Chapter 14: Breaking the Formation (I)
"I'm fine!"
Zhui Du slowly opened his eyes and spoke suddenly.
He had just been concentrating on thinking with his eyes closed, ignoring all the sounds and movements around him. He didn't care whether he was seriously injured or not, and completely put his safety in the hands of the group of people around him who had just gotten to know him.
This was a very novel experience. Ever since he left the Wuya tribe, he had been walking alone in the world, relying entirely on himself, not trusting anyone, and not daring to put his life in danger. He concentrated on doing only one thing.
but......
Zhui Du had a barely perceptible smile on his face, his eyes were filled with warmth, and he thought to himself:
But it doesn’t feel bad!
"How do we do this?"
Mo Youli was standing next to Zhui Du. When he heard the sound Zhui Du made, he immediately stepped forward and asked.
Zhui Du turned his head to look at Mo Youli, his eyes complicated and filled with gratitude.
Mo Youli and he are both insect controllers, and are the most hated existences by these insects. It can be said that it was the appearance of Mo Youli that helped him share most of the firepower.
The most important thing is, if he hadn't met Mo Youli, and if Mo Youli hadn't insisted on helping him and mobilized other masters to assist him, he might not be able to stand here intact like he is now.
No, it should be said that the difficulty of this formation is extremely great.
Zhui Du looked away and scanned the other people present one by one:
All the people present had nothing to do with the Wuya tribe, but now, because of him, they all looked more or less disheveled and tired.
On the contrary, he himself did not put in any effort in this formation that was specially designed for him, and he was healthy and full of energy.
Zhui Du sighed from the bottom of his heart:
If it weren't for them, he would have died here alone. Even if he was lucky enough not to die, he would at least be skinned alive. How could he be like this now?
"Drug chase?"
Seeing that Zhui Du was silent for a long time, Mo Youli couldn't help but call out Zhui Du's name to call him back from his trance.
Zhui Du came back to his senses and said seriously:
"I've figured out a way to break the formation. It's actually very simple. All I need to do is find a way to get these insects to gather on the ground and form the word 'break' on the ground. Then the formation will naturally be broken."
As soon as the method came out, everyone else frowned subconsciously.
"This is quite difficult..."
Shangguan Jieshu couldn't help but sigh.
They were already overwhelmed just dealing with these transparent bugs.
How can we lure these insects to follow their ideas and find a place on the ground to form the word "broken"?
What's more, even if they could lure these insects to form the character "破" they wanted.
Their eyes can't see these transparent bugs, so how can they confirm that they are luring/luring them in the right direction?!
Xu Ren'er: "If we splash some paint on these bugs, wouldn't we be able to see them?"
Xu Ren'er also thought of Shangguan Jieshu's concerns. She thought for a moment and provided a solution.
Hearing this, Zhui Du shook his head and denied it:
"No, if splashing some paint can make these transparent bugs visible, then those old guys from the Mist Bud Clan will never choose them to set up the formation."
"Then how can we break the formation?!"
When Tang Qiuyue heard this, he scratched his head, frowned and shouted.
Everyone else was silent, and for a moment, the atmosphere seemed particularly depressing.
"Actually, there is no way out."
When everyone was at a loss, Nie Mufeng suddenly stood up and said.
As soon as these words were spoken, Nie Erfeng immediately knew what Nie Mufeng was going to do. She said in shock:
"Don't you hate sharing your eyes with other people?! You..."
Is the power of love really that great? But Xu Ren'er and Nie Mufeng had only known each other for seven days?! Nie Mufeng, Nie Mufeng, where are your principles?
"It has nothing to do with her. I just want to break the formation. If I don't take action, I'm afraid all of us will die here."
As soon as Nie Mufeng heard it, he knew what Nie Erfeng was thinking and immediately refuted it.
Nie Erfeng remained silent, but the look he gave Nie Mufeng was more complicated than ever before.
"Eyes, what eyes?"
Tang Qiuyue heard the conversation between the two and found that they had a way to break the deadlock, so she hurriedly asked.
This time, Nie Erfeng did not choose to answer for Nie Mufeng, but just stared at Nie Mufeng quietly without saying a word.
Seeing that Nie Erfeng was unwilling to explain for him, Nie Mufeng sighed inwardly, stepped forward, and took the initiative to explain the confusion to everyone:
“My eyes are naturally unable to see anything but the souls of living beings.
These bugs are completely invisible and hard to find in your eyes, but to me, they have nowhere to hide. No matter where they hide, they can't escape my eyes.
You are now worried about not being able to see these insects. I can help you and share my vision with you, but the time is limited, at most the time of a cup of tea, or even shorter.
You need to create the word "broken" in less than a cup of tea.
Otherwise, there is nothing I can do. My sharing ability can only be used once every three years.
Do you understand?
"So what's the price you're going to pay?"
Xu Ren'er looked at Nie Mufeng. He was not happy because he had found a way to crack the problem. Instead, he looked worried and asked.
Whether it was Nie Erfeng's opposing attitude or the three-year restriction that Nie Mufeng mentioned in his narration, it showed that this sharing ability was extremely exhausting for Nie Mufeng.
At this moment, Xu Ren'er felt a little touched.
"It doesn't cost anything."
It's just about overcoming the knot in my heart from the past.
This time, it was no longer Nie Mufeng who answered. Nie Erfeng walked up, pulled Nie Mufeng to his side, stood in front of Nie Mufeng, and answered on Nie Mufeng's behalf.
"Let me describe the specific operation to you. My brother once shared it with me, so I know what it is like.
Why don't you consider assigning tasks now and solve the problem of "broken" as soon as possible? "
After she finished speaking, Nie Erfeng tilted her head. An invisible insect attacked her, but she dodged it with her head tilted. The copper wire quickly flew out of her sleeve and hit the insect.
This little bug was a little pitiful. Nie Erfeng didn't know why, but he could have hit it with just one blow, but it ended up exploding. The bug's body fell to the ground and broke into pieces, scattering everywhere.
"The strength of these little bugs has begun to increase."
Nie Erfeng stared expressionlessly at the insects she had killed on the ground and continued:
"We don't have time to discuss specific details. We need to speed up. Otherwise, the longer we take, the harder it will be to kill these bugs. All of our lives will end here."
——
According to Nie Erfeng's description, when Nie Mufeng's shared vision is turned on, the left eye of the person being shared will turn dark purple, and all objects around that do not have a soul will disappear.
What you see with your left eye is only the truest appearance of the creature.
For example, when you look at a person, you no longer see the person's physical body, but a soul that is roughly the size of a human.
The soul will show different colors according to the quality of the human being. These colors will glow, and the brighter the color, the deeper the quality.
Now that we are targeting insects, the approximate size of the soul we see is naturally the size of the insect's outline.
As for the right eye, since it did not obtain Nie Mufeng's sharing mode, the field of vision it could see was still the same as before, whatever it could see was what it saw.
This model is quite beneficial for the current situation.
Whether you are purely seeing the soul mode or the normal mode, you cannot correctly judge whether these transparent bugs are pulled to the appropriate location, which naturally forms the word "broken".
When both modes are available at the same time, the left and right eyes can be switched back and forth, with the left eye quickly searching for the location of the insects and the right eye quickly guiding them to their desired location.
"Those bugs have to be alive, right?"
Shangguan Shujie asked suddenly.
Zhui Du nodded vigorously and answered patiently:
"Yes, if we are too powerful and we kill all these bugs, then we may not be able to get out of this formation at all. We must be completely alive.
The number of dead insects cannot exceed one thousand. We must gather all the remaining living insects into the desired text to completely unlock this formation."
As soon as these words came out, Tang Beiju immediately glanced around and asked, "How many have you killed?"
Shangguan Jieshu looked embarrassed, and his whole state was not good. He thought for a long time and said:
"I don't remember clearly. After all, at the time, my mind was only focused on killing insects. I didn't think about how many I killed. How should I put it, probably... a hundred..."
"One hundred and thirty-two."
As soon as Shangguan Jieshu finished speaking, Shangguan Shujie suddenly added:
"Brother killed 103, I killed 133, Mo Youli and Zhui Du didn't kill any insects, so count them as zero, Xu Ren'er killed 125, Tang Beiju killed 283, and Tang Qiuyue killed 253.
Liu Roulei, Nie Erfeng and Nie Mufeng worked together to deal with the ones on the ground, which numbered exactly one hundred.
There are nine hundred and ninety-seven in total. We haven't even reached a thousand yet. If three more come, we'll reach the limit."
Shangguan Shujie's words made everyone present silent for half a second, and then they all looked at her with shock and admiration.
People with extroverted personalities like Tang Qiuyue and Shangguan Jieshu couldn't help but exclaim "Wow".
"Shujie, you actually remember it so clearly?!"
Tang Qiuyue widened her eyes and asked.
Shangguan Shujie smiled faintly, but a barely perceptible sadness flashed across her eyes. She replied calmly:
"It's OK. My mother wants me to make progress in arithmetic, so I subconsciously pay attention to problems in this area."
Mo Youli looked at Xu Ren'er and asked:
"Ren'er, is what she said accurate?"
Xu Ren'er nodded. As the central figure responsible for the overall layout, she would naturally pay attention to these details.
She affirmed Shangguan Shujie's words on the spot and said:
"I haven't paid attention to the situation over at Nie Erfeng's place, but the people on our side who are in charge of the ground have killed exactly the number of insects Shangguan Shujie said. The number matches."
