Chapter 122: Catching a Turtle in a Jar, Fighting with Formation
Ah Jiu's small hands gently stroked the cold stone tablet, and with red eyes, he murmured softly: "Daddy... Mommy... It hurts..."
Xiao Yu felt a pang of pain in his heart, and he reached out to hold her in his arms, gently patting her back.
When the Lin family was wiped out, the huge fire that raged into the sky not only burned down an entire family, but also severed the last shackles that maintained the safety of the entire world!
No wonder Prince Yu and the Wugut tribe wanted to wipe out the Lin family!
Because as long as there is a descendant of the Lin family alive, they will never be able to truly awaken the "Heart of the Underworld"!
Chu Xuanyi's gaze finally fell on the end of the stone tablet.
"…The Netherworld Seal requires the blood of the Lin family as a guide and the energy of the nation as a medium to fully activate. If the bloodline is severed, the seal will be broken. At that time, only…"
Having said this, Chu Xuanyi's voice suddenly stopped.
Because the text at the back seemed to have been erased by a powerful external force, leaving behind a shocking blank!
"Only what?!" Xiao Yu asked anxiously, "What's written behind it?!"
"No more." Chu Xuanyi's brows were tightly locked. "Someone wiped it out."
"Erased?!" Xiao Yu was shocked. "Who did it?! Could it be...besides us, someone else has been here?"
"Impossible!" Chu Xuanyi immediately denied it. "The bewitching miasma and chain killing array outside are intact. If someone broke in, there's no way they wouldn't leave traces! This is more like..."
He stretched out his hand and gently touched the blank area, feeling the remaining breath on it.
"It's more like the Lin family's ancestors erased it themselves."
"Why?!" Xiao Yu was completely confused. "Why would you erase such important information? Could it be that the method recorded later is even more terrifying than releasing the Netherworld Heart?"
Chu Xuanyi was silent.
He had a vague feeling that Xiao Yu might have guessed right.
The final solution that was erased must have been a solution that required an extremely painful price, even more terrible than the destruction of the world. That was why the ancestor of the Lin family would leave hope while personally erasing the most desperate possibility.
"There's no point in thinking about this now." Chu Xuanyi forced himself to calm down. "At least, we've got the complete seal diagram and know how to activate it. This is our biggest advantage right now!"
He pointed to the intricate patterns that flowed endlessly on the stone tablet.
"Your Majesty, please use your best memory to memorize every rune and pattern on this stone tablet, stroke by stroke! Not a single detail can be wrong!"
"Me?" Xiao Yu was stunned.
"Yes," Chu Xuanyi said in a deep voice, "The Netherworld's energy will affect the mind. My memory may have been contaminated and may be distorted. You are the chosen one and will be least affected. Let's remember it together and verify it with each other after we go back to ensure that everything is safe!"
"good!"
He immediately concentrated his mind and calmed his spirit to the peak. He stared at the stone tablet with his eyes like lightning and began to force the millions of complex runes into his mind.
Chu Xuanyi also closed his eyes and used his mind as a pen to copy the diagram of this supreme battle formation that was related to the survival of the world, stroke by stroke.
Time, at this moment, becomes incomparably long.
The only sounds in the entire secret room were the heavy and suppressed breathing of the two people.
And the small figure sitting under the stone tablet with his knees hugged, watching them quietly and protecting them.
At this moment, a black-armored guard who had been guarding the entrance of the stone steps rushed in, crawling and tumbling, his face full of panic!
"Your Majesty! Imperial Master! Something bad has happened!"
His roar instantly broke the silence of the secret room!
Xiao Yu suddenly opened his eyes, bloodshot, and a violent murderous aura burst out uncontrollably: "What are you yelling about! Is the sky falling?!"
Forcing himself to memorize something so profound was extremely draining on his mind, and being suddenly interrupted made him extremely irritated.
The Black Armor Guard shuddered at his imposing presence, but still stammered urgently, "It's... it's pursuers! Lots of pursuers! West, north, and east, they're all filled with people! It's a black mass, almost surrounding the entire mountain! Inside... inside there are tons of monsters wearing the black robes of the Black Bone Tribe! They're... they're setting up a battle formation!"
"What?!"
Chu Xuanyi also suddenly opened his eyes, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes!
"How could they get here so fast?!"
"Pass the order! Everyone, abandon the outer perimeter and retreat to the main courtyard! No one is allowed to attack without authorization. Anyone who disobeys this order will be executed!"
"Retreat all?!" Xiao Yu was shocked. "Wouldn't that mean we're handing over the outer defense circle to others?"
"We don't need to guard the perimeter," Chu Xuanyi said coldly. "That bewitching miasma is the first line of defense. If they want to get in, they'll have to get through it first. Even if they can find a way to break through the bewitching miasma, this house will be enough for them to suffer!"
"Our mission isn't to kill them all, but to buy time! Until we completely grasp this seal map! As long as we have the seal map in hand, we have the ultimate trump card to negotiate with them and even completely resolve the crisis in the capital!"
Xiao Yu understood instantly.
Defense is their best attack now!
"I understand!" He nodded heavily, "I'll go pass on the message right away!"
"Ajiu."
"Here!" Jiu stood up immediately.
"Later, no matter what you hear or see, don't be afraid, okay?" Chu Xuanyi's voice was extremely gentle. "You just need to... tell me what you feel."
"Feel...what?" Jiu was a little confused.
"Any feeling." Chu Xuanyi squatted down and looked at her at eye level. "For example, where you feel uncomfortable, where you feel pain, where you feel cold... Tell me all these, okay?"
Although he didn't know why the adults said that, Jiu nodded vigorously: "Yes! Jiu got it!"
Soon, all the Xuanjia guards outside retreated into the courtyard of the main house and formed a defensive formation with the main house as the center.
Xiao Yu was in charge personally.
“Here I come!”
Chu Xuanyi suddenly opened his eyes.
He "saw" countless black shadows that had broken through the periphery of the soul-bewitching miasma and were rushing madly towards the ancestral house!
The people from the Wugut tribe and Prince Yu's mansion came prepared. They held a magical weapon made of animal bones and black crystals. The magic weapon could emit a strange black light, temporarily dispelling the surrounding bewitching miasma.
"A bunch of idiots." Chu Xuanyi sneered.
The soul-bewitching miasma is just an appetizer; the real killer move is this house itself!
"grown ups……"
At this moment, Ajiu beside him suddenly pulled his sleeve, and his little face wrinkled.
"My...my left foot...hurts so much..." She pointed at her left ankle, her voice tinged with tears, "It's like...it's like so many ants are biting me! It's numb and painful!"
Left foot?
Chu Xuanyi's heart moved, and his mind immediately sank into the formation!
left!
On the left side of the house, in the direction of the dangerous "Double Ghosts Knocking on the Door" formation formed by dead locust trees, a group of warriors wearing the uniforms of Prince Yu's Mansion were trying to force their way through!
"So that's it!" Chu Chaoyi understood instantly!
Ah Jiu's bloodline and this formation share the same origin! If any part of the formation is attacked, it will be directly reflected in her body like a nerve reflex!
