Chapter 410: Laying Out the Formation (2)_1
"Yeah, we’d both like to learn if possible. Ah Che, do you agree?" Loo Jie said to Situ Che.
"Mmm," Situ Che nodded, then turned to ask Situ Xin, "Baby, are you going to set up the formation now?"
"Yes, right now. Brother Che, Brother Jie, are you coming with me?" Situ Xin asked.
"Together." Situ Che and Loo Jie were worried about leaving Situ Xin alone, so both stood up and followed her.
As Situ Xin, Situ Che, and Loo Jie made their way to the spot where she intended to place the formations. Situ Xin planned to set up two formations: one was for their rest at night, fearing a surprise attack from the Poisonous Dope Gang. Though Situ Xin didn’t know what the gang’s next move would be, she guessed they wouldn’t miss such an excellent opportunity at night. They were unfamiliar with the area’s terrain, but the gang knew the geography around their lair like the back of their hand. Actually, this was why Situ Xin didn’t suggest capturing the drug gang at night. So, Situ Xin guessed they would wait until nighttime to launch a significant assault, hoping to take them all out at once. But with her present, Situ Xin thought, the gang’s plans were likely to fail.
Another formation was for the prisoners. They definitely had to leave this place tomorrow, heading for the gang’s lair. They couldn’t bring the prisoners with them because it would slow them down, but leaving them behind carried the risk of the gang coming to rescue them. So, Situ Xin had to set up two formations with both defensive and prohibitive properties.
She learned these formations from the Jade Token in her mind. Until now, she had never had a chance to use the formation arrays she learned, but this time she finally caught her opportunity. What she needed for setting up the formations were the various Spirit Stones from the cave in her space.
Following the Formation diagrams on the Jade Token, Situ Xin placed the Spirit Stones she held into their corresponding positions. Once she placed the last Spirit Stone at the formation’s focal point, the formation was truly activated.
"All done," Situ Xin said, clapping her hands.
"Is that it?" Loo Jie had heard about Formation arrays but had only heard of them. In his mind, they were profoundly mysterious, and setting up a Formation was challenging. So he was surprised to see Situ Xin easily placing the little stones seemingly at random to succeed.
"Brother Jie, the Formation array isn’t as simple as what you see. The order and position of each Spirit Stone must be flawless. Right, when we get back, I’ll give each of you a book on the introductory knowledge of Formation arrays. Once you read them, you’ll understand." Situ Xin had practiced these Formation Arrays several times in her space, which led to her success today.
