This person's true energy was clearly golden-white before, so why did it suddenly turn dark green just now? Moreover, this dark green true energy seems to carry a deadly poison, which actually poisoned all the puppets that he had painstakingly created through corpse refining!
"This is a neurotoxin. Although corpse refining can make these puppets feel no pain and keep moving forward, once they suffer damage to their nervous system, they will be completely unable to move! I can't believe I didn't think of such a simple principle!" Elder Ren said in his spiritual world with frustration.
Hearing what Elder Ren said, Chen Zhou roughly guessed that the poison should be effective this time. He did not expect that the root of the poison tree could make its true energy carry the poison according to the situation in order to break through the enemy.
"Pat-pat-pat..."
One by one, the puppets fell to the ground, their bodies turning dark green. Instantly, the entire field was covered with dark green puppet corpses.
The place was a complete mess.
Chen Zhou continued to flexibly change positions within the playing area.
The five shadowy figures still couldn't do anything to Chen Zhou.
By this time, Chen Zhou had run around the field several times. He carefully studied the ground and finally discovered the black array on it.
Having dealt with all the puppets and discovered the formation, the situation seemed to be developing in the direction Chen Zhou hoped for. However, only Chen Zhou could sense the urgency of the situation.
Because the black formation that Chen Zhou discovered was very large, it could be said to cover the entire castle, and what Chen Zhou saw was only a small part of the formation.
Moreover, this small part was already extremely complicated, and Chen Zhou couldn't figure out how the battle lines were connected for a while.
Even a small part of it was so complicated that Chen Zhou couldn't decipher it for a while, not to mention that there were still five shadowy giants chasing after him.
The current situation is that Chen Zhou has to dodge the attacks of the shadowy giants while studying the giant formation. Chen Zhou has already guessed that these five shadowy giants probably come from the huge formation under his feet. All the shadowy figures that Chen Zhou had seen before came from the formation under his feet.
If this formation can be broken, Chen Zhou's situation will be much better.
Moreover, the current situation can be salvaged to some extent; at least we can see that mysterious person.
For Chen Zhou, whether or not he saw the mysterious person was of paramount importance, as it was at least related to whether he could rescue Ji Lanying and the other two.
Now that Chen Zhou has accepted the Transformation and Enlightenment Pill in the transaction, it means that the transaction has officially begun. Chen Zhou must find a way to complete this transaction, which is to fulfill his promise to Ji Lanying to rescue her two junior brothers.
Chen Zhou has also worked extremely hard in this regard, and the fact that he has made it this far shows that he has given it his all.
“You simply cannot break this formation. Continuing to drag it out will not do you any good. Those shadowy figures have no stamina to follow, while your stamina and energy are limited. As time goes on, your energy and stamina will decrease, and you will not be able to gain the upper hand against these shadowy giants,” Elder Ren said slowly.
Ren Lao's analysis was correct, but Chen Zhou was now out of options. He couldn't escape, and he couldn't fight back. He could only stall for time by maneuvering like this.
"How about using the roots of the poisonous tree to absorb these shadows?" Chen Zhou suggested. Now it seemed that this was the best method.
"You can no longer absorb these five shadowy figures, can't you feel it? The feeling you get from these five shadowy figures is no longer the same as before," Elder Ren replied.
Indeed, these five dark figures gave Chen Zhou the feeling of being five black objects, unlike the previous dark figures which gave him a sense of gas.
Therefore, it is sufficient to show that the five shadow giants have now been transformed by the master of this formation, which can be said to have provided them with a protective shield, preventing the five shadows from being absorbed by Chen Zhou as easily as before.
This was the first time Chen Zhou had ever seen such a large formation. So far, the largest formation he had ever seen was the Divine Tree Protection Formation, which combined four formations into one. And the Divine Tree Protection Formation was only a quarter of the giant formation Chen Zhou was currently standing on.
"What's going on? The power of these five shadowy figures has suddenly increased?" Chen Zhou continued to dodge, and just as he dodged a heavy punch from one of the shadowy figures, he brushed past the huge, dark fist and muttered to himself.
Chen Zhou had clearly calculated the angle and force. In his previous dodges, he used only that amount of force and successfully dodged each time.
This time, Chen Zhou used the same power, and he was almost hit by the dark figure. If Chen Zhou hadn't increased his power afterward, he probably would have been hit.
These shadowy figures even improved.
Chen Zhou took it seriously; it seemed that escaping was a skill in itself.
Since Chen Zhou acquired the Salted Fish System, his combat abilities have skyrocketed, and he has never considered running away. Now it seems that he really needs to learn a lot along the way.
Currently, Chen Zhou only has one technique related to movement, which is the Swallow Shadow Ghost Step.
The Swallow Shadow Ghost Step is a low-level technique. It was very useful for Chen Zhou when he was in the Qi Refining stage, but it is no longer very useful for him now.
Chen Zhou's current opponents are almost all at the fourth level of the Core Formation stage, and very few are at the Foundation Establishment stage like Chen Zhou; almost all of them are at or above the Foundation Establishment stage.
Against opponents of higher levels, Chen Zhou could no longer gain an advantage using the Swallow Shadow Ghost Step. On the contrary, continuing to use it would only create an opening for his opponent. If this opening were seized upon, Chen Zhou would likely be severely injured in one blow.
Therefore, Chen Zhou hardly uses the Swallow Shadow Ghost Step anymore.
