Chapter 313: Isn’t it aimed at him?
This is their only chance of survival, with less than a day left.
Ji Xingle said: "So should we go find the center of the formation now?"
Gao Fei said, "It's not that simple. Xiaohan can come in and out normally because she may be related to the people inside, so she can come out as a living person. But we are different. We are excluded from the outside by the entire magic circle. If we go in rashly, we may really be left there forever."
Jian Yue asked: "Is there a safer way?"
Li Meng said, "It's just daybreak now, and it's not the heaviest time for Yin energy. Wait until noon, when Yin energy is extremely concentrated. We should then paste a talisman paper to suppress Yang energy and seal the breath of living people. This way, we may be able to sneak in without being discovered by the monsters."
"Li Meng and I will go in." Gao Fei said, "At least the two of us can handle emergencies. Let's go in and find the eye of the formation, and pray for the souls of the dead. See if we can find an exit for them."
Jian Yue asked directly: "Are you two the only ones going in? There's no one outside to help. What if something goes wrong?"
Little Leo also said: "Isn't it too dangerous?"
Gao Fei said, "I have been in contact with some things since I was a child, so my physique is extremely yin, so I can last a little longer after entering. In fact, before entering this instance, our Emperor Guild has already paid attention to this instance. From a long time ago, I felt that the Feng Shui of this building must have a story, so I brought Xiao Lizi in."
Little Leo said: "Before we came in, we just thought that even if it existed, it would probably be a place like an underground palace, and we just needed to be fully prepared. But we didn't expect that after we came in, every level here is extremely dangerous."
"There is no copy in the nightmare world that is not dangerous." Gao Fei said, "But since we are here, we must do it."
The crowd was frightened and all sighed with emotion.
Only Jian Yue said: "Are you done? If you are done, say something useful. Don't you have any props to get in touch with us?"
Gao Fei: “…Yes.”
The noble and cold Vice President of the Emperor Guild was talked about like an elementary school student in front of Jian Yue.
Jian Yue looked like he knew it, and said to Li Meng, "Are you ready?"
Li Meng nodded, took out two pieces of talisman paper from his arms, handed one of them to Gao Fei and said, "Drop your blood on it."
Gao Fei used a dagger to draw the drops across his fingertips.
After Li Meng dealt with it again, he said, "Okay, these two pieces of talisman paper are for you. If these two pieces of talisman paper burn by themselves, it means we are gone."
Little Leo said: "This thing is amazing, how did you do it?"
Li Meng said: "I learned it from my master. If you want to learn it, I can teach you after we get out. But you have to worship me as your master and join our guild. I can't teach people from other guilds casually."
Little Li immediately asked, "What other benefits are there to having you as my teacher? Isn't it more than just learning this talisman? Are there any talismans that can bring wealth or romance?"
Li Meng thought for a moment and said, "Yes, I do..."
Little Li immediately said, "I will become your disciple when I get back!"
Li Meng: “…”
Gao Fei: “…”
Audience: “…”
Isn’t this how you, Yuese, usually recruit people?
Gao Fei laughed angrily. He looked at Little Li and said sarcastically, "Aren't you satisfied with your love life? Do you think I'm going in, so you don't have any worries at all?"
Little Leo looked at him and said, "Then you have to come out alive before you can take care of me."
Gao Fei snorted.
"You must come out alive." Little Leo said, "If you die, I will have many romantic opportunities."
Gao Fei said: "Hope I'm okay. I won't die that easily. I have a lot of self-protection tools. Don't worry too much. It makes me feel like I'm going to be martyred."
Everyone then began to smile.
In fact, because there are only a dozen hours left before the copy is closed, they may fail the mission at any time, and their lives may be in danger at any time. A depressing and heavy atmosphere weighs on everyone's heart, so smiling is actually a rare emotion at this time.
Jian Yue said: "Go in quickly when the time is up, don't waste time."
Gao Fei: “…”
Everyone sat there waiting until noon. At this moment, the Yin Qi began to rise. At the moment when the Yin and Yang Qis intersected, Li Meng took out talismans and pasted them on two places on his shoulders and between his eyebrows. He said to Gao Fei, "These three talismans can seal the three fires on your body. In fact, the most obvious way for monsters to identify people is through the fire in their hearts. Remember not to take off the talismans. If you fall off a talisman, immediately take off the other talismans. Sometimes human Qi can also shock some things and delay time."
Gao Fei nodded: "I remember."
Two people entered the passage, and the people outside sat and waited.
Ji Xingle was a little worried. He was the most anxious one. The relationship between him and Li Meng was no longer as pure as friendship. He was even so anxious that he couldn't sit still and paced back and forth.
Tiantian sighed and said, "Brother Li, you made me feel dizzy when I left."
Ji Xingle said embarrassedly: "Sorry."
"Butler Wang, will they be okay?" Ji Xingle said, "It's been three hours now, and it's going to be dark soon. If we find the center of the formation, can we free the things below and pass it?"
Jian Yue said: "In theory, this is the case."
Ji Xingle was just about to breathe a sigh of relief.
"But many things don't make sense." Jian Yue looked at the entrance of the passage with a dark look in his eyes. He said, "As long as the talisman paper has not been burned, just wait."
Everyone was silent.
Because they know that all they can do now is wait.
Time passes by little by little.
Tiantian was the first to say, "The color of the paper has changed. It's turned red!"
Everyone stepped forward immediately and saw that the talisman paper had changed color, but at least it did not burn. However, it was enough to make people's hearts sink, and everyone fell into a brief silence.
Tiantian said with some fear: "Are they in danger?"
Ji Xingle immediately said: "Then we have to go rescue them!"
Little Li's face was also very cold. Gao Fei was already a very important person to him, but at this moment, he showed a rare calmness. He said, "Have you forgotten what Li Meng said? This passage is not accessible to ordinary people. Even these two experienced people are in danger. Do you want to die by going there?"
Everyone froze.
Because what Leo said is right, if they enter now it would be like moths to a flame.
"Then what should we do..." Tiantian murmured, "Should we do nothing?"
Everyone subconsciously looked at Jian Yue. They didn't know when, but they had gotten used to asking Jian Yue for his opinion. Although Jian Yue didn't talk the most, everything he said and the decisions he made were definitely well thought out.
Jian Yue said, "Wait a little longer. The talisman paper hasn't burned yet. Don't go in yet."
Ji Xingle was the most anxious. He said, "What if we are just in danger now and wasted time because of our delay?"
This is also a problem.
Jian Yue raised his eyelids and looked at him and said, "Don't worry, because if they can't get out, in less than eight hours, all of us will die together. What order does it matter?"
Ji Xingle was completely speechless, because Jian Yue was right, no one here wanted to live on their own, they just had no other choice.
Jian Yue said: "Wait another hour. If they don't come out, I'll go down."
Tiantian immediately said, "How can you do that? It's too dangerous to go down here!"
Jian Yue said calmly, "I have had poor eyesight since I was a child, but I am actually more adapted to dark environments. It is very dark in the passage. Once you lose your vision, you will panic. My job has also allowed me to see many tragic scenes. And, at this time, whoever dies is dead. I said, there is no order of precedence."
This sentence persuaded everyone.
Tiantian finally sighed and said, "Okay."
Ji Xingle said, "I'll go with you."
Jian Yue nodded, and Little Li also came over, but Jian Yue said, "You stay."
Little Leo was puzzled: "Why?!"
Jian Yue said: "If all of us are trapped in there, someone will need to look after us here. If we need help from outside, there must be someone outside who can stand up. You outside are the hope for those of us who are inside."
Little Leo looked at Jian Yue for a long time, then he hugged Jian Yue and said, "Live well, or not, it's okay. We'll come find you in a few hours."
Jian Yue said: "I hope you won't come, but I hope I will come to you even more."
Little Leo smiled and punched him.
Tiantian said: "I'll go with you. If there's any danger, I can teleport and bring you out."
"Okay." Jian Yue said, "Let's go."
Jian Yue turned around and crawled towards the entrance of the passage. They didn't have talisman paper, so the danger was definitely much greater than that of Li Meng and the others. Ji Xingle crawled behind him. After crawling forward for a while, the passage forked. Ji Xingle asked in confusion: "Butler Wang, which way should we go?"
Jian Yue, who was standing at the fork in the road, began to touch the walls on both sides. After a long while, he said, "This way, no matter where Gao Fei went, he would leave a trace of his wings when he passed by the fork. They went here."
Ji Xingle hurried to follow.
The further you go, the colder you feel, and the more powerless you feel.
Especially Ji Xingle.
Ji Xingle was not in good health to begin with, but he still saved up the healing opportunities of the cards, just to save them for use later on people who might be injured.
When they were almost in front, they finally saw a little light, and Jian Yue said, "There are people ahead."
Ji Xingle was shocked and finally came to his senses. He asked, "Where is it?"
The surroundings were apparently very quiet, but Jian Yue's ears moved slightly, and he heard the sound of footsteps. Jian Yue stood quietly where he was, and then he saw a figure slowly appearing at the entrance of the passage. This figure was wearing a somewhat worn uniform, and his body was stained with blood. He was definitely not either Li Meng or Gao Fei.
But that figure walked straight towards Jian Yue and the others.
The closer you get, the stronger the smell of blood becomes.
Tiantian had already held her breath because the smell was so strong. She even admired Jian Yue for being able to remain so expressionless!
Finally, the bloody man slowly stopped in front of the two people. His eyes were full of bloodstains. He just stared at Jian Yue and the other two, then slowly said: "I can't find the exit."
Jian Yue and Ji Xingle were originally a little wary, and were stunned after hearing this.
"Where is the exit..." The bloody man said slowly, "Why can't I find the exit? When I came in, I just said I was going to repair something and then leave. Why can't I find the exit?"
Blood was dripping from his body.
He kept repeating this sentence, and the blood that fell down seemed to turn into black shadows, which slowly wrapped around the feet of Jian Yue and the other man.
"Where is the exit?" the bloody man asked, "Where is the exit? Tell me, where is the exit?"
Ji Xingle felt that he could not move at all.
They had no clue of the exit and no way to answer such a difficult question. Ji Xingle could feel his safety value dropping rapidly as the monsters approached. Especially since neither of them had any cards with strong combat power, they could not defeat this bloody man at all!
The audience in the live broadcast room also said excitedly:
"Maru spicy!"
"This time it's completely cold!"
"Their force levels are not even on the same level!"
"They don't have any clues either!"
Just when everyone thought there was no hope this time.
Jian Yue said: "I know where the exit is, but you tied me up here and we can't move at all. So, you follow us and we will take you out."
The words fell.
The bloody man was stunned for a moment. He probably didn't expect Jian Yue to really say that, but he still answered.
Ji Xingle, who was behind him, whispered, "Do we really know?"
"It's better to delay it as long as possible." Jian Yue said, "Anyway, you have to choose between dying later and dying now."
Ji Xingle: “…”
Why does it feel so reasonable?
They walked forward.
Along the way, they encountered more and more bloody people. Gradually, Jian Yue could feel that the marks left by Gao Fei at every fork in the road were becoming more and more urgent. It seemed that their talisman paper was slowly becoming ineffective.
Just when the two of them were getting a little tired of walking, they finally arrived at the end of the passage.
Seeing a huge pit, Ji Xingle said happily: "They should be right below!"
Jian Yue held Ji Xingle back.
Ji Xingle asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"
"Take a look at the ground." Jian Yue said.
When Ji Xingle lowered his head, his whole scalp felt tingling, because he didn't know when the surroundings were filled with bright red blood and white bones. These bones and blood were rushing towards the two people from all sides, and behind them were the bloody people following them.
Just now, as soon as Ji Xingle walked forward, the ground in front of him was covered with blood shadows, and he might be surrounded in the next second.
Ji Xingle said: "What's going on? Doesn't that mean we can't go anywhere?"
Tiantian said: "Look ahead!"
They finally saw figures in the front. They were Li Meng and Gao Fei. They were also unable to move because of the blood. Li Meng saw them and asked, "Why are you here?"
Jian Yue said: "Don't worry about this for now. Have you two found the center of the formation?"
Gao Fei shouted loudly: "Found it, the formation below is definitely not a normal human tomb. This is a formation, a large formation. This formation will trap all souls and people who enter it, and this formation hates outsiders very much, so any strangers who come in will be excluded, but they cannot leave."
Jian Yue frowned and asked, "Is there a way to crack it?"
"No, this formation is much more complicated than I imagined, but I have seen it in a book before. That book was left by the ancients. This formation is a soul-locking formation. Generally, it can be destroyed by guiding the thunder tribulation method. But the energy of this formation is too strong, and the resentment is too deep," Li Meng said, "We don't know what to do!"
Jian Yue said: "Then go back first, leave first, if you continue to stay now you will die."
Gao Fei said loudly: "Listen to me, Li Meng and I just studied it and we have completely figured it out. The formation of this tomb should have been originally intended to lock up the souls inside, but when the construction started, these people must have damaged the things outside the tomb, causing the formation to lock up people indiscriminately. So now we have to destroy the eye of the formation and repair the formation!"
Li Meng nodded quickly and said, "Yes! I want to use the talisman paper to open the eye of this formation and see which corner of the formation is broken. I have seen the complete drawing method of the Soul Locking Formation in that book. I can fill in the missing part, but it is too dark down there and we can't see anything!"
Jian Yue said almost without hesitation: "I'll go."
Li Meng and Gao Fei were both stunned.
Jian Yue said, "I have been blind since childhood and have lived in darkness for many years. My hearing is very good and I am used to groping in the dark. I am the most suitable person to go. You just need to tell me what I will do after I go in."
Gao Fei said: "But..."
"There is no time to hesitate now." Jian Yue said: "If we don't go, everyone will die."
Li Meng was quite decisive. She said, "After you go in, just keep walking forward. When you reach the center of the formation, you may see the appearance of this large tomb, but the most important thing is that you have to remember the patterns on the formation stones!"
Jian Yue immediately nodded and said, "Okay."
Tiantian said quickly: "Butler Wang, I will go with you. I can't see either, but I can follow you. If you are in any danger, I can teleport you out directly! My cards are accumulated twice, which is safer!"
Jian Yue shook his head and said, "If I don't come out, you can teleport them out. There are still four hours left. You can think of other ways."
Tiantian shouted out loudly immediately, "If we want to live, let's live together. Aren't we friends? There's no reason for friends to abandon each other! You saved Wang Kun and I. We went through so many dungeons together. If we left you alone in the end, we might as well be dead!"
Jian Yue was shocked.
Li Meng also said immediately: "Let's go together. We can have someone to look after us. If you are alive, the possibility of all of us being alive will be greater. Butler Wang, we all need you. You have long been an indispensable part of us. Without you, none of us would have come this far, so there is no way we would abandon you."
Jian Yue was silent for a moment and said, "Then let's go down together."
The golden card in Gao Fei's hand flashed with golden light: "Heaven and earth, the location of the array's core, the location of the array's core..."
The props in his hand were shaking, and finally he pointed to a place in the pit. The talismans in Li Meng's hand flew over in unison, streaking red blood light in the air. In just a moment, she shouted, "Tiantian, get through!"
Tiantian used teleportation to bring Jian Yue directly into the blood light, and everything happened in just a moment.
The two people entered the bloody light and felt as if countless bloody smells were blowing towards them. The next second, the smell around them dissipated and they fell down onto a stone path.
Tomb passage.
Jian Yue reacted immediately. He fell all the way down and when he finally stopped, he saw the murals carved on the stone road. There were auspicious clouds everywhere and countless rare and exotic animals. They all made him feel very strange. But the strange thing was that he didn't feel very strange. He just watched quietly.
Tiantian panted beside him, "The formation stone is out! Wow, this must be the formation stone of the tomb owner. It's such a big stone!"
The stone drew a huge pattern. In order to prevent himself from forgetting, Jian Yue took out a pen and paper from the mall and drew it quickly, which made it easier for Li Meng to complete the formation.
Tiantian suddenly shouted, "Butler Wang! The bloody shadow! On the ground! It's spreading again!"
Gao Fei and Li Meng opened the formation by force, and the formation backfired and repelled outsiders. When they sensed the fog, they immediately rushed up. In order to record the pattern, Jian Yue stood closest to the crowd, and he was almost completely surrounded.
Tiantian wanted to run over immediately: "Wang..."
Jian Yue shouted, "Don't come over here!"
Tiantian was so frightened that she stood still. Jian Yue was standing in the innermost stone path. It was very dark in there, with only the light from the formation pattern illuminating people a little. With the help of the dim light, she saw Jian Yue from afar, throwing a booklet at her.
"Teleport out!" Jian Yue said, "Bring it to Li Meng!"
Tiantian said in despair: "No..."
Jian Yue immediately said, "Hurry up, don't delay, the virus is about to spread to you. If you are left behind, all the people waiting for us outside will die. Do you want everyone to die here because of us? What are you doing standing there? Let's go!!"
Sweet tears were already falling, and she said, "Okay... I understand..."
There was a flash of light, and then everything around became dark again.
When Jian Yue was waiting for the blood shadows to entangle him like the black shadows in the passage, the darkness around him seemed to become silent. The light of the pattern did not dim, but illuminated the surroundings. He saw the blood shadows slowly fade away, and they faded away after Tiantian left.
?
What's the meaning?
Jian Yue stood there with some confusion. Those blood shadows were meant to force Tiantian to leave, not to target him?
But……
Why?
Because it was quiet here and he had more time, Jian Yue simply looked at the pattern of the magic circle carefully. After memorizing it all, he was about to turn around and continue walking outside. However, when the light flashed, he found that there was a stone tablet behind the array stone, which should be left by the tomb owner for himself.
Jian Yue was a little curious, an inexplicable curiosity, so he walked closer. After seeing the words clearly, he froze in place.
