Xiao Feng still wanted to take action against Taotie.
Zhao Yuwei suddenly spoke up: "Don't make a move yet. I've figured out some of the tricks to this formation. We might need to rely on the power of the Taotie to get out smoothly in a while."
Upon hearing Zhao Yuwei's words, Xiao Feng immediately stopped what he was doing, kicked Taotie, and then walked to Zhao Yuwei's side.
Xiao Feng knew that Zhao Yuwei's research on formations was more profound than his own, so he squatted down next to Zhao Yuwei and watched her deduce how to break the formation.
After Zhao Yuwei had been deducing for half an hour, she stretched her stiff muscles and then said, "Breaking this formation is not easy."
"This formation is interconnected, and it is only because we have not triggered it that it is not attacking us."
"But if we want to pick the Dragon Blood Fruit, or try to get out of the formation, the formation will immediately attack us. Judging from the patterns on the formation, its attack power is probably not weak."
Upon hearing Zhao Yuwei's words, Xiao Feng immediately turned to look at Taotie: "You really don't know how to dispel the formation?"
Taotie immediately retorted, "If I had known, how could I have been trapped here? I would have gotten out of here long ago."
"I really just passed by here before and knew there was a dragon blood fruit tree here. I really don't know what this formation is all about!"
Xiao Feng would never believe Taotie's words.
When they were looking for the treasure, Taotie had planned to trick them.
However, the Taotie failed to trap them each time.
Xiao Feng taught Taotie a lesson countless times along the way.
Unexpectedly, even though he wasn't beaten that day, Taotie reverted to his old ways.
Xiao Feng was certain that Taotie knew exactly how to escape from the formation.
"I see you really won't learn your lesson until you're faced with a death sentence. Should I remind you again? I can absorb all your cultivation at any time, so you'd better not try anything funny with me," Xiao Feng threatened Taotie.
Taotie's face stiffened, but it still stubbornly said, "Since you've already said that my life and death are in your hands, how could I dare to lie to you? If I don't know the situation here, I simply don't know. Even if you kill me, I still won't know!"
Xiao Feng had already seen through Taotie's disguise, so he stopped wasting time and simply sneered, placing his hand on Taotie's body to absorb all of Taotie's remaining cultivation.
Taotie tried to dodge.
But Xiao Feng was merely activating a secret technique.
Taotie immediately felt unbearable pain throughout his limbs, causing him to collapse to one knee on the ground, completely exhausted.
Xiao Feng's hand was already on Taotie's head.
Taotie was panicked and at a loss. Was he really going to shoot himself in the foot today?
He originally intended to use the question of how to leave the formation to blackmail Xiao Feng into removing the secret technique on him and freeing him.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Feng went all out and decided to absorb all of his cultivation.
Taotie quickly spoke up: "Stop! I can tell you how to break this formation, but I want to make a deal with you!"
Xiao Feng's men stopped what they were doing, glanced coldly at Taotie, and then asked, "What kind of deal do you want?"
Taotie gritted its teeth: "I want you to remove the secret spell on me and give me my freedom!"
Xiao Feng flatly refused: "That's impossible. If I were to undo the secret technique on you, who knows what tricks you would play on us afterwards?"
Taotie's eyes widened, and it said angrily, "I won't! I never want to see you despicable humans again! Just let me go, and I promise you!"
"I will never cheat you again, and I will never hurt you again. You have almost completely drained my cultivation. How could I possibly be your match!"
Taotie thought that if he yielded to Xiao Feng, Xiao Feng would release him.
Unfortunately, he still didn't understand what it meant for people to be treacherous.
Taotie was anything but honest and dutiful along the way, constantly trying to trick Xiao Feng and his companions.
If it weren't for the fact that Taotie held Xiao Feng's life in its hands, it probably would have already led Xiao Feng and the others into an even more dangerous trap.
If Xiao Feng had trusted Taotie, he would have been tricked and killed on the road long ago.
"Under another condition, I will never undo the secret technique on you. Since you won't tell us how to get out of this formation, I'll just throw you out as a shield the moment we trigger it. Think about it carefully!"
Upon hearing Xiao Feng's words, Taotie's eyes widened in disbelief that such a shameless person could exist in the world.
What he found even more unbelievable was that after saying this, Xiao Feng, without giving him any time to think, actually placed his hand back on his head and began to absorb the magical power in his body.
Taotie felt its cultivation level dwindling and was so angry it gritted its teeth.
However, he couldn't hold on for long.
He didn't want to die, so he had no choice but to submit to the hateful man in front of him.
"Stop! I'm telling you! You're not allowed to absorb my cultivation anymore!" Taotie was furious.
Xiao Feng slowly pulled his hand off Taotie's head, then looked at Taotie coldly: "Hurry up and talk."
Taotie was angry, but he also knew that his plan had failed again.
He could only reluctantly reveal how to break the formation.
Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei naturally wouldn't believe Taotie's words immediately.
After listening to Taotie's explanation of how to break the formation, Zhao Yuwei immediately began to deduce the current formation.
Taotie said incredulously, "You don't believe me? At this critical moment, why would I lie to you!"
Taotie got even angrier.
As for Zhao Yuwei, after she deduced it twice and confirmed that the method Taotie had described for breaking the formation was effective, she nodded to Xiao Feng.
Then, Zhao Yuwei formed a hand seal.
As Zhao Yuwei channeled wave after wave of magical power into the formation, the previously barely visible formation gradually shone brightly.
Even though she already knew how to break the formation, it was still quite difficult for Zhao Yuwei.
Seeing Zhao Yuwei's struggle, Su Xueqing bit her red lips lightly, but still walked to Zhao Yuwei's side and channeled her own magic power into Zhao Yuwei's body.
With Su Xueqing's support, Zhao Yuwei's hand seals were formed even faster.
As the light from the array in front of him grew brighter, Xiao Feng could feel that the array's isolation effect was weakening, which proved that the array was about to be broken.
The moment the formation was broken, Xiao Feng quickly used his immortal power to send Zhao Yuwei and the others out of the formation's range.
He quickly went up to the dragon blood fruit tree and picked all the ripe dragon blood fruits.
However, Xiao Feng discovered while picking the fruit that there were indeed guardian spirit beasts here.
However, the guardian spirit beast was a python coiled on a dragon blood fruit tree.
Dragon blood fruit trees grow very large, and their intertwined branches can easily conceal the tracks of pythons.
