Chapter 254 The first attempt (please subscribe + ask for monthly votes)
The process of refining the Divine Breath Cauldron went smoothly.
Ji Qingling took the little bell in her hand, and with a thought in her mind, the little bell flew out of her hand.
The enlarged little bell covered her and Ji Guangjin.
Others not far away saw Ji Qingling and the other person disappear from their sight!
Ji Zhihan walked over, and his spiritual sense was indeed unable to detect anything. The two people in the Divine Breath Cauldron were also staring at each other, and it seemed that they were doing well.
As soon as Ji Qingling gathered her thoughts, the Divine Breath Cauldron returned to its original size of a small bell and stood in the palm of her hand.
She was very satisfied. The space inside the Divine Breath Cauldron was not small, enough for eight people to hide.
After putting away the small bell, Ji Qingling took out the low table and began to draw talismans. She had been using talismans too frequently recently, so she had to give up practicing and keep working hard.
Ji Guangjin was responsible for discussing tomorrow's battle with others.
Yunjin gave the signal and everyone attacked at the same time. The attack power of these four statues was powerful and tireless.
In tomorrow's attack, everyone should put their own safety first, and retreat if they cannot resist.
In fact, the meaning is very simple. Yun Jin does not have any hope of winning in one fell swoop tomorrow. Tomorrow's battle will be mainly for testing.
When Ji Qingling finished drawing the talisman in her hand, Ji Guangjin began to convey the main idea to her.
It was mainly a test. Ji Qingling couldn't help but be a little surprised, "Are those four statues so powerful?"
"From what they said, your success rate is too high. I have never seen you draw a useless talisman!"
Ji Qingling picked up another piece of talisman paper and continued, "I am a talent for making talismans."
This time, Ji Guangjin actually thought that she was not bragging! She might really be a talent for making talismans!
"We have to fight the statue tomorrow, so we should save some spiritual power. This is not the secret realm of spiritual trees."
Talisman making is a technique that consumes a lot of spiritual energy. Ji Qingling has never stopped since the beginning. Although she did not show any signs of fatigue, Ji Guangjin still suggested that she conserve her strength for tomorrow's battle.
Looking at the pile of blank talisman papers, Ji Qingling sighed and decided that it would be better to be more restrained.
She stopped writing and began to practice like everyone else.
I thought to myself that I must take out the little bell and use it next time I draw talismans.
On the second day, the eight people were divided into four teams, each finding a direction to move forward.
They had to first test what exact distance the statue could sense.
When Yun Jin was three meters away from the statue, he saw the statue's eyes move.
"Prepare!"
Ji Qingling and the other person also took a few steps forward. The body of the statue made a crackling sound, as if reminding everyone that it had woken up.
The moment one of the statue's feet stepped off the altar, the entire statue lit up, and the long sword in its hand made a buzzing sound.
He raised his sword and slashed at the two men, and a huge force that cut through space rushed towards them.
Ji Guangjin cursed loudly and started fighting with Ji Qingling.
The statue's long sword was wielded by it with impenetrable force, and all of Ji Qingling's golden spikes were blocked by it.
With two snaps, Ji Qingling and Ji Guangjin's defenses were pierced by Ji Qingling's own golden cone.
The wind from the knife swept past, and Ji Guangjin was thrown several feet away! Ji Qingling held the Tongtian Sword tightly with both hands to resist, but was also repelled.
Just as she took out the talisman and was about to throw it out, Yunjin issued the order to retreat.
Ji Qingling turned around without saying a word, grabbed Ji Guangjin and fled quickly!
Rushing to the center of the palace, she summoned the Divine Breath Cauldron and waited for others to come.
Soon, Yun Jin and Ji Zhihan also retreated.
"Yunnan is injured!"
Jiang Siyun's voice came over.
Yunjin ran away quickly, and in just a few breaths he pulled Yunnan and Jiang Siyun back.
Jiang Siyun was also injured, but Yunnan was more seriously injured! Ji Qingling threw out the Divine Breath Cauldron and covered all eight people.
Yun Jin said in an urgent tone, "Daoyou Qingling, please help Yunnan heal his injuries!"
"Put him down."
Ji Guangjin also reached out to help Yunjin to help Yunnan sit cross-legged. A green light flashed in Ji Qingling's hand and shot towards Yunnan's wound.
Ji Zhihan had been keeping an eye on the outside, and only felt relieved when he was sure that the four statues had wandered around but could not find them.
Jiang Siyun said in a panic, "We are no match for it at all. In just a few breaths, our defense was broken. It swept its long sword and knocked us back at the same time. Yunnan was swept by the wind of the sword. I can only~"
She couldn't continue. Were they really too weak? They were beaten back as soon as they started?
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Yun Jin took over the conversation, "It's not just you, it's the same for us. If our defense is broken, I will call a halt even if you don't send a message to me."
Ji Zhihan nodded, "Same."
Ji Guangjin also told them about their situations. They were all similar. It only took a short time for everyone's defenses to be broken.
Zhao Rou frowned, "We can't even get through this level?"
"Today is mainly for testing, so prepare well in the days ahead before continuing."
The space inside the Divine Breath Cauldron is about the size of an ordinary room. Although it is not crowded for eight people, it is not very spacious either.
Except for Ji Qingling who was treating Yunnan's injuries, everyone else found a place to start practicing breathing exercises.
The four statues outside the tripod wandered around in the empty palace for several hours.
~ Three days later, Yunnan recovered from his injury and the eight people challenged the statue again, but still failed.
Although they were prepared this time and persisted a little longer than last time, Jiang Meng was injured again! For the next two months, Ji Qingling and the other eight people spent their days in a cycle of challenge, failure, healing, preparation, and challenge again.
As the number of challenges increases, the time they can persist becomes longer and longer.
~ Ji Qingling was drawing talismans behind the stone pillar, which was the location she had chosen recently.
It is a long distance away from the four statues and is safe enough.
The stone pillar is thick enough to cover the entire low table.
If no one came to look for her on purpose, no one would be able to see what she was doing behind the stone pillar.
The number of talismans in stock finally started to increase again, which made her feel a lot more at ease.
However, there is still no progress in challenging the statue. The worst plan is to stay here until the ten-year period is over and then be teleported out.
That day, Ji Guangjin thought of a new idea: when he couldn't win the fight, he shouldn't run away too fast.
Keeping a distance from the statue, each of the four teams brought the statue to the center of the palace.
At that time, it will not be two people against one statue, but eight people against four statues.
Next, those who can bear it, such as Ji Qingling, Yun Jin and Ji Zhihan, should bear more. Those who can't bear it, such as the remaining few people, should hide.
His idea may sound ridiculous at first, but upon closer thought, it is a good idea.
The next day, there were still four teams. This time they only needed to defend their entire body to the utmost and start to escape when the statue began to step down from the altar.
Keep a distance from the statues, make sure not to lose them, but also not to be seriously injured by them, and finally successfully lead the four statues to the center of the palace! (End of this chapter)
