposed to military formation are also eager to try it.

Xu Yi had seen the power of a complete killing formation.

But a ten-person spirit refining team, even if they cooperate tacitly, can barely lay out the first step of the killing formation.

As a fellow uncle, when Xu Yi set out, he found Lieutenant He and wrote down the contents of the entire formation.

This formation actually relies on people and tokens working together to form the formation eye.

It can be quickly arranged by consuming spiritual power and luck.

Xu Yi also sighed after reading it. I wonder which genius came up with this idea.

Let the human race be able to fight against the foreign races in the early stage.

After training, a group of people gathered together.

"I feel from the compass that we are very close to our destination."

"We must get to the mouth of Canghe River tomorrow."

"Otherwise, I won't be able to return to Yingkou Village within a week."

After listening to Xu Yi's words, everyone nodded silently.

"I always feel that this investigation is definitely not just as simple as searching for the existence of demon clan."

Elder Yu on the side said to everyone.

Xu Yi valued Elder Yu's analysis very much.

Starting from Leping Village, Elder Yu serves as the first elder of the casual cultivator force.

The power of casual cultivators developed particularly rapidly.

Whether it’s resource allocation or uninformed hedging bets later on.

And this time, he resolutely gave up the interests of Leping Village and attached himself to the Xu family of Yongfeng.

All show his strategy and decisiveness.

"Elder Yu, can you elaborate on this?"

"Master, have you seen traces of the demon clan during these days' searches?"

"Never saw it."

"With a team of ten, our search range can completely cover all places in our direction?"

"How is that possible! In such a big place, it would take us three days to travel in a straight line."

"This is the key point. We are only given seven days. We can only speed up every day and cannot search the surrounding area in detail."

Xu Yi also understood what Elder Yu meant.

And he also suspected that the key point was on the compass in his hand.

But he is not a high-level person, so it is best for him to successfully complete the task without endangering himself.

Xu Yi signaled to Elder Yu and told everyone to have a good rest and continue moving forward tomorrow.

After understanding what Xu Yi meant, Elder Yu also meditated and rested.

The night went by without incident, and early the next morning everyone set off again towards their destination.

Since knowing the destination is the key, no one will waste time on the road.

In the afternoon, when everyone was approaching the place, a small hill lay in front of them.

Xu Yi immediately waved his hand, "Set up the formation!"

Everyone subconsciously set up the [Point Star Killing Formation].

Xu Yi instantly took out his token and input his spiritual power to take control of the spiritual array.

Just after constructing the formation, something suddenly hit the half-appeared light shield.

The opponent was knocked backwards and the light shield scattered.

As the conductor, Xu Yi felt a strong force hit him directly just now.

The whole person felt short of breath.

After everyone stabilized, they looked ahead.

A giant ape standing more than two meters high appeared in front of them.

"White-striped ice ape!" Elder Yu next to him suddenly called out the monster's name.

Everyone became nervous.

"A monster in the foundation building stage?"

Someone asked tentatively, hoping someone would tell him he was wrong.

Elder Yu nodded.

Xu Yi's expression also darkened.

The demon clan is an extremely diverse clan.

Human beings have always wanted to define the strength of individual monsters, but they are completely unable to unify them.

Especially for monster beasts, even if their strength is judged to be in the foundation-building stage according to the human race's cultivation system, their strength often varies greatly due to different types.

The white-striped ice ape is considered to be extremely powerful among them.

Because monster beasts cannot use spiritual energy, monster beasts in the spirit refining stage are often weaker than humans in the spirit refining stage.

But there are exceptions, such as the white-striped ice ape in front of me.

His physical talent is strong, and his attacking arms are almost martial arts.

He has the same strength as a foundation-building monk.

Although the formation just now was a temporary formation, it still had the power of the foundation-building period.

With one blow, the entire killing array was shattered.

The white-striped ice ape on the opposite side has not been harmed yet.

In addition to worrying about the strength of the white-striped ice ape, Xu Yi was also worried about the presence of other monster enemies around him.

That would be a devastating blow to his team.

The white-striped ice monkey on the opposite side roared repeatedly.

Without giving everyone a chance to think, they attacked again.

A pair of arms appeared in front of me in the blink of an eye.

A monk who was always vigilant was still knocked out.

"Except for the four of us, everyone else is staying away from the battlefield."

Elders Yu and Huang, who had late-stage strength, approached Xu Yi.

The fourth elder, as a monk who has reached the final stage of spiritual refining in the Xu family, has always stood next to Xu Yi.

In a battle of this level, it would be difficult to help without advanced cultivation.
