Chapter 312 Entering the Boundary

After Qiao Yu and Jiang Zhan gave instructions to Yan Zijin and Xiang Heng, they took Professor Kang and Professor Shen to the car.

“Professor Kang, Professor Shen, Azhan and I are going to the village now. You stay in the car and don’t go out.”

"Okay. Xiao Qiao, don't worry, we will definitely not get off the car." Professor Kang and Professor Shen looked at each other and nodded solemnly.

To be on the safe side, Qiao Yu and Jiang Zhan blindfolded Dr. Ruan with a black cloth before leaving and left him in the car. They also locked the door of the RV with a key.

Anyway, Dr. Ruan is now unable to speak, hear, or see, so Yan Zijin, Xiang Heng and others cannot find him.

After Qiao Yu and Jiang Zhan arranged everything, they walked together into the depths of the village.

The fog around was too thick. Even though Jiang Zhan and Qiao Yu's vision was enhanced by the fruit water, it was still difficult to move forward in such a foggy night.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Jiang Zhan suddenly stopped with Qiao Yu, his eyes slightly cold, "It's just ahead."

Qiao Yu stopped and frowned, "Is it a spiritual barrier?"

"Yes." Jiang Zhan nodded, "I just tried to find the location of its body, but I couldn't find it."

Qiao Yu paused when he heard this. "What do you mean? Are you saying that... the other party's mental coverage is wider than yours?"

How is this possible?

"No." Jiang Zhan shook his head. "His real body is within the range of his spiritual barrier, so I need some time to locate it."

In order to break the mental barrier, one must find the entity that set up the mental barrier.

Although Jiang Zhan felt that theoretically the mental barrier could be broken, he just tried it and found that it didn't work.

It is very likely that his ability has not yet reached the corresponding level.

But no matter what, he can only break the other party's mental barrier by finding the real body.

"ah--"

As soon as Jiang Zhan finished speaking, a shrill scream was heard in the distance.

Qiao Yu's face darkened. "The other party has already taken action. Ah Zhan, what can I do now?"

Jiang Zhan pursed his lips, "Ayu, can your jade seed sense the location of Cheng Sinian and Yu Qingchuan?"

"Yes." Qiao Yu nodded. "Although my connection with the jade seed is a little weak now, I can still sense it if I feel it carefully."

Although there is no distance limit for the induction between Qiao Yu and the parasitic jade seed, the closer they are, the stronger the induction will be.

Although now affected by the mental barrier, the perception is much weaker than normal, but at least I can still feel it.

So it shouldn't be difficult for her to determine the location if she just walks around here.

"Okay, then you'll be responsible for sensing their location." Jiang Zhan took Qiao Yu's hand and interlocked their fingers. "I need to concentrate on finding the other party's true form now. If we're lucky, they'll attack Cheng Sinian and Yu Qingchuan before dealing with the others, and you just happen to find their location, then maybe we can have an easier time."

"But next, I need you to pull me along. Ayu, it's foggy here, so don't leave my sight."

"Okay." Qiao Yuhui shook Jiang Zhan's hand and nodded seriously.

In the short span of just over ten seconds that the two were talking, Jiang Zhan had already used his mental power to fight with the other party no less than ten times.

The opponent's mental strength is obviously not as strong as Jiang Zhan's, but it is very cunning. It weakens its own mental strength by dispersing its mental power in various places within the barrier, increasing the difficulty of Jiang Zhan's search.

Jiang Zhan closed his eyes slightly and concentrated his mind.

He trusted Qiao Yu wholeheartedly. As long as Qiao Yu pulled him along, he could completely ignore the road.

Seeing this, Qiao Yu didn't dare to disturb Jiang Zhan anymore. While paying attention to Jiang Zhan's feet, he tried hard to track the location of Cheng Sinian and Yu Qingchuan.

As time passed, a thin layer of sweat gradually appeared on Jiang Zhan's forehead, and his face began to turn slightly pale.

Such aimless mental tracking was too exhausting for him.

Qiao Yu knew that there was a barrier in front of them, so he walked along the periphery in one direction.

After walking for about fifteen or sixteen minutes, Qiao Yu finally spoke softly again: "A Zhan, I found it!"

"I found Cheng Sinian's location!"

Jiang Zhan opened his eyes instantly, his breathing quickening slightly, "Okay, then, let's go inside the barrier and look for it."

Seeing that Jiang Zhan's lips had turned pale, Qiao Yu quickly took out two bags of crystal cores from the space and stuffed them into Jiang Zhan's hands, saying distressedly, "Zhan, don't be anxious. First absorb some crystal cores to replenish your energy."

Jiang Zhan didn't waste any words. He just reached into the cloth bag and began to absorb the crystal core energy in large quantities.

Jiang Zhan finally let out a breath after absorbing all the crystal cores in the two bags. "I'm fine. Ayu, are you ready? We're going in."

"Yeah." Qiao Yu nodded and tightened his grip on Jiang Zhan's hand.

The scene inside the barrier was no different from that outside. But after entering, Qiao Yu could clearly feel the connection between him and the jade seed grow stronger.

Following the guidance of the jade seed, Qiao Yu brought Jiang Zhan and quickly arrived at the house where Cheng Sinian and Luo Zhenzhen were trapped.

After Jiang Zhan strangled the wisp of mental power that was shrouding the room, he took Qiao Yu directly into the room.

The two of them immediately saw Cheng Sinian and Luo Zhenzhen leaning against the courtyard wall.

"Si Nian, Zhen Zhen, are you okay?"

Qiao Yu walked forward with a concerned look on her face and was about to reach out to pull Luo Zhenzhen, but she saw Cheng Sinian suddenly wave his hand, and a fireball flew straight towards her.

“???” Qiao Yu looked confused, but still instinctively dodged and avoided the fireball.

Qiao Yu turned around and was about to scold Cheng Sinian, but unexpectedly, Cheng Sinian started scolding him first.

"You bastard, don't you have any other tricks?! You've already been exposed by the two of us, and you still want to pretend to be Qiao Yu and Jiang Zhan?!"

“…”

Although Qiao Yu was a little amused, she roughly understood that Cheng Sinian and Luo Zhenzhen must have been set up as an illusion by the other party, and it happened to be an illusion of her and Jiang Zhan.

Qiao Yu rubbed his forehead helplessly, "We are the real Qiao Yu and Jiang Zhan, not an illusion..."

"Bullshit! I'm telling you, I didn't get fooled just now, and I won't get fooled this time either!"

“…”

Qiao Yu was speechless for a moment and really didn't know what to say. He could only look at Jiang Zhan for help.

Jiang Zhan's face darkened noticeably from the moment Cheng Sinian threw the fireball at Qiao Yu.

Seeing that Cheng Sinian was still cursing at them, his brows immediately furrowed.

“Tsk.”

Jiang Zhan tutted impatiently and was considering whether to slap Cheng Sinian twice, but Cheng Sinian suddenly let down his guard and walked over with Luo Zhenzhen, his face full of disbelief, "...It's really Qiao Yu and Brother Zhan!"

“???” Qiao Yu was confused again.
