The Bagua Illusion Array, as the name suggests, means that those inside the array mostly see illusions.

However, compared to ordinary illusionary arrays that are all illusions, the Bagua Illusion Array is more powerful because it mixes the real and the illusory within the array.

What appears to be a phantom image may also contain real images, making it difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake.

Just like the dozens of bamboo vipers swimming towards Su Ruojin, there is a high probability that some of them are real ones.

If you are careless and get bitten a few times, you will definitely die from poisoning.

However, if you can't distinguish between the real and fake snakes and focus all your energy on dealing with each snake, you'll quickly run out of energy.

As long as the formation remains intact, the snakes in our eyes will never be completely eradicated.

Seeing the increasing number of bamboo vipers, Su Ruojin didn't have time to think about it. She took out the powder, sprinkled it on the ground, and then rubbed some on her body.

At least this method can easily distinguish between real and fake snakes.

Sure enough, seven or eight bamboo vipers in the snake swarm seemed to have smelled the medicinal powder and retreated.

The other snakes seemed completely oblivious and continued to crawl towards him.

Once she identified her target, she didn't hesitate any longer and shot out several silver needles.

The few bamboo vipers that had retreated fell to the ground and rolled around for a while before becoming still.

Su Ruojin patted her sleeve lightly and called out softly, "Mao Mao."

Mao Mao's little head popped out from the sleeve, staring at Su Ruojin with big eyes, as if asking her what was wrong.

Su Ruojin pointed to the motionless bamboo viper on the ground: "Mao Mao, do you want to eat these?"

"Woof woof~" Mao Mao barked and jumped onto the fattest bamboo viper, starting to gnaw on it.

However, it only ate a small portion before returning, its eyes full of disdain.

Su Ruojin understood; Mao Mao disliked the bamboo vipers because they weren't poisonous enough and didn't taste good.

Mao Mao crawled back into her sleeve pocket and continued sleeping.

The real bamboo vipers are all dead, and the phantoms, having no more objects to imitate, have all disappeared as well.

But the bamboo forest still exists.

Su Ruojin knew she had to find a way to break the formation quickly. She knew the formation could avoid poisonous creatures, but that didn't mean her fifth brother and the other guards knew.

Moreover, each formation corresponds to a different illusion, so it would be troublesome if they accidentally hurt each other.

Su Ruojin carefully observed the bamboo in front of her. It seemed very dense, growing in clusters, and the position of each cluster was regular.

After realizing the problem, Su Ruojin began to take three steps to the left and seven steps to the right, walking with a different gait.

Finally, she stood in front of a clump of bamboo in the bamboo forest.

Compared to other bamboo, this clump of bamboo is rather short and stands out inconspicuously among the other bamboo species.

If she hadn't walked up to it using the Bagua walking technique, she would have completely ignored its existence.

"So it was you." Su Ruojin pulled a dagger from her boot and began to slash at the clump of bamboo.

Although the dagger is small, it can cut through iron like mud, so cutting these bamboo stalks is a piece of cake.

With a few quick thuds, the entire clump of bamboo collapsed.

As the bamboo fell, the entire formation broke.

The next moment, Su Ruojin's vision blurred, and the scene of Yunquan Manor returned.

She turned her head and saw Fifth Brother lying on the ground, with two guards fighting each other.

Another guard kept jumping, as if dodging something under his feet.

"Wake up, everyone!" Su Ruojin shouted.

Startled by her voice, everyone seemed to wake up, their hands stopped moving, and their eyes were still somewhat confused.

Su Ruojin hurried to check on Fifth Brother.

If Fifth Brother were to encounter a snake trap like I have, and get bitten a few times, that would be troublesome.
