I was reborn after playing a good hand badly

Xiaota paused before answering.

"Do you think anyone can contract the Skyfire?"

"We don't know the city lord's situation either. He may want to leave it to others, or more likely his own spiritual roots are not compatible, and forcing a contract will only hurt him."

"You also took advantage of your spiritual roots to complete the contract with such low strength."

Su Mo opened his mouth, but gave up on continuing the conversation.

She should hurry up and explore the secret room.

Unfortunately, after getting the poisonous insect, he found nothing in several secret rooms in succession. It was not until the last one, under the bedroom in the main courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion, that Su Mo saw a good thing!

It was a stone slab one meter square, with densely packed and intricate patterns carved on it. It was placed in the middle of the innermost wall of the secret room. Although Su Mo could not understand it, she could tell that they were array patterns.

Most of the things related to psychic energy in the city have disappeared, and those that have survived, whether it is the sky fire or the nightmare poisonous insects, are all top-notch. This stone slab that looks like an array plate has also been preserved, so it must not be a simple thing.

Su Mo didn't have much knowledge, but that didn't stop her from making some guesses. It was said that all the large cities in Suzhou had their own defense formations, so could this be...

The more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed. She no longer cared whether she would disturb Liu Moxi's retreat from reading, and went straight to the teaching tower and knocked on the door of Liu Moxi's classroom.

"Miss Liu, please help me take a look at this."

She took out the slate and placed it on the table.

Liu Moxi has a high opinion of Su Mo as her boss, and she doesn't mind being disturbed by her boss.

Liu Moxi frowned when he suddenly saw the slate on the desk.

This thing looks familiar.

Su Mo did not urge him. After Liu Moxi carefully checked it, he smiled and said to Su Mo, "Boss, this is a coincidence."

She pointed to the book spread out on her desk. "The one I'm reading now explains the different formations of city defense formations. One of them is the formation diagram on this stone slab."

Su Mo also smiled. Her guess was right, right?

"Really?! Have you seen it? Do you understand it?"

Liu Moxi stopped smiling and shook his head slightly, "It's very profound. I've only scratched the surface..."

"Well, that's not what I meant. You've read the relevant information and should have a general idea of ​​the situation, right? Let me tell you, I want this defensive formation, and I hope you can take on this task."

Liu Moxi raised his eyebrows. "Boss, have you found new fragments of Suzhou? Is it a city? Have you found other cultivators?"

"I didn't encounter any cultivators. This fragment is desert. I am now in a city in the desert. This stone slab was obtained from the city lord's mansion." At this point, Su Mo thought of the big city that was absorbed by the small tower before. There should have been such a defensive formation, but he was not strong enough at that time and missed it.

Liu Moxi pointed his finger at the pages of the book spread out on the table and accepted the task without much hesitation.

She said, "This formation should be composed of nine formation plates. Boss, do you only have one?"

Su Mo's mouth twitched. "So many? I only got this one piece for now. But it doesn't matter. The city is almost empty. The others should not be difficult to get."

Liu Moxi nodded. "Although I only understand a little bit, it will be no problem to collect all the array plates according to the instructions in the atlas. It just takes some time."

Su Mo is willing to spend this kind of time.

"How long do you expect it to take?"

Liu Moxi had already thought about this and said directly, "It won't take more than a day." She was referring to Blue Star time. Ever since they followed Su Mo as their boss, they have been using Blue Star time to tell time.

"Boss, the one in your hand should be the main center of the formation. The other eight are distributed throughout the city. In order to avoid being easily discovered, they must have been covered when they were placed. Let's go, boss. Let's go now without wasting time."

Su Mo is of course satisfied with the employees' active work.

"Okay, take the formation plate first, I'll leave this matter to you."

Liu Moxi put the stone slab on the table into his storage ring, immediately changed into clothes that were convenient for work, and followed Su Mo out of the space.

Thinking that there were other people in the Sand City, Su Mo found an invisibility talisman and handed it to her, "Use this. If you see other people in the city, it is best to avoid them and not cause trouble."

"Others? Boss, are you saying that there are other people from Blue Star here?" Liu Moxi was a little surprised. After all, she had never seen other people from Blue Star.

"Well, be careful when you do things."

"Don't worry, boss. I'll be careful." She knew that her boss didn't want them, the people from Suzhou, to have contact with other people from Blue Star, and she wouldn't go against her boss's wishes. But, if they did come across them, she'd just take a look, right? It wouldn't be a problem.

Liu Moxi left the City Lord's Mansion with curiosity.

Su Mo watched her disappear before he left and headed straight out of the city. She might not come back to this secret place again, so it would be a good idea to go out of the city and get some poison crystals now.

She walked out of the city and walked outside the city for a while, and she saw traces of many people. They looked like they had just come in.

"Haha, it looks like it's quite lively outside right now, with quite a few people coming in. Now that Skyfire is gone and Nightmare is gone, they're much safer."

The biggest crisis in this secret realm right now should be the insects under the desert, right?

When she passed by those people, she just took a look at them and left quickly.

But after wandering around for a long time, she became confused.

How come she didn't even encounter a single bug! ?

"What the hell, it wasn't like this before..." Thinking about the experience of being surrounded and attacked by insect swarms three times in a row within an hour, this must not be normal.

It would not be correct to say that the insects had stopped hunting.

She had just seen someone fighting with a bug.

Su Mo kept changing positions, frowning as he thought.

"Those bugs wouldn't be avoiding me on their own initiative. Could they be afraid of being killed by me?"

Glancing at her warehouse, Su Mo saw that there was only a small pile of poison crystals. She didn't think that such a small amount would be enough to make the insects afraid of her and avoid her.

Seeing that Su Mo couldn't figure it out, Xiaota expressed his opinion.

"It may be caused by the pressure of the insects. You have the scent of the nightmare insect. The beetles in the desert are not high-level creatures, so it's not surprising that they would avoid you."

Su Mo "..."

She narrowed her eyes, thinking of what Long Tao said about the bugs not chasing them after they entered the city. Xiaota had also said before that there were bugs active in the city before, but it seemed that they disappeared after the nightmare was unsealed. It seemed that this was indeed related.

"When Jiang Li and the others left, they also had the scent of Pang Pang on them. I think the danger level will be reduced a lot."
