Next, they were heading to a place that promised to be fraught with peril.
This place was known as the Death Canyon, and no one knew its true depth or length.
All that was known was that it teemed with countless peculiar demonic beasts, and the natural conditions within were extremely harsh. Coupled with the mutual devouring among these strange beasts, the area was exceptionally dangerous.
It was unexpected that the giant egg's hint pointed precisely to this Death Canyon. If it truly was the Death Canyon, then Ye Ningze and his companions might embark on a journey from which there would be no return.
After all, this was not a place that just anyone could venture into. Those who dared to come here had to be at least Grandmaster level martial artists.
Otherwise, survival in such a place would be impossible.
While Ye Ningze could not elevate them to that realm in a short period, he did have a way to equip them with the ability to protect themselves within this treacherous environment.
Ye Ningze selected some skilled individuals, and so did Su Xue. Together, they led over two hundred people, departing from the Sun Base in a grand procession.
As their primary objective this time was training, they did not travel at a rapid pace.
Along the way, they continuously hunted demonic beasts, practicing a peculiar formation. This formation was designed to maximize their combat power to the absolute limit.
Most importantly, it enabled them to ensure their own safety amidst complex and perilous situations.
This was the true reason Ye Ningze had them practice this formation.
Furthermore, within this formation, there were two pivotal roles, held by Liu Qichao and Li Mingbo.
These two individuals led separate formations, one embodying Yin and the other Yang, one focusing on offense and the other on defense.
They truly pushed the concepts of Yin and Yang to their extreme. Seated in the vehicle, Ye Ningze and Su Xue watched as these individuals continuously unleashed their strengths.
After a moment, Su Xue turned to Ye Ningze and said:
"What is this formation called? Why is it so miraculous? It allows them to unleash their powers to such an extent, making them seem like a single entity capable of surviving dangerous situations."
Su Xue, of course, was unaware of the immense benefits Ye Ningze had gained from his inheritance, and thus could not comprehend the terrifying power that fully manifested from these legacies.
The formation Ye Ningze had them practice was indeed one obtained from his inheritance. This formation was called the Yin-Yang Six Harmony Grand Formation, embodying the principles of heaven and earth, capable of maximizing the power drawn from the environment and from one's companions.
Su Xue had naturally noticed the formation's unique qualities, which prompted her question to Ye Ningze. Ye Ningze, however, did not offer extensive explanations, as such concepts were difficult to convey. The ancient civilization was vast and brilliant.
It shone as brightly as the stars in the sky, and not everyone could grasp the unique nature of ancient civilizations.
Ye Ningze looked at the people before him and slowly shook his head, saying to Su Xue:
"What do you think of their performance?"
Su Xue, speaking truthfully, replied to Ye Ningze:
"In my opinion, these individuals have trained diligently, and to achieve such results in such a short time is quite surprising."
However, to everyone's surprise, Ye Ningze shook his head and sighed, then said:
"Perhaps that is how it appears to you, and it is not incorrect. But in my eyes, it is far from enough. You must know how terrifying the Death Canyon is, even without me needing to say it. Therefore, we must fully unleash the efficacy of this formation, or we will have no chance of survival. Please remember, we are not taking them there to die."
Upon hearing Ye Ningze's words, Su Xue fell silent. Indeed, she did not wish to lead these people to their deaths.
However, casualties were sometimes unavoidable, especially in places where rare treasures were abundant.
What Ye Ningze and his group aimed to do was to train the individuals before them by any means necessary in such a location, ensuring their survival.
As they chatted, the team continued to press forward. What had been a calm journey soon took a turn as they encountered a rather tricky situation.
Their prey, which they had been hunting, began to counter-attack them.
It wasn't that the people under Ye Ningze were too weak or lacked strength.
Rather, the group of demonic beasts they faced were not ordinary; they were a pack of wolf-like beasts.
It was well-known that these demonic beasts possessed a characteristic of remarkable coordination. They operated as a cohesive unit, capable of easily capturing their prey.
Precisely because of this, these demonic beasts were sometimes far more cunning than humans imagined.
Now, due to their numerical advantage, they had transitioned from prey to predators. To be honest, Ye Ningze was not surprised at all.
Instead, Ye Ningze was curious to see how his subordinates would respond. After a considerable time, Su Xue finally spoke to Ye Ningze:
"Don't you want to help them? If they cannot defeat these demonic beasts, it will be quite troublesome for us."
Ye Ningze slowly shook his head, responding with an indifferent expression:
"If they cannot even handle this matter, then if I help them once, will I be able to help them forever?"
Su Xue seemed to find merit in Ye Ningze's words, and after he spoke, she fell into silence.
For her, Ye Ningze always saw the essence of matters. He knew what should be done and what should not be done, and he was clearer than anyone about his own needs and the needs of his teammates.
From this aspect alone, Ye Ningze was a highly qualified leader, at least far more qualified than herself.
Therefore, Su Xue held Ye Ningze in high regard and was genuinely convinced by his judgment.
As expected, after a moment, the people under Ye Ningze immediately turned the tide, seizing the opportunity to suppress the wolf-like demonic beasts.
By utilizing the cooperative efforts of the two formations, they quickly managed to completely disrupt the wolf-like demonic beasts' assault.
Their originally coordinated formation, due to this disruption, completely lost its initial offensive rhythm.
If they were acting individually, they might still be able to cope with their enemies to some extent, but when facing a large number of opponents, rhythm became crucial. Witnessing the shift in the battle, Su Xue let out a sigh of admiration.
