Star Farming, the eldest lady relies on alchemy to counterattack

Chapter 194 Assigning tasks
"Yun Han, if this is really a dragon-trapping formation, do you have a way to break it?" Ning Xuan asked Yun Han.

"Yes, but in order to find the center of the formation, we still need a detailed diagram of the formation. This little information alone is not enough." Yun Han replied.

"Let's go back today. Wang Yue, make a few more hot air balloons. We'll try it with the hot air balloons first." Ning Xuan said.

"There's no need to go through so much trouble, Master. If there really is the formation he mentioned, and the formation targets living objects, there shouldn't be any problem simply releasing a hot air balloon. But if we put people up there, it might not be the case. So let me go up and take a look." Di Youlin said eagerly.

Ning Xuan was a little hesitant. It wasn't that she didn't believe in Di Youlin's strength, but she just didn't want him to take risks.

"Don't worry, Master. I swept the interstellar battlefield when I was a teenager. Although my strength has been suppressed here, I still have the ability to protect myself. I'll go up and take a look. If the situation is not right, I will return immediately." Di Youlin said so. Ning Xuan nodded and said, "Okay, then you must be careful. If there is any unusual movement, retreat immediately."

Di Youlin grinned, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes: "Master, don't worry, it's just a pile of broken stones. Even if there is a formation, it can't do anything to me."

After saying that, he spread his wings, his figure flashed, and he turned into a stream of light and rose from the ground.

Ning Xuan also mobilized her spiritual power, stepped on the flying disc formed by the wings of the flying elephant ants, and took off into the air right after them, ready to respond at any time.

Di Youlin flew to a height of dozens of meters above the stone forest and began to descend tentatively. He estimated that he would be able to see the shape of the stone pillars clearly when he descended to a height of about ten meters.

Just when Di Youlin descended to about 20 meters, he suddenly felt the air around him stagnate, as if invisible shackles were wrapped around his limbs.

Di Youlin snorted coldly, and golden light around him surged, shattering the binding force.

"There is something strange indeed." His eyes flashed, and he became more cautious in his heart. The speed of descent slowed down a lot. After descending a few meters, Di Youlin could vaguely see the arrangement of the stone pillars below. Just as Di Youlin was looking for the distribution pattern of those low and round stone pillars, he found that the stone pillars in the stone forest began to move slowly. As they intertwined with each other, a large array pattern appeared on the ground, emitting a dazzling black light.

The black light turned into a big hand and grabbed Di Youlin.

"Di Youlin, be careful." Ning Xuan shouted nervously, urging the flying elephant ant's ant-wing flying disc to rush forward to help.

"Don't come over here, I'm fine." Di Youlin shouted. Facing the black hand that was approaching, he did not retreat, but instead rushed straight forward. He flapped his wings, and the edges of his glittering wings burned with blazing flames.

"It's just a remnant soul, not worth mentioning." The flames on Di Youlin's body forced the black hand back. Di Youlin swooped down and slashed at the problematic stone pillar below with a sword. The strong sword energy flattened some of the originally towering stone pillars.

Wang Yue, who was lying on the ground, looked up in amazement: "This... this is too strong!"

"Miss Ning, I can go and lend him a helping hand." Qinghe clasped his fists and asked for permission. Qinghe also wanted to call Ning Xuan "master", but he was not worthy of it at the moment.

"No!" Yun Han looked up at Ning Xuan and said, "The formation has been fully activated. Rushing in will only make the situation worse!"

Ning Xuan nodded and said to Qinghe, "Let's observe the situation first." Di Youlin swung out more than ten swords in succession. The stone pillars below had become a mess, with stones flying everywhere. However, there were more and more black shadows flowing in the stone forest. Di Youlin's figure flying in the air gradually became unstable. Occasionally, he was hit by a shadow and his body would suddenly fall. Although he was able to stabilize his body in time every time to avoid colliding with the sharp stone pillars, Ning Xuan was very nervous when watching him.

"Di Youlin, come back first." Ning Xuan shouted.

When Di Youlin heard Ning Xuan's order, he did not hesitate and immediately flew up with all his strength. After three attempts, he finally flew up. When he rose to about 40 meters below, the strange pulling force finally disappeared.

Di Youlin flew back and slowly descended from the sky. Just as he reached Ning Xuan, he heard the sound of rocks colliding behind him. He turned back to look at the stone forest and saw that the stone pillars he had smashed into pieces had returned to their original shape in a short time.

His face was slightly pale, with a hint of shame in his eyes. "Master, the formation of the stone forest is indeed a bit strange."

Ning Xuan quickly stepped forward and supported his shaky body. "Formations are inherently troublesome, so you should rest for a while. There's no rush to break the formation. We can find a solution together."

Di Youlin said aggrievedly, "If my strength hadn't been suppressed, I could have dug out these broken stones with just one sword. This feeling of being suppressed is so frustrating."

"However, I have just written down the approximate positions of the low stone pillars, and I will draw it now." Di Youlin was attacked when he was trying hard to remember the distribution pattern of the stone pillars. Fortunately, Di Youlin has high mental power and outstanding memory.

Although he only took a quick look at it, he was able to remember most of it.

Seeing Di Youlin continue the pattern Zhang Nan had drawn and then draw another part, Yun Han nodded affirmatively to Ning Xuan, "It's the Dragon Trapping Formation. He drew it in quite detail. I'll try to calculate the location of the center of the formation."

The reason why Yun Han was able to bring an independent legion to the position of a first-level elite legion in just a few years was not only because of his strong combat effectiveness and family support, but also because he was proficient in various formations.

Yun Han spent about half an hour circling three locations on the blueprint that Di Youlin had added. "As long as these three stone pillars are destroyed, the formation will be broken."

"Very good, Di Youlin, I'll leave this stone pillar to you. You can fly into the air and rush down, destroying it with all your strength. Can you do it?" Ning Xuan pointed to the stone pillar farthest from the edge and gave Di Youlin the task.

"Yes." Di Youlin answered quickly.

"The one in the middle is under the charge of Yun Han and I."

"Qinghe, you are responsible for the outermost one. Let's calculate the time and act together to break it in one blow. Lin Mo, you support Qinghe." Ning Xuan assigned tasks to everyone.

"Master, it's too risky for you to go." Lin Mo did not agree with Ning Xuan's participation in the operation.

Although Yun Han didn't dare to refute Ning Xuan, he nodded frantically when Lin Mo raised his objection. The others also unanimously disagreed with Ning Xuan taking the risk.

"Among us, I'm the only one who can fly, except for Di Youlin. It's much easier to attack from the air than deep in the stone forest. As long as we coordinate according to the agreed time, there will be no problem."
