Gu Ze stood up, walked a short distance forward, and pointed to a spot, saying, "This is it."
There was a puddle there, probably the outlet of an underground river, with bubbles rising to the surface.
Gu Zeyi made a hand seal above, and a sealing array suddenly appeared on the water's surface!
"Jin Er suddenly fainted while trying to break the seal."
Cat went over and took a look. This sealing formation was no weaker than Whale Sea's Four Directions Life and Death Formation. It did not have offensive or destructive power, but its energy was very large.
Gu Zeyi and Ye Mingshi's abilities are not enough to open it, which is probably why they have been staying here for the past few days.
Jiu Yebai came over in amazement, looking left and right. This was the first time he had ever seen such a powerful sealing array. It was hard to imagine that there was something real hidden in this array that looked like a digital projection!
Suddenly, the cat said, "You all step back a little."
The three of them immediately looked at the cat, "Cat, can you break this sealing formation?!"
The cat nodded. "Isn't this what you came here for? Take it and head back to Beijing right away."
She didn't want Ah Jin to remain unconscious there any longer.
The three of them immediately took a few steps back.
Ye Mingshi cautiously added, "Kitty, why don't you reconsider? What if you fall into a coma like Jin Er?"
The cat said, "After I pass out, you guys can decide what to do."
Why talk about useless things when we haven't even tried them yet?
Ye Mingshi fell silent.
The cat made a hand seal and suddenly thrust it into the magic circle. Almost instantly, a continuous stream of energy overflowed from the sealing magic circle, and it grew stronger and stronger!
After a while, the sealing array suddenly disappeared completely! What appeared in its place was a small box!
The cat quickly caught the box that was about to fall into the water.
Ye Mingshi and the other two immediately came over. "Holy crap, is this the Eight Gates Secret Technique? I've been looking for it for years! Open it and take a look."
Jiu Yebai's imagination ran wild. "Wait, could there be some kind of trap? Maybe it's filled with bombs or something?"
Ye Mingshi said, "Don't be ridiculous, this is an Eight Gates secret technique! The sealing formation was also left by the ancestors of the Eight Gates. Would they leave a bomb to blow up their own descendants?"
Kuya Shiro: "That's true... then let's open it!"
Cat returned to Mu Jin's side with the box. She sat down but didn't open it immediately. Instead, she examined it for a while and then felt around on the surface of the box.
Suddenly, some gaps popped open on the top of the box!
Gu Ze stepped forward and took a look. "This... is a jigsaw puzzle?"
"There really is a mechanism here!" Kuya Shiro exclaimed.
The cat said, "This is also a Luban box. The eight notches on it are not puzzle pieces, but keys."
"The key? So, we still can't open this box? Our ancestors were really making things difficult for us. We've already got it, where did we get the key?"
The cat replied, "I have the key."
As she spoke, she rummaged through Jiu Yebai's backpack and took out a few items.
"Huh, are these bamboo pieces from the Luban box?"
The cat had already inserted the bamboo strips into the notches on the surface of the box, seven in total, and they fit perfectly!
Ye Mingshi exclaimed in surprise, "It really is a key! These bamboo pieces are all different shapes and sizes. I thought it was because of the map, but I didn't expect it to be a key!"
After saying that, Ye Mingshi looked frustrated, "But we're missing one! The last Luban Box is with the fifth shop. In the end, we still have to get that box?"
Cat took the seven bamboo strips down, put the box back in its original position, and said decisively, "I've got everything, let's go back now!"
As she spoke, the cat went to carry the wood shavings.
Jiu Yebai immediately went over to help him support himself, saying, "Let me do it, he's so heavy!"
The cat didn't argue with him, and helped Mu Jin onto Jiu Yebai's back.
Gu Zeyi extinguished the fire and picked up his equipment to leave.
When Ye Mingshi arrived at the cave entrance, he saw that the rope was still there when Maomao and the others came down. "Hey, perfect, then we don't need to go up and tie the rope first."
They had already secured several nails to the rock face when they came down, in preparation for when they went out.
“We’ll go up first. Jiu Yebai will carry Jin Er on his back and secure him with a rope. Then we’ll pull you up,” Gu Zeyi said.
It's absolutely impossible to carry Jin Er up there on your back. The best way is for someone above and below to work together to pull him up.
Gu Zeyi and Ye Mingshi tested the rope and quickly climbed up first.
After a while, Jiu Yebai took the rope and planned to tie him and Mu Jin together.
However, the cat suddenly came over, pulled Mu Jin over, and put her arm around his arm. "No need for that. I'll take A Jin upstairs."
Just as Jiu Yebai was about to ask her how she could have such a bold idea, he saw Maomao suddenly make a hand seal! Suddenly, layers of intertwined threads appeared on the rock wall, rapidly extending upwards!
This is the essential technique of stringing silk!
Yeah, how could he forget? Cats have a lot of cheat codes!
"Hurry up and go up," the cat urged.
Jiu Yebai didn't waste any more time. He grabbed the rope and used the silk-pulling technique to climb it, almost like climbing stairs.
Soon, Maomao also led Mujin upstairs.
"Holy crap!" Ye Mingshi exclaimed from the bottom of his heart, "Can the Silk-Pulling Technique be passed on to outsiders? This is practically an essential skill for traveling!"
"Stop talking nonsense, carry Ah Jin on your back and walk carefully," Maomao said.
It was Jiu Yebai who carried her. Carrying someone wouldn't be a problem, but it's uncomfortable for Maomao now that she's completely using them as tools! Hearing this, are you worried they'll shake Mu Jin?
